FARMERS Want !.
An INDEPENDENT
SELLING AGENCY
Grain Growers Protest Against
Affiliation of Equity With
Live Stock Exchange.
PRESIDENT WILL DISCUSS
QUESTION IN MONTANA

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 25.-Ofticials
of the Equity Cooperative Exchange
are receiving letters from farmer
members protesting against their
joining the Livestock Exchange in
South st. Paul. The farmers say
they cannot see why they should form
cooperative company and then sell
their stock under the same rules and
regulations imposed for many years,
They say they want an independent
selling agency.
President Anderson will leave this
evening for Great Falls, Mont, to
close contracts with SO elevators that
will sell their grain through the Equi-
ty Exchange, and while there he will
talk over the livestock proposition
with the growers and get their opin-
ion.
There is question whether the
Equity will be admitted to the South
St. Paul Exchange. The rules of the
Equity require a division of profits
with the shippers, while those of the
South st. Paul Exchange forbid any
thing in the nature of rebates. The
Equity people have assurances, how
ever, that they will be able to sell to
the packers. The greatest problem
will be to find market for feeders
if they cannot be sold on the Ex-
change.

RED FLEET ARE
NEAR SANDY HOOK
Expected Admiral Helm Will
Make might Attack"
Against Blues"

Washington, Aug. 25.-The "Red''
enemy fleet was within striking dis
tance of Sandy Hook tonight, its
scouts having been sighted by the
"Blue' defending forces in the naval
war game at 11:0O a. m. today, 12O
miles off Earnegat Inlet. This infor.
nation reached the navy department
in intercepted messages passing be
tween Rear Admiral Helm and the
"Blue" flagship. Rhode Island, and
the ships of his comman.
The Red" scouts were headed west
the messages showed, and the navy
officials said Admiral Helm undoubt-
edly was straining every resource to
locate the main "Red" fleet under
Admiral Mayo, and the transport
train that is bringing hypothetical
army of invasion. II the "Blre'
scouts were successful in gathering
positive information before darkness
complicated their task. it was believ-
ed Admiral Helm would make a
might attack" upon the most vulner.
able element of the 'Red."
The position and course of the
"Red" scouts indicates that Admiral
Mayo might be taking a dash for
some landing point either near New
York or Delaware bay.

men BECOMING IMPATIENT OVER DELAY
HOW Canada Prevents K. K. Stxikesi
Compulsory Publicity Makes General Public Judge of
the Dispute

Ottawa, Aug. 25.-They do these
things better in Canada.
No lone man would be standing be-
tween the nation and countrywide
railway strike in Canada, as President
Wilson is standing here.
Not compulsory arbitration, but
compulsory publicity, has brought
this about in Canada.
The general public is the third par.
ty in Canadian industrial disputes, but
there it has the part of a Judge in.
stead of the innocent bystander. 4
Under the dominion's compulsory
investigation" law, railroad mems
organization such as the four great
brotherhoods would be required to
give 80 days notice to the government
of they intended to strike.
The dominion minister of labor
then would call upon the men and the
railroads to appoint each one commits
sioner, these two to select a third
commissioner to investigate every
phase of the dispute and lay the facts
officially before the public.
If the two commissioners couldn't
agree on the third, the minister of lab
or himself would appoint the third.
Then, pending this commissions re-
port, the men would remain at work
and the railroads would continue Op-
Grating.
Every question bearing on the sit
uation would be investigated by the
commission of three, and the facts to-
gether with the commissions conclu.
sions as to the justice of the mems
stand, would be laid before the pub
lie; also the commissions recommen.
dations for settling the controversy.
So successful is this method that in

PROPERTY DAMAGE
AMOUNTS TO $25, 900

Charles City, Ia, Aug. 25.-Two
men and one woman we're fatally
burned; nine others, including a boy
and two women, were seriously burn.
ed and a number of others were less
seriously injured late today, when a
large oil tank, belonging to the Stand.
ard Oil company, exploded. A great
pillar of fire shot into the air for a
hundred feet, following the explosion,
and burning oil was scattered in all
directions.
A spark from an engine, which was
pumping gasoline into storage tanks
of the plant, caused the explosion, and
the fire, which followed it, spread
rapidly destroying the new plant and
causing loss estimated by officials
of the company at $4,000. Pedes-
trians in the vicinity of the plant
were the sufferers from the burning
oil for the most part, and panic was
caused in the neighborhood, the resi-
dents fleeing to get away from the vi
cinity of the plant.

regiment national guard. of Georgia,
was shot and killed in his tent at the
state mobilization camp here today
by Mrs. H. c. Adams, of Atlanta. At
the county Jail tonight, where she
was held on charge Of murder, Mrs.
Adams asserted that Captain Sprat-

weeks ago while she was in her office
in Atlanta for treatment.
Mrs. Adams, woman about 30
years of age, came from her home in
Atlanta today, and went directly to
the camp. At Captain Spratling's tent
she asked the officer if her were Cap

twice from a small calibre revolver,
both shots taking effect.
According to Sargent Kaysor, of F
company, who seized her moment

officer, "You have ruined my home. "
After the shooting she seemed hys-

CONGRESS WILL
Be PREPARED TO
ADJOURN SEPT. !
Expected Present Session Can
Be Brought to a Close
Next Friday.
JOINT RESOLUTION. TO BE
SUBMITTED NEXT WEEK

