Had Better Fly Low.
Col. Roosevelt took short ride in
an aeroplane and liked it. The
aviator who ran the machine might
have won a big life annuity from the
interests if he had spilled the colonel
to the ground from height of a few
hundred feet. If the strenuous one
gets the habit of riding in airships
he had better fly close to the earth.-

!. So
An Absurd Proposal, Indeed.
You hear very little now about that
absurd proposal to cut the state tax
levy in half. While helping the
average tax payer few cents or less,
it would have helped the steel trust to
the amount of hundreds of thousands
OF dollars. If there was so much
money in the treasury that a cut in
the levy was in order why should the
tax commission raise the real estate
assessment in many counties, as it
has done, rather than reduce. It is
as easy to equalize by reduction as by
increase. Evidently, however, the
commission differed with the governor
and other state officers on the need
for cutting the levy.-Little Falls

SAN DOMINGO AND
 HAITI MAY FIGHT  Each Country Has Moved Its Troops to the Border OLD DISPUTE IS REVIVED General Belief Is That the Matter May Be Adjusted in a Satisfactory
 Manner in Spite of
 BclIigerency
OLD DISPUTE IS REVIVED

San Domingo. December 26-The Do- minican government is moving troops to the frontier. This action is explained . officially as due to the fact that Haytl has placed soldiers on the border line between San Domingo and Hayti.
 Diplomatic negotiations, however, con- tinue between the republics. This govern ment is confident that reference of the boundary to friendly arbitration is neces- sary.
 The boundary dispute between San Do- mingo and Hayti is of long standing. the latter occupying a considerable territory claimed by the former. Concessions granted to Americans by Hayti some time ago in the contested zone led to a demand by the Domican government that the border question be submitted to ar bitration.
 Yesterdays advices from San Domingo stated that clash had occurred on the border and that several persons were killed.
 The Dominican troops were dispatched by the American steamer Cherokee to a southern port.
 The Haytien minister has advised his government to withdraw its troops from the border and the general belief here is that the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted.

WAGON IS STRUCK
 BY HIGHLANDS GAR
Horse Is Killed Near North Haven, Negro Driver Jumps Fence and
 Leaves the Scene

A serious accident was narrowly avert ed last night about s:sO o'clock when a North Highlands car just short way be- low North Haven, struck a wagon of the Birmingham Transfer company broadside, smashing up the vehicle and killing the mule which was hitched to it.
 The car was in charge of Conduc- tor R. E. l.. Headley and Motorman R. L. Prim, whose accounts of the acci- dent claim the negro driver of the wa gon deliberately drove in front of the car which was climbing the hill this side of Oxford near North Haven.
 The animal which was pulling the ve- hicle was knocked down and caught un- derneath the fender of the car, which crushed 1t so badly that it died a few minutes later 1t is said that the negro jumped from the wagon when he say that collision was Inevitable and tore out across an open field on one side of the car line. Taking no heed in his precipi- tation of 8 wire fence which stood in his way he dashed into it with such violence that the high tension of the wire caused by his impetus lifted him clear off his feet and threw him a somersault. He landed on the other side, however,

PASSENGERS LOST
 FROM A LAUNCH

Key West, December 26.-A 45-foot launch with six passengers bound from Fort Myers to Havana, Cuba, struck the north jettiss near here and sank short y before midnight Sunday. A. J. Vim cent, c. o. Goehrlng and Matthew Baum. passengers in the boat, were rescued in the cabin of the boat after being out all night.
 NIT. and Mrs. Stuart Bennett of New York and Herman Parker were last seen elnging to the mast. A searching party has been sent out but have found no trace of the missing people.
 The schooner Pocahontas left Key West after the three men were rescued Tn search of the other members of the party but returned tonight without having found trace of them.
 The sea is running high and only part of the launch is visible. It is believed that MT. and Mrs. Bennett and Parker were drowned.
 The three rescued men had a trying ex- perience. They had just CT tered the cabin when the launch sank and did not have time to get oars The craft finally drifted to a barren key, where the men were picked up by a fisherman and brought to Key West at o'clock today.

