vention several thousand young men

Berlin, July 14.-Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg has been appointed chancel-
lor of the empire in succession to
Prince Won Ruelow.
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg in his
political principles. is a mild Con-
servative, but he is most particular in
the application to himself of the ira
ditional policy that the servants of
the crown must be nonpartisan. The
new chancellor's speeches on social
questions since he has been minister
of the interior have been liberal in
tone. This was particularly marked
in an address in which he condemned
certain aspects of morality in Berlin
and defended warmly the German
workmen's need for proper recreation.
Or. Won Bethmann-Hollweg has de
voted himself to improving the condi
tion of the artisan class Since he
became minister of the interior DR..
Won Bethmann-Hollweg has distin-
guished himself by preparing an i'm
perial insurance law and a law con-

of which passed the reichstag.

Lake Steamer John B. CoWle
Sunk In a Collision.
DISASTER OCCURS IN A FOG
Vessel Goes to Bottom Three
Minutes After Crash.

sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July 13.-
Three minutes after the steel steam
er Isaac NJ. Scott and John 3. Cowle
collided in Lake Superior about mile
and a half off Whitefish Point light
house, the Cowle went to the bottom
in fifty fathoms of water carrying
with her fourteen members of her
crew. Tie Scott, although badly
damaged about the bows, put back to
this port, where she arrived with part
of the crew of the CoWle.
A heavy fog was responsible for
the collision. The Scott, a new boat
on her maiden trip to the Head of
the Lakes, had just passed the light
at Whitefsh Point, and Strengthened
out her course up the lake when sud-
denly the John B. Cowle loomed up
through the fog, broadside on to the
Scott and only few feet away. The
Cewle was down bound with 5000
tons of iron ore.
The ships were so close that it was
Impossible to avoid collision, and the
Scott crashed into the side of the
heavily laden Cowle. For fifteen feet
the bow of the Scott penetrated the
side of the Cowle. Tons of water
rushed into the great opening and in
three minutes the Cowle had settled
to the bottom of the lake.
Immediately after the collision
line was thrown from the deck of the
Scott to the forward deck of the
CoWle, and three members of the
crew escaped to the deck of the up
bound boat by this means. The rest
of the crew who were saved jumped
from the sinking steamer into the
lake, some without life prsservers,
and were picked up by the Scott and
the steamer Goodyear, which was
short distance astern of the Scott
when the collision occurred.

Adrich and Payne to Fight Out
Tariff Disputes.
CALLED TO The WHITE HOUSE
Chief Executive Has Conference
With Leaders.

Washington, July 15.-The big dis
putes over the tariff bill will be
fought out between Senator Aldrich
and Representative Payne, acting for
the senate and house, respectively,
with President Taft serving as UNI
pire so as to prevent any drawn bat
ties. This was decided by the con-
ference committees appointed by the
two branches Of congress.
No final action was had in confer
ence, giving to the two leaders espe-
cial jurisdiction to make up the tariff
bill, but after an informal discussion
1t was said that such schedules as
lumber, coal, hides, oil, iron ore and
similar raw materials could best be
adjusted by the two leaders, who
know the tempers of their respective
Houses concerning these disputes. OF
course, any decisions reached by
Hessrs. Aldricn and Payne will be re-
viewed by the full conference.
The first real struggle over the
schedules to come up in the confer
ence will be over cotton goods. The
next fight will be on the silk schedule.
Summoned to White House.
Reports that there was dissatisfac-
tion in the tariff conference with the
corporation tax amendment, and that
1t might be dropped out of the bill,
reached the ears of President Taft.
In consequence of these rumors Sena-
tor Aldrich and Representative Payne,
the leaders of the senate and house
in matters connected with tariff leg
islation, were called to the White
House.
When Messrs. Aldrich and Payne
left for their homes they would not
discuss what had transpired beyond
admitting that the proposition to tax
net earnings Of corporations had been
the chief subject of consideration.
The president could not be seen, and
therefore it was impossible to pro-
cure from him any of the details Of
the conference.
The president undoubtedly made it
clear that he has not changed his
mind about the advisability of taxing
the earnings of corporations for the
purpose of producing additional reve-
nues. f~

CLOUDBURST CAUSES FLOOD
Ore Dead and Many Narrow Escapes
at Sioux City, la.

Sioux City, Ia., July 10.-One man
was drowned, 1000 people were
driven from their homes and many
thousands of dollars worth of damage
was done by flood in Perry creek,
small stream which separates the
East and West Sides of Sioux City.
The food was the worst in the city's
history.
There were many narrow escapes,
but only one life was reported lost.
A cloudburst north of Sioux City is
believed to have been the cause.

an employe of the Bevins Van COM

WRITES TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Bryan Suggests Vote on Popular EIec-
tion of Senators.

Lincoln, Neb., July 13.-William
Jennings Bryan has addressed a let
ter to President Taft asking the pres
ident to allow the people to vote on
popular election of senators. Mr..
Bryan says:
"President Taft-Now that the
states are going to vote on the rati-
fcation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax why not
give them chance to vote on an
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by popular
vote? In your speech of acceptance
you said that you were personally in
clined to favor such change in the
Constitution. Would this not be an
opportune time to present the subject
to congress? Two constitutional
amendments, one authorizing an in
come tax and the other providing for
the popular election Of senators,
would make your administration
memorable and pledge you whatever
assistance can render in securing
the ratification of these amendments"

EVELYN THAW ON STAND
Called by State to Testify at
Husbands Hearing.

White Plains. n. Y, July 14.-Eve-
lyn Nesbit Tshaw, as pretty as ever,
petulent and scheol-girlish, and
dressed in the familiar blue which
she affected so much during the trial
of her husband, Harry K. Thaw, for
the murder of Stanford White, was
on the stand for more than an hour
before Justice Mills in the supreme
court here, subpeenaed by the state
in it's fight to keep Thaw in the asy-
lum for the criminal insane at Mat
teaWan.
Upon the ultimate outcome of Eve
lyn ThaW's testimony, the states
fight largely rests. Mr.. Clarke tried
hard to get her to admit that ThaW
had threatened her life when she
visited him on one occasion after his
commitment to Matteawan. But
turning appealingly to the court, she
repeatedly refused to answer his
questions, and after a clash between
counsel, Justice Mills ruled that he
would hold the conversation in which
the threat was supposed to have been
made a confidential one between the
husband and wife, and therefore
privileged until the state presented
proof to show that Daniel O'Reilly,
the New York lawyer, who was pres
ent at the time, was not then acting
as counsel for both Mr.. and Mrs.
Thaw. This Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Clarke promised to do, and Mrs.
Thaw was excused after identifying
a number of papers in her husbands
handwriting.
