BUILDING cOLLAPsEs.
steck Of Goods Falls Into Cellar {
 Decatur

OGGANWEs
 Decatur, Aug. 7.--(Special IA pe- culiar accident occurred this morning at the old store building. on the corner of Bank and Church Streets, known for many years as Talks Corner.
 The building is owned by L. Nj. Falk of Decatur. and is occupied as a gro. cery store by J. D. Thomas. During business hours this morning and with out warning about one-half of the floor of the building fell In. carrying with 1t a considerable amount of the stock of goods into the cellar.
 The building is one-story frame structure, and was built by L. M. Talk just after the Nose of the civil war. This was one of the first stores erected in Decatur after the war closed, all of the store buildings having been de- stroyed during the war. Mir. Talk opened a store in this building as soon as it was completed and conducted business here until a few years ago when he retired from business.
 The age of the old building and the heavy weight of the groceries which were in the building caused the floor to fall in.

Mack bod at Railroaa..

Chicago, Aug. 7-Norman Mack, chairman of the Democratic National Committed was notified tonight that no reduced rates will be put into ef- feet for the Bryan notification meeting at Lincoln. Neb U on Aug. i2.
 The communication came from Eben Mcleod. chairman of the Western Pas senger Association, and was in reply to a letter sent to that official by MT. Mack earlier in the day and calling at- tention to the fact that reduced fares had been granted on the occasion of the Taft celebrations in Cincinnati. where as no concessions had been made for the Democratic. eash egins The corre- spondence was interspersed by several tclephonic eonversattons between Merrs. Mack and Mcleod. the latter explaining the action of the railroads by referring to the fact that no reduced rates had been put Into effect for any events in Nebraska since the passage of the 2-cent fare law in that Statesss He also emphasized the fact that the reduced rates to Cincinnati were offered by the Central Passenger Association.
 The action of the railroads is sim ply a discrimination against the Dem ocratic party" said Mir. Mack. They state that there Is 2-cent rate law in Nebraska, which will not permit them to give a reduced rate to Lincoln. But I desire to call their attention to the fact that there Is also . 2-cent rate law in Ohio. which did not prevent the granting of a reduced rate to the Taft meeting in Cincinnati. Besides, as I understand 1t, many of the railroads which compose the Central Passenger Association are also members of the Western Passenger Association. .''

ADMITS THE CHARGES
GEORGIA CONVICT INSPECTORS
 WE'RE NOT DILIGENT.
Captain DeadsviIer TestiAes That He Has Never Gone Down Xn1O Mines and Never Ex-
 poets to Go.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. That the men who were hired by the State to inspect the condition of convicts worked in contractors camps had not been diIi- gent in the discharge of these duties and had not been thorough in inspect ing the conditions under which the men worked. was brought out by their own testimony before the legislative Investigating committee today.
 Captain Goodioe Yancey of the Pris- on Commission of Georgia: Captain c. E. Deadwilef and J. M. Bunker. the chief inspectors employed by the Pris- on Commission, were the witnesses be- fore the committee today.
 Captain Yancey told the committee that his records and the reports show ing the condition of the States con- victs in the hands of lessess had not been kept as carefully as they should have been. One of the most interest ing features of the present investlga- tion was Captain Yaneey's reference to his son, who for nine years has been the bookkeeper, and Is now the broth er-in-law of the largest individual con- vict lessee in the State. He said to the committee:
 T am proud and not ashamed of my boy. Neither my son nor the whole city of Atlanta could have swerved me from my duty. I am not a business man and never have been one, or I would not be secretary of the Commits sion. am afraid I have been there too long,"
 He said the commission depended largely upon the two inspectors to see that convicts were treated humanely.
 Captain Deadwiler, the chief inspec- tor, is 7s years of age, but Is yet ac- tive. He said he had never been down in coal mine to see the conditions un- der which the convicts were worked T am not a mine inspector" he told the committee. He said he did not know the rules forbade work by the task and required work by the hour. He admitted in reply to a question that he did not inspect the whipping re- ports and diet reports made by the dep- uty wardens. He depended upon his interviews with the men themselves giving him the information sought.
 He said he had seen ten or twelve men in the hospital at the Durham coal mines at one time. suffering from injuries caused by failing slate in the mines.
 Asked by Mir. CandIer why he had not been down in the mines to ascer- tain the cause of so many accidents he replied that he had never been in a mine and never expected to be.

DIRECT PRIMARYLAW
ILLINOIS VOTERS WILL TEST IF
 TODAY.
Every Voter Wtli Be Questioned and WiIl Be Allowed to Vote Only
 for. His Party's
 Candidate.

Chicago, Aug. 7.--The new direct prt- mary law of Illinois declared by It's friends to be the most effective instru- nent on any statute book providing for the expression of political prefer snces. will receive It's first test tomor- row.
 The Initial trial of the new law pre- cedes an election in which there are to be chosen a Governor and all other general officers of the State Legis- iature which in turn will chose a Uni- ted States Senator and twenty-five Con gressmen. The vote tomorrow Is the first actual test of the direct method of choosing candidates in a city so large as Chicago. It is admitted by politi- clans that the law will doubtless work better throughout the State and in less highly. congested centers of popula- ton than in this city. There will be four ballots placed before the voters tomorrow. These will be the Demo- cratic. the Republican, the Prohibition ist and the Socialist The Independ- ence party and the Peoples party will not take part in the primaries. Every voter as he appears at the polls, will be asked to what party he belongs and he will be allowed to vote for the candi- datee of that party only. He will be given the ticket of the party he men tions and no other.
 The men of each party receiving the largest number of votes for any posi- ton will be declared the nominee of that party for the office. There will be no conventions to ratify the selections of the primary election nor to nomi- nate candidates. The expression of the voters at the polls tom orrow will nom- mate.
 An exception to this application of the law is in the case of the United States Senatorship. The Legislature Is to name the successor bo Senator AL bert J Hopkins and the vote at to- morrow's primary for thls one ofFice will be merely of an advisory charac- ter.

 Withheld.

Wtthheh0.
 Oyster Bay, Aug. Mot bit or definite information regarding the two conferences in which President Roose- welt engaged at Sagamore Hiil today could be gained from any of those who participated.
 Secretary of War wright and Col. Hugh L.. Scott, Superintendent of West Point Military Academy talked with the President about the cases of the eight cadets recently suspended for hazing. It Is believed that the Secre- tary maintained his earlier position that clemency might be shown with that Colonel Scott held to his former and contrary opinion. The attitude of the President has already been known and he Is supposed to have sought to- day a thorough exposition of both sides of the matter. If final decision was reached it was withheld from the news paper men and will be announced prob ably Monday.
 Chairman Frank H Hitchcock discuss ed politics with the President earlier in the day but he, too, was non-com- initial when seen later. He contented himself with saying that his convers sation with the President concerned poll itcs In general.
 Notwithstanding the large number of guests which he entertained during the day the President did not fail to have his usual quota of daily exer- cises. The first arrival of the day was welcomed by Mir. Roosevelt while the damp with the precipitation that sey- erai hard sets at tennis had started.
