an hour and an engine on the Seaboard
Air Line railway met at right angles just

The injured are:
J. W. Judson. electrician, shoulder
broken, ankle broken, many abrasions
and cuts, and perhaps seriously injured
internally.
Peter Rabey. contractor, badly bruised
and cut and perhaps injured internally.
The three men were the only occupants
of the automobile and were speeding out
the Augusta road. The engine. moving
away from the city, also moving rapidly.
was hidden from the automobile by build
ings and trees until within short dis
lance of the grade crossing. toward which
each was running.
The engineer and Judson. who was at
the wheel OF the car, saw the dang IT
simultaneously, too late for either to stop.
The car was caught by the engine pilot
and hurled through the air. The occu-
pants were all thrown out and the car
was wrecked.

the penitentary of Pennsylvania by the
governor of that state for the murder of
Madge Yorke. an actress, spent yesterday
in Richmond The visit to relatives and
old-time friends was kept partial Sc
cret. and few knew that he was here.
Fewer still would have recognized him.
The unfortunate man. it is said, looks
haggard and worn and old. Gentry is a
native of Richmond and spent his boy
hood here. 1t Is probable that he will
spend much time at the northern home
of another actor, who is native of Rich
mond and who was friend of Gentry
many years ago.

Told Roosevelt Tariff Revision
Would Elect the Democrats.
REFERRED TO HISTORY
Said Party Reducing Duties in Every
Case Suffered Defeat.
DISCUSSED FREE HIDES CASE
Declared That More People Want
Cheaper Food Than Lower
Rates on Manufactures.

Some antiquarian politician roofing
tration. has dug up letter to President
Roosevelt from Leslie NJ. Shaw. when he
was Secretary of the Treasury. bearing
upon the burning issue now before the
tariff conferees. The letter is dated Au'
gust ). 1905. and addressed to the Presi-
dent at time when there was agitation
for tariff revision. The essential part of
the letter follows:
Advised Against Revision.
'Washington. D. c., August 3. 1905.
Dear Mr.. President:
Il am constrained to say another word
about the tariff. ! am abidingly con-
WINGED that to revise the tariff during the
next session of Congress will give you a
democratic Congress for the last two
years of your administration. and that to
revise during your administration will
give democratic successor.
Moody is right when he says that q
revision without putting hides on the free
list will make Massachusetts, a demo-
cratic state.
Wilson is equally right in saying that
to put hides on the free list will carry
three and probably five states to the
democratic party. While agreeing with
both of them. l agree with you that the
issue between free and dutiable hides Is
relatively immaterial to everybody.
1.-The leather manufacturers of Massa-
chusetts have no difficulty, or l will say
little difficulty. in getting drawback on
the leather used in the manufacture of
shoes for export. " ="
The "wiIson" referred to was James
Wilson. then as now Secretary of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Moody. now on the Supreme
bench. was then in the cabinet
Sequel to Reduction in Duties.
From the same collection of archives
the following gloomy prophecy by Secre-
tary Shaw was dug out:
mo political party within the last fifty
years has ever revised the tariff down
ward and carried the next election. The
republican party tried 1t in 1888. and Mr.
Cleveland was elected in 1884. The demo-
cratic party tried it in 1887, and the re-
publican party elected the President and
the Congress in 1888. The republican
party attempted to lower the tariff Octo-
Der 1, 1890, and a Congress democratic
by 142 majority was elected thirty days
thereafter. The democratic party con-
summated revision in August 1894, and
seventy days thereafter Congress was
elected republican by 81 majority.
II desire to throw out a note of warn
ing to my friends in the agricultural
states Bear this in mind-that there are
several times as many people demanding
cheaper food as are demanding a reduc-
ton of the tariff on any manufactured
article. No one state can revise the tariff
in the interest Of that state only There
are localities willing to sacrifice every
suggestion of protection which the Ding
ley law affords Dakota, in the open and
avowed hope that by so doing additional
markets may be obtained for their own
products 1t is fortunate, therefore, that
no one state can revise the tariff

BALTIMORE MURDER RECORD.
Official Report Shows 635 Deaths by
Violence in AZ Years.

Violence in AZ Years.
BALTIMORE, July GA record has
been compiled by Deputy Marshal Man
ming. with the assistance OF Patroimen
Manning and Payne. Of the murders that
have occurred in the last AZ years in Bal
timore The statistical record begins
January 1, 1857, the year in which the
police department Of the city was really
organized. It was no easy task to gather
all the data found in the books of the
police department and the work required
three months.
According to this record there have been
$50 murders in the city since the organi-
cation Of the police department, and only
per cent OF the murderers escaped pun
ishment. their identity not having been
established or because they escaped. OF
those captured about 80 per cent have
expiated their crimes by death on the
gallows and the rest have been sentenced
to various terms in the state penitentiary
or in the city jail. Some of the cases
were dismissed on account OF legal TECH
nicalities or for self-defense or great
provocation.
The record shows that murders have in
creased in Baltimore during the last for
ty-two years. which Is due partly to the
increase in the population. but also, ac-
cording to the deputy marshal, to the fact
that In later years so-called undesirable
foreigners and bad class Of negroes"
have come to this city. The greatest
number of murders were, according to the
record, committed in 1900 and 1907, as
thirty -one persons met their death by vio-
lence in each of those years. Next fol-
lows the year 1895. with g. and 1906, with
% The lowest number Of murders re-
corded was in 1869, when only eight &C.
Cured.
In the Same period thirteen men were
killed by policemen whom they attacked.
and in every instance the officer who did
the shooting was acquitted either by the
coroners jury or by the grand jury. Five
police officers were among the killed of
that period.
The report disproves the theory that
most crimes of violence are committed
during the hot weather. when the blood
Is abnormally heated and the nervous
tension greatest. The record shows. on
the contrary, that more murders have
been committed in January. November
and August than in the other months Of
the year.

