New York, April 23.-Eighteen hun
dred employees in the cigar factory of
Hirschorn, Mack & Co. on Sixty-eighth
street. were thrown. into a panic to-
day by false alarm of fire, and sew
eral persons were injured in the mad
rush from supposed danger. One wo-
man, who either jumped or was
crowded from balcony, is thought to
be fatally hurt. The condition of the
others is not serious.
The cry of Fire was raised by
some person as yet unknown and for
no apparent cause soon after work
was begun.
Fifteen hundred of the employees are
women and girls, most Of them Italians
and Bohenians. The stairways and
struggling men and women and not
until the police reserves arrived did
the panic-stricken cigarmakers discOv-
er that there was no danger of any
kind.
Many women and children were
crushed and bruised during the rush
but the only one seriously injured was
the unknown italian woman who fell
from the balcony Tt is thought hel
skull was fractured.
Hardly had the alarmed workers re
turned to their places of duty when
the c1atter of a fire engine responding
to an alarm in the same neighborhood
again agitated the easily alarmed fac
tory workers. and they rushed once
more to the windows and fire escanes
Then the management decided that
the employees were in no condition to
remain at work and the factory was
shut down for the day.

Mr.. WILLIAM r. HEARST has
promptly declared that he will ac-
cept whoever is nominated and what
eyer is done at st. Louis.
How about Mr.. Bryan? Mr.. Bryan
in his speeches and paper, and Mr..
Hearst in his papers. and speech, has
been declaring for years that the
trusts and big corporations must be
hunted by Federal law and the Fed
eral troops and the Federal power.
Judge Parker, his friends and the
New York State Democrat platform
propose nothing OF the sort They
leave the trusts to the States-which
are powerless.
When this is done at st. Louis,
how are Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Hearst
going to explain to those who believe
in them, and there are such, that
nothing is going to be done? Can Mr..
Bryan afford to take this position?
Either he has been in earnest or he
has not. If he has, he must go on
and bolt. If he mas not been in earn
est, his influence will be gone.

REPUBLICAN TICKET
FOR CONGRESS
GEORGE A. PEARRE,
of Auegany County.
HON. GEORGE a. PEARRE.
of Allegany County.

Hon. George A. Pearre has again
been nominated for Congress ~ the
Republicans of the Sixth Congression-
al District. He will certainly be elect
ed because he is an able, upright and
excellent gentleman. He is a leader
in the body of national Kepresenta-
tives, and his b"illiancy and intelli-
sence sheds luster on the Sixth Con.
gress;Onal District Of Maryland. Since
he has been in Congress he has been
a representative Of all tho
nis distri~I P''P,o
.or. He has been fair and i'm
partial in the discharge of mis- duties
and no man has failed to receive a
hearing and his earnest assistance no
matter what was his political belief.
Colonel Pearre has been most CON
scientious in the discharge of his
duties 1t is often thought by many
that the duties of a Congressman are
light and that the office is a sinecure
Some Congressman can get through
a session of Congress with little or
10 effort. striking instance of a
man doing nothing is the leading can
0idate for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination, William Il. Hearst
Of New York. But members OF the
national legislative body who are
conscientious and endeaYor to dis
charge all the duties of their office
must labor long and hard. Colonel
Pearre has done this and done it at a
great. cost to himself. Today he is
confined in hospital suffering from
physical and nervous exhaustion, a
condition brought about by his close
application to duty during the recent
yerm of Congress. He worked night
and day, contrary to the advice and
orders of his physician, with the re-
suit that he is now just recovering
from a most depressing and trying
spell of illness.
Throughout the length and breadth
Of the Sixth district of Maryland Col
onel Pearre is honored and admired.
He is held in the same high esteem
by the members of the Congress, and
when he rises on the floor of the
House of Representatives to discuss a
question he commands the same at
he appears upon the hustings in his
own district The citizens of the
Sixth Maryland would have to look
far and wide for an ADLER and more
satisfactory representative than
Colonel Pearre. His reelection for
these reasons is assured aside from
the fact that this is strong RepubIi-
can district.
Distinguished looking, able and
eloquent, Colonel Pearre is the ideal
representative of the people. Fair,
broadminded and approachable, he is
the guardian of the interests of the
Sixth district of Maryland an impor-
tant factor in the national govern
ment and pillar of strength to the
grand and splendid policies of the
Republican party which have done so
much for the welfare, prosperity and
happiness of this nation.
The Morning Herald congratulates
Colonel Pearre on his denomination.
The action Of the convention reflects
the sentiment of the voters of the
Sixth district, and on November S
they viii confirm it by re-eecting him
for another term. AS long as he con
sents to stand as a tribune of the peo-
pie just that long will the people Sc
lect him for that purpose -Hagers-

IN REPLY to a request from the
state TAX commissioner, Attorney
General Bryan rendered an opinion,
in which he held that railroad com
pani6S must pay Il franchise tax on
their gross receipts from whatever
source the income may be derived.
Some of the subsidiary lines of the
Pennsy Ivania Railroad company had
objected to the payment of the tax
on the money received for carrying
the mails.
Another opinion construed chapter
1856 of the acts of 1902, which pro
vides that when securities are held
ia trust the taxes on these shall be
paid to the local authorities at the
residence of the beneficiary and not
at that of the trustee. Mr.. Bryan
opinion reads as follows:
IF both trustee and beneficiary
are residents of the state. the local
tax is to be paid to the local authori-
ties of the residence of the benetic-
larry.
IF the beneficiary is nonresident,
and the trustee is a resident, then the
tax is to be paid to the local authori-
ties at the residence of the trustee.
IF the trustee is nonresident,
the property is to be assessed as if
owned by the trustee, and the tax is
to be paid at the principal office OF
the corporation.
If both trustee and beneficiary
are non-residents, the tax is to be
paid at the office of the corporation
