FLYING BOAT CRUISE ON.
FIVE AVIATORS START ON 900.
 MILE RELIABILITY TRIP.
United States Is Watching Test-Big Crowd on Chicago Lake Front
 Witness Start.

Chicago, July 9.-A light breeze that scarcely ruffled the surface of the lake, cloudless skies and the weather mans word that "all is we'll" greeted the entrants in the 900-mile Chicago to-Detroit flying boat cruise when they sped out over the lake in the final tests before starting the long re- liability run.
 The five aviators who started on the first leg to Michigan City, Ind, were:
 Tony Jannus, flying a Benoist.
 Beckwith Ravens and Logan Villas, in a Curtiss machine.
 Walter Johnson in Thomas.
 Roy I. Francis in a Patterson.
 Seven of the 12 original entrants did not start. Accidents that damaged the craft of Glenn l.. Martin and Vel don B. Cooke at the eleventh hour, caused Cooke to cancel his entry and Martin to postpone his start two days. Inability to get their craft out of the factories halted the other entrants.
 The race is the first reliability race for flying boats, and it brought out the latest designs in heavier-than-air craft that are equally at home in the air and on water. The prize is handsome silver trophy cup, but the entrants hope to reap other rewards through exhibition events at cities along the route, where they are sched- uled to check in. Although the gov ernment was not known to have sent any representatives here to watch the boats, they are being watched at long distance, and there is probability that the war department will negotiate with the owner of the boat that stands the trip best for hydro.aeroplane for the government.

Two More Workers Missing, Bringing Coal War Death List Above 50
 Within the Year.

Charleston, w. Va, July 9.-Sheriff Bonner Hill sent endorsements to the Ohlney Mining camp, a Consoli- dated Coal company property on Cabin Creek, where nearly 1000 shots were fired at the camp from the hillsides. Firing began when 40 men who had refused to join the strikers were leav- ing the mine, and continued through out the night.
 After a conference with Gov Hat field. the sheriff decided to make ey- cry effort to handle the situation with out appealing to the governor for help Two miners are reported miss ing by Harry Davis, superintendent ot the mine. They may have been added to the coal war death list which has mounted above 50 in year.

TREASURY OFFICIAL SAYS Ex- TENT OF ENHANCEMENT
 WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
KUHN SAVINGS BANK HAS RUN
Institution Allied With Suspended Banks Pays $50 to Each Depos- itor, But Requires Legal Notice
 for Larger Amounts.

Washington, July 9.-John Skelton Williams, assistant secretary of the treasury, who represented Secretary McAdoo at the closing of the Pitts burg First-Second National bank, de- clared the institution had been se- riously mismanaged and the extent of the mismanagement would be deter mined by the department of justice"
 United States Attorney Jordon, at Pittsburg, and a special agent of the department of justice probably will make the contemplated inquiry.
 Officials now are giving particular attention to the discrepancy between the sworn report of the bank to the comptroller of the currency on June 4 and the financial statement as pub lished in the Pittsburg newspapers. The report to the comptroller showed nearly $2000,000 in re-discounts, or borrowed money, but it was omitted from the published statement. The national bank act requires the publi- cation of the statement in the form submitted to the comptroller.
 Treasury officials reiterated their confidence that the general banking condition in Pittsburg and the entire country was sound and strong and that the failure of the First-Second National bank was simply the collapse of a weak spot, due, as they phrased it, to ''unsound banking"
 The entire capital and surplus of the First-Second, amounting to $5,500,- 900, probably has been wiped out, but but officers of the bank have assured the government that depositors will be protected in full CT nearly in full.
 No unusual incidents were observed about other banks of the city with the exception of the Pittsburg Bank for Savings, another bank controlled by J. s. Kuhn and w. s. Kuhn, who con trolled the majority of stock in the two banks that heretofore suspended.
 The run on the savings institution was resumed, possibly in somewhat larger magnitude, but the same meth cd as previously adopted was pursued All depositors were paid $50 at once and notice of 30, so and 90 days for larger amounts were required.
 With the assurance of several mill lions in cash and quick assets on hand, the run on this bank is not looked upon as likely to result se- riously; in fact, bankers with no inn mediate connections with the Kuhn institutions assert that the savings banks will weather the situation and make all payments as demanded, un- der the conditions imposed.

