afire. She arose. a pillar of flame.
and half demented fought fiercely thru
the throng. igniting the gowns of other
women as she struggled among them,
shrieking with pain.
The accident came during the second
event in which well known cyclists. in
Guiding Stellbrnk, Contenet. Ryser. and
Stol were competing. 1t was Ryser's
machine that blew up After a few
laps had been ridden a tire of his BIZ
cycle burst and Ryser lost control. The
benzine exploded Immediately and in a
second the cycle was ablaze.
Ryser was hurled from the machine
into his competitors and he and sew
eral Of them were Injured. while his
mount took the fence So terrific was
Its speed that II crashed on thru the
crowd beside the track and into the
stand. where another throng was
seated.
Spectators were pitched right and
left as the cycle sped on It's wings OF
death Two women were killed at once
and their bodies, saturated with the
flaming benzine. were burned to elm
ders.
The hurtling torch. not content with
igniting the inflammabe dresses of the
women. set fire to the grand stand.
The flames flashed about the occu-
pants. the clothing of many of whom
already We're ablaze. Panic ensued,
Men, women and children fought like
beasts. vainly trying to get away from
the danger which had come upon them
like bolt from a clear sky.
After nearly half a hundred had been
beaten. trampled. kicked and cuffed by
terrified companions, cool heads man
aged to gain control and calm followed
chaos.
The track where the disaster hap
pened was opened n week ago Sunday.
1t originally was coated with prep
araton of tar. This was found to he
unsatisfactory and benzlnc was applied
to remove what was left of the prep
aratlon. The accident was due prim-
arily to the machine skidding on ii
slippery place.

Berlin, July 19.-At least eleven per-
sons were killed. between thirty and
forty seriously injured, and others hurt
when motorcycle exploded during a
race at the Old Botanic Gardens Sun
day. Hospital physicians say several
of the injured are in a hopeless condi-
ton.
The motorcycle, which was the pace
maker, after the blowup instantly be-
came all in flames. 1t plunged like a
streak of lightning into a mass OF
closely packed onlookers. jumping the
barrier that separated the track and
the crowd with the speed OF comet.
The accident happened so quickly
that none, not even the rider of the
machine. was aware of 1t until whole
sale injury had been done. A woman
was the first victim. She was hit by

CONGRESS CONFRONTED WITH
DIFFICULT PROBLEM IN
BOND ISSUE.
DEPRECIATION OF OLD
THREATENED BY NEW ISSUE
Readjustment Of Taxation Plan Con.
sidered Necessary-several Plans
Being Considered to Avoid piscredt-
ing of consoI and Panama Bond
Outline of the Situation.

Washington, July 19.-How to pro-
tect from serious depreciation out
standing United States bonds is the
intricate problem which confronts con-
zation of the new issue, and it is
thought fits solution can only be ef-
fected thru some equitable adjustment
of the tax on circulation.
According to present plans the sec
retary of the treasury will be author
ized to issue from time to time addi-
tional Panama canal bonds up to
1920, 900, bearing not to exceed 3
per cent interest The governments in
terest-bearing debt at this time aggre-
gates approximately s913.OO0,000, of
which nearly 731.ooO,ooO is in 2 per
cent bonds. OF this total national
banks have on deposit in the treasury
as security for circulation about $780,
100000. Four f1fths of the entire ma
tonal debt, therefore, is in these two
classes OF per cent bonds. Under the
when secured by per cent bonds, are
subject to a tax of one-half of i per
cent per annum, while circulation
based on bonds bearing a higher rate
Of interest pays a tax of per cent.
Old Bonds Deprecated.
1t has been estimated that at the
present market price of both 2 per
cent conso]s and Panamas there al
ready has been on the whole amount
outstanding a depreciation from the
price which tie government sold them
to the public of about s1S,00O,000, and
it is believed in some quarters that to
issue any considerable portion OF
threes, in which it is proposed to au-
thorize with circulation privileges not
materially inferior to those accorded
twos, probably would result in further
| depreciation of the latter, which might
reach point even below par, thus ira-
pairing the public credit
The question therefore before con-
gress is not how to discredit the and
rs per cent bonds now up for circula-
tion and at the same time make the
proposed issue of per cents attractive
to investors. A number of suggestions
and possin:e solutions of the prob
lem are known to be under considera-
ton.

TAFT HAS HOUSE LINED UP.
senate's Final Vote on Tariff Bill
Somewhat in Doubt.

Washington, July 19.-Speaker Can
non and Representative Dwight, of
New York, republican whip" of the
house, had conference with the pres
ident today regarding the votes the
president had undertaken to deliver to
the conferees on the tariff bill in sup
port of the sort of measure Taft de-
sires-downward revision on practical
ly every schedule Of the Dingley Jaw
and but small duty if any on raw
materials.
''The bill will be reported by the con-
votes" said Dwight after the confer
ence. "It will not be Objectionable to
the president either" Dwight, more
than any one else, knows where the
votes to pass the bill in the house are
to be delivered. Taft admits there is
no doubt of enough votes in the house
to pass such measure as the con-
ferees have promised to produce, but
the attitude Of the senate still gives him
some concern, it is said, but he is
hopeful even there that the members
will be willing to put matters to vote
without long flibustering or debate.
Free hides seems the principal sub
ject of worry at the White House, but
even this difficulty is expected to be
smoothed out by some sort of COM
promise or perhaps the imposition of a
nominal duty
Bridge Bill Passed.
The Omnibus bill authorizing the
construction of bridges across various
navigable waters of the United States
was passed by the house today.

"rEDDY" HAS NOSTALGIA
Former President Having Good Time
Except for Occasional Attacks of
Homesickness - kermit's Reckless
ness Gives Him Worry.

Washington, July 19-Colonel Roose-
Welt, to judge from a letter received
from him by friends in this city. is
having quite as successful and inter-
esting a trip as he -5inti. ysted. The
letter is dated Nairobi, A a.. Among
its striking passages was one referring
to Kermit Roosevelt's hunting. Ker-
nit lit seems, shows more enthusiasm
than caution in the pursuit of African
big game and some of his encounters
have been of nature to excite re-
mark from his father. Tho enjoying
his stay in Africa, Colonel Roosevelt
apparently has touch of nostalgia
now and then.

Secretary Ballinger has been waging
war on every policy as regards the for

former President Roosevelt and like

Secretary Wilson of the agricultural

Washington, July Ex-senator Gull
iom, who Is one Of the conferees on
the tariff bill, was called away today
to attend his wife, who is very i'll with
an affection of the heart at Atlantic
City. There is really very little left to

conference room, "and as matters now
look there is no reason in the world
why we should not get thru with the

to the outlook and all are working

Before leaving Cullom left instruc-

on gloves and hosiery, for free coal or
for reciprocity arrangement, and for
the senate provision for countervail-

At its forenoon session today the
