SHOWED POLITICAL HONESTY
OkIahoman, Successful In Contested
Eiention, Withdrew In Favor
of Opponent.

Muskogee, Oklahoma.-In Haskell
coun y Two young lawyers, Foster ".
Phipps and Neil B. Gardner, were
Democratic candidates for county at
torney. 1t was a close race. When
the ballots were counted it was found
that Phipps had won by a nine-vote
majority. Gardner believed illegal
votes had been cast and the nomina-
ton his. He filed contest. A re-
count was ordered and Gardner had a
majority of three over Phipps. A
Gardner representative agreed with
the election board that the intent Of
the votes was sufficiently plain to
show that they wanted their ballot
cast for Phipps. Gardner learned Of
this, turned in the election certificate
rendered him and stated that he did
not want to accept the nomination.
This is the only instance, save one,
where a candidate made the primary
race, was nominated and then with
drew in favor of his opponent.

FIVE NEAR DEATH IN A TUNNEL
TRAIN STOPPED, CREW OVER
COME BY GAS FUMES.
Fireman on Northern Pacific "Pusher"
Proves Himself Hero, and Sue
ceeds in Rescuing all Alive.

Tacoma, Washington.-Faint and
dizzy from the fumes of coal gas in
the inky blackness of Stampede tun-
mel, John Denise, a fireman on the
Northern Pacific railroad, kept his
head, husbanded his strength and by
sheer grit saved five lives.
Denise was fireman on 'pusher,"
helping shove a heavy freight trac
through the tunnel. Midway the air
hose broke, the brakes set automatic
ally and the train came to standstill.
Searching for the break, the conductor
and brakeman were stupefied by gas
from the forward end and fell.
Half dead, the brakeman crawled
back to the rear end with word for
Denise. The latter ran 20 car lengths
to where the conductor lay. He was
too weak to carry the conductor, but
he dragged him back to the cab. There
he found his engineer stupefed and
the brakeman helpless.
1t was beyond his strength to lift
the conductor to the cab, so he left
him lying on the floor of the tunnel,
cut out the "pusher," and, with the en-
gineer and brakeman helpless in the
cab, shot for the west portal of the
tunnel.
Outside he found four Italina Sec
ton hands with a handcar They
helped him lift out the engineer and
brakeman, and then he drafted them
for another plunge into the gas filed
tunnel.
On the first trip they brought out
the conductor, still breathing. Back
they went again, reaching the forward
engine, where fireman and engineer
were both overcome. This time
Denise cut out the forward engine and
raced for the eastern portal.
There they met passenger train No.
S, stalled by the block signals. Con-
ductor O'toole turned his train into an
emergency hospital and brought
Denise and the five men he had saved
back to the Northern Pacific hospital
in Tacoma.

HOPPERS GET OKLAHOMA TOWNS
People Driven Into Homes at Tulsa
by lnsects-Stop lnterurban
Traffic at Sapulpa.

Tulsa, Oklahoma.-Tulsa was cap
tured by an army of grasshoppers.
The hoppers arrived early at night
and their approach was attended with
noise like hailstorm. They drove
people from the streets, forced an en-
trance into dwelling houses and made
life miserable for the occupants. BY
morning the streets were paved with
grasshoppers. Many people carried
umbrellas to protect themselves from
the pests. The grasshopper army
came from the north and is moving
southwark through the state.

AUTOMOBILE HAS p WING
French Motor Car 10 Driven In the
Same Manner as an
AeropIane.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles, by motor car driven by
a revolving wing, the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and Ia called
the winged car" has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, save that
in front 1t is shaped like the prov
of a ship. From the extremity OF
the Prov extends shaft to which fs
attached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by M. Filippi
The wing is small. strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage
The engine is of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. BY the side of the
driver is single lever which con-
tros the clutch and the forward and,
reverse movement Of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed of
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions Of the wing min
ute One curious feature was that ths
car made no dust.

MISSING BOY Was MURDERED
BODY OF CHILD FOUND IN KAN
SAS CITY PARK.
Head Was Crushed - Playnnates,
Closely Questioned, Tell Con-
ing Stories.

Kansas City, Missouri.-The search
for little Joseph Zimmerman, four
years old, carried on by relatives,
their friends, the police and the boy
scouts, ended when the body of the
child was found in the East Bottoms
murdered.
The skull had been crushed in as
if from being struck by stone and
an improvised grave held the childs
form.
Only few days before Joseph dis
appeared his playmates had locked
him IN the basement of nearby
church and were in the act of mailing
him in when Mrs. Zimmerman found
her son and released him. At other
times, relatives say, the playmates
mad abused him and thrown stones at
him.
Playmates of the dead boy who were
with him at the time of his disap-
pearance, have been taken to the East
Bottoms police station and were be-
ing questioned by the police. They
told conflicting stories.
John Farley and John Heinberger,
both 10 years old, finally admitted the
deed shortly after o'clock. They
said they alone were responsible.
The two boys sobbed out the con-
fession incident by incident, admitting
bit Of the deed, then denying it.,
then confessing again.
They said they stood at the top of
the steps on the Cliff drive and threw
stones down at Joe. The Zimmerman
boy was standing in the pathway
leading off from the head of the steps
about half way down. One stone hit
him on the head and he fell over.
The boys say they started to run.
Then they came back down the path
to him, saw that he was dead and to
cover up their deed carried him into
the underbrush.
Warrants, charging murder in the
second degree, filed in the juvenile
court, will be issued by the prose
cutting attorneys office, according to
the statement of Floyd e. Jacobs, first
assistant prosecuting attorney. The
two slayers, John Farley, 10 years
old, and John Hamburger, 10 years
old, are now being held at the Deten-
ton Home to await the return of
Judge E. E. Porterfield of the juve-
nile court. Their trials probably will
be in the Juvenile court Friday morn
ing, August 80. 1t is not customary
to have a trial by jury in that court,
although the law requires one If de-
manded by the defendant. The regu-
lar criminal court laws govern the
juvenile court.
