RATHER MARVELLOUS ESCAPE
Fifty Thousand Pounds More
Stood Within Hundred

New York, Feb. 2.--Three separate
investigations started this morning to
determine the responsibility for yes
terday's explosion of cargo of dyna.
mite in New York harbor. The Jer-
sey City police and federal authori,
ties will assist in all three investiga-
tions. The federal authorities, how
ever, have put the case squarely up to
New Jersey, as the explosion oc-

ing are thirty. Seven dead are in
the hands of the coroner and it is his
belief that most of the twenty-three
missing were blown to pieces. The
loss will be close to a million dollars.
The blast probably was the largest
explosion of dynamite that has ever
occurred anywhere. Fifty-thousand
pounds went up in single detona.

however, from much more serious dis.

Protesting Against Advance in Rates,

Whereas. the American National
Live Stock Association stands for
just, fair and reasonable treatment
Of railroad corporations, their stock
holders and employees, and at the same
time demands fair, just and reasonable
rates to the shippers and the public.
and
Whereas, the railway companies of
the United States by concerted action
are attempting 10 make a general ad-
vance in their rates; and
Whereas. this association believes
that with the increased population and
traffic and with the present basis of
net earnings, the railroads of ths
United States are in a prosperous con-
dition and receiving on an average as
much net profit on their investment
as farmers. stockraisers and prOduc-
ers generally are making upon their
investment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, /. That we protest against
the general advance in rates by the
railroads of the United States.
2. That we protest against and
oppose advances in rates in particu
lar cases except where the railroads
after full and fair investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission can
show that they do not receive reason
able compensation for the service
performed.
3. That we indorse the action taken
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in suspending the general ad-
vances in rates that have been pro-
posed by the railroads.
4. That we favor the amendment
of the present Interstate Commerce
law which now places the burden of
proof on the railroads to justify ad-
yances in rates made after January
II. 1910, so that the rates which were
in effect on January /, 1910, shall be
declared by law to be reasonable max
imum rates, and which shall not be
exceeded by the railroads except
where the railroads, upon complaint
and after hearing, shall show to the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
| it is just and reasonable that they be
permitted to advance any of the said
rates in effect on January LIST, 1910.
RESOLUTION NO. 2.
Urging Valuation of Railroads.
Whereas, The railways OF the
United States are demanding an in
crease of freight rates in order to
raise their earnings to a higher stand
ard of return than the average of the
past; and
Whereas, The bass of the claim is
that their property has largely in
creased in value; and
Whereas, The question of the value
OF railway property is made an i'm
portant factor in all rate legislation;
and
Whereas, The shipper and the pa b.
lie have no means Of showing and the
Commission has at present no ade-
quate means of ascertaining the value
OF such property; now, therefore be

Resolved, By the American Live
Stock Association, that we urge upon
Congress the enactment of a law pro-
viding for the immediate valuation
OF railway properties and the ascer-
tainment of all details of cost and in

the trip. as the river at the time
was high and rough He disregard,
ed this counsel. however, assuring
his advisers that he anticipated no
trouble in making the trip easily.
and on the 18th of June he started
out. Although several parties have
since come down the river nothing
has been heard or seen of Steffensen
and it is certain that he did not
reach town Dad Martin feels conf
dent that he has been lost. either
through the raft being wrecked on
a boulder or being swept off the frail
craft by a sweeper He is more Ger
tain in this belief because the many
inquiries he has made concerning
the missing man have failed to bring
any tidings of him.
Steffensen came to the camp in the
early days of the labor union here.
as an organizer for the United Mine
Workers He took a leading part
in the strikes and al one time was
under Indictment for participating in
the small riot al the depot al the
time Doazat took a shot at Deputy
Marshal Phil North Since that time
he has done considerable representa-
ton work on quartz properties in

BOB dunn

case. friends of Bob Dunn. who two
years ago was sentenced to IL years
in the penitentiary for the killing
Of Carl Elbing, will now try to get
the signature OF Judge Lyons to a
petition for pardon for the former
Dome creek man. A general canvass
for names to the petition will also
be made and when a sufficient num-
Der have been obtained the petition
will be forwarded to the president
Governor Clark has already been
communicated with by Dunn's friends
but he states that he is powerless
to grant a pardon. He states. how
ever that he will do all he can to
forward Dunns cause when the mat
ter is called to his attention offiCi
ally. The twelfth juror who tried
the case cannot be found, but it is
believed certain that when he is
located he will willingly attach his
name to the petition.
