Secret Service Men Active and
Many Indictments Will Be
Demanded.
WIRELESS STOPS TRAIN
Control System Invented by Toronto
Man Puts Invisible Brakes On.
Ottawa. Drawing a train of 12 cars
and rushing over the rails at a speed
of 45 miles an hour on a stretch of
track near the city of Toronto, a pow-
erful engine on the Canadian Pacific
, Railway service was brought to a
quick standstill, with the throttle
wide open, and the engineer standing
In hU cab, a -mere spectator, like
those present with him, to view the
wonder.
The brakes had been applied on the
big locomotive and train of cars by a
wireless wave of electricity. It
seemed as If a giant had seized the
equipment and held it with ease.

Power House Is Wrecked.
New York. Twelve persons were
killed, two of them women, and 30
were injured In a double explosion of
gas and dynamite in the new electric
power-house of the New York Central
Railroad Monday morning.
The power house, which Is built of
stone and brick and Is six stories
high, took fire after the explosion and
the interior was practically burned
out. Fortunately for the thousands
of commuters on the New York Cen
tral's lines, the force of the dyna
mite blasts was directed In an oppo
site direction from the railroad
tracks.
Chlcngo. Investigation of the al- i
leged relations between officials of I
the Western Union Telegraph Com- !
pany and the "bucket shop" ring were 1
started Monday lmmediate'y after the ,
new Federal grand jury had been Im- i
paneled and organized. Fifty or more i
subpoenas were plaoed in the hands
of the United States marshal, for wit
At the same time no fewer than 50
Indictments against the alleged ring
of "bucketsuop" operators were de
manded. Raids of the Capital Investment
(Jompany, of which "Sid" McHie,
stock market plunger and old-time
gambler, is head, have resulted in the
exposure of a system of "fake" brok
erage which government secret serv
ice agents declare is without rival.
Each year the company is said to
have netted its promoters not leBs
than $7,500,000, which came out of
the pockets of "suckers" living in
towns in Western states. This profit
was reaped from a total business of
(10,000,000.

CANADIAN FARMERS
MAKE BIGDEMANDS
Ottawa, Ont. The delegation of
9,000 Canadian farmers presented
their demands to the Canadian gov
ernment and received their answer.
The reply made by Premier Sir Wil
frid Laurler did not come up to the
expectation of the delegation.
The farmers asked for the immedi
ate revision of the tariff downward;
for free, trade on agricultural imple
ments, cement, lumber and natural
produots of Canada and the United
States; for a larger measure of pref
erence to Great Britain and a pro
gram that would lead to free trade
with England in ten yean, and finally
to direct taxation.
They asked for government owner
ship and control of terminal eleva
tors; for a government-built and op
erated railroad to Hudson's Bay; for
the establishment by the government
of a oullled meat industry in western
Canada; for amendments to the rail
way law which would tend to lower
rates and compel companies to pay
for stock killed on tracks under any
circumstances.
Remains Desert Entryman.
Pendleton. R. J. Slater Is in Wash
ington to urge the interior depart
ment to give him a favorable decision
on the status of his desert land entry
near Pendleton. As he entered the
office of the department official who
had the matter in charge, he found
him in the act of Bigning a favorable
decision.
Slater had a desert claim of 320
acreB, into which the reclamation ser
vice had cut with the Umatilla pro
ject and the service insisted that
Slater must take water from the gov
ernment project. Department of the
Interior rules that he need not do so.
Lockjaw Case Puzzles.
Salem. After baffling physicians
for three days with an aggravated
case of lockjaw, Ray Brondell, 13-year-old
boy, died. Mystery as to
where he contracted the disease and
how be contracted it has made it dif
vcult for those In attendance to fight
agalnBt its ravages.
There was not a scratch on the
I boy's body, and his parents have no
: satisfactory explanation to give. One
of the attending physicians believes
that the disease may have entered
the boy's system through a decayed
tooth, which, If true, is considered a
remarkable instance of infection.