HOPE TO CARRY STATE
Virginia Republicans Already
Planning for 1912.
TO BEGIN WORK JULY 1929
Date for the Assembling of Their
Convention.
NAGEL DOWN FOR ADDRESS
A. p. Gillespie of Tazewell Slated for
Governor and a Full Ticket
to Be Nominated.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. July 2G--En-
couraged by President Taft's desire for
an active opposition in the south, Virginia
republican leaders are determined to be-
gin at the state convention which will be
held here July % and 20 the work OF
building up an organization in the hope OF
a republican victory in Virginia at the
next national election
Aside from being the first republican
state convention to be held during the
Taft administration this gathering will
lay claim to national attention through
the presence of one OF the Taft cabinet
officers, Secretary Nagel Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. who will
address the delegates Wednesday night.
BY putting up the strongest state ticket
they can muster on platform indorsing
the party declaration of the last national
convention. the Taft administration and
the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill. and contain
ing plankS on all live state issues, the
republicans will prepare for an active
fight during the approaching guberna-
torial campaign.
Congressional Elections.
Next year. when the congressional cleo
tions will be held. candidates will be put
in the field in each of the ten districts
and strong efforts will be made to in
crease the party representation in Con-
gress, now centered entirely in Repre-
sentative c. Bascom Slemp. who is the
recognized republican state leader.
Mr.. Slemp says that the republicans OF
the state hold strong hopes of carrying
Virginia for the national ticket in 1912.
AS the situation now stands. A. p.
Gillespie Of Tazewell, lawyer and cattle
raiser, it is expected. will be nominated
for governor by reclamation. Candidates
for all the state offices will be put in the
field.
Liquor Liveliest Issue.
The liquor question probably is the
liveliest state issue in Virginia at this
time. as the Anti-Saloon League has been
making strong fight for state wide pro-
hibition. Both of the two candidates con-
testing for the democratic nomination for
governor are favoring local option with
the understanding, however, that they
would sign a prohibition bill if passed by
the legislature.
Mr.. Slemp says that the republican con-
vention probably will advocate local op-
ton and the adoption Of the county unit
system in local option counties.
The state republican platform also will
contain planks advocating the election of
state corporation commissioners by the
people and the creation of two boards to
reorganiZe the present system of taxa
ton in the state. according to Mr.. Slemp.

TO IGNORE THE PRIMARY LAW
OF LEADING
MARYLAND REPUBLICANS.
Act Providing for Popular Express
sion for United States Senator
Regarded as Unconstitutional.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. July o6.-In selecting
a candidate for the United States Senate te
be voted for at the Joint convention Of the
general assembly next January. as sue
cessor to Senator Rayner, the senatorial
primary election law passed by the last
general assembly will not be utilized
This announcement has just been made
by prominent and influential republicans
The best Of legal opinion seems to be
that the Maryland act is not constitu-
tional and that the United States Senate
assuredly will not refuse admission to q
Maryland senator who was not selected
as a candidate before his election by
the general assembly according to the
ST ate act.
Mr.. Rayner. who is at present the only
democratic candidate for the Senate, has
not finally decided to resort to the sena-
tOrial primary TO demonstrate that he
is his party's choice for the Senate as
he is understood to be fully aware of the
unconstitutionality of the law and tc
share the belief that il elected to the
admission. He may. however. seek legal
advice to guide him in his course.
Objection to the Act.
There doesn't seem to be any particular
objection on the part of republican lead
ers to popular primary for the senate
but they do not like the present law
1t does not provide for popular pri-
mary. but merely places obligations upon
members elected to the state senate and
house to vote for that candidate of the Il
party for the United States Senate who
received majority of votes cast in their
respective counties and legislative dis
tricts Of Baltimore. So. while it is pos
sible for a candidate on a total party
vote In the state to receive ma jority
this majority would not carry with ii
an election.
To win the election a candidate must
receive majority of the votes of his
party in the counties and city districts in
which legislative candidates of the same
party were elected. provided, of course
the members of the senate and house OF
that party are i'll the majority In the
joint convention.
When convinced that the Maryland Law
Is not valid the republican leaders die
not feet justified in inviting republicans
to enter the primary, thus going to un.
necessary expense. for the cost of the
conduct of the primary will fall upon the
senatorial candidates and will be in the
neighbOrhood of 1900.
