FRIENDS HAVE SIMILAR
ACCIDENT MILES APART
Two Partners Have Their Arms
Crushed by Ore Buckets at
the Same Time

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1.-Two
miners, close friends, are lying serious
ly injured several hundred miles apart
with almost identical injuries and
which were received at almost the same
moment and in nearly the same man
ner
The two accidents occurred Friday
afternoon, one at the Shoshone mine
in the Fourth of July mountains, where
Gustave Morrison, while descending
the main shaft was caught between
the ore bucket as it upset and the skid
way. His right arm was terribly
mang4ed, the flesh being torn to shreds
and the bones broken. His friend, C.
f. Buys, at the same time attempted
to jump from a water bucket in his
train at the yellow Aster The bucket
collided with a pile of timber and his
arm was crushed and mangled be-
tween the bucket and the engine.
The two men parted four months

PARTIES ARE READY FOB
NAMES BALLOT BATTLE
Democrats Sure That Mayor
PIaisted of Augusta Will Be
Elected Governor

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE
night before the battle of ballots in
Names biennial election finds both
Republicans and Democrats confident
of the verdict and satisfied that the
100000 voters understand the issues.
The Republicans believe there is suf-
ficient party loyalty to seat Governor
Fernald for a second term as well as
to elect their party candidates in the
four congressional districts, and that
there will be no change in the COM
plexion of the legislature which will
select a successor of United States
Senator Hale.
The Democrats declare that while
there are no national issues at stake,
the Republican administration has
been so extravagant that Mayor Fred
erick w. Plaisted of Augusta will be
placed in the seat once occupied by
his father, Harris NJ. Plaisted, the fu-
sion governor of 1881

WARNS POLICE Of
NEW BOMB PLOT
Another Attempt to Be Made on
Hall of Records, Says
Message

Lieutenant Sebastian, in command at
central police station, last night re-
ceiVed a telephone message from a
man who refused to give his name, to
the effect that plans had been per-
fected to blow up the new hall of rec
ords building in North Broadway at
| o'clock this morning. The myste-
rious person spoke in firm and even
tones, urging the officer to take pre-
cautions to prevent the destruction of
the building.
The message was received at police
headquartel at S:45 o'clock last night.
The conversation was over the lines of
the Home Telephone company Lieu
tenant Sebastian made every effort to
learn the identity of the speaker and
prolonged the conversation for five
minutes After findir~ that the man
would not give his name the officer
held him on the phone under the pre-
text of having to answer another mes
sage and instructed the police opera
tor to trace the telephone number.
Owing to the fact that the warning
was given over an automatic telephone
the police operator was unable to
trace the number, as was the person
in charge at the central office of the
telephone company.
Lieutenant Sebastian is positive that
the man with whom he was speaking
last night Is not the same person who
gave q similar warning several nights
ago, when two sticks of dynamite with
fuses attached were found beneath
a girder in the uncompleted hall of rec
ords building.
"There is a plot to blow up the hall
of records building with a bomb at 1
o'clock or later in the morning" said
the man.
"Who are your" answered Sebastian,
land what leads you to believe that
the building will be blown upP"
'I will not tell you who I am" was
the reply, "but I know what I am
talking about. I am absolutely posi-
tive that the men will attempt to carry
out their plan and I want to prevent
it if possible"
Sebastian then requested the speaker
to hold the wire for a moment, giving
as an excuse that he wanted to answer
the other telephone The officer then
attempted to trace the telephone which
the speaker was using.
The conversation then was resumed
and the speaker repeated his story. He
spoke in a positive and convincing
manner and mentioned that fore
warned is forearmed."
While the police are inclined to re-
gard the matter as a hoax, the utmost
precautions were taken last night to
frustrate any attempt to wreck the
building.
Other buildings in the course OF con-
struction in the downtown district also
were guarded closely last night, a num-
ber of patrolmen being detailed to as
sist the double force of private watch
men that are kept on duty.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1.-THE
trial of j. A. Magill, who is being
prosecuted by the Mexican government
for a serious offense alleged to have
been committed at Cotton while he was

May CHECK POPULATION
Commercial Club Would Have Citizens
Counted Again.

