Kansas None of enough moment to
do any damage. This morning nice,
bright sunshine helped to temper
down cool temperatures in Kansas.
The, whole state was treated to sun
shine. More coming tomorroy. Boy,
howdy. Farmers in the state of Kan
sas are wearing the first smile they
lot better now.
According to Flora a few days of
sunshine are worth a vast amount of
money to Kansas. Wheat is coming
up The plants beaten down by the
heavy rains are raising their heads,
heavy with grain, again toward the
welcome sunshine. A great deal of
the wheat will come back" just how
much, Flora says it is impossible to
estimate for a. few days.
At 6 o'clock this morning the tenn
perature registered 54 degrees, or
seven degrees below normal Tomor-
row temperatures will range between
SIS and rs degrees. The river is fall
ing again. The highest stage reached

rough in the central part

ssWOlf of Wall Street" Plotted
Against Allies.

New York, June 6.-The conviction
of David Lamar, otherwise known as
the Wolf of Wall street, for conspiring
to prevent the transportation of. war
munitit ms from the United States to
the allies, has been confirmed by the
United states circuit court Of appeals.
A similar decision was given in this
case of Henry B. Martin, member of
the so-called labor's national peace
council
Both men have been out on bail
pending appeal. They were originally
sentenced to one year each in the
Mercer county, New Jersey. prison.
The conspiracy for which Lamar was
convicted was headed by Captain
Franz Won Rintelen, said to be the
head of, the German spy system in
this country during the war. Won
Rintelen was sentenced to eighteen
months Imprisonment and Is now in
Atlanta prison. At the time that La

turned against Frank Buchanan, for
mer representative from Illinois; H.
Robert Fowler, also a former Illinois
Representatives; Frank S. SMonnett, for
mer attorney general of Ohio; Jacob
A. Taylor, a New Jersey labor leader,
and Herman Schulteis, a lawyer. The

NO Law VIOLATED
Pennsylvania Official Frees the
Mine Owners From Guilt.
Dead in Wilkes Barre Disaster
Now Total SO.

Wilkes Barre, June 6.-State and
local authorities today were conduct
ing. separate investigation into the
explosion in tunnel of the Delaware
&c Hudson Coal company yesterday
that cost the lives of eighty-three men
and the injury of fifty others. A large
number of the injured were seriously
burned and manned and it is feared
many of them cannot recover.
There was difference of opinion as
to the exact cause of the accident,
which occurred while the men were on
their way to work in a. train of four
teen mine cars drawn by an electric
motor. In the middle of the train
were two cars containing seven kegs
of black powder. According to sur
vivors, the overhead trolley wire
sagged when the train had penetrated
the tunnel about 200 feet and touched
steel powder key, forming a short
circuit and setting off the powder.
Officials of the company, after an in
vestigation, expressed the opinion that
steel bar or drill carried by one of
the men came in contact with the
wire, forming a short circuit which
caused the powder to give way.
Early reports that the mine laws
were violated by carrying men and ex-
plosives on the same train were de-
MED by seward Button, ch1ef or the
state bureau of mines. Mr.. Button
said the state mine code contained no
regulations on the transportation of
explosives. He declared this was a
greivous omission and that he would
issue regulations on his own RESPONSE
bility which would check careless
methods and insist that they be obeyed
until they can be enacted into law.
A Community Funeral.
Plans were formulated today for a
community funeral for the victims to-
morrow. Community requiem mass
will be celebrated at the Holy Saviour
Catholic church.
The city was in mourning this morn
ing. Despite a heavy downpour to
add to the gloom which hangs over the
community. relief parties were out
early aiding families of those who
were killed and those injured.
Arrangements have been made to
close every colliery in this district to-
morrow for the funeral. Thousands
of persons are expected to attend serv-
ices.
Most of the bodies will be buried in
the Wilkesbarre cemetery.

News on Strikc-Union Yields.
Vancouver, June 6.-The firm stand
taken by local newspapers in their re-
fusal to permit censorship of strike
news by the Typographical union won
for the newspapers today. when the
union conceded to the papers their
editorial rights.
Two days ago the union rejected
the call to join the sympathetic strike
here and the men remained at work,
but informed thea publishers they
would not set up for printing any news
on the strike which was deemed un-
fair. Any newspaper refusing to abide
by the decision was to be left without
a staff of compositors. All the papers
united in refusing to permit union
censorship. Il

The market had better chance to reflect
outside sentiment today following the Wig

for renewed buying Low priced rails were
