Brown of the New York Central rail

facing a critleal economic situation.
In a speech before the 21st annual
convention of the Minnesota Bankers'

the other hand, he said, the produc
tion of gold is increasing and thereby
lessening Its purchasing power, the
result being higher prices.
He said if the converging lines of
production and consumption contin

this country will face a big crisis.

FATHER'S DAY IN SPOKANE
'PROVES GREAT SUCCESS
Spokane, Wash. "My Daddy Is a
Grand Old Man," was the spirit of
special sermons by several rastors in
Spokane churches on the occasion of
Fathers' Day, June 19, and many en
dorsed the movement, originated by
Mrs. J. B. Dodd of this city, by wear
ing red roses in their coat lapels.
Mayor Nelson S. Pratt declined to is
sue a proclamation, calling upon the
residents of Spokane to observe the
day, giving as his reason that he has
no desire to stand sponser. "Besides,"
he added, "we already have enough
special days." This, however, did not
deter Mrs. Dodd In her ambition. She
broached the plan to a number of
ministers of the gospel and others,
asking: "With all due respect to
mother, what is home without a fath
er?" The answer came full and
strong: "Come to think of it, we're
some pumpkins after all. We've been
overlooked for many years. Let's
take our light from under the bushel.
We'll celebrate!.. We'll have a real
holiday." They did and in so doing
they placed "dad" upon a high pedes
tal, not as "the old man," but as
father, the head of the house, king
for a day. Mrs. Dodd Is working to
extend the movement all over the
nation.

Prlngle is described as a man 66
years of age with dark hair and
moustache streaked with gray. He
sometimes wears a vandyke beard and
though he Is a Scotchman he speaks
good English nnd is well educated.

tures to each of the two letters re
ceived was apparently written by two
different women.
A diligent search of the city of

but without avail.

It was announced at 3 o'clock
this afternoon that O. F. Har-

expected nearly any minute but
It is possible that he will linger
along for several hours or a few
days. It seems that his skull

today. 4
O. F. Harper, manager of the Pen

9:15 this morning. He Is now at St.

be able to determine the extent of
his injuries.

He was then drawn up under the
drive wheel, between it and the con
crete floor and It was In that position
that he was discovered by Wess Maple
the butter maker.
Hearing an unusual noise Maple
looked around from another part of
the plant to see the big drive wheel
grinding against the face and chest
of the prostrate man and apparently
crushing his life out. Maple at
tempted to pull him out from under
the wheel but could not do it with
the machinery In motion so he shut
off the power as quickly as possible.
Unconscious and bleeding at the
nose. Harper was rushed to the hos
pital where two physicians began
working over him. In addition to
the blow on the side and back of the
bend, his right ear was nearly torn
off, his left ear was cut and the en
tire front of his face was badly
bruised. One arm wns also bruised
but no bones were broken.
By the time the doctors had dress
ed his wounds he was beginning to re
gain consciousness and It Is now be
lieved that he will recover.
This mnkes the second life that
Maple has saved In the same plant
within two weeks. About ten days
ago. Loren Harris, an employ of the
plant, wns enught by a set screw
while attempting to put on the belt
for the pump. The butter maker cut
him loose from the shafting with a
large butcher knife, leaving him al
most as Innocent of clothing as a new
born babe. That he escaped with
bis life Is due to the miraculous man
ner In which his legs flew around,
knocking n belt off the pulley. The
two accidents happened within a few
feet of each other.
The conditions existing In the ma
chinery of the local plant reflect
somewhat on the deputy factory In
spector who was here a few weeks ago
and who reported the machinery as
safe. V

POSTAL BANKS BILL
IS NOT EFFECTIVE.
Washington, June 23. It has
been discovered that the postal
saving banks bill which passed
yesterday contains no provision
stating when it becomes effec
tive and has thus gone to the
president for his signature. Con
gress intended the bill should
not become effective until the
board of trustees has had an op
portunity to perfect the system
for operating the postal banks.
the house. Burton began filibuster
ing In the hope that the threatened
loss of so much time would cause the
senate to postpone action on the mea-
I sure. It was expected adjournment
4 wculd come Saturday, but now It il
J questionable. The bill on which Bur-
1 ton s speaking is the proposition that
the government, maintain reserves at
the headwaters of rivers in the Ap
palachian and White mountainsThe
bill was recommended by McKinley,
Roosevelt and then Taft.
The filibustering on the measure
came as a surprise to congress. When
the postal savings bank bill passed
in the senate without a sign of such
j tactics, the leaders believed all ob-
siacies in me way or an early a a
Journment had been removed. The
forest reserve bill was regarded as
a minor matter which could be dis
posed of or allowed to go over. The
fight has caused a hasty conference
of senate leaders. It is possible a
night session will be held tonight to
allow Burton to complete his remarks
which he estimates will taka twenty
hours.
