Germ ans and Italians Clash.

Innspruck, Austria, July SO.-A
race war between Germans and Italians
has broken out and threatens serious
trouble. American tourists, fearing
there may be an outbreak of armed
hostiites between the rival camps, are
leaving in haste for other points.
Trouble started when Italians made an
attack on a German at an outing Of
gynastic clubs. After this the Germans
rallied their forces and attacked several
Italians shops, wrecking them and beat
ing the owners. Ill-feeling between the
races has been growing for some time
and there ia grave fear that the outbreak
may lead to a clash with arms.

DEATH OF MAJ. HUNTINGTON

DEATH VI MAJ. IL ONllNOlON'
A dispatch from Versailles says the
death of the aged American soldier
and an attempt at self-destruction on
the part of his son Henry, who shot
his sisters and brothers on Sunday in the
last hours of his dying lather, impaired
additional sadness yesterday to the shock
ing tragedy in the home OF Major Henry
A. Huntington, which has caused SEN
sation in the American colony and dip
lOmatic circles Of France.
Major Huntington died yesterday even
ing shortly after the news was given out
of his son Henry's unsuccessful attempt
at suicide, but the father was spared the
anguish of knowledge both of this incl
dent and the terrible crime which shat
tered his household, as he was uucon-
sciOus TO the end.
The Frustrated wife, his daughter
Edith and his son Douglass, whose slight
wounds permitted them to pay the last
honors to the dying man, were present
in the chamber when the end came.
According to the police, Henry at
tempted suicide in his cell with silk
handkerchief, which he tied round his
neck and fastened TO the bars, seeking to
strsngle himself slowly by means of a
tourniquet. The jsiler, who had been
instructed 10 watch the prisoner closely,
detected the act in time to prevent seri-
GUS results, and it was announced that
Henry had not succeeded in injuriDg
himself

New York, July 90.-POlicemsn Com
missioner Bingham's suggestion for a
national secret service in connection
with the police of all cities has aroused
police officials throughout the country.
Letters received by General Bingham
Indicate his plan is favored in many
cities. Following is the text of tele-
gram sent to many police chiefs today.
'New York is experienced unparalleled
outbreak of crime, many of which are
sssassinations by members Of foreign
secret societies, blackmailing plots aud
criminal assaults on women and little
girls, chiefly by foreigners. Commissioner
Bingham suggests organizing secret ser

London, July 3O.-To the south pole
by automobile. This is the plan Of
Lieutenant f. H. Shackleton, the ex'
plorer, who started today for the south
10 another effort to reach the pole.
Most important of all the articles in
ShackeltOn's outfit is the specially pre-
pared automobile. 1t is to take the place
of the old fashioned sledges which other
explorers were compelled to rely on.
ShackeIton's automobile is fitted out to
travel over ice and he is confident be
can drive the car to the very pole.
Shackelton's chief difficulty will be to
traverse the ice mountains which must
be surmounted it order to reach the sum-
NIT of the ice plateau.

RATE NOT EXCESSIVE.

In an opinion handed down yesterday
by Commissioner Clements the Interstate
Commerce Commission decided that the
present rate of Al cents per hundred
pounds on cotton goods by sea and rail
from Augusta, Ca, to New York, is not
unreasonable.
The case was that of the Warren Man
ufacturing Company, of Augusta, and
others, against the Southern Railway
Company and others.
The commission held that the alb
sorption OF q competing line Of railway
by another, in alleged violation of the
statutes Of a State, is a matter within
the control of the State courts, and can
be considered by the commission only in
its ultimate results of inducing unreason-
able rates.
Further, the commission holds that
'Ihe violation of the so-called antitrust
act by unwarrsnted agreements in re-
straint of trade by carriers of interstate
commerce is not within the jurisdiction
of the commission, but only the correc-
ton OF unreasonable rates which may be
the purpose and effect Of such illegal act.
The long continued carriage of any arti-
Gle of freight at certain rates, while es-
tablishing presumption that such rates
are reasonable and remunerative, is not
alone conductive, but to carry such pre-
sumption must show a settled practice of
policy. Where rate is comparatively
the lowest in its territory on given
article of freight and by reason thereof
has been made the basis of reductions
from competitive point', it will not be
further reduced on the ground alone that
it had at stated periods in the past been
somewhat lower, unless il be shown that
it is unreasonably high"

MEMBERS of the very jury in Boise,
Idaho, which acquitted Haywood OF COM
pllcity in the brutal murder OF former
Governor Steuuenberg say they were
satisfied that he was gully o: that diabol-
ical crime, but that it had not been salts
faclorily proven; henceit was simply the
old Scotch one of not proven. This being
the case, Mr.. w. j. Brysn's statement
of his approval of the verdict had better
been left unuttered, while the telegram
OF the anarchists, Emma Goldman, Alex
ander Berkman and Hippolyte Havel,
to President Roosevelt on the subject Of
Haywood's alquittsl was an insult to the
country. Then, too, the psraders in
honor Of Haywood and the talk of NOM
mating him for the presidency bOde no
good for the country, but rather portend
tu,bllent times. Surely these are evil

The PAPERS Of late have contained
MANY accounts of the ill-treatment OF

followed by brutal murders. These re-
v3lting crimes are not always committed
by negroes, but most of the perpetrators
of late are white men-degenerstes OF
the lowest type. The multiplication Of
fuch cases is naturally causing alarm,
and the blood of those having been
murdered is crying aloud for vengeance.

In connection with the above

try. and assassinations are becoming
alarmingly common, men being ruth
lessly murdered for no other reason than
the fact that from their own labors they
are in easy circumstances and refuse to
give money to adventures and plotters
against governments. The boosted CIV
iIizstion of this country is now being de-
rided by newspapers of other countries,
especially in England, and that these
criticisms are in the main just must be

FORAKER,s PROTEST.

A dispatch from Cincinnati says that
Senator Joseph Benson Foraker last
night, on the eve of the meeting OF tho
State central committee at Columbus
today, came out with strong open let
ter.
This communication is the Senator'S
protest 10 the committee and the party
against the proposed Endorsement BY the
committee of Secretary Tafps candidacy
for the presidency.
Senator Foraker's protes', which is in
the form of letter TO O. B. Mccoy, OF
Coshocton, Ohio, a member of the State
committee, throws down the gauntlet to
Secretary Taft to make bis bid for the
support of the State in his candidacy on
the sole issue of tariff revision. 1t is the
tariff and not railroads and husts, says
the Senator, over which there is differ
ence of sentiment in the party.
The letter is also interpreted as de-
NAL OF the assumption that Secretary
Taft is the only candidate the people Of
Ohio have for the presidency, Senator
Foraker saying that the reason he has
not announced himself for the support OF
the people of bis State is because of his
feeling that it is more dignifisd to wait
until the party invites a man to become
its leader for such an honor.
Senator Foraker's letter to Commit
teeman Mccoy has created much interest
among republican, and the action OF the
committee at its meeting in Columbus
today is being eagerly awaited.

the Haywood verdict still runs high, and it is
upon Judge Woods shoulders that the re-

Haywood guilty, but that the State had not
proven it under the courts instructions, keeps

openly denounce Haywood. One juryman
declared that the entire body though Hay
