HOT FOR THE ELKS
ATwenty-Five Hundred Persons Pros
trated During Their Parade
in Philadelphia.
STORM BROUGHT RELIEF
After Standing for Hours in the Broil-
ing Sun Thousands Were
Soaked to the Skin
by Rain.

Philadelphia, July 19.-It is estimat-
ed that $500 persons were prostrat-
ed by the heat Thursday during the
progress of the Elks' parade. Inc
parade was one of the greatest seen
in this city in years, and it is estl-
mated that more than 100000 persons
crowded into Broad street to view the
spectacle. 1t was the hottest day OF
3 the summer and long before the pa
rade started spectators were falling by
the dozens. The sun was broiling hot
and the humidity unusually high. Ev-
cry hospital in the city was brought
into service after those nearest the
route of the parade were crowded
to the last inch.
No fatalities were reported up TO
q D. m. The physicians were so BUSY
that no names were taken. me nos
pitfalls treated more than 1000 cases
and DR.. Patterson, chief police sur
geon estimated that fully 1000 addl-
tional patients were treated by the
emergency corps of doctors along the
line of the parade.
A severe storm broke up the parade
lust as the rear Of the line passed the
official reviewing stand. Tens OF
thousands of persons were drenehed
and lightning struck in many places
but so far as known, no one was IN
.jured.
The rear of the parade line passed
the official reviewing stand at Broad
and Chestnut streets at 3:l5 p. m''
having taken about four hours to pass.
The rear portion of the procession still
had four miles to march when the
storm broke, causing the paraders ana
crowds to scatter The storm came
quicker than the people could extrl-
cate themselves from the surglng'
struggling crowd and tens of thous-
ands that stood for hours in the proll-
ing SUN in danger of sunstroke, were
soaked to the skin by rain. With the
heavy rain came a cessation or neat
prostrations.

The Tennessee Damaged.

st. Louis, July 19.-The steamboat
Tennessee, loading for her first trip
in Missouri river traffic, and the prop
erty if the Kansas City Transporta-
ton & Steamship company, was
blown against a pier of Eads bridge
Thursday afternoon by a sudden gust
of wind and damaged to the extent of
about 1000. Several members of the
crew and negro roustabouts jumped
overheard and swan to shore, others
chung to the pier and climbed to the
bridge. The steamboat was rescued
by tug which towed it to shallow
water

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would APP
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The companys payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were 21,66O,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.

COURAGE.

Three tired citizens-a lawyer, a
doctor and a newspaper man-sat in
a back room recently in the gray light
of the early dawn. On the table were
many empty bottles and a couple OF
packs of cards. AS they sat in silence
a rat scurried across the hearth into
the darkness beyond. The three men
shifted their feet and looked at each
other uneasily. After a long pause the
lawyer spoke:

witnesses on the stand Tuesday to
rebut the evidence of the defense
Three testified to conditions in the
Occur d'Alenes in 1899 and three to
the situation in Colorado during the
strike period of 1903 and 1904. Inc
important witnesses of the day were
called to contradict the showing made
by witnesses for the defense That
there was no reason for the calling
out of the militia of Colorado other
than a desire on the part of the mine
owners to drive members OF the West
ern Federation of Miners from the
mining district. One witness fatty
cuntradicted the evidence introduced
by the defense to show that the ex-
plosion at the Vindicator mine was
due to an accident.

Boise, Idaho, July 1S.-The state
of Idaho rests content with the evil
dence it has introduced to prove
that William d. Haywood the secre.
tary-treasurer of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners conspired to kill
and therefore murdered Frank
Steunenberg, a former governor of
the state, William Haywood through
his counsel will rest his case with
the jury so far as evidence is con-
cerned.
The last day of the states in
nings in the Haywood trial opened
with the statement by Mr.. Richard
son that he desired the court to or
der D. C. Scott, William Dewey and
]. C. Rutan, witnesses, who have
testified in rebutal for the state to
remain within the jurisdiction of the
court This was afterward explain
the defense was considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of issuing certain war
rants charging states witnesses with
perjury. Nothing was done during
the day, however, and late Wednes-
day night Clarence barrow said 1t
was doubtful if any such steps would
be taken.
The state called but two witnesses
in rebuttal Wednesday, notwith-
standing Mr.. Hawley's statement
that eight or ten witnesses remain
ed. At the last moment the prosecu-
ton decided not to call mine owners
or Pinkerton detectives believing
this would strengthen their case be-
fore the jury. AS a result of this
decision a number of interesting wit
nesses will not be heard. Buckley
Wells, formerly adjutant general OF
Colorado and recently elected rail-
road commissioner in that state left
Boise Tuesday.
He was in command of the militia
called out during the labor troubles
in 1903 and 1904 and was the man
who dug up the bomb fround, where
Orchard said he placed it, at Judge
Goddard's gate. Captain James Nc
Parland, the superintendent of the
Western division of the Pinkerton
detective agency who it was expect
ed would be one of the most pic
turesque witnesses, was not called.
Capt MCFARLAND has had charge OF
the case since the arrest of Orchard.
The witnesses examined Wednes-
day were from Colorado and gave
vivid accounts Of the conditions ex-
listing around the mines.
