TWELVE LIVES
CRUSHED OUT
A Mountain of Rock Fell from the
Side of Huge Quarry at
0rmrod. Pa.
IT DROPPED ON IS WORKMEE
Twelve Were Killed and Six Injured,
Some FatalIy-Nire Men Escaped
In Safety - Mass of Rock
Weighed Thousands
of Tons.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. IA mass OF
limestone weighing thousands of tons
slid from side of the quarry of mill
A, of the Lehigh Cement Co. at Orm-
rod at noon Wednesday, just five min
utes before time to quit work.
Twenty-seven men were at work in
the quarry, which is a thousand feet
long, $50 feet across and 100 feet deep.
Heavy rains for two days had softened
the earth and caused she slide of rock.
Where the fallen mass slipped away a
smooth, nearly perpendicular wall was
left, rising sheer 100 feet above the
bottom of the quarry. while the entire
quarry floor was covered with broken,
| jagged rock.
Only nine Of the, men got away
safely, four Of whom escaped by run
ming up on a mass of rock a. he oppo-
site side of the quarry. The remaining
Is were huddled in a space ten feet
square, II of whom were killed and
six injured. Two of the latter may
| die. All of the men are Slavonians
who lived in shanties close to the
quarry.
Two men who saw the side of the
quarry culver shouted a warning to
the men. The men misinterpreted the
calls and failed to move out of the
zone Of danger until it was too late.
| With a thunderous roar the mountain
of rock fell. pinning the men fast.
All the men from the neighboring
companies as we'll as the rigging gang
set to work at once to eXtricate the
| unfortunates. They used block and
tackle, crowbars, hydraulic jacks and
! pitchforks to remove the stone, many
Of which weighed three tons. Means
were heard coming from several
places and there the rescuers directed
their efforts. They gradually uncov-
tred one man after another and at
$3.50 got out the last live man. His
head and shoulders were exposed from
the first, but his legs were pinned fast
by an enormous boulder.
Six men Were found huddled in one
place, four standing and two lying
down. Three were alive and one dice
before he could be gotten out. Five
physicians were summoned who gave
the injured first aid on the scene ana
then had them hurried to the Allen
town hospital. The lead were laid on
boards and carried TO the stock house
dark, at which time two more were
exposed to view and two others
buried deep in the pit.

Itch for Tariff-Rinnine-

We would like to have somebody tell
us just where the tariff as now ad-
justed is felt as burden in any man
ner by the American people, with the
solitary exception of the sugar tax.
Wages have never been higher, the
people never more generally employed,
money never more plentiful, interest
rates never lower, or the business of
the country at large in a more healthy
or prosperous condition. Things have
not long ago been otherwise, and it
would be mighty easy to get them that
way again. And it is funny thing
that no other state has the tariff-rip-
ping itch like Iowa has. Folks in other
states ought to know something. 1t is
probable their memories are better
than ours. 1t is probably true if
some men were not short on political
capital there would not be so much
ruction here.-Iowa State Register.

This estimate of the man with a
"grouch" from an Ohio contemporary
Just about rings the bell: THE man
who stands around on the street corner
and complains about his town the
county, taxes and the weather is
mighty common clay" He is OF lit
tie use to his family, his country or his
God. But he seems to live and thrive
in all kinds of weather and under all
conditions; he is found at the cross
roads store, the village, town and city.
Like the fly, the mosquito and the
chigger, he is not fatal but he is
mighty disagreeable."

As to Immigration.

iNdllIOL@u anu steamship COHpdlleH
alike agree that the tide of immigra-
tiou is again rising, and the record of
million people added to our popula-
tion IN 1904 by immigration is likely
TO be surpassed in the next few years.
In the six years, 19O0-1905, there have
come TO our shores 1921 900 foreign
ers, while in the next preceding decade
the number was 3,959,000. Many pub
licists view these figures with alarm
and cry for increased restrictions.
1t is noticeable that those who have
had the greatest experience with i'm
migration are not for exclusion. Since
1920 this country has absorbed more
than 26,00O,O0O immigrants, and de-
ducting those who have returned to
their own countries it can be seen that
the remainder, with their descendants,
constitute large part of what we are
always boasting Of-our great and
rapid increase of population-in fact,
an important proportion of our total
population of S3,500,OO0 to-day There
seems to be a very general impress
sion in the public mind that these
earlier immigrants, whose descendants
to-day are among our most solid and
substantial business men, political
leaders and citizens, were of some SUI
perior class. The opinion has no war
rant in fact. Under the earlier immi-
grafton laws, the bars were down, and
the immigrants came in to seek new
homes and develop the fertile lands
and rich mineral resources of the west.
Again, it is claimed that now the i'm
migrants do not go west or south to
help develop the country, but remain
In the cities. 1t is difficult To- prove
or disproye this assertion, but it can
be shown that the great growth of the
cities is in a large measure due to
the crowding of the country people to
the city, as is indicated by the con-
dition of our New England farms.
But, as matter of fact. while the i'm
migration is very large, the proportion
of immigrants per capita is much less
lndu II was ndll a century ago. II
there is a problem here it is one of
distribution, not of exclusion. Leav-
ing out of consideration such tes-
timony as might be given by pre-
sumably interested parties like the
steamship agents, it clearly has been
shown that the arriving immigrants
are not the scum" of Europe. The
immigrants who came last year de-
clared an average wealth of $25.7S per
head, or more than $2O,OOO,O0O in the
aggregate, and as they must have had
from SS5 to $95 each to pay fares to
this country from their homes, fam
lily of six must have saved up $500 be-
fore coming. Furthermore, the in
crease is not as large as assumed, be-
cause while in the four ports of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more last year there were $4,000 ar
rivals, 359000 people departed in the
steerage Moreover the laws of Eu-
rope are framed to prevent people from
leaving the European countries-not to
send them here. and the greatest i'm
migration agent is the letter sent home
by the so-called foreigner" become
good American citizen, who has made
a home and secured a competence un-
der American institutions.

