Assoeiated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
Greensburg, Pa, May "a -Wasall
Kirora, Russian, gave his life last
night while trying to save three boys
from a death-trap at the old Strickler
mine, at Hecla.
Harry and James Skiles, English
lads, and Michael Kodak, a Slavish
boy, were playing around the coal
falls, where the mine is abandoned.
The hole, where the black damp IS
known to escape from the old work
ines, was enclosed, in accordance with
the mining laws, but the boys got
inside the fence and one was over
come The other two called for help,
but in a short time they, too, fell
senseless under the influence OF the
deadly gas Kirora, who lived near
by, saw the boys peril He plunged
down into the hole and threw one boy
over the fence. A second boy was
picked up and hurled TO the outside.
Next Kirora fell overcome by the
gas fumes. Yonko Lovilch, a fellow
countryman, went down after him
and, after throwing the remaining boy
out, dragged Kirora up the bank. The
gas was too much for Kirora, how
ever and he dropped into the arms OF
his friend and died in few minutes.
Lovilch is still in a serious condition
and may not recover.

VISITED BYA CYCLONE,
Emile Buoher's House and Outbuildinlr
BADLY Damaged.

BADLY Damaged
Albert Bucher received letter 20
dav from his father, Emile Buc her,
who resides at Mont Clair, Col,
which stated that Mr.. Bucher was not
injured in the cyclone which visited
that place last Saturday week. Much
DAMAGE was done 90 small buildings,
such as stables and chicken houses,
although nobody was killed or badly
injured.
Mr.. Bucher stated that his stable
and chicken house were blown 100
wards from where they formerly stood,
and we're completely wrecked. He also
said that the chimney was blown on
the house he lives IN, and much
plaster was knocked from the walls
and ceilings which frightened the
family, as the members Lad been
reading a great deal, about the earth
quake in California Nand thought an
earthquake had visited them.
One peculiar thing about the cyclone,
Mr.. Bucher said was that of their 6.
or 20 chickens, only one was killed
and one injured.
Mr.. Bucher and his family have
been at Mont Clair only about year.
They have prospered and before the
cyclone struck their place they had
one Of the finest in that vicinity.
Mr. Bucher is 20 years old, but has
very good health.
Mont Clair is five miles from Denver.
The family formerly lived here.

GREAT STRUGGLE ENDED.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Washington, May 24.-The delivery
Tuesday. at Norfolk, TO the government, of
the completed battleship Louisiana, of
5000 tons. built by the Newport News
Shipbuilding Co.. ended in favor of a
private corporation the great struggle
that had been going on for nearly three
and a half years to determine whether
the government could build at a navy
ward warship as quickly as it could be
constructed in q private yard.
The keel of the Louisiana was laid Feb
rlarv 7th. 1903, at Newport News, and
the keel of the Connecticut, which was to
be- built in competition, was laid at the
Brookly navy yard March 9TH of the same
wear. The Louisiana was launched
August 9th. 1904 and the Connecticut
followed her into the water a month later,
Sentember 2qth. So far the race had
been close. but soon the private workmen
forged ahead. and the result was that the
Louisiana was delivered, ready for ser
vice some months in advance Of the Con
necticut. Another point against the gov
eminent was the fact that the Louisiana
cost the Navy Department S3,992 1000
while the Connecticut has already con-
sumed al Of the total appropriation Of
s42l2. 900 and her builders have asked
Congress for $3.50 900 more.

Associated Press Dispatch By special Wires
London, Eng, May "a. Archibald
Wakley, an artist and a regular exhibit
tor at the Royal Academy, was found
murdered in his rooms, at Bayswater,
today. The front of his skull was bat
tered in, but the weapon used was not
found. There is no clue TO the perpe-
traitors of the crime. The police
theory is that the murderers entered
the premises with the object of gain
ing the basement and thence digging
an entrance into the vaults Of a bank
situated next door, when they were
intercepted by Wakley.
Another bank in London was robbed
in a similar manner last week, the

TAX RATE OF slS5
This Has Bson rracticalIy Agreed Upon
hr the FINANCE Commltlee OF Councn.


This Has Been rracticaiIy Agreed Upon
by the Finance Committee OF Council
The finance committee OF City
Council, according to Chairman
White, has practically agreed upon
a tax rate OF el.6j on the 500 for the
next fiscal year, which will be ID
cents higher than the present rate.
The total assessment, upon which 70
base the tax rate is $40, AS e3i.'
which, at Sl.50 would yieid
500, 40T.2 Miscellaneous receipts,
exclusive of taxes. are estimated aV
s24, 732. This does not include out,
standing taxes, which are estimated
at S125. 600. The back taxes have been
footed up for all years prior 20 lel9,
and amount to $50, 392,5s. The 1910
back taxes have not yet been counted
The committee has decided not 70 IN
clude the back taxes in its calcu-
lations.
The city budget fixes the expenses
for the ensuing year al cieO' iou' ~
and as the total revenue, on tax rale
Of $3.50, would be $3.50. iOL2l, there
would be a deficit of sS5, 1920.
Included in the assesslhle property
is the wall of the elevated railroad
valued al al, 800, 600, from which the
tax would be about s22, coo, and # the
court should decide that this could not
be collected. the shortage, instead OF
being a trifle over $50, 600, would be
slO7 Si2. Hence the decision to iaise
the tax rate.
Even with the higher rate, Mr..
White fears. it will be necessary e
leave some unpaid bills at the end OF
the fiscal year, OF negotiate tenn
porary loan. The current temporary
loan of $40, 0OO has been provided toi
in the estimated expenses, as that
money will be paid out of next year 8
receipts.
The tax rate will not be fixed al
tonight's meeting Of Council but II
will be settled next Thursday night,
