A BAD WRECK
No Effort Made Today to
Patch Up the Taft
Measure

RETURN OF PRESIDENT
BY United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. May 5-Just TO give
the President chance to see what a
complete wreck looks like. the Senate
regulars refrained from any effort to
patch up the railroad bill to-day They
desire him to see the bruised, banged
and battered favorite of the ad-
ministration at its worst In the hope
that he will be moved to use the big
stick IN the fight TO get something
through Congress.
IL was announced that the program
for to-day's session would call for a
couple Of long speeches that would
leave little or no time FOR the consider
alton OF the bill. That would leave the
measure in the air until the President
arrived tomorrow and give him an OPP
opportunity TO suggest plans for dispos
ing OF the wreck.
In their hopeless state the leaders
at both ends of the capitol feel that
they can accomplish nothing unless
the President viii consent 20 take an
active part in the contest.

BANK SHORTAGE IS
.S6O0,O00
Alarm Out for Cashier, but
it is Said Institution
Knows Where He Is.

New York, Julyy 27.-A general
alarm has been sent out for trace
of Erwin Wider, the missing cashier
of the Russo-Chinese bank.
When the Russo-Chinese bank
first made public that it's strong boz
was short, the amount was given as
$4,000, all in negotiable bonds, a
list of which was furnished. Yester-
day the amount suddenly jumped
to 100000, of which the additional
$4,000 is said to be in stocks part
ly owned by the bank and partly by
its cOstumers.
No positive statement has been
made yet as to where these stock GER
tificates now are, or with what intent
they were stolen. Inspector E. E.
Markowski now in charge of the New
York branch of the bank in the abb
sence on vacation of Manager Gertz,
says he is convinced that Wider had
an outside accomplish.
when Wider entered our en-
ploy," explained Inspector Markow-
ski, che was a modest, exemplary
clerk. Within the past year l feel
sure that some man of strong person.
atty has gained control of him and
changed his whole personality. I
am satisfied that Wider did not steal
of his own volition or on his own
initiative"
1t is perhaps with a hope of lay
ing hands upon the power who shap-
ed the cashier to his own ends that
the bank has dealt so delicately with
Wider. His counsel and neighbor. L.
R. Kinsberg, has said from the first
that the bank was in touch with
Wider.

CANNON To BORE
STEEL As WOOD
General Grant Tells of Long
Labor to Make Gun for
Terrible Explosive.

New York, July 28.-Within the
next few months the world should
not be startled if the United States
government gives out official word
that a cannon has been perfected
that shoots so powerfully and so far
that the heavy armament of other
countries will look like mere pop
guns.
General Frederick D. Grant, who
has just arrived in New York to as
sumo command of the Department
Of the East, says such gun has been
perfected and is now undergoing
final trials at Governors Island.
The United States, General Grant
says, has had an explosive under COW
er for a number of years.. which, if
fired from a strong enough gun to
withstand the tremendous pressure,
would do the damage now done by
a dozen ordinary 12-inch guns. This
gun, he says, has at last been per-
fected
Beyond doubt it is the most won
derful gun in the world and the ex-
plosive is the most powerful" said
General Grant.

SHEEP AND CATTLE.
MEN FIGHT
Herders Who Gross Dead
line Have Bands
Dispersed.

Helena, Mont, July 28.-War be-
tween the cattle and sheepmen in the
northern part of this county has
broken out again. AS usual the fight
is over the range.
Information received here today
states that four sheepherders in
charge of the Stowe bands crossed the
headline" separating the sheep and
cattle range yesterday.
The herders were captured by a
gang of cattlemen who disarmed the
sheepmen, shot down number of the
sheep, scattered the bands, and
chased the herders over the dead
line" at the point of revolvers.
1t is reported that the cattlemen
have posted last warning to sheep
men to keep on their side of the i'm
aginary line separating the sheep and
cattle ranges. Should sheepmen tres
pass a pitched battle in which men
not sheep, will be the target, is pre-
dicted.
On account of the rapid settlement
Of the country available range lands
have become comparatively scarce in
this district. To equalize matters the
sheepmen and cattlemen agreed upon
certain division of the grazing lands
for their respective bands. This was
done because cattle will not Craze on
lands on which sheep have fed over
In consequence cattlemen are exceed
ingly bitter toward sheepmen who
allow their sheep bands to stray over
the so-called deailine.

NOTHING S0RDID ABOUT HIM
Poet Was Looking for Appreciation
Of the Ages That Stretched into
= the Future.

The editor looked at the poetry
and then he. turned back to the poet.
For a,moment his customary as
surance failed him. The poet was SO
thin and seedy and hollow eyed.
- See here, my friend" he said In
as gentle voice as he could assume
on short notice, Il don't want to dis
courage you, but while your stuff
here is fairly good-and perhaps a
little better-tt is a standing rule Of
this paper never to, buy poetry"
The poet drew himself up with a
sudden snort.
Why, suffering Dante he cried,
you didn't suppose from my appear,
ance that I was out for the filthy
simoleons, did you? Why, bless your
journalistic soul, all I'm working for
is a plain niche in the Hall Of
Fame"
