POLICE RESCUE MANY
Five Thousand Persons We're Under
Canvas at the Time and Per-
49, Torrance On.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 15.--Five thou
sand persons at Buffalo Bills Wild
West show were thrown into a panic
this evening when half of the large
tent was blown down in an electrical
storm. Several men and women were
injured by collapsing seats and fall
ing tent poles.
The greatest damage was done in
the extension camp, which is just
beyond the "Marquee'' or entrance
pavilion and which was occupied by
an audience of more than 1900. The
band had just finished the second
overture and the performers, mounted
on horses, were crowding in the ap-
proach of the arena before the grand
march, when the accident occurred.
A binding flash of lightning was fol-
lowered by wind furry that lifted
the roof from the tent, tore down the
canvas walls from their anchorage
and sent seats and tent poles flying.
Enveloped in thousands of yards Of
wet, Tapping canvas, terrified men
and women struggled to escape. The
cries of the frightened audience could
be heard above the storm for many
blocks. All of the people in the fall
en- tent managed to extricate them
selves with the help of canvasmen
and other employees of the show.
The presence of squad of police
and the cool-headedness of show at
taches alone prevented serious ca
tastrophe. Sergeant William Bruins
and Lieutenant William Walsh Of the
Sixth Precinct Station, with twenty
policemen, plunged beneath the
weight of the canvas and dragged wo-
men and children to places of safety.
The storm, which began at about
1880 o'clock, after a day Of heat and
excessive humidity, was Responsible
for a number of other accidents in
Chicago.

"My brother Daniel on his return
from Europe a few weeks ago gave
an interview to the New York Amerl-

owned not one foot of coal lands in
Alaska nor had we any purpose or
desire to acquire any. He told the
absolute truth. Our only interest in
the Alaska coal fields is that OF a
common carrier. We have built a
railroad up there at very great cost.
Should the government change It's
foolish policy and permit American
citizens-not ourselves-to go up

ESCAPED SECOND TIME
Report That Louis Gammill's Assail.
ant Has Been Captured, But No
Credence Given Report.

Was the fiendish negro who GRIM
inally assaulted Mary Revins, a ne
gro woman, in a field on the Creed
Taylor place, three miles soutb ~,
Pine Bluff, late Friday afternoon.
Arthur Peyton, the negro who shot
and probably fatally wounded Louis
Gammill, manager Of the SAWYER g.
Austin commissary at Spur No. II.
near Sheridan, Wednesday?
Those who saw the. negro and who
know Peyton believe firmly that the
woman's assalant was no other than
the fugitive who has been pursued
for several days by officers and blood
hounds in this and adjoining coun-
ties.
Mary Bevins was gathering peas in
field when negro, answering to
Peyton's description knocked her
down and assaulted her. He then
made his escape. When the crime
was reported here Constable Frank
Stewart and Deputy Sheriff R. H.
Williams went In search for the ne
gro. They trailed him into Lincoln
County, near Snyder's store. The ne
gro however, gave them the slip and
after an all night search the officers
returned to Pine Bluff.
1t was reported here yesterday that
Peyton had been captured by posse
at Belfast in Grant county, but the
report Is not given credence for Pey-
ton is said to have been seen In this
and Lincoln counties yesterday. The
officers believe that they will have
him in custody within the next 48
hours.

SUSTAINS CHA CE
OF MISS ABBOTT
CLIFFORD PINCHOT TELLS OF DIS
APPEARANCE OF IMPORTANT
CHART FROM WAR DEPT.
DATES DO NOT TALLY.
Famous Controller Bay Affair Be-
comes More Interesting Re-
fore Committee.

Washington, july 15.--Gifford Pin
chot today issued a statement sus-
tanning the charges made by Miss NJ.
F. Abbott, writer, that vital re-
cords relating to the Guggenhein; ac-
tivities in Alaska have disappeared
from the War Department file. When
Major J. B. Cavanaugh of the Eng
neering corps Of the War Department.,
appeared before the House Investigate
ing Committee, he brought, as order
ed all maps on file there The conf
mittee especially wanted to see a
certain plat, showing the amended
location of the Dear Lick Ryan rail-
road on Controller Bay harbor.
This map Miss Abbott had told the
committee was showed to her about
June 1, 1911. It was dated Decem-
Der IA, 1910. 1t pretended to repre-
sent surveys made on Controller Bay
subsequent to December 1, 1910. AS
it could not possibly have come from
Controller Bay to Washington in
those fourteen days, the plat mu It
have been made before December 1.
But before December 1 there was no
government survey of the region and
no authority for Ryans surveyors to
make their private survey.
1t is argued therefore that Ryan
must have had information that he
would be given these lands, he must
have hurried to Alaska, made his sur
veys before the official orders, giving
him the right to do so, had taken eff
feet and rushed back to Washington
to be filed just as soon as the gov
eminent survey had been completed.
The disappearance of this map TO-
gether with the disappearance of an
alleged iDck to- Dick kletter, written
by Richard S. Ryan to Richard A Bal
linger, bringing President Taft and
Charles P. Taft, his brother, into the
Controller Bay scandal, through
doubt about the story of their exist
ence, told by Miss Abbott. Mr.. Pin
chot's testimony as to the existence
of the map is confirmatory in part of
Miss Abbott's statements and arouses
renewed interest in the now famous
"Dick to Dick" letter

BRIDGE COMMISSION HEARS LET
TER READ THAT GIVES EVIL
nENCE OF PLANS AHEAD OF
FREE BRIDGE
TRUNK LINE PLANS
Y.
i'inc Bluff Objective Polnt-Bridge
commissioners To Give Out All
Details To Public Shortly.

The members of the jefferson Coun-
ty Bridge Commission held a meet
ing yesterday and heard letter read
from the officials Of trunk line, now
Operating near Pine Bluff, and in
which inquiries were made regarding
the proposed Free Bridge across the
river at or near this city, and it was
evident from the questions asked by
the railroad men that they are deep
~ interested in the construction of a
highway bridge at Pine Bluff.
The tone of the letter led the mem
bers of the Bridge Commission to be-
lieve beyond a doubt that if the free
bridge is constructed and a right of
way is provided through a lease, for
railroads, a trunk line will come to
Pine Bluff Immediately upon it's COM
pletion.
The commissioners stated yesterday
afternoon that they were not auth
orized to give out the name of the
railroad that is planning to come this
way, but that all information con-
corning the proposition to the Bridge
Commissioners, will be given to the
public with all details within thirty
days.
It is stated that Pine Bluff has
been SO near to getting another trunk
line railroad. Owing to the lack of
funds to enable the Commission to
enlighten the public on the Free
Bridge matter, and their inability to
secure clerical help, additional facts
concerning the advantages and bene-
fits to accrue from the construction
of Free Bridge here, have not been
given the public in the past few
weeks. The Bridge Commission is
preparing to issue pamphlet in
which every feature of the PROPOSE
ton will be presented to the tax
payers. Thousands of these phamph-
lets will be mailed out in this coun-
