mittee room and continued for about
two hours, during which time there
was an informal discussion Of the
work that should be done. Senator
Aldrich, who becomes the chairman
Of the commission expressed the opin-
ion that the country would expect from
the organization very complete pre-
sentation Of the financial subject based
upon Investigations to be made not
only In the United States but also in
the financial centers of Europe, and
no dissenting voice was heard in the
entire membership Of IS representa-
tives and senators. II was the general
opinion that the commission would
continue its existence for at lneast
three or four years and the opinion
was expressed that the investigation
would prove as important for this
country as did that Of the old Bull
lion commission for Great Britain. The
discussion Sunday resulted in the aD-
pointment Of q committee Of slx to
formulate a plan Of action, and as first
appointed, the committee consisted OF
Senators Aldrich, Hale and Teller and
Representatives Vreeland, Burton and
Padgett Senator Teller subsequently
declined the offer, and Senator Bailey
was substituted in his place. The com
mittee will meet in New York about
the middle Of June and win prepare
IT, plans to be presented to q meeting
Of the full commission to be held at

Grand Trunk Railroad Alters
 it's Route and Avoids Famons Townsite

Prince Rupert, Aug. 8-There is wailing on the part of and vis- ions of ruin in the hearts of the pro- motors of the famous townsite of Ka- fen, on Kaien island for the Grand Trunk Railroad has changed It's route and will now go nine miles south of the townsite. This move on the part of the railroad renders prac tically valueless the land possessed by the promoters and by them at consider able expense converted into the foun- dation for city.
 In the wiping off the railroad map of the embryo town of Kaien others aside from the promoters will suffer q monetary loss for the promoters, by 1udicious newspaper advertising suc- ceeded in disposing of several lots. Ever since the Pacific extension of the Grand Trunk was projected spec ulators have been busily engaged in trying to sell lots in the "roal termi- nus," several of which have been on the market. Kaien Is one of these.

HARRY THAW SAYS
 HE IS BANKRUPT
Young Pittsburger Gives Assets as S128,OOO with
 $5OO,0OO Liabilities.

Pittsburg, Aug. 10-Harry Thaw, in a petition filed in court today, de- clares that he is a bankrupt and that his estate is being dissipated by un- just claims. He gives his assets as $128, 900 and his liabilities as $500 ,OOO.
 The action of the slayer of Stanford White has caused surprise here as it was believed that since his arrest and consequent long incarceration his lawyers had adjusted his financial affairs so as to place his estate in good shape. Thaw, in his petition, sets forth that he would be able to meet all obligations were not for the fact that the estate is being dissipated and that it is because of this fact that he brings proceedings in bank ruptcy.

Three Persons Killed and Seven Wounded by Birm-

LYNCHING BEE THREATENS
Indignant Citizens Search For Those Committing Outrage said
 to be IneXcusable

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 1O-Three innocent persons were killed and seven wounded yesterday afternoon by strikers who discharged volley at passenger train on tho Mineral Railroad. This act on the part of the miners has aroused the greatest in dignation and if the identity of the perpetrators can be definitely ascer- tained lynching is almost certain.
 Since the strike was called the strikers have been more or less turb- ulent and on one occasion they stormed train load of strike breakers but the act of yesterday was entirely uncalled for as the only purpose was that of revenge on the railroad for carrying strike breakers. There were no strike breakers on the train fired into nor was there anything to give the strikers the impression that there was.

TOWN COUNCIL Is FACING PROBLEMS Business Men ask Privilege of Installing Gasoline
 Lighting Plants. SALOON MEN WANT CENSUS Whether Or not Desires of Citizens Shall be Granted is Matter
 of Dispute.
SALOON MEN WANT CENSUS

