KILLED By A STREET CAR.
Fatal Accident to a Two Year Old

THREATEN TO STRIKE-OTHER
BENWOoD NOTES.
Hazel, the young daughter of Wylie
Watkins, of Benwood, was accident
ally killed yesterday afternoon at 1920
o'clock by car No. 81 of the Wheeling
Street Railway Company. The acct
dent occurred opposite the lower end
of the Riverside will. The car was in
charge of Conductor George D. Hart
man and Motorman John Scanlon. 1t
was going down and had just begun to
slacken up preparatory to going down
the grade at Shad's crossing, and had
almost posed by when the Watkins
child ran out in the road towards the
car and attempted to grab hold Of the
foot-board. The child fell down and
its clothes catching under the rear
wheel, was pulled under the wheel and
in an instant its life was crushed out.
The child's body was not cut in two,
as published in an evening paper, but
was caught under the wheel and against
a projecting rod, and in this position
was terribly crushed and mangled
across the stomach and head. The
statement also that the child had run
in front of the car and the fender had
failed to work was also untrue, as the
car had gotten partly by when the
child attempted to take hold of the
foot-board at the right side of the car.
No blame is attached to either the
motorman or conductor, as they were
unable to see or prevent the accident.
The affair occurred in front of the
home of the child's parents. The faith
er works at the Riverside mill and lives
in one of the company houses along the
road. The child was less than two
years of age A coroner's inquest was
held last night nv Squire Riddle, and

BOUGHT FOUR TIMES OVER
Over Forty Millions Subscribed TO
War Bonds of Less Than $500

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Inquiries at the
Treasury Department elicit the information
that the total subscriptions for the bond
issue Of 5000 900, 900 aggregated $3.50 900 OOO OF
this amount there have been received and
absolutely accepted subscriptions for
amounts of $500 and less, $40, 900 900.
Subscriptions in amounts of over $500 SUBJ
ject to future allotment, $3.50, 900 900. A pro-
posal for a round lot at a premium of per
cent, 500, 900 900.
Two syndicate propositions for any part or
all of the bonds offered 5000 900 900 each $780,
900 900. These syndicate offers and this offer
for bonds at premium are not in the regu-
lar form although they came from entirely
responsible sources and no allotment will
be made in either case. 1t is expected that
heavy subscriptions will increase in number
with the beginning of the new month. Saw
ings bank deposits will probably be realized
to a considerable amount as the six months
interest period is July !. and Withdrawals
now can be made by the depositors without

THE DREAD TYPHOID
Surgeons at Camp Alger at War With
Their Chief

WASHINGTON, July 1.-General Gar
rettson, commanding the Second Brigade,
First Division, at Camp Alger today sent
for the Colonies of the regiments which
make up that brigade for the purpose of
holding a conference. 1t has transpired
that General Garrettson expects one regi-
ment and half of another regiment to
leave either today or tomorrow and that
he has chosen the Eighth Ohio and half Of
the Sixth Illinois. The other six companies
Of the Sixth Illinois and the Sixth Massa-
chusetts are to break camp not later than
Monday, according to this story.
The fear of typhoid still prevails in the
camp and Majors Park and Devine, act
ing surgeons, have been investigating con-
ditions tending to produce this malady.
One of these surgeons said yesterday that
zone good camel could put the whole camp
on its back" The water supply is looked
upon as the principal source of danger.
The wells are sunk to depth of 65 or 70
feet. but 1t is said to be possible for the
germs of typhoid to reach that depth, ow-
ing to the sandy nature of the soil. One
of the surgeons making the investigation
says that after their report is made if
Chief Surgeon Girard persists in holding
that the water is pure they will forward
their report to the War Department. Gen.
Goblin has promised to see that this is done
in case that Colonel Girard maintains his
position. A special commission has been
appointed to investigate conditions In the
quarters of the New York Cavalry which
now has five men at Fort Meyer suffering
from typhoid. Complaint is made that the
government has supplied no lime or other
dsinfectants.

ment and repudlates Butler and his COM

NEUTRALITY LAWS
The House Of Commons Discusses the
Suez Matter

LONDON, July LIN the house Of COM
mons today Michael Davitt asked whether
article of the Suez canal convention stip-
ulated the warships of beligerents should
only remain twenty-four hours at Port
Said; whether the Spanish ships had been
there since Sunday, and whether Egypt or
Great Britain was responsible for this long
stay.
The parliamentary secretary for the for
eign office, Mr.. Curzon, in reply, said the
provisions of the convention had never been
brought into operation, and the question
was one primarily for the Egyptian govern
ment, adding: There seems to be good
reason for the course adopted in the pres
ent case"
what are the reasons?" asked Mr. Da-
witt.
IT am notin the councils of the Egyptian
government" said Mr.. Curzon, in reply.
Later Mr.. Curzon made a further state
ment to the effect that there are four Brit
ish and five German warships at Manila.
He added that the British commander-in-
chief at Hongkong was satisfied that. the
British forse was sufficient for the protec-
ton of the interests of Great Britain, and
II this was not the case, the commander-in-
chief at Hongkong was in position to
augment the naval forces at Manila.

DIXON DEFEATED
BEN JORDAN OF ENGLAND OUT
POINTS HIM
The Colored Champion Fought Gamely
and Sporting Men Say It Should
Have Been a Draw

NEW YORK, July ben Jordan of
England, after fighting twenty-five hard
rounds with George Dixon. the colored
champion, was awarded the honors by
Referee Charley White tonight a: the
Lenox Athletic club. Both men fought
well and there was little to choose between
them. If any thing Dixon seemed to have
somewhat the better of the entire bout and
was decidedly stronger and more effective
than when he met Eddie Santry of Chicago
few weeks ago IN the same ring. Jordan
had a shade the better of his opponent in
regard to height and reach, and 1t was said
that he weighed 126 pounds, while Dixon
turned thescaes at 1171a pounds.
Dixon did the leading. but unlike many of
those who had previously met the little
colored fighter, Jordan went to him and
mixed it all the time. Jordan used his elbow
several times at close quarters, but the
referee contented himself with cautioning
the Britisher. Once or twice Jordan hit
Dixon rather low on the body, but Dixon
made no protest Many of those who
watched the work of both thought draw
would have been a very satisfactory de-
cson.
The first six rounds were full of ginger
both men landing frequently. but doing lit
tile damage. In the seventh Dixon swung
left on face and right to the head sending
Jordan down on his hands and knees to the
floor Dixon walked away to. give Jordan
a chance to get up, amid wild applause. In
the ninth Jordan drew blood from the
colored boys nose.
During a rush in the tenth Dixon slipped
to the floor on his knees. and Jordan held
him down with his elbows on his neck
When Dixon came up it was seen that Jor-
dan had reopened an old cut over Dixon's
left eye.
In the succeeding rounds the fighting was
fast, and neither man scored any decided
advantage until the twerty-second round,
when Jordan sent a straight right over
the kidneys. which made Dixon vince, and
q moment later Jordan landed a staggering
blow over Dixon's heart.
In the twenty-third Dixon landed sting
ing left that drew blood from Jordan
nose. In the twenty-fourth Dixon rushed.
but the exchanges were about even.
In the final round Dixon repeatedly swung
lefts on the ribs anC hooks to the head,
and Jorda n responded regularly with left
labs in the face. Dixon seemed to have
the better of the round at the finish. The
referees decision in favor of Jordan was
greeted with cheers for Jordan and counter
cheers for Dixon. Dixon and Jordan shook
hands in friendly manner.
