KILLED BY STUDENTS AUTOS
Princeton Man and Harvard Man
Charged With Manslaughter.
Machine Filled With Shouting Col.
lege Boys and Trenton Girls
Swerves to Sidewalk.

Trenton, n. death 10 an inno-
cent bystander marked the climax OF
a morning lark here in which three
students of Princeton University and
as many young women of this city
were the principal actors.
At an early hour of the morning a
big automobile dashed down South
Broad street on the macadam, which
was wet with rain and slippery. The
few persons abroad at that hour
halted to watch the car i'll its reckless
rush. The occupants were yelling at
the top of their voices.
Charles Ball;gum, the eighteen.
year-old son of a we'll known resident
of Trenton, was hurrying homeward
along South Broad street when the
light of the on-rushing auto caught
his eye. He stopped to see the ma
chine with its occupants go by and
that act cost him his life.
Suddenly the car swerved from its
course, and, skidding over the wet
roadway, bounded upon the sidewalk.

brick wall of a residence.
His skull was crushed into a shape
less mass.
Walter Wright, another Trenton
youth, was standing near Balligum;
he saved his life only by a quick
jump. The unmanageable car grazed
him as it plunged at Ba1ligum. The

That physician, aroused by the excite
ment, hurried into the street, but the
victim was dead.
The occupants of the car, dazed
and horror stricken, made no effort
to escape, and were arrested. They
are: Corwin Nichols, twenty-three
years old, of Wilmington, Ohio, own
er and driver of the machine; Win
fred Adams, nineteen, of Roanoke,
Va, and Walter c. Horton, twenty
three years old, of Corinth, Miss.
Nichols and Adams are seniors at
Princeton, and Adams is a member of
the sophomore call. The women with
them were: Anna Dancer, Mabel
Fisher and Kate Bowling, all of this
city.
1t was an hour after the tragedy
before the dead man was identified
by papers in his pocket. The police
sent for his father. Mr.. Balligum
identified the body, then fell uncon-
scious beside it.
Prosecutor Crossley, who states as
his belief that the college men mad
been drinking, has begun an investi-
cation. TIE prisoners, released I'M

ing a charge of manslaughter.
Nichols father, Clinton Nichols,
president of the First National Bank
of Wilmington, Ohio, has come here
to remain with him until the trouble
is over Nichols is out on $1,000 bail.

No outdoor pastime that takes the
devotee away from home is so uni
versally enjoyed as fishing. 1t is an
celebrating, care-destroying sport
that is practiced practically from one
end of the earth to the other; and in
our own country hundreds of thou
sands who never indulge in any other
form of outing and exercise religious
ly set aside at least a few days in the
year for the enjoyment of this time
honored amusement.
Every section of the United States
has it's peculiar kind of fishing. In
the Gulf of Mexico the mighty tarpon
is king; in California waters the leap
ing tuna is the special quarry of the
angler; along the Atlantic coast the
bluefish tempts the skill and tries the
patience of American citizens as il
lustrious as eX-President Cleveland;
and nearly everywhere throughout
the land some species of the most
popular of all fresh water denizens,
the trout, is found, and in many sec
lions the lordly and much-prized
salmon.
Nowhere or the continent, how
ever, is there a most distinctively
fishing country" than in the State of
Maine. New England as a whole, in
deed, might we'll come under that des-
ignation, for the marvellously rich

State is admirably supplemented with

wealths of New Hampshire and YER
mont adjoining, while in New Bruins
wick, Quebec, Nova Scotia and other
portions of the great Canadian wilder
ness contiguous, the opportunities for
the angler are practically unlimited.
Even as this article is being writ
ten, a great host of fishermen (and
not a few of them are of the fair sex),
are quietly and eagerly making the
necessary preparations for the annual
descent upon the New England or
Canadian wilderness, their brains on
fire with visions of the "big fellows"
they know are waiting for the cast of
the fly OIL the trolling of the bait.
One can get ready for a fishing trip,
even to the wilds of Maine, within
a reasonably short space of time, but
there are lots of Waltonites who pre-
fer to devote weeks to those delicious
preliminaries, because it adds just so
much te the long drawn out sweetness
of the spring fishing fever"

ORDER WOOD PULP INQUIRY
House Passes Resolution For
Committee to Study Tariff.
Probe For Paper Trust - Cannon's
Measure Wins by Party Vote
Investigators Headed by Mann.

