about ten tubs a day.
He told Of being in a barn mixing the
product when the place was raided. and
he escaped by a secret stairway. Dries
bach said that the OleOmargarine moon
sinners had an organization to maintain
high prices, and that one Of the mem

Wellington, March 3.-The
list of dead and missing pas
sengers, trainmen and postal
employees, who were carried
down by the avalanche that
destroyed two Great Northern
trains Tuesday morning, now
contains Sc names.
Statements of the number
of laborers engaged in fight
ing the snow and who were
sleeping on the ill-fated trains
varies from twenty to thirty.
Consequently an. estimate of
100 dead is conservative.
The dead we're all residents of the north
west. OF the injured only one. the Rev.
Bishop Winget of Chicago, was an east
erner. No one who has looked at the
wreckage has the slightest hope of finding
any of the missing people alive. The ex-
plorations have uncovered only dead, and
some of these are shcckingly mangled.
An avalanche of dry snow might have
covered its victims alive, but the gorge
at Wellington is packed tight with wet
snow, ice. huge trees and glacial bouldeTs
of enormous weight. Two of the bodies
recovered were those of the electricians
who We're living in a cabin at the edge
of Wellington and who were carried with
their home 800 feet down the slope.

Hardly word was spoken, and not
shot was fired. The loudest sound was
the aged negro's shrieks for mercy.
After Brooks was hanged, the mob took
possession of Dallas for nearly three
hours. The jail was stormed and death
was threatened to three other negroes
held on charges of murder. They had
been taken away, however. and after a
vain search the mob dispersed.
The alleged victim of Brooks was the

PROOF PUT IN EVIDENCE

Albany y. Y, March 3.-This was dis
tinctly Senator Aids day at the bribery
investigation. The defendant occupied the
witness stand from the opening of The
session. and his direct examination was
unfinished when adjournment was taken
until tomorrow. Senator conger and his
attorneys offered no interruption while
the defendant told a story that contra
dicted at every point COnger's assertion
that Aids solicited and received $1,000
for blocking legislation hostile TO the
bridge companies.
Emphatic neniaIs.
Absolutely false" declared the accused
sena tor when COnger's testimony was re-
peated to him. He denied having taken
the bride and insisted that there had been
no conversation about such a transac-
tion
Moreover. he asserted that he had not
met his acCuser's brother. Frank. the
agent of the American Bridge company.
and that the first time he saw hiram
G. Moe was when he appeared on the
stand at this trial.
Aids tried 10 show that there was no
necessity for the bridge interests to give
him money in 1901, because the results
they are alleged to have wanted had al
ready been accomplished by orders from
Thomas G. Plat, then United Sta ties sena-
Aids then tried to- show that the bridge
company had reasons to know this.
Such proof was in the form of CORES
pondence between Aids and Platt. who
in 1901 was Republican leader in this
state, and between Plat and w. A.
Snlyth of OswegO. Smyth appealed to
Platt to suppress the bridge bill on which
COnger SAYS Aids based his demand for
corruption money and Piatt asked Aids
to see that the bill was killed.
Aids wrote to Platt declaring that the
bill was safely stuck in the committee
Of u. he ?
would never come out.
II developed today that Senator Platt
had sent orders TO Speaker Nixon in this
connection.
