Fishkill Landing, N. Y. Especially
Fifteen men, three of them Amer
leans, were killed by a premature ex-
plosion of nitroglycerin in a tun-
mel which is to form part of the
great aqueduct to carry water from
the Ashokan dam, in the Catskills, to
New York.
Five men were terribly mutilated.
but happened to be so near the
mouth of the tunnel that they could
be rescued alive. The other Is were
found beneath a mass of rock and
debris, literally hammered by the
ing mass of heads, limbs and tor
SOS.
The squad of 20 men involved in
the accident, having drilled the holes
and placed the explosive, were troop
ing from the excavation, the Is kill
ed in the rear, and 5, all of whom
were foreigners, in the lead.
AS the five neared the mouth OF
the tunnel there was a terrific roar,
the countryside shook and the five
foreigners were hurled senseless to
the ground near the opening. In
side death was instantaneous to the
others.
The contracting firm, r. X. Ever
EFT & Co., employs $50 men in all.
and the explosion indicated immedi-
ately that there had been a disaster.
A hundred laborers rushed to the
mouth of the tunnel and, after drag
ging forth the injured, set to work
clearing away the rock and earth
to get at the dead.
AS the nitroglycerin had been pur-
posely set to shatter rock, it did not
damage the interior of the tunnel
more than the contractors had plan
ned, and after two hours work the
bodies were reached.
The scene of the accident was near
the top of a small mountain, a mile
and a half southeast of Cold Spring,
eight miles south of this place.
The explosion marks the first seri-
Gus accident on any work connected
with the aQueduct.

GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO
PROSECUTE BEEF TRUST
Three Firms NamedActon Against Them in Chicago
Blamed For High Prices.

Washington, D. c. Especially -
The Beef Trust" so-called, is to be
prosecuted by the national govern
ment The Department of Justice
evidently believes it's existence is a
leading factor in maintaining the
present high prices of fresh meats.
The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an investigation
which has been conducted by it's
special agents for some months. Ini-
tial proceedings will begin before the
grand jury at Chicago probably this
week, and may contemplate both civil
and criminal action.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift & Co.,
Morris & Co. and Armour & Co., all
big packing-house concerns, and all
of whom, it is said, are interested
in the National Packing Company.
The three first-named concerns are
commonly reported to control the Ma
tional Corporation for their common
benefit
The aim of the department has
been to ascertain the relations be-
tween the several firms, individually,
and the National Packing Company
for the purpose of determining
whether they have operated to con-
troll the prices of fresh meats, which,
according to almost universal COM
plant. have been going higher and
higher From the fact that proceed
ings are to be instituted, the infer
ence is that the officials feel salts

New York Especially The boycott
on high food prices started in Cleve-
land one week ago is growing rap
idly Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ne
braska, Illinois and Michigan are
now included in the ranks of the
crusaders in the West, while in the
East Maryland, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut and Delaware are lifting
their voices in feebler protests.
Ohio, however, is still the strong
hold of the movement. The Cleve-
land boycott has extended to Can
ton, where the Central Labor Union
has adopted a no-meat resolution,
and petitions are being circulated
with surprising results-to Column
bus, where a strong boycott has been
organized; TO Toledo, Akron and
other cities of the State. The cru
SADIE in Ohio has found encourage
ment in the publicly expressed be-
lief of Governor Hartman that a
food trust is gobbling excessive pro-
fits somewhere between the produc-
er and the consumer. He has called
on the legislature to hunt the trust
out of the woods and exhibit it to
the people.
II is estimated that more than
100000 persons have in brief
week become actively isterested in
the boycott. Dispatches from Chica-
go said that a boycott soon will be
started in that city by the Chicago
Federation of Labor

fled they have a good case.
One possible method of action may
be that of a suit to dissolve the COM
pany under the Sherman Antitrust
Law, as an organization operating
in restraint of interstate trade. Pro-
ceedings against individuals also may
result.
The investigations conducted by
the department. resulting in the de-
termination to proceed in the courts
against the alleged combination, had
their inception in an inquiry into the
practices of one of the Western rail
roads in making shipments for Nor
ris & Co. which, it had been charged,
amounted practically to rebating.
These were gone into fully at the
time and the conclusion resulted that
while they could readily be regarded
as improper, they had nothing to do
with rebating. The practices COM
planned of, however, were discontin-
ued
Promptly upon learning the deci-
sion of the Department of Justice
to take action against the so-called
Beef Trust, Alfred r. Urion, head
of the legal department of Armour
& Co., one of the packing concerns
affected, left hurriedly for Chicago.
Mr., Urion had been in Washing
ton more than week, watching the
developments in the government s
proposed action, and it is understood
he had some conferences with the
Attorney General and the Depart
ment of Justice.

A dispatch from Kansas City says
that the experiment of the bricklay-
ers' union in pledging itself to alb
stain from meat for 80 days was re-
ceived so favorably on the first days
that other labor organizations of that
city will follow its example. In more
than 100 Kansas City homes families
sat down to meatless meals in &C
cordance with the bricklayers' pledge,
while the antimeat movement has
spread also to Atchison, Leaven-
worth, ST. Joseph, Topeka and other
cities in that part of the country.

For the third time the House of Rep

(SpeciaD BY carrying his wife in
his biplane on 22-mile cross-coun-
try trip from the Aviation Field to
a point half a mile out over the
ocean and back; by taking another
passenger on a 12-mile flight over
the fields, and by taking three other
passengers, one at time, on short
flights, Louis Paulhan established
new worlds records for heavier than
air flying machines. No other ayi-
ator has taken up so many passen-
gers in one day and no other avi-
ator has taken a woman for a high
flight over fields and woods and w
lagos and surf for more than 20
miles, Paulhan flew at an altitude
of from 500 to 1000 feet over Re-
dondo Beach, Venice by the Sea
and other resorts toward Point Firm
in. There were no life buoys tied
to the machine to save them from
death in the waves should they fall.
He made this trip and other perilous
flights with ease.
The passenger carrying record is
held by Orville Wright, who flew
with Captain Englehardt for l hour
and 35 minutes at Berlin last fall;
but Wright did not leave the course.
Paulhan flew 33 minutes on his
22mile trip with his wife. His r.
mile trip was made with Clifford B.
Harmon, of New York. Besides
these, he took up Mrs. Cortlandt F.
Bishop, wife of President Bishop, of
the Aero Club of America; Lieut.
Paul Beck, of the United States
Army Signal Corps; William Ran
dolph Hearst, newspaper publish
er, and newspaper reporter.
The flights were made under per-
feet atmospheric conditions. Earlier
in the afternoon the wind had been
tpuffy" and the other aviators had
gone back to their tents after try
ing the course for a few laps.
While the crowd waited patiently
in the sunshine, Paulhan went over
the parts of his machine. At 2.27
O'Clock, after putting on his yellow
cloak and helping his wife to her
high perch, Paulhan flew out over
the grandstand to give the big
crowd greeting. With their cheers
sounding family. he left the course
on his next lap and headed for the
ocean. In ten minutes he had be-
come a blur against the sunlit clouds
that curtained the Pacific.
At $50 o'clock Paulhan again
came in sight, and at O'Clock he
landed directly in front of the grand
stand. He was carried down the
narrow aisle of frantic neOnle 81

AS he was in an amiabie mood,
he was hesieged with pleas to take
up friends. He returned to his ma
chine and began to run an aerial bus

Pacific train from Kansas City was
held up by four masked men be-

The four masked men tagged the
train one mile east of Eureka and 80

showed revolvers into faces of the en-
gineer and fireman. The baggage
and the mail express cars were de-
