RAILROADS To
ELECTR|FY LINES
TO BE ONE OF BIG RESULTS OF
WATER POWER ACT

Washington, June 2S.-Presdent
Wilson today named Secretary of
War Baker, Secretary of the Interior
Payne and Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith, members of the commits
sion to carry out the provisions of
the water power act.
The commission will name eXecu-
tive officers to work under it at an
early date, and issue regulations by
which private enterprises will be per-
mitted to obtain long time leases on
water power sites now under gov
ernment control.
With the way opened, it was said
today by officials of the interior de-
partment, that early applicants for
power rights would be companies
proposing to make possible the cleo
trification of western railroads.
The success of the Milwaukee rail-
road in operating a 900 mile stretch
of electric road has encoura ged sim
liar action by the Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande.
Engineers had already completed
plans for Identification of several
important mountain stretches OF
road, it was said by H. Stabler, en-
gineer of the geological survey
These stretches include:
Between Albuquerque, N. NJ, and
Barstow, Cal, on the Santa Fe.
Between Denver and Salt Lake
City on the Denver & Rio Grande.
In mountainous territory in south
ern Oregon and northern California
and between Los Angeles and Sar
Francisco, on the Southern Pacific.

SEEK To UNITE
GOLD INTERESTS
DEADWOOD BUSINESS MEMS
CLUB ASKS ORGANIZATION
OF ALL INTERESTED TO
SAVE INDUSTRY

Deadwood, June 28.-The mining
committee of the Deadwood Business
Mems club and mining interests OF
the Black Hills have taken the initia-
tive in organizing the gold mining in
terests of the United States and Alas
ka, so the gold mining industry can
secure the relief needed from con-
gress to again place it on a paying
basis.
Evidence is to be introduced in
congress proving that unless a great
er price is paid for gold, or an in
crease of not less than $40 an ounce
the gold mining industry may be
considered a thing of the past.
In a circular letter sent to all those
interested in gold mining in the
United States and Alaska the Dead
wood Business Mems club, in urging
the organization of the gold mining
men of the country and Alaska, ad-
vances these arguments:
"The time is now ripe when an or
SANITATION of gold miners must be
organized to look after its interests.
The copper, zinc, lead and iron inter
ests have been organized for many
years, with the result they have been
able to meet the new conditions
which have come about on account
of the war, and the increase in the
price of labor, supplies and other
conditions"
Gold mining alone of all the in
dustries is without an organization,
and when a hearing was held before
the recent session of congress on a
matter which was of vital importance
to the industry, it had only one rep
resentative from the entire United
States to present its case.
1--WE must have an organization
that will include all those who are
engaged in gold mining, or dependent
upon it in any way-the prospector,
the miner, bankers, business men,
stockholders as well as the actual
producers of the precious metal
Action must be taken at once
1t is proposed that the organiza-
tion to be effected by the gold min
ing interests will work in conjunc-
tion with the American Mining con-
gress
The organization may push meas
ure which was introduced at the last
session of congress, which provides
for the payment of a bonus of SIC
per ounce on all gold mined in the
United States and Alaska until the
cost of production returns to the be,
fore-the-war status.

TAFT ADDRESSES
LARGE AUDIENCE
SPOKE ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AND DEFENDED HIS ATTI-
TUDE ON COVENANT

1t is estimated that over a thou
sand people assembled at the chau-
tauqua auditorium yesterday to hear
eX-President Taft explain the mean
ing of the league of nations.
At the outseta of his speech Mr.
Taft mentioned the connecting his
tory leading up to the question of
world league whose object is sup
posed to be general peace amity of
relations. He gave a full eXplana-
tion of league provisions and their
submission by the president to con-
gress.
The reservations were also ana
Used and explained in simple Ian
guage. Just what effect these would
have on the future relations of this
country and Europe if adopted, were
carefully outlined. The speaker men
toned our position in the world and
our qualifications for leadership.
This nation is considered unselfish
and imbued with christian principles
and it was Mr.. Taft's opinion that
new political and commercial broth
erhood among not only the five big
powers but also with several of the
smaller states, the idea being to
cement a lasting friendship that
would avert and promote peace and
happiness.
The entire speech was given from
non-partisan standpoint, no refer
ence being made as to what either
national convention had done or
might do in the way of adopting a
league plank in a party platform.
Mr.. Taft has always been a strong
advocate of the league of nations
and is anxious for its adoption and
operation even if it be necessary to
compromise by striking out Article
X. He was sure that such a pact
would hasten disarmament and bring
the nations into closer unity. The
audience was assured that no vestige
of our sovereignty would be lost in
covenant that did not bind us to
pledge our aid when war seemed inn
minent Every statement was a con-
else piece of clear reasoning and
those who were fortunate enough to
hear our former president felt that
a great impression had been made.
After the talk at the auditorium
Mr.. Taft was taken by auto to Sioux
Falls where he took a train for other
points on his travelling schedule.

REFORM SCHOOL
: INMATES ESCAPE
WILLIAMSON, NIGHT WATCHMAN,
A SIOUX FALLS MAN, VICTIM
OF ATTACK BY BOYS

Sioux Falls, June 2S.-John Will
for number of years, now a guard
at the state reform school at Plank
ington was so severely injured when
slugged by pillow case full of bed
castings welded by escaping in
mates Wednesday night that he is in
a serious condition.
The delivery which resulted in the
temporary escape of three lads and
the apparently effective getaway of
fourth was regarded as one of the
boldest ever staged at the state re-
form school,
The plot was said to have been
proposed and engineered by Gerrett
Hoffman. There were 20 inmates of
the school in the band. In the mid
die of the night casters were removed
from beds and used as a slug shot.
Williamson, the nightwatchman, was
knocked cold by the first blow.
Believing Williamson had been
killed all but four of the youths be-
came frightened and refused to con-
tinue the effort to escape. The other
four, however, left the training
school. Three of them stole car in
the town of Plankinton and started
south. At Stickney they broke into
garage and stole supply of gaso-
line. Arriving at Wagner ealy in the
morning they broke into residence
and stole clothing which they hastily
put on as they had escaped scantily
attired.
However, before the party could
get out of Wagner a deputy sheriff
who had been notified of their escape
came upon them in an alley and
brought about the capture. They
were returned to Plankinton.
Later Hoffman was transferred to
the training school at Platte. The
fourth lad who was barefooted has
not been captured. His tracks were
followed for some distance from the
school and then lost.
This is the second time that Hoff-
man has escaped from Plankinton.
Recently he made his escape, stole
car in Mitchell and was not caught
until he had almost reached the
Black Hills.
