MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT.
Was Not at ElI1s-NIr. HinkIe Says He
Isn't Mixing in Politics.

The printed report that the Nation
al Association of Business Men and
Manufacturers had held a meeting in
conjunction with the Union League of
Topeka Monday night at the Elks club
behind closed doors appears to have
no foundation at all for truth to stand
upon. The meeting was held at the
Democratic Flambeau hall and was
open to the public. The officers and
members of the local lodge of B. p.
Q. Elks are very indignant today over
the false position in which they were
placed in the matter.
Speaking today about the association
of which he is the Topeka representa-
tive, Ed Hinkle, former city clerk of
Milwaukee, said:
"A lot of miSStatementS have been
made in the papers about my work

ON SYSTEMATIC LINES.
The Search for the America III Will Be
Prosecuted Hereafter.


Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 25.-The work of
systematizing the search for Alan P.
Hawley and Augustus Post of New
York missing aeronauts, and their bal
loon, America II, is we'll under way
here. Edmond F. Stratton, represent
ing the Aero club of America, spent q
busy night following his arrival late
yesterday and has made his headquar-
ters at a local point at which reports
from Ontario and Quebec will be re-
ceived.
From the data already available and
that which is coming in a map is being
prepared upon which the location and
time of sighting balloons last week viii

within 4S hours" said Mr. Stratton
today, sufficient advices probably will
be at hand to indicate the courses Of
the balloons known to have crossed
Georgian bay. If when the courses OF
the AZurea, Dusseldorf II and others
are determined, there still remains sew
eral points on the map where a balloon
has been sighted and these points indi-
cate fairly straight course, it will be
taken for granted that the America II
got safely across the Great Lakes
Despite the somewhat pessimistic
view by the Dominion government Of
ficiaIs of the results to be obtained
from a search of the vast wilderness of
northern Ontario, Quebec and Ungaya,
Mr. Stratton is confident that a
definite trail can be found which will
lead to the finding of the America II

case against the accused. It was clear,
Mr.. Muir said, that the intrigue be-
tween DR.. Crippen and Miss Leneve
constituted the motive for the murder
of Crippen's wife. He dwelt upon the
evidence given by Mrs. Jackson, Miss
Leneve's Iandlady. at the preliminary
hearing and which will be introduced
at the trial. The illness of the accused
on the night of the interview with Mrs.
Jackson was not, the prosecutor said,
an ordinary illness but a condition of
horror, the explanation of which was
the knowledge that had come to her
that Crippen had murdered his wife.

OGDEN, Utah., June 1.-Four
hundred kegs of powder were pre-
maturely discharged today in the
quarry of the Union Portland c.
ment company near "Devil's Slide
in Weber Canyon, eight miles east
of Morgan, Utah. Seventeen labo"-
ers are missing and IT is believed
that all were killed. With the eX-
ception of Hugh Mcclure, the fore
man, all the missing are foreigners.
Legs, arms, and heads of the miss
ing workmen were found on the
hillside across the canyon, one hun
dred yards from the quarry. Tha
body of a Hungarian was hurled
out of the tunnel with such force
that it was cut in two by tele-
graph pole. The tunnel had been
driven into the hill above the ce-
ment plant and 400 kegs of powder
placed therein. The workmen were
preparing to seal the chamber pre-
liminary to firing the mine when

OF POSTAL BILL
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The house
republicans went on record tonight
for the prompt passage of the pos
tai savings bank bill, which is a
part of Taft's legislative program.
The bill was finally agreed upon at
a four-hour caucus lasting until
midnight. The caucus fixed at 65
per cent the amount of funds plac-
ed in the postal savings banks that
must remain on deposit in each
state and territory, and so per cent
as a proportion of such funds that
the trustees may withdraw for in
vestment in United States securities.
The other per cent must be held
in permanent reserve In the United
States treasury.

