by the police here to be two Of the three
men wanted in connection with the rob-

Third Man Killed by Posse.
The third man wanted is said to have
been Joseph Pachecenski. who was killed

progress in car building. In the last six
years the size of street railway cars has
increased by leaps and bounds. and the
difficulty has been to make a strong
enough motor to drive the larger cars
without too great weight and size.
Lighter Car Is Used.
The car on which the party made the
trip yesterday seated about 20 persons
and weighed about five tons, motors,
trucks and all. The. average car of the
same size and seating capacity for use
in trolley systems weighs about eight and
half or nine tons, according to Mr..
Thresher.
The new car is built lighter by the use
of specially selected materials.
The motors are placed under the seats
in the middle of the car. They can, IL
cross seats are desired. be placed under
the floor, between the trucks.

H Llewelyn Jones For Repre-
sentative.

Mr.. H. L. Jones last week an
nounced bis candidacy for the
nomination on the Democratic
ticket for Representative from
this district.
Mr.. Jones is we'll known as a
practicing attorney in the courts
of this and adjoining counties.
He was a pioneer in Harper
county, coming some years ago
to Meade where he is now fully
intentified with the interests of
the county, being a land owner
to a considerable extent, and
owning fine home in Meade.
He has heretofore not been active
in politics and would not be rec
ognized by those who play the
game as one of them. Mr.. Jones
is close student of public af-
fairs, and also of local needs,
He has always been in favor of
banbguarantee law and of the
public utilities bill which failed
at the last Legislature. His con-
versation with US in the past
years has placed him in our mind
as not so much of partizan as
he is believer in the people and
the rights of the masses to gov
ern the county. Placing service
to the county above fealty to the
party.

The Matrons Contest.

On Thursday night at the
Methodist church was given the
Matrons Oratorical Contest un-
der the auspices of the W. c. T.
u. There were several lady
contestants. Two from Meade,
two from Fowler and three from
Plains. Although the house
was comfortably filledthere was
not the audiance, especially OF
men, that there should have
been. There were good many
besides the contestants from
Fowler and Plains. Rev.
Hancks, Rev. Webb of Plains
and Mrs. Haigh acted as judges
and it is certain that they judg-
ed impartially. The selections
we're appropriate and each lady
showed a good degree of the re-
citers talent and ability. With
out undue praise we can say
that some of them showed more
ability than we often see in the
professional reciters. The pro-
gram was interspersed with mu-
sic both vocal and instrumental.
Miss Lucille Leach sang to the
delight of the audiance Miss
White and Prof. Won Prosky
eace gave an instrumental solo
on the piano and violin respect
lively. At the close and while
waiting for the return of the
Judges Mrs. Mccartney gave
another selection. The verdict
of the judges was in favor of
Mrs. Phelps of Meade. Mrs.
Mccartney of Plains and Mrs.
Judd of Meade were second and
third respectively. Rev. Webb
of Plains announced the decision
and presented the w. c. T. U.
Silver Medal to Mrs. Phelps.
A free will offering was given
which amounted to $1C.41 which
goes to the w. c. T. U. work.

From the Chronoscope we
learn that Larned has been at
the invitation of Hays on a SINH
lar trip to that city, which Meade
made to Beaver. Fifty three
men of the business mems asso-
citation autoed across to Hays,
and among other interesting
things seen and done, they visit
ed the state experiment farm
there and the cement works,
The Chronoscope mentions as a
rather lucky and surprising fact
that every auto came home un-
der its own power. The dis
tance travelled was sixty miles
and the number of autos on the
trip fourteen. The Chronoscope
takes more space to tell of their
trip than The News does to re
count the adventures of the Com
mercial Club in Beaver. The
distance travelled by the Larned
machines was less that half of
that covered by the Meade ma
chimes, and the Larned men had
four more autos out than Meade.
Larned left town and returned
as each driver saw fit, while
Meade men went in a string and
all followed closely the pathfind'
err. More than half of the dis
tance travelled by the Meade ma
chimes was at high speed, about
thirty five miles an hour.

