TWO MILE DROP
WITH PARACHUTE
Balloon Was Transformed into the
Shape of ToadstooI and
Landed Safely.

& CONWAY, Mass, July 2S.-Para-
chuting his balloon at the height of
over two miles by loosening the ap-
pendix cord and allowing the lower
part of the balloon to spise into the
netting, DR.. S. S. Stowell of Pitts
burg, on his first trip as pilot, made
a drop to earth in the balloon Pitts
burg. A perfect landing was affected.
With DR.. Stowell as passengers We're
John 7. Manning and Miss Blanche
Hulse, trained nurse.
When over Ashfield and Buckland
the aeronauts struck vortex which
swept the balloon rapidly upward to
a height of over two miles. With but
one bag of ballast left, DR.. Stowell con-
cejved the idea of paracauting his
balloon and allowing it to take it's
own course to earth rather than to
use the valve cord and allow gas to
escape The appendix cord was loos-
ened and the Pittsfield resolved itself
into monster toadstool and started
slowly earthward. The balloon set
tied slowly until it came to rest, with
out jolt, in a field.

President Taft Lets It be Known that
He Wishes Reduction Of
Rates on these
s ss Articles
THE TOBACCO TAX
Agreement Reached Which VIII Raise
the Tax on These and do Away
With Any Prize
Coupons.


WASHINGTON July 2S.-Unless
the tariff conferees reduce the rates
on lumber and gloves. Taft will not
sanction the report. This attitude of
the president today was made plain to
number of senators and representa-
tsves,
The President will insist that .lum.
Der be placed either at one dollar or
S1.25. 1t is maintained the high rates
on gloves is plan to help out little
coterie of glove makers in New York
state. The cohferees today agreed up
on all but two of the Beveridge
amendments to the internal revenue
laws. The tax on tobacco, cigars,
J cigarettes anad snuff will be made
higher as sug ggested by Beveridge. 1t
Is estimated that these increases
mean a million in revenue yearly. The
committee decided upon the provis-
ion prohibiting the use of coupons.
The Republicans conferers are vet
unable to fully agree. Lumber and
gloves was still disputed when the
recess was taken for lunch. This
means that it will probably be Inn
possible to present the report to the
house tomorrow.

Proposes to Stop Railroads From
Also Being In the Coal Business
and Hauling their
VI ~ Product n Il
UP TO THE STATES
Under Supreme Court Decisions
Roads Can Own Stock in Mines
and Can Also do the
Hauling.

WASHINGTON July 28.- Senator
Cummins of Iowa has prepared bill
for introduction in the senate which
will seek to remedy the Hepburn law.
The Cummins bill will be for the pur-
pose of shutting railroads effectively
out Of the business of coal mining,
directly or indirectly, by prohibiting
them from hauling coal from mines
owned by them.
Under the recent decision of the SUI
preme Court, it is possible for rail-
road to carry coal which comes from
mine owned by corporation in which
it has shares of stock. It is the pur-
pose of Senator Cummins bill to shut
this off. The Supreme court decision
allows railroad to mine coal and
transport the coal so mined, providing
it is sold to another party before the
shipment begins.
Senator Cummins says there Is no
way of preventing this and it is for
the states TO say whether railroad
companies shall be allow to mine
coal. Over this the federal govern
AS governor of Iowa, Senator Cum
Minis was responsible for great deal
of important railroad legislation, in
Guiding the anti-pass law. Now that
the tariff bill is practically out of the
way, save for the final voting, he is
looking into railroad matters with a
view to formulating bills on important
phases of them. He is convinced that
the government should take hold of
the railroad rate situation and settle
it with something like permanence by
establishing a general schedule of
rates for the whole country. He would
adopt the English system of railroad
regulation in this respect for the Unit,
ed States, making important modifica-
tions to suit conditions here.
Having a rate once fixed by the gov
ernment, it would not be increased un-
til the railroad company had made a
showing to the commission that an In
crease was necessary.
! Senator Cummins is aware this is
an advanced proposition, but he says
/ it or something like 1t has to be taken
| up before there is anything like sat
isfactory settlement Of the rate ques-
\ ton.
1t is already becoming apparent that
the proposition to divide the powers oi
the interstate commerce commission,
SO as to leave that body quasi-iudicial
powers and take from it the admins,
| trative powers, leaving the administra'
! tion to the Department Of Commerce
and Labor is going to encounter for
midable opposition In both houses d
Congress next winter. Many believe
It would weaken the law.
