loaded properly for the purpose in mind. would cost the government it was estimated at the war department. $10,000 Admitting the possibility of effectiveness. 1t was considered that probably ten rounds would be re- quired. This would run the cost up to a figure that the authorities did not feel justified in mourning without specific authorization from higher au- thority. particularly in view of the amount already spent in putting thir- ty-two- companies Of troops into the forest to fight the fires.
 Comparatively Negligible Disturbance
 Besides the element of cost, it was said at the war department that the army was not equipped with projec- tiles with time fuses for the guns just enumerated, and hence the only atmO- spheric disturbance created would ba by the formation of gases on tha ground at the time of the discharge of the guns and by the passage of the projectiles through the air. The disturbance caused by the flight of the projeetiles, it was said, would be com paratiVely negligible for creating a vi- olent commotion of the air currents.
 To fire the biggest guns in the coast artillery costs about s250 each. it has been estimated. TO fire the 12-inch mortars costs about $6O or $7o each.

In Effort to Bring on Rain in Forest Fire
 District of the Northwest
COST WOULD BE ABOUT $1OO,OOO
Army Officials Believe that in Addition Objection of the Cost the Effort Would Prove Futile-The Experiment Would Have Been One of the Most Spectacular Ever Attempted

Washington, Aug. 26.-Estimating the cost of the experiment at about slOO,OOO, the war department officials today declined requests to order a bombardment of the skies by all its guns on Puget sound and a the mouth of the Columbia river in an effort to bring on rain in the burning forest dis trict in the northwest. In addition to the objection of cost. the army officials regarded the proposal as certain to prove futile. The navy department, to which a similar request was made, expressed it's willingness to cooper ate with the army with six or ten guns, the only ones at it's disposal.
 Magnitude of the Experiment.
 The experiment would have been one of the most spectacular ever at tempted in the United States. Around Puget sound, at Forts Worden, Casey and E'lagler. the army has forty 12- inch mortars; six 12-inch rifles: eigh- teen 10-inch guns and twenty 6-inch guns, besides a large number of guns of smaller calibre. At the mouth of the olCumbia, in Forts Columbia and Stevens. are eight 12-inch mortars, eight 1O-inch guns. three S-inch guns. and eleven 6-inch, in addition to the smaller ones.
 One Round Would Cost S1o,ooo.

 Rawn's Name Brought In.
 Despite objections by attorneys for the defense the names of Ira G. Rawn formerly vice president of the Illinois Central and later president of the Monon route, who met death recently by a bullet wound; J. NJ. Baker and William Renshaw, formerly superin tendents of machinery for the Illinois Central were brought into the case in the testimony of Theophiie Reuther. once general manager of the Oster- man Car company but now a locomo- tive engineer for the Illinois Central railroad.
 His testimony. Judge Bruggemeyer asserted, might be stricken out later, if not proved material.
 Engineer Reuther's Testimony.
 Reuther testified as to the organiza- a Chicago concern, to which Illinois Central cars were sent for repairs. He declared he was busted from his posi- tion as general manager and director so that Taylor, one of the defendants might be made director.
 Reuther testified that Osterman told him of presenting Taylor with 2,o00 shares of the Osterman company stock, block to Rawn, at that time vice presi- dent of the road, Hartman, Baker and RenShaw.
 Reuther testifying further said:
 One day I was walking through the yards with OSterman when we came upon huge pile of lumber
 He said that the lumber was worth at least $15,0O0 and said he would get the money to pay for it. A while later we came upon many tiers of brass journals and other brass car parts. He said: There's some easy money
 'I said he had better look out for that easy money business or that he would get into trouble. Osterman re- piled: Oh, Taylor will take care of that"

Famous GYPSY vioIini.t.

Louis Munczy. the most famous of Hungarian gypsy vioiinists, who died at the age of 63 years, had traveled over the greater part of the world with his band which he conducted, while playing the first violin himself, and had appeared before most Er-o- pean monarchs. He was a particular favorite of the late Empress Elizabeth, who frequently summoned him to play before her His career was an inter esting one. as an attempt was made in his youth by a wealthy patron to make an orthodox vioIinist of him by send ing him to study at the Vienna Con servatoriun. Despite this training. however, the traditions of his race were too strong. for, like other gypsy musicians, he was never able to play classical music correctly, but always modified the score while playing so as to make it suit the gypsy style. Munc- zy made great deal of money some Of it by the proceeds of the sale of jewels which Hungarian Iadies used sometimes to tear off their pecks and hands and throw at his fees when they were carried away by his playing. He is said to have left property valued at S400 000

Brought On by Constant Strain of Car
 Platform Talks.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2S.-A slight hoarseness developing, Theodore Roose- welt at the close of the second day of his tour was prevailed on by friends to shorten his speeches. He does not ex- pect any difficulty in making all of his speeches but the constant strain of car platform talks has caused slight sen sitiveness in his throat. He probably will have some rest during the trip to Cheyenne, where he is due tomorrow.
 Representative Walter l. Smith, a staunch friend of Speaker Cannon and one of the strongest men in the "old guard" in congress, was Colonel Roose- veIts escort when he reached Council Bluffs today
 Representative Smith introduced Colonel Roosevelt as the most distfn- gIished American to the crowd which had gathered in the park The colonel had hardly begun to speak when some one called out:
 How about New York? ?"
 Well, there is the New York issue" the colonel said. Tt is perfectly plain that I stand primarily for political cleanliness and decency and for popu lar rule Sometimes I do not agree with all the people. l try my best to represent them as far as I can. I will do anything for them except that which is wrong. and that I will not do for any man.
