that beginning with January End
the "hugless" dance will be taught
in the public schools of that city.
The 100000 pupils of the Windy
City, it is said, will balance for

of the mazurka, glide gracefully
into waltzes and two steps, and
dash over the floor in the old
fashioned galop, but no youthful
arm will 5e allowed to belt the

The Labor Problem in the South
Serious One


Addressing the Southern Club
of Philadelphia Friday evening,
Governor Hayward, of South Car
Gina, submitted ONE striking and
very forceful remarks upon the la
Dor question In the Southern
States, Says the Lynchburg News.
"The South has outgrown it's la
Dor possibilities" said the Cover
nor; "It has, by it's wonderful de-
velopment, ortgrown its labor cup.
ply, and unless something is done
it has itself barred the door of op-
pcrtunity to those who are ready
with their brains and their capital
to help continue our progress.
"Our fields were left more and
more each year to be cultivated by
the negro laborer, this labor belug
incapable of adapting itself to
manufacturing pursuits. Nor is
this al, for an experience Of forty
years has demonstrated that the
negro labor on the farm Is not as
effective as it should te-that the
negro has failed to meet the re-
sponsibilities in a field whore he
had little or no competition, and
the South cannot depend upon
him solely as an agricultural
laborer.
"The means proposed to satisfy
the demand for labor in the South
will in the same time afford US
what consider the only practical
settlement of the race question,
namely, large white majority in
every Southern State"

Little Steve's Trall.

Pioneer residents of Arizona will be interested in the following from the Clifthn Copper Era, as it con cerns one of Arizona's early day characters, even though it gives no recent news of his whereabouts. George H. Stevens, better known as Little Steve" one of the old time characters of this county, who left here about twenty years ago, but was afterwards connected with the penitentiary at Yuma, was heard from few years ago at Vic toria. Little Steve was the first sheriff of this county and was quite a character in his way, and still has many friends in Arizona. After leaving Arizona he went to Brazil, then Argentine, Chile and Peru, and from there to Victoria, where he was running a large saloon and gambling house.

OHIO ICE DEALERS
STILL AT LIBETTY
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. S.-Judge Bah
cock in common pleas court today
handed down his decision in the ice
cases sustaining Judge Kincaid in every
particular and exonerating him of hav-
ing made any promise or any sugges-
tion of leniency as claimed by the at
torneys for the ice trust.
Were it not for the fact that the ice
mems attorneys succeeded in getting
into the circuit court on error the de-
PENDANTS would at once have to go to
the workhouse.
Technically their cases are yet pend
ing in the upper court, although Judge
Babcock's decision removes the case
entirely from the circuit court. The
court, however. is adjourned until the
middle of September, and sentences are
suspended until the court meets and
decides it has nothing further to do
with the cases.
Should the attorneys for the ice men
appeal from Judge Babcock to the cir
cult court, which they are likely to do.
that court will either send the cases
back for rehearing in common pleas
court, or by declaring there is no error,
cut off the last hope of the ice men to
escape imprisonment.

the position he occupied.
Fine bridges span the arroyos that

the work of the dead city engineer.
Tunnels abound in the hilly sections of
the city and in a few months work on
a fifty-1ve-foot tunnel through Hill
street. the widest tunnel in the world.
will begin. These are all from the
practical. scientific brain of tht city en-
gineer. His handiwork is seen in the
plans already mapped out for the
Owens river conduit
All these things will ever be remem-
bered and through them the name of
Harry r. Stafford will be indelibly
stamped in the minds of all Los An
geles citizens. But there is one work
that will forever be his monument and
his alone. This is the great outfall
sewer. one of the most gigantic tasks
ever attempted and one that few muni-
cipal engineers would ever have
dreamed of carrying to a successful
completion. Harry Stafford lived long
enough TO see most of the work COM
pleted and TO be convinced that the still

p, Rev. Joseph Toner, pastor of ST.
Lawrence's Roman Catholic church
of Pittsburg, returned yesterday on the
Majestic. He had a denunciation of
American society and Pittsburg So
ciety in particular to deliver. Speak
ing of a recently enacted tragedy in
this city, Father Toner said:
'This is another evidence Of the
moral decline of the rich of this coun-
try. So-called fashionable society is
so rotten now that it reminds one of
the days of ancient Rome and Greece.
And that Is Just what we are coming
to. We are on the decline morally, and
unless some great power makes itself
felt in the near future, this country
will be as Rome was at the time OF

