PEkIN, ILL.,, LABoRER WAS PRlS-

Huge Caisson Sunk Holding Him

Peoria, Illinois. - After having
been imprisoned for 25h hours at the
bottom of a 35-foot caisson beneath
the surface of the Illinois river in the
excavations being made for a new
railway bridge near Pekin, ILL.,, F. J.
Schmidt was hauled to the surface
with a derrick and expired within FIVE
minutes.
Thursday evening, at s o'clock
Schmidt with three fellow workmen
started to leave the bottom of the
caisson where they had been working
under compressed air. His three COM
panicns reached the surface, but the
huge caisson suddenly sank into a
strata of quicksand, pinning Schmidt's
legs beneath it as it went down. He
was dragged into the quicksand, held
by the tremendous weight of the great
steel tube, up to his neck.
Scores Worked at Rescue.
Scores of ~rescuers, working one at
a time, in shifts which changed every
few minutes, worked frantically for
hours to dig him out. All night long
and all day they tore and dug at the
shifting earth. Schmidt was given
nourishment. At times he chatted
with his Once he smoked a
cigarette. While apparently suffering
no pain he shrieked with agony when
workmen attempted to haul him from
under the great caisson by the Shout
ders.
Finally it vas decided to try a der
rick. Opiates were administered by
a physician and a rope attached to
the unfortunate mans body. On a
signal to haul away, Schmidt's body
was torn from its trap and hauled
to the surface. He died without re-
gaining consciousness. Both legs were
terribly lacerated and several ribs
broken.

for a week past, it is now admitted
was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General Booth IN.
derwent an operation for the removal
OF a cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
justified the hope of the generals re-
covery. Then, however, septic poison

which was deposited with the Saliva

that 1t should not be opened until aft

TOLL CUT
When Receipts Increase the Rates Are
Reduced.

Paris, France.--In reply to reports
cabled here from America stating
that a canal rate war was predicted in
Washington and that this would in
volve all the maritime nations of the
world, the Suez Canal company au.
thorized the following statement:
For many years the Suez Canal
company has pursued a policy by
which every time its dividends have
increased the tolls have been re-
dueed."
The Suez Canal company at its an
nual meeting in Paris on June 3 re-
ported an increase of $4,000 in its
receipts compared with the preceding
year, the total for 1911 being $27,-
762, 900. This, it is said, at the meet
ing, justified a further reduction in
the duty on vessels which would go
into force next January.
The reduction in tolls amounts to
10 cents per ton.

R08EER ADMITS 2 HOlDUPS
OUTLAW CAPTURED IN KANSAS
DID JOB IN RED BLUFFS.
Declares He Forced Clerks to Pick
Out Registered Mail for
Him.

Topeka, Kansas. - The daring
hold-up of the Union Pacific mail train
near here Thursday night was not
the first big robbery Wells Lounsberry
of Medford, Ore, had executed. As
he lay on a cot in the hospital here,
seriously wounded, Lounsberry con-
fessed he held up a Southern Pacific
train in a similar manner last Janu.
airy at Red Bluffs, Cal.
His operations then were similar to
those used Thursday. The robber said
in the California hold-up he boarded
the train at Red Bluffs and forced
the three mail clerks to pick out the
registered mail for him. At Redding,
he boarded a Pullman on the same
train and escaped detection. A re-
ward of $4,000 had been offered for
the capture OF the Red Bluffs rob-
Der.
The failure TO put off mail at Law
renee led to Lounsberry's capture.
When the train passed through there
and the pouches were not forthcom-
ing an investigation disclosed the
mail clerks bound and gagged. Word
of the robbery then was telephoned
to Topeka. where the robber was cap.
tured.
1t is said at the hospital that Louns-
berry will recover.

road. He is a son of Colonel Louns-
berry. who was early identified with

HOLDS
LEGISLATURE UNABLE TO COME
TO AGREEMENT AFTER HOURS
OF WRANGLING.
BILL MAY CAUSE FIGHT.
Deficiency Measure and Amendment
to Penrose Resolution Expected
To Delay the Adjourn
ment.

Washington, ID. G.. A few score
weary members of congress, and an
impatient president of the United
States confront an unprecedented
governmental situation following Sat
urday nights prolonged and fruitless
struggle to adjourn the session Of
congress. The outlook for this weeks
sessions Of house and senate promised
an even more chaotic legislative con-
dition than obtained in the fight that
began Saturday morning and contin-
ued until nearly church time Sunday.
Disguised with adjournment failure,
many members of the senate took
early trains for their homes. Senator
Penrose predicted that there would
be much less than a quorum in the
senate the early part of this week.
aEd house leaders were satisfied that
that body would be nearly 40 mem
bers short of the number necessary
to transact business. .
FiIIibuster May Be Renewed.
The double flibuster which compell-
ed the abandonment of the plan to
end the session of congress is ex-
pected to be renewed when the houses
r~e-convene.
Senator La Toilette made known to
friends that he would insist upon a
record vote On the adoption Of the
Penrose resolution for an investiga-
ton of campaign contributions Of the
Standard Oil company in 1904 and Of
the correspondence between John d.
Archibald, George w. Perkins and
members of congress.
Senator Chamberlain who led the
other senate filibuster, the object Of
which was to force the house to agree
to the payment of $780, 00 of old
state claims, will have the support of
many senate Democrats if he renews
his insistence to hold congress unit,
these claims are paid. The house lead
ers are determined to fight the claims
until December" if necessary.
Trouble Ahead.
Either of the senate flibusters hold
trouble for any plan of adjournment.
If Senator La Toilette should insist
on a record vote, it would become
necessary to secure a quorum. In
such an event he could hold the SEN
ate indefinitely because ii would again
be unable to make an adjournment
agreement with the house.
The general deficiency %appropria-
ton bill is agreed to on all points
except the 100000 of claims demand
ed by Virginia, Maryland, Oregon
and Texas and the extra months pay
for employees of the house and SEN
ate. Chairman Fitzgerald of the house
conferees, renewed his declaration
that under no circumstances would
the house concede the payment OF
any Of these.
A bare quorum of senators was in
Washington up to the adjournment
failure, and less than a quorum voted
on each proposition brought before
that body during the night.
Half a dozen senators slept in their
chairs through the latter part of the
session, others wandered YEARLY
about the senate wing Of the capital,
from the chamber TO committee rooms
and back again. About three O'Clock
the senate restaurant ran out of food
and the senate went hungry.
