THURSDAY EVENING. JULY /. 1909

Mr. TAFT has had his ear TO the
ground for some time and has heard the
murmurs of dissatisfaction with his
party from all parts Of the country, so
Yesterday at New Haven, Conn.,, be
sounded a note of dissatisfaction with
che course of events in Congress and at
the same time gave a warning prophetic
of possible misfortune for the republican
party, 10 the course of an afternoon din
ner speech at the annual Yale alumni
dinner. The president declared that II
the party which placed him In power
and so long had controlled the govern
ment failed to live up to its promises
end the expectations of the people, 1t
would be relegsted to the position OF 8
minority opposition and there are other
republicans besides Mr.. Taft who are
of the same opinion.

A GREAT PAPER.

The Philadslphis Record, now enter
ing upon the fortieih year Of its sq1aint
anceship with the world, seems to have
won its great prestige by stubborn re.
fussl to be dragged away from the
simplest principle of journalism. Strange
as it may seem in these days of vari-
colored emansptions from the press, the
Record has never been able to disabuse
itself OF the notion that the main duty
of newspaper is to print the news.
From its famous first page, which is pat
termed after by news papers throughout
the land, to the last line of Its last page,
the Record is always chock full ofntws-
just simply news. Not content to carry
the service of the Associated Press, which
it prints more fully than snY other
Philadelphia paper, the Record is recog-
nizad by correspondents all over Pen
naylvsnis, New Jersey, Delaware and
Mary land as the best buyer Of special
ness dispatches in the safe of Penn
sylvsnia. Without irenching upon the
field of small neighborbOod newspapers,
it carries q fuller service of countryside
news than any other journal 10 the
field Add It's countryside news, IS we'll
as its dispatches from afsr, hiss the viz
the of being reliable.

Chlnaman Murdered.

New York, July 1.-The police are
trying to connect the strange murder
Of Yung Vow, Chinese laundryman,
in his laundry at l24 Stanton street,
with the Sigel case. Yung Vows body
Was found in two tubs 10 his laundry
this morning. His head was submerged
in the water of one tub, while his
feet were In another. A siIken cord,
bound tightly about his throat, showed
thst he had been strangled to death
before being placed in the tubs. That
the Ohinaman died fighting Was proven
by the blood stains about the laundry.
Bloody prints of fingers on his body
showed tia! his assassins had been
wounded, while bloody foot prints about
the floor show they had trampled in
blood. The police can hGd no clues
to the murderers, though they believe
the murder may have had something
TO do with the Sigel case, though the
dead ChiDamsn is known not to have
belonged to any of the secret societies,
bnt the police authorities have been
unable to prove thus far that he had any
Chinatown affiliations.

COMMITS SUICIDE AT
INSANE ASYLUM

r. Ross, a patient at the insane
asylum, committed suicide this morn
ing between 3 and 4 o'clock by tying
one end of a sneet to the bars COW
ering the transom of his room and
the other around his neck and pulling
his feet up, strangling himself. to
death. The night watch of the asy-
um discovered the man hanging from
the transom at 4 o'clock, but too
late to save his life.
Ross was committed to the asylum
from Multnomah county year ago
and was about as years of age. His
relatives in Portland will take charge
of the remains.
The otneials and employees of the
institution are free from all blame,
as the suicide wars a surprise to the
officials, owing to the patient being
reasonably quiet during his confine-
ment in the asylum.
