BALD KNOB HELD IN TERROR
ROBBERS HOLD UP TOWN AND
TRY TO CRACK SAFE.
Dynamite Repeatedly Used in Vain
Assistance Summoned by Citi-
zens-Posse in Pursuit.

BALD KNOB. Ark. March 19.-While
some of their number rode about the
streets discharging their weapons and
holding the populace in terror. others of
a band of robbers worked for more than
an hour this morning in an unsuccessful
effort to dynamite their way into the
vault of the bank of Bald Knob, aban-
doning their task after firing nearly a
score of blasts. which demolished the out
er door of the safe, but failed to force the
inner doors. One citizen was wounded in
the parting fusillade of the band as it
rode away.
The first explosion aroused the citizens,
who as they emerged from their houses
were greeted by the bullets of the out
posts. They quickly ran to shelter. while
the robbers held undisputed sway, keeping
up an almost continuous fire and taking
chance shots at any who came within
range. In the meanwhile those at work
in the bank building continued to explode
dynamite, but with little success other
than TO partially wreck the building, as
we'll as an adjoining structure.
Before beginning operations the robbers
destroyed telephone communication out
of Bald Knob. but overlooked a railroad
telegraph wire. A message to Augusta
over this wire brought a posse of citizens
from that place, who joined several other
posses hastily formed here and imme-
diately started in pursuit of the band.

TWO DEAD IN THE RUINS
Three Others Fatally and Many
More Slightly Hurt.
SUPPORTING BEAMS GAVE WAY
Onrush of Waters Came in Early
Hours of Morning, Catching
People in Their Beds.

PARK w Va. March 10
Two persons were killed, three others
probably fatally injured and many more
slightly hurt. and ten or more houses
completely wrecked and forty more badly
damaged when the two large water tanks
supplying the city with water burst about
$40 o'clock this morning.
The dead are:
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Waggle: the bodies
were found in the ruins of their home.
The seriously injured: Mrs. John Ma
loney. both legs broken. hurt internally;
probably will die,
Mrs Kate Harms. invalid. badly bruised
and shocked; may die.
Clara Jones. colored. hurt internally
probably will die.
Houses Swept Into Streets.
The immense stream of released water
rushed down Prospect Hill, sweeping
everything before it. Houses were swept
into the street and the inmates knocked
from their beds. One whole family was
carried down street seventy-five yards,
the house being split almost into ribbons
yet all escaped except one girl, who suf-
fered a broken collarbone. The two
tanks contained the entire city supply of
water and a famine is now imminent
The damage VIII amount to about $50, 900
St. Johns Lutheran Church was almost
completely demolished but through it's
sacrifice many lives were spared and
much more damage prevented. as it was
directly in the path of the water.
Pumping Water Direct.
The city council in special session or
dered the city water supply pumped di-
rectly into the mains to stop a water fam
Inc and avoid the danger of fire.
The authorities have decided that the
bursting of the tanks was due to an acci-
dent. the supports of one of the tanks
breaking and causing 1t to fall on the
other. 1t was at first thought that the
tanks had been blown up by some mis-
creant by dynamite

Deficit
Differences Begin to Widen.

Further evidence of the differences of
opinion among parties and factions re-
garding the new bill is constantly com
ing to hand. The southern democrats are
splitting wider apart every day, appar-
emily. There is the Philippines free trade
clause, which admits Philippines rice free
i'll unlimited quantities. but limits the
amount of sugar and tobacco to be i'm
ported annually. Some of the democrats
desire Philippine tobacco and sugar to be
imported in unlimited quantities but
some of their southern colleagues insist
that the imports of rice must be limited
to protect the rice growing states Of the
south.
The sauabble of the sections over lum-
ber and hides grows more bitter each
day. The southern democrats are divid-
ed over lumber and the western repub-
lcanS just as badly split themselves
Senator Bailey of Texas will resist free
hides unless the duty is taken off shoes.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
republican, wants free lumber. His posi-
ton is utterly objectionab! bic to the repub-
lican senators from Washington They
are not in favor OF taking the duty off
Senator McCunber's wheat.

DOUBT AS TO EFFECT
Tariff Experts Suspicious of
Maximum Feature.
MAY RE HIGH PROTECTION
MAY BE HIGH PROTECTION
Revision Downward Advocates
Trying to Figure It Out.
BILL Is READ IN THE HOUSE
Senate Committee on Finance Takes
Up Preliminary Work Far
West Gets Two Members.

Great interest is manifested by members
Of Congress from all sections over the
practical effect Of the maximum and
minimum feature OF the new tariff bill.
The revslonists. especially those who
favor revision downward" are suspicious
lest this maximum feature will actually
enforce high protection rates against vast
quantities Of imports. due to the present
attitude of foreign nations toward this
country.
Upon that point the committee report
printed this morning. says:
THE present tariff interchange for
favorable trade arrangements affords no
inducement except a lower rate of duty
on argols, wines and works OF art. The
bill reported proposes reduced rate on
the bulk of our imported articles" IN
further explanation of the maximum and
minimum clause. the report says:
Section provides for the time and
method of application of the minimum
and is automatic in effect. Any nation
which gives the United States equally
favorable trade relations with those given
to any other nation is entitled to the
minimum rate; If they discriminate
against imports from the United States
they must pay the maximum rates
Courts to Ultimately Decide.
''Of course. this matter OF discrimina-
tion Will be determined In the first in
stance by the Secretary of the Treasury
in order that he may enforce its provi-
sions. Ultimately, the courts must finally
decide the question.
1T has been complained that section 3
of the present law was unjust in dis
cr1minafi0n a G Rv-;t tntp
concerned There seemed to be no way
by which they could get the minimum
rates under section ;. while they have
treated our national trade relations with
fairness and lmpartiality. Under a con-
tinuance of their present policy they are
entitled. at once, to the minimum rates
under this BILL

J.. IN EIGHT ROUNDS

Dayton, O., March 26.-Abe Attell
the feather weight champion of the
world, knocked out frankie White OF
Chicago in the eighth round of what
was to have been a .twenty-round
bout here tonight The Californian
had his antagonist groggy practically
throughout the whole mill.
Just after White went down from a
hard blow on the point of the jaw,
James J. Corbett, who has been play
ing in local theatre, was introduced.
He and Attell did little fancy sha-
dow boxing to the delight of the spec
tators. Corbett thanked the crowd
for the liberal welcome given him,
but he did not mention the challenge
he had recently made to Jack john
son to fight for the heavy weight
of the world.