Two petitions coming before the town council last night have given the members of that executive body some thing to ponder concerninp. and further moro promise to result in pretty mix-up before finally de- cided. The petitions in question are one signed by a committee of liquor dealers asking that census be taken to the effect that reduction in the license may be obtained, and the other that ordinance No. 30 be SO amended that it will permit the use of gasoline lighting plants. Both poti- tions were referred to committees and will be acted upon at meeting of the council to be held next Mon day night.
 It is the petition with regard to the gasoline lighting plants that bids fair to cause trouble, for at least one member of the council, Whitley, is opposed to it's being granted and he said so last night. Edmund Smith presented the petition, which is signed by nearly every business man up and down Mckinley street, and in the do- ing he declared his belief that ordin- ance No. 36 is invalid inasmuch as it gives the right to use gasoline for manufacturing purposes and, particu- larly provides that dentists may use 1t. Mir. Smith declared before the council that the ordinance is, in his estimation, one of discrimination and he advised granting the petition say ing that so doing "may prevent ex- pense to the town and to others" The saloonmen believe that the town has less than 1000 inhabitants and if census proves this belief cor rect the license is reduced from S1 1000 to $500 year. There are several licenses expiring within a month and it is desired to have the question settled before that time. This petition was referred to the license and revenue committee, and the one having to do with the gaso- line question to the police and fire protection committee.
 The council accepted the bid of James Mitchell for handling garbage and other refuse, the acceptance car rying with it appointment as official garbage mover. Mitchel's rates are : family privies, 75 cents month; clubs and hospitals. $1.5O month: Garbage, one barrel, 50 cents, two or more up to wagon load, 75 cents. Special rates for saloons. Just to show that they do not believe in trusts the councilmen granted the application for license made by J. c. North who Is at present in the garbage business.

START TO SQUIRM
REPUBLICANS RIAN TO DEFEAT
WILL OF PEOPLE.
SS
Revision Of Tariff, for Which the
Voters Have Declared, Is Stated
to Be Indefinitely
Postponed.

When the election of Mr.. Bryan
seemed certain, Republican grand
dukes promised the people of the west
a special s~essieR>4.ef congress to
tighten the burden they carry for the
benefit of eastern tariff barOns. The
special session was. to be held lmme-
diately after election.
Now watch them squirm.
Instead of revising the tariff right
now, as the west had been promised,
Judge Taft says The next congress
will be called in extra session by me
to carry nj the party's pledge"
Here is the first squirm. 1t squirms
over into an indefinite next summer.
Again, in his statement, Judge Taft
says: "The Republican party has
pledged itself to protect every indus
try" 5.
Here is the second squirm. 1t
squirms past any pretense of reducing
the. load which the west carries for
benefit of eastern tariff barons.
Republicans and Democrats alike
demand tariff reduction. There is no
division of opinion in the west. This
part of the country produces the flour
and the meat. Here.is the coal. Here
are the iron and the copper. Here is
where. the real wealth of the nation
is wrought from nattfe by the toll of
man, .
For years the wWoifkting west has
piled up millions for the idle east to
squander in riotous living. The time
has come when this must stop.
The west demands the removal of
class taxation that operates through
the tariff for the benefit of the east.
The west demands a fair share of
its honest earnings.
The west is tired of endowing Euro
pear nobility, and seeing the useless
sons and daughters of tariff barons
scatter American millions to amuse
parasitic titled loafers, their chosen
companions.
When Republican. grand dukes
feared the election of Bryan, they
were anxious to revise the tariff be-
tween now and next March, hoping
to content the west and still protect
their friends, the trusts.
With a Republican victory the grand
dukes have already changed their
tune. Roosevelt, the free trader of
1884, and Taft, a revisionist on his
western campaign, are become open
standpatters.
The working west will still carry on
it's tired shoulders the burden of the
idle east.

COULDN'T FOOL UNCLE REUBEN.
Darby Knew Only the One Man a.
NOTORIOUS Republican,"

Mr.. Allen, an Arkansas Planter.
who enjoys the distinction of being the
only white Republican in his section
of the state, has in his employ an
aged negro known as Uncle Reuben,
who "ft fur de union endursn' de

For some time the old man had been
endeavoring to secure a pension from
the government for this service. A
few days ago., as Mr.. Allen was riding
by a field where he was blowing,
Uncle Reuben hailed him with the
words:
"Marse, Use done got my pension.
an l wants to swar to it befoh YOU"
"Glad to hear that, Uncle Reuben,
but you must do your swearing before
