CROP LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Potatoes viii Not Be Drug on the
Market.

Washington, Sept. 13.-While pota-
toes will not be drug on the market
this year consumers need not fear
that there will not be enough to meet
demands In a special report on the
potato outlook L. c. Corbett of the
department of agriculture declared
that while the total harvest will be
less than last year it will be sufi-
cient to supply normal needs.
Indications are that Maine will pro-
duce the largest crop ever recorded,
while Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and North Dakota will harvest nor
NAL crop. The yields in Massachu.
sets, Connecticut, New York and
Ohio promise to be little. The aver
age condition of the crop is 10 per
cent below the ten-year average, but
about 10 per cent above the condt.
ton for the same season In 1911.

Colebrook. N. H., Sept. 13.-The
next legal battle in the case of Harry
K. Thaw will probably be at Concord,
N. H., before Governor Felker. The
fugitive's lawyers, learning that an
extradition warrant from Acting Gov.
srnor Glynn of New York was on the
way to the New Hampshire capital,
decided to defer arraigning Thaw in
police court here and to demand a
hearing OF the governor before he acts
on the matter of extradition.

In the meantime is here in the Gus.

He was to have been arraigned at
10 q. M, but his counsel, after trying
vainly to persuade William Travers
Jerome not to seize Thaw instantly
should the warrant from New York be
honored at once, deferred bringing
him into court on the ground that a
preliminary hearing would bring no
good results.
Citizens Are Impartial.
While residents of Colebrook are
svincing. great interest in the case
they have taken no open stand either
for or against the fugitive.
Shortly after rising and before going
to the barber shop to be shaved Thaw
issued formal statement summing
up his case and lamenting the fact
that New York state was spending so
much money on him.
The hearing was delayed by con.
ferences between counsel for both
sides. Each feared to make a move
on the theory that If the fugitive were
released the situation would resolve
itself into physical struggle. -
Counsel for the fugitive agreed to
waive the hearing here, provided

MAY MAKE ROADS
Use STEEL CARS
Interstate Commerce Commission
May Demand New Form OF Re-
port From Railroads
STEEL CHEAPER THAN LAWSUITS
Congress Make Fix Date When Cars
Made Of Wood Will Be Prohibi-
tive Says Tavenner
BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.

washington, september l3-One
result of the recent New Haven
wreck is that it has brought Con
gress to the realization that the gov
eminent has no official statistics on
the number of steel railway coaches
now in use. Without such data Con
gress will be hampered in it's eff
fort to pass remedial legislation. OF
course bill can, and probably will,
be passed forbidding railroads to
buy any more wooden passenger
cars, but without any official knowl-
edge of the percentage of cars now
in use which are of wood, it will be
difficult to set the number of years
IN which all wooden cars must be
retired from service.
AS a result of this lack of infor-
nation, it is announced that the In
torstate Commerce Commission will
provide new form of report for
r: ilroads to make-one which will
show the exact number of steel and
wooden cars owned and in opera
ton by each road. If this informa-
tion can be collected quickly, the ma
tional legislature will have the data
on which to base legislation to be
passed during the regular session
next winter. l
Figures from private courses,
however, are available, and they
show that the use of the steel car
has hardly yet begun. Practically 80
per cent of all railway passenger
coaches today are of wood construc-
ton, ready to splinter and collapse
in each wreck. OF more than $1,000
passenger coaches operated Il, on all
railroads OF the country, only $500
are built entirely of steel. And of
these steel cars, one road, the Pen
sylvania, operates 2,972, or nearly
half of the total all-steel equipment.
These are significant figures, in
dicating the peril to the American
travelling public today. Without leg
islation it would be years before
these dangerous cars were all retired
from service. Only one road has seen
the necessity for this sort of equip
ment. Some of the other roads are
still investing in new wooden cars
although nearly all the new cars be-
ing built are of steel.
The Pennsylvania learned about
two years ago that steel cars are
cheaper in the long run than person
al injury lawsuits. A fast train run
ming between Philadelphia and New
York was derailed while running at
a speed considerably faster than a
mile a minute. Had the train been
composed of wooden cars it would
have piled up and crumbled when
the trucks struck the ties. But this
was an entirely steel train. It
bounded along the ties for a dis
lance of a mile or more before mo-
mentum was lost and the train
brought to a standstill. Among the
passengers there was not single
serious injury. Most of the passen-
gers were entirely unhurt. Since
then the Pennsylvania has invested
$40,O00,O00 in steel car equipment

MANY HERE FOR FAIR
Passenger Trains Loaded With
Bemidji Visitors

For the past three days the pas
senger trains entering Bemidji have
been crowded to their capacity and
when they pulled out of the city only
a few remained in the cars. Every
train brought hundreds to Bemidji
to attend the fair. Blackjack and
points along the north line appear to
have made the best showing by COM
ing to the fair, but every community
is well represented in Bemidji.
