Immediately OH receipt of the news
from Washington that General Car
rama had permitted the use of the
Northwestern railroad for the send
ing of supplies. final preparations
were rushed by the quartermaster's
department for the forwarding of
forage, food supplies, and gasoline.
The limitations imposed by Gener-
al Carranza. combining shipments to
goods sent to concerns in Mexico who
have contracts with the expedition
airy force, caused some disappoint-
ment among army officers. II was
feared that these restrictions, coupl-
ed with the fact that military guards
could not accompany trains, might
seriously hamper the transmission of
an adequate stream of supplies.
War department officials were
greatly relieved by the removal of
the necessity for maintaining a mo-
tor truck supply line over desert
roads for a distance Of more than
200 miles. A cloudburst or great
storm might render the roads impas-
sable for a considerable space of time
cutting off the troops from their

Ford Barred From California

BY a special proclamation issued
by Governor Hiram w. Johnson,
which vas filed Tuesday in the Sec
rotary of States office, the Ford Au-
tomobile company must go out of
business in California, so far as in
trastate business is concerned, as a
penalty for refusing to pay the state
franchise tax for 1915. This means,
according to state officials, that the
Ford branches assembling plants as
distributing agencies in California
cannot do business in the state be-
cause the charter has been forfeited.
After today the company cannot
transact any business in this state,
and this will be followed by the
bringing of a civil suit on the part
of the state for the collection of the
tax The company can do interstate
business, however, because the State
authorities have no power over that
kind of business.
The Ford company claims the rate
Is excessive and will fight the issue,
1t is reported.

which declared that the oil market
was controlled and the price fixed by
a trust, the Standard Oil company,
aroused vigorous opposition. A mo-
ton to table the preamble was de-
feated, 35 to 20.
Senator Stone said he believed
there was an unlawful combination
between all manufacturers of gaso-
line. N
Nobody but the attorney general
believed the supreme courts decree
would dissolve the Standard Oil
trust or give any relief to the peo-
pie" said Senator Pomerone. Il have
no doubt there is still a trust. Talk
about a uniform rise in prices-gas-
oline is toady selling in various
cities at a difference in price of 10
cents a gallon-more than the price
of gasoline a little while ago."

Waite Involves the Undertaken

District Attorney Edward Swami
conferred his efforts upon locating
Eugene oliver Kane, who embalmed
the body of John e. Peck, wealthy
Grand Rapids druggist, for whose
murder his %son-in-law DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite is under arrest in New
York. Kane's arrest has been order
ed on the charge of conspiring to
commit a crime.
Waite is said by Mr.. Swami TO
have asserted that Kane accepted
$4,000 IN cash and a check for $4,000
as part payment of $4,000 he was

arsenic in embalming Peck's body.

in his statements made to the district
attorney and others. is said to have
confessed not only to poisoning Peck
but placing germs of yirulent dis

Waite claims to be a victim of a

Constitutional Amendments Are
Postponed

Consideration of every proposed
constitutional amendment introduced
in the house this session, including
those for suffrage and pro-
hibition and nineteen others of a mi
nor character, was postponed indefi-
nitely Tuesday by the judiciary COM
mittee. The vote was ten to nine.
Suffrage leaders who vainly sought
to have their proposal voted on sep
ately declared they would continue
their fight until the end of the ses-
sion, if necessary. They maintain
ed that they controlled enough votes
in the committee today to insure
victory If the other questions had
not been included in the motion.
Little hope for a favorable report
from the present committee is enter
tanned, however, by the members who
favor woman suffrage. Chairman
Webb is opposed to the amendment
and he recognized Representative
Carlin of Virginia to make the post
ponement motion, while Representa-
tive Nelson of Wisconsin and Moss
of West Virginia clamored for the
floor.
Prohibition leaders have made no
announcement as to their future
plans. None of them appeared be-
fore the committee, and it is
considered doubtful if their proposal
will be resurrected for any other
purpose than to block a separate suf-
vote.

