as If he would take up the weapon it

Later. after he had forced himself
to go to work, a door slammed some
where in the dispatcher's end of the
building, and automatically his hand
shot out to the closed drawer. Then
he made his decision and carried 1t
out. Taking the nickel plated thing
from its hiding place and breaking it
TO eject the cartridges, he went to the
end door of the corridor, which opened
into the unused space under the raft

Lideerwood had found little difficulty
in getting on the companionablc side of
Dawson. so far as the heavy muscled.

family dinner table ut the Dawson cot

had followed as n matter Of course.

Iidgerwood had still less difficulty in
arranging to share BenSon's permanent
table welcome.
LidCerwood'S acceptance as a table

being Hospitality prompt, he was com

sight of the 300 miles Of demoraIiza-

the Red Butte Western suddenly laugh

the interval he had come to concur
very heartily in BenSon's opposition
to Gridley as Faith Dawson's possible
choice.
There was little to be done in this
field, however. Gridley came and went,
not too often. figuring always as a
friend Of the family and usurping no
more of Miss Dawson's time and at
tention than she seemed willing to
bestow upon him. Lidgerwood saw no
chance to obstruct and no good reason
for obstructing. At all events Gridley
did not furnish the reason.
After the storm broke there were
no more quiet evenings on the cottage
porch for n harassed superintendent.
Lidgerwood came and went as before
when the rapidly recurring wrecks did
not keep him out on the line. but he
scrupulously left his troubles behind

on the mesa.

SENATOR cUMMINS CRiTICIZEs
PRESIDENT TAFT.
Thinks His Canadian Reciprocity
Measure "Most Unfortunate Of
Legislation" Passed.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Asserting that

ly personal feelings for President
Taft but the nations chief executive
does not take the progressive" view,
Senator Albert B. Cummins in sign
ed statement printed in the Record
Herald today sets out in "Bill Of
particulars" the reasons why he thinks
Taft should not be returned to the
presidential chair. Among the other
things mentioned in Taft's arrange
ment, Mr.. Cummins points to the exec
utive,s position on the Canadian reci.
procity question.
That measure the senator calls "the
most unfortunate of legislation pass
ed within the period of the present
administration"
Topics Of current political discus.
sion from the PayneAldrich tariff law
to Tafts vetoes of the woolen bill and
statehood measures of New Mexico
and Arizona, including the recall of
judiciary, are taken up one by one by
Senator Cummins.
IN conclusion he AYERS that on all
vital things the allies and supporters
of Taft have been the reactionaries
and standpatters in the Senate and
House and says that if the Republican
party believes in perpetrating this
leadership it cannot do better than
nominate President Taft.
However, Mr.. Cummins says he
does not believe in it and is therefore
hoping for the nomination of a pro.
gressive Republican.

An added reason he said is that the

Referee Smith," Chief Schuettler,
explained proposed that the bets be
called off. His reason was that in
case the match turned out to be a
poor one as it did, there would be a

and that the wrestling game would re-
ceive a serious setback in Chicago

After asking Henry Clay Beatie, Jr.,

the translation of the same shot gun

cousin, on Saturday night, to the hands

tion ended its cross examination of
the prisoner today. The accused de-
MED that he knew his cousin Paul had
a gun on the Saturday night in ques-
ton or that he was with him during
that week.
The commonwealth thereupon be-
gan its attack upon the prisoners
story. The rebuttal was practically an
attempt to corroborate Paul Beattie
as to his alleged meeting with Henry
on Tuesday night to arrange for the
delivery of shot gun to his cousin on
the Saturday following.

A second point taken up by the
commonwealth was an assault on e.
H. Neblitt's testimony that Paul had
a shot gun on the bridge where he
worked on the Saturday on the night
following the alleged transfer of the
gun to Henry. Witnesses sustained
Paul that he had no gun at the bridge

Because of this honor, much senti.

it is with reluctance that the naval
officials have decided to displace her
as the flagship of the battle ship fleet
AS the Wyoming will have a displace-
ment of 10000 tons or 10000 tons
greater than that of the Connecticut,
the secretary of the navy has conclud
eo that the latter will be so far ont
classed that she must give way to
her mightier sister. While the Della
ware, North Dakota, Utah and rlori
da all are larger than the Connecticut,
the difference is not sufficient to
cause change in the flagship. The
Wyoming and it's twin, the Arkansas,
will be the greatest vessels afloat.

According to the present schedule,
the Wyoming will be finished July 2,
