cesslon OF shots and volley Of abuse.
Several Of the soldiers were wound
ed, two were killed. There was
slight wavering of the ranks occa-
stoned by the falling men. then the
section resumed its forward trot.. A
well-directed volley from the sol
diers sent the mob scurrying for
cover and the Captain, quick to avail
himself of every advantage, extend
ed his line of troops SO as to COM
mand a wider frontage.
The mob was not disposed to bat
tie with the soldiery. 1t is one
thing to defy the law when repre-
sented by handful of policemen,
and another when represented by
regiment of soldiers. SO after lit
tie desultory shooting they dispersed.
The troops were picketed in a man
ner calculated to prevent their re-
gathering. Suddenly the quietude
was disturbed by succession of
heavy blows which seemed to issue
from that part of the building where
the Offices were situated. Selecting
a Corporal of the company, Captain
Norton proceeded to investigate.
Presently they came to spot where
on balcony, three stories high, a
lank, silver-haired individual was
pounding with sledge hammer up
on the paddock which secured the
door leading to the offices of the
principal officials A command to
desist passed unheeded. Twice it
was repeated without effect. Cap
tain Norton was resolute character.
Put shot into that fellow" he or
dered. The Corporal paid no at
tention, but stood with his eyes fixed
in a peculiar way upon the figure
above him.
Norton's face grew ugly in its
sternness. Prompt obedience to his
orders he was in the habit of insist
ing upon. Gripping the Corporal's
shoulder in manner likely to arouse
his attention, he repeated his COM
mand. The Corporal raised his rifle,
took deliberate aim and fired The
figure on the balcony dropped the
hammer, turned completely around
and fell with arms outstretched across
the balcony railing. When the dis
turbance was sufficiently subdued as
to warrant the withdrawal of the
troops, the Corporal who had ac-
companied Captain Norton was
placed under arrest and charged with
hesitating to obey an order from
superior officer. After the evidence
had been given, Colonel Brydon re-
marked:
This is very serious offence,
Corporal, considering the circum-
stances. What have you to say?'
The Corporal made no answer.
There must have been reason. for
such conduct is not customary with
soldiers.
Why did you hesitate when you
received this order?''
The Corporal looked up. He was
distressed, and he experienced diff
ficulty in answering. His lips seemed
parched as with thirst, and he wet
them repeatedly with his tongue.
l had no wish to shoot that man."
he answered.
Why"' inquired the Colonel.
That was the order.''

Corporal, but he was my father"

CUTS DEATH RATE
United States Makes Best Show
ing on Record.
Only Fifteen Out of Thousand
Died Last Year.
MEN LEAD IN LIST.
Fifty Four Per Cent Were Males
Says Government.
England Is Doing Even Better
Than This.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The death rate
in the United States in 1909 was Is in
each 1000, according to a bulletin about
to be issued by the census bureau and
this is the lowest average ever record
ed for this country. The figures cover
only the cities and states having laws
requiring the registration of deaths and
these represent an estimated total pop
ulation of As, 776, 1893, or 55.3 per cent of
the estimated total for the entire coun-
tr--.
The states included in the summary
are California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Indiana. Maine, Maryland, Massachus-
etts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont
Washington and Wisconsin.
In addition to these, returns were re-
ceived from "a cities having local reg
istration laws.
The total number of deaths recorded
was 1872. .53S, of which 39S,597 or over 64
per cent were of males. The greatest
mortality occurred in March and the
lowest in June.
In 1909 the rate was 1874 per cent, the
last year indicating a falling off Of
about half of l per cent.
Excellent as the showing is, it was
not so good as was made in England
where the rate was only 1414 to the
thousand. The low rate in both coun-
tries is attributed to the absence of

DEFENDS HIS LAW
Congressman Serene Payne
Talks of the Tariff.
FulfilIs Platform Pledges of the
Republicans.
REVISION DOWNWARD.
WOOlen Schedule Not as He
Would Have Had 1t.
Resulted in Turning q Treasury
Deficit into Surplus.

Lyons. N. Y, Sept. 23.-Representa-
tive Serene E. Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee of the
house Of representatives. and author oe
the tariff law bearing his name, made
a warm defense of that measure before
the congressional convention which re-
nominated him here today. He said in
part:
Il have always been ready to give
an account of my stewardship to my
constituents. There has been so much
OF unjust criticism, so many mistaken
statements made during the past year
and half that it seems more fitting
than ever TO speak somewhat in detail
of what has been accomplished.
THE platform promised a revolution
of the tariff that should provide a duty
equal to the difference in cost of labor
here and abroad with a reaSona Die pro-
fit to the manufacturer. 1t promised
this as to each article whether it re-
on that article. OF course, intelligent
men generally familiar with the tariff
believed that such a revolution would
be downward on most articles. The
matter of preparation of a tariff bill
is a most perpleXing one. Under the
definition. of what the bill should con-
tain in a platform as plain as that
adopted in Chicago in 1908, the task is
not easy. With different wage scale
in every country and with differences
in wages in every part of each coun-
try, honest men, seeking the difference
in labor cost here and abroad, will not
agree in all their conclusions. To rec
oncile these differences, among II men
selected for the task, was a part of the
labor we had before us; and in the last
analysis the differences had to be set
tied by majority vote
Woolen Schedule Unsatisfactory.
"The result of our delIheration was
most satisfactory to me in general re-
suits, although there were other items,
like those of the woolen schedule,
which I was anxious to revise. 1t was
source of great disappointment to
me, after two exhaustive and extended
hearings, that I was not able to pre-
sent any program that a majority of
the committee would adopt for revo-
luton of this schedule. The reason
was not that the committee was un-
duly Influenced by those interested,
but that they could not agree upon
the labor cost of producing wool and
wooIen goods in this country and
abroad with reasonable profit to the
producer. OF course this left the wool
en- schedule where it was in the Ding
ley act, with one or two small reduc-
tions in duties.
Some of the amendments proposed
by the senate were good amendments
and improved the bill and when it got
into conference, so far as L was able,
1 endeavored to have such amendments
agreed to and nearly all of them were.
Revision Is Downward.
''The law as it was signed by the
president has resulted in a general
revolution downward and no amount of
special pleading, no misstatement of
facts, and no suppression of material
facts will ever make it appear other
wise.

ing VIM. Bleisner.
Testimony Will Be Closed This
Afternoon.

