MACK BROKE JAIL

q. F. Mack who was arrested fo1
stealing clarionet from w. D. Rey,
nolds broke jail Thursday evening
late. Deputy Sheriff Fountain as is
his usual custom, went to the Jail
before retiring, to see If everything
Was all right. He called to Mack and
inquired If he was all right but re.
ceiyed no answer. This reused Mr.
Fountain s suspicion and he opened
the door leading to the cells and
went In and found that their bird
had flown Mr.. Fountain Immediately
notified The authorities east of this
city and Mr.. Mack was apprehended
at Shoshone. Mr.. Fountain left this
morning for Shoshone to bring the
fugitive back. 1t is believed that
Mack had outside help to push back
the heavy iron bolt, which could not
possibly be done by the prisoner.
Workmen have been at work install
ling lavatory and sewer pipes and
had cut hole in the floor in order
to work. Someone on the outside
must have crawled through this hole
and pulled the iron bolt and set the
prisoner. free

IRA BLACK DIES IN HILLS
Was Working at the Nellie T. Mine
on SHELTON Creek-lnterment
Near Scene Of Death

Word reached Soldier the first of the
week that Ira Black, well-known
miner and prospector had been found
dead in the cabin of the Nellie T..
by Martin King, who is doing work
on his property on Bear Creek. The
deceased was last seen Friday, and it
Is presumed that death occurred that
evening, his body having been found
by Mr.. King Saturday.
The cause of death was not deter
mined, but the deceased had been
SICK for several months past, never
having fully recovered from an attack
of pneumonia which he had last
winter
On receiving word Harry Gorby,
an old friend, in company with Oscar
Naser left Bear Creek to bring the
body to Soldier, but it was thought
best to bury the body and that was
done near the cabin where he was
found.
Mr.. Black had been engaged in
mining north of Soldier for several
seasons, and Glenns Ferry was his
home. His only relatives live in
Colorado, having moved there last
winter. They were notified of his
death. h.-Camas Prairie Courier

KUHN VISITS GATE CITY

w. S. Kuhn of Pittsburg, himself
a millionaire, and man who repre-
sents unlimited additional millions, is
in Pocatello today, having come up
form Salt Lake to meet former Gov
ernor James H. Brady, who arrived
late this afternoon from Boise. Mr.
Kuhn and his brother have invested
millions in Idaho irrigation projects
being financial hackers of the TwiI
Falls north and south side projects
the Salmon river project, and the pre-
posed Bruneau project. The object
of the conference between Mr.. Kuhn
and Mr.. Brady has not been made
public, but it is supposed to have
something to do with the former gov
ernor's big Mountainhome project
and his immense hydro electric plant
at American Falls.
Mr.. Kuhn, follow ing visit to
Twin Falls and an inspection of the
great tract there, went to Boise on
business, passing through to Salt
Lake yesterday, and returning this
morning.
There is a rumor current in Poca-
tello that the Kuhns and Governor
Brady are planning to revive the
Lost River project, which last year
fell into financial bad ways.-Poca-

financiers ayed in the panic of 1907
are covered in the report and the in.
s snuation is made that the panic was
an ar # c.al one designed for the bene,
tit of the steel corporation.
In its comment the committee says;
"How panic which had persis-
tently resisted the combined efforts
of the federal government and John
d. Rocke eller and ]. P. Morgan and
Co., and remained in unabated fury

turned loose $60,000,000 and the fed

laton Of Grant B. Schley's loans has
not been explained either by. Mr..
Roosevelt or by any other witness.
Yet 1t is urgently maintained that
the panic continued prior to this
magical scoop Of securities and that
the instant the steel corporation
acquired the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company s stock it subsided instant
ly and permanently.
The committee reports that on Oc-
tober 26, 1897 President Roosevelt
issued statement congratulating
Secretary Cortelyou and the business
m n who headed off the panic. The
committee says this:
"Up to the time of this interview
the Steel corporation owed its sue
cess and it's permaner cy to the power
and the sAill of the financiers who
had created and the ironmasters who
directed its operations. Since
that time its dominance has been due
in no small measure to the sudden
Ill considered and arbitrary fiat of
the chief executive.

ROOSEVELT HELD RESPONSIBLE


Was ington, d. c., Aug. 2.-J. P.
Mo gan and associates are represent
ed as making enormous profits by
stock wa ering and former president
Roosevelt is charged with being re-
spon5iole for making absolute the
trusts" control of the steel indus
try in the ajsrily report of the Star
ley eel trust investigating committee
presented to Congress today.
The report was presented by Rep
resentati g Stanley of Kentucky,
chairman of the committee appointed
by congress more than a year ago to
investigate the United States steel
corporation.
Stocks of subs diary companies wele
ode uged" with wafer before the
companies were taken over by the
corporation and additional enormous
sums We're realized by the promot
ers in the formation of the main
company, the report asserts:
Judge E. H. Gary and his dinners
to eel manufacturers are credited
with scheme by which prices and
ter. itory were controlled by the steel
trust after pooling agreements were
discarded.
The United States steel corpora
ton is flayed as an enemy of organ
lied labor accused of lowering the
social cond tions of its employees and
of contributing to American industry
workmen and work methods un-Ame
lean and foreign to the best interests
OF labor.
The activity of the corporation in
litics IS lad bare and it's influence
described, and the steel trust as
tariff beneficiary and it's part in the
making Of the Payne -Aldrich tariff
act are touched upon by the demo
Gratis.
The enormous earnings of the steel
corporation are due not to degree
of integration of efficiency not pos
sessed by its competitors, but to the
ownership of ore reserves out of all
proportion to its output requirements
and to the control and operation of
common carriers, divisions of rates,
and the liberal allowances obtained
from other concerns through inequit-
able and incrdinate terminal allow
ances. The business of production
and transportation should be abso-
lutely separate and distinct and no
industrial concern should be per-
mitted to own or operate an inter.
state carrier.
Favor Three Bills
The legislation recommended by
the majority consists of three bills;
One of them commonly known as
the Brandeis bill, is designed to
give an injured party the right to
institute suit to prevent the organ
