ENGLAND is FACING
BIG RAILWAY TIE-UP
People Now Realize That the Nations
Industries Are Rapidly Nearing
Condition Of Paralysis
London's Idle.

England al the present time is con
fronted with a railroad tie-up that
threatens Ia spread throughout the en-
tire country unless some means can
be found TO secure an immediate sup
ply Of coal Word from Dartmouth Is
10 tho effect that The packets in the
channel service also will be discontin-
ucd for the same reason
Already 2,223 freight and passenger
trains have been discontinued, OF
vh.eh number 70i were on the time
table OF a single road Many stations
are being closed because Of the lack
OF traffic
The British people have really
awakened az last 10 the seriousness
OF the situation and the fact that the
curtailment Of the nations industries
because OF the coal miners strike is
rapidly approaching a condition OF
paralysis.
Coal has advanced in London 2
shillings a ton and at Blafast the price
has advanced as high as shillinGs. or
to 81 shllllngs a ton. A German to'-
pedo boat there was forced 10 pay 40
shillings to get fuel enough TO leave
port
Besides the more than million OF
miners who are out on strike II is es-
tlmated that 225. 500 men In other lines
OF activity are idle, while l,425.000
others have been served with notice
that their services will not be needed
within a short time
Entire industries which ordinarily
employ hundreds Of thousands OF men
have suspended operations. and those
who have been thus thrown out Of
work include cotton spinners. railway
men, longshoremen. iron and tin plate
workers. besides a variety OF other
trades
In the Manchester district alone
10000 mon have been notified that
hey will be out OF employment, while
Il is probable that $4,000 more Will be
laid off within few days in South
Lancashire.
II is regarded that in the city OF
London 100000 men will be forced 10
give M their jobs on account OF the
coal miners strike.
For the first time since 1888 not a
ton OF coal came into the city during
the entire day.

OF commons that the government was
unanimously in favor OF minimum
wage scale being provided for the Goa

TRIES TO SAVE l0RIMER
Hanecy Files Brief Likening
Senator TO Martyrs.

The probing Of the election OF Lori
mer is characterized MS an inquisition
and the junior senator from Illinois is
lillened to historical martyrs Of church
and nation In voluminous brief filed
with the special senate Investigation
committee by Attorney Elbridge
Hanecy. Bitter arraignment is made
OF the four confessed bride takers OF
the Illinois legislature. OF the private
detective and other agencies in the
work. and OF what is characterized as
popular clamor" demanding that Sen
ator Lorimers seat be vacated
The brief covers two arguments:
First, the doctrine OF res adiudicata
the vote In the senate Of aG 10 40
which Is that the case was settled by
March I, 1911. exactly a year ago,
and, second. that the evidence heard
sis incredible, worthless and incom-
po,ent.'
The bitter and sensational allega.
tiors in the brief come when Attorney
III, necy expresses his opinion OF the
evidence produced TO prove Senator
Lorimer's seat was obtained by fraud
and corruption.
That Senator Iorimer and his coun.
sci do not intend to rest with the de.
cision OF the committee ie indicated

UNIQUE CONTESTS
SPOKANE FAIR.
All Sorts Of Competitive Tests
Have Been Planned.

Any kind OF a genuine contest, from
foot race to an aeroplane race, is al
ways interesting, and the Spokane Fair
management, approaching this, have
arranged for all sorts Of competitive
stunts to be pulled off during Interstate
Fair week. Sept 80 to Oct. g. or
course the horse races are the main
events, and SIT 500 is offered In purses
for the horsemen, but the amateur fire
mems tournament, the miners rock
drilling contest and the lumbermen's
log chopping contest will be sure
enough exciting.
A long list of prizes has been ar
ranged for the tlremen. Any town can
enter team, and many of the Inland
Empire cities have agreed to have their
best men there. Five hundred dollars
Is given for two hand rock drilling
exhibition, and the best men from the
Occur d'Alenes, from Butte, from the
boundary country and even from Ne
Fada are expected. 1t is a real novelty
to see these men, trained athletes all,
drive steel drill forty to fifty inches
into solid granite in fifteen minutes,
hitting fifty to sixty strokes a minute
and changing the long steels without
losing a stroke.
The log chopping is a new idea, but
the woodsmen who have it In charge
are sure it will be as exciting as any
Of the other features, and there should
be plenty of good choppers In the In.
land Empire who will take a chance to
win the $3.50 offered.
Races at night by the light Of the
mammoth searchlights are another fea-
ture, tried first In 1911 with great sue
cess and to be repeated this year. The
night chariot races are especially ex-
citing, as the chariots are covered with
fireworks, which serve the double pur
pose Of lighting the race and exciting
the four horses which draw each We.
hicle.
And another contest, perhaps not as
exciting. but surely of more practical
good, Is the milk test, in which many
of the prize milk cows of the north.
west will contend. Full particulars
concerning all these contests may be
had by addressing Robert Fl. Cosgrove,
secretary of the Spokane Fair.
