WANTS THE CAkTEEN

Washington, Sept. 4-In his annual
report just received by the War De-
partment Brigadier Genera, William
S. McCaskey. commanding the south
western division, with headquarters
at Oklahoma City. urgently renews
his recommendations for the restora-
tion of the canteen feature of the
army post exchange. He says:
''It is the belief of the men that the
law is an interference with their per-
sonal rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution and that the law. if sub
mitted to the supreme court of the U.
s., would be regarded as unconsti-
tutional."
Gen. McCaskey also recommends
that fire insurance for army post ex-
changes be made obligatory.

V|ADUCT FELL

Alliance, O., Sept A most disas
trous accident occurred here at 2:3O
o'clock this afternoon when the main
section Of the viaduct which spanned
the cross-Over of the Pittsburg, Ft,
Wayne & Chicago and Cleveland &
Pittsburg railroads, collapsed A
shifting engine was doing some work
under the big bridge when a car jump
ed the track and struck one of the
iron pillars which supported the srruc.
ture. The support was knocked out
thus allowing the heavy iron work to
drop to the tracks below.
A Cleveland & Pittsburg east-bound
freight was passing under the viaduct
and the falling iron work struck the
caboose completely demolishing it,
The CabOOse was reduced to kindling
wood. Flagman c. T. Krascher of
Cleveland, was in the caboose and met
instant death. Conductor 7. J. Suit
ner, also of Cleveland, was on top of
the caboose and saved his life by
jumping. The dead fiagman was about
rs years old, single and resided with
his parents.
NARROW ESCAPES.
Mrs. A. F. Bischoff and daughter
Marie, and Miss Mary Sweeney, all
of this city, were on the north ap-
proach of the bridge and hearing the
cracking metal and timbers rushed to
a safe distance. Z. N. Sweitzer,
merchant from Marlboro, had just
driven across the yiaduct when the
crash came.
The Alliance wreck train and sew
eral others were ordered out and at
O'Clock this evening the first trains
were able to get through. 1t will re-
quire all night to completely clear the
tracks. Owing to the cutting off of
the electric wires, the Stark Electric
cars were held up for over an hour.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany's cables were broken, putting the
lines out of service.
Thousands of people quickly gath
cred to view the disaster the news
OF which soon spread. The viaduct
was built jointly by the Pennsylvania
company the Stark county commits
siOners and the city of Alliance about
10 years ago at an estimated cost of
100000. The contract provided that
the city should maintain the bridge in
repair.

Alien MortaIs.

Think for a moment OF the narrow
limits OF our knowledge! s;lxtxeen
planet of ours; of what infinitismal
more or, less. are picking up living
eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, on this pretty
planet of ours; of what infinltesimal
proportion can you really unveil the
secrets and gauge the virtues and the
happiness? How many people do you
know intimately enough to say
whether their lot is, on the whole, en-
viable or the reverse? Every human
being is foreign kingdom to every
other. We make short excursion
into their minds; we touch at port
here and there; and we say glibly
that we know them intimately. We
know not how many dark corners are
carefully hidden away from all
strangers, and what vast provinces
have never been reached In our most
daring travels. How then, can we
judge one another? Such utter ignor-
ance of our neighbor's thoughts and
motives should make us wondrous
charitable.

to a reporter expressed his views as
follows:
Gam candldate?"
Eyes, emphatically, yes, I propose
to go into every county of the district
and appeal directly to the voters,
feel that l have been mistreated. The
report has been industriously circu'
lated that have withdrawn from the
contest. 1t Is false, and has been cir
culated for purpose. You may say,
authoritatively, that am a candidate.
Congressman Kennedy has seen fit to
go before the people for vindication,
we will now see the result. In the
previous contest did not enter Stark
and Mahoning counties, but | shall do
so now"
He also stated that during the days
of the recent convention many over
lures were made to him to withdraw,
all of which were spurned today. OF
these he promises to say more later
when the campaign wakes warm.
A News representative inquired of
Chairman McCulloch whether Stark
county was going to 'lay down., with
no candidate in the field. mo, sir;
the Stark county organization will
never lay down"
Pressed for further statement he
declined to talk, but the information
is that there will be something DO
ing" from this end of the district be-
fore many days roll by, and that
candidate will be in the race from
molly Stark" before the week ends.
Both the Mahoning and Columbiana
candidates and their accompanying
leaders and advisers, after spending
the night in real live town, will re-
turn to their homes today.

