WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Alarmed
over the menacing aspect of the walk

this afternoon enlisted the aid of John

Mr.. White was summoned to the 1uel
administrator soon after he reached
Washington from the middle west

promptly set the machinery of his or

ministrator Garfield that failing in his
attempt to secure an early adjustment
he will proceed to Illinois to take per
sonal charge of the situation.
Dr. Garfield's advices from Illinois
were far from encouraging.

URDAY AFTERNOON
A Grand Work Being
Accomplished
Reports of Committees Indicate
Increasing Interest and Effort
Membership in Twin Falls Coun-
ty Aggregates 4734.

In a sort of general, impersonal and
far-away manner, everybody knows to
what an immense task the Red Cross
organization has set itself, how mar
velous has been its progress hither-
to and how worldwide are it's plans
for the future. Nevertheless, there
are few, we think, who would not, as
did the writer, obtain a nearer and
clearer sense of all this by being pres
ent at the annual meeting of the
Twin Falls Chapter, which was held
at the high school auditorium last
Saturday afternoon.
Including representatives from
few of the seventeen auxiliaries, there
were present some sixty or seventy
women and a half-dozen mere men.
Notwithstanding the fact that a doz-
EN- of the ladies were busily knitting
upon what was clearly intended for
soldiers wear and that half as many
more were keeping watch and ward
over very small children, there was
present an atmosphere of serious in
tentness that could not be ignored.
Many reports were made and much
business transacted-all in an assur-
ference that an organization of wom-
en would ever do otherwise is not in
tended; but when Mrs. Vice President
Ostrander stated to the ladies that
the daily bulletins of instruction from
national headquarters were not only
confusing, but sometimes at direct
variance, and added that perfect meth
cd was hardly to be expected from al
organization in which the member
ship within six months, had increased
from two hundred and sixty Thousand
to over four millions, some local vag
aries might have been cOndOned, ever
if not expected.
The president, DR.. Wilson, was IL
the chair and after the minutes of thu
last meeting had been read and ap
proved and the vice president, Mrs
Ostrander had made some announce
mess and explanations, reports o
committees were in order, and Mrs
Edwards, chairman of the sewing
committee, came first with a full an
very interesting one. Including hel

Loss Cannot Yet be

Market Called Off for the
Day.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct l6-
Thousands of cattle and hogs perish
ed in fire which broke out in the
Kansas City stock yards at 2 o'clock
this morning and burned until day
break, destroying 10 acres of cattle
pens and hog houses. Estimate of
the loss runs as high as 10000 cattle
and 1000 hogs.
Although officials said it was i'm
possible to make a close estimate of
the monetary loss, it was believed to
be close to million dollars.
None of the stock yards company
officials would say that a war plot
was suspected in the fire They said
however that a thorough investigation
would be made in an effort to learn
how the fire started.
The hundreds of head of cattle and
hogs which become mixed in the
streets and pens will be sold by the
directors of the livestock exchange
and the amount realized then prob
ably will be distributed by the cir.
cult court in accordance with evidence
submitted by owners as to the number
they had in the yards.
As q result of the fire there was NJ
market at the stock yards today
The fire is one of a series whicl
has burned areas of the stock yard
in the last few years. The compan.
has been replacing the burned sec
tions with concrete fireproof pens an
| houses.

by the committee.
THAT is all the statement I deem

Senator LaFollette, in his letter, in

Senator LaFollette declared that to

The dedicatory services Sunday
morning and evening were beautiful
and impressive The platform and
pulpit were tastily decorated with
flowers and the magnificent structure
pleased the eye, while the acoustic
properties proved to be of the best.
The music by the splendidly trained
choir under the leadership of Mr.. But
Ter was a feature that appealed to all.
Mrs Butler played accompaniment on
new piano, donated by friends of the
church in this city The program pub
lished in the Sunday TIMES was car
ried out to a letter. At the evening
service an orchestra of twelve pieces
! led by Dr. r. A. Parrott was an added
musical attraction. The people all ex-
pressed delight that the orchestra as
well as the choir would appear at the
great concert to be given Friday
night After the morning sermon,
President e. II. Todd, of Puget Sound
university, called attention to the fact
that there remained debt OF Slo,OOO
to be cleared. Many at once signified
a desire to help lift it. The congrega-
ton was edited when T. F. Warner
created a diversion by saying that he
would give $4,000 on pipe organ. The
amount was duplicated by c. A. Nc
Master. who had previously contribut-
ed $4,000. At night, DR.. t. G. lliff
and before adjournment the sum OF

besides the sum of $4,000 which had
