Heavier Ballast RECOMMENDED.

Frank A. Wightman, member of the
public service commission, has filed
o report of his inspection of the
physical condition of the lines of the
Chicago G Alton railway in Missouri.
The road operates 264.36 miles OF
main line through the counties Of Au-
drain, Boone, Randolph, Howard, Sa.
line, Lafayette and Jackson. One
small branch, so miles In length, is
operated between Mexico and Jeffer-
son City.
Bridges are in good condition and
sufficient strength. Right of way,
generally speaking, is In good shape.
Many OF the embankments are pro-
nounced narrow and 1t Is suggested
that all fills be brought to a minimum
OF 20 feet at subgrade.
The ballast is said to be entirely
toe light and not up to the standards
OF the American Railway Engineering
association or the other trunk lines in
the state. There is no criticism of
the alignment or surface of the track.
The tie condition is very good, the
work of renewal being well along.
The total per cent Of renewals on the
system the last for years was 40. The
rails are in good condition. Genera
ally the highway crossings are good.

Black Walnut to Be used.


Missouri's fast disappearing black
walnut, pronounced by designers in
decorative woods as one Of the most
beautiful for interior finishing, win
not be used in the new state capitol,
unless steps are taken at once by the
capitol commission to change the
specifications.
The desirability OF the use of black
walnut in preference to foreign wood
came up at a conference when the
contract for the capitol woodwork was
let.
X. F. Gill, the capitol contractor,
said that black walnut should be used,
not only for sentimental and patriotic
reasons, but because it would afford
a finish superior to the woods speci-
fled. The specifications provide ash,
oak and mahogany, all of which come
from outside Missouri.
BLACK walnut will soon be unobtain-
able" said Gill. "At present it can be
procured only in Missouri. In New
York, Cleveland and other places there
are examples of work in which Mis-
souri, black walnut was used that will
stand as monuments to the wood,
which, at one time, was abundant in
most parts of this state.
In late years Germany has been
buying Missouri black walnut as fast
as it can be cut and shipped. Several
large buildings in the east also have
added to the drain"

Republicans Gaining.

Unofficial returns in the office of
Secretary Of State Roach indicate that
the Democratic majority in the house
Of the next general assembly will be
smaller than was figured Immediately
after the election.
AS the count stands, II Democrats
are known to be elected, SO Republic
cans and N Progressive; with five
counties not heard from definitely on
members of the Legislature.
These counties are Laclede, Holt,
Webster, Cedar and Dade. The
chances are believed to be good that
the Democrats have the member in
at least two of these counties.
Seventy-two votes is a constitution
al majority in the house, the mem
bership Of which is 142. Even if all,
Of the five missing counties show up
with Republican representatives, it
would leave the Democrats with a
clear majority of five.

Farmer Kills Family.

After shooting and killing his wife,
Mrs. Florence Hosmann, and his 16-
month-old daughter. John Hosmann, a
farmer, living near jamestown, shot
himself through the head, dying in
stantly.
The shooting is believed to have oc-
CURED Thursday night. The bodies
were found when two s~tepsons Of Hos
mann, who had been away on a visit,
returned.
A coroner's inquest held that Hos
mann killed his wife and child and
then shot himself.
The weapon used was a single
barreled shotgun. 1t was lying across
Hosmann's body. The three bodies
were on the bed.
Family trouble was assigned by the
coroner's jury as the cause.
The couple had been married three
years. By a former marriage Mrs.
Hosmann had two sons, 15 and ~
years old.

Most Important Change Has to Do
With Practices of the Appellate
courts-To Copy Procedure
Of United States Courts.
Jefferson City.

Jefferson lily.
AS a result of the deliberations of
the Missouri code commission, $50
bills, all bearing on a simplification
of court procedure, will be prepared
and introduced in the coming session
of the general assembly.
The most important bill will be the
one recommended by E. ]. White,
Judge Hugo Grimm and Judge Albert
ID. Nortoni, which seeks to delegate
the power Of regulating rules of prac-
tice and procedure for all of the ap-
pellate courts in the state to the SUI
preme court. This suggestion finds a
precedent in the fact that the rules of
practice in all OF the federal courts in
the United States are prescribed and
regulated by the supreme court.
One bill that may be recommended
will prohibit an appellate court from
reversing a case ON account Of tech
meal errors. Only in cases where 1t Is
shown indisputably that material in
justice would follow would reversal
be permissible. 5t,S5E
An effort will be made to do away
with the printing Of dissenting opin-
ions, on account Of burdening the re
ports. : The printing of the decisions
of the supreme court and the appel
late courts is provided for in the con-
stitution and therefore cannot be reg
i1lated by statute.