FOUND
MURDERED

Springfield, O., Sept 4--With body
almost nude, and iellied face smudge
of blood, Mrs. Elmer Fillmore, pret-
ty young married woman, was found
murdered in Snyder park this after
noon. The body lay on the steep
bank hanging over and down into the
water All around were signs of a
terrific struggle. The woman's cloth
ing had been torn to strings and a
fist full of hair showed that she had
left her mark on her unknown as
sailant. The body was found by Jes-
sic Ray, boy, who was passing
through the park
Last night the victim of somebody's
brutal passion went to the park to
meet Pearl Jones, who tonight con-
fessed that he had been the woman's
lover. They were followed to their
trysting place on the bank of the
lake by the woman's husband All
parties agree as to this. Fillmore
states that he slipped and fell into the
lake whereupon Jones and the woman
pounced upon him and holding his
head under water tried to drown him.
Fillmore adds that he broke loose
and finally escaped. 1t was about 8
o'clock last night that he appeared
Jones states that Fillmore hit him
in the back with stone and then
drew a revolver, whereupon he CJones)
fed, leaving the woman behind. All
evidence collected tonight by Coroner
]. D. Thomas shows that the woman
was murdered shortly before o'clock
last night, and that her body lay by
the lake for more than II hours be-
fore it was found Both Fillmore
and Jones were arrested tonight and
are held on charge of safe keeping.

MAY BE ILLEGAL
In All Probability the Popular Vote
Plan for Nomination of a Con-
gressman Will Not Stand.

The Salem News of Tuesday has the
following relative to the congressional
committees action, which may, more
than ever, complicate the situation n
the district:
"Fraught with great importance to
the Republicans of this district is a
conference in progress this afternoon
the Eighteenth congressional commit
tee, the chairmen of the Stark, Ma.
honing and Columbiana county cen.
tral committees, and other prominent
leaders. 1t is now the concensus of
opinion among the leading legal au.
thorities of the district that if con-
test for the congressional nomination
develops, there can be no avoidance
of another convention.
THE new turn of the situation was
precipitated by Investigations made
here and in Canton last Saturday,
and was confirmed by subsequent ref
erence to the state primary laws.
From these it is clearly evident that
the nomination of a congressman by
popular vote was never contemplated,
but that those framing primary laws
expected district congressional nomi-
nations to all be made by convention
NOT RECOGNIZED BY LAW.
at develops that the district con-
gressional committee is not recognized
by the state primary law in any way.
1t has no authority to certify to the
board of deputy election supervisors
for placing on the regular election
ballot the name of any nominee. The
law specifies that this must be done
by the chairman and secretary of the
nominating convention. Hence, the
congressional committee has no stand
ing under the law, and its only func-
ton is the calling of convention.
"The law does permit, however, the
executive committee of a county to
certify for placing on the ticket the
name of successful candidate for
any Office in its respective county"

Hahn Corporal Miller then read his
own appointment to the officer of first

From corporal to top sergeant is 8

The boys were then ordered to line
up to received their pay for the last
encampment. The pay of the reduced

This policy covers the hull, ma
chinery, and boilers OF the warsbIp
for two years, but does not include the
guns, armament and equipment. All
the usual risks, including fire and
perils incidental to the launch and
trial trip, are, however, fully covered;
and 1t is stipulated that should the
vessel not be completed within the
specified time there shall be an ex-
tension at an extra premium.
The risk has been widely distribut-
ed among underwriters, but as it is
growing one, the full amount not at
taching until the vessel is ready for
sea, the rate is comparatively low.
