Department

In a communication addressed to
the Development association. General
Manager Bancroft of the o. S.
Line declines to grant the request
that the new station at Medbury
townsite be changed from Hammett
to Medbury. When the siding was
put in last fall the railroad named
il Hammett in honor of the presi-
dent of the irrigation company. The
townsite had been named Medbury
by the Fruitland Acreage company,
as at that time it was thought there
would be no difficulty in having this
name retained, although the new
townsite was two miles from the
old location of that name, which has
been known as such for the past %
years. On account of the great ad-
vertising value of the name Medbury
the action of the railroad company
was opposed by nearly every resident
of the valley, and at a meeting Of
the settlers, association, held last fall,
a set of resolutions was adopted ask
the railroad company to reconsider
the naming of the station. This was
sent to the Short Line officials, ac-
companied by a petition containing
the names of practically every set
tier in the valley. In his reply, Mr.
Bancroft regrets that it is impossible
for a number of reasons to comply
with the request. He states that sucl
a change would result in a great
deal of confusion in the operation oi
the railroad, for the particular rea
son that the present Medbury station
at the foot of the hill has been II

road was constructed; that it ha

Past Governor
Rollins Fined
for Smuggling
Former Chief Executive Of New
Hampshire Pays $4,000 for Con-
spiraoy to Defraud.

NEW YORK, May H.-Frank West
Rollins. former governor of New Hamp-
shire, made his promised statement to-
day in answer to the charges of conspi-
racy to defraud the government of Gus
toms dues brought against him by Gus
toms inspectors las; Friday. 1t took the
form of a plea of guilty, and Judge rand,
sitting in the United states circuit court,
construed 1t as an admission that Mr..
Rollins had violated the law knowingly,
wilfully and maliclously and fined him
$4,000.
The law provides a maximum penalty
of two years in prison. fine of $4,000
or both. The former governor took a
big roll of bills from his pocket and paid
his fine without comment The total
value of the articles which the former
governor neglected to declare is given as
S4.736.
The original complaint named Mrs.
Rollins, his wife, and their son Doug
las, as parties to the conspiracy, but the
federal grand jury today handed down
but one indictment naming only the
former governor. AS soon as Mr.. Rollins
learned of it he promptly entered his plea,
and when he had paid his fine, visited
the customs house. where. 1t is said, he
paid an additional 1880 in duties on the
understanding that further proceedings
against his family be dropped.

Two hours.

DETROIT, May A.-The balloon Centen-
NAL, piloted by Captain H. e. Honeywell
and carrying also William Assman, which
left st. Louis yesterday in an attempt to
capture the Lahm cup for long distance
flights, landed today at the little town
OF Shiloh, ten miles north Of Iona, Mich.
The balloon had been in the air twenty-five
hours and had covered $50 miles.
Crossing Lake Michigan early in the day
from Kenosha, the balloonists made good
time and had hopes of reaching New Eng
land until they encountered calm over
Lake Michigan.
After vainly trying different attitudes
for a favorable wind they landed gently,
between 3 and 4 o'clock, dropping near the
Pere Marquette depot and having an hour
before train time to wrap their pack. They
arrived here late today and left tonight
for St. Louis.
Captain Honeywell said they kept at a
high altitude all night because of rain
storms below them and passed Kenosha

Miners Strike
in Illinois May
Last for Months
Seventy. Thousand Men Out of
Work, with No Peace in Sight
Between Union and Operators.

PEORIA, May 21-President John II.
Walker OF the United Mine Workers Of
Illinois has issued a call to all the miners
delegates TO meet in private tomorrow and
plan for future action. Negotiations with
the Illinois operators came to actual close
this afternoon when President Walker
called sine die adjournment Of the Joint
conference. He had attempted to prevail
on President Moorehead of the operators
to call the adjournment, but on the latter $
refusal Walker welded the gavel.
President Walker is as much at a loss
as any other delegate as to what action
further than calling a general indefinite
strike in Illinois will be taken at tomor-
rows meeting.
First, 1 think. we will call every man
in the mlner'E union from further work,
until some sort of agreement is made
through the concessions Of either one Of
tn econtending associations. This call will
include bumpers. pit men and others who
have been working as stipulated in the
temporary agreement. There is no telling
how long this strike will last, but it's
aspect is serious. There are nearly 5000
men out of work"
The operators issued statement today
declaring to concede the demands Of the
miners would not only disturb the diff
ferentials throughout the state, but make
II more difficult for the Illinois mines
TO meet the competition of the other coal
producing states.

