SHOWS SIGNS OF ACTIVITY
Arizona Volcano Has Been Extinc
for Aqes.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Sept. 27.-Seven
members of a construction gang ar
rived here with story of having been
driven away from their work near the
base of an extinct volcano in the Co
conino forest, forty-five miles north of
Flagstaff, by series of fifty-two vio-
lent earthquakes.
Last Friday night, when slight
quakes were felt here and in other
Northern Arizona towns, the shocks
were so violent and the rumblings
within the dead volcano so terrifying
that the men broke camp and left in a
panic.
C. McNichols, foreman of the gang
said the shocks began on the night OF
Saturday, Sept. 10. The first shocks
threw a lamp off camp box in Nc
Nichols tent and broke his bed.
There is some apprehension here
that the volcano, which apparently
has been extinct for ages, is about tC
become active again.

to Testimony Relating to the Leg.
isIatipe Jackpot"
Chicago, Sept 27.-State Represen-
tatiye Charles O. White of OFallon,
H., was the first witness to take the
stand in the investigation into the
election of United States Senator
William Lorimer by the senatorial
subcommittee on elections and priv
ileges.
Six of the seven members of the
committee were present when his ex
animation by Attorney Austrian, rep
resenting the Chicago Tribune, which
in writing Whites story several
months ago, brought on the investi
cation, began.
White, after giving his name and
address and saying he was duly
elected member of the Illinois legis
lature, identified letters he said had
been sent him by Lee O'Neil Browne
asking Whites help to establish
Brownies position as minority leader
in the lower house of the legislature
The witness then began to tell o.
his relations with Browne leading vi
| to his acceptance of an alleged bribt
of $1,000.
White, on direct examination by At

RETARDED BY
The RAILROADS
Official Opinion on Develop
ment Of Waterways.
In CONTROl. OF FRONTAGE

Commissioner Of Corporations Herbert
Knox Smith Says the Attitude of the
Rail Carriers Is the Greatest Single
Deterrent at the Present Time-Lack
of Cooperation of Localities With
Government Also Cited.
Washington, Sept. 27.-"Probably
the greatest single deterrent to water
terminal advance in the United States
is the present adverse attitude of rail
lines toward independent water traf-
fic, in their exclusive control of front
age, in refusal or neglect to coordinate
with general water traffic, and in re-
fusal to prorate generally with water
lines in through movement of traffic" F"
This is one of the conclusions of
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of
corporations. in his report to the presi-
dent on water transportation in the
United States After an exhaustive
inquiry into the harbor situation OF
the country and analysis of condi-
tions Commissioner Smith deals in
this section of the report with water
terminals and he finds five salient
facts regarding them
That the harhurs of the country
have mo- fully developed their termi-
nal frontage. nor are they properly
organize ar controlled.

terminals. often to the disadvantage
of general water traffic.
That there is almost no linking up
of the rail and general water systems
at the water edge but rather the op'
posite tendency.
Marked lack Of Cooperation.
That there is little cooperation by
localities with the federal government
which improves their channels.
Relating to railroad cooperation
Commissioners Smith says:
Until This underlying relation OF
rail to water systems is adjusted on
some common sense basis of harmony
there is little hope of great advance
in water terminal conditions"
Lack of cooperation between locall
ties and the federal government ir
water terminal developments, he says
Is in marked contrast to those Cont
mental countries whose waterways
have been most highly developed.
Summarizing the situation as Il
control of water terminals by rail
roads, the report says:
"A large amount of water termina
is everywhere controlled by railroads
while much of this control is undoubt
edly necessary and commercially ad
vantageous, it is to be remembere'
that at present the rail and waite
systems are often in vigorous compe
tition. The control by one system o
the terminals upon which rival sys
TEN is dependent is therefore OF ser
Gus importance"

and representatives WHO voted for
Lorimer voted for him as part of a
system in which their votes ~ other
Lorimer were correlated. We are try
ing to show there was a general state
of corruption in that legislature and
that men there were trying to bribe
Others"
The committee retired into execu.
tive session to consider admissibility
of this line of evidence.

The Cow.

The dairy COW, ii able t" eX
press herself in a way which the
human family would understand,
might well lay claim to being
mans best friend She might
establish such "A claim by calling
attention to the fact that from
her carcass man manufactures
more of the necessities Of life
than from any other similar
source. She furnishes these
necessities to him from infancy
until such Il time as temporal
things are no longer associated
with his existence, and she does
it ungrudgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
man necessity and his pleas
ure, the prosperity Of an agri-
cultural community is more
closely identified with her than
with any other of the domestic
animals. The horse is quite es.
sential in tilling the soil, but
where necessity requires it the
sturdy son Of the COW can take
his place, as he has done in every
agricultural section on earth.
The horse can only furnish labor
and can only return a pront 10
his owner when conditions are
right for returning satisfactory
grain crops. 1t is a well known
fact that the dairy COW Is the
salvation of the farmer in times
of poor crops as she is able TO
convert the rough crops which
are never total failure, into
dairy products which always
have cash value.
In addition To this she furnish.

the calves, pigs and poultry and
fertility for the soil, without
which the farm becomes less
each year and the whole
country less prosperous.

Several, prominent army officers from

Thursday and met DIR. Charles L. Reese,

Buckner, a high Official of the E. l. du-
Point de Nemours Powder Company.
They went to Chester and thence to Gibbs
town where they studied the manufacture
OF a high explosive which the War De
partment had adopted fer the use in sub
marine miners.
In the party aside from the Whining
ton officials of the powder company was
Brigadier General A.. Murray, chief OF
coast artillery; Major r. P. Davis and
Captain p. M. Kessler, coast artillery
crops.
The dupont company refused to give
out the name Of the explosive in question.
An official, however, said the explosive
was nothing new and that it had been
making it for the government for some
time. He said that the War Department
recently decided to adopt it for submarine
mines in place OF gun cotton, which did
not give the satisfaction desired.
