The track was pushed out of line for about 200 feet and the extent of the damage will not be known until the rock is removed. The origin of the slide has not yet been determin- ed. Small rock and debris are said to be still sliding. The slide is said to he the largest of it's nature in the history of the Alaska Railroad.
 Building Temporary Track
 Steam shovel crew Nc. 2 are already at work clearing the track, having reached the slide yesterday after noon from Curry. Maternal for the the construction of q temporary track around the slide will be sent from headquarters at Anchorage. Between 25 and 35 men will Ec placed on the work ard it is expected the clearing will be completed within a few days.
 The Sutton Jonesville train will mt run Ir account of the slide, but will run to Moose Creek Thursday and maybe to Jonesvi,le if the line is open. Ii will carry freight and passengers to Moose Geek and VII return Thurs day from Moose Creek.
 Claim Earthquake Re ponsible
 Railroad workmen on the Matanus- ka branch say that at the time of the avalanche a perceptible earthquake shock was felt, and this is believed to have been responsible for the immense mass of rock hurtling down upon the track.
 While the Jonesville mine is cut off and will be unable to ship coal un- til the slide is removed, the railroad will not be inconvenienced by a fuel shortage, having a supply in the yard and the Moose creek and Healy mines to draw from.

BIB RICK SLIDE TIES UP BRANCH LINE

A rock slide, estimated to be about 275 feet long and from 35 to 45 feet deep, on the track covered the Mata- nuska branch of the Alaska Railroad at Mile Post 15, between Moose creek and Sutton sometime Monday, says the Anchorage Daily Alaskan of the Sth inst. The slide came from a 60 foot cliff which rises from an open cut on the line, and extends 50 feet beyond the track and into the Mata- nuska river. It was discovered by a trackwalker on the branch, there be- ing no eyewitness as far as is known here.

 FORMALLY SIGNED
Absence Of Kings Name ArOus-
 es Comment
(By Associated Press. ]

LONDON, Aug. S.-British and sO- viet representatives signed the Anglo soviet treaty and trade agreement. at 6 o'clock tonight in a small room at the foreign office. There was no cere- mony and only few officials were present, as visitors and newspapermen were not admitted.
 Premier Macdonald and Christian Rakovsky, the Russian charge d'af- faires at London, spoke briefly, both expressing qualification that the nego. tiations had resulted in what they re garded as q decided step forward in the relations between the British and Rus. sian soviet governments.
 Premier Macdonald and Arthur POn- sonby, under secretary for foreign af fairs, affixed their signatures for Great Britain and Nj. Rakovsky, Adolph Joffe, M. Tomski and Nj. Schienmann signed for the sOviets.
 Much discussion has been provoked by the fact that the name of the king is absent from the treaty, but tonight the likelihood was pointed to of the kings signing the treaty if it is rati fled, since constitution requires that this be done.

MONOPOLY SYSTEM

Wisconsin Man Thinks Raising Of Other Questions Most
 Unfortunate
tBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Aug. B.. Senator La Toilette of Wiscon- sin, independent candidate for President, in a letter made public today declared he is s'unalterably opposed to the evident purposes of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed in it's public acts"
 Tt cannot long survive, ]" continued the senator. Rely ing upon the sound Judgment and good sense of our people, it is my opinion that such a movement is foredcomed. It has within it's own body the seeds of it's death."
 Ths letter, aSarssssd to Robert scrApps, newspaper publisher, was given ont for publication at Senator La Fol ietfeS office. Declaring 1t t'unfortunate that questions involving religious opin- ion and other questions unreIated to the vital issue of the restoration of the government to the people have been raised in this as in other critical years of our national history" the letter added
 Such controversies feed upon and inflanie prejudice and passion to the exclusion of issues involving the very life of the government itself"
 Monopoly Main Issue.
 Senator La Toilette declared at the outset of his letter that "the one dom inant, all-embracing issue in this cam paign is to break the combined power of the private monopoly system over the political and economic life of the Amer jean people.
 ''This power,D he continued, '.eontrols every important branch of industry mining, manufacturing and transporta- tion. It controls markets and credits and dictates the prices of every product necessary to feed, clothe, warm and shelter the human family. To control that which sustains life is to control life itself. This is economic slavery. Free government cannot long exist side by side with economic despotism."
 With reference to the Ku Klux Klan issue, the Senator said :
 Anyone familiar with my record, especially in my own state, knows that 1 have always stood without reserve tion against any discrimination between saces, classes and creeds hold that every citizen is entitled to the full ex- srcise of his eonstitutional,r rights"
 Text Of Let,
 The complete text of Senator La Tollettes letter. dated August 5, 1924, follows:
 "Mr. Robert P. Scripps,
 "New York City.
 Dear MT. Scripps:
 ''Your letter of August list, received. You ask where stand on the Ku Klux Klan. Similar inquiries have come to me from others. I take the liberty of making my answer to you public. This will inform all those interested in know ing my attitude on this question.
 But first, and before all else, am bound to say that in my view the one dominant, all-embracing issue in this campaign, is to break the combined power of the private monopoly system

