GRAND JURY CONTINUING
PROBE OF BOMB OUTRAGE

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Despite
the fact that William J. Flynn of the
department Of justice ridicules the
theory that the Wall street explo-
sion was an accident due to careless
handling of explosives, the grand
jury today continued its probe strict
ly along that line.
The only witnesses scheduled to
appear before that body are the su-
perintendents and the drivers of the
companies that deal in explosives.

RESULTS TWO.DAY
SPEED PROGRAM
Manders Wins Derby;
Nash Beats Essex in
Match Race

The riding and speed program a,
the fair Wednesday and Thursday
were of greatest interest, and nc
better events have been seen in the
intermountain country. No unusual
records were made, but the races
were as rule keenly contested. The
running track is new and still soft
and precludes the possibility of any
fast time. The committee in charge
of the wild west program told the
riders to cut loose, and the events
Wednesday and Thursday were up
to grade in every respect. The cow
boys usually stuck" their mounts
but occasionally the horse became
the winner.
Manders Wins Derby
The running races have been keen
ly contested every day. The Irwin
and Manders strings have been TAX
ing the biggest share of the purses,
while Tom Osborn string has taken
some Of the money. Interest in the
meet centered in the Farm Bureau
derby, one-mile running race which
was held Thursday. Ra Do, a Mand-
ers entry, won this event, with Gale,
Tom Osborn's horse second, and an
Irwin entry, Gift, in third place. The
time, LAC, was considered good in
consideration of the track. The purse
in this event was $400.
Nash Beats Essex
The Nash-Essex special auto race,
which has aroused great deal of
interest in auto circles, was run
The distance was three
miles. The Nash car, driven by
Sprague of Salt Lake, drew the pole.
From a standing start the Nash took
the lead which it it maintained and
nearly half a lap ahead of
the Essex. The Essex was driven by
Johnson of Arco. The time was
4:48.
Other Events Please
Other events on the program were
the cowboy races, the Indian relay,

resented the patriotic citizenship Of
Washington, and should never again

Senator Jones would not have dared
to seek denomination in the face Of
the indignation aroused everywhere
by his perverse and unpatriotic atti-
tude.
One by one all the other "willful
eleven" republicans and democrats
alike have gone to defeat in their
campaign for denomination or for re-
election, as fast as their term expired
and the people had an opportunity to
administer the rebuke. The latest to
fall by the wayside was the blind
Senator Gore Of Oklahoma, whose
cowardly and dishonorable resolutions
Jones supported. Gore wa3 defeated
for denomination at the recent Okla
homa primary.
Will Jones escape the fate of the
rest Of the "wilful eleven? Have
the people Of Washington such short
ememories as to forget the sorry ex-
hibition Of pro-Germanism and max
ing Common Cause with Poltroons"
by which they are "Humiliated before

for Jones. Above $4,000 voted for
other candidates and more than TO-
900 refused or neglected to vote for
any one for senator although Jones'
name was at the head Of the ballot.
The November election should fin-
ish the job for Senator Jones. Surely
the 102,500 republicans who refused
to vote for him at the primaries will
not sully their patriotic pledges of
non-support by voting for him on Nov
embar End, with the opportunity to
elect in his place such an outstanding,
clear-cut, true American as George
F. Cottterill. Of proven experience
and capacity as State Senator, and a
man Of state, national and interna-

GOOD CONTAINERS IMPORTANT
IN PARCEL POST MARKETING

One important requirement for par
eel post shipping and marketing is a
proper and satisfactory container the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture points out. Sometimes the con-
sumer can secure containers more
readily and economically than the pro-
Queer. Those with handles are much
less likely to be damaged in transit
in the mails than those which are no.
thus supplied and which are likely to
be tossed or thrown or handled by the
string or Irvine used in tying them.
A bamboo basket serves the purpose
very we'll and may be used a long
time. Ordinary splint baskets made
of strips of veneer may be used, and
If they can be secured at a price SUIT
ficiently cheap new one for each
shipment is more economical than
having them returned, unless they
are sent back in lots of 10 or more
under one cover. This, of course,
necessitates using them without
wooden handle, in which case heavy
Irvine should be used for handle, or
placed in one another, for return
shipment. II a basket with a wooden
handle is used, care should be taken
to see that it is securely nailed, no.
only at the rim Of the basket but
farther down toward the bottom, SO
as to prevent undue leverage, which
may break loose the mailing.

Jones had just succeeded in flibuster-

which sought to authorize the plac-
ing OF naval guns on American mer-
chant ships to protect them against
submarines.

March 8. 1917. had been describe

A few days before this filibuster

Senator Jones voted in support OF
the infamous "Gore Resolution"
which proposed to withdraw our ships
from the ocean, and keep Americans
of the ships of other nations.
For these and other obstructive
and odious acts during February and
March of 1917, Just as America was
