Mr.. Arthur Huntington, tn,

Mr.. Arthur Huntington, the
new group manager for the
Iowa Nebraska Public Service
Company, with headquarters at
Missouri Valley, is a man of
broad engineering and business
training and if he is unable to
give the company's patrons the
service that they desire, it
would seem as though it would
be an impossible task for any
one, as no one could certainly
h4ve any better equipment,
naturally, or by education and
experience, than Mr.. Hunting
ton.
Mr.. Huntington started in
the electrical business at
Springfield, Ohio, in the fall of
1892, as lineman, afterwards
going into the plant as engi-
aeer. He was offered the
chief engineership of that plant
in 1894 but left the plant and
entered the Ohio State Univers-
ity, from which he graduated
n the year 1899.
During lie five wears he was
II college he vas employed by
he Columbus State Railroad
ompasy, as sec md engineer,
q what was then the largest
,ower plant in the State of
0hio.
After graduating from col
ege he went through the APP
,rentice course of the Westing-
Aouse Electric ard Manufacture
ag company, which at that
ime was a two year course.
From there he was sent out to
AXE temporary charge of a
)Iant at Evanston, ILL.,, which
vas a personal investment of
Mr.. George Westinghouse. He
vas at first superintendent there
a I'd g n rial manager of this
property. The latter position.
lie held until the plant was sold
20 the North Shore Electric
20, Mr.. Huntington being re-
served by Mr.. Westinghouse,
who took him to the Chicago
,ffice and used him in the sales
and engineering departments
until the fall of 1908 when he
vas sent to Omaha to open. the
Omaha office Of the Westing-
house Co.
In 1904, Mr.. Huntington as
sumed charge of the Cascade
Milling Company which, three
years later, was consolidated
with three properties and be-
came the Sioux Falls Light and
Power Company. With this
organization, Mr.. Huntington
vas general manager and chair
man of the executive board of
rustees. When he first went
to Sioux Falls. the company
was doing very small electric
business, with rather indiffer-
ant service. When Mr.. Hunt

Two Robbers Caught

M. D. Myers arrested two
men yesterday afternoon who
proved to be burglars who had
broken into a clothing store at
Ames, Iowa, Wednesday night.
A man from the firm of the H.
I. Cooke Clothing Co, was in
this city this morning and
identified the stolen goods
which amounted to about $500.
Mr.. Myers found them in the
railroad yards and as they were
dressed somewhat better than
the average tramp, he arrested
them on suspicion. They will
be taken back to Ames.

WAGE DEMAND Is BASED
ON HIGH COST OF LIVING
President of Street Railway Men
Shows Expense for Average
Chicago Family.

CHICAGO. November 1.-The opening
statement for the men at the first hear
ing Of the arbitration committee selected
to settle the differences between 5000
street railway employees and the com.
panies yesterday developed the fact thai
the mems fight for higher wages is to b.
based on the cost Of living.
International President w. D. Mahon
selected to present the case Of the union
submitted table showing that a family
Of five could not live on less than
N.134.44 a year In Chicago. No provi-
sion was made for Injuries Of any kind
or a. savings account.
The minimum and maximum scales OF
q cents and 80 cents an hour. he said.
would enable the men to earn $S39.50 and
$1.O95 q year. respectively, provided they
worked ten hours day and lost no
time.
Mahon submitted q new wage scale of
80 to IS cents an hour, which would
bring the earnings Of the men to a figure
in proportion with living cost as he fig-
ured IL.
An answer will be made by counsel for
the companies to the argument today.

tail of Sammy Jay. although its owner
seemed to have the voice of Sammy Jay.
Unc' Billy knew just whose tail 1t was.
Yes. sir, he knew that tail and 1t GER
tatnly did look good to Unc' Billy. He
was so tickled when he first saw 1t that
for a minute he couldn't say word.
Then he said:
"Doan yo'all think that yo'all have
joked enough"
That question stopped a cry OF Thief"
right in the middle. and two sharp eyes
looked down right into Unc' Billy's. Unc'
Billy was grinning as he hadn't grinned
since he welcomed his family from way

IS GREAT
CoIored Soldier Loses Less
Time Than White.
ANNUAL REPORT IS MADE
Total Death Rate in Army for Year
Lowest on Record, With
One Exception.
ANNUAL REPORT IS MADE

The colored soldier endures the hard
ships Of army life with less loss Of time
from active duty than the white enlisted
man. according to the annual report of
Surgeon General George H. Torney. The
non-effective rate of the colored soldier
was %. 49, while that of the white soldier
was 1890; the Porto Rican. 29.7S, and the
Filipino, 1886. The report likewise shows
that the white troops required the high
est average number of days treatment
for each case of disability. The Porto
Ricans had the highest rate for admis-
sions to hospitals and for deaths.
However. the constantly non-effective
rate, which the surgeon general says Is
the true measure Of the loss in efficiency
of the army from sickness and injury,
was SO. % per LOCO, the lowest non-ehect-
i've rate in the history of the army. The
deaths from all causes were 34S or
which 1914 were from disease. The total
death rate and that from disease are
both the lowest on record, except Tor
1910.
The admission rate for alcoholism In
the United States for the year 1911 was
2031. a material improvement over lne
preceding year, when 1t was Dol IL IL
stated that this rate has shown steady
diminution since 1907, following an
equally steady rise for eight years before

any year since 1870, except for the years
1895 and 1899, when the rates We're ap-
proximately rs and is per LOCO. AS those
were years of war, when such rates
are usually lower, they can hardly De

There were O,534 recruits examined,
as compared with %, 1873 for the preceding
year. OF each 1000 examined 5000 were
rejected, as compared with 94.62 for 1910
The number of foreign-born recruits is
less than last year, being 1854 per 1000
for 1911, as compared with 1855 for 1910
and 40 46 for 1909. The most marked
decrease in the proportion OF recruits

army was 4.72, as compared with the

rate for dysentery for our army was
higher than that for any other army,
except the British. For tuberculosis our
rate was lower than that for the Spanish.

that for the other countries mentioned.

SAYS HOCKIN GAVE TIP
TO Detective BURNS
Testimony of ]. A. G.. Badorf at the
Dynamite Conspiracy"
Trial.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 81
Sensational testimony that William J.
Burns a detective, was clipped off" as
to the identities of the dynamiters of
the Los Angeles Times building two
weeks after the explosion by a man now
on trial was given at the dynamite
conspiracy" trial today.
J.. A. G. Badorf, a special investigator,
who had been investigating the cause
of explosions for five years. testified that
Herbert S. Hockin admitted having
gotten in touch" with Burns.
Burns was in Los Angeles soon after
the explosion on October 1. 1910. The
Mcnamara brothers and Ortie E. Nc
Manigal were arrested six months later
after ten more explosions had taken
place.
Badorf testified Hockin had made adj
missions after he said to Hockin You
are a fool for giving all your informa-
tion to Burns and let him build up
reputation on information you give. II
you expect immunity why don't you go
to District Attorney Miller?
Conversation With Hockin.
The witness said Hockin, who is secre-
tary of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Ironworkers. and
one of the forty-five defendants on trial
with Frank NJ. Ryan. president of the
union, admitted that he contemplated
pleading guilty.
IT met Hockin in the lobby or the red
eral building when the federal grand
Jury was in session in the early part of
this year." said Badorf. II said to him:
I have been looking for you. as wanted
to ask you something. When did you
first get in touch with L. l. Jewel Of
Pittsburgh regarding that nitroglycerin
hidden in an old cooper shop at Roches-
fer PAP Hockin only smiled and did
not give a direct answer.
