BREAK PREDICTED
IN EXTREME HEAT
Weather Man Predicts Showers For
Eastern okIahoma-Heat Exacts
Terrible Toll of Lives.

After three days of broiling tenn
peratures the weather man comes out
with the joyous news that there will
be showers tonight and that the
weather will be cooler Friday. While
this forecast is as straw to drown
ing man, it brought hope to sweltering
humanity.
AS far as the official thermometer
is concerned yesterday was but a re-
petition of Tuesday. On each day the
maximum temperature was 103. Today
there is decided slump in the reg
istrations of the mercury.
The hot wave of the past five days
has been country wide, and the ex-
vessive heat has exacted terrible
toll of human lives.
The loss OF more than five hundred
lives is to be credited to the great
heat wave of July to 5, 1911, which
official weather advices say will abate
somewhat today. The torrid period
will be memorable in weather annals
for its wide extent, its long duration,
its record d-breaking temperatures in
many places, and the long list of ia
talities which it has caused.
The hundreds of news dispatches
which cites from the north Atlantic
seaboard west to the plains states
have exchanged in the last four days,
account, according to careful review
last night, for the deaths of 4S1 per-
sons from the heat and 80 from drown
ing-a total of 511.

WOULD PASS BILL
WITHOUT CHANGE
Ohio Senator Urges Passage of Can
adian Agreement as it Stands
Without Amendment.

Washington, d. c., July 6. - The
right of President Taft to negotiate
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
to send it in completed form to con-
gress for enactment and to defend and
advocate it in stump speeches"
throughout the country was asserted
in the senate Wednesday by Senator
Burton of Ohio at the conclusion of a
speech in support and explanation of
the measure.
The senate agreed at the conclusion
of yesterdays session to sit daily at
IL o'clock, and it is expected the ses-
sions will continue until 6 o'clock.
Chairman Penrose of the finance COM
mittee advocated daily sessions at 10
O'Clock, but the democrats who favor
the reciprocity bill feared this would
be taken as a move to force hasty
action.
The opponents of the measure will
endeavor to force its advocates to take
the floor in the longer days of debate
that are to follow. Thus far the
speeches of Senator Root and Sena-
tor Burton have been the main argu-
ments in favor of the measure.
! Senator Burton's speech followed
criticism by Senator Cummins of Iowa
republican insurgent, early in the day,
of the speech made by President Taft
yesterday at Indianapolis. Senator
Cummins said he believed it was bet
ter for the president to try to mould
public opinion by appealing to the
people in speeches than for him to
use the power of the presidents office
to pass the bill through congress, but
he criticised vigorously the Indian
apolis speech in which the president
said the Canadian agreement would
probably not reduce the cost of living.
| Senator Burton urged the agree.
ment, notwithstanding the power of
congress to change it, be passed with
out amendment. He said it undoubt-
edly did not please everybody; that
probably it had satisfied neither Pres
ident Taft nor the Canadian commits
sion when it was complied.
Mr.. Burton emphasized that those
who based their objections to the
agreement on the ground that the
farmer would suffer injury were vir-
tually fighting for higher duties for
the farmer He said no injury to the
farmer could follow the removal of
duties on farm products, except in
certain localities along the border.
To keep the duties at the present
figure, he said, would be to place the
consumer at the mercy of short
market and rising prices when the
time arrives that American production
does not equal American consumption.

FARMERSTANDSO OFF
RAILROAD GANG
Had Mined His Farm With Deadly
Quantities of Dynamite-ls Now
Willing to Arbitrate.

Wichita, Kans., July 6.-When Mid
land Valley railroad graders went on
the farm of Harvey Pitman yesterday
to begin throwing dirt for the extern
sion of the road to this city, they
found the place mined. Dynamite in
deadly quantities had been buried be-
tween survey stakes and Mr., Pitman,
armed with a six-shooter and Win
chester rife, stood back on a dead
line The graders backed up and last
night Mr.. Pitman is in undisputed
possession of his 200-acre farm. Sher-
iff John Millhaubt looked down the
barrel of Pithmanfs revolver yesterday
afternoon while he tried to persuade
the irate farmer to consent to the
graders going to work on the property
but Pitman was obdurant and the
sheriff had to ride away without a
prisoner or compromise.
When the graders reached the farm,
signs confronted them reading, 'Dyna-
mite Buried Here" A big box that
once contained dynamite was found
in the weeds. The graders backed off
the farm and Right of Way Agent ].
H. Hopkins with newspaper man
walked across the farm. Mr.. Hopkins
dug up four sticks of dynamite. Others
are buried in an alfalfa field These
plants of dynamite were wired so that
they could be set off from a distance.
Early yesterday morning a deafen.
ing roar awoke the graders in camp.
Mr.. Hopkins found big hole in the
sround. One of the mines had ex-
ploded, he thinks by dog running
into a trigger wire. Sheriff Millhaubt
attempted to organize posse here
but announced after getting started
that arrest would be put off until
morning. 1t is feared that a killing
will result when matters come to a
crisis. Pitman, who resides in Derby
and leases his farm, is camping in a
corn field, heavily armed.
The controversy between Pitman
and the railroad is over damages
awarded the farmer because of the
right-or-way through the Pitman farm.
The board of county commissioners
awarded Pitman $2.1v0. He offered to
settle yesterday for $4,000. His price
before yesterday has been $4,000. He
has suit in district court appealing
from the appraisement, but wants to
settle out of court.

