REVENGE ON LONDON.
Berlin Paper Proposes Outrages as
an "EXamDle'

Berlin June 16.-Commenting on
the aeroplane attack upon Karlsruhe.
Paul Becker, assistant chief editor of
the Tages Zeitung, terms it "a ne
''unscrupulous retaliation is de-
manded-"
He declares Germany hitherto has
retaliated for the bombardment of
defenseless, unfortified cities only by
the bombardment of military locali-
ties, but that an example should now
be made.
Herr Becker suggests that the best
step would be a bombardment of the
western portion of London. He thinks
extended also to other departments
of warfare.
Count Ernest Won Reventlow, the
naval expert Of the same paper, re-
turns this morning to the attack on
the article of Eugen Zimmerman,
zeiger, in favor of efforts toward a
German-American understanding In
an article headed German Propa-
ganda for Deliveries of Weapons to
vcnt1ow says the defense by German
newspapers for the weapon deliveries
is the most Incredible thing that have
occurred during the war. He attacks
the Vorwaerts for it's approval of the
Lo<al Anzeiger proposal, and again
assails the latter paper for declaring
there was no occasion for indignation
at the attempt of England to starve
out Germany, which was held to be
legitimate warfare.
The count says the press Cf the
countries opposed to Germany will re-
joice to learn that its own views are
held and furthered by a portion of the
German press. He argues that if the

George McElheny, shouted today

Maude McElheny, the slain postmas-

of Hornbaker.
NO" replied Mrs. McElheny.
The crOSS-eXaminatiOnO of the widow
proceeded slowly this morning. She
testified that on the afternoon before
the murder Mrs. Hornbaker, wife of
the defendant, gave her a note from
Hornbaker, which said:
Remember what / told you, 1 will
not worry you any more"
Was that note a signal to you that
Roscoe was going to shoot George that
night?" asked Attorney Boyle.
No" witness replied.
Or that any other man was to kill
him %

DEATH TRAP Mine.
Unsanitary and Unsafe, Says
the State Mine Inspector.
Looks Like 1t Had Been Run by
Farmers.
WOULD NOT Be TOLERATED
If Operated by Corporation or
an Individual.
Governor Capper Promises to
Remedy the Situation.
NOT Be TOLERATED

The Kansas penitentiarY coal mine
is unsanitary, unsafe, has been run py
farmers and wouldn't be tolerated or
permitted to operate in real mining
district. Aside from that, and the
fact that several hundred lives are
daily endangered, the prison mine is
probably all right according to a state
ment to Governor Capper today by
John Pellegina, state mine inspector.
In company with Paul Mcbride,
state labor commissioner, Pellegina
spent half hour in the governor S
office today and told the Kansas ex-
mine as he found them while on re-
cent tour of inspection. The governor
stated that an effort would be made to
put the mine in shape.
PelleginaS version of the prison
coal mine conditions is in plain, un-
vanished English and quite compre-
hensive. When he talked about the
Lansing mine after his trip to the gov
ernor'S office, Pellegina was not in
clined to be technical or use words of
more than four syllables. He simply
stacked together a bunch of two-for-
a-quarter words and told the newspa-
per reporters what he thought of the
mine and his verdict was so clear and
plain that no one had difficulty in
understanding it.
THAT prison mine is unsanitary,'
said Pellegina. THE air is positively
bad and the gases are dangerous That
isn't ALL The place is unsafe The
posts that support the mine have rot
ted in places and there is danger of a
cave-in.
ITO tell the truth about it, contin-
ued the state inspector. the mine
looks like it has been run by a bunch
of farmers. If it were located in a
mining district and owned by a pri-
Vate corporation or individuals, it
wouldn't be tolerated or permitted to
run"
The state mine inspector and state
labor commissioner told Governor
Capper all of these things today. Yet
several hundred men work in the
mine every day and the conditions as
pointed out by Pellegina have existed
not for a few days, but for months.
There is very little money available
with which to put the mine in proper
condition. Governor Capper stated
however, that needed repairs would be
made and the state would make an
effort to put the mine in safe and
sanitary condition. Around the state
house today, it was declared that the
mine was generally believed to be in
fairly good condition until PeIlegina
came to Topeka with the information
that the mine was in deplorabIe
state.
No fund is set apart by the state to
meet bettermentS such as will be nee
eSSary to repair the prison plant For
that reason, the little money that can
be spent to improve conditions, if they
are improved, must be pinched from
the already meagre funds provided by
the legislature for general purposes

without shattering any of the
moral or even the conventional

of his is of jealous disposition?

way course in America. Around
June the track Of the Speedway
Park assn of Chicago, at Speedway
Park, will be ready for the first prac-
tice of the international 500-mile
race, scheduled for Saturday, June
10. At that time the vanguard of the
leading drivers of America and Eu-:
rope will be trailing Chicagoward.
To insure the completion of the
track at least two weeks in advance
of the championship affair the con-
tractors have placed a double force of
men at work. During the week la
borers and skilled mechanics have
been busily engaged at night with the
aid of powerful artificial lights, which
have turned night into day.
Beginning next week there will be
three shifts, each working eight
hours. When work on the construc-
ton of the mammoth two-mile track
was resumed last week 800 men were
placed at work and as soon as the
material began to arrive additional
men were put to work, until today
there are about 500 working to
place the $1,OOO,OO0 plant in shape.
Within week it is expected the force
will be doubled.
The backstretch, with its highest
elevation at eight feet, is completed,
and work during the coming week
will be started on both ends or turns
of the course. This means that near
ly one-fourth of the course is rough
ly laid. Instead of the usual concrete
or brick. construction, the Speedway
assn has decided on a two-by-four
construction. The tire trouble will
be minimized as a result.
Entries for the contests are caus-
ing the speedway promoters the least
worry, as more than half of the list
has been filled and more than a
month remains before the entries