0KLAH0MANS OBJECT TO
WAY BANK BOARD is DOING
Much Dissatisfaction Exists In south
ern state over Guaranty Law
Results.
(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN May H.-(Special 1.-THE crlti-
cism made by Martin Dimery, secretary to
former Governor Sheldon OF the bank
guaranty law OF Oklahoma has been veri-
fled by newspaper published in Ell Reno,
where Dimery is now located, which was
received at the state house today.
The newspaper criticized the action Of
the banking board in not permitting an
investigation Of the affairs of the defunct
Columbia Bank and Trust company and
objects to the proposed turning over of
the banks affairs to a purchaser of bank
rupt concerns for whatever price the insti-
tuition may bring. 1t is held that on the
remaining assets the state can realize moth
ing except through the bankruptcy con-
Germ. The governor of the state is criti-
cized as is the banking board for en-
ploying so many outside attorneys when
the money reported spent for this pur-
pose, the paper says, should have gone
toward paying off the banks indebtedness.
In discussing a report that the banks are
going to resist the assessment of 1 per
cent on the increase in their deposits for
the last year, the paper says:
The bankers have seen Ier assessments
of the last two years absorbed into the
gulf made by the failure OF the Columbia
IL
investigation of the conditions OF the fail
ure is being permitted, it is generally un-
derstood that this assessment OF l per cent
on the increase of deposits Is made to
cover the balance of the deficit OF the de-
funct institution.
Accordingly 1t goes hard with the honest
bankers VINO have conducted their affairs
carefully and whose banks are in good
condition to put more of their honestly
earned money into the BLACK Hole OF the
Columbia" For this reason they are pre-
pairing to resist the payment and stand the
consequences. The method of procedure
of the banking board and the banking law
run In such difficult channels that the
bankers feel that this assessment OF ar
additional / per cent will go the same way
Of the unknown" which their former as
sessments have taken.
The bank guaranty fund has been in Q
precarious condition since the failure OF
the Columbia ana this assessment Is though
about sufficient to make up for the de-
pletion Of the fund which followed and pre-
pare for any failure which might come
within the next few months.

in that proportion should every citizen
have the ability to speak.
"Oratory, in truth, is not dead and not
only has the newspaper not removed the
necessity for public speaking, but it has
made it imperative that there should be
public speaking to expose the mis-represen-
tations." One of the compliments rendered
Mr.. Bryan did not please him. Earlier
in the evening John Temple Graves had
said: From the tip of his eloquent tongue
he has plucked three presidential nomina-
tons"
In the course of his speech Mr.. Bryan
replied 1T wasn't fair to say that l have
won three presidential nominations with
my tongue, or to intimate that whatever
prominence 1 have attained has been by
speech. Whatever strength l have is not
individual, but is reflexive and has come
TO me because of the things l have advo-
Gated The things 1 have stood for have

Fumes Blow Against Light on
Lower Farnam.

In an explosion of sewer gas when a
sewer main was cut open and the gas
burst out upon a workman's candle, J. II:
Bracken, plumber received serious burns
and narrowly escaped death Friday after
noon. Bracken was making a connection
between two sewer trenches at Tenth and
Farnam streets. John Butcher, a fellow
workman, was holding a lighted candle
behind him as the first man spaded away
the earth of the main sewer line, when
the sewer gas burst forth through the new
vent and struck the flame In an ex-
plosion.
Brackens face and hands were badly
burned. His companion sprang out of the
trench uninjured. Police Surgeon Stand
even, who was called to the scene, dressed
the injured mans wounds and caused hin,
to be taken to the st. Joseph hospital.
