struggle getting to shore alone. The
four girls who were drowned were
held under water by the sail Of the

manded that their pay be increased

them to await the reorganization of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany, which was then pending. When
Thomas e. Mitten of Chicago last

company he declared that the COM
pany could not afford an increase, but
leaders of the street car men stated

MANY PROPOSALS
Small Investors, 1t is Believed, Will
Take Up Bond Issue.

rake up Bona Issue.
Washington, June 12.-The govern
ment's s50,0O0,0O0 Panama canal loan
probably will be taken in the main
by small investors. Although the
bids will not be opened until next Sat-
urday. more than 900 sealed pro-
posals have been received at the treas
ury department. They came from all
sections of the country and the loan
seems to be we'll understood by the
public.
Treasury officers feel that as the
new bonds are exempt by law from
all government. state, municipal or
local taxation, they have high in
vestment value in comparison with
state, municipal, railroad or industrial
securities.
Bids will be received until p. m.
June II. Announcement Of the sue
cessful bidders and the prices will be
made few days later.

FERRIS WHEEL sTRuCT BY
LIGHTNING PANIC WAS RESULT
Women Restrained From Jumping to
Ground and Later Reseued-silk
Mills Unroofed- Society Circus
Crowd in Wild Scramble Tramples
Many Down.

New York, June 12.-Five dead, five
persons missing and al property loss
OF $1,000,000, is the result of the two
days storm which has ragged inter-
mittently in New York and environs.
The weather predictions indicate that
the storm may continue today.
The torrential downpour was a
boon to depleted reservoirs, ten
days supply having been accumulated
in the Croton watershed.
The lightning struck a revolving
ferris wheel at Clason point last
night. The big wheel, which carried
several passengers, was thrown from
IT'S axis and stuck fast. The light
ming blinded the passengers and there
was panic. Several women attempted
to leap from the wheel but were re-
strained. The passengers were taken
down on ladders rigged together.
Several silk mills in Patterson, N.
J., were unroofed. The streets were
flooded in several New Jersey towns,
trees were uprooted and cellars filled
with water.
Two bodies were found on the shore
Of Gravesend Bay and identified as
Mrs. Emile Fulkner, a widow, and
her brother, Captain George Lante, a
boat builder. Lante and his sister
had gone out to his house boat with
provisions for. i, party which had been
planned for Sunday. t. Is presumed
they were returning to shore when the
storm broke and capsised their little
skin. q, ,s I. ,s....t :. s..
The third death was in Jersey City,
where the falling wire had electrocut-
ed David Leen. Losses aggregating
more than 100000 were caused by
fires set by lightning strokes. 1t Is
estimated that $4,000 damage was
done at Flushing, L. l., where $4,000
men and women were within q big
circus. Twelve large tents were
levelled by the wind and in the stam-
pede which followed six women were
trampled and taken to the hospital.
At Coney Island, tents and shacks
erected on the site Of the recent fire
were blown down and some whirled
out to sea. At Patterson, N. j., two
hundred big trees were uprooted, and
carried down the electric light and
trolley wires, leaving the city with
out light or car service for several
hours.
Pennsylvania In Storm.
Pittsburg, June 12.-Following a
day Of intense heat which caused six
deaths and upwards Of. q score Of
prostrations, severe electrical, wind
and hail storm visited this city and
western Pennsylvania last night. Wire
communication to many points is in
terrupted but from meager informa-
tion fltering it, It appears that much
damage resulted from the storm
throughout the northern portion Of
the state.

STORM NOT ABATING.

Paris, June 12.-The storm raised

Senator Lat'ollette has fully vim

skeptical that ho knew what he was
talking about when he uttered the
following prophetic words in his
speech on the railroad bill on April 10,
1906. during WHICH speech Aldrich.
Hale and others left the room in order
to show their Indifference and con-
tempt for the new senator. Senator La
Toilette spoke as follows:
Mr.. President, l pause in my re-
marks to say this: / cannot be wholly
Indifferent to the fact that Senators ny
their absence at this time Indicate
their want of interest in what may
have to say upon this subject The
public is interested Unless this i'm
portant question is rightly settled
seats now temporarily vacant may
be permanently vacated by those who
have the right to occupy them at this
time
The results of the recent election
have fully borne out Mr.. LaFollette's
prophecy, and number of seats are
now occupied by some one else. 1t
there ever was man in public life
that IS heart and soul for the rights
of the people it is this much snubbed

The supreme court OF the United
States has declared valid the bank
guaranty laws of Oklahoma, Nebraska
ana Kansas. This idea which while
not original with Bryan, received
great strength and popularity through
his advocacy. is now legally estab-
lshed. With the endorsement of the
supreme court several states will now
follow the example of the three pro-
gresslve states. Minnesota 'ought not
to be a laggard. We hope to see bill
for such purpose introduced during the
present session OF the Legislature.
Closer and more frequent inspection OF
banks would be necessary under such
legislation, but that would be splen-
did thing, and would help to raise the
general banking standard. Banks are
given certain privileges in the interest
of the general public, not primarily
that money be made at the expense of
the public. Broad minded bankers re-
cognize this, and while of course their
capital would not be invested IT there
were no hope of returns, at the same
time they see that banking rightly
conducted, is something more than a
money making mechanism, but one of
the greatest factors in the . harmonious
development Of commerce and in
dustry. s., 49,. ...s l.r.,,. =.

Springfield Republican IF Theodore
Roosevelt's "corkiug time in the
presidency was to any extent paid for
by the railroads, the country ought to
know 1t. to the end that the lesson he
emphasized In public manner that the
work of reform properly begins at
home. 1t has been stated and not
denied that President Roosevelt 8
travels cost the Pennsylvania and other
railroads large sums OF money not only
in ordinary transportation casts, but
for a merry living enroute tor himself
and coterie of officials and friends
Such an alleged abuse of the enforced
hospitality of railroads by any part of
the federal government is a proper
subject of congressional inquiry. and
thus 1t is to be expected the Rainey
resolution will be adopted by the
