MANY SCANDALS
IN GARY EXPOSE
Dean Says He Sees Chance to
Succeed Where Others
Failed.
HIS LIFE is THREATENED
Refuses to Remain in Indiana City
After NightfalI-Recalls Re
cent Sluggings.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-The impend-
ing exposure or conditions at Gary,
Ind, where Mayor Thomas E.
Knots and a half dozen of his al
dermen and other officials have been
arrested on charges of grating, will
probably be somewhat more extern
sive than the Knots crowd has ex-
pected.
T. B. Dean, the mysterious strang-
er, has settled down to the task of
cleaning up the steel town where
others have failed. He withdrew i'm
mediately after the arrests last Fri
day, returning to Crown Point, Ind,
next day to perfect his af1davits. He
said frankly he would not risk
spending a minute in Gary "after
dark" He cited threats made
against him and recalled sluggings
that have happened in Gary in the
past.
TO SAFEGUARD EVIDENCE.
Dean has so arranged affairs that
in the event of his sudden removal
this evidence will be available for
any one who will prosecute.
Dean is not a professional re-
former" He says he saw his chance
to succeed where refOrmers have fail
ed and took it. Evidence he has col
Iected will further suits not only for
the grating prosecution but also for
perjury prosecutions growing out of
pre>,ious cases from which the Gary
officials have escaped scot free.

No Likelihood Of Acceptance
Berlin League Passes Reso-
IutionS of Protest.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE nature Of
Germany's reply to the French propos-
al in Moroccan affairs has affected
French government circles unpleas-
antly. Germany asks, it appears,
that every claim of German subjects
to concessions in Morocco shall be
recognized by France, and that no
new enterprise shall be started un-
der the French prOtectorate without
being internationalized equally.
CLAIMS ARE ENORMOUS.
The claims of German subjects are
enormous. The German terms also
ask a free hand in Morocco. with con-
ditions that would, according to the
French view, deprive France of all
its advantages. and would give Ger
many privileges in Morocco beyond
those of any power, even France.
There seems no likelihood of France
accepting Germanys counter propos
ais.
: BREACH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
tBerlin. Sept. 1.-THE Pan-Ger-
man league yesterday passed resolu-
tions protesting against the with
drawal of Germany from It's political
position in Morocco and against its
acceptance of territorial indemnity in
the French Congo. The imperial
chancellor was asked to break off
negotiations with France rather
than settle the dispute on that basis.

SECOND VOTE ON
RAILROAD STRIKE
Action of Machinists' Said to
Have Broken Back of Ili-
nois Central Trouble.
OTHER UNIONS TO FOLLOW
Blow Delivered to Federation Sys-
tenn That 1t Will Not Recover
From in Years.

Chicago, Sept. lit was stated
today a second vote of the Illinois
Central shopmen's unions on the
strike question had not been COM
pleted. Some shops have been
heard from, but there is no intima-
ton of how they stand. The ma
chinists' union, it is said, are oppos-
ed to strike, and should their con-
vention at Davenport decide against
the move, it is stated the other un-
ions are not likely to be ordered out.
The decision of the machinists has,
it was said, effectually ended the
strike agitation, unless the men take
matters into their own hands and
walk out, which was said to be i'm
probable.
DECISION NOT ANNOUNCED.
No announcement of the decision
of the machinists' executive board
was made, as only three of the five
members of it attended the session
1t was said the result of the deIib-
erations would be announced in Dav-
enport, where President James
O'Connell and the members of the
executive board will be in session all
this week, preparing for the interna-
cional convention which opens in that
city week from today.
officers of the other unions in
volved in the controversy were bit
ter last night against the machinists,
who. they said. had deserted at the
crucial moment after cooperating
with the other trades up TO last Tues
day, when the order was sent out to
the men to hold themselves in readi-
ness to strike.
ELoW TO FEDERATION.
Although feeling angry at the ma
chinists. one of the officials of an
other union said there would not be
a strike unless every union was will
ing to respond at the same moment.
He declared that the action taken
yesterday by the machinists' execu-
tive board would give the federation
system on the Illinois Central a blow
that it would not recover from in

Of the struggles of his early days ana
the ties hich bound him to Missouri

Real Estate Man Tells Great Falls
People About Judith Basin Crops.

Great Falls Leader: That the wheat
crop OF the Judith Basin will easily
total 100000 bushels this year, un-
less unforeseen disaster overtakes the
husbandman, is the prediction made
by Alex B. Lehman, the well-known
Lewistown real estate man, who Is
i'll the city attending the Knights
Templar conclave. Mr.. Lehman made
this statement i'll an interview with
the Leader last evening and added
that he believed it very conserva-
tive estimate. This will be the largest
crop by 100000 bushels ever pro
duced in the Basin.
The yield in the Judith Basin may
run higher than 100000 bushels, and
probably will. but or the sake OF con
servatism, would put the figure a
that In addition to the wheat crop
OF 100000 bushels, we will have 2
000,0O0 bushels OF oats in the BASIN
this year. Then there is 10000 acres
