Muskogee Street Car Patrons Now
Want Separate Compartments to
Make Enforcement Easier.

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 23.-Muskogee

He was only fairly we'll dressed

had fine feather suit case of which
he was very careful. He came In

ing for business--but how he did

posed SO pints of dark amber fluid,

Coffee? Maybe-but probably not.
The owner seemed suspicious and
did not see any opening to do bust

carefully put his suit case with the
So pints aboard the plug and started
for Chapman. If the officers there

EARTH SPLITS AGAIN IN KANSAS
old Volcano In Harper County Sup
posed to be Still at
Work.

Topeka, Aug. 21.-The old volcano
that once sputtered and fumed in
Harper county seems to be working
again. Cracks two feet wide and Of
an unknown depth have just opened
in the earth to the north and east of
the old volcano. The cracks appeared
on two farms in southeast Reno coun-
ty. On the farm of ]. NJ. Jordan,
and on the farm Of Edward White the
earth simply parted, leaving the big
cracks running for long distances
across the fields.
The cracks appear with a loud
rumbling noise, similar to thunder.
No one has ever seen the actual
cracking, but many have seen the
dust that arises and many have heard
the noises accompanying the crack
ing.
All Of the southern part of Harper
county is Of volcanic formation and
the lava dust is being dug out by q
company and used in making a tooth
paste. Many people believe that 1t
Is the pressure from the old fires Of
this long extinct volcano that is caus-
ing the rumbling and the big cracks in
the surface Of the earth In that sec
ton. All Of the cracking has appeared
within 80 or 30 miles Of the old vol
cano. There are some who believe
that pressure from natural gas causes
the explosions.

Chicago, Aug. 2z.-When the nine
days international aviation meet
closed the management estimated that
three million people witnessed the
flights. The executive committee has
not figured exactly how much the gate
receipts ran behind expenses, but a
rough estimate placed the total re-
eeipts at $4,000. The expenses are
estimated at $4,000. which means that
the meet has not come within $4,000
Of paying expenses Every minute Of
the flying time. from one to fifteen
aviators had been In the air. The du-
ration figures showed that the sky
pilots had been in the air an aggre-

sisted.

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 23.-W
r. Skinner of Dallas, Tex, and his
wife were frozen to death near the
summit OF Pixies Peak. Their bodies
almost covered with snow, were found
side by side by boy walking down
the peak.
Skinner and his wife started to
walk to the top Of the peak early in
the afternoon and stopped at the
Office of the Pixies Peak News, about
three miles above the halfway house,
to register. At that time Skinner.
who was about IS years old, doubted
their ability to reach the top Of the
mountain. Mrs. Skinner, who was
about ten years younger than her
husband. is reported to have made
the remark:
I'm from Texas, and they're not
going to say when / get back that l
could not climb Pixies Peak"
The couple was last seen about 4
o'clock by the crew of the downward
bound cog road train. At that time
Skinner repeated his doubts to some
of the passengers, but Mrs. Skinner
again insisted on trying to reach the
summit.
At Z o'clock a severe snowstorm,
which covered the entire peak to a
depth of foot on the level, &C
companied by a 5O-mile-an-hour wind
broke on the peak. From the posi-
lions Of the bodies when found, 1t Is
believed the couple sought shei4et
In the'lee Of a huge bo%lder, a short
distance from the track.
Mr.. Skinner was found lying on his
back with his hands folded on his
chest; his wife was in a sitting
posture with her head clasped in her
hands and bowed on her knees.
Skinner was clad In seersucker
coat, summer weight trousers, light
underwear and low shoes. He wore
no vest. His wife wore thin shirt
waist, a small shawl, light skirt
and thin underwear 1t Is understood
that both were printers, employed ON
q Dallas newspaper.

DOUBLE-CROSSED THE JOINIS1S
STUeHs-DAWSoN ROW HELPED
TO GET EVIDENCE.
Liquor Men In Cherokee County Were
Fooled by Apparent Clash Of
Authority.

Topeka, Aug. 21.-The letter writing
controversy between Gov. Stubs and
John s. Dawson, attorney general,
regarding the enforcement Of the
prohibitory law in southeast Kansas
made 1t possible for the state to win
every move in the fight In Cherokee
county thus far made. The apparent
row between the two state officials
threw the liquor interests of their
guard and they fell.
That publicity made 1t possible for
the state to gather evidence Of
bribery and attempted bribery on the
part Of the liquor interests. When
the attorney general wrote to the
governor that the chief executive was
not helping in law enforcement by
discharging H. C. Ericsson and T. B.
Armstrong, the two secret service
men who had gathered the evidence
on which 10 prosecutions were made
in Crawford county and 70 cases--in
Cherokee county, the liquor men saw
their chance. They went to the two
detectives, told them the state had
given them a raw deal and they were
no longer bound to deliver the evil
dence they had collected in these
cases. The plan was to send the men
out Of the state and keep them out
on the payment Of 500 in each case.
All this came about through the
repartee between the governor and
attorney general, as the liquor men
would not have attempted the bribery
plan If they knew that the two de-
tectives were still state employees.

GOOD ROADS AND FACTORIES
ARE PRIDE OF THE EAST.
J. B. Case Teals of Motor Trip to
the Coast.


kansas is 30 years behind the
east in good roads," said j. B. Case
speaking Of his motor trip from
Cleveland to New England and back.
There are hundreds of miles of
country roads in New York and New
England as smooth as the Abilene
pavements. They are made with
rock base, macadam and asphalt and
are simply perfect. And cars-l did
not know there were SO many in
the world. 1t was like meeting a
procession all the time. Tourists
from everywhere are riding across
country seeing the rights and en-
toying the open air. At the towns
the garages are filled every night.
Sometimes 1t Is impossible to get In
cud cars stand out on the streets.
Cut-outs are not allowed and cars
must not smoke. Speed laws are
liberal but they are enforced strict
" and the motorist who does not
obey them gets pinched.
Business seems good in the east.
The automobile factories are adding
more stories and more buildings and
look for the largest business of mo-
tor car history in 1912. Other fac
tories are also busy and generally
the businessmen seem satisfied. They
are advertising for western farmers
to take hold of some of their run
down farms and some are doing 1t.
Alfalfa is seen everywhere and is
becoming a great crop through ths
eat. 1t is prosperous looking
country all through New York and
New England.
Every little town seems to have
a factory for making something. OF
course the cities are little else but
big manufacturing towns. In De-
troit alone are sixty automobile fac
tories. The thousands of employees
of these factories buy western pro-
ducts and 1t is easy to see that when
they are all employed times are GER
tain to be good with us. 1t is very

Every car has pump to pump

'erring to escape the crowded city

aiken on the east side. The tour
through the White Mountains, the

eatures OF the trip.