Washington, D. C.-Speaker Can.
non put through the House by a vote
of 1874 to ITO, under the crack of the
party whip, his answer to the demand
pulp in the shape of his resolution
for a general investigation of the Pa
per Trust and all the circumstances
surrounding paper prices by a special
committee of six.
This means that there will be no
revision of the tariff for the benefit of
newspaper and magazine publishers,
Such was the declared effect, if not
purpose, of the Cannon resolution,
which provides for the appointment
of a committee to investigate and re-
port whether or not there was a COM
bination to force up the price of pa
per and what effect the tariff on wood
pulp and print paper had upon the
price of the latter article and upon
the forests of the United States.
The resolution was reported from
the Committee on Rules at the first
opportunity. 1t was opposed for the
Democrats by Mr.. DeArmond, of Mis-
souri,, on the ground that it was add.
ing insult to injury, and by Mr.. Will
Jams, of Mississippi, because in his
opinion it was not intended to get at
the facts in the case, but to white
wash the effect of the tariff upon that
particular industry.
Messrs. Payne, of New York, and
Cushman, of Washington, declared
there would be no revision in the
tariff until it WIS made along all
lines, and not until the House was
in possession of all information neces-
sary to enable it to act intelligently.
The resolution was adopted, 154 to
ITO.
Speaker Cannon announced that
the following members would consti-
tute the committee: Mann, of H.
linois: Stafford, of Wisconsin; Miller,
of Kansas; Bannon, of Ohio, Repub-
licans; Sims, of Tennessee; Ryan, of
New York, Democrats.
AS set forth in the resolution the
duty of the committee is to investi-
gate land obtain all possible informa-
ton as to the reasons for the in
creased price of white paper, "to the
end that needful legislation may be
enacted"
A protest on the part of fifty big
paper manufacturers of the United
States against the proposal to remove
the tariff on print paper pulp and
pulp wood is about to be filed with
the House and the Senate. Delega-
lions representing paper manufacture
ers are arriving here to enter their
opposition to the movement.

Moosehead Lake down to the most d.
minutive of ponds, Maine could
scarcely be anything but a fishing
country of highest repute.
Its lakes and streams, naturally
prolific of the finny tribe, are kept SO
well stocked by the fish and game au-
thorities that, to all intents and pur-
poses, they are practically inexhausti-
BILE. For the thousands of trout, togue,
bass, pickerel and other game fish
that are taken from the waters OF
Maine every year by the great invad.
ing army of r~od-bearers, hundreds OF
thousands of FRY" are carefully put
into those same waters by the en-
ployes of the fish commission. This
is n reason why the fishing is al
ways good down in Maine" Bust
ness panics and waves of prosperity
may play tag up and down the spinal
column of the body polite as they
will, but the fishing goes on in the
lakes and streams of Maine with the
regularity of T%ennyson's brook, and
every resort in the State is 1.-THE best"
if the word of it's regular habitues is
to be taken at par.
The fishing fever" like the grippe.
is no %respector of persons. One of
the most ardent enthusiasts of the
sport, and a regular victim of the
spring fever" is a noted United
States Senator, who has a famous
camp at the Rangeleys. Doctors, law
yers and Indian chiefs (the latter
usually in the guise of professional
guides), captains of industry, Wall
Street bankers, merchant princes,
gentlemen of leisure, b~ookkeepers,
railroad officials, journalists and
about every other profession and call
ing represented in this strenuous
American life of ours, are found upon
this outdoor roll of honor, some of
them gliding in from the windy west
in palatial private cars, the six-pound
trout which they land, almost from
the platform of their Pullman, being
later done to a turn by a high priced
chef of ebon hue.
Outfits may be secured or COM
pleted in Boston, the great gateway
to the New England fishing, hunting
and vacation country, or in Portland
OF Bangor.
Present indications for an early
opening of the 1908 fishing season
are very promising, and inquiries at
railroad ticket agencies are reported
to be fully up to the average.
On account of the comparative abb
sence of snow and slush last winter,
the ice in the Maine lakes formed
very clear, which enables the warm
rays of the spring sun to penetrate
For this reason the guides are pre-
dieting that the ice will be out of
M~oosehead, Rangeley and the other
lakes by May 1 or earlier.
To the comfort and convenience OF
modern travel by rail-(one may
nowadays leave New York or Boston
in a parlor or sleeping car and be
transported to the edge of river or
lake in the midst of the almost pri-
meval wilderness)-has been added

Some of the perennial fishermen
have records" of catches that are
nothing less than astounding. There
is n authentic case of a gentleman
who in thirty-four years, each year
accompanied by the same guide, has
taken from the waters of the Range
ley region no less than $4,000 trout.
Many of these, of course, have been
returned to their natives element, on
account of smallness of size, but think
of sitting before ones open fire on a
stormy evening in December and re-
calling the capture of 1900 fish,
with their accompanying train of ex-
citing or romantic incidents!

of Maine is the best fishing ground,
the answer might both truthfully and
logically be, ANY old part of the

VIENNA'S LOAN.
She is Now One of Europe's Most In
debted Cities.