The Pinchot Investigation.

ton into the Balllnger-P1ncho
quarrel has dragged itself out to
the present. There has been a
constant effort on the part of the
majority of the committee of in
vestigation to cover up, withhold
and keep from the public any
evidence which would disclose
the true inwardness of any at
tempt to flimf1am the govern
ment out of the valuable proper
ties which Pinchot and Galvis
claim the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate and it's attorney"
we're trying contrary to law to
secure. On the other hand there
has been as plainly marked a
determination to bully and dis
credit anv and all witnesses who
we're willing to disclose what
ever they did know without any
effort at concealment. In ad-
ditional there has been a more or
less presistant effort to intimi-
date employees of the department
who knew and would testify as
to the unlawful methods of Bal
linger and his evident intention
to play into the hands of the
grabbers of privileges. This
line of intimidation has been. the
instant discharge of every per-
son who opposed the transfer of
this 5000 acres of valuable coal
lands to the syndicate from
Pinchot, to the private secretary
of Ballinger and others. The
Farm and Fireside publishes
a resume of the case up to the
present, from the pen of Judson
lC. Welliver, who is one of the
farmers loby at Washington.
We clip from that article the fol-
lowing:
"Now as to what has been act
ually brought out. Mr.. Pinchot
had charged that the public in
terest in the public domain was
unsafe under the guardiancy OF
Mr.. Ballinger as Secretary of
the Interior. Lewis r. CLAWS
had charged that the department
under Ballinger had been friend
lv to the so-called cunningham
group" of claimants to very valu-
able coal-lands in Alaska. The
CLAWS and Pinchot people long
ago insisted that the Morgan
Guggenhelm Alaska syndicate
we're certain to get these coal
lands if once they were patented
to the Cunningham claimants.
Cunningham and his associates
denied this, and the Ballinger
people branded it as mere mag
ining.
The thirty three Cunningham
claimants have filed on about five
thousand acres of coal-lands in
the midst of the Katalla coal
field in southern Alaska. The
lands are so located that they
dominate the entire field. Rep
resentatives of the Guggenheim-
Morgan syndicate recently testi-
fed, before the Senate Commit
tee on Territories that whoever
controlled t h e Cunningham
claims would control the entire
Katalla field. They say that in
that field were at least 500, 000,-
900 tons tons of available coal, in
the mining of which there would
be profit to whoever controlled
the field of from $2O0,0O0,000 to
$3.50, 100000 There, in brief, is
what the Cunningham claims
stand for.
Was Pinchot dreaming and
CLAWS crazy when they charged
that Cunningham meant Guggen-
helm and that if these lands
we're once patented to the Cum
nin@ham claimants they would
at once become the property OF
the Guggenheim syndicatel

syndicate had bought an option
on the Cunningham claims for
$250,000 and would take them
over just as soon as thev were
patented! Cunningham himself
had made an affidavit that the
Guggenheim- Morgan syndicate
had no interest whatever in the
lands. PLAINLY, either Cunning
ham or Birch had lied. Plainly,
likewise, Birch don't lie, for the
statement he made was decided
ly adverse to the interest of his
syndicate.
Not only did Cunningham tell
falsehood in this affidavit, but
that false affidavit was turned
over to Ballinger to be present
ed to Secretary of the Interior
Garfield as the conclusive argu-
ment why the Cunningham
claims should be put to patent.
Ballinger accepted this service
during 1908, in the interim be-
tween his retirement as Com
missioner of the General Land
Office and his return to official
life as Secretary of the Interior.
TO say the Cunningham affi-
davit was false does not prove
that Mr.. Ballinger knew it was
false. But leaving that aside,
Mr.. Ballinger an accepting this
very questionable legal employ
ment, was specifically violating a
law which forbids an official,
after retiring from service in one
of the government departments,
from prosecuting in that depart
ment any claim against the gov
ernment for long period after
his retirement. Mr.. Ballinger,
then. may have been entirely in
nocent in the matter of Juggling
the perjured affidavit all the way
from Seattle to Ohio in order to
present it in person to Secretary
Garfield. 1t is hard to believe
so good lawyer as he is reputed
to be could have been ignorant
of the fact that in any case he
was violating both the law and
common decency in performing
such service under the circum-
stances.
The Democrats on the COM
mittee had an opportunity to
serve the country and gain a
standing for their party in this
investigation by insisting on a
fair and open trial wherein the
whole case would have been laid
before the public, but they saw
fit to play peanut politics. and
hope to make political capital out
of the affair. They will likely
submit a minority report, which
will do neither their party nor
the people any. good whatever.
The ajority will likely submit
report which will be liberal
coat of whitewash for Ballinger.
There is likely to be another
separate report. This will come
from Hon. e. H. Madison, who
has done more to get clear un-
covering of every side of the
case, and to get all that any and
each witness testifying before
the committee knew, than every
other person or persons on the
committee. Mr.. Madison brings
to the duties of this investiga-
ton a clear. trained, judicial
mind, a determination to faith
fully serve us, his constituents.
and the public at large. He has
followed the case closely, as he
would a case tried before him as
Judge of the district court, and
his findings will be as unbiased
as the verdict of jury.
1t is this constant effort to
serve faithfully the public which
caused certain local politicians tc
declare that Mr.. Madison is
not Republican and that they
