Runs and Gasoline Explosions.

ID. Hing, "A chauffeur who recently
came here from Oklahoma City, was
anxious to show the boys how he
could speed last night and he made
the night hideous for some time. The
muifler on his machine was not in
order and the gasoline exposition
sounded like bombardment of the
town and the machine strobe up and
down the streets at the rate of about
thirty miles an hour. Police mounted
and in buggies went after him. Finally
the capture was made on North Wash
ington and the young man was taken
to the police station and the joy ride
was ended. Judge Gait handed him a
lemon this morning in police court
that will do him for awhile. The
fine was just an even twenty dollars.
All attempt was made to beat the
case, then an appeal was asked for
and firally the mayor was appealed to
to set the fine aside but the friends
of the chaueffer were disappointed at
every turn they made. The fine stuck
and will be paid. The prisoner was
released on bond today.

MCGUIRE FRAMES
REGULAR DENIAL
SAYS HE HAS NO INTEREST IN
INDIAN NTRACTS-USES OLD
CRY OF "POLITlcAL MOVE"

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 29.-Congress-
man Bird MCGUIRE tonight issued a
statement here replying to the inter
view given out by Congressman Step
hens of the congressional investigat-
ing committee, at Decatur, Texas, yes
terday.
81 was brought into the matter for
political reasons, says Mcclure, just
as | was used in the last campaign
for political purposes, the suit being
dropped after the campaign.
THE trouble with Mr.. Stephens Is
that he is viewing the matter from
political standpoint instead of trying
to determine the facts He knows
that the majority was correct when
it said that there was no evidence to
warrant a charge or suggestion that
have or have ever had an interest in
any Indian contracts"
Mcclure further speaks of the mis-
cradle failure" of those who instituted
the charge to make them good, and
concludes by saying that the only diff
ference between him and Congress
man Stephens relative to Mcclure
amendment was that Mcclure trusts
President Taft and Stephens does
not.

and injuring about fifty,
The cause of the explosion is UNI

No one else at the plant who surviv4
ed the accident can give an explana-

three distinct explosions in quick sue

was terEfic. The big plant is in such
state of ruin as to be practically a
total loss. A mere egg shell of the
building is left Identification Of the
men was difficult because many OF
them were SO mutilated that even the
most itimate friends of the dead could
not recognize the features.
Heads were blown from several
bodies. Arms and legs were torn
from the trunks. Fragments Of bodies
were blown several squares from the
scene and bits of human flesh have
been picked up on porches and roofs
of houses and trees.
The body Of one man, unknown,
was blown through a house more
than seven hundred feet from the
plant. The body entered the house
from the east side and continued in a
straight line through a bed room and
out the other side of the house.

TRUSTS NOT A MENACE.
President HadIey Of Yale Says Con
binations Of Capital Not DANGEROUS.

rICSlGCHt EIdUlCy VI dlS Ody - NOHl-
binations of Capital Not Dangerous.
Berkeley, Cal. Large combina-
tions of capital are not in any true
sense the cause of our dangers and
difficulties today They are symptoms
rather than causes"
In these words President A. T. Had
ley of Yale summed up his address on
IAN Educated Democracy" at the
golden jubilee exercises of the Uni
versity of California.
1T is commonly said that concen-
trated wealth is fatal to democracy, :
he said. Large combinations of CAPT
tai, however, are indications that the
population has become so large and
society so complex that their needs
have outgrown the framework that
suficed for the older and simpler
conditions. Under these Circumstance
es it is absolutely necessary to sepa-
rate the problems of the people from
the problems of the experts. We must
educate the public up to the point
where it will be content to leave
some things to trained experts.
"The growth of invested capital,
the increased Importance Of transpor-
tation, the consolidation Of industry,
the incipient separation of classes in
American society, have produced a
set of conditions with which neither
the lawyers nor the people can deal
intelligently, because neither lawyers
nor people have the special prelimi-
nary education necessary for the UNI
derstanding of some OF the complex
problems connected with them.
"A public opinion Watchful and ac-
tive on all general questions Of ethics,
but ready to give a free hand to the
trained experts in all matters requir-
ing technical training as basis for
intelligent judgment-this is an edu-
Gated democracy; and this is the kind
OF democracy which will endure in
the face of great problems.

completely destroyed by fire, and 50
convicts were burned to death and
one was shot and killed while trying

A convict, in trying to escape from

that the remainder Of the convicts in
the stockade were prevented from es-
Gaping, as more than a hundred We're

All Of the convicts at Lucille mines

INDIANS ON WARpATH.
Pueblo Tribe in New Mexico Are Causing Au-
thonties Some Trouble

East LaVegas, N. M.-An uprising of
serious proportions has broken out
among the Taos Pueblo Indians. At
their village, 20 miles northwest OF
here, and troops are being hurried by
special train from Santa Fe to check
a possible massacre Of white ranch
ers. The Indians have cut all tele-
phone and telegraph wires from Taos.
but reports received here indicate that
the depredations have been confined
to an attack on the wife and chill
dren Of l.. L. Myers, a homesteader,
and the cutting Of fences and the theft
Of horses and cattle.
Further attacks are expected by the
ranchers, and Judge John R. Merle,
conducting court at Taos, issued an
urgent demand for troops to Governor
Mills. He declared massacre was
imminent.
The governor Immediately ordered
Companies D and F, New Mexico Ma
tional Guard, to Taos. General
Brooke, in command of the national
guard, has also ordered Company Ii
of Santa Fe to be in readiness to
1A1etA I'll or q uOllCC.
The uprising Of the Pueblos, who,
for Years, have been a peaceful PEG
pie, is believed to have been caused
by the punishment Of Pueblos by the
territorial authorities For years the
Pueblos have government themselves,
electing their own chiefs and village
councillors, who tried and punished
malefactors of the tribe, without ap-
peal to the territorial authorities.
Some months ago an Indian, Isleta
Pueblo, who had been imprisoned by
the village authorities, appealed to the
territorial courts, and the chief and
councillors Of the village were put in
jail. Since that time the Indians
have been unruly, and it is believed
the present outbreak is the result Of
fear by the Pueblos that they would
lose their independence.
