cars. The car was stopped when with
in two feet OF the lad and the papers,
which were dropped as the child saw
his peril. were Just barely touched by
the massive wheels.
The accident was caused by a citi-
zen on the opposite side of the street
calling for a newspaper. The little
fellow, who was not more than IL
years of age. hastily tried to reach
the customer in advance OF other vend-
ers. The streets in East Chicago are
very slippery after the recent thaw
and the lads footing was very inse-
cure as he crossed the dangerous
track The motorman on the large
Gary car was as badly frightened as
was the boy himself, but retained his
self-control long enough to put on the
emergency brakes. Even after the
car had come to a full stop the lad
seemed dazed by his narrow escape,
and it was only when awakened from
his reverie by a police officer that he
picked up his slightly damaged papers
and continued his sales. The narrow
ly-averted' tragedy was witnessed by
about forty early morning passengers

they do not derange the stomach

MANY PETITIONS
ARE CIRCULATED
Fight Is Premature But Attorney
Curtiss Believes In Getting in Race
Early-Ora Wildermuth Is An
other Candidate Who Wants the
Big Plum.

No sooner had the news of the pas
sage of the Gary superior court bill
been received in the steel city than
candidates for the bench who have for
some time been considering their can
didacy came out of their offices like
ants from their nest, and began a SER
tous and earnest campaign for the pO-
sition. Among these are Harvey j.
Curtiss, whom the democrats of the
city seem to be backing almost unani-
mously.
Had Them Ali Ready.
The friends of Mr. Curtiss even went
to far as 20 have the petitions all
drawn up when the word of the pas
sage was received, and a few hours
later they were being circulated on the
streets and meeting with great sue
cess. The battle had begun in earnest
and although the fight may be prema-
ture none of the candidates are going
to lose any time waiting for the action
of the governor.
The battle began yesterday. there
being three petitions circulated on the
streets Another of the candidates is

as chairman Of the democratic county
convention in the big tent at Gary
Mr. Wildermuth also has number o.

is APPROVED BY CONFEREES
New Draft of Corporation Tax Amend
nent

Washington, July 19.-The confer
ence committee of the two houses of
congress on the tariff bill has
agreed to accept the senate's corpora
tion tax amendment, but the agree
ment was not reached until after the
provision had been redrafted by the
attorney general and many changes
had been made.
The most important of the changes
was the reduction of the tax from 2
per cent on the net earnings of cor
porations to 1 per cent. Attorney
General Wickersham appeared before
the committee and explained all the
new provisions at length, apparently
to the satisfaction of all the confer
ees, who lost little time in signifying
their acceptance of the provision after
hearing his statement concerning it.
1t appeared that much difficulty had
been found in the matter of the ex-
emption of the earnings of such cor
porations as all felt should be ex-
empted, but there was a general feel
ing that the new draft had accom-
plished as much as language could
accomplish in that direction.
The corporation tax amendment
will take the place of the house pro-
vision for an inheritance tax, which,
according to the agreement, will go
out of the bill

COnterees Still Far Apart on
the Tariff Bill
conference AT WHITE HOUSE
Situation Discussed at Dinner
/ Given by President.

Washington, July 22.-The White
House dinner and conference, at
which tariff conferees and the presi-
dents closest advisers were brought
together in the effort to settle differ
ences regarding the tariff bill, ended
with the disputes over raw materials
no nearer adjustment than they were
before the dinner invitations were is
sued.
Only one question was determined
beyond appeal and that was that the
conferees will have to settle their
own differences. Pains were taken,
however, to convey the impression
that this decision is not indicative of
any absence Of appreciation of the
presidents efforts. 1t merely con-
firms what the "Elder Statesmen" had
asserted from the first-that tariff
making is trading, and the shrewdest
dealer and the strongest section is
bound to get the best of the argu-
ment. That this truism is RESPONSE
BILE for the insurgent movements in
the mouse and senate and party re-
volts in Middle Western states does
not alter the situation.
Briefly stated, the representatives
of the house and senate practically ad-
mitted that they were unable to fore
cast the outcome. Senator Aldrich
spoke for the senate and Speaker Can
non and Representative Dwight, the
Republican whip, for the house.
Mr.. Dwight spoke of the insurgent
movement organized by the 'anti-free-
raw-material" faction in the house,
but he was not ready to estimate the
strength of this element. Represen-
tative Payne expressed the opinion
that a conference report carrying free
iron ore, coal, hides and oil could be
adopted in the house, but he said that
he had not canvassed the situation.
Senator Aldrich was very positive in
the opinion that such report would
fail in the senate, but he thought
there could be reductions made in the
senate rates, with perhaps iron ore
and oil transferred to the free list,
without endangering its adoption.

