GOOD ROADS PASS IN SENATE
Measure Providing Highway Com
mission and State Aid to Towns
Goes Through Upper House.

Madison.-With practically no op-
position the senate passed the first
of the big bills to be acted upon at
this session-the Donald good roads
bill, carrying an appropriation of
$4,000 a year for the improvement
of the public highways in Wisconsin,
which went through by a vote Of &c
to 2.
The bill as passed by the senate,
gives state aid to every county that
makes expenditures for highway i'm
provement along lines laid down by
commission of experts. This means
that if several towns in county
decide to spend a specified aggregate
sum in improving highways, the state
will lend a helding hand with the
use Of money and the giving of the
best scientific advice available. The
amount of state aid is to be in pro-
portion to the amount raised by taxa
ton in the several counties for i'm
provement of roads. The state tax
is to be IS of mill and for every n
of mill raised by the county, the.
state is to add IS of a mill.

ROB TRAIN OF $4,000.
Iron Mountain Passengers Terrorized
by Outlaws.

Coffeyville, Kan. Federal Off
GERS have joined in the search for
the four masked men who blew up
with nitro lycerin and robbed the
express car safe of north-bound pas
senger train No. 104 of the ST. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern railroad on
a lonely prairie, II miles south OF
here. 1t was discovered that several
packages of registered mail had been
stolen.
All of the 200 passengers remained
in the coaches and Pullman, too terri
fed by frequent rife shots and explo-
sions Of nitro-glycerin even to peep
out, and members of the crew lay,
faces down, at the side of the right Of
way, guarded by one Of the robbers.
After what appeared to the victims
an endless period, the lights Of two
motor cars were seen to approach. A
moment later the rifle shooting
ceased. A quarter of an hour later,
when the. trainmen got to their feet,
the motor cars and the robbers were
gone. 1t is believed they took money
and other valuables to the amount OF
$4,000 No passenger was robbed.

PLAN TO GO AFTER
MEN HIGHER Up"
New Developments in Carnegie
Trust Company.
LEWIS BEFORE GRAND JURY
Former Counsel of Concern Gives I'm.
portant Testimony prominent
Men Interested in Case of
Nationwide Interest.

New York. = Additional indict-
ments against high officials Of
the Carnegie Trust company are
looked for as result Of the testi-
mony given before the grand jury by
Liston L. Lewis, former counsel for
the trust company.
District Attorney Whitman, it is
said, possesses conclusive evidence
that the executive committee Of the
trust company, over which Joseph B.
Reichmann presided as president,
knowingly made a false report of the
company's assets on August 81, 1910,
and mutiliated the minutes Of meet
ing held August % in order to con-
form to suggestions Of the state
banking department.
Both the original minutes and the
substituted minutes are in existence
and it will be possible to produce
them in the prosecution of the Off
Gals responsible for the transaction.
Another interesting feature of the
developments was the supported
statement that Samuel Untermeyer,
the well-known corporation lawyer,
has become the attorney for the COM
bination represented by Charles H.
Hyde, Mayor Gaynor's city chamber
lain; William J. Cummins, the mas
ter promoter Of the trust company,
and Joseph B. Reichmann, it's former
president.
Joseph G. Robin, the confessed
bank wrecker, appeared before the
grand jury as its first witness and
his testimony, which occupied two
hours, is believed to have been con-
fined entirely to facts which surround
the loan of $4,000 made to the Car
negie Trust company by Robins
Northern bank to tide the trust COM
pany over the August examination by
the state banking department

To Mark Historic Spot.

A movement is on foot to erect a
monument to commemorate the first
burial which took place in the first
cemetery of the first church in the
Kishacoquillas Valley, Miffiin county,
Pennsylvania A little white child,
whose name has been long ago for
gotten, was first to be inferred. The
funeral cortege was beset by In
dams and the men stood guard with
their rifles while the women lowered
the body into the grave and filled in
the earth. The spot is historic, located
only a few yards from the celebrated
Logan spring, where Judge William
Brown, the original grantee of the land
surrounding Browns Mills, now Reeds
vile, from the commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, met Chief Logan, the Mingo,
which meeting sealed the friendship
between Indians and whites until the
former had been pushed further west
by the trend of civilization.

SOME WALK FOR A PIGEON
Makes Trip From New York to Phil
adeIphia on Foot as Result
Of Wager.

