THAW CASE

ERAL OF STATE--MANY SAY

week. denying the application for a
change of venue to New York county;
removes the case from District Attor-
ney Jerome of New York. The case
is now entirely in the hands Of the
state attorney general.
1t is said that the state will call
a number of witnesses, including the
physicians and attendants at Mattea-
wan, who will testify that in their
opinion he is still insane. The plain
tiff will endeavor to refute this testi-
mony with that of number of lay
witnesses who have associated with
the prisoner since his confinement
and several persons who have said
to have examined him. 1t seems
likely that both sides will call two
Or three alienists to give expert testi-
mony, although Justice Gaynor in
his decision suggested that the testi-
mony of experts appeared to be un-
necessary and declared that the testi-
mony of witnesses who had had the
prisoner in their care and others who
had observed him during the past
eighteen months should be sufhcient
to determine the issue.

Fatal ReSults--2 Killed
and Many Are Injured
PLEASURE PARTY IN COLORADO
MOUNTAINS ENDS IN DISASTER
SPECIAL TRAIN TAKES IN
JURED TO HOSPITAL.

BAILEY'S Colo, July 12.-Nine-
teen persons riding on hand car
and a push car attached collided on
a curve in Platte canyon ON the
Colorado & Southern Railroad to-
night with freight train. Two per-
sons were killed, two perhaps fatally
injured and eleven hurt. The hand
car was travelling down steep grade
at rate of forty-five miles an hour.
= The party was returning from a
baseball game at Shawnee, running
down the grade to Bailey's. There
were several women in the party,
most of whom were eastern tourists
spending the summer at Baileys.
When the car struck the engine
all of the nineteen persons were
thrown into the air, most OF them
striking outside the rails. The
freight train was stopped and took
the injured and dead back to Bailey S
where a special train was ordered
from Denver to take the injured to
Denver hospitals.
The killed were John Dougherty
section foreman, and Ray Hansen, All
employe at Kiowa Lodge, Bailey's.

middleweight has been striving for
sometime to bring about.
1t is the intention of Messrs Hall
and Nevin to continue making ar
rangements for the big go and will
have the forfeit money in the bank
before the agreement calls for 1t.
1t is the general impression that
the meeting will kalce place, it would
place the colored man in bad light
should he fail to make good the tele-
gram sent Hall by his manager and
it Is not thought he will allow him
self to be placed in a position where
the sporting public could call him
gutter.
Should Langford refuse to meet
Ketchel here on Labor day, it is
quite probable that he would never
be given another opportunity, as 1t is
well known that the latter has al
ways been prone to draw the color
line and having once given Langford
chance to enter the ring with him,
might refuse to consider any pro-
position from him in the future.

IN
THE HOUSE
A PRESENT AUTORiZ-
ING INCOME TAX REGARDLESS
OF APPoRwoNNIENT AMONG
sTATES-pAYNE OPPOSED.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Aftei
agreeing to take vote today at
p. m. on the joint resolution the
house presented an amendment au-
thorizing the leving of an income
tax regardless of apportionment
among the several states. The house
proceeded to discuss the proposition.
Congressman Payne declared he OPP
posed such, and believed it the most
difficult to enforce and hardest to
collect. He said 1t was a tax on the
incomes of honest men and an exemp-
tion to some extent to rascals.
1t is perdicted that cotton bagging
which was put on the free list by
the senate will be put on the dutiable
list and that the duty on coal will
be placed at forty cents. The most
strongly contested schedules are to
be the wool, petroleum and hides.
All senate amendments to the
tariff bill were rejected
by the house today.

LOCAL. SPORTS HAVE EVERY
CONFIDENCE THAT LANGFORD
WILL SIGN AND THAT MILL
WILL TAKE PLACE HERE.