miles south of Ogden, about one hour
later, Sunday, and robbed of a large
amount of registered mail. part of

at Ashton, Idaho. No one was hurt.
The passengers were moi molested.
So far as known, only one man
was seen participating in the actual
robbery, although he may have had
an accomplice, according to the theo-
ry of the employees of the train. The
robber or robbers escaped into the
billy country surrounding Roy.
Search was started as soon as
posses could be organized by the
sheriff and police forces of ogden
and Salt Lake, and by the railroad
special police. Men were rushed in
automobiles and in two special trains
to the scene, and meanwhile th'
roads leading to Salt Lake and to Og

No Dry Delegates

The Prohibition party will not
have a list of delegates for election

party in California failed to qualify

signatures to the nominating peti.

Fatal Wreck on the New York
Central

At least 80 persons were killed
and more than 40 injured in the
wreck early Wednesday,, of three of
the New York Central's crack pas
senger trains a mile west of Am
herst, Ohio.
Twenty-Five bodies had been taken
out at noon. and five more were
known to be in the debris.
When a total of dead and injur-
ed is finally ascertained, the wreck
will surpass, in its cost of life and
limb, even the wreck of the Twenti-
eth Century Limited at Mentor in
1904, when the famous train piled
the New York-Chicago 20 hours
run.
The wreck was one of the worst
that has occurred on the New York
Central system.
Dense fog obscured the signal set
by the first section of the eastbound
burg-Baltimore-Buffal limited,
causing another section of that train
to crash into it. A short time later,
before signalmen could flag it, the
fast Twetieth Century Limited, west
bound, crashed into the wreckage
which had piled up on the %westbound
Daylight had not yet appeared
when the three trains piled up to-
gether. Farmers and villagers rush
ed to the assistance of the stricken
passengers.
The work of ~rescuing those pin
ioned under the wreckage was ham
pered by darkness and fog.
Ambulances, automobiles and all
kinds of vehicles were rushed from
Elyra and other points. The little
morgue at Amherst was soon filled.
Most of the injured were conveyed
to hospitals in Elyra. The Twenti-
eth Century proceeded on its way to
Chicago. None of the passengers on
this train was injured.
The first body taken from the
wreck to be identified was that of
Rev. Gustav Wayli. pastor of the
First Hungarian Evangelical Luther
an church, Detroit.
The Twentieth Century westbound
ploughed the wreckage OF train No.
Sc, which had been hurled to the
westbound track before flagmen
could be sent to stop it.
Most of the dead were in the rear
coaches of the first section of the
chicago-Buffalo filler.
Some bodies were found in the rear
coaches of the second section of the
fir which buckled over onto the
Twentieth Century's right of way

Most of the dead are said to be
foreigners who were travelling in the

Eastern railroad managers replied
Thursday to the demands OF theiI
employees for an eight-hour day and
higher rates for overtime work by
submitting propositions of their own
for discussion.
The demands of the employees are
not refused, nor is a demand made
by the railroad managers for the &C
ceptance OF their own proposals.
These are submitted for e~onsidera-
tion in the negotiations that are to
follow.
The railroad managers demand
that there shall be open for discus
sion those provisions in the present
schedules of compensation which are
''in conflict with the following
principles:
No double compensation for the
same time and service
The same classification for the
purpose of compensation to be ap-
piled to all members of a train and
engine crew.
Two or more differently paid
classes of service performed in the
same day or trip to be paid proper
tionate rates according to the class
of service, with not less than a min
imum day for the combined service.
The position OF the unions is ex-
planned in a statement by the exoou-
tive committee of the adjustment
boards which had charge of the sub
mission of the demands. The state
ment says
In making the demand for the
eight-hour day the unions feel them
selves justified, believing that trains
can be so managed that the 100
miles required of a railroad man per
day al be put inside of eight hours.
AS the train service is now, single
crew engines in the switching SER
vice, on which only one crew works
in the tw~enty-four hours, are often
compelled to work ten to sixteen
hours a day. 1t is injustice such as
this that the railway unions went
ended
I'VE will submit our demands all
over the United States. Then we will
attend our regular routine work until
the end of thirty days given the rail
roads to consider our demands, when
we will return to receive the reply
of the railroad companies. We will
ask the general managers to discuss
the demands through their general
managers committees. Our desire is
to open negotiations with the rail-
roads in our demands, and We have
no intention of talking strike to the
railroads or submitting an ultima
tum.'
The demands presented by repre-
sentatives of the so-called Big Four
trainmen's unions involve $50 rail
way systems with 24S 900 miles of
right of way exclusive of terminals
and yards. In the western territory
there are 100 railroads with 1873 900
mileage, in the eastern territory six
ty railroads with $4,000 mileage,
and in the southeastern territory
twenty railroads with 1900 mile
age.

