EXCITING RUNNING BATTLE
Young Farmer Compelled to Drive

Meets Death in Battle.

Omaha, March 1.-two of the con

alias Shorty Gray, who escaped las
Thursday from the state penitentiary
at Lincoln, and Roy Blunt, an innocent
victim of their murderous attempt tc
procure liberty, are dead as the result
of an exciting battle between the ban
dts and officers of the law.
Charles Morley, the third member
of the trio which escaped from the
state prison after killing three officials
of that institution, saved his life by
surrendering to the officers, with
whom he had fought a running battle
over two and a half miles of country
with horses On the gallop.
The three escaped convicts were
within striking distance of the goa
which they hoped might make them
safe when the final desperate struggle
for liberty occurred. They had GOV.
cred the stretch from Lincoln to with.
in ten miles of the Omaha city limits
where they had expected to receive
the protection of friends.

THIRTY Two KILLED
AND FIFTY INJURED
Exploding Locomotive Boiler Ter.
rib|y Mang|es Victims.

San Antonio, Tex, March 19.-At
least thirty-two men were killed and
parts of their bodies strewn for blocks
around in the explosion here of a big
Southern Pacific passenger locomotive.
Twenty of the bodies have been identi-
fled. but what is believed to be twelve
more is little more than a tangled
mass that probably never will be
separated into the dozen humans it
represents.
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by ~carelessness of some one of
the men killed in permitting the water
in the boiler of the locomotive to get
too low. The engine was practically
new. 1t was in the shops for inspec-
ton.
Besides the thirty-two believed to
have been killed fifty persons ware in
jured. These for the most part were
in remote sections of the buildings
wrecked, for those close to the engine
or in the main parts of the buildings
either were killed outright by the ex-
plosion or crushed by falling material
when the buildings crumbled. The
damage to buildings will be about
5000 900.

RIVER REPORT is ADVERSE
Skunk Against Improvement of Red by
Water STORAGE Reservoirs,

An adverse report from Colonel
Francis R. Skunk OF the proposed i'm
provement Of the Red River of the
North by the construction of water
storage reservoirs vas submitted to
congress by the secretary of war.
ut would be practicable to store.
water during high stages and release
it during periods Of lower water to the
advantage of the Red river" the re-
port says. "The question presented,
however, is whether resulting benefits
would be sufficient to justify the cost
OF construction and subsequent main
tenance. The country is we'll supplied
with railroad transportation. AS there
is no final or permanent market on the
river for wheat water transportation
is used simply to carry the wheat to
the nearest railway. Once within
reach of q railroad station there is no
further demand for the river.
Neither present nor prospective
commerce is sufficient to justify fur
Their expenditures than are required
under the existing project and there
fore it is inadvisable to undertake the
construction of storage reservoirs in
the interest Of navigation"

According to the messenger the

FREE SUGAR BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
Twenty-four Republicans Vote
With the Democrats.

Washington, March 16.-The Demo-
cratic free sugar bill passed the house,
1913 to 1O3. Its passage was helped by
twenty-four Republican votes, al
though this was offset by the detection
of seven Democratic votes against the
bill by members from Louisiana and
Colorado.
At the last moment Representative
Martin, one of the Colorado members,
blocked an attempt to fix plans for
consideration of the excise tax bill,
which through taxation Of incomes is
expected to make up the revenue lost
by the free sugar measure.
The debate was marked by occasion
al flashes of extreme bitterness on
both sides. The members from sugar
producing states accused their col
leagues of working ruin to the sugar
industry, while Republican progress
sives seized the opportunity to give
their tariff views.

GREAT STRIKE
SEEMS LIKELY
Negotiations Between Operators
and Men Broken Off.
men WILL QUIT ON APRIL |
General Suspension of Work in Both
the Anthracite and Bituminous
Fields Predicted.

New York, March 16.-The United
Mine Workers Of America and the
committee of ten anthracite coal op.
orators ended negotiations here in a
deadlock. Both sides declare they
are standing firm-the miners for
sheir demands of 20 per cent increase
in wages, recognition of the union, a
shorter workday and other conces-
sions; the operators for a %three-year
renewal OF the present agreement,
which terminates at midnight on
March 81. Unless an agreement is
reached by that date each side admits
100000 hard coal miners in Pennsyl.
vania will cease work.
If there is any chance of compro
mise before that date it failed of eX-
preston. President John P. White OF
the miners organization and his col.
leagues said they considered the case
hopeless, so far as avoiding suspen-
sion of work, and prepared to return
home.
After adjournment George F. Baer
notified President White that the oper-
ators' committee would meet the min
srs at any time, but regarded the de-
mands as impossible of concession.
Mr.. White replied that they were
equally impossible Of modification.
The executive committee and min
ers' national officers, at a meeting
later, decided to abide by their de-
mands.
No formal strikes will be declared,
President White said, until after the
policy committee meets in Cleveland
March 25. At that time the result of
the conference Of bituminous miners
and operators. scheduled for Cleveland
On March 20, will also come before
he committee. The bituminous miners
have asked for a 10 per cent increase
and the operators have offered to
make a new agreement reducing
wages 10 Per cent.

Lawrence, Mass, March 19.-Victo.
rious in their ten weeks strike 80, 200
textile operatives streamed back to
the mills.
There vas no disorder and except
for a misunderstanding between some
skilled operatives and the agents at
the Washington mill the day passed
as ~uneventful as if there had never
been a big industrial war here.
At the Washington mill, one of the
American Wooden company's institu.
tons, between $50 and $50 perchers,
speakers and operatives employed in
the burling department walked out in
a body about an hour after the open
ing. The? met and drew up resolu-
tons protesting against what they
claim is discrimination favoring those
who did not strike.
Although three classes of skilled
help mentioned declare they must be
shown proof that they will not be
disseminated against before they will
go back it is not feared that the diff
culties will last long.