WAR MAY FOLLOW
Relations Between Argentina
and Bolivia Severed. |.
SPIRIT OF UNREST PREVAILS
Bolivlans Apparently Expect an
Appeal to Arms.

La Paz, Bolivia, July 21.-Oficial
circles now admit that a complete
rupture has occurred between Bolivia
and the Argentine Republic and that
all diplomatic relations have been sew
cred between the two countries. The
recall of the Argentine minister, Sc
nor Fonseca, who has been stationed
here throughout the disorderly events
leading up to the present crisis, was
followed Immediately and almost 81
multaneously with the recall of the
Bolivian minister stationed at Buenos
Ayres. On the departure of the Bo-
livian minister from Argentine he has
been ordered to turn over the archives
to the American, Chilean or Brazilian
legation.
The rupture of diplomatic relations
was announced after extended official
conferences, at which efforts were
made to meet the aggressive attitude
assumed by Argentina and at the
same time allay the growing popular
agitation in Bolivia. The spirit of the
people was shown in monster peti-
tions asking to be enrolled in the
army, the petitioners asserting uncon-
ditional support to the government
cause in case of an armed conflict
The feeling that hostilities may occur
is shown by the continued departure
of many Argentine and Bolivian resi-
dents.
The cause of Argentina breaking off
diplomatic relations, as stated here, is
a circular issued by President Monies
to the provincial governors of Bolivia
referring in sighting and offensive
terms to the arbitration award recent
ly handed down by the president of
Argentina in the matter of the bound
ary dispute between Bolivia and Peru
and also the Bolivian presidents or
ders to the municipal officials at La
Paz to suspend the centenary fetes
and treat the day as one of national
misfortune. Argentina considered it
incompatible with dignity to maintain
diplomatic relations with Bolivia un-
der the circumstances and ordered her
minister at La Paz to retire

ELLA GiNGLEs IS ACQUITTED
Cleared From the Charge of Stealing
Lace.

Cleared From the Charge OF stealing
Chicago, July 20.-Ella Gingles was
cleared from the charge of stealing
lace, but the story she told on the wit
ness stand of being white slave"
victim was denounced as untrue by
the jury that freed her.
The verdict in the case was ut.
ting climax to the peculiar series OF
sensations that have followed the lit.
tie lacemaker. This was the form as
read by the clerk:
'We, the jury, find the defendant
not guilty and we, the jury, further
find that the charges made against
Miss Agnes Barrette were unfounded
and are untrue"
The basis of the defense made by
the Gingles girl, who was on trial for
stealing lace from Miss Barrette, was
that Miss Barrette and others had
mistreated her in the Wellington ho-
tel last winter, and that the object
of these attacks and the animus back
of the theft charge, was the attempt
to sell her to an unnamed man in
French Lick Springs, Ind.

tack by Moorish tribesmen on the
Spanish forces Saturday afternoon
was executed under cover of a feint
on the front, but was in reality di-
rected against the Spanish flank. The
first charge was repulsed, but in the
evening a more violent assault was
made for the purpose of capturing the
Spanish battery. The Moors displayed
great courage and skillful tactics.
They rushed forward in small squads.
Many of the tribesmen succeeded in
breaking through the barbed wire en-
trenchments, where they fell at the
mouths of the cannon after hand to
hand fighting. It was 8 o'clock on
Sunday morning when the Moors
finally retired. The Moors numbered
5000, the French and Spanish total
