NOT THE BUSINESS
 OF THE {. \. R.
No Action Taken in the Lee Statue
 Controversy.

Atlantic City. N. J., Sept. 23.- After a warm debate of more than three hours, the national encampment Of the G. A. R. in the final session this afternoon indefinitely postponed action on the controversy over the placing of the statue of Robert E. Lee in statuary hall. The vote was small compared with the vote cast for the commander n-chief yester- day.
 The encampment rejected the prop osition recommending that congress be asked to grant each Union veteran a pension of s1 a day for life, but endorsed the McCumber bill, now pending in the senate, relating to widows pensions.
 The conservative element controlled the encampment and won the day in the matter of the statue. on the ar gument that the bitterness engendered in the civil war is disappearing and that sectional hatred should not be revived; that Virginia, under the act of congress of 1864. had a right to place in Statuary Hall the image of any man from that state whose mem- ory it chose to perpetuate.

BOARD 0F EDUCATION FINISHES HARD JOB
New Courses of Study Adopted for
 Arizona Schools.

The territorial board of education, after long and earnest deliberation. has finally decided upon and adopted new course of study for the Arizona schools. The matter is ready for the printer and it is expected will be placed in the hands of the teachers next week.
 The new course involves no change of text books but is rather designed as a manual for the guidance of the teachers, telling them what they shall teach, when, where and how. etc.
 Under the law the question of text books will come up again for decision next July. The board is required to give the matter attention then and it has the privilege of re-adopting the same text books or making any changes it may deem desirable.
 Looking toward that event the text book publishers are already getting busy with their correspondence and between now and next July there will probably be filed with the members of the board all manner of sample text books, circulars setting forth their merits, etc. Also the travelling rep resentatives of enterprising firms will doubtless call and add t0 the pleasures of the board by pressing their respect i've claims to recognition.

THE FIRST FLIGHT ACROSS THE ALPS THE PERUVIAN AVIATOR Ac-
 cOMPlISHED IT. But Chavez, Badly Hurt, Failed to
 Reach Milan, the Destination.

DOmodossola, Italy, Sept 23.-The great feat of crossing the snow capped Alpine barrier between Ewitz- erland and Italy, in a heavier than air machine, was accomplished today by Georges Chavez. the young Peruvian aviator
 The plucky hero of the exploit however. lies tonight in a hospital badly injured as a result or an acci- dent that occurred just as he com pleted the most arduous, nerve rack ing portion of his task Both legs were broken, his left thigh is frac- tured and his body badly confused But the physicians are of the opinion that his hurts will not prove fatal Fifty miles away, and over a coun- try that had none of the hazards of the Alps, lay Milan. the goal Chavez was seeking in an endeavor to win the prize of S2O.000 offered by the Italian aviation society for the flight Chavez lost the race.
 Henry Weyman, the American avi- atOr. who made two unsuccessful at tempts in the Brig Milan race today sent a telegram of sympathy. Al though Chavez did not succeed in winning the prize, having failed to reach Milan, some of the members of the aviation committee are in favor of turning over the purse to him and erecting a monument in commemora- ton of the first flight across the A lDS

FURTHER TESTIMONY
 OF MULCTNG Of |. [.
The Story of Clerk Who Raised the
 Bills.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-Testimony di- rectly charging F. H. Niles. president and William Farragher, secretary oi the Blue Island Car Equipment com pany, with padding and fraudulently changing car repairs bills made out to the Illinois Central railroad, was given this afternoon in the municipal court in the progress of the so-called car graft cases.
 Arthur Bayfield,, general clerk of the equipment company. was the wit ness who told of the alleged practices by which the railroad was mulcted out of over $1,00O00O.
 He said: Secretary Farragher took me into his private office and then he went into the office of President Niles. He left me in an outer office and every once in a while he would come out with few bills and direct me to make specific changes in them
 My instructions from him were that I was to make all the Illinois Central car repair bills average S27S each. Some were raised from less than S1O0 and a few from only few dollars

NEW ALASKAN CLAIMS
 LIKE CUNNINGHAM CASE
As Many Persons of High Rank Are
 Involved.