He fully agreed with the views OF
Cardinal Gibbons and said that, al
though his home is in Pittsburg, he
must pronounce the so-called upper
society of the city morally rotten.''
.'This debauchery and immortality
exist almost entirely" he continued,
'among the millionaires-men who
have come up from almost nothing.
These men are really not Pittsburgers,
although they are casting a blight upon
the name of the city. Just as soon as
they gain their wealth they go to New
York, London and Paris to spend it in
pleasure and debauchery.

HAMBURG STRUCK
BY CLOUDBURST
By Associa ted Press.


READING, Pa, Aug. 3.-A terrible
cloudburst struck Hamburg, this coun-
ty, late today.
A ten-foot flood swept through the
main portion of the town, leaving in
its wake ruin and devastation.
There are washouts in the streets to
the depth of twelve feet. Allan J. Ro-
mig, who was working in a tinsmith's
shop, was drowned The shop was
swept away. More than fifty dwellings
were damaged.
Many persons escaped drowning by
rushing to the upper floors of their
residences. The total loss will amount
to more than $50000
The great rush of water through the
town was caused by the collapse of the
dam at the Union -four mills.
There were many thrilling rescues
and narrow escapes. One of the most
notable was that of the family of Prof.
Wallace, a blind organist. When the
flood came all the members of the
family sought refuge on the second
floor. The water rose almost to the
second story and neighbors with boats
went to their rescue
The blind man was lifted out of the
window by means of a rope made of
bedding, and the children were tossed
from the upper windows and caught by
the men.

FIRE AT MILAN DESTROYS ART
EXHIBITS
Many Buildings Of the international
Exposition Burn to the Ground,
While Others Are Badly
Damaged

BY Associated Press.
MILAN, Italy, Aug. 3.-Fire which
broke out here this morning in the In
ternationa1 exposition did extensive
damage. The sections devoted to the
decorative arts of Italy and Hungary
were destroyed, as also was the pa
vilon in which were installed the ex-
hibts of italian and Bulgarian archi-
tecturt.
The fire was discovered at o'clock
this morning in the Hungarian section
and spread rapidly to the arts sections
situated in an adjoining park. For a
time the British, Swiss, Japanese and
Netherlands sections were threatened,
but by energetic work the firemen
succeeded in saving them. The jew
elry and fine arts sections were also
threatened, but large force of carbi-
neers carried the pictures. many of
them of almost priceless value, from
the Gallery of Fine Arts into the corr
ridors of sections beyond the fire zone.
Loss Estimated at $2,4oo,ooo
At noon the fire was considered to be
under control.
Some of the estimates place the loss
as high as $2,4OO,OOO which possibly is
excessive. The origin of the fire is
attributed to an electric short circuit.
The authorities are of the opinion
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
The scene of the confiagration was
the center of the most active portion
of the exposition. The Palace of Dec
orative Arts is mass of ruins. The
Architectural pavilion, which was also
destroyed, contained many exhibits of
historic value, including the original
model of the dome of the Cathedral of
Milan, many original documents refer
ring to Milan's famous scientist, Volta,
relating to voltaic electricity, and nu-
merous documents referring to Ma
poleon I.
Although the Fine Arts pavilion was
saved, many fine paintings were dam
aged, being splashed by mud and
water while the firerlen were hastily
carrying them to places of safety.
owing to the value Of some of the
exhibits destroyed the loss is now
estimated at $2,O0O,OOO to SO. 100000
The committee has decided imme-
diately to rebuild the burned edifices
and has called on the exhibitors for
their cooperation. No American ex-
hibits were injured by the fire.
