WOULD "CLEAN HOUSE"
Hanly Urges Wiping Out Saloons as
Best Way to Start.

Newton. Kan, Oct. .2.-This being
moving day for many renters DIR. Ira
Landrith. the Prohibition vice pres
idential candidate aboard the coast-to-
coast campaigning train, discussed
house cleaning before Kansas crowds.
I'VE moved at our house the other
day." he said, land it took two men
and a boy and my wife and daughter
two days to clean up the house we
went into. Immediately I decided
that if 1 ever ran for office again, one
plank in my platform would be that
the tenant who moved out has to clean
up his own dirt before he goes. That
should attract the women voters, it
strikes me. and be pretty good plank
besides, and it is this plank in ma
you now.
This world is nothing but a tene-
mcnt house. and before we leave we
ought to clean up for the generation
that is to follow US. Don't leave the
job to them. You cannot do better
than to start in housekeeping by
wiping out the saloons of the nation. IS
J. Frank Hanly, presidential can
didate, urged that the liquor issue is
the greatest that has confronted the
American people since slavery. 1t
challenged the right of the people to
rule. he said, and when he found that
his old party. the Republican. would
not accept this challenge, he left it and
had become a Prohibitionist.

day with schedule of other towns be-
fore it. They were Newton, Peabody.

alighted some eighty yards from a

The Zeppelin appeared to remain
almost stationary in the air for three
minutes after the envelope burst into
flames. The tongues of fire seemed
to lick along the bag until it was all
ablaze. Even then it dropped so
slowly that many persons who had not
awakened until the cheering aroused
them, were able to reach their VIM
dows in time to see it fall.
Neither the airship which was de-

Eight Dead, Three Dying; So
Persons Injured.
Street Car Carrying 100 Struck
by Freight Train.
SAY GATES WERE NOT DOWN
Also Claim Freight Cars Bore
No Signal Lights.
Third Grade Crossing Crash in
Detroit in a Year.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 2.-On the
shoulders of 65-year-old Valentine
showski, $35 a month gateman, en-
ployed by the Grand Trunk railroad,
the state of Michigan will attempt to
place responsibility for the fatal street
car smash early today that caused the
death of eight persons and injury to
tfiirty-six others. At least three of
the injured will die.
Showski was arrested at the Grand
Trunk depot today after he had fled
from the scene of the accident. Wit
nesses told Assistant Prosecutor Speed
that Showski failed to lover the street
gates at East Forest avenue and the
Grand Trunk crossing, where a south
bound string of freight cars sideswiped
a cross town car bearing nearly a
hundred passengers. The car was
thrown fifteen feet from the track by
the impact and partially overturned,
hurting passengers under the wheels
of the still moving freight.
Mangled Beyond Recognition.
At the county morgue Identification
of the victims was impossible early to-
day. All bodies were so badly man
gled that it seemed improbabl that
any could be recognized by friends or
relatives. An unidentified woman and
a 3-year-old girl are among the dead.
One of the big freight cars caught
the trolley almost in the center and
swung it off the tracks until it stood
almost parallel with the moving
freight cars. In the panic that fol-
lowed, passengers leaped from door
ways and windows. Most of those
who met death were killed by Jump
ing from the windows and falling I'M
der the wheels of the freight cars.
Start Five Investigations.
Five separate Investigations are ex-
pected to be under way today in an
effort to place responsibility for the
accident. They will be made by the
state railway commission, coroner's
office, prosecuting attorney. the Grand
Trunk railroad and the Detroit United
railway.
The switching crew and that of the
trolley car were taken to the prosecut-
ing attorneys office Immediately after
the crash and were held until well into
the morning.
few persons who witnessed the crash
One was to the effect that there were
no lights on the freight car that struck
the trolley and another that the cross
ing gates were not lowered.
How the trolley car got onto the
railroad tracks if the derailing device
maintained at the crossing was work
ing properly was another point being
investigated. Last nights accident is
the third grade crossing tragedy in
the last year and the second to occur
at the Forest avenue crossing.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct 2-wHEAT-Increasing
drouth damage in Argentina gave basis
today for fresh advance in wheat prices
here. Dispatches from Rosario in the cen
ter of the dry district. said the effects of
the long continued lack of rain were SER
ious and that all crops were suffering.
Scantiness of receipts. at the domestic
spring wheat terminals and at Winnipeg
tended also to handicap the bulls. Opening
quotations, which ranged from nc to &c
higher. with December at $1.54A TO $1.54ss
and May at $1.54ss, were followed by mod
crate further gains.
Gossip that foreigners were buyers
both of cash wheat and future deliveries
helped later to bring about an additional
upturn. The close was strong at an adj
vance OF 21sc net with December at
$1.5615 land May at $1.55Al.
CORN--Higher prices for corn resulted
from the bulge in wheat, fine weather fail
ed to act an offset. After opening &c
off to shade up, the market scored adj
vances all around.
Talk Of disappointing yields and of
large exports led subsequently to other
gains in price. The loss was firm at sc
to &c to 11sc above Saturdays finish.
OATS-Oats hardened in value with 9th
er cereals. Demand, though, was only of a
scattered character.
PROvISIONS-Weak in the hog
market pulled down provisions. Most of
the trade was in January opetions.
