IN MEMORIAM.
Tribute to the Memory Of W. Frank
Hart by c. Wilson Peck.

|
tury, it is fitting that some speci.
al tribute should be paid to his
memory; some record should be
inscribed to attest the noble
traits of his character; some
truths concerning his hope In
Christ laid bare, that we who
sorrow may find comfort in the
assurance that his spirit Is with
God. An earnest seeker after
Jehovah, his pleadlngs we're
LEAD kindly Light,
Amid the encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on'
And as year gave place to year,
he seemed to unblnd the ties of
earthly things, and lay hold most
earnestly, upon things heavenly
and divine.
Faithful to the teachings of
Cody parents, his whole life was
characterized by cleanness.
His attitude toward others was
an evidence of his belief in the
scriptural declaration that mo
man liveth unto himself and no
man dieth unto himself" that the
relationship which every man
sustains toward every other man,
is sacred trust, and that the
moral welfare of the community
rested not lightly upon his own
shoulders.
He was just In his dealings; and
the Church, IN the affairs of which
he was prominent, has lost a
faithful helper-one whose place
it will not be easy to fill.
The writer has before him a
letter from MIR. Hart bearing
date Novem Der 16, 191O-three
weeks before his death; aud, al.
though at that time he was in his
usual health, his writing bears
evidence of his readiness to "de.
part and be with the Lord"
There is expressed a spirit of
SUBMISSION, and a willingness to
go hence.
"How frail we are at best" he
writes. and how soon we may be
cut down, and the places which
know US now, will soon know US
no more forever" And then, to
give assurance of his unaltering
devotion to the highest of all
ldeals-Chrlst-he continues; 81
am sure of one thing, and that is,
| would like to know the truth
for myself; for the truth Is all |
that can do us any good. Oh,
may He glye us to know HIM bet.
ter and serve Him with more de-
votion."
The doctrines of his choice
were strictly orthodox. He |
loved the Bible, and was guided |
by its teachings, much OF which
he knew by heart. He was the
last surviving member of a large
family, his mother dying only
few months ago.
Though earth has received his
body, Angels have borne his
spirit back to God who gave 1t.
The grave is welcome to all it
gets. Its hewn walls cannot
hold his soul captive. He has
gone to Him who SAID, 81 go to
prepare a place for you, that
where l am, there ye may be,
also."
Mr.. Hart decended from one of
two branches of the Hart family,
both of which were prominent in
England three hundred and fifty
years ago. The earlier ones
were Friends; but since 1885, al.
most all of the Harts In America
have been identified with the
Baptist denomination.

FOREST IKCEkDIhRY
ABROAD IN COLORADO
KINDLED SIXTY-FIVE FIRES IN
MINNESOTA DISTRICT YES
TERDAY.
Patrol Has Been Organized Especially
for His Capture.

Denver, Oct. 14.-Mounted upon a
fleet horse and moving rapidly from
place to place is a mysterious incen-
diary setting at naught the combined
efforts of a large force of fire fight
ers working in the vicinity of Mira
monte to subdue the fires which
started in the heavy timber of that
section several days ago.
So clever has he been in evading
capture that it became necessary to-
day to organize a patrol whose only
duty it will be to capture him. Re
venge and spite work are the only
motive for his action according to the
forestry officials.
The district in which the fires are
burning has settled rapidly in recent
months, and this is supposed to have
stirred the anger of some of the old
settlers. Today more than sixty small
fires were started and the blaze covers
an area of fifteen square miles. Mar
row escapes from death have occurred.
A party of ten fighters was entrapped
in a gulch and held prisoners for two
hours with the flames roaring all
around them. All were rescued by
the government agents sent in search
of them.

WAGING BATTLE ON
FAMILIAR FIELDS
ROOSEVELT ASSAULTED TEN
DEMOCRATIC OUTPOSTS
YESTERDAY.
With Text and Slogan He Opened
Stimson's Campaign.

Elmira, N. Y, Oct. 14.-With one
broadside for Tammany Hall and an
other for Wall street, Roosevelt
opened his campaign today for Hen
ry L. Stimson and the rest of the
republican state ticket.
The text of his speech was Wall
Street and Tammany Hall Have
Struck Hands" His slogan was
you are wanted in room 212. Are
you going?"
Room PIP in the Rochester hotel
was occupied by Charles f. Murphy,
leader of Tammany Hall, during the
democratic state convention.
Roosevelt started things going in
his first speech of the day at Dun
kirk. He also spoke at Fredonia,
Sinclairville, Gerry, jamestown, Sal
amanca, Wellsville, Hornell, Corning
and Elmira.
He had only one theme. 1t was
what he termed the alliance between
Wall street and Tammany Hall, which
he said was the most complete alli-
ance between corrupt business and
corrupt political bosses which the
state had seen since the days OF
Tweed.
If the democrats should win the
election, he said, Tamnany Hall and
Wall street would dominate the state
to the detriment of the people. OPP
posed to that he pictured the repub-
lican party as the true representa-
tive of popular rule.