that Charles d.. Hilles, secretary to

concerning the presidential indica-
tions" are made today in letter by

Norris charged that Hilles SUPPRESS
ed the facts relating to the sentiment
favoring the candidacy of Senator La

charged that the progressives had
been wronged by "a conspiracy of the
great newspapers" in suppressing the
neRe relating to the progressive move
ment. In referring to articles printed
the letter says: "These articles have
earmarks that strongly indicate that
they originated in the White House.
I do not think the president himself
dictated them but it is generally un-
Gerstood that the information came
from his private secretary"

.NEWCOAL RATE ORDEREDBY
CORPORATION COMMISSION
To Be On Straight Mileage Basis---Graduated
Scale of Rates Change With Every EUe
Miles---Railroads Object to Destina-
tion Weights Provision of
Old Rule.

Oklahoma City, July Ga new coal
rate order was issued by the corpora
ton commission Wednesday, making
final the rates of the proposed order
on which extended hearings were re-
Gently held by the commission. The
order becomes effective on July 81, and
the railroads are required to file their
tariffs by July 27. The new rates are
on straight mileage basis, doing
away with all of the groupings which
were favored by many of the coal pro-
ducers. The order makes material
reduction from present rates, but does
not put them as low as the former
order, which was enjoined by the rail
roads in the federal court
A graduated scale of rates is pro-
vided, changing with every five miles
up to 100 miles, and every ten miles
from 100 to 400 miles, and ranging
from 25 cents for five miles on coal
and coke for 400 miles, and $1.93 for
slack. A lower rate is made through
out for slack, which is defined as any
coal that will pass through a bar
screen with bars one and one-eighth
inches apart or through a round hole
two inches in diameter.
The carriers are allowed to add 10
cents per ton for shipments moving
over two lines not under the same
control and management and 10 cents
per ton for shipments over three or
more lines. Where shipments are re
consigned either before or after
reaching the first destination and such
re-consignment causes a total move
ment of over 300 miles from point OF
origin to final destination, two cents
per ton for each ten miles or fraction
thereof over 300 miles may be added.
The commission reserves the right to
direct the basis for revenue divisions
whenever carriers fail to agree.
A final order was also issued in re-
gard to car load commodity shipments
on which hearings were held immed-
lately following the coal rate hearings
Some notifications are made from the
proposed order on the same subject
One feature to which the railroads es
pecially objected was the requirement
of destination weights. The new or

CAN SHIP CATTLE FROM
CRAIG TO SOUTHER YARDS
Oklahoma City, July 5.
Mr.. Robert L. Chamberlain,
Vinita. Okla.

Mr.. Robert L. Chamberlain,
Vinita, Okla
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter
of recent date in which you say that
some of the cattlemen of Craig coun-
ty wanted to ship their cattle to
southern yards without them being
first dipped will say that this can
be done. The dipping of cattle in that
part of Craig county that was includ-
ed in the proclamation issued by the
state board of agriculture July 1st,
1911, should not begin until the ticky
premises are first located by the in
spectors. l wish you would so in
struct your county men to that effect.
Any one that desires to ship his
cattle to the southern division of the
stock yards can do so without the
cattle or premises being quarantined.
Any one that desires to ship and his
premises are now under quarantine
can do so by having the inspector to
give him written permit and the
cattle will not have to be dipped.
wish you would instruct your eoun-
ty men to suspend dipping in Craig
county and to proceed to locate the
ticky places in that part of Craig that
has not as yet been canvassed. /
have notified our Mr.. VIM. Dots to
suspend dipping and to proceed to
canvass the southern part Of Craig
Very truly yours,
M. f. IKARD,
Superintendent Live Stock Inspection.

der, which becomes effective July "a
merely requires that "all carload ship.
ments shall be weighed at least one
time, if track scale is located on the
line of shipment between point of
origin and destination, and the gross,
tare and net weight shall be shown
on the way bill"
A provision is added to the rule,
which requires that where two or more
routes are available, the lines hand
ling the shipments shall charge as
though made by the route via which
the lowest rate could be made. This
is now fixed so that only the line on
which the lowest rate shipment can
be made shall be required to accept
the shipment at that rate. If rendered
to other lines, they shall have the op-
ton of refusing to accept it at the
low rate, and If the shipper insists on
routing via that line, the carrier shall
have the right to charge its regular
rates.
Where under this rule carriers meet
the rates of other carriers between
competitive points, it will not have
the effect of maintaining such rates at
intermediate points, but such rates
shall be considered for the longer or
higher rate line as a terminal rate.