With a new municipal loan of
fifteen millions sterling Vienna be-
comes one of the most heavily in
debted municipalities in Europe. Not
withstanding this, the project of the
Burgomaster, DR.. Lueger, was ap-
proved by the City Council and Pro-
vincial Diet, whose consent is neces-
sary for the loan, almost without de-
bate, so that it is now necessary that
it should be put on the market as
soon as the financial situation has i'm
proved. The loan will be spread over
a term of ninety years, and interest
will be at the rate of four per cent.
By far the greater part of the sum
will be absorbed by the municipal
ownership undertakings, of which vi
emma has so large and varied a num-
Der. Electric lighting will take three
and a half millions; t:amways, two
and three-quarters; gas, a million and
4 quarter; a municipal brewery, half
A million; a cemetery, $780, 900,
chiefly for the building of an i'm
mense church; a municipal funeral
undertaking, 100000, and meat and
provision markets, slaughter houses,
st%orehouses, with, probably, munich
pal coal depots, which are now under
discussion, a million and a quarter
more. Ten millions are thus disposed
Of. The remaining five millions will
be used for completing a new aque-
duct, paving, ~scavenging, removing
old buildings and erecting new ones,
parks, gardens, a jubilee hospital, a
technical museum and miscellaneous
purposes. 1t is announced that the
Diet of Lower Austria also intends to
borrow a very considerable sum of
money, and as Vienna's proportion of
taxation in the province amounts to
eighty per cent, the citizens will have
to provide for this new impost in adj
dition to their own fifteen millions

try, or is displayed on straw-colored
blanks in the windows of railroad
ticket Offices.
And the railroads! How much they
have done not only to popularize the
sport of fishing, but to make it so
easy a pastime, that even frail women
may now journey into "the heart of
the ancient wood" and have just as
good a time, and just as good sport,
as their husbands and brothers, with
out the least bit of discomfort.
Piscatorial PiIgrimages.
OF the big delegation of amateur
fishermen that will shortly be start
ing north and east from the cities and
towns of the South and the Middle
Atlantic States, by far the larger per-
centage will go to the imperial State
of trout, salmon and "big game"
Maine. There are American fisher
men-some of them of national repu-
tation-who have annually been MAX
ing piscatorial pilgrimages to the
same fishing ground for twenty-five,
thirty and even forty years.
OF course, for those who prefer it,
there is still the primitive lean-to of
branches, the canvas tent, and the
spruce-bough bed, with the nocturnal
reunion and storytelling around the
camp fire. The woods to-day, in fact,
is all things to all men, and it is liter
ally a case of paying your money and
taking your choice.
Nowhere in this great democracy
of ours is there a more democratic
corner than the woods of Maine.
There everybody is on a footing of So
cial equality for the nonce. 1t
is a fine place not only to get attuned
to nature, but to human nature.
Modern Comforts in Wilderness.
One thing the fisherman may al
ways look forward to with certainty,
n that is comfortable accommoda-
tions, no matter how small in popula-
ton the resort he selects. In the
very heart of the wilderness modest
camps accommodating half a dozen
and palatial hotels with room for 500
Or 600 guests, and with ~orchestras,
golf links, tennis courts and other
modern accessories, stand side by
SIDE The scenic side might also be
dwelt upon, for nowhere does nature
appear in a more attractive guise than
in these New England fishing resorts.

Venison Once Cheaper Than Pork.

Time was, along in the early for
ties and the early fifties of the last
century, that from the wilds of Nor
gan and Brown Counties hunters
would bring venison to market and
sell it much lower than pork was
sold in that day, pork being pre-
ferred by the Hoosier then to the red
deer of the woods. 1t was in that
time that an entire wild turkey, full
grown, would sell at a price far BE-

quail could be bought for less money