TARIFF REVlSIONISTS.
They Meet in Convention at Chicago
and Adopt a New War Cry.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-"Dual tariffs" in

some years to come, instead of The
familiar call for reciprocity"
The new slogan means the passage
of maximum and minimum" tariff

Alvin H. Sanders, chairman of the
executive committee of the national
reciprocity conference which opened
its two days session at the Illinois
theatre yesterday, is credited with
originating the war cry. Mr.. Sanders
broached his suggestion to few
friends after the word reciprocity had
received some rough handling on the
floor of the convention and ii met ap-
proval among the delegates.

conference called to devise means of

tries finished its work Thursday. ar

formed a permanent organization -

The resolutions adopted advocate a
maximum and minipsum tariff as &
means of relieving the situation with
which this country is confronted and
suggest that such reciprocal conces-
sions be arranged by q permanent

Time to Dron It

The Springfield Union, in seeking
Canadian reciprocity sentiment, has
learned there is no Canadian reciproc-
ity sentiment. 1t is we'll for the Union
to find this out for itself The rest of
us have known it for some time.
/ Canada wants no treaty, and if she did
it would be one of such pronounced
advantage to her that we would not
| consider it. Isn't it about time to drop
this talk and let it be confined to Foss
and Harris and their free trade allies?
We are selling to Canada now twice
as much as we buy from her. A reci-
procity treaty would mean a reversal
of this condition. And so it would be
with any other country. In the Ian
guage of the American Free Trade
| league: Reciprocity is free trade
IArtial reciprocity is a step toward
free trade.

1t Is Likely TO be Reached by Peace
ENJOYS on tuesday, at the
Next Session.
THE IAPS HAVE YIELDED NOTHING
Pressure Is Being Exerted to Induce
Japan to Moderate Her Terms,
but the Chances for Compro-
mise Are Regarded as
Very Slim.

At midnight Assistant Secretary
Peirce was called to the Hotel Went
worth, where a message was awaiting
him from the president. He immedi-
ately wrote lengthy reply. Later he
was called to the telegraph instrument
and for half an hour carried on
conversation by telegraph with the
president, who was at the other end
of the wire at Oyster Bay.
The Associated Press has reason to
believe that the purpose of the presi-
dents conversation with Mr.. Peirce
was to arrange for one of the Russians
to go TO Oyster Bay. The president is
already in communication with the
Japanese through Baron Kaneko.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 19.-Black
pessmism reigns at Portsmouth. The
prevailing view is that the fate of the
peace conference is already sealed;
that it has ended In failure and that
all that now remains is for the pleni-
potentiaries to meet on Tuesday, to
which day they adjourned Friday af-
ternoon upon completing the seriatim
consideration of the Japanese terms,
sign the final protocol and bid each
But there is still room for hope of a
compromise. Neither President Roose-
welt nor the powers will see the
chance of peace shipwrecked without
final effort, and that pressure is be
ing eXerted especially at Toxic, to in
duce Japan to moderate her terms Is
beyond question. King Edward is un-
derstood TO be lending a helping hand
and the financiers Of the world are ex-
erting all their influence. At Toxic
and st. Petersburg the final issue will
be decided. The Japanese have been
implacable throughout the six days
sittings. They have listened and ex-
planned, but they have yielded not an
iota of their original demands.
Mr.. Witte accepted outright seven
of the IL Japanese conditions, one in
principle and four, including the main
issues, indemnity and Sakhalin he
rejected. The other two limitation of
naval power and the surrender OF in
termed warships, might have been ar
ranged had there been any prospect
of agreement on the two points upon
which the divergence seemed irrec-
oncilable.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.-Al-
though very rapid progress was made
with the peace negotiations Monday,

tute the Japanese conditions OF peace
having been agreed to by Mr.. Witte
and Baron R0sen on behalf of Russia,
neither of the two articles to which
Mr.. Witte in his reply returned an alb
solute negative was reached. The
three articles" as they are officially
designated in the brief communica-

Russia henceforth agrees is outside
