Two deaths have resulted from the plunge of an automobile over p. thirty-foot embankment four miles north west ot here this morning At 3 o'clock. One man was Instantly killed and an other, Clifford Townsend, died at o'clock this afternoon at the hospital at Missouri Vuiley. The bodies of tho young men will be brought here for burial. The dead! DELL HOWARD, ULlFFOiUD TOWNSEND. Hcrlously Injured: Earl Bone. Farnk Walker, Ilchard Alvln. The parties all reside here and had been spending yesterday In Omaha, returning lust nliht Tho dead man Is at a morgue In Missouri Val.ey and the Injured are all n a hospital there. As near as can be learned the car was working all right until It reached tho point where the accident occurred. At that point there had been a waahout early In the aeason. It had been filled and when ths car struck the soft earth the wheels skidded. The car went over the embankment dropping something like thirty feet and turning turtle. All of the occupants were pinioned under the ma chine and held there until rescued by passersby more than two Kburs later. At the time of, the accident the car was moving not to exceed six miles per hour. According to correspondence passing between Prdf. W. D. Marks and First Assistant City -".Attorney Lambert Prof!. Markn is practically on record as en dorsing the terms of the gas franchise 'to be voted on Tuesday. Prof. Marks, It j will be remembered, was thb expert cm I ployed by the city lost year to make an appraisal or the gas property and re port on a fair price of gas In Omaha. Assistant City Attorney Lambert ad mitted yesterday that after the city and I tho gas company had agreed upon the proposed franchise and the principal con ditions had been embodied In a bill pre sented to tho legislature, ho had written to Prof. Marks, Informing him of the terms of the settlement Marks, under dato of January 13, 1311, according to Mr. Lambert, wrote the lat ter, saying: "In reply to your favor ot the 8th current, I would say that the tcrmB mentioned In It appear fair, and that I will write you nt ltngth as soon as I can review my report carefully." Wo Farther Word. Inasmuch as Marks neither amplified nor abandoned this opinion In subsequent correspondence tho assistant city attorney has concluded that the expert considers tho compromise franchise a fair deal to tho people. Marks expressed tho opinion, also, that It was "very satisfactory to find the gas company willing to nego tiate" The bill, which passed the legis lature, was the one authorising the com promise franchise and contains tho vital features ot the franchise word for word, Including the section relating to the fix ing of rates and regulation ot rates by the city. Marks In 1912 found that In his opinion a rate of 07.5 cents per thousand was sufficient In Omaha to yield a 6 per cent return on his own .appraised value of the property, provided an allowcrtco was made far going value. Without going value, he said, a rate of about 93 cents would be sufficient Valuation Too Lott. The gas company has contended strenu ously that the Marks valuation Is far too low and that they could easily so prove In court Inasmuch as the court In the Des Moines case found a valuation more than $090,000 greater for the Des Moines gas property than Marks found for the Omaha property, those who followed the Des Moines case say they tear Marks Is considerably low on his Omaha figures. Another point which has been discussed at the city hall Is the startling Increase In the price ot gas, oil and gas coal which has taken place slnco Marks gathered his figures and made his re port. These advances are emphaalted Jo a report which the engineering firm ot Burns & McDonnell have Just made for St Joseph, Mo., after an Investigation. St Joseph, It appears, has been using natural gas piped up front Oklahoma and lower Kansas, but the supply Is falling, and It will be only a short time before tt will be necessary to. return to tho manufactured product. In order to be In position to negdtlato a fair rata for manufactured gas with tho local bus company, the, city hlrod Burns A Mo Donnoll to make an appraisal and re port Dollar Oaa at St. Joseph. The report has just beet, made publla and the summary published In the St Joseph newspapers. The engineers con eluded that n rate ot 11 per thousand was the lowest tho city could hop to success fully enforce, but even this. It appoars, is not calculated to return a 8 per cent yield on the appraised value of the prop, vrty. The rato of 1 It was figured would yield SH per cent upon a certain esti mated consumption, and 6ft per cent on the maximum consumption estimated. Price of Oil Goes Up. Paragraphs from tho report read: "At the time the gas Investigation was first Instituted oil, one of the commodi ties used In' water gas, was available at a price of from 1M cents to 2 cents per gallon, depending on tho grado ot oil. In the last few months the prices on oil have advanced to an unreasonably high figure and beyond any plausible explana tion, until the prevnlllng price ranges from H cents to 6M cents per gallon. This difference In the price of oil. for tho amount used In the manufacture of 1,000 cubic feet of water gas, makes a very large difference In the cost of pro ducing water gas. There Is approximately four and a halt to five gallons of oil used In overy 1,000 cublo feet of water. At this Increase In price you will note the average lncreasod cost of water gat per 1,000 oubla feet would amount to ap. proximately 16 cents. In other words If water gas could be sold at tho present time at 11 per 1,000 cublo feet, at the time your Investigation was first Instituted It could have been produced and distrib uted at 16 cents less per 1,000 cubic feet, or at 84 cents." The report also says: "Advances In the price of coal making gas have ma terially affected the production of coal gas as well, and since your city Insti tuted the gas Investigation, this advance has added approximately 10 per cent to tho cost ot producing coal gas." sssl iBBBBBBaBaV vidHSBBBSBk. .SSBSBSBSBBSH JUDGE JAMES QOW, Bellevue.

