FELL DOWN ELEVATOR SHAFT

Patrons and passersby at the wholesale
grocery store of John Behen, Jr., & Co.,
in Dover, Monday were Mortified to see
Mrs. James Clark, well-known woman,
20 years old, step in the store and walk
down the open elevator shaft. Not no.
ticing that the elevator had just gone
up, Mrs. Clark, in her haste to transact
some business with Mr.. Behen, was
pitching down the dark descent before
anybody could reach her. As she fell
she grasped the top of barrel of meal,
which toppled and fell in on top of her.
The shaft, from that landing, was only
ten feet deep, but when help reached
Mrs. Clark she was apparently dead.
DIR. P. S. Downes revived her and found
that her internal injuries were probably
fatal. Her collar bone was broken, the
lungs were crushed, three ribs were dis
located and the ankle fractured.
The store company deny all blame of
negligence in that the shaft is not located
near enough to the door or to the main
channel of trade to be death-trap

AFTER THE REEDIEs

The reed bird season opened Tuesday
and while the marshes along the river
front resounded with the report of fire
arms the number of gunners in quest
of game was smaller than was expected.
Those out found plenty of shooting, and
it was poor marksman who returned
empty handed.
The decrease in gunners on the open
ing day was due to the fact that the birds
are not yet fat and will not improve in
condition for several days as the reeds
upon which they subsist have not fully
ripened.

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, August oath 1908.

WASHINGTON, August oath 1908.
A. part OF the general scheme to bring
- discredit upon President Rooseyelt's
administration, two newspapers have.
within the past week, given great prom
inence to articles sadly at variance with
the facts but likely to be very generally
circulated and believed. The first of
these appears in an ostensibly Republican
paper, but one dominated by Wall Street
interests and pledged to defeat the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Roosevelt at the next con-
vention if that be possible. These
stories, which bear every semblance of
truth, are to the effect that the President
has inaugurated systematic investiga-
ton OF the relations between union
labor and the emplopes of all the execu
tive departments of the Government
with view to discrediting organized
labor.

The irresponsible character of the alle-
cations is still further shown by the fact
that the alleged, charges made to the
President consisted merely of petition,
reciting the urgean necessity of the de-
sired public Improvements, together with
the fact that necessary funds were in the
hands of the Secretary of the Interior and
urging the President to expedite the
matter in SO far as he might find it prac-
ticable. No charge of fraud was con-
tanned in the petition which the Presi-
dent promptly forwarded to Secretary
Hitchcock without recommendation or
request for further information.
Middletown transcript., 1903-08-29

When seen by our correspondent Sec
retary Hitchcock stated emphatically
that the funds referred to had all been
placed in the United States sub-treasury
at st. Louis. The delay in constructing
the desired and needed improvements
was explained by the fact that in practi-
cally every instance honesty and good
judgment necessitated the rejection of
the bids accepted by the local authorities
and, in order that creditable and per-
manent public Improvements might be
had, the Secretary sent to the scene ex-
perts of the Geological Survey who are
new engaged in making surveys and pre-
pairing specifications, such being evidently
needed to prevent the erection of extern
sive water works in locations where no
adequate water supply is obtainable, and
similar serions blunders.

No authentic news has been received
from Bogota regarding the Panama canal

Senate. The Administration is still hope
ful, however, that the Senate will recon-
slider its action as it has been known to
do under similar circumstances ON sew.
eral previous occasions.
Middletown transcript., 1903-08-29

These stories are, however, entirely
without foundation as the President has
not, nor does he intend to order such an
investigation. The meager facts on
which the allegation is based have been
related in these letters before. After the
William Miller case in the Government
Printing Office was brought to the special
attention of the President he wrote to
Secretary Cortelyou letter pointing out
that there was no legal warrant for dis
elimination between union and nom
union labor in the executive depart
ments and cited the decision of the An
| thracite Coal Strike Commission as a
principle to be adopted. A copy of this
letter Mr.. Roosevelt caused to be sent to
the head of each department for his per-
sonal guidance, should similar question
arise. In the course of the discussion of
the Miller incident, representations were
made to the President that the cost of
printing and binding in the Government
Office was excessive and it was alleged
that this was due to the rules of the
unions limiting the daily output of each
OF their members. Mr.. Roosevelt then
lntructed that an investigation of the
Office be instituted and that investigation
has been quietly and thoroughly con-
Quoted by committee specially ap-
pointed for the purpose. This commit
tee, in the course of its inquiry, asked of
various members of the Cabinet, their
experiences with union labor, the re-
quest for information being purely incl
dental to the investigation they were con-
Quoting, and On this fimsy protest is
based the allegation. The whole ami
mus in the series of Washington dispat-
ches printed by the paper referred to was
shown recently when side by side with
the last of them was printed dispatch
from Chicago saying that the stationary
engineers union had pleeged themselves
to defeat Mr. Roosevelt, in the conven-
ton if possible, but if not at the polls.
The hope of the publication printing
these dispatches is that the Republican
politicians may be lead to believe that
the President has incurred the emnity of
the laber organizations and that his NOM
ination would mean defeat for the party.
Another story, appearing in the
Washington dispatches of a Democratic
paper of prominence, is to the effect that
Sec. Hitchcock has been charged with
corruption by the Mayor of Lawton, Ok
lahoma, and that the President is about
to begin an investigation OF his Secretary
of the Interior. The alleged corruption
has been described in detail but may be
as follows. 1t is stated that
Secretary Hitchcock, after receiving
sum of several hundred thousand dollars
from the sale of lots and improvements
in the towns of Lawton, Anadarke and
Hobart, caused the same to be deposited
in banks and trust companies in st.
Louis, the directors and stockholders of
which were friends of the Secretary, and
that the Secretary had delayed the con-
'truction of public improvements in those
towns, the cost of which it was intended
hat these funds should defray, in order
hat his friends might profit by the in
crest.