MlSSOURlAN DECLARES IT HAS BEEN SHOWN LEGISLATION
 WAS CONTROLLED.
EXPOSE WILL BE BENEFICIAL
Expects Similar Work In Future to Be Difficult, if Not Impossible, in Light of Facts Being
 Developed.

Washington, July 9-Senator Reed, the senate lobby Investigating com mittee, has analysed the evidence taken so far by that committee and has made public what he believed would be the result of these disclos- ures.
 The lobby investigation" he said, "and it's attendant disclosures have demonstrated what has long been sus- pected: That the great special inter ests have secretly and effectively di- rected and controlled legislation. l do not mean that all legislation has been thus controlled, but that the in terests have been potential infiu- ence is beyond question. Evidence plainly shows:
 T. That they have opposed the cleo tion of men known to be opposed to their plans and desires.
 "2. That they have secretly given aid and support, financial and moral, to those who have been subservient to their interests.
 8. That they have carefully and secretly affected public sentiment through carefully prepared news mat ter sent out through the press of the country.
 Propaganda With Connections.
 A. That with great skill they have carried on a propaganda with their business connections, and by this means sought to influence votes Of congressman.
 D. That they have maintained lob 1 byists in Washington whose business it has been not only to undertake to direct course of legislation and to oppose all inimical legislation, but to undertake to control the election of the committees of congress.
 ''6. In one instance at least, one of these interests, the woolen manufac- turers, succeeded in having appointed confidential clerk of the Repub- lican members of the finance commit tee of the senate the secretary of the Woolen Manufacturers association, who performed his work so satisfac- torily that he was presented by his employers, the woolen manufacturers, with $6,000.
 =. That the sugar interests of Ha- waii, Porto Rico, Louisiana and the beet sugar interests have made com mon cause to prevent a reduction of the tariff on sugar.
 "S That there is a community of interests between many of the pro- tected industries, and that there has been raised and expended directly and indirectly for the purpose of controll- ing public sentiment and affecting legislation many thousands of dollars.
 Every day is bringing new develop ments. Gradually the facts are being laid before the public No one can predict exactly what may yet be de- veloped, but as a result of this inves- tigation the lobbyist, having been ex. posed, will be discredited and his in iuence greatly lessened.
 Legislation also will be enacted which will render the work of the lob byist more difficult, if not impossible. In my opinion lobbyists will be re- quired to register and to present themselves before committee of congress in their true character"

Many Reforms Desired May bold Congress During
Many Months

Washington, D. c., March 17.-Cor-
gressional circles are keeping close
watch on the White House for any in
dication of change of sentiment to-
ward the consideration of other SUI
iects than the tariff at the special ses-
sion that it is to convene early next
month.
1t has become increasingly evident
with each passing day of the last
week that currency reform, Philippine
independence, Panama canal tolls, wo-
man suffrage and other leading issues
are to be forced upon the attention "
the country before the tariff session is
well begun and that it will be difficult
to withstand the pressure to have them
taken up for action before adjourn.

While the older members of bo.h
houses of congress are urging an early
adjournment of the approaching ses-
sion there are scores of new members
in the house and senate who are will

necessary, to secure legislative action
upon subjects in which they are inter-
ested.
President Wilson has had numerous
urgent appeals made to him to include
other things than the tariff in his pro
gram for the session. The impression
prevails among democrats at the cap

portunity to take up currency legisl"'

orchards no injury, Americas orchard
men stated, and the prospect of a
good crop remains promising, if n1

There was a decided drop in temper

the point where the orchards would
sustain injury.
While there was no ice, or even frost
much fear was expressed all over the

during the night kept off the frost and
at the same time, dried the peach
