MORE GOOO TESTIMONY
FOR SPLIT LOG DRAG
Judge J. F. Gordon Tells Of I'm.
provement to Hopkins
County Roads.

Marion. KY, June 2s.-Circuit
Judge J. F. Gordon, of jacksonville,
talked entertainingly of the King
split log drag to crowd that filed
the court house. He told of what
had been done in Hopkins county.
He said Mr.. King visited that coun-
ty about year ago and gave
demonstration of the split log drag.
The people then took hold where he
left off and there are more than 800
miles of roads that are smooth as
floors and which remain in good
condition in bad weather.
Judge Gordon was very enthu
siastic in his description of the
roads resulting from the King
method. He told of a road out at
his own farm, road he has been
dragging for a considerable period.
1t seems that Judge Gordon himself
made King drag about seven
years ago and used 1t on his road
with success. But he could not get
the neighborhood to adopt the
practice until after the King meet
ing, at which the Hopkins County
Good Roads Association was organ
lied. Judge Gordon said his road
stays good all the time and it costs
nothing but a little work at the
right time.
you've got lot to learn" ex-
claimed Judge Gordon, when you
undertake to use a split-log drag
The highways of Hopkins county
are divided into short sections and
farmer placed in charge of each
section. These sections are from
two to four miles in length and will
be shortened as rapidly as possible,
because the authorities agreed with
Mr.. King in saying that mile OF
road is enough for one drag. Judge
Gordon told of meeting in one OF
the Magisterial districts. The log
drag was up for discussion; some
praised it and some found fault
with it. But the discussion stop
ped when Mr.. Hunter, a sawmill
owner, stated that he owned seven
sawmills. and that all but one or
them had been compelled to shut
down because of bad roads. That
the one which had continued in OPP
GRAFTON all winter was on the Ear
lington and st. Charles road, which
had been dragged and over which
he had been able to haul logs with
out Interruption Mr.. Hunter said
he could haul 1900 feet OF timber
with one yoke of oxen over the st.
Charles road. when the same load
would put the wheels in mud up to
the hubs on the other roads. This
testimony closed the controversy.

French Aviator Made Thrill ing and Successful EXpe- riment to Demonstrate an Approach is Being Made to Safety in Air
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 JUVISY, France, Sept. 1.-The dar- ing French aviator Pegoud. who on August goth made a parachute drop from his aerOplane at height of 900 feet accomplished a more re- markable feat today which at first sight appeared to have been a piece of extraordinary aerial acrobatics, but which experts declare, was an epoch-making experiment toward the attainment of safety in the air Pegoud caused his monoplane to de- scribe a gigantic letter "S" in the sky during which he was flying up side down for a quarter of a mile.
 The utmost secrecy was maintain ed prior to the test only a few be- ing present when Pegoud took the air. He mounted rapidly to a height of more than 5000 feet describing a curve Then the forward part of the machine was observed to incline to- ward the earth Through glasses the spectators saw the propeller slacken and the monoplane further decline until it was perpendicular and it seemed that nothing could stop headlong plunge.
 As the machine dropped swiftly the tail dipped again toward the earth and the pilot appeared head down ward Seconds, which seemed hours, passed. With an almost impercept- ible curve, the machine shifted it's course to a straight line with the pilot in the same position. How long he remained upside down, the anxious watchers could not deter mine but long enough to cause them to believe he could never right him. self
 | Presently the monoplane dropped | again and with a graceful curve it assumed erect position. Pegoud flew for a few minutes to and fro tiful spirals.
 1 Pegoud undertook to demonstrate that an ordinary aeroplane, not fit ted with any special life saving de- vice possessed much greater stabil- ity than is generally believed and experts are of the opinion that he succeeded brilliantly.

