Washington, Dec. 20-President

both Secretary Ballinger and his crit:
les for a public investigation of tn
whole subject matter underlying Il

John Golden, of 709 Alder street,
Scranton, died at the State hospital
at midnight, Friday, as the result of
injuries he received in a fall from
the Spruce street bridge early the
same morning.
Up until a short time before he
died, Golden's condition was not
considered serious.
More or less mystery surrounds
the young mans fall from the
bridge. Early Friday morning Pa
trolman Thomas Casey of the South
Scranton precinct was attracted by
coat lying on the bridge walk over
the Laurel Line tracks. Thinking
that possibly someone had fallen
over the rail, he investigated and
found Golden unconscious on the
tracks, about forty feet below. The
young man was removed to the State
hospital, where it was ascertained
that he had a compound fracture of
the right leg. 1t is thought now
that he also received internal injur-
les, which resulted in his death.

AUTO AND CARRIAGE CRASH.
Two Ladies Thrown Out-Mrs.
Dunkleberg Injured.

At 5:45 p. m. Thursday, Mrs.
Elizabeth Dunkleberg and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Frank Stark, of Seelyville,
we're driving on Main street in this
place, and, when near the northern
approach to the State bridge, their
carriage was struck by an automo-
bile, driven by Mr.. Wyman Kimble
who came down Park street. He
turned to the right, but Mrs. Stark,
who was driving, became tiurried,
and also turned to the right. Mr.
Kimble to avoid a collision then
turned sharply to the left. So also
did Mrs. Stark. Then the crash
came, the auto striking rear
wheel of the carriage and overturn-
ing it. Mrs. Dunkelberg was thrown
out upon her head and left shoul-
der and sustained a severe shock and
bruises. Mrs. Stark escaped unin-
jured. The injured lady was taken
to the drug store of William Peil,
near the scene, where DR.. Powell
attended her. She was soon after
removed to her home, and, at last
report was recovering from the
shock and bruises.
No blame is attached to Mr.. Kim
BILE for the accident.

1St,

Begin Business as Separate Co. Aug.
1St.
1t is expected the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Coal company
will begin business as separate COM
pany on August /.
Vice President E. E. Loomis will
hold that office in both companies, as
it is understood that under the law
there is nothing to prevent him from
holding both positions. The one
thing the company cannot do under
the Supreme court decision is to
transport coal; it can mine coal, but
being a public commodity cannot
ship it.
The new company is buying and
selling company. The railroad places
the coal in the cars, the new COM
pany buys it and ships it over the
road and then sells it, the railroad
company getting 65 per cent. of the
tiuewater price. The only coal de-
partment official directly affected by
the change is H. A. Smith, the coal
sales agent, who pays the railroad
for Office rent in the new station at
Scranton.

President Taft has exercised exc
cutive clemency in favor of a
woman for the first time since his
inauguration. He also rebuked
Judge Lands and held to the doc
trine that promises made to the ac-
cused should be fulfilled. The
woman, Marion Gray, % years of
age, was prosecuted for conducting
a matrimonial agency. She was
promised that if she burned her
records, and the addresses of peo-
pie with whom she had done busi-
ness, and plead guilty, she would
escape with fine. Instead of fine
she was sentenced to a years i'm
prisonment. President Taft reduced
this to one month.

DEAR, KIND LITTLE EVA.
Tells Why She Turned Against
ThaW.


Before leaving White Plains for
New York Thursday evening, Eve
lyn Thaw discussed her testimony.
If the Thaw family had done the
right thing by me, l would never
have taken the stand to testify
against my husband" she said.
But they wouldn't guarantee me
the allowance l asked for when the
annulment proceedings were begun.
If they had done that, l would have
been far away from here to-day and
Harry would have a better chance
of getting his liberty.
Il don't know what l shall do
now, have no idea what my future
course will be. l must go out and
get a living somehow. / can't go
back to the stage. My notoriety
would prohibit that. The public
would say l testified against my
husband to make myself notorious.
will try to get work as a model.
l can do it, too, / am sure.
"Often 1 feel sorry l ever saw
Harry Thaw," she plaintively re-
marked.