Messrs. Hall and Nevin, the local
fight promoters, were kept busy yes
terday getting matters in shape for
the meeting of Ketchel and Langford
here on Labor day. They both say
they do not place much credence in
the telegram received yesterday to
the effect that-Langford will not sign
unless a different division of the
purse is made. Mr.. Hall showed a
News representative wire which he
received from Langford's manager
before leaving San Francisco. The
telegram is as follows:

Mr.. Hall said the above telegram
was an acceptance of the offer he had
made to Langford to fight on the
terms contained in the agreement
already signed by Willis Britt. mana
ger for. Ketchel.
According to the promoters, Lang
ford has often stated he would fight
the present middleweight champion
If he only got expense money as his
share of the purse and they say they
have every reason to believe he will
make good his statement as the
colored fighter has long been looking
for an opportunity to get chance
to wrest the championship honors
from Ketchel.
A telegram was sent Langford
Sunday by Hall in which he stated
that a liberal allowance would be
made for expenses and that several
hundred dollars and transportation
expenses would be Immediately sent
when a final acceptance of the offer
was made. No answer has as yet
been received but it is thought the
message might not have been receiv-
ed by Woodman, as he Is supposed
to have left New York for Pittsburg
Sunday. Mr.. Hall stated last even
ing that number of persons in San
Francisco, who were well posted on
pugalistic affairs, Informed him that
Langford would not for a moment
overlook a chance to sign an agree
ment, which meant meeting Ketchel,
for should he be the winner in that
battle he would be the logical oppon-

The Session of Congress.

notwithstanding early prophecies to
the contrary, the session Of congress
now gathering Roadway is apt to be
both busy and prolonged. In addition
to the measures to which the president
will direct attention, a considerable
number Of projects calling for legisla-
tive attention is indicated as likely to
come up, and the fact that there has
been no concerted planning Of i'm
portant bills in advance makes the
outlook all the more promising for in
definite extension Of the session, for
the experience has been that absence
Of c~ut-and-dried programs makes for
discursiveness.
The prospect Of special messages
from the president to follow the gem
erai one Of today, is significant Of the
Importance of some Of the topics that
are to arise for consideration, while
the rumor Of matters hat are to orig
mate on the floor Of the house adds to
the expectation Of crowded days ahead.
One thing in connection with the
opening session must give the citizen
satisfaction, and that is the remarka-
BILE cut in the budget. The cry Of
economy in expenditures is herein
shown to be no idle one; every depart
ment has pruned closely, and the out
look is distinctly encouraging for a
careful administration Of the nations
finances. The estimated saving Of
more than 500, 100000 is a Christ
mas present that the people do not
want to be disappointed about in the
Developments Of the session.

A King as Stevedore.

History is filled with references to
monarchs who in crises of battle took
the field in command of troops, but it
remained for Gustave Of Sweden to
step personally into the breach in an
industrial warfare. The report that
this monarch has actually turned steve
dore and studied labor conditions un-
der the guise of an active workingman
is no spectacular play of sentimental
ism, but an earnest effort on the part
Of the sovereign to get at facts which
otherwise are beyond his reach.
Sweden has for months been suffer
ing from one of the most gigantic la
Dor conflicts in its experience. The
general stagnation of business has
been more in the nature Of a lockout
than a strike, the employers having or
ganized to prohibit labor ~organiza-
tions, and having beer able, on ac-
count of the relative smallness of the
area and the concentration of indus
tries, to work more effectively than
have similar anti-union Affiliations in
larger countries.
Because of the bias given to official
and other reports King Gustave be-
came convinced that the truth of CON
ditions was being suppressed, and his
descent into the ranks was the step of
a man bent upon being undeceived.
Having informed himself concerning
the ~stevedores at close range, he now
expects to pursue his inquiry in other
industries, and there can be no ques-
tion but that he will be prepared to in
stitute genuine reforms in the attitude
Of capital and labor toward each other
when he shall have concluded his in
vestigations.

Who is TO Blame 2

Where shall we put the responsible
ity for the condition in which a num-
Der of streets are left for the winter
owing to delay in work on improve
ments? Several important thorough
fares where much business is trans
acted are today in an almost impassa-
BILE condition because work of ~repaving
was not promptly executed.
That the contractor can point to
some one else. who may in turn also
point to a third party, and so around
the circle, does not remedy the condi-
ton from which the public suffers. The
fact remains that the contracts were
let in good season and that the work is
still undone.
Is the contractor to blame, or is II
the city council for not enforcing oper-
atoms, or is 1t the public, who have so
long and patiently borne this abuse
that neither contractor, public service
corporation, or city council seems to
what the public thinks?

Rivers and Harbors.