Allan A. Ryan, the president of the
Aero Club of America, said at re-
cent aeronauts' banquet in New York:
There's a chap in France who is
getting remarkable results out of
study of the flight of the large soar
Ing birds. the eagle, condor and vul-
ture. He tames these huge creatures.
They walk at his side like dogs A

an automobile last month
There is always something funny
about walking birds You will re-
member that windy day when the
blasts were SO wild and strong that
the crows all had to walk home. Can't
you see those crows, black and grave,
trudging sturdily homeward along the
wind-swept and snowy road?
Il heard the other day about man
who bet a pigeon fancier that he
hadn't pigeon that could make the
trip from Philadelphia to New York.
The pigeon fancier accepted this bet.
and foolishly intrusted his best car
rier pigeon to his opponent. The lat
ter. though, before releasing the bird
in Philadelphia, clipped its wings.
"The next day the fancier admitted
sadly that his pigeon had not yet come
home.
Then I win, said the other man.
mo; you must wait Bit objected
the fancier.
The second day the pigeon had still
not returned. But on the third day
the fancier gayly demanded payment
of the wager.
my bird is back he said, and in
superb condition, only his feet are
sore"

A Shining Metal.

Il is a legend among the peasants
OF Cornwall that at night one some
times sees a faintly-shining mineral
among the rocks brought from the
mines. That this is not pure magma
ton has been proved by Professor
Strut A specimen Of the mineral
autunite, which is also found in Wales,
was sent to him from Portugal be-
cause of its luminous property. He
finds that it closely resembles arti-
ficially prepared salts Of uranium, and
that it's luminosity is due to sponta-
neous radio-activity. The light that
it sheds is stronger than that Of nj
trate of uranium. Upon parting with
it's water Of disqualification the min
eral loses it's luminous property.

1t is lengthy document, explaining

that it makes further concessions.
The Chinese having discovered,
however, that Russia is reluctant to

NEW YORK CAPITOL
WRECKED BY FIRE
PAlATIAL S27, 100000 STATE
HOUSE AT ALBANY is A
MASS OF RUINS.
LOSS PLACED At $4,000. 900
Firemen Unable to Cope With Flames
Which Sweep Unchecked Through
Marble Walls of Magnificent Edi-
fce-No Insurance on Structure

Albany, n. Y.-Fire swept smoke
strewn, and water drenched, New
York states magnificent $27, 100000
capitol stands partial wreck by
flames that started in the assembly
library, burned away the entire west
wing and did damage estimated at
$40, 900, 900 before the flames were
declared under control after raging
more than four hours.
The library was a seething furnace
when the firemen arrived They
were badly hampered in their early
operations and the flames soon ate
out into the corridors and to the
entry room of the assembly chamber.
The fire quickly Quilted the assem-
bly, library, destroying all bills, dOcu-
ments and papers, some of them dat
ing at far back as 1776. These are
irreplaceable. The library also con-
tanned all the documents of the code
and judiciary committee of the pres
ent session. These were all de-
strOyed
Owing to the proximity of the state
library, the firemen broke through
an air shaft and flooded it.
The 100000 ceiling of the west
ern staircase, considered one of the
finest examples of mural art in the
world, early fell prey to the
flames, which then continued their
sweep along the hall toward the SEN
ate chamber, reached the elevators
near the state library and began to
sweep up the shafts.
In less than an hour from the dis
cOvery of the fire the flames leaped
into the state library with roar, and
it's inf1ammable contents were licked
up like oil.
The firemen had several narrow eS-
capes from falling walls and by being
trapped when the flames had eaten
through supposedly fireproOf doors,
but all managed to escape.
The loss upon that portion of the
capitol building destroyed is doubt
less in the neighborhood of $4,000
600. This amount does not include
the furnishings nor the contents of
the state library.
There is no insurance whatever
as it has not been the policy of the
state to insure it's buildings, save
in the case of certain hospitals and
asylum plants.
A defective electric wire is said
to have caused the fire.
More money was reported to have
been wasted in the construction of
the New York state capitol than on
any other public structure in Ameri-
ca. 1t was estimated when it's con-
structiOn was authorized by the legis-
lature in 1868 that the building as
planned would cost 100000. Ac-
cOrding to the state records for the
fiscal year ended Sept. 80 last, the
total amount expended had been
more than $25, 100000, and the orig
inal plans had not been carried out.
