this town in his touring car, carrying
"a small band of firemen and fire

Every machine in the town was
Summoned, and hose and other small
apparatus bundled in. The machines
started for Kensett, 20 miles away
with Congressman Haugen setting the
pace that it was impossible for 9TH

The thought that his bank building
might be destroyed made him very
reckless, and those who made the
trip in his machine declared that they
had several narrow escapes from
turning turtle. His bank is located
at the corner of the square, and the
adjoining building was on fire wher
the party reached the town. They
fought the fire for hours, and It was
o'clock this morning when it was
under control.

THE RAILROADS
AND PUBLICITY

The railroaders have finally come
TO the conclusion that in some mat
ters it will be best TO take the
public into their confidence and al
low the people to know the real
state of affairs regarding wrecks,
their cause ana results and to de-
pend upon public opinion to arouse
itself and furnish the powerful
lever which will force greater care
and more rigid adherence to dis
cipline upon the part of employees.
In the past, it has been very
difficult matter for the newspa-
pers to get at the facts when any
disaster occurred on any line. En-
ployes were giving strict instruc-
tons ito tell nothing and they fol-
lowed instructions TO the line, un-
der penalty of being discharged
from the service of the company.
As soon as an employe discovered
he was talking TO newspaper re-

State looking to the creation, Of
a joint tariff commission similar
to the old one which sat at Berlin,
with view of reaching II mutually
satisfactory basis Of settlement of
questions in dispute. The present
French government strongly favors
a regime of reciprocal concessions
but, at the sane time it appreciates
the strength of the demand of the
French rrotectionists in favor OF
higher duties and the sentiment in
favor of reprisals on the part OF
some French exporters, because of

SURPRISED AT BOND Authorities Thought Agree ment Accorded With
 His Wishes. NO FURTHER ACTION If Contrary to Modus Viven- di British Will Deal
 With Case.
NO FURTHER ACTION

Washington, Sept 11.--Being under the impression that Sir Robert Bond had secured about everything of Im- poptance that he wished included in the modus vlvendi relative to the Newfoundland fisheries, the state de- pertinent officials here were consider ably surprised to read the bitter de- nunciation that the premier has heap ed upon the imperial government for concluding the arrangement which was absolutely necessary to prevent serious friction between two great na- tons. They were disposed to draw a parallel between the attitude of the Newfoundlanders and the Califor- nians in this matter, each, according to the view of the Washington gov ernment, showing a lack of apprecia- ton of the impropriety of attacking treaty rights by local legislation.
 The statement is made that with the single exception of asserting the right of American vessels to ship New foundlanders as fishermen, the Ameri- can government has Tor the sake Of peace surrendered all of the extreme points claimed by 1t. And this right of shipping fishermen is to be exer- cised in manner least likely to offend Newfoundland pride, for the men are to be taken aboard we'll off shore. and not within the territorial waters of the colony, although tahe Americans have always insisted that they had the right under treaty to take the men off the docks if they cared to ship there.
 The further discussion of the sub- | ject is regarded by officials here as purely academic as the modus is now a complete instrument. If the New foundland premier carries out his am nomced public intention of executing the colonial laws, even where they conflict with the American treaty Tights, 1t will be the duty of the Brit ish government to deal with the case and not the concern ofsthe state de- partment.

WILL ATTACK AMENDMENT
ACTION BY GEORGIA
Validity of Fourteenth To Be Tel sted In
 Court.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 1.-The state of Georgia will attack the validity of the fourteenth amendment to the constitu- tion of the United States in the pend ing railroad rate litigation that has been instituted in both the state and federal courts. The state will also make the point that the lifts in the suits have nothing to do with the en- forcement of the reduced passenger rates. The two issues will be raised through demurrers now being pre- pared.
 The Central of Georgia railroads suit to prevent the enforcement of the new rates is set for Sept. 16 before Judge Newman or some other United States judge and that of the Atlanta & West Point has been set for the same period in the Fulton county su- perior court.
 Although questioned by many, the validity of the fourteenth amendment has never been attacked in court.

