A model road is the Mummelstown

Of mixture of water gas tar, cement,

oils from becoming ignitad, and the
wintergreen counteraets the odor OF
the others. There Is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect Of the mixture Is its disinfect-

there was not single contagious dis
ease In that section. The cost of ap-
plying the mixture Is 55k cents a

Manila, July 6.-In desperate fight
near Patian, on Jolo island, yesterday,
Jikiri, the famous Moro outlaw chief,
was killed and his entire band EXTERN
mated by detachments of regulars and
constabulary under Captain George L.
Bran, of the Sixth United States cav
airy. operating in conjuntion with a
naval fiotilla of the mosquito fleet un-
der Lieutenant Commander Signor.
The American loss was one private
killed and three officers and 20 enlisted
men and one sailor wounded.
Captain Biram's cavalry, with a few
scouts and constabulary and detach-
ment of sailors under Lieutenant Com
mander Signor, located and attacked
the outlaws in the mountains far from
the coast. The Moros fled and took
refuge in a large cave. The column
of troops and sailors surrounded the
place, but Jikiri refused to surrender.
A concerted attack was made, the
Moros fighting desperately in the
mouth of the cave until the last mem.
ber of the band was dead. As yet but
few details Of the fight have been re
ceived here.
Jikiri was one of the most famous
outlaws remaining in the islands. Ever
since the American occupation he has
fought the whites and has led raid af'
ter raid.

Annual Patriotic Carnage is Greatly
Reduced.
Chicago, July 6.-With three days
celebration of the nations birthday
this year, the remarkable fact stands
out boldly that the annual carnage has
been decreased to great degree. Ad-
vices from all points up to midnight
show that in all large cities new rules
and their strict enforcement have
checked the customary slaughter OF
children.
In New York there were but four
deaths for the three days. In Chicago,
usually drenched with blood under the
guise of patriotism, there was not o
single death for the three days. Ir
Washington there were no deaths anc
no injuries, and only the smallest fire
crackers were permitted.
Five deaths are reported from the
state Of Massachusetts,, one each II
Boston and other large cities. One
death is reported from Philadelphia.
The entire state of Oklahoma reports
but two deaths and nine serious injur
les. Small cities in New Jersey anC
Pennsylvania and Far Western locali
ties seemed most patriotic in casual
ties this year. In every case this car
be traced to lax police regulations.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS

Idaho, the only speakers before the SEN
ate today.
Borah was heard toward the close of
the session, when the Iowa senator
yielded the floor, which he had held
since yesterday. He took for his text
the declar alton made yesterday by
Aldrich that he would vote for the cor
poration tax amendment only as a
means of defeating the income tax,
and without resorting to personalities
he criticised the position of the chair
man Of the finance committee, who had
presented the corporation tax amend
ment to the senate.
Estimating the total revenues under
the Aldrich-P Payne bill at $3.50, 600, 600,
and those TO be derived from the inter
nal revenue at s240, 900, 900, he pre-.
dicted that ut the end of the fiscal year
1911 there would be deficit of moi
less than SITS, 100000 He therefore
contended that the amendment of the
tariff bill by the addition of an income
tax was necessary in order to produces
sufficient revenue.

Tuesday. July @.

Washington, July 6.-The Republi-
can majority of the senate finance COM
mittee today stirred up hornets nest
by reporting the new schedule of to-
bacco taxes as having been recon-
mended when it had not even been sub
mitted to the minority members, much
less laid before a meeting of the whole
committee. Aldrich was forced to
back water and recognize the rights of
the minority.
Aldrich said that he would call a
meeting of the finance committee for
tomorrow morning, giving the minor
ity members chance to express their
opinion.
All sections of the bill that senators
do not desire to reserve for further
amendment will now be agreed to en-
bloc. The senate then will consider
the tobacco amendment. the only
amendment not adopted in COMMITTEES
of the whole.

which is being watched with much in
terest by the wholesale dealers in fruit
and vegetables at Covent Garden and
other markets in the metropolis is be-
ing made connection with the con-
veying Of fruit ard vegetables from
long distances by motor. Yesterday
a motor van containing almost record
load of graves and other fruit, cucum-
bers and vegetables, arrived at the
market from Worthing, the journey
being over go miles. No damage what
ever was done to the contents of the
packages, and the motor arrived fully
an hour before the merchandise which
had been dispatched by train.

Nothing Doing in OIeo.

Washington, July 6.-President Taft
has expressed himself as opposed to
the plan of Secretary of the Treasury
McVeagh to raise $4,000. 600 by an in
ternal revenue tax of 2 cents bound,
fiat rate, on oleomargarine. The dairy
men, according to representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, are OPP
posed to the scheme. Secretary Nc
Veagh has stated that he has no desire
to introduce bill to carry out his ideas
unless "all interests agreed on the
terms. The objection of President
Taft and the dairy interests will obvi-
ously be sufficient TO max" the intro
duction of such bill futile.