Seattle, Sept 23.-The Alaska land claims which will be under investi- gation by the federal grand jury at Spokane are similar to those of the famous Clarence Cunningham group, which caused the Ballinger charges. Cunningham went into the katalla district as a mining expert to in evstigate a reported oil discovery. He was disappointed about the oil, but found enormous fields of coal. Ob- taining powers of attorney from cap italists in Idaho, Seattle and else where, he located 160 acres for each as the law permits. ..
 The Cunningham group received great prominence because of an at tempt to hurry it to patent. and has overshadowed the other groups lOcat- ed by promoters. The list of claim ants in these other groups contains names as prominent in politics and business as those of the Cunningham group. Portland furnishes long list of claimants and many Californians of as high rank as the Alaska coal claimants.

 Francisco.

San Francisco, Sept. 23.-The body rapher. formerly a school teacher oi Paso Robles, California, was found tonight buried in a lot in the rear oi vacant house at 527 Eureka street The girl had been missing since April 20 From information which came to the police today, it is thought that she met her death shortly after that time in the office of Dr. James Grant 1293 Golden Gate avenue.
 Grant is in the city prison tonight and the police are looking for Will fam Sachs. his assistant Miss Mary Messersmith, a nurse employed by Grant is also held as detinue. Neither will make any statement
 During the five months the girl has been missing several attempts have been made to find her. On the day she left her boarding house the last time. a young man called several times on her and finally left a note for her The girl dropped out of sight completely, leaving all her be- loneings in the room. Two months ago a family named Craughton moved into the Eureka street house. They found an old trunk with red stains on it. The trunk smelled badly and the health department was notified. The city chemist examined the trunk and reported that the stains were paint.
 Shortly afterward the family moved away and nothing more was thought of the matter Two days ago Frank Gordon. Dr. Grants new assistant, in formed the police that a body was buried in the yard of the Eureka street house Detectives went there and after working until tonight dis covered the remains of Miss Swan wrapped in a sheet sprinkled with acid buried under a cement flooring near sewer. Dr. Grant and Miss Messersmith, who had been under surveillance since Gordon told his story, were at once arrested
 It was evident that the body was buried several months ago and that it had been transported in the trunk. The police have sent for a Paso Ro- bles ranchman who is supposed to have been friendly to Miss Swan and who is said to have been the same man who called for the girl the day she disappeared.

tains to the west held it's position against a much larger and red army under Col. Charles w.

 In order to give the national guard of New Mexico and Arizona as well as many regulars, an actual demon- stration of the part played in battles by the field artillery and the sweeping destruction of bursting shrapnel, Major E. A. Miller of the Fifth Field artillery, shortly after D. m. had twelve guns in three batteries to take three separate positions at the base of Tarantula hill a steep slope rising abruptly to a height of 1,200 feet in the southern part of the serervation.
 The guns were trained on Bonita ridge, a high range, two and half miles to the north where sharp flashes of smoke and flame issued from distance very closely simu- lated the fire of a hidden battery No other targets were visible and even the flashes could not be seen from the batteries which were commanded by A. U. Faulkner, Captain G. M Apple and Lieutenant J. A. Crane. It was a demonstration in direct fire

BY ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS
Platform Denunciation of Course Followed by the Minority Leader and His, Democratic Associates in the Legislature.

East St Louis, III. Sept. 23-Lee O'Neil Browne, recently acquitted of bribery in connection with the cleo ton of Senator Lorimer. was refused recognition today on the floor of the Illinois democratic state convention. As member of the resolutions com mittee he was told by Roger c. SulIi- van. national committeeman of the democratic party in Illinois, not to as- sert himself
 In reading the list of members of the resolutions committee, the secre- tary read the name "L. O. Browne
 delegate asked, Who is this L. O. Browne?"
 The question was ignored by the chair, and when the delegate insisted on reply, Browne arose and said, If the gentleman wishes information. l will give it to him.
 He was not allowed to reply, and Congressman Henry T. Rainey. the chairman, obtained order under diff culties.
 A second rebuff came to Browne just as the convention adjourned after the adoption of a platform. With the motion of adjournment pending, Browne stood with his friends in the center of the hall demanding recog- milton. He was ignored.
 After the convention he made his way to the chairman and explained that he wanted to say that he could not approve that part of the platform which referred to Senator LoriIner.
 The democratic party, according to it's platform, admitting that Lorimer was elected by the votes of some of it's party. does not assume that it has any political interest in Senator Lori mer and it does not consider him as representing the principles of the par ty. The election is deplored.
 The original draft condemned Bath room tactics" and jackpot legislation. These words were eliminated by the committee, according to the secretary. because they were objectionable.
 The revised plank reads: ''The demo- cratic party is unalterably opposed % giving or taking bribes by those seek ing legislative favOrs, and we condemn in unmeasured terms any person or persons, democratic or republican. who may have been guilty of any participa- ton therein, and we declare in this connection that we favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people"
 The platform came out squarely for home rule for critics and villages. X plank opposing the cumulative system of voting for legislators was elimi- mated.
 Congressman Champ Clark of Mis- souri was the principal speaker.

