Member of Pleasure Party Gets
Tangled in Moss at Bottom
of Deep Hole.

Onawa. Ia, June 22.-Roy McCurrn
aged Ii years, was drowned at Blue
lake, three miles west of here, last
evening. McCurrn was a nephew OF
Clifton Clark, of Whiting, and lived al

large pleasure party that came down
to Blue lake to spend Sunday.
In the latter part of the afternoon
McCurrn and several others went over

in a row boat At that place McCurrr
dove into Dot IL feet of water, from
the end of the boat, and became tangled
IN some weeds at the bottom. Although

several on the west side, near the
swimming hole, he was not reached

ROADS LOSE RATE FIGHT.

Washington, June 23.-The supreme
court today reversed the
court and upheld the i~ntermounta1n
rate order of the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Justice White first decided that the
lone and short haul clause was con-
Stitutional.
The commerce court had held that
the commission could not make blanket
or zone rates. That is the contention
of those who are opposed to the 5 per
cent increase in freight rates now be-
ing asked by the eastern railroads.
The chief justice next upheld the
making of rates by the commission, by
zones. o
The zones selected by the commits
sion We're in substance the same as
those previously fixed by the carriers,
as the basis of the rate making which
was included in the tariffs which were
under investigation and therefore we
may put that subject out of view" said
he.
Indeed, except as to question of
power, there is no contention in the
argument as to the inequality of the
of the percentages or as to any
undue preference or discrimination re-
Sulting from the action taken"

LEGISLATURE CAN
SAVE NEW HAVEN

Washington, Tune 28.-President
Wilson and Attorney General Mercy
nolds are agreed that the dissolution
suit against the New Haven railroad
must so forward unless the Massachu-
eetts legislature empowers the holding
company to sell its Boston & Maine
stock.
President Wilson told inquirers to-
day that unless the legislature acted in
line with the suggestions of the attor-
ney general and Governor Walsh, the
ONLY course left open to the depart
ment of justice would be to go ahead
with the Sherman law suit which has
been held up according to the agree
ment between Chairman Elliott of the
New Haven and Mr.. McReynolds.
The consent of the Massachusetts
legislature is necessary before the hold
ing company ma sell its Boston &
Maine stock. Governor Walsh recon-
mended tina the legislature pass a bill
necessary to that end. Last week the
legislature referred the bill to a recess
committee and a delay until after
Christmas was threatened.
Officials here expect the suit will be
begun before the expiration of the time
limit set by Attorney General Mercy
nolds unless the legislature takes the
action recommended by the governor
and the federal government.

BUTTE MINERS TO
FORM OWN UNION

Butte. Mont. June 23.-With Presi-
dent Charles HI. Meyer, of the Western
Federation of Miners. insisting tina his
plan of coitciliation, which will be an
nounced tomorrow, at a meeting of the
old Butte Miners union, as the only
avenue by which peace can be restored,
preparations are going rapidly forward
today for the permanent organization
of the Butte Mine Workers union,
launched yesterday by the cessionists
from the Western Federation.
Leaders Of the new organization say
that President Meyer will be brought to
g realization that the federation has
lost practically all support among To-
cal miners.
Dissatisfaction over the
OF the affairs of the old union and a
desire to be freed from the necessity
of paying heavy assessments to the
Western Federation of Miners for the
support of strikers, led to the breach
which resulted, yesterday, in the de-
termination of the insurgents to OPP
crate as an independent, unaffiliated
union.
President Muckie' McDonaIG's state
ment that the new union would have
nothing to do with the Industrial Work
ers of the World organization. has
caused a feeling Of optimism among
business interests here. Mcdonald
signs his name Muckie' to union docu-
nlentS.
Meyer expects to remain here a week
or 10 days. He will leave about july l
for LAnse, Mich, where he is to stand
trial on charges arising out of The Mich
igan copper strike last winter.
Meyer Is Bitter.
In a statement surveying the stu
alton Meyer declared the leaders of he
new union had not acted in rood faith:
that the workers in Butte's mines had
been delivered over 10 the Industrial
Workers of the World and There are
hundreds-yes, thousands = of ire
sponsible men headed for Butte at this
instant. What are they coming for?'
he asked.
They have no jobs" Meyer said,
for there are more men in Butte now
than are places for in the mines. The
public can take warning as to their
r mission"
Mover also criticised Mayor Duncan.
soelailst' Tor failing to appear at the
mass meeting yesterday to advise
against formation of the new union be-
fore Meyers Cancellation plan could be
submitted to the men.
Fortified with the backing Of the
Western Federation and ali interna-
tional unions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor together with $4,000 in
cash N the bank and $4,000 more in
property in this and other cities, the
old miners union will continue its
business here, according to Meyer. He
indicated that the federation will at
tempt to hold its contracts with the
mining companies and would furnish
federation men to fill ali places in the
mines.
Action to this end, he said, would be
taken if the men who have seeded
fail to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to return to the federation.
Mcdonald said that federation mem
bers in Michigan n Utah were on the
point of seeding and had agreed 70
join the protest movement.

ply. He stopped his ship and after
waiting a minute he blew again, This
time he caught a signal apparently
very close. !
Realizing that 1t must be either the
whistle of another steamer he heard
or the echo of his own blast thrown
back by a big iceberg close by, Captain
Weeks sounded six alternate long and
short blasts which We're returned just
as he gave them. That decided him to
steer at once to the southwark to avoid

OF the mine, and Thomas Taylor, fire

Tons OF rock, broken timbers and
other debris are heaped in the en-

several days. Exploration by rescuers
early today Indicated the miners had no
warning of death, as several bodies
were found standing nearly erect with
picks and other mining tools in hand
pinned to walls by timbers or rocks.
While officials encouraged the belief
that many of the men are alive, this
belief is not ommo as relatives and
comrades of the missing men fear that
those who were not crushed by falling
debris were overcome by the poisonous
gases.

About 500. Oo0, 1000 Of Precious
Metal Shipped to Europe
Uncle Sam Has More.

greatest transfer of gold ever made be-

cious metal was delivered at the SUBJ
treasury here.
The gold, in bars and in coin, came
from other branches Of the United

was said, was prompted by the fact
that for the last six weeks. this coun-
try has been losing gold to Europe on
q large scale. Since the first Of May
S53, 000, 900 has gone out nj since the
beginning of the year, $685. 00, 900.
Bankers say that little IL n OF the

needed, as the crest of the gold outflow
apparently was reached early IN the
