UNDER HORSES FEET
FIFTEEN PERSONS INJURED
WHILE WATCHING A CIRCUS
PARADE AT OGDEN.
Animals Were Driven Upon Throna
by RunaWay-One Victim So
Seriously Hurt That Recovery
is Doubtful.

Ogden, Utah.-There was a fearful
accident here on Wednesday as a cir
Gus was leaving the grounds for the
parade. A horse attached to buggy
and driven by a farmer became fright
ened beyond control when the caliope
started up. The animal broke from
the driver, tore itself loose from the
buggy that was filled with women
and children, and dashed madly into
one of the circus teams of six horses.
1t struck the middle team in such
way that the entire six horses were
swung around with force into the
crowd packed along the side of the
street. Many, women and children
especially, were trampled under foot
by the powerful horses before they
could be brought under control.
Mrs. Amanda Flynn, a feeble old
lady OF 76 years, was the worst suf-
ferer. Her hip and wrist were frac-
tured, and she was so bruised other
wise that little hope Is entertained
for her recovery.
No blame whatever is placed upon
the circus people, as it was impossible
for them to avoid the accident. The
owner of the horse that caused all the
trouble was warned time and time
again, 1t is said. to take his nervous
horse out of the crowd.

New Tariff Law In operation.

Observation-Disclosures received
at the treasury from New York, Bos-

the new tariff law is working with
unexpected smoothness. Generally at
the beginning of the operation of a new

houses are at skies and sevens" for
few days, but no confusion has yet
manifested itself in the administration
of the Payne law, it is said By treas

reason of the new law having been
constructed on the general lines Of the
Dingley act, although, of course, the
figures differ.

sent him to many of the out of the
way places of the world and gave him

of globe trotting.
Mr.. Crane has set foot in nearly
every country on the globe, has pene-
trated to out-of-the-way hooks and cor
ners, has occasionally fitted out cara
vans of his own to explore unfre.
quented lands, and Is as much at
home in Russia or China as he is on
his home street in Chicago. He is a
lfnguist of considerable attainments.
Is connoisseur in paintings, a collec-
tor of old and rare books and. what
Is more, reader of the same. He is
prominent as civic enthusiast and
for years has been a powerful factor
in movements for the advancement of
Chicago commercially, physically and
morally.
During his travels Mr. Crane spent
much time in China, his business in
terests taking him into every prov
fnce. He came into close contact with
all classes of Mongolians. In his
home is large collection of curios of
his many visits to China.
In all his knocking about the globe.
Mr.. Crane was absorbing languages.
In his library in his Michigan avenue
home are books written in a dozen
different languages. They are not
sorted according to catalogues as n
less scholarly owner would sort them
but instead are grouped uEder sub.
ject heads. Friends of Mr.. Crane saw
that when he wants to look up a ref
erence on topic he goes to his
shelves and takes down books In. sew
eral different languages and reads
them without the aid of a lexicon. He
is said to read IL languages and to
speak with ease and fiuency six or
eight.
Five years ago Mr.. Crane added
$4,000 of his personal fortune to 1.-The
Young Empress Fund" for Russian
soldiers and sailors. This gift was
made through Count Rostofstoff. chan.
cellor of the empire, and for 1t the
donor was the recipient of grateful
thanks from the empress. Long and
close contact with official and civilian
life of Russia has given him a friendly
feeling toward that nation, but at the
same time he has a warm spot in his
heart for China and the Chinese. The
feeling Is said to be reciprocated. The
Chinese have been drawn to other
members of the family. Professor
Williams, uncle of Mr.. Crane, was pro
fessor of Chinese at Yale and he is
the author of book on China.
Mrs. Crane was Miss Cornelia w.

MINISTER TO CHINA
Charles R. Crane Educated
Without Aid of College.
Has Visited Nearly Every Country on
the Globe and Is Master of Sew
eral Languases-Weli Ac-
qualnted with Orient.

Chicago.-Charles r. Crane, newly
appointed minister from the United
States to China, is a rare type of citi-
zen in that he was born to wealth and
yet may be classed in the roll of self
made men. He was reared with the
idea that college education is not
essential to the life success of a man
who has brain of his own and uses
1T. His schooling ended when he had
done with the public school. What he
has gathered of learning since then
has been from books and from the
world and its people as they have APP
peared to him in extensive travel.
Richard T. Crane, Sr., father of
Charles R. Crane, is vigorously op.
posed to modern methods of education
as carried on in the great universities
and many of the public schools. He
does not believe these institutions fit
a man properly for the battle of life.
and says they are too theoretical and
not sufficiently practical. He went so
far as to declare it would be a good
thing for one of the states If its state
university buildings were blown up.
Whether Charles r. Crane shared
the educational views of his father,
1t is fact that, instead of spending
four years in college and winning
degree, he jumped at once from his
boyhood schooling into the workshop
and started the business career which

Seattle, Wash.-Secretary of the In
terror Ballinger. who has just return
ed from conference in Portland with
officers of the federal reclamation SER
vice, said, on Thursday:
The reclamation service will not
play the dog in the manger policy to-
ward private irrigation corporations.
Instead, the government will give all
possible encouragement to private en-
terprises where they do not conflict
with established or projected federal
reclamation projects.
There should be no issue between
private capital and the government,
and land should not be withheld from
entry beyond reasonable period of
time, where its Development Is within
the range of private capital"
Secretary Ballinger said that his
present task is personally to examine
the various projects, thoroughly to in
vestigate the workings OF the recla-
nation service, then to formulate a
report thereon which will be made to
President Taft direct. He declared:
What | am trying to do is to cement
the Roosevelt policies as to water
power resources and to bring them
into state of homogeneous efici-
ency."

This is the Way Alton 3. Parker
Sizes Up New Tariff Bill.
New York.-Alton B. Parker, Demo-
cratic candidate for president in 1904,
made the following statement on
Thursday on the new tariff bill:
"The opinion that the Republican
platforms promise of a revision of
the tariff was intended to deceive the
people is now fully justified
BY bold and impudent speech, SEN
ators and members of congress have
asserted that the plank promised a
revision, not reduction, of tariff
duties. Their only reward is public
contempt, for their arguments demon
strate that the purpose of the tariff
plank was to cheat and defraud the
voters. And at the same time the &C
ton of the majority in congress
makes them parties to the fraud in
that they sought to consummate it."

TAFT's VIEWS OF BILL.
Not a Perfect Measure, or Complete
Compliance With Promises Made.


ington.-President Taft has
given out a statement embodying his
views of the new tariff act, in which
he supports the new measure as a sim
cere effort for downward revision. In
this statement he declares:
Il have signed the Payne tariff bill
because I believe it to be the result
of sincere effort on the part of the Re
publican party to make a downward
revision, and to comply with the
promises of the platform as they have
been generally understood, and as l
interpreted them in the campaign.
This is not perfect tariff bill. or
a complete compliance with the prom
ises made, strictly interpreted. but a
fulfillment free from criticism in re-
spect to a subject matter involving
many schedules and thousands of ar
ticles could not be expected It suf-
fees to say that except with regard
to whisky, liquors and wines, and in
regard to silks and some high classes
of cottons, all of which may be treat
ed as Injuries, and proper subjects
of revenue tariff, there have been
very few increases in rates.
There have been a great number of
real decreases in rates and they con-
stftute sufficient amount to Justify
the statement that this bill is a sub
stantial downward revision, and a re.
duction of excessive rates"