TACOMA GRAND JURY BILLS
They Are Expected to Be
Followed by Similar Re-
port by a Spokane Grand
Jury-Dummy Entrymen
Were Used.

Washington, Oct. 14.-After months
of secret effort and patient waiting
the officials of the general land of
flee are able to announce today the
indictment of a number or claimants
to valuable lands in Alaska The en-
tries involved number 154 and cover
almost 10000 acres of land, all of
which lies in Bering lake district, in
which the Cunningham claims are To-
Gated. They are what are known as
the English, or Stracey, and Chris
topher Simmonds groups, the for
mer containing so and the latter "A
claims of 100 acres each The depos-
its covered by these claims are be-
lieved to be as rich as those Of the
Cunningham mines, which cut a con-
spicuous figure in the Ballinger- Pin
chOt controversy. The indictments
were handed down in the federal court
at Tacoma. Wash. In the English
group indictments were returned
against c. F. Munday, A H. Stracey,
Archie w. Shields and f. E. Siegley,
and in the second group against Cor
nelius Christopher, George Simonds
and Mortimer G. Sweeney.
In the first group the defendants
take the name from the fact that a
number of people in Western Canada
are supposed to be interested. Stracey
is a resident of Vancouver and is
charged with being instrumental in
making some locations Munday is a
prominent attorney of Seattle.
The charge is that the entries were
Il in af
Most of the entrymen are residents
of Washington and they are said to
have made an agreement that their
claims should be assigned or decided
to third parties. There is said to
have been a further understanding
that the locator should receive a
large per cent on the sale prices.
The charge differs from the charge
in the Cunningham claims, in which
there were no allegations that entry
men took claims for other persons
than themselves, but rather that they
had a previous agreement to work to
dispose of their claims as a unit. 1t is
said few claimants in the new cases
ever saw the land on which their
names were used for locations.
Both groups of claims figured in
connection with the Ballinger- Pin
chot inquiry. Charges of fraud in
connection with the entries were
made two years ago, and it is assert
ed that the investigation had been
stayed by the land office, supposedly
for sinister purposes. Meeting this
with the statement that the
services of the land office force were
needed elsewhere and that there is
no statute of limitations to run
against these cases it is conceded that
it is conceded that they were not
pressed for the period. Since last
May, however, Christensen has been
giving the major portion of his time
to them and another federal grand
jury sitting at Spokane is considering
other charges of fraudulent coal en-
tries in Alaska and results are ex-
pected from the investigations similar
to those obtained at Tacoma.

BROWNS ANSWER TO CHARGE
OF INFLATED SECURITIES.
Brandeis Will Try to Show That a
Raise of Rates Is Not Needed.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 14.-Presi-

Central lines was on the witness stand
Throughout the day in the investiga-
tion by the Interstate Commerce Com

is practically completed, although j.
G. Stewart, president of the

In discussing the capitalization of
the New York Central. Brown said:
"The New York Central stock, every
dollar Of ii, has been paid for at the
rate of s100 per share, except such
as was paid for at the rate of 1925 to
$3.50 per share, and the New York
Central cannot be reproduced today
for 5000 per cent of its capital stock

Louis D. Brandeis, for the shippers,
took up the cross examination and
ELECTED the information that ]. p.
Morgan is a member of the executive
board of the New York Central and
that the firm of ]. p Morgan & Co
is among the financial advisers of the
road.
Brandeis, in response to questions
by Chairman Knapp and other men,
bers of the commission, indicated his
purpose to show that II railroads
in eastern territory are managed with
the highest degree of efficiency, it
will be possible for them to earn divi-
dends and make the desired improve
ments without increasing the rates.
He said he would put men on the
stand who would explain how this
could be done.

hame White, the notable English avia-
tor, today dropped his aeroplane at
the side door of the White House.
after a flight Of six miles. On the
way he circled the dome of the capi-
tol and passed the lofty Washington
monument on a level with the apex.
He landed where the slightest devia-
ton from his course would have i'm
paled him upon the spikes Of an iron
fence at his right or smashed him
against the granite walls at the left.
Admiral Dewey was on the spot to
offer his congratulations. Other Of
ficials of the army and navy, includ-
ing Acting Secretary of War Oliver
and Major General Wood, added their
words Of cOmmendation. An hour
later White ascended from the spot
where he landed and returned to the
starting point at Bennings race track,
without a mishap.
Later in the day, while giving an
exhibition flight at Bennings, White
met with an accident. He had gone
up 200 feet, when the pipe between
the motor and the gasoline tank be-
came detached. The motor stopped,
and White was compelled to glide to
the ground. As he descended a breeze
caught the biplane and tilted it so
that the left bottom plane struck the
ground and the framework was bad
ly broken.
White was not injured, and an hour
later when starting an exhibition
flight in a Bleriot monoplane the
breeze caught it and swerved it into
a fence. 1t then dashed across the
race track and through the fence on
the other side, shooting off 200 yards
into a field. White was badly shaken
up.