The proceedings of the rivers and
harbors congress, which is about to
meet in Washington, will no doubt
have a bearing on the legislation to be
proposed in the house Of representa-
tives for the deeper waterways move
ment, for it may be expected to pro-
duce a specialization of the sentiment
in favor OF a broad and comprehensive
project. In shaping this policy the
president will have a leading share,
and hts views on the subject are al
ready we'll known, having been clearly
and foreibly expressed during his trip
down the Mississippi.
Congress will hardly be ready TO
vote finally the enormous bond issue
required for the deeper waterways
project until it is satisfied from the re-
port Of a competent commission OF
engineers as to the feasibility Of the
plan, and until It is assured that the
territory Immediately benefited by the
channels will supply the transportation

Trading in Futures.

The commissioner of corporations,
Herbert Knox Smith, by his latest re-
port of his Investigations into the op-
erations of the exchanges, throws fur
Their light upon the uncertainties of the
cotton market, particularly as It is
affected by the trading in futures. 1t
is evident, from a careful reading Of
the facts garnered both among
planters and producers in the south
and among the brokers in New York,
that evils exist in the present system
which demand speedy remedy.
Mr.. Smith attempts nothing radical,
He does not advocate the closing of the
cotton exchanges, indeed, he considers
their existence a necessity; but while
that at New Orleans follows natural
lines, II is evident that the n in New
York has developed a system Of arti-
ficialties which works to the disad=
vantage of the man who raises the crop
and of him who deals in it when
harvested.
The cotton trade has been so thor
oughly demoralized by speculation this
winter that the report m as a
timely reminder. Both in the north
and the south the mills have had to
curtail their production because of the
fictitious prices maintained by specu-
lation. This generalization can be
traced directly to the false basis of the
system Of dealing in futures, and If
Mr.. Smiths recommendations for re-
form succeed in putting the cotton
trade on a more secure foundation. the
planter will be a considerable direct
gamer and the public will also profit
to a large extent.

EDUCATION ron FARM LIFE.
Proper Uses of Prosperity on the
Farm.
Chicago Record Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
The secretary OF agriculture sings a song
of billions and Of dazzling prosperity. But
he has in mind the proper uses of pros
perity. He says: year by year the farmer
is better and better prepared to provide
the capital and make the expenditures
needed to improve his agriculture and to
educate his children for farm life and
work"
Let us suppose that the farmer has the
capital and then let us see how his chill
dren are to be educated. The se~cretary's
report shows that opportunities are offered
them in abundance. States are now vying
with one another in their support of agrl-
cultural schools and colleges. Several Of
the biennial state appropriations for these
institutions have approached or passed the
half-bilion mark, notably in Montana
04s7 COO. Pennsylvania G526, OOO. and Kan
sas G671, 900. The growth OF the agrlcul-
tural colleges is also indicated by the num-
her and character Of college buildings
completed during the year. Among the
more important OF these were the follow
ing college buildings: Georgia, $1O0, 900;
Iowa, 100000; Maine, $4,000; Michigan,
$175, 900; Missouri, 100000. and Montana,
SoUtuVO. w l5GOUslH mas COihplCANu a SioiVVN
live stock pavilion, and California has
started work on a 100000 agricultural
building
East, west and south these investments
are made, and the study of agriculture is
being introduced into high schools and ele-
mentary schools. There are extensive
courses, boys and girls clubs; there are
movable Schools and farmers institutes
for adults, and connected with the entire
educational system are the experiment sta
tons.
If the farmer encourages his children to
seize their opportunities they should see
that there is much more to excite an in
t%elligent, studlous, scientific interest in the
work of the farm than can be found in by
far the larger part of the work that is done
in cities. And farm life now is by no
means a life Of deprivations, 1t has the
modern conveniences, enjoys, as a matter
Of course, what were considered city lux
urles a few years ago.
Surely farmers children should remain
on the soil whether city men return to 1t
or not.

lines necessary for the active promo
ton Of the waterways as a competitor
and thereby a regulator Of the railway
systems.
All that, however, doubtless will be
forthcoming, for the advocates are de-
termined to see the enterprise through
to a finish. In the meantime, one
thing must not be lost sight Of, and
that is that the day of piecemeal APP
preparations has gone by. What is
needed now is a national system OF
waterways, and the governments &C
ton should be entirely for the develop
ment Of such a system, not IN sections,
but as a whole.