Washington, Aug. 25.-Congress is
getting ready to adjourn next Friday,
if possible, ignoring all threats of
members to press special bills for con-
sideration over protests of administra-
ton leaders.
1t is expected that a joint resolution
to provide for adjournment Friday
evening will be submitted to both
houses next week, as soon as the gen.
eral deficiency appropriation bill has
passed the house, probably on Tues
day. Democratic leaders declare the
resolution will be adopted and that
this will operate to check a threaten
ed prolonged fight in the senate over
the Owens corrupt practices bill,
which aroused fusilade of charges
and counter charges of political cor
ruption yesterday.
Senator Owens determination to de-
mand vote on a motion to take up
the corrupt practices bill still hangs
over the senate, but several infuen-
tial Democrats said today his motion,
if he got an opportunity to make it,
would be defeated. Senator Smith, of
South Carolina, intends to seek an
other opportunity to pass the immi-
grafton bill and he might get it
through, if it could be done without
provoking debate. After the deficien-
cy and revenue bills ard passed, how
ever, senate leaders on both sides say
wild horses could not hold a quor-
um."

BRITISH DESTROY
BRIDGES OVER
ANC|SLA RIVER
Plans of Allied Troops for Ad-
vance on Right Wing Are
Frustrated. g..
LONDON Is AGAIN r.
RAIDED BY ZEPPELINs
Berlin Confirms Report That In
activity Follows Gains on
Western Front. D..

London, Aug. 25.-The positions of
the various forces participating in the
great European war remain practical
ly unchanged, although slight ad.
vances are reported for some forces
on the battle fronts
Apparently, from the French state,
ment, the Allied troops do not plan an
advance on the right wing, as the
British cavalry detachments are re.
ported to have destroyed bridges over
the Angisla river. On the left bank,
Paris reports "appreciable' progress
for the Serbians, and the capture of
several hundred prisoners. In the
center, where the main effort of the
Allies is expected, heavy artillery &C
tion is taking place, but there is no
report of infantry operations.
The lull on the eastern front con.
tinues, but the success of Grand Duke
Nicholas in Armenia is growing in ex.
tent. The recent fighting in the re.
gion of Lake Van is described in Pet.
rograd as crushing blow to the
Turks and military critics predict the
resumption OF the Grand Dukes ad.
vance toward Asia Minor.
Inactivity Reports Confirmed.
That unusual period of comparative
inactivity has followed the western
front. gains, reported by Paris and
London, is partially confirmed by Ber.
lin. The Germans have, however, at.
tempted a new blow at the French at
the point of the famous St. Mihiel sal.
lent. The salient juts far into the
French line southeast of Verdun, and
has been the scene Of some of the
bloodiest fighting in France. The
force of the German blow carried
them into French trenches, but Paris
says they were evicted Immediately
by counter attacks.
Another Zeppelin Raid.
London again has been the target
for Zeppelin raid, and as usual, the
accounts issued by Berlin and London
conflict. Berlin claims that the Brit.
ish capital was heavily bombarded by
several naval dirigibles and that bat.
teries and vessels were struck. Ac.
cording. to London, only one of the at.
tacking Zeppelins reached the out.
skirts Of the village and only slight
damage was done. Eight persons
were killed and 80 injured, according
to the British version.

phrased it. Il

the Brotherhood leaders.
VI luc CACCuSAVCS Selu IuAS
while the proposal would not give
more than 20 per cent increase In
wages provided for, In effect, In Pres
ident Wilson's plan, it probably would
give an increase of over 10 per cent.
The proposal in its tentative form
covered three typewriter pages. A.
ter the vote, several Of the executive
made suggestions, which the Commit
tee of eight probably will include in
the final draft. .-s..
s. Executives Take stand.
Throughout the discussion the ex-
ecutives took the position that the
question of an eight-hour day was
one of wages rather than one Of prin-
ciple. They said tonight they never
had voted formally on President VIII
sons plan az whole, but that al
of their discussion had shown that
it could not be accepted in It's en-
tirely. The plan now agreed on will
be the first presented by the execu-
tives since the negotiations began.
Leaders of the brotherhoods could
not be reached tonight for discussion
Of the railroad mems proposal, but
the sentiment was plainly against ar.
bitration. The fact, however, that
the, railroads had made q proposal
was taken as an encouraging sign
that this might for the basis for fur.
ther negotiations. One Of them said,
as consequence, he expected the
discussion to continue until the mid.
die of next week, or possibly longer.
Although the railroad presidents
would not attempt to forecast how
their counter proposition would be 70.
ceived by the men, some OF them vere
inclined to believe the brotherhoods
would decide that much had been con.
ceded, and that 1t would be Z losing
fight to hold out for their original de.
mands.
