MEET MINERS SCALE.
Illinois Operators to Investigate Cause
of State Strikes.

Chicago, May 31.-Railroad man
ayers and manufacturers are to inves-
tigate the causes of the continued coal
strike in Illinois. as the miners and
operators have come to an agreement
in all the other states except in the
southwest The railroad managers will
meet the Illinois Coal Operators asso-
citation today and the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association has called a spe-
cial meeting of its members for Thurs
day, when the coal operators will be
asked to explain their position
The operators say they have offered
the miners the same increase in wages
as was offered in PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa and accepted by the
men in those states. The operators say
they still stand ready to pay the ad-
vance demanded by the miners in their
national convention, but will not go
beyond that. if they have to keep the
mines closed all summer

Of Aeroplanes for Fighting Fu-
ture Battles.
THEY COULD SNEAKUP
And Destroy a City or a Fort,
He Says.
BY Dropping Down Dynamite or
Picric Acid.

New York, May 31.-The Curtiss
flight from Albany to New York has
started anew the discussion as to the
possible availability of the aeroplane
as means of offense in time of war
fare Glenn H. Curtiss i; an enthu-
siastic believer in the 'taeroplane war

acid bombs for the destruction of hos
tile fleets. fortifications and cities.
All the great battles of the future
will be fought in the air." declared
CurtiSs.
Army men are not so certain as to
the use of the aeroplane in time of
war. Most of the officers stationed at
Governors Island, while willing to
admit that the aeroplane should be
invaluable for scouting purposes, are
skeptica1 as to its value in offensive
warfare.
In the opinion of Brigadier General
Walter Howe, commanding the de-
partment of the east, the aeroplane
could not be a dangerous factor in a
hostile attack on New York
Flying low, shrapnel would get it, !"
he said. while flying high, its bomb
could do no harm.
I'VE have made some experiments
with balloons, and have found that
with shrapne1 we can wreck them at
certain ranges. What results would

ated as high and as fast as Curtiss
flew. it is probable that nothing at
all would happen to the aeroplane,
at its dizzy altitude, we would prob
ably escape unhurt. too"

out here today, pictures the aeroplanes
as a war menace and discusses the

fications you must circle around or
swoop down from a great height and
thus get near enough to the objective

sives.
Great execution could be done by
low flights and stealthy approaches.
With muff1ed motors there would be
practically nothing heard. Half a
dozen machines could sneak up, skim
ming low down, at night, being guided
by the lights and drop explosives with
time fuses attached just long enough
to allow you to get away. The result
would be indescribable-

FORGOT HIS KEYS.
Senator Dolliver Breaks Into His
Home Through a Window.

Washington, May 31.-The spectacle
of United States senator breaking
into his own house was witnessed by
a few passersby on fashionable Massa-
chusetts avenue last night The SEN
ator had been guilty of the trick that
is common enough among those of
more modest estate-forgotten his
keys.
Senator Dolliver OF Iowa, was the
house breaker. He had been with
members OF his family on a trip to
Mount Vernon. On his return to his
home he reached for his keys, only
TO find them missing-left in another
suit
The customary movements having
been devoted to an expression of views
upon the contretemps. reviewal OF
the situation, a fruitless ringing of
the bell and discussion of ways and
means, the party repaired to the rear,
where Senator Dolliver finally sue
ceeded in jimmying open window
Boosted by his young son, he man
aged to get astride the sill and into
the house. It was then an easy mat
ter to admit the others of the party.

Bleached Flour Case Called i'm
the Federal Court.
1t Is Neither a Criminal Nor a
Civil Action.
THE ADMIRALTY LAW
Has Been Invoked by the q. S.
Government.
Statute Confers the Right to
Seize Contraband Goods.

Kansas City, Mo-. May 31.-Mfllers.
grainmen and bakers from various
parts of the country were in the fed
eral court here today when the case
OF the government against certain mill
iers charged with aduIteration in
bleaching -four and with misbranding
nour in violation of the food and drug
act of 1905, was called before Judge
smith Mcpherson, of Red Oak, Ia.
The case is based upon the govern
ments seizure of 625 sacks of flour
in grocery store at Castle, Mo-. on
April IL, 1910. The flour had been
shipped by the Lexington Mill and
Elevator company of Lexington, Neb.
The case differs from that of either
a criminal or civil action in that it is
prought under the admiralty law
Whlcn gives the government the right
TO seize contraband goods.
Attorneys representing the Lex
lngton Mill and Elevator company last
week filed a motion in the federal
court here asking that the portion of
the governments petition charging
mlsoranding be stricken out The ar
gument on this motion first occupied
the time of the court today.
Pierce Butler, special United States
attorney of st. Paul, assistant United
states district attorney Leslie LYONS
or this city and various officials of the
department of justice and the depart
ment of agriculture represented the
government.
On the side of the defense were Ed
ward P. Smith, of Omaha, attorney
for the Nebraska millers; Judge A.
e Helm, of Wichita, and Bruce s. Ell
lott, of st. Louis. counsel for the
millers defense committee and for the
Alsop company. which is the princf-
pal concern manufacturing the bleach
ing machinery. Among the expert
witnesses that have been subpoenaed
are DR.. Harvey W. Wiley. of the de-
partment of agriculture and DR. Wal
ter s. Haines of Chicago.
The argument on the motion to
strike out a portion of the govern
ment's petition relating to the charge
of misbranding was not finished at
noon
Attorney Butler of ST. Paul. arguing
for the government, said this case was
brought under the admiralty law
which gives the government the right
to seize contra band goods. He cited
several decisions to prove it was
proper to amend an original charge
with subsequent charges in such
cases.

AN AVIATION TREATY.
United States and Mexico to Regu-
late Aerial Flights.

Washington. May 31.-AeriaI navf-
cation has made such rapid progress
that Secretary of State Knox and the
government of Mexico are negotiat-
ing an aviation treaty governing the
passage of airships across the bor-
der line between these two countries,
It will be the first treaty governing
aviation between nations and is al
ready on the road to completion. In
formation from the state department
is that Mr.. Knox is only awaiting the
text of Mexico's proposition in detail
before taking final action on the
terms which will govern the agree
ment.
Realizing the progress made in aer-
ial navigation the possibility of using
airships to avoid customs regulations
or even to bring in immigrants is al
ready a question which the Mexican
government feels must be given con-
sideration.
The plan is to make compulsory the
registration of airships which cross
the border and to exact that opera
tors of these machines be supplied
with copies of the regulations which
must not be violated.
