(From Morgantown New Dominion.)
The annual encampment of the
West Virginia National Guard Is
more than an outing and a picnic for
the men who belong to it. They en-

The Guard goes along quietly with

the emergency arises we recognize
how dependent we may be upon a
well-drilled militia. 1t frequently
happens that years 60 by without the
necessity Of calling out the Guard,

times arises a disposition to poke
good-humored fun at it for playing
at war" But, on the whole, the pub

Railroad Fares.

While the Chesapeake & Ohio, a
road whose physical environments
and class Of patronage are similar to
those of the Baltimore & Ohio,
though enjoying a lesser degree Of
competition, Is charging three cents
a mile for transporting passengers by
virtue Of a court decree which an
nulled a legislative act, it Is inter

ments being offered passengers in
other quarters.
For instance, the Pittsburg papers
carry standing advertisement an
nouncing that the one-way fare on
the Baltim ore & Ohio between Pitts
burg and Cincinnati is $5.45. AS the
distance between these two points Is
about $50 miles, it will be noted
that this rate is much less than two
cents O mile. Yet, it is not an ex-

SEVEN PERSONS ARE KILLED
Building at Philadelphia Partially
coiIapses.

Philadelphia, July 16.-1n one Of
the busiest sections of the city and
at time when many pedestrians were
passing, the five-story brick building
at the northeast corner of Eleventh
and Market streets. which was being
reconstructed for the United Gas I'M
provement company, collapsed with a
terrific roar, burying or pinning be-
meath the ruins thirty-two persons,
seven of whom are dead, one missing,
one fatally injured and twenty-four
more or less seriously injured.
Those killed were workmen en-
ployed by Sax & Abbott, contractors.
81 The two lower floors of the build.
ing had been torn up and the three
floors were shored up by heavy tim
beers. Steel Orders were bracing the
snoring. 1t is supposed that by NOV
ing one OF the Orders, the entire
structure was loosened.
The crash came without warning
and narrow escapes were many. Be-
fore. professional aid could be mus
tered, automobiles. teamsters' wagons
and all sorts of nearby vehicles were
filled with the dead or injured and
hurried to hospitals.

ment.

New Draft Of Corporation Tax Amend.
lnent.
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
ton 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 + 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.
It appeared that much diff Guilty 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 az 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.

President Taft Defines his Att.
tude on the Tariff.
.FAvORS DOWNWARD REVISION
Statement Creates Sensation in
Congressional Circles.

Washington, July 17.-All doubt as
to where President Taft stands with
regard to the downward revision OF
the tariff was swept away when a
statement was given ont at the White
House setting forth in detail what
the president had to say to twenty.
three Republicans, members of con.
gress, who called to protest against
putting raw materials on the free list.
: The president in this statement de-
clared that the Republican party is
committed to downward revision;
that he has never had any other idea
of the Chicago platform, and that he
personally has promised downward
revision to the people.
This statement is interpreted In
some quarters here as direct Motif.
cation to the conferees on the tariff
bill that if the measure they finally
agree upon does not constitute a mate
rial reduction in specific duties the
president will exercise his power of
veto.
The presidents statement created
decided sensation among senators.
and representatives who became &C.
quainted with it's contents. The
statement was shown to Senator AID
rich. File made no direct comment
upon it, but said that the conferees
bad decided to let Mr.. Taft deal with
schedules upon which they could not
agree, it being up to the president to
secure the votes necessary to pass
the measure in the form in which it
would be reported out of conference
as result of his mediation between
the house and senate conferees.

SIXTEEN ARE DROWNED
Series Of Accidents in New
York and Vicinity.

New York, July 19-An accident to
an excursion boat and drownings at
bathing beaches claimed sixteen peo-
pie in New York.
Ten of these lost their lives when
the sloop Roxana overturned in a
squall off Staten Island and sunk and
the rest were victims of cramps and
exhaustion.
The Roxana was chartered by a
party at Brooklyn in the morning for
q sail across the bay to Staten Island
and return. About 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the return trip was
being made, a sudden squall was en-
countered and before the captain had
a chance to adjust his sails the copper
plates Of the boat were glistening in
the sun.
The passengers made mad scram-
bic for the upper rail and this, to-
gether with the wind, caused the boat
to completely overturn, throwing the
people into the mad waters of the
bay.
The officers of the tug Lamont wit
messed the trouble and went to the
rescue. but before they were on the
scene ten people had gone down to-
gether with the boat The survivors,
thoroughly exhausted, were taken to a
hospital on Staten Island.
The other six deaths were the re-
suit of drownings while people were
In bathing.

GREAT STRIKE THREATENED
Million English Miners Voting on Pro.

London, July 16.-The Miners Con-

Scottish Miners who are resisting q
wage reduction of pence a day. The
ballot will not be completed before
July ~ and the executive committee
Of the confederation will meet July
% to take action on the result.
The present feeling seems to be in
favor of the stoppage of all mines, a
condition which would entail prac-
tically the complete paralysis of Brit
1sh industries. In view of the conse-
quent expected shortage in the coal
supply many factories already have
served notice to their employees o!

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Testltles
Against Husband.
TELLS OF THREAT TO KILL her
Strongest Evidence for State at
=. Insanity Hearing.

White Plains, N. Y, July 16.-Harry
K. Thaw's pretty little wife, formerly
the chorus girl, Evelyn Nesbit, went
on the stand here and gave damaging
testimony against him. It was the
strongest point scored 50 far by the
state in it's fight to keep Thaw in the
asylum for the criminal insane at
Matteawan. He demands his release
through habeas corpus procedure on
the ground that he is a sane man.
When the days session was conclud-
26. For three days the state has
been trying to bring cut that Thaw
threatened his wife's life on one of
her visits to 'Matteawan, as tending
to show his irrationality. Blocked at
first by objections which were sus.
tanned by the court, Thaw's attorney
at last failed to show that the al
legged conversation at Matteawan was
confidential, as between man and
wife, and when Evelyn Thaw took the
witness chair her lips were unsealed.
And she related, as if in fear, what
Thaw's lawyer has sought most to
keep back, his alleged threat to take
her life if he were released from the
asylum.
what were his exact words?" de-
manded Mr.. Clarke.

"Why did he say that?"
1--WE were discussing his mental
condition. I had asked him what he
meant and he said: You know l was
not crazy on the night that I shot
White I asked him again and he
said: You know that I missed White
by two minutes on the day before. +"
Thaw, when asked about his wife's
testimony after court, said he was
not surprised at her attitude, but he
emphatically denied that he ever
threatened her life.
1T Is very plain to everyone that
her story is not true" he said. Il
never threatened to kill her. First,
she says one thing, and then another
IT'S it true that you made an at
tempt on Whites life on the day be-
fore the homicide was committed"
he was asked.
IF had you would have learned
Of it before this" replied Thaw.