There is some talk in Commercial club
circles of hiring a squad of men to go
out and take the census of Topeka in
order to get a check on the work which
the government enumerators have done.
1t is felt that it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the capital city that every
man. woman and. child within its con-
fines be included in the tabulation which
goes out through the press over the coun-
try.
J. Willis Gleed suggested that the Com
mercial club take an enumeration of the
people which would be entirely separate
from the government enumeration in or
der to ascertain how they would compare.
His idea is to employ any $50 Washburn
students and let them complete the job
within "a hours. AS there would be no
questions asked except those regarding
the number of persons in each family
the work could be quickly accomplished.
plished.
While the suggestion has taken no defi-
mite form it is gaining in favor. and it is
likely that some action will be taken by
the Commercial organization one way or
the other.
This noon meeting of the house COM
mittee of the Commercial club was held
to look into the matter of securing addi-
tion rooms for pool and billiard tables and
to discuss the matter of fitting up such
quarters. No action was taken

TAFT TELLS WHY.
Gives the House His Reasons for OPP
posing Congressional investigations.

washington. May 9.-President Taft
sent a special message to the house OF
representatives today to tell why he
considers a congressional investigation
of the sugar frauds IN the customs
service inexpedient.
1T is he said, because congress
sional investigation at this time would
EN- barraSs the executive department in
the continuance and completion of the
investigation of the appraisers and
other officers of the customs services"
The presidents reply was to a reso-
luton passed in the house en- April IA,
calling on him to state his reasons for
not wishing congressional investiga-
ton as he had minated in his mes
sage at the opening of the session.
The president did not lose an OPP
portunity to tell the house when a
congressional investigation was neces-
sary.
1.-THE necessity for congressional in
Vestigation arises, first, when an exec
utive investigation is either not in good
faith or is lacking in vigor, or when
additional legislation is needed to pre-
vent a recurrence of the frauds,
1.-The primary duty with respect to
frauds in the executive service falls on
the executive to direct proper execu-
tive investigation and on the discov-
cry of fraud and crime to direct judi
cial investigation to recover what is
due to the government and to bring
to justice the guilty persons.
"The report of the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general show
beyond question the utmost viger and
effectiveness in the investigation and
prosecution up to this time and the
achieving of exceptional results in the
recovery of moneys of which the gov.
eminent had been defrauded, the in
dictment of participants in the frauds
and in the reformation of the customs
service with {. view to the prevention
of such frauds in the future
With his message the president sent
a joint report of the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general,

The danger of granting immunity to
any offenders through congressional
investigation, the president pointed
out. was still very grave. He referred

jury investigating the sugar company'S
alleged connection with a combination
violating the Sherman antitrust act
and pleaded immunity.
While the supreme court refused to
pass on the question, claiming it did
not properly come before it. the presi-
dent indicates that the point is left to
be raised in the event of a conviction
of Heike.
J. If congress were to investigate the
weighers and appraisers Office It would
have to go about getting such expert
evidence as is now being gathered, the
president said, and which will be sent

amount entirel-- too small to repay the
effort and the new one asks for 81, 900
The dog. alleged to belong to A. C..
Whittelsey, bit the plaintiff October l s..
1909. The damages suit was instituted
in December when the doctor bill had
reached but $50 and the condition of
the woman was thought not to be dan
gerOus.
Her condition, however, did become
very dangerous. it is alleged, and be
side DIR. Menninger, the original doctor
in the case, DR.. w. S. Lindsay was en-
ployed The woman's entire system
became so infected with the poison of
the bite that it was necessary after
four cauteriZatiOns to remove her to
Christ's hospital where she is still con-
fined to a bed. She sat in the court
room during the trial bolstered up with
pillows. On the stand she told of con-
tinual pains and much suffering.
Since the slight damage at first has
grown to such proportions. the lawyers
think they should recover a larger
amount. The defense in the suit as
brought had also brought out evidence
that the dog alleged to have bitten the
woman has double running about the
same precinct. In order to catch the