Think Gasoline Is Too High

An investigation by the attorney
general to determine whether a

rise in t he price of gasoline is di-

Senator MARITIME and adopted Thurs

Many senators joined in urging the
investigation. They said the sud

had brought floods of letters and tel

not find in the Democratic party that

their greatest measure of success.

Republican victory in November, since

The North accuses the South of be-
ing in the saddle" said Mr. Debnam,
and that the whole country Is run by
this section. For that reason, Wilson's
defeat will mean great losses for the
South. because the Republicans will
see to 1t that she pay for her present
prosperity.
I'VE need many contributions to the

Mr.. Debnam, land It is in the sure

no big money men to contribute, and
their success must depend on popular
subscription. Unless the contributions

MANOAMUS SOUGHT
FOR 0RY'S RELIEF
Proceedings WIN BE Taken Al Once
To Compel Secretary Of state To
Put Amendment On Ballot.

Kansas City. Mo-, Oct. 3.-Man-
damus proceedings in the State su-
preme Court to force Cornelius Roach,
secretary OF State. to place the pro-
hibition amendment on the ballot
will be begun at once. H. p. Faris,
of Clinton, Mo-, has announced
Mr.. Faris pointed to a decision OF
the Supreme Court two years ago as
indicating certain victory for the
drys.
The court" he said. ruled speci-
fically and plainly on this exact ques-
Carter. Faris, Judge, it said: when
a referendum petition. verified as re-
quired by statute. purporting to con-
tain the requisite number of names, is
presented to the secretary of State,
he must file the same and leave to
the courts the determination OF ques-
tons Of latent fraud, forgery and
hermetic illegality.'
THE court goes on to say that II
will be seen that the sole question to
be determined by the secretary of
State that the petition contains the
names of per cent of the voters in
two-thirds of the congressional dis
tricts,' and adds pertinently: Tt in
wolves more of arithmetic than II does
Of discretion, either judicial or other
sort
LAS to the constitutionality of the
measure the court has said before
that it Is not concerned with hypo-
thetfcal eases and will wait until meas
nres become laws before considering
their constitutionality.
IF. by any chance we should lose.
however, you may say that there Is
ample time in which to make our APP
peal to the voters to see that there Is
not single wet candidate returned
districts. and thus force statutory
prohibition by legislative enactment
in January 1917. six months earlier"
Mr.. Faris pointed out several in
consistencies In the secretary Of
States position. The petition was
filed June 90. 1t was sent to the at
torney-general as required by law
and passed by Mr.. Barker. Ten days
ago Mr.. Roach had sample ballots
printed with the prohibition amend
ment thereupon together with the
Blind pension and the Gardner land
bank bills and sent these ballots out.
Apparently MIR, Roach has had a sud-
den change of heart.
The expense which he states he
is DESTROYS of saving the taxpayers
would consist solely Of the extra inch
of paper in the ballot. and in the le-
gal advertisements. Mr.. Roach must
have forgotten that we are gang to
have an election anyway. and that
there are two other constitutional
amendments to be submitted
John II. Lucas. L. A. Laughln and
f. p. Walsh will represent the drys
before the Supreme Court.