Attorney J. Kasby Smith, representing Representative J. T. McDermott, told the committee ho would bring Allan A.

"I have a contract to begin after this hearing, but I don't think you have any right to Inquire Into my private business," retorted McMichael, when pressed for details. Tho committee finally required a fuller answer. "I am under a verbal agreement, not one In writing," began McMichael. "I am out of a job and must make a living. So I agreed to write a story ot 'Twenty Years a ouse Employe,' but It was, expressly understood I was not to write It until after this Investigation." "And you receive 175 a week' "Yes. sir.'

"Did you Intend to supress all you have told If McDermott paid you the 1325?" "Absolutely not," said McMichael; "I Intended to do just what I am going, tell the unvarnished truth." Pittsburgh Officers Hunt for Murderers Preliminary Instructions Issued to llomeseekers Interested tn Fort Aiobrorn Openlnsr to Take Place In October. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-(Special Tele gram.) Plans tor opening about 300,000 acres of the North Platte forest reserve to settlement have been halted, a ques tion aa to the lgallty and desirability of the method partially decided upon having arisen. Tho department had proposed to allow settlers to go upon the land they desired a month In advance of filing, thinking to do away with the plan of drawing allotments. The legality of this method has been questioned since the plan was proposed and objections were also entered by the land offices at both Brokn Bow and North Platte, each of which has jurisdiction over some of the land to be opened. The fear has been expressed that be cause tho lapd. Is rough and hilly more than one prospective settler' might select tho same piece of land unwittingly and that It would result In all sorts of com plications and possible vfolent disputes as to which had tho prior claim. Representative KInkald has taken the matter up with the secretary of tho In terior and believes that If a special act Is necessary It can bo passed In time to allow the opening to take place this fall. He Is waiting for a recommendation from the secretary. In the meantime all plans regarding tho proposod opening ore up In tho air. Hearing1 for IUrnl Tonni.

SILOS TO SAVE CORN CROP M THE CATLE (Ctoilnued from Page One.) hours have aroused the community. Tho first came to light when the body of Miss Pauline Loos, a young school teacher ot Cratton, Pa., was found float Ing In the Allegheny river near Vernon. An autopsy revealed that she had been assaulted and thrown Into the river while unconscious. The other crlmo was tho shooting to death of Nicholas Ultortl. who was talk ing with a party' ot friends In Washington street not far from n busy business dis trict. Persons In the party who wore taken to police headquarters declared, a man ran Into the crowd, tired four shots Into IUtortl'a body and escaped. It will not take place for possibly two months. The department. It appears, has taken saving this Injured corn crop without tbe outlay of any great amount ot money, according to Prof. Chase. He says that a. wooden silo .holding eighty tons may be erected for about flSO, which will last for several years and give good sat isfaction, and that tho same sized silo may be built In the ground at a cost ot from tit to ins. He also states that on Inexpensive outfit for filling such a silo may be obtained for 775 and up, and an engine may be hired or purchased. .Now la the Time to Aet.
