avenue The car was travelling at q
moderate rate of speed when there came
IN explosion which was heard several
blocks away.
Part Of the flooring of the car was
blown up. some of it striking the top of
the car The car came to sudden
standstill. An examination showed that
a tank underneath the car had exploded,
presumably having been overcharged
It is believed that either the iron Of the
tank was defective or that the tank was
subjected to too great a pressure. The
accident is likely to be used as a CLUB by
the opponents of the air motor system.

On the subject of protection in this con-
nection, the secretary says in part:
So long as the income Of the government
from customs and internal taxes exceeded it's
expenditures the fact that protective duties
were destructive of revenue, although clear
ly apparent to ali who observed the prac-
tical operation of the system, did not at
tract that attention of the public generally,
but the situation has been materially
changed since 1892, and hereafter it will not
be possible to sacrifice revenue to protection
without seriously embarrassing the fiscal
affairs of the government by depriving it
of an income sufficient to defray it's neces-
sary expenditures. II the usual appropria-
ton of this income is hereafter to be de-
rived from taxes on imported goods, the
protective theory must be abandoned as the
and a well considered and consistent rev
enue system must be substituted in its
place, and in my opinion, this can be done
without material injury to any trade or In
dustry now existing in this country. The

MARTIN IS EXCITED.
Not Allowed at Present to Put in a De.
tense in the Case Against the Mutual
Automatic Telephone Co.

Philadelphia. Aug. 12.-There was an
interesting scene this afternoon before
the senatorial investigating committee
which is making an inquiry into the
municipal affairs of Philadelphia. The
committee met in special session at the
request of eX-National Republican Com
mitteeman David Martin who with
State Senator Charles A. Porter. was
recently charged by witnesses with aid
ing i'm the alleged fraudulent passage by
city councils of an ordinance for the
Mutual Automatic Telephone company,
and who asked that he be allowed to re-
fute the testimony 1t was charged
that Messrs. Martin and Porter were
each given blocks of 1926 shares of the
company's stock.
Mr.. Martin appeared with his Coun-
sci, but the committee refused to per-
init him to present a defense through
an attorney. Then Mr. Martin arose
and heatcily declared that he con-
sidered the action of the committee
an outrage upon him. He declined
to take the stand unless allowed 10

ranks of day laborer to the leading
and most influential and substantial
citizen in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

tive interest in politics ne has never

over in the adjoining district-Iu-
zerne-the Republicans have very
strong and popular candidate in the per-
son of Hon. Morgan h. Williams. The
Democratic factions in that county are
at loggerheads over the nominee and
whichever wing wins the other is likely
to be Indifferent to the result. and the
Republican will be elected easily.
Schuylkill county-the Thirteenth-is
very mercurial district. 1t is Just as
liable to go one way as another. 1t
would be no great surprise If it re-elect-
ed Mr.. Brumm or defeated him. 1t is
one of the districts in which political
prophets do not often prophesy cor
rectly.
The Seventeenth district is naturally
Democratic. but If the Republicans re-
nominate Congressman kuIp and the
Democrats do not use extremely good
Judgment in selecting a candidate the
betting ought to be i'm favor of the Re
publican nominee. Mr.. Kulp is very
popular and as a campaigner he has
few equals, He likes good fight.
The Nineteenth is another usually
Democratic district, but that party is
all split up over local issues and can
didates, and with candidate as popu-
lar with the people as Mr.. Stable, the
present representative, the Republi-
cans have more than a fighting chance
of winning.

runs on platform of his own construc-

making his campaign on that issue. He
says he Is going to be elected, and his
opponent will have to hustle early and
late to beat him.

Democrats, was elected by weak op-

the part of Democrats
After going over the state carefully
and allowing the Democrats everything
within reason it is hardly lair to the Re-
publicans to concede to the opposition
more than half a dozen Democratic rep
resentatives in the next congress from
Pennsylvania. The chances are they
will have less than that number.
