President Taft uses a single barrel
ed gun and fires only once at q time,
and that at long intervals, when be
has any missiles 20 fire at Congress,
In sharp cOntradistincsion TO the
Gatling gun methods OF x-President
Roosevelt. His second message deals
exclusively with the proposed ? per
cent. tai on dividends Of corpora
tons and joint stock companies IN
lien OF the proposed income tax
measure, which has considerable
following among Democrats and Re
publicans IN Congress. There IL
really no serious objection so esther
OF these measures, except that tbein-
come tai has once been declared un-
constitutional by the Supreme court,
and shere are many considerations
which commend them both az equit-
able, fair and entirely proper means
OF raising revenue. We do deny, how
ever, that Is ought TO be necessary,
10 times OF peace and apparent pros
perity, to resort TO any extraordi-
nary means OF raising revenue. II
the tariff could be properly revised,
90 as 80 Gus down those rates which
have proved prohibitive to importa-
uon, and consequently yield no reve
nue., and a fair amount of economy
could be praeticed In the way OF
pensions and she abolition OF sinecnre
offices, the revenue OF the country
would be sufficient for all purposes,
while incidentally she heavy toll
which the consumer contributes TO
protected interests would be materi-
ally lessened. Such aconsummation,
while devoutly to be wished, can
hardly be looked for while she poll
ticians rule she roost.

The Infant Was Not Awakened BY 40
sault and Was Covered With Blood
81 Mother and Slater No Motive
Known FOR Crime.

Pottsville. Pa. June lS-One OF the
this county was committed At the
home Of Mrs. Kate Fsrenze. at Coal
dale. She and her seven-yssr-old
dughtsr were fatally stabbed. beaten
and left to die. An infant child. which
lay between them. apparently was not
awakened by the assailant. although
It's face and hands were covered with
the blood Of the mother and sister.
Mrs. Ference kept a boarding house
and had ten men living there. They
SLEPT upstairs. while she and her two
daughters slept on the FIRST floor. One
OF the ooarders was awakened by
groans- With the assistance OF another
boarded he broke In the door and
there found the mother and daughter
lying unconscious on the bed.
Both had their faces beaten into an
unrecognlxable condition. while the
mother had forty stab wounds on her
head and body The daughter had been
stabbed about q dozen times. Not a
scratch Was found on the baby.
Mrs. FerenEs and the little girl were
removed to the Miners hospital at
Fountain Springs. Neither has regain
ed consciousness. and there Il not any
hope for their recovery. Any one OF a
dozen % the forty wounds received BY
the mother are sufhcient 10 cause her
death. and her skull Is SO crushed
that the physicians marvel that she
did not die instantly. The child Is so
weak from the loss OF blood from the
twelve stab wounds she received that
her life seems TO hang upon a slender
thread
Although the state police have been
hard at work upon the case they
have not yet been able TO gather any
clue TO the brutal assailants. No mo-
tive can be found for the crime. and
all her boardsrs profess complete ig-
norance OF the tragedy up until the
time when they were awakened by the
groans OF one OF the victims.
A heavy club stained with blood was
found In the rear yard OF the house
This was evidently the weapon used
TO crush the womAn's skull. but no
trace Of the long bladed pocket knife
with which the stabbing Is supposed
TO have been done can be found.

The first announcement OF q change
in big league management came this
week when Jimmy McA1eer, manager
of the St Louis team for several sea-
sons and lander of the club in various
places from eighth to second, an
nounced that he would accept the Of
fer to lead washington in 1910. It
has been known for some time that
there would be change at Washing
ton, but 1t was not until the talk with
McAleer that there was anything def
mite.
McAleer was at one time the great
est outfielder in the national game
and played with Cleveland. Since ne
has been managing he has been known
as one of the craftiest of leaders. It
is said that few managers will make
a trade with him so rare is his judg-
ment OF players. But this season has
been a bad one at the St Louis and
McAleer was glad of the cnance to
get away.
It was understood that an effort was
made to get Fielder Jones at Wash
ington, but the hitch came because
Jones wanted controlling interest in
the club. McAleer is to be given a
block OF stock for taking the manager
ship. The fact that President Noyes
of the washington club would not lis
ten to Jones proposition brings out
just now baseball has developed in the
past few years. When Fred Postal
let go OF the team at loss 1t was
taken over by the league because no
one would invest in it. In order to
get local men interested 1t was sold
to Noyes and his associates for about
$4,000, and of this but small amount
was paid down and the balance was
cared for with notes. That year the
team made enough money to retire the
notes, and only last season 100000
for a half interest was refused. It is
understood that Jones offered $125,000
for 81 per cent OF the stock.