 HEARD CHAMP CLARK
His Rainbow Hued Prediction of
 Election Events.

St. Louis, Sept. 23.-Champ Clark the minority leader of the house of representatives addressed the demo cratic editorial association of Mis- souri tonight. He said: The cir cumstances which surround us pres age a democratic victory. The dem- ocrats in the house got together and fought together during the year 191O and thereby set a wholesome example to democrats throughout the land
 Tt is said if we carry the house we must shoulder responsibilities. Of course we must. We are admonished that if we will only let this election go by default and thereby leave our selves in a position of no responsi- bility. the republicans will continue to fight among themselves, which will enable us to win everything in 1912. If we are such fools and cow ards as not to be willing to assume

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER

New York, Sept. 23.-The rre-con- vention fight between the republican "Oid Guard" and the progressives was virtually closed today. After d day of conferences with politicians from vari- ous parts of the state. Colonel Roose- welt said that the chances for victory were even better than yesterday, when he predicted that the progressives would have a majority of at least 100 degeates in the Saratoga convention next week.
 Colonel Roosevelt spent some time today in going over the draft of the platform. The direct primary plank in particular was considered at length, but no one was willing to say how it should be shaped. The tariff and la bor blanks also received careful con sideration.
 Resolutions pledging support of Roosevelt in every step he may take in his effort to popularize party gov ernment, and to effect an equal oppor- tunity in business, through the di- vorcement of business and politics" was adopted today at meeting of the executive committee of the Republi- can league of New York.

WOODRUFF NOT HOPELESS.

Saratoga, Sept. 23.-Prepared for one of the bitterest struggles in the annals of republican politics. for the control of the state convention, the "Old Guard" moved on Saratoga to- night
 Timothy l.. Woodruff admits that the contest will be close, but he is still firm in the belief that the con vention will endorse the selection of Sherman by the state committee as temporary chairman.
 'It is true,' said Woodruff. that we have lost delegates from districts which we had reason to expect would endorse Sherman. but as an offset to these losses we have assurances from other quarters that delegates claimed by the progressives will be recorded in the Sherman column"

SIXTEEN WERE KILLED IN \ KANSAS WRECK WHEN ROCK ISLAND TRAIN RAN
 INTO WASHoUT. Engineer Might Have Escaped But
 Remained at His Post.

Denver. Sept. 24.-Sixteen persons lost their lives and thirteen others sustained severe injuries in a wreck, two miles east of Clayton, Kansas, early this morning on west bound Rock Island train No. 2.
 The wreck occurred at fill, thousand feet of which had been washed out by a cloudburst.
 The train was proceeding on a straight stretch of track. Evidently the first intimation the engineer had of the danger came when he realized that the forward portion of the train was running in water which had spread out over the track near the fill. Reversing the engine. the speed of the train was checked, but not enough to prevent the engine, the baggage car and the smoker going over into depression.
 The rear end of the smoker re- mained tilted on the earth bank and the chair car ripped into the smoker, smashing it to pieces and killing or injuring the passengers.
 As nearly as can be learned tonight, all the passengers killed were occu- pants of the smoker. It is certain that Engineer Beckenlugh could have jumped and saved himself, but he re- mained at his post and did every thing possible to prevent the train from running into the ditch. The dead and injured were taken to Nor ton, Kas. None of the injured are seriously hurt.
 The washout was repaired late this evening and traffic was resumed.