Senator Cummins Proposes Amendment to Tariff Bill Levying a Tax on Stock Exchange Gambling Oper- atiOnS

Iowa Senator's Proposal a Substitute for Clarke's Amendment Imposing a Tax on Dealings in Cot ton Futures
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPA1cHJ

WASHINGTON, Sept l. Short selling on the New York stock ex- change, the Chicago board of trade and the cotton and produce and stock exchanges generally were attacked by Mir Cummins in the senate today as one of the greatest vices" of the day and as a menace that threatens the industrial and financial strnegth of the country
 Supporting the amendment he had offered to the tariff bill, proposing ten per cent tax on all trades where the seller does not actually own the property sold. and backed by several other republican senators. he deliv cred vigorous criticism of stock and produce exchange operations and urg ed congress to do it's utmost to dis courage or prohibit fictitious trading which he characterized as gambling"
 MT Cummins' amendment was of fered as a substitute for the cotton futures tax proposed by Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, which would i'm pose a tax of a tenth of cent Q pound on all trades in cotton for future delivery. MT. Cummins insist ed that it was more important to restrict and prohibit fictitious trad ing in securities and general produce than simly to regulate cotton trading. The entire question of futures" was finally referred back to the finance committee for further consideration.
 Progress on the tariff bill today omitted consideration of many items in the chemical earthenware and oth CT schedules which had been passed over at the first reading of the measure. MT. LaFollette insisted that two items of the chemical schedule carried excessive duties. On one of tnese, dextrine, made from potato starch, the senator's suggestion was accepted and an amendment was in corporated in the bill reducing the duty from one-half cent a pound to one-fourth cent one cent a pound duty on chloratc of potash. LaFOllctte i'd, should be reduced to one fourth of d cent. He aded that an agree mcnt had been made with the pow der trust not to sell this article to the government
 If that's so, I should think it should go on the free list" declared OGorman. The committee took the paragraph under consideration.
 After three hours sharp debate tonight the democrats Of the senate finance committee decided to submit the most important amendments to the tariff bill which have not been acted up to a party caucus.
 Questions of higher rates than were originally proposed ou big incomes and the tax on stock exchange deals in "futures' will be left to the entire party in the senate.

 further compromise on the income tax feature of the bill and will face insurgents of the party tomorrow who are determined to fight for a four per cent tax oh incomes of $100, ,000 or over. five per cent on s250000 and ever, six per cent on $50O.OO and over. with a seven per cent on incOm aa tf over $1,000.000.

Unprecedented Deluge from Paradise Valley Fills Ari- zOna Canal Banks Full and Taxes Every Elmer gency Device
VALLEY ISOLATED:
 MAY BE FATALITIES
The Ranchers and Zanjeros Strive Nightly to keep Floods Under Control - Speed of Freshet It's Chief Danger

A swirling torrent broke through the north bank of the Arizona canal at midnight, mercifully saving the entire Ingleside coun- try from possible severe flood ing. The breaK went out five feet across in the first few sec onds, and the banks continued to dissolve under the strong effects of the powerful current. The break occurred opposite the Ingle- side club, just above the Arizona falls power plant The dyke that protects the southern bank near the plant had been the object of anxious study by the striving zanjeros, but the break for a while lessened the danger to the southern bank.
 Weeds and brush from the de- nuded banks of the Paradise washes were ths main worry of the fighting zanjero division. After the crest of the flood had arrived, the debris began clut- tering the gates, and often so choked them that the water rose back of the checks to an alarming extent. Heroic labor clearing away the brush alone saved the structures and banks in many in stances.
 Although the flood was appre- ciabIv checked in the Arizona ana Crosscut canals at midnight, its height had not diminished in the slightest Following the break at Ingleside, it was thought the wa ter would subside a little at the Crosscut head, but the report or the zanjero there says there was no diminution in the flow.
 Water which at one o'clocK was making the zanjeros at Glen dale watch their canal banks all came from the Paradise valley flood. and not from a second de luge via Cave Creek as was feared Had the storm been gen. eral over the region immediately north of Phoenix, the Cave Creek wash would have been giving trouble by that time
 Asplund closed the gates at Roosevelt as soon as he could get word to the dam. When the first sign of flood came, the gate keeper at Granite reef closed the main diversion gates and turned all water back into the river there, so the entire head at h. dian Bend and all points below was made up of flood water.
