EASTLAND PROBE DRAGS
Labor Leaders Prepared to Start In
dependent Investigation

Chicago, Aug. 5.-A review of the
testimony given and a consideration
of responsibility for the disaster were
announced today as the program for
the county grand jury, which is in
vestigating the capsizing of the East
land. Although this body has prac-
ticaIly completed the taking of evil
dence, it is not believed that any in
dictment will be returned before the
end of the week or the early part OF
next week. Manslaughter and crimi-
nal carelessness in the handling OF
steamship are charges on which
States Attorney Hoyne contemplates
drawing indictments.

TO DRILL WELL.
Report of Oil at Valencia, Near
Topeka, Is Confirmed.
Prospect on the J. C. Randall
Farm, 2 Miles West Village.

Reports that oil prospects have
been found near Valencia, fifteen
miles west of Topeka on the Rock
Island, were confirmed in Topeka to-
day The largest prospect is located
on the farm of J. c. Randall, two
place crude oil is seeping from the
ground in sufficient quantities to
arouse the interest of oil and gas men.
Prospects of gas, not as prominent
as the oil trace, have been found on
the farm of E. C. Morris, about a mile
from the Randall farm. The gas is so
evident that a match placed over the
crevice where it shoots from the
ground will cause a flame However,
the gas trace is not receiving as
much attention as the oil prospect.
Since the discovery Topeka men
around the place. Ten thousand acres
of land around the Randall farm has
been leased in the name of John
Switzer, local attorney. Several To-
peka men have recently visited the
vicinity among whom are A1onzo
Valencia and L. G. Treleaven, re-
ceiver for the local gas company. A
prospect well will be sunk, by an in
dependent syndicate composed of only
a few men.
The geological condition of the
land near the prospect is said to be
excellent. The possibility of Topeka
being located on the edge of an oil
pool is theme of discussion as old as
the city. The developments at Va
lencia are being watched with interest
by both Topekans and Valencians.
However while the developments are
being watched a drill will decide the
question of whether or not the Va
lencia prospect is another fizzle like
the zeandale project evidently has

DANISH SINGLE ROOF.
State Fire Marshal Plans to Obtain
Legislative Action.

Single roofs within the fire limits
of all towns and cities in Kansas may
be prohibited If a law desired by l..
T. Hussey, state fire marshal, should
be enacted by the legislature. In the
last six months, 1877 single roof fires
have been reported to Hl-sey's Of
flee. Losses from these fires totaled
$127,675.
In Illinois and several other states,
legislatures have enacted laws pro-
hibiting the building of single roofs
within the fire limits of cities. Local
ordinances prescribing the materials
which may be used in roof building,
have also been enforced. Now Hus-
sey threatens to recommend legisla-
ton against shingle roofs in Kansas.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Aug. -wHEAT-Improved
weather both in the winter crop belt and
in the spring wheat states had a bearish
effect today on the wheat market here. Re

take profits. Opening prices. which ranged
from a shade &c lower, were followed by

owing to signs of large export sales. The
close, however, was unsettled, A@112c I'M

This he recently asked for in a COM
munication to the leaders, calling on
them to get together in an attempt
to end their strife. The next appeal,
it is understood, will be final, and if
any faction refuses, an arms embargo
will follow against that faction.
Must Open Railway.
The presidents plan is also said to
include immediate steps to open up
the railroad between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City for the transportation of
food supplies to the starving people
of the capital. Failure of the Mexi-
can leaders to keep open the road, it
was said, might result in joint military
steps by the United States and the
Latin-American nations to that end.
Participants in todays conference
with Secretary Lansing, included the
ambassadors from Brazil, Argentina
and Chile, and the three ranking min
listers of the Latin-American repub-
lies. namely. those of Bolivia, Uru-
quay and Guatemala, and Paul Fuller,
a confidential adviser to President
Wilson on Mexican affairs.
Artillery at Ell Paso.
The dispatch of q battery of field

border well guarded in view of the
