RECORD HOT:WAvE.
Over Two Hundred. Deaths Reported
To Chicago Coroner.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Two hundred and
one deaths snd l73 prostrations was
the toll exacted by Chicago's record
breaking hot wave which lasted for
Ave days. One hundred and twenty
Ave infants who died from the heat are
included in the list OF deaths.
r' The hot wave was broken shortly
after l O'Clock this morning by rain.
which brought with it q cool breeze
and drop in the temperature of six
degrees.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Practically 6.
the only section Of the country where
the hot wave has spread from coast to
coast remained unbroken today is that
of the north Atlantic States. Rain
brought the long awaited cool wave to
the upper lake region, the plains states
and the middle west today, and further
reductions in temperature are probable
in the next "a to 26 hours. Showers
have moder ated the heat in the south
ern states.
By tomorrow night the east gener-
orally will get relief, it is predicted,
and the worst and most prolonged
spell of heat since 1901 will be broken.
The loss of more than 500 lives is
to be credited to the great heat wave
of July to 5, 1911. The torrid period
will be memorable in weather annals
for it's wide extent, its long duration.
it's record breaking temperatures and
the long list of fatalities which it has
caused. The hundreds of news dis.
patches which cities from the north
Atlantic seaboard west to the plains
states have exchanged in the last four
days, account, according to careful
review tonight, for the deaths OF AL
persons from the heat and 80 from
drowning-a total of 5ll.
Incomplete as the record is from the
failure of many points to report spec
ifcally the number of deaths, it was
as serious showing as is remem bered
for many years, II not q record.

DEFENSE SPRINGS SURPRISE
Dynamite Conspiracy Case Has First
Hearing In Court.

Los ANGELES, July 6. - The de.
fense in the McNamara dynamite con-
spiracy case sprung surprise today
when John J. Mcnamara, the accused
Indiana labor leader, and his brother
ames, were called into Judge Bord-
wells department of the superior
court.
Both men were summoned to plead
to nineteen charges of murder. the re.
suit of the destruction of the Times
newspaper plant on October l, 1910.
In addition John J. Mcnamara, was
expected to plead to the charge that
he had conspired to destroy the Llew.
ellyn Iron Works. Instead, be chal-
lenged the jurisdiction of the court,
claiming that it had no right to exact
plea or to try him on either of the
charges of murder or the Llewellyn
Iron Works Indictment, because he
was extradicted from Indianapolis,
not for murder, but for alleged dyna-
hitting.
This move plainly surprised the
prosecution. A motion for the quash'
ing Of the indictments was made only
in the case of James B. McNamars
who entered no plea whatever, holding
that the indictments against hin
should not stand because the grani
jury was biased, and because Ear
Rogers who acted ss q special distric
attorney to aid the inquisitors during
the investig alton, had previously bee'
active on behalf OF the Times, and tn
mer chants and manufacturers associa
,ion during the search for evidence.

THE ALDRICH PLAN.

Proposed New Financial System Is
Opposed BY Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, July Sin connec.
tion with q resolution introduced to-
day by Representative Lind bergh of
Minnesota, proposing an investiga.
ton by house committee of nine
members to determine if there exists
combinati OF financiers in the Unit.
cd States operating in restraint of
trade or violation of other laws, the
insurgent republicans assailed the
proposed financial system submitted
to the monetary commission by former
Sen ator Aldrich.
The resolution calls for an investi-
cation of the banking, money ex-
change, credit and deposit systems of
the country, and recommendation
for immediate legislation.
"W all street, said Representative
Lind bergh in his statement accom-.
panying the resolution, "brought on
the 1907 panic, got the people to de.
mand currency reform; brought the
Aldrich.Vreeland currency bill for
ward, and if it dares will produce an.
other panic to pass the Aldrich cen.
trail bank plan. We need reform, but
not at the hands OF Wall street."
Mr.. Lind bergh eaid that under the
Aldrich plan the reserve association
twill take away from communities
funds that belong to the communities,
and which should be used to build uI
their own industries.
~"Of the 43 directors appointed fol
the association" said Mr.. Lindbergh
"each OF the 15 branches is to elec'
one. New York City. Philadelphia
and Boston would each control one
and other large ceuters would contro
others. Four would be sufficient 4
make Wall street the sole arbiter
The provision for the selection of di
rectors contains the principal joke
in the Aldrich plan.
"Twelve directors are to be elected
on the basis of stock representation
and, of course, would be elected b!
the Wall street crowd, for the capita
of the country is now controlled to tn
extent of 80 per cent by 5000 person

INJUSTICE WORKED
BY PRESENT LAW
Ogden Vinegar Manufacturer
Makes Protest TO Commits
SiOner Hansen.

That the present law regarding the
labelling of vinegar works an injustice
on the manufacturer who puts out g
good quality OF the sour stuff, is the
gist of complaint made Friday by
George w. Goddard and j. C. Rose OF
the Rose Preserving company of Ogden
10 Willard Hansen, state food and
dairy commissioner Mr.. Rose says the
law az il now stands requires the man
ufacturer to place on his bottles or kegs
only the words. 'sDistllled Vinegar.
Distilled vinegar. Mr.. Rose says. can
he made in many ways. In some cases
the waste matter from sugar factories
is fermented and used and in other
cases waste fruits can DO used. But
the proper way to make pure vinegar
ie TO use corn meal and malt. The corn
meal now costs $40 ton and the malt
500 ton, while the waste matters can
be obtained for $40.
The manufacturer who makes pure
vinegar is at greater expense than the
manufacturer of the inferior brand. but
both get the same price for the prod.
uct. Mr. Goddard says the law is bad
and works an injustice on the manufac-
turer who wants to put out genuine
vinegar. The matter has been taken
up by Commissioner Hansen.