 Look For Two More
(By Assoeiated Press.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. S.--With five of the persons who participated in the murder of Mrs. Rosalie Evans, who was slain near her hacienda Saturday in custody, the Mexican authorities today were seeking two others who were believed to have been in the party which attacked Mrs. Evans and her hacienda manager, John Strauss, fa- tally wOunding her, seriously injuring Strauss and escaping with the hacienda payroll which they were carrying.
 Several persons were arrested, charged with the crime in San Felipe Huictrion, a small town near Texmelu- ean, after Alejo Garcia, considered the ring leader of the band, had made a confession. Five of them confessed their guilt but the two others were freed by the police.
 Strauss. in q sanitarium at Puebia where he is receiving medical atten- ton for the injuries he sustained, iden- tified Garcia, in whose possession the police found the bag in which Mrs. Evans carried 500 pesos the day she was slain. The hacienda manager later also identified positively Quirino Gar, cia and Eraneisco Ruiz.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, 'can go as far as he likes" in making public correspond ence between himself and John w.. Davis, democratic presidential nominee, Mir. Davis declared tonight on the eye of his departure for Clarksburg, w. Va.
 He telegraphed Mir. Gompers to this effect.
 Mir. Davis telegram also said he was willing to stand on his labor record without any fear as to the outcome.
 Davis For Homo
 Later accompanied by Mrs. Davis and his personal staff, he left here for his home town, where on Monday night he will have confirmed officially. what he has referred to as rumOrs, that he has been selected to carry the stand ard of the democratic party in the presidential campaign.
 Beyond the acceptance address, Mir. Davis has no speaking engagements, but it was announced today at his head- quarters here that he will make his second set speech of the campaign within two weeks, The section of the country in which it will be delivered was not stated, but 1t is known that many of his advisers have urged that he speak in the west.
 From the time of the delivery of that address until the campaign ends in No vember, the democratic nominee will be very active, it was said. Denial was made, however, that he would under take to cover more territory on his speaking tours than any candidate has yet done.
 4O Return To New York
 Though a final decision probably will be deferred until after the can didate has conferred with members of the national committee and other lead CTS at Clarksburg he probably will re- turn to his home on Long island early next week and there prepare his second campaign speech.
 After the home coming ceremonies at Clarksburg upon his arrival early tomorrow, Mir. Davis will go to his old home, where his sister, Miss Emma Davis, now lives. Later he will motor 10 Fairmont, 30 miles away, to de- liver what is described as non-pol- itieal speech. Then he will return to ClarksbuFg.

As soon as the first swing was made, this man re- ported, he shouted at the negro and started funning toward him.
 Apparently surprised, Milton is said to have glanced quickly about, and, seeing a county workhorse stand- ing nearby, jumped astride the animal and made his getaway. The man said he gave chase, but the negro had gained too great a lead, and was forcing the horse.
 | With the disappearance of the horse, several dogs started barking so loudly that it attracted the attention of Ward den Hardin, of the camp, who ran to the spot and administered such first. aid measures as were possible.