FINALLY DESTROY THE EMDEN
British Warshlp Ends Career Of Far
nous Cruiser Which Has Done
SO Much Damage.

London, Nov. 1.-Two naval sue
cesses of utmost Importance to Great
Britain and its allies we're announced
by the admiralty All
The first was the destruction Of the
German cruiser Emden. 1t was driven
ashore and burned after a severe en-
gagement with the Australian cruiser
Sydney in the Cocos or Keeling group
Of islands southwest Of Java In the
Indian ocean. "a g s9
The second was the bottling up OF
the German cruiser Koenigsberg near
Matia island on the coast Of German
East Africa by the blockading Of the
channel to the harbor. This was done
by the Australian cruiser Chatham.
These two victories have cleared all
the high seas of German cruisers with
the exception of Admiral Won Specs
fleet in the southern Pacific, and the
British admiralty has informed the
country that adequate measures have
been taken to deal with this fleet, vic
tor of the recent battle on the Chilean
coast.
Emden's Captain 4 Prisoner.
Captain von Muller Of the German
cruiser Emden and Prince Franz Jo-
seph of Hohenzollerns one of his Of
ficers, are both prisoners of war and
neither is wounded, according to an
announcement by the admiralty.
The admiralty adds that the losses
on the Emden are unoficially reported
as 200 killed and 80 wounded.

the survivors of the Emden and that
the captain and his officers are not to
be deprived of their swords.

gagements OF lesser Importance, in
which, according to the French re
port, General Joffre's armies have
succeeded in gaining ground and
strengthening their positions.
The Germans continue to destroy
bridges and railways in Belgium, but
with what object remains a secret.
1t is thought, however, that they are
making preparations to winter in that
country, and they are taking every
step to prevent their plans from be-
coming known to their enemies.
Germans Report Advances.
Berlin, via London, Nov. 13.-The
German general headquarters issues
the following:
THE enemy advanced from Nieu-
port as far as Lombaertzyde, but

"Our attack across the User canal
to South Dixmude is progressing.
I'm the region east of Ypres we
have advanced farther and captured

Petrograd, Nov. 1.-THE Russian
general staff issued the following
statement today:
In East Prussia on November II
an action developed on the front OF
Stalluponen, Krouglianken, and the re-
gion of Soldau. Our troops occupied
Johannisberg, a small town 10 miles
to the southwest of Gumbinnen.
Beyond the Vistula battles of sec
ondary Importance occurred in the
region of Kalisz and Neschava in Rus
sian Poland, where advance guards of
the enemy sought to progress.
In the Carpathian region Austrian
rear guards maintained at the cross
ings on the upper San, in the region
OF Sanok, were attacked by our troops.
The siege of Przemysl, which was
suspended during the period in which
the Austro-G German armies were on
the offensive, has been re-established."
Austrians Report Russian Defeat.
Berlin, Nov. IL, via London.--The
Frankfurter Zeitung has received the
following dispatch regarding the re-
ported defeat of the Russians near
Czernowitz, capital of the Austrian
province of Bukowina:
The Austrians made an unexpected
movement, crossing the Pruth a few
kilometers ~northward of Czernowitz,
and suddenly attacked the Russian
right wing. The Russians were com
pletely surprised, and after a short
resistance decided to. fall back upon
their base, which seemed free. How
ever, they were then taken under fire
by Austrian artillery, which caused
terrible losses among the Russian de-

speed was subordlnated to durability
and strength. But in those days
three years ago. aeroplane accidents
were more frequent than they are
now. It was thought then that BIZ
planes would be employed exclusively
for military purposes because Of their
stancher construction. Indeed, there

enough to Withstand extraordinary
strains as the looping performances
Of Pegoud and his imitators have
abundantly proved. The main consid.
GRAFTON is that of speed. Slow ma
chimes cannot be used nowadays; in
other words, machines that travel at
speeds Of less than SO miles an hour.
The armored machine il much sought
after. In 1912, for example, only
eight Voisins were ordered. AS soon
as Voisin produced his steel, 70.mile
an hour machine, an order for 81 was
promptly placed.
