Another OkIahomn Tornado.

Guthrie, Okla. - A special to
the State Capital from Tittzewah, Ok,
states that the town was practically
demolished by a tornado Wednesday
night. Nearly every building in the
place was torn from its foundations
and in most instances carried a con.
siderable distance. None of the citi-
zens was seriously hurt. Many re-
markable escapes were experienced.
That some were not killed outright Ia
due to the fact that the whole town
took refuge in cyclone caves. There
was a heavy loss of live stock. Crops
were ruined.

DEAD In ENGLISH WRECK.
Twenty-Thrce Passengers, Mostly
Americans, Killed in n Railroad
Accident mt Salisbury.


Salisbury, England. ~ Driving at
a mad pace over the London South
western railway, the American line
express carrying folty-thres Of the
steamer New York's passengers from
Plymouth to London, plunged from the
track just after passing the station
here at 1:57 o'clock Sunday morning
and mangled to death in its wreckage
twenty-three passengers who sailed
from New York, June %, and four Of
the trainmen. Besides those to whom
death came speedily q dozen persons
were injured, some Of them seriously.
Nearly all Of the passengers on the
train were Americans who were en-
route to various points in Europe by
way of London.
The train was just entering the rail-
way yard at Salisbury, when the pas
sengers noted that the coaches began
swaying from side to side. Suddenly
at the end of the long platform, when
the track begins to curve toward the
bridge spanning Fisherton street, the
main avenue OF the city, the engine
seemed fairly to leap from the track.
1t swung across the adjoining track
with terrific force and destroyed the
guards van Of q milk train that was
slowly steaming in the opposite d.
rection, killing a guard. Lurching for
ward the locomotive plunged against
the standards and the girders Of the
bridge. The bridge withstood the i'm
pact, and rebounding the engine crash
ed into another engine which was
standing on a siding and overturned.
The wreckage of the two engines inter-
locked in great broken mass Of twist
ed steel and iron. Throughout the
wild plunging of the engine, Driver
Robins, whether alive or dead, re-
NAMED in his cab. Hours afterward
his charred body was found drilled
over the flrebox.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW
COMES HANDY.

The power of congress over inter-
state commerce has recently been
quietly invoked to overcome the in
justice of the laws of Pennsylvania in
the matter of injuries to employees on
railroads. In Pennsylvania the state
courts have pushed the fellow serv-
ant" doctrine to such an extreme than
employee of a railroad could not pos
sibly obtain verdict against a rail-
road company for any sort of a mang-
ling of his person providing he was
acting under the instructions of an
other empioye of the road. Over in
the state of Ohio the doctrine of "vice
principal" which makes the superior
employee, as say the conductor, stand
for the road has prevailed and hence it
has been possible to recover damages
in that state on the trunk line which
has its origin in Pennsylvania, where
as the same state of facts would not
eStaDllSn cause OF action in the home
state.
For years the organized railroad men
have been demanding in vain a show
in the courts. They have never re-
ceived it from the judges who, before
they went upon the bench, were rail-
road lawyers The bill which has
been passed by congress has been before
It for years and owes its passage
now to the feeling stirred up in the
present session Of congress by the
discussions Of the railroad question.
Heretofore it had never been gotten

The bill makes provision for the pro-

moving of interstate commerce upon
the railroads. 1t does away with the

have to serve in securing mayor

to hold up the city for 100000 or more
as condition of allowing the city to
make any use of its new water system.
The milling company has not
brought out a candidate for mayor and
contributed four or five thousand dol
lars to the support of the daily dodger
merely from a sense of civic duty in
securing good municipal government

HOW ABOUT CANNON?

Recent developments in the house
Of representatives indicate that the
'1oveableness" of the speaker is just
like the loveableness of the rest of us,
way.
The speaker has recently been
questions which compelled him to fish
or cut bait and he has been as mad as
a hornet several times.
There is now probably no question
that Cannon was elected speaker be-
cause his standpattism was a known
quantity. He could be depended upon
not to yield to clamor. This raises
the question, do the members of the
house elect the speaker, or do they
ratify the selection of a speaker who
Mr. Cannon had been a member of the
house for many years before he was
the succession very late, and he came
then apparently because of his popular
ity with the rank and file. He had
that popularity, there is no gainsaying
it. Zut was it the cause of his cleo
ton? That is another question. 1t
will be recalled that his predecessor,
Henderson, was chosen by a wave of
enthusiasm for a western man. which
went over the country when Reed re-
tired. Now, Henderson had not been
in the chair long before he was out of
harmony with a large segment Of the
ma jOrity. There was a rapidly rising
tariff revision sentiment in the house
and the speaker suppressed it just as
Cannon is now suppressing it. At the
close of his term Henderson saw that
he would soon be in the position which
confronts Cannon today-he must eth
er yield to the demand for revision
Or fail those who made him speaker.
He compromised by declining renomi-
nation and retired from public life.
Speaker Cannon, with scarcely more
diplomacy that Henderson, has put
himself squarely in the way of tariff
revision. He has held the advisers at
bay rather easily because the session
has been one of such extraordinary
rush that tariff legislation probably
could not have been considered in any
event. But Mr.. Cannon has thrust
himself with startlingly frank obtuse-
ness also across the path Of progress
in the beef business. The house has
had a taste of his quality as a car
in this matter and in the statehood
mess. Does it want another when tar
iff revision comes up?
1t is all very we'll to honor the vet
eran, but there are some other gray
headed men in this country who have
grown poorer and gray waiting for the
reduction of the tariff on trust con-
trolled articles of consumption. The
question is, are these men to be con-
sidered or is Cannon alone to be in
the limelight.