SATURDAY., July 3.

Washington, July 3.-Senator Aid
rich achieved another sweeping victory
this afternoon when, by vote of more
than 2 to /, the maximum and mimi
mum feature of the senate tariff bill
was passed. This goes into effect on
March /, 1910. 1t empowers the pres
ident to add 25 per cent ad valorem to
all existing schedules, whether on the
free list or dutiable, to those countries
discriminating against the United
States.
In other words, where foreign ma
tions are disposed to accept trade with
America on the basis of the admins
trative tariff bill, soon to be enacted.
the statute will not be elastic, but will
stand as passed. But where nations
prohibit, by excessive taxes. goods pro-
duced in this country, the president
may retaliate by the simple issuance
of proclamation adding rs per cent
advalorem tn everything coming int
American ports from such restrictive
nations.
The bill aims particularly at France
The French people, as well as the Ger
mans, but the latter to less obnoxious
extent, fearful of the progress OF thu
American manufacturer, have beer
raising item after item, so it was ex
planned today, until now American
goods are almost prohibited from enter
ing French and German territories.
There remain II other administrative
features of the tariff bill to dispose o.
before il goes to the house. The repor
is tonight that the senate will hav'
each of them out of the way by Thurs
day, and that on Monday, July IL. tn
lower branch of congress will begin tn
consideration of the measure.

Thursday, July I

Washington, July /. - The senate
"came within one" today Of agreeing
to vote next Tuesday on the entire in
come tax amendment to the tariff bill,
including the corporation tax substi-
tute. The compact was prevented By
the objection Of Bulkeley.
There were several speeches today,
Borah leading off in favor Of the in
come tax and Root advocating the cor
poration tax but opposing the income
tax. II was evident throughout the
entire day that the corporation tax had
failed TO arouse az much interest IN the
senate as had been expected. During
the debate today Bourne, Of Oregon,
predicted that the corporation tax
would result in publicity Of corportion
affairs and thus prove Of great service
to the public.

German Invents a New Game Much
Less Dangerous to Play.
Paris, July Ga new game Of the
diabolo type is springing into favor
here, and as the American patents have
been taken out, ''la funda" will no
doubt be seen before long in America.
"La funda" is new fern of sling, as
its name shows. A little bag on a
wooden framework is fixed on a swivel
into sort of tennis racket without
strings or top. The bottom of the bag
is open, and two strong india rubber
bands prevent the ball, tennis ball,
from falling through. The game 10 to
sling the ball from one player to an
other or up into the air, to be caught
by the same player at will.
1t needs certain amount OF skill
and is certainly less dangerous and just
as healthy as diabolo. The inventor
is young German named Seeger. who
in demonstration which he gave the
other afternoon threw q tennis ball
higher than the chimneys of a seven
story house and caught it again with
out apparent effort.

Hartman Must Not Labor So Siren
uously as in Past.
Vienna, Austria, July edward
II. Hartman, the American railroad
wizard, must not work again 30 hard
or so continuously as he has done in
the past. This is the edict Of DR..
Adolf Struempell. the noted Vienna
specialist, who has diagnosed Harri-
mans ailment as incipient paralysis.
In obedience to this edict is Harri-
mans only safety.
For the present, declares Professor
Struempell. Mr.. Hartman must have
complete quiet. To this end his meals
are now being served in his room, and
he only emerges therefrom once day
to take the mild exercise which has
been prescribed as q part of his course
of treatment.
The course of treatment through
which Mr.. Hartman is now being put
is intended to cure his nervous trouble
and get him into as good physical con-
dition as possible, after which an en-
tirely new course of treatment will be
inaugurated in an effort to relieve the
paralysis which is affecting his limbs.
This cannot be cured, Mr.. Hartman
has been informed, bat its acute sympt-
oms can be relieved and its progress
stayed.
Mrs. Hartman is remaining con.
stantly by his side, and her ministra'
tions form an important feature of the
course Of treatment being given him.

Salt Lake, July CA wind storm
swept over Great Salt lake last even
ing, dashed the heavy water in huge
broadsides against the Saltair pavilion
and threatened the existence Of two
small pleasure boats cruising off shore.
After a struggle with the wind and
the waves in which the voyagers were
drenched with salt water, the launches
regained the pavilion.
In making landing, one of the
boats was dashed against the pier and
badly damaged. No one, however, was
injured. The gale, though of brief
duration, was one of the most violent
in the history of the lake. Rumors
that one of the boats had gone down
with 60 passengers reached here and
there was great anxiety until the out
come was known.