WASHINGTON, June by a
vote of 25 to 81 the senate to-
day refused to challenge the su-
preme court of the United States
to annul their decision regarding
the right of common carriers to
transport commodities produced by
themselves. The vote was take I'll
upon the amendment TO the rail-
road bill offered by Bailey, making
it unlawful for any railroad COM
pany to transport from one state
to another, ANY article of COM
modify manufactured, mined, or
produced by it, under IT'S authority,
or. by any corporation or joint stock
company, or partnership as said
railroad company holds, owns, con-
trolls, directly or indirectly
The amendment was intended 20
remedy the supposed defect in the
act of 1906, out of which grew the
famous decision of the supreme
court in which the government un-
dertook to prosecute u number of
roads engaged in mining anthra-
cite coal in Pennsylvania. The
court held the law constitutional
but materially limited it's applica-
tion.
The time consumed III the debate
of the Bailey amendment prevented

Railroads Allowed to Transport Own Arti-
cleS From One State to Another
Water Transportation is Brought Under
the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Gem
merce.

The first vote of the day was on
the LaFollette amendment provid-
ing for the physical valuation of
railroads as a basis or fixing rates
and was rejected. A modified pro-
vision by Simmons requiring such a
valuation of property effected in
any given case was also lost.
A tendency to bring water trans
portation under the jurisdiction
of the interstate commerce was
found in the expression of
amendments by Simmons of North
Carolina and Burton OF Ohio. Both
were adopted. The first was pre-
sented in connection with the long
and short haul provision and the
Burton amendment dealt with rail
roads reducing their rates in coin
petition with water route. By
the adoption of the amendment the
railroads will not be permitted to
increase reduced rates, unless, after
a hearing by the interstate conf
merce commission, it Is found that
such proposed increase rests upon
changed conditions other than the
elimination or decrease of water
competition. The commission was
also given the right to prescribe the
minimum railroad rates for lines
competing with waterways whenever
the object of the railroads is t.
destroy the water competition.

FRESNO Cal, June 1.-The
southbound Owl train crashed into
a band of mules shortly after leavz
ing Newman last night and before
the engine could be brought to a
standstill eighteen OF the animals
had been mangled and killed The
mules were evidently blinded and
terrified by the engines headlight

gineer Kerr blew the whistle per-
sistently in an effort to frightel
them off.
When the train was stopped Il
was found that some of the bodies
were underneath the cars and tot
wheels were clogged so badly with
the flesh of the animals that over
one hour was spent by the crew
in getting the train in shape to
travel again. Trainmen regard the
fact that no one was injured as a
remarkable thing.

MOST INGENIOUS SAFE
THAT WAS EVER MADE,
Ry Associated Press.

LONDON, June What is de-
clared to be the most ingenious
safe ever constructed has been COM
pleted for the British Radium cor
poration. The problem presented
to the manufacturers was not only
to construct a safe that would bid
defiance to burglars, but which at
the same time would prevent TIL
escape of the radium,
1t is well known to scientists that
radium emanations will pass
through the thickest and hardest
steel. For this reason the inner
Golfer of the safe was made of lead
three inches thick, enclosed within
a burglar-proof steel shell. There
are many other special features, in
cluding means OF collecting the ra-
dium emanating before the Golfer ie
opened.
This compartment safe is de-
signed to hold 100 pounds of ra-
dium, valued at five billion dollars
The total weight OF the safe IS
5000 pounds.

Attorneys WILL
PLAN ANSWER TO
GOVERNMENT SUIT
BY Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, June within the
next two days the attorneys for
the twenty-five railroads temporarily
restrained from advancing freight
rates, will meet here to plan an
answer to the governments suit.
1t was announced tonight by the
attorney for one of the roads that
the attorney generals petition for
a permanent injunction will be BIT
terly contested.
The principal ground upon which
the suit will be fought is the con-
tention that there is an agreement
among the railroads to advance the
rates in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. If any agreement
at all is admitted, the railroads
will contend that it IS legal and

industrial conditions, to protect
the interests of the general public