FIVE DAYS AT MOST

New York, Sept. 11.-The giant tur- bine steamer Lusitania, which is buff feting its way across the Atlantic on it's first trip to America, has found herself" Unlike most steamers, the big liner has been shaken together on the first trip and is making the best time ever made on a westbound jour- ney across the Atlantic.
 The last report from the Lusitania, dated at noon to-day, was received from The Associated Press correspond- ent aboard the ship by way of the Cape Cod wireless station. It shows that for the twenty-four hours ending at noon the run of the ship was 51C knots, an average of 23 S-4 knots an hour, and with beautiful weather fora- casted there should be little doubt that the ship will reach Sandy Hook light ship under five days for the trip.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
THREE ARE SHOCKED
Bolt Strikes Bloomfield House During Thunder
 Storm.

Bloomfield, Sept. 11.-John H. Aster- mill was struck and killed by light ming, and his wife and her two brothers were rendered unconscious by the same bolt at their residence on the Hartford and Granby turnpike, about two, miles northeast of this place during the thunder storm which passed over this section this evening.
 Physicians worked over Mrs. Aster- mill and her brothers for some time and finally revived her and the younger brother. The other brother is still in critical condition. The two men are visitors here and their names do not seem to be known.
 Astermill came here two years ago from Brooklyn, and was moving into a new house which he had justs built. The bolt passed through the house, tore off some plaster but did not set the building on fire, and then passed on to the occupants.
 A peculiar feature connected with the incident was the singeing and burning of the shoes of the injured,

BLOUNT LONG AGO CONSIDERED GIFT English Lord Who Left $4OO, 900 to Yale Wrote
 to Treasurer Far
 nam in 1898.
COPY OF WILL
 CAME NEXT YEAR
Hadley and Stokes Ignorant of Reason for Request to American Uni
 versity.

Archibald Blount, esq, of England, whose bequest of $4OOOOO to Yale uni versity was made known yesterday, took the initiative in the matter as long ago as 1898, according to Secretary An son Phelps Stokes, jr.
 Prof F. B. Dexter was secretary of the university at that time, but though he knew about the correspondence he took no active personal part in it. Prof. Dexter said last night that the negotiations were carried on by the treasurer, William w. Farnam. Last night Mir. Farnam was not In town and could not be seen in regard to the matter.
 Early in 1899 a copy of MT. Blount's will, as it was then, was submitted to Mir. Farnam and was approved by him. Whether the amount of the coming be- quest was at that time as large as the one which materialized cannot be learned for the present.
 Later in 1899 Morris F. Tyler became treasurer of the university and from the time he entered office until Lee Me- Clung became treasurer nothing furth- CT was heard from Mir. Blount. Last year MT Blount wrote to the university authorities that he was con sidering making tho gift to Yale dur. ing his lifetime instead of by bequest After that nothing was heard from hin until the cable dispatch yesterday an nouncing the bequest of $400,Oo0 | What first interested MT. Blount ir Yale Is not known here, and will moi be known until MT. Farnam returns from the Adirondaoks, He is expected Saturday. When the bequest was made 1 known to President Hadley yesterday he expressed great surprise, and sait he had no idea who the testntor was nor how the university becomes tht beneficiary.
 Archibald Henry Blount, who died 1T London June IT last, was lord of the manor of orleton, and left an estat, worth s467,570. He beuueathed smal sums to his executors and relatives, ant all the family manuscripts and doeu. ments to his nearest klnsman, All thu other property, including estate in tht manor of Orleton, Eye, and Yarpole i Herefordshire. subject to the paymen of his funeral and testamentary ex penses !s bequeathed to Vale unlver, l sty of New Haven, Connecticut, U. s A., to be applied as may be deemed
