AUTO KILLS
BOY IN GERMAN VILLAGE

Dresden, Aug. 27-A. G. Bartlett OF
Chicago, owner of the famous Bartlett
ranch in northeastern New Mexico,
accompanied by his wife and daughter
was automobiling from Karlsbad to
Dresden last Saturday when the car
ran over and killed boy eight years
old, in the village of Schmiedeberg,
thirty miles from here. 1t seems that
the boy ran suddenly in front of the
machine from behind a railroad car.
The villagers made a hostile demon
stration against the Bartlett party,
who took refuge in nearby hotel.
From Schmiedeberg Mr.. Bartlett tele-
phoned to Consul General Gaffney at
Dresden, who went down to Schmiede-
berg. They found the village authorit-
les and police in session taking testi-
mony They decided at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning that the chauffeur, a man
named Cummings, was blameless. Mr..
Bartlett said Immediately that he
would indemnity the family OF the
boy. The Saxon authorities we're ex.

stances.

GUARANTY OF DEPOSITS
INDUCES RECKLESS BANKING

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 27.-"It puts
a premium on reckless banking and
is an inducement to reckless bank
ing"
Thus did Judge Taft yesterday in
response to a direct question, stated
what was, in his opinion, the vital oh,
lection to the proposed plan to guaran.
tee deposits in national banks.
"That is the fundamental objection"
he said. Relieved OF the responsible.
ity to and the fear Of his depositors,
the tendency would be to induce ex-
ploitation, manipulation and the use
of assets Of banks in a speculative
way. It would promote special specu.
lation at the expense Of his fellow
bankers and that ultimately means at
the expense of the depositors. Any
proposition as to the amount Of the
tax that should be assessed, as based
on the present rate OF loss is on an
erroneops basis, as the danger of loss
OF deposits Is increased vastly by the
proposed system, 80 that the percent
age Of the tax would have to be vast

REVERSES SAFETY
APPLIANCE DECISIONS
Appellate Court Abrogates "Reason-
able Care" Rule-RaiIroads Must
Obey Law to Very Letter.

st. Louis Aug. 27.-Two sweeping
opinions, noteworthy in that the de-
cisions of the lower courts were re-
versed in full in each instance. have
just been handed down by the United
States court of appeals here, sustain
ing the position Of the government
against the railroads in the matter
of safety appliance law Of Congress.
The cases decided were those OF the
government against the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe railroad and the
government against the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad company. BY
these decisions the court of appeals
abrogates the common law rules Of
reasonable care" that have heretofore
governed and behind which the rail
roads have sought shelter and upholds
in full the acts of Congress, which the
opinions hold, now totally supplant
the common-law rules.
In the two cases decided different
grounds of defense were tried, that
the railroads might contest against
the safety appliance acts from every
possible point The Denver and Rio
Grande case was pursued before the
lower court on demurrers, while the
Santa Fe case was tried by a jury.
The railroads won both decisions In
the lower courts.
The syllabus In the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe case lays down the
new rule Of law under the acts Of Con-
gress as follows:
"The safety appliance law OF Con-
gress imposes upon a railway com
pany in the situations In which It Is
applicable an absolute duty to main
tain the prescribed coupling appliances
in operative condition and is not salts.

J. Bryan and party arrived here from

for Topeka, Kansas at 11:4O O'Clock

the Guaranty of Bank Deposits In
view of the Republican state conven-
tion Of Kansas endorsing the guaranty
of bank deposits, Bryan said it would
be necessary for him to make some
additions to his speech at Topeka to.
night Without outlining his additional
remarks on the subject, Bryan said
The action OF the Republican state
convention of Kansas is rebuke to
the Republican candidate for President
who has been assailing the guaranty
of bank deposits. Not only is he oppos.
ed to the system as national system,
but the United States attorney general
has made ruling which prevents ma.
tional banks from taking advantage
OF the state system. am very glad to
have this issue drawn so clearly. The
action Of the Republican state conven.
ton Of Kansas makes it impossible for
the Republicans OF that state to op.
pose our plan, while the action of Mr..
Taft and Attorney General Bonaparte
shuts of all hope Of favorable action
by the Republican party. Those who
favor the guaranty of bank deposits
therefore will find their only hope in
a Democratic victory"

WATER RAPIDLY RECED|NG
Three Persons Drowned and
Property Loss Will Exceed
Half a Million.

ALldnld ia, Aug. G.-AuBuSJd W
day is rapidly recovering from the
disastrous food of yesterday. The
water in the streets has fallen until
this afternoon the sidewalks are prac.
tically clear and there is no danger
Of further loss of property. At noon
dispatches from Augusta said that the
water was falling at the rate of an
inch an hour and by six o'clock this
evening the streets will be clean.
Flood Worst in City's History.
Augusta, Ca, via Harrisonville, Aug.
27.-Augusta was yesterday visited by
one of the worst floods in it's history.
Water from the Savannah river and
canal surged through the city until
depths of from six to eight feet were
reached in that section bounded by
Fifteenth street on the west to the
extreme eastern boundary of the city.
So far as known only three persons
were drowned.
The weather Bureau issued food
warnings Tuesday, saying that the
river would reach 35 to 81 feet by
Wednesday night. This was exceeded
by several feet, the river reaching be.
tween 40 and 50 feet, the danger line
being 33 feet.
Great Suffering Among Poor.
The Weather Bureau warning, how
ever, enabled those living in the low.
lands to escape before the flood rea1 III
ed them. There is great deal of suf-
fering among the poorer classes OF
whites and negroes who lived nearest
the lowlands and in many cases they
lost everything Thousands of people
were taken from their homes In boats
and wagons Itsis reported that boat
and carriage owners charged exorbi-
tant prices to rescue these people.
Telegraph Offices Flooded.
The Western Union telegraph Office
was flooded and the operators moved
to the Chamber of Commerce building
where the wires were intact This
morning the operators reported that
the water had fallen 4 1-2 inches dur
ing the night. At the Postal Telegraph
company the operators remained on
duty until the water reached the top
of their tables. They were finally
forced to abandon their Office but later
reestablished communication over a
few wires.
It is not possible at this time to
give statement as to the loss caused
by the food, but It is thought 1t will
go well above the half million dollar
mark.