Seneca, Kan, Sept. 23.-Fred Keehn,
on trial for the killing of William BIels-
ner in a family feud several months
ago, this morning admitted shooting
Bleisner when he was placed on the
witness stand in his own defense.
Keehn testified that he found it neces-
sary to fire the shot in order to save
his own life. The defense will rest this
afternoon. after which the LAWYERS will;
begin their pleadings. the case probably
going to the jury some time tomorrow
Keehn, in his testimony, said that he
had the gun with him because of the
fact that he had 81. 600 on his person at
the time of the shooting. Six hundred
dollars of the amount, he testified, was
in gold Queried as to whether he ever
had been held up he replied that he
never had though he always carried a
large amount of money and the pre-
caution was not unusual with him.
That he had carried the same gun
every day in % years was the further
testimony of Keehn. He further testi-
fled that after the shooting he started
to walk four miles to get an automo-
bile to surrender to the authorities n
Seneca. His precaution was taken. he
testified, as he was afraid of a mob
doing violence to him. Keehn was
overtaken and arrested before he could
reach the point for which he had

USING The PROBE
Ballinger Starts Land Fraud
Investigation Of Own.
Anxious to Free His Depart
ment From Charges.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 23.-An in
vestigation of suspected land frauds
in Alaska which may exceed in scope
and startling developments the IA
nous Cunningham cases, is believed
to be in progress, guided by federal
officials in the northwest.
This investigation which is stated
to involve an entirely new group OF
claims in charges similar to those
brought against the Cunningham en-
tries is believed to have been inStltut-
ed and actively pushed by secretary
of the Interior Richard A. Balllnger'
who is believed to be anxious to clear
his department from the stigma con-
sidered to attach as result of the
Cunningham and CLAWS episodes.
The list of entrymen involved is
said to include many men of promi-
nence in Spokane and in the inland
empire, as well as others of even ma
tional Importance.
Secretary BaIIinger's recent visit to
Spokane, according to the rumorS
af1oat here, was made in furtherance
of the Investigation now in progress
by officials of the land office and the
department of Justice
Lending color to reports now cur
rent here of an investigation of sus-
pected land frauds in Alaska, from
which startling developments are eX-
pected, is the presence in Spokane of
Clyde Walker, former special agent at
Spokane and now register of the land
office at Juneau.
In addition, there are also said to
be two special agents operating out
of the Seattle office who have been on
the ground in Alaska and have con-
Quoted an exhaustive probe of the
cases with thorough secrecy. Special
Agent Christensen, the successor of
Louis r. CLAWS, and Special Agent
Carnahan are two of those said to
have been actively engaged in the
cases for several months.
The startling Developments expect
ed in Spokane within the next few
days are believed to explain in some
measure, the long silence of Secretary
BalIinger under the sting of the CLAWS
charges as we'll as the attitude of
President Taft toward his much-criti-
cized secretary of the interior Both
the president and his cabinet official
are understood to be looking to this
latest series of Alaska prosecutions to
clear the interior department and the
administration of lack of zeal in
guarding the wealth of Alaska from
corporate greed.

NO LOCKS FOR HIM.
Henry Nei1 Says Burglars Should Have
Hand of Fellowship.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Henry Neill.
secretary of the National Probation
league, does not believe in lock and
key to keep out burglars, and has had
all such safeguards against the intru-
der removed from his residence.
''If the right hand of fellowship were
extended to burglars instead of the
kick and threat, the world would be
better, the penitentiaries would be
emptied in a short time and there
would be no need of lock and key, bolt
and bar said Mr.. Neill yesterday.

wife and seven children and have

ment can go to the New York state
city on condition that satisfactory
rates are secured from the railroads
and if in the Judgment of the eXecu-
tive committee of the national council
of administration of the @. A. R., the
rates are not to its liking, the COM
mittee can select such other city to
which reasonable rates can be secured.
Los Angeles, Denver and Springfield,
Ill. were also after the encampment,
and San Francisco invited the veter-
ans to the Golden Gate city in 1915.
When New Orleans heard of the lat
ter invitation veteran from the south
ern city said the encampment would
also hear from New Orleans before
1915. the year for the opening of the
Panama canal.
The proposition of dollar a day pen
sion for life will doubtless be sheived
by the encampment. The committee
on pensions, which made it's report to
the encampment. decided against the
proposition on the ground that it would
be too expensive to the national gov
ernment. It was figured out that a dol
lar a day would increase the pension
roll more than S100, 100000 a year and
that it would take a half billion dollars
in the next year for pensions. The
pension roll now amounts to $3.50. .00O. 000
The report of the pension committee
favors the McComber bill now in con-
gress, removing the restrictions which
bar women who were married to vet
Grams after June 81 1890, and have since
become widows from receiving pen
sions. The bill, however, bars women
who become widows within three years
after they marry a veteran.
