TWO MEN STAND OFF
 POLICE AND SOLDIERS
London DesperadOeS Burn With Building After Battle.

Lying in the morgue of the London hospital in the east end, only couple of hundred yards from the scene of their death, are the charred bodies of two men who for more than ten hours held at bay hundred picked guards men and 1,500 London police and then perished uncaptured.
 After the night when five unarmed policemen tackled band of despera- does who escaped after killing three of their assailants, three arrests were made of men who the police were con- fident were members of the murdering gang. Two others and a woman re- mained.
 The police believed they had tracked these down in a four story tenement house in Stepney. The other tenants of the suspected dwelling and the adjoin. ing houses were quietly withdrawn. The woman accomplice of the suspect ed men was arrested by a ruse. Armed detectives then took possession of the adjoining houses, while armed police surrounded the house. Every loophole of escape to the neighboring streets was cut off. Then in the dark of early morning, when it was hoped their prey would be asleep, party of armed pc lice approached the house.
 The suspected men were alert, and a fusillAde of bullets poured through a window. The detectives retreated and more police were summoned.
 The besieged kept up desultory firing, which the police returned inef- fectively. Then Sergeant Lesson head ed an attempt to rush the house from the back. He fell at once, severely wounded in the chest.
 In less than half an hour a hundred Scots guards, quartered in the tower of London, and with them Maxim gun, swung into the action to aid 1,5C0 men in their attack on the fortress held by two. Every guardsman was a picked marksman.
 The soldiers rapidly took up their positions. Some opened fire from win dows of an opposite fortress. Others lay at full length in the street.
 A few hours later smoke began to creep out of the windows of the tene- ment. The besieged had preferred death to surrender. The smoke grew denser, and flames appeared. The fire the besieged men had created was left to accomplish what the soldiers and police had failed to do. The soldiers continued to pour a rapid fire into the blazing house, but now there was no reply. ---->- , 85
 Then a ire engine hurried up, and detectives with revolvers pointed sprang to the front door, which was still standing. They smashed it in, but the heat was too great for them to enter. Water was applied, and when the fire and heat were subdued two charred bodies at last rewarded the day long efforts of the police and sol GiierS

Confirmed Proof
Residents of Canaan Cannot Doubt
 What Has Been Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs-from dis. dressing kidney ills-thousands have publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of this vicinity who so testified years ago, now say their cures were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Deans Kidney Pills to Canaan kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Paul Chapin, .:.236 N. Elm St., Torrington, Conn.,, says: My kidneys were very weak and every cold con. tracted settled in them. My back aohed almost constantly and could scarcely stoop without having sharp twinges through my lolns. Seeing Deans Kid ney Pills advertised, I procured a box and through their use I was cured. l publicly recommended this remedy at that time and am now pleased to confirm all then said about it."

we sincerely believe in the future of the aeroplane," Orvtlle Wright said on hearing of the death of Moisant and Hoxsey, "and believe that the fatali- ties which have marked the past year will tend toward impressing the bird men of the necessity of caution rather than to destroy the progress of the science. Hoxsey's fall was not sus- tained through fault of imperfect mechanism, and but few of the acci- dents recorded have been caused through mechanical imperfection of the aeroplane. Extreme caution on the part of the aviators, which is some thing we have always urged, would certainly cause a decrease in the num- Der of accidents"

FROM CANADA TO THE GULF
Report that Erb and Hawley Interests
Are About to Be Merged.
DETAILS ARE TO BE WORKED OUT
Minneapolis & ST. Louis Road to
Absorb the Iowa Central, thus
Gaining an outlet to the
Southern Country.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA new through
route from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,
which is expected to rearrange the railroad
map of the west in important partic liars
is provided for in plans made known to-
day by Newton Erb, who, with Edwin
Hawley, is actively engaged in the under
taking. The first step in the project is to
be the leasing Of the Iowa Central railroad
to the Minneapolis & st. Louis. The direct
ors of the Iowa Central authorized the
president of the road to appoint a COM
mittee to confer with a similar committee
representing the Minneapolis & st. Louis
and arrange the terms of the lease.
Arrangements also have been made to
extend the Iowa Central to St. Louis and
| the Minneapolis & ST. Louis to the Cana
dian border, thus giving the Hawley-E rb
group Of railroads the through route from
the wheat fields Of northwestern Canada
to Galveston. 1t is expected that both the
Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk
will connect with the new extension Of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis. The new
route also will afford an entrance to Min
neapols and st. Paul for the Canadian
Northern.
The Iowa Central and Minneapolis & st.
| Paul for more than a decade have been
| under virtually the same management,
through ownership OF the Iowa Central
common stock by the interests in control of
Minneapolis & St. Paul. The leasing of
the Iowa Central probably will lead to a
merger Of the two roads, Mr.. Erb said. The
laws of Illinois, under which the Iowa
Central Is Incorporated, he explained,
would permit absorption of a leased line,
although the merger could not be legal
before the lease is made.