According to Consul-General
Jones, of Winnipeg, the Canadians
in that section of the Dominion would
like to have Protective duty, OF
rather a discriminating one against
rats if such a thing were possible.
He says that they have never known
rats up in that country until recent
ly, but they are now marching on
Winnipeg and have appeared in the
towns of Emerson and Gretna, Man
itoba, few miles north of the United
States boundaries, and were trekking
northward. All of the municipalities
on the Canadian side of the bound
ary are taking up the subject to de-
wise some plan to meet the situation,
as the rats are very injurious to the
grain raised in that section.

Dr. Distaso says one doesn't need
to grow old. That you can be al
ways young, if you begin when a
child, by having your stomach, veri-
inform appendix and other useless
appendages removed. Says the stom-
ach is a nonsensical incumbrance
as we'll as the appendix. 1t is simply
playground for worms and things
and is no good anyway. We just
use it because we think we have to.
Why didn't he tell us all this when
we were young?

Those editorials by John Burrett,

in the Carbondale Leader, chock full

Twenty-Five Republican members
and one Democratic member of the
House of Representatives were in
formed by President Taft on Friday
last that he wanted the tariff revision
downward, and would devote him
self to that end. He made it plain
that he was not in sympathy with
the efforts of his callers to present
reductions in the duty on articles
for which they were demanding pro-
lection. He wants the forthcoming
tariff law to provide for free hides,
free oil, free coal and free iron ore
and a reduction of fifty per cent. in
the present duty on sawed lumber.
The tariff conferees gave it as their
opinion that these things could not
be accomplished, but this did not
cause the president to change his
position.

That the United States chews
and smokes more tobacco than any
other country in the north-temper-
ate zone, was shown by the recent
debate in the Senate over the to-
bacco schedule in the tariff bill.
Against a per capita consumption
of 2.9 pounds in Austria, "a in
Hungary, 2.2 in France, 2 pounds
in England and IL pounds in Italy
we have a per capita consumption
of 6 pounds. This means an aver
age annual consumption of nearly
II pounds for every male person
in the Republic over 16 years of
age. The United States government
now obtains about $S0,00O,O00 of
revenue from customs and excise on
tobacco. On the basis of existing
consumption in the United States
the government statisticians have
calculated that if we imposed the
taxes applied in the United Kingdom
the tobacco revenue would amount
to $2S0,00O,OOO instead of $780,
100000; to $F36,585,000 If the
French rates of taxation or charge
were applied; and to $477,675,0OO
if the Italian rates were imposed.
1t is doubtful if additional taxation
would curtail tobacco consumption.
1t did not do so when the Spanish
war tax was added, and which has
since been kept on by the Tobacco
Trust, though not paid to the gov
ernment. The trust controls 80
per cent. Of the tobacco trade.

Pennsylvania Monument to War
Heroes


Heroes.
The state legislature has appro-
priated money for the erection of
a 100000 memorial at Gettysburg
to the soldiers who fought in Penn
sylvania regiments in the battles
which we're the turning point in the
Civil war, and drove the Confeder-
ates out of the Northern states,
not to again return. 1t is fitting
that Pennsylvania should erect one
of the finest monuments on the
battlefield, which is now dotted
with so many memorials. The site
chosen for the memorial is a tract
of four acres at Hancock and
Pleasanton avenues, close to the
high water mark of the war, and
it is hoped to complete and dedicate
the monument by October 1, 1910.
All survivors of the battle who
fought in Pennsylvania regiments
will have their fares paid by the
state, if they will attend the dedi-
catory services.
The design calls for tablets
around the base of the monument.
These will be of bronze and number
Sc in all, containing the names of
all soldiers who fought in the Sc
Pennsylvania organizations engaged
in the battle and who answered roll
call at the muster for pay on July
8, 1868, the day before the battle
opened. These names are being
copied in the record and pension
bureau of the war department.

Here's a queer state of doings:
Magistrate Neumer, OF the Manhat-

City, decided, last Wednesday, that
father who had legal charge of his
daughter thirteen years of age had
no right to instruct her against her
will, in the form of religion she
should follow. 1t has always been
supposed that parent, who legally
supported and cared for his children,
has, if any one has, the right to in
struct them in religion, as we'll as in
other things. The parent will appeal
from the decision to the Supreme
Court.
