Washington, May 24.-Former Chief
Engineer John w. Wallace, of the 18TH
mian canal, addressed a letter to Sen
Rtor MIllard, chairman of the com
mittee on interoceanic canals, in reply
to Secretary Taft's recent testimony
before the committee, in which he
charges Secretary Taft with having
abused his official position in order to
make a second assault upon him, and
to place in a public record statements
Calculated and apparently intended
to affect my reputation for veracity,
such as he would not make to me as
one man to another, face to face"
He also imputes to Governor Ma
COON a breach of confidence in having
advised him to take a certain course
of action, and then anticipating it by
secretly writing to Secretary Taft.
While expressly stating that he bears
no ill-will toward William Nelson
Cromwell, Mr.. Wallace speaks of the
bias of Secretary Taft in favor of that

Taft was aware that Mr.. Cromwell,
among other thingk was trying to Sc

NON-UNION MINERS
ARE FIRED UPON
Eastern Ohio Coal Fields Scene
of Trouble.
MEN Hurled TO SEEK COVER
After a Night of Almost Constant Fir
ing in the Hills, the Plum Run Mine
Is Opened With Strike Breakers,
Having Been Idle Seven Weeks.

Smithfield, O., May 24.-The war in
the eastern Ohio coal fields over the
operation of the mines with nonunion
labor is on.
After night of almost constant fir
ing in the hills, the Plub Run mine
was opened Thursday for the first
time in seven weeks. The nOnunion
miners, 126 strong, marched down the
hill toward the pits under heavy
guard. They were greeted by flu
silade from the bushes. The bullets
whizzed among the trees and imbedded
themselves in some cars.
The strike breakers hurried to COW
er The union men hurried from the
settlement and gathered on the slopes
above the mine and watched develop
ments. Their women folk who were
picking up coal about the pit en-
frances, were ordered away. After
the women had gone, here and there
among the bushes sounded the crack
Of revolvers. The men behind them
were invisible.
A correspondent Of Cleveland pa
per, driving into the camp was fired
on but was unhurt.
The fact that the hollow in which
the mine is located is heavily over
grown with rubbish, saved the guards
and strike breakers from harm.
When the last nonunion man had en-
tered the mine, quiet was restored.

A Chicago doctor says that for the
last fifteen years he has used egg to
cure felon and has yet to see a case it
will not cure. The way to apply the
egg is as follows: Take a fresh egg
and crack the shell at the larger end.
Make hole just large enough to admit
the thumb or finger, whichever it may
be, and force it into the egg as far as
possible without rupturing the shell.
Wipe off the egg which runs out and
bind a handkerchief or soft cloth
around the finger or thumb, leaving
the egg on overnight This will gener-
ally cure In one application, but if not
make another application.

Chipley, Ca, May 24.-In a pistol

Hasty and Irwin over an alleged debt
of Is cents, which the former is said
to have owed the latter.
Wednesday the two men met in the
crowd at the speaking and exchanged
hot words, Persons who heard them
anticipated trouble, and reported the
matter to the city marshal, who talk
ed to the two men, and apparently
smoothed over the trouble. A few
minutes after he left, however, the
two men began shooting at each other,
the crowd falling away in an effort to
escape danger.
Hasty soon fell mortally wounded,
and expired Immediately. irwin ran
and was pursued by several men,
whose identity is not yet known. The
pursuers opened up regular fusilade
of shots, and before he had gone more
than three blookks irwin fell and died,
having been struck by number of
bullets. In all, about sixty-five shots
were fired. 1t is said that others be-
side irwin fired at Hasty while the diff
ficulty in the grove was in progress.
Two spectators in the grove were
slightly injured by bullets, which graz
ed them.
Irwin was 25 years of age, and was
married about six months ago. Hasty
was 81 years of age, and unmarried.

nounce that the basis Of reunion and
union is now in full force and effect
