IN HIS speech al Denver on Tuesday,
the president expressed himself on the
snhiect of swollen fortunes. He declared
that he holds the same views now that
ne did 10 1907 when he delivered Q
speech on the subject De said:
Let the sts.e pass laws Of inheritance
which shall require the division OF grea'
tor,upes among the children Of The de-
scebdsnts. aud shall not permit multi
millionaire 10 leave bio fortune 10 trust,
so a. to keep it in 2 mass. Make much
more drastic the rule against perPetultles
which obtain at common Law, and then
impose a heavy and graduated inherl-
lance tax. which shall enable the state to
share largely 10 the proceeds OF such
LARGE accnmulstiOns of wealth which
could hardly have been brought about
save through its protection and aid. 10
this wsy, gradually but effectively the
concentration Of wealth IN one hand or
a few hands will be nentsllzed, and
the danger to tire republic that has been
anticipated by a confirmation through
generations of such accumulating Tor
tunes will be Obvisled.
This is Mr.. Tsits substitute for an
income tax, the iairest tax that can be
imposed, or q tax upon rich corpora
lions which can well afford to pay It.
His plan is to tax mans estate after
his death and to requires division OF the
property. Bat it ie written thai a man
can DO what be viii with hia own and
certsinly any law on this subject would
necessarily apply to the poor man IS
yell as TO the rich, otherwise it would be
class legislature which is not permissible

ANOTHER QUAKE
Shakes Stricken Region
Of Southern Italy,
Shocks Fell at Messina and
Reggie, Spreading Ruin.
Population FIees In Terror to Open
--.Extent Of Damage Unknown.

Messina, July six months after the
devastating earthquake of Dec. % which
laid waste over score of cities and
towns in Calabria and Sicily and killed
100000 people. Messna and Reggie were
this morning again visited by an earth
shock which, had they been rebuilt, would
have laid them a second time in ruins 1t
would seem that nature is determined to
blot out Messina one of the fairest cities
in the world.
While minor shocks have been frequent
in Sicily since last December, last night
|thcy became more serious. But the most
severe quakcs came at 10 and rs this
morning. They were similar to the fatal
disturbances of December. and were ac-
companed by the same roaring noises
that added to the terror of that fateful
night. The population again fled in fear
hurrying to the open places of the city
and the surrounding country, praying to
the saints that their lives he spared The
confusion of last December was repeated
and it is as yet impossible accurately
to determine the number of casualties.
Some of the reports are alarming, but
their statements of victims cannot be
verified Nor is it possible yet to believe
the more optimistic reports which tell of
few casualties. So far as Is known only
a few people were hurt, and this I'M
dCubtedy is due to the fact that the city
vas only partially rebuilt. Had the wells
of all the houses been standing the loss
of life would have been heavy. One wo-
mar was killed by falling wall, and a
child was seriously injured.
Gradually. as the confidence of the peo-
pie returned, Messis had acquired a pop
ulation of something over $4,000. But to-
day the people again are in state of ter
ror and do not feel themselves safe even
in their temporary huts and have fled to
the country preferring the shelter of
trees and caves to the threat of falling
walls They lack food and covering and
arc camping out in pitiful and desolate
groups.
Sailors, soldiers and policemen have
beer sent out through the district to pre-
vent looting and give coSHage to the
people.
Between 8 o'clock last night and 7.2O
this morning a total of eight shocks were
recorded. and the instruments at the
observatory have registered a total of
10 shocks of varying severity since 7.2O.
News received from the provinces indi-
cate that damage has been wrought there.
but it is as yet impossible correctly to
estimate the extent of the disaster.

-Four More May Die As
Result Of a Prank.
Children at Yarmouth, n. s.,

Yarmouth. N. s.. July 1.-Two little
boys are dead and four more may die

celebrating Dominion day at Shag Har-
Dor, Shclburne county. Seven or eight

a terrific roar it exploded. The head Of
one child was torn off. Another was

burned to death on the platform, before
aid arrived while four others were so
badly injured that it is feared they
NAV not recover. There Is no tele-
graphic communication to Shag Har-
Dor and the names of the victims could
not be secured.
The few meagrc details known here

train pulled into the little village, ii
was seen that the Halifax and South
western Railways combined passen-
ger station and freight shed there was

The engine was detached and run
up to the blaze and by the help OF the
fire fighting equipment carried in tn"
cars the flames were controlled. Then
investigation disclosed the horror OF
the tragedy. Laying beyond the rail
road track. the body of one of the
boys was found His head was liter

mangIed little form presented a hor-

to death
His body was scorched to crisE

New London, Ct. July In a grand
exhibition of rowing by crew remark
able for its physical power and endur-
ance, Harvard this evening defeated
Yale il their annual Varsity eight
Dared race on the Thames. The Grim
son crew led slightly from the start
and won by six boat lengths. Harvard's
time was II minutes. 80 seconds; Yale's
% minutes and 10 seconds.
BY this victory Harvard won her
second consecutive boat race from Yale
in IS years. Not since 1880 and 1881
has Harvard won two consecutive races
from the Ellis. Since 1855 Harvard has
won five Varsity races from Yale, in
Guiding today's, namely 1891, 1899. 1905
and 1905 Since Ray has been coaching
at Cambridge Yale and Harvard have
met three times and the Crimson has
won two races.
The greatest crowd that has ever as
sembled here on the Thames poured
into New London today to witness this
race Harvard's growing confidence in
her boating system brought twice the
number of enthusiasts that usually fol-
low the Crimson to the Thames, while
Yale's determination to regain her
glory on the river was backed by rec
ord breaking Yale crowd. The railroads
could not furnish through cars to ac-
commodate all the people who fought
and struggled for seats on the obser-
walton trains. 1t was estimated that at
least 10000 people witnessed the spec
tacle from trains, from every kind of
vehicle aud from one of the greatest
notillas that graces American waters.
Although Harvard won by hand
some margin, and administered q
crushing defeat to Yale, the race was

nevt rtheleSs pretty contest right up
to the last half mile All the way up
the liver the two eights rowed with al
most equal precision. But the better
work was in the Harvard boat. Rowing
all the way two strokes and sometimes
three strokes to the minute, more than
Yale, the Harvard eight crept ahead
little by little. For two and a half miles
Yale kept within q scant boat length
of her rival. Then. Harvard, with SUI
rerlative effort increased her lead first
to three then to four lengths and fin
ally to five and six lengths Yale squirt
ed with her old-time determination but
it was in vain The record of the race
as kept bv the official timers was as
follows:
Harvard 21.5O. Yale 2210.
The explanation of Yale's defeat is
not difficult. Harvard with crew that
averaged almost six pounds to the man
heavier than Yale was able to row
right through the race two strokes to
the minute faster than the Blue oars
men. But comparisons of strokes and
scientific discussion of methods of row.
ing will not wholly explain away 4ale's
defeat. Yale today had men in her
shell capable of rowing splendid
four mile race and this they did do.
The difference between the two crews
was physical and not scientific. Yale
strength was lacking, although the
Hluc crew appeared up to the average
of other years in point IF power, But
Eli had had it's limit of speed and this
limit was not equal to that of the Grim
son eight which had more than aver
age mower.
