THE SUMMER MAN.

My son, consider now the summer
man.
He that hath trousers which seem
even as though they had been fash
Toned for the elephant.
For great is the fullness thereof.
and likewise great is the emptiness
of the fullness:
They flap about his knees, and at
his ankles they roll up even as a
scroll:
And his coat, it hath buttons up the
sides thereof. even unto his armpits,
And the waist is pinched in upon
him. and the tails of his coat stick
out even as a shelf;
Yea, and he weareth socks that
make louder sound than the glass
crash in "Lohengrin; and his necktie
and his handkerchief, do they not
match for huee
And his hat, hath it not a band oil
many colors, like unto the festive bar
Der polee
And he buyeth soda water and talk
eth in a loud voice of golf, and eke
OF automobiling;
And the mosquito biteth him not
| for il is afraid.
My son, when men speak unto thes
| against the summer woman and tel
thee that the peekaboo and tn,
/ squintahoo hosiery is wrong.
Listen not unto them, but tell then
| to be on their way and to beat it AMI
| to skiddoodle.
For the summer man taketh tn,
badge.
Yet is he glad, for some one hatl
told him that he looketh like unto al
actor who acteth in the slapsticl
melodrama-
And his heart is large within him
And he studieth the thermomete
and the mirror.

Ten-cent Department Store Scene OF
Serious Accident When Alarm
of Fire crazes Crowd
with Fear

DETROIT, July 3.-Six women were
injured severely today when cry of
"F'ire!" caused panic in Kresges' 10
cent store, at Woodward avenue ana
State street while the place was 1ammed
with people. One child is dying and
nearly twenty women and children are
suffering from severe injuries
The store held its opening today, ana
the five-story building was packed with
people, principally women and children.
1t is estimated 800 women were busy
searching for bargains on the second
floor when the panic started.
Two women are said to have reached
simultaneously for marked-down and
to have begun scuffling over 1t. This
caused little excitement in their i'm
mediate neighborhood and attracted the
attention of those near by. The on
lockers pressed about them, and sud-
denly the cry "Fire!" was heard.
1t turned the hundreds of shoppers
into a maddened, fighting mob, intent
only on reaching the stairway at the
rear of the building. They surged down
the aisles and packed themselves into
such a solid mass on the stairs that the
guardrails gave way, precipitating
many of the struggling women to the
floor below. In moment the stairway,
the floor below and the second floor
above were one mass of screP ming wo-
men and children. Clothes were torn,
hats were dragged off, and those who
were unfortunate enough to lose their
footing were trampled on.
Employees of the store, assisted by
policemen. finally convinced the mob
that the building was not on fire and
succeeded in calming them Ambu-
lances were summoned and the injured
were taken to hospitals.

OKLAH0MA'S CONVENTIONS
OVERRULED
Legislature Passes Local Law Re-
straInIng Corporations, but Court
Finds Measure Unconsti-
tutionai

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July 3.-Judge r.
E. Campbell in the federal court here
today held the Oklahoma statute pro-
hibiting the shipping of oil and gas out
of the state is in violation of the fed
eral constitution and of the interstate
commerce act.
This is regarded as a final victory for
the foreign pipe line companies, who
were restrained by state officials from
selling the natural products in other
states.
Today's holding was in the case of
the Kansas Natural Gas company and
other oil and natural gas companies of
Ohio and West Virginia against the
state officials, asking that they be per-
petually enjoined from interfering with
the companies piping oil and gas out
of the state.
Judge Campbell today overruled the
demurrers of the defendants. He an
nounced that reasonable further time
would be granted the defendants to file
other pleadings before final action was
taken to make the temporary injunc-
ton permanent.

FORTY-SECOND ATTEMPT AT
SUICIDE FAILS
Mrs. Kate Powers Tries Repeatedly to
Destroy Herself, but Each Time
Is Saved by Hospital
Staff

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-That
Kate Powers was not born to die by
her own hand is the conviction Of the
Emergency hospital staff, who treated
the woman last night after the forty
second attempt she had made on her
life in the past three years
The record established by Mrs. Pow
ers is declared to be without equal.
Her favorite method of attempting TO
end her life is by chloroform, which
she has tried thirty-five times; four
times she has waded into the ocean,
only to be washed to the shore sound
as ever, and thrice she has tried to
hang herself with equally poor re-
suits.
The forty second attempt was as
futile as the others and 1t is believed
she will abandon the chloroform
method as inefficacious.

is claimed. In the meantime Deputy
Sheriff w. C. Carson was summoned
and, gathering a posse about hlm'
commanded Earheart to surrender.

after the fleeing man, who returned
the fire. After taking refuge under
a warehouse, Earheart fired at his
pursuers, hitting several.
An old man named w. III. Escue'
who was sleeping on the ground near
the depot, was aroused by the shoot
ing and got up. Some members OF

fired at him, inficting injuries from
which he may die.
Bad Man Surrenders
When Earheart's ammunition was ex-
hausted he surrendered and was taken
to Heppner for safe keeping. Earheart
evidently had been drinking.

conspiracy was on foot to murder him
and that he had armed himself and
fired at his pursuers in self-defense.
He was released from the penitentiary
a few months ago, having served
sentence for attempted murder.