REPORT OF MURDER
 PROVES TO BE UNTRUE

Oklahoma City. Okla, December 26.- Dr. R. L. Burns, who was reported Saturday night as having been mur- dered in his office in Hennepin, Okla. is alive in Seligman. Mo. This was shown by private telegrams from Burns to his brother in Davis. Okla. which were intercepted by the police today.
 The authorities in Hennepin reported Saturday night that Burns had been murdered Friday night after they had. they said. found bloodstains on the bed in his office where he slept. What appeared to be bloodstains along the public highway leading from the town convinced the officers that the supposed murderer had hauled his victims body away in a wagon.
 A posse was formed and bloodhounds were secured for 8 general search for the supposed murderer. Late Saturday night 1t was enormously reported that the body of the physician had been found.
 Burns was to have been tried last Saturday on the charge of feloniously assaulting blacksmith in Hennepin.

GUATEMALA GETS
 LOAN IN EUROPE

New Orleans. December 26.-That M. Juan Barrios. special envoy from Guate- mala to Germany, by way of Washing ton, who passed through this city yester- day, goes for the purpose of negotiating a s40,000.000 loan to be used in making improvements. is the statement made to a morning paper here by Prince Juan Bautista Ruffo, late of Messina, who made the trip on board the steamship Parissima with M. Barrios.
 Prince Ruffo was the only one aboard the ship who could speak the language of NJ. Barrios, and the two became friendly. The prince is quoted as saying;
 M. Barrios told me that the govern ments of Guatemala and Germany have practically closed the deal, and M. Bar rios is hurrying to Germany to appear before the commission before the session has gone too far into the new year. The Guatemaian government has been nego- tiating with several houses in New York for the loan. but failed on account of the high rate of interest" o
 Saturday M. Barrios denied that he was gong to Germany for any other purpose than to convey greetings.
 While in the city the Guatemalan en- voy had Prince Ruffo as his guest at a leading hotel.

Branded as a Traitor

Port-Au-Prince, Hayti. December 26-A government circular issued today and addressed to all the commanders of the army and public officials, brands Gen. Antenor Firmin, the Haytien minister to Great Britain, as traitor to his duties and his friends. and orders that he be prevented from landing on Haytien soil.
 Some time ago Firnin, who headed the revolt in 1902, left his post in London on the pretext that his salary had not been paid for six months. and later em- parked at Bordeaux for Hayti He will be due here next week at the time when the election of deputies is taking place, and as soon as President Simon became aware of his purpose. 1t was announced that he would not be allowed to re-enter the country at that time. It is probable that Firmin will stop at St. Thomas, D. w, l.

A great grain elevator which is to be built there by the government Is significant of tEe changes which are to take place in tho interior back of Prince Rupert which only a few years ago was un- mapped and practically unknown. ex- cept by trappers and mine prospecters.
 The salesmen for the "get-rich- quick"
 concerns and the mushroom insurance companies, for whom Chicago has been headquarters while they claimed New
 York as home, have suffered a rude jolt from the crimps put in the business of the concerns which they have helped to "hoat" They are already beginning to mourn for "the good old days" and those days certainly netted them hand somely, 5000 a week being nothing unusual for the smoothest of the tribe. The sums they made and the sums they spent, most of them spent at once, have not been generally realized. But now the legitimate concerns which
 have something substantial to sell on conservative commissions, are met by the fact that these salesmen, the geniuses of the salesman's craft, have been getting abnormal pay. They are spoiled. The secretary of a big and substantial concern said: "As for a force of salesmen, I find that Is mighty hard thing to get. The man wEo walks and talks. who heart-to to- hearts his winning way among pros pective subscribers. who puts the pen into their weakened digits at the psy- chological moment, and says irresis-
 tably, Sign right here"-he is the man
 who does the work. Yet he is few and
 far between and mighty hard to find. Why? The oil man and the mining man, the kind of men the postal people are now chasing so hard, they paid any old commission up to 80 and 10 and 10 and 10 per cent; they are gone, at least in part. can't pay 25 per cent, but that makes a fine living for a man who has not earned S0."

CHINESE CRISIS
 IS COOLING DOWN

Pekin, December 26.LThe throne has met the situation arising from the almost rebellious attitude of the national assem- bly, with hrmness and tact. It's refusal to create immediately ministry respon- sible to the assembly and to convoke forthwith a general parliament was fol- lowed with the issuance yesterday of an edict which though particularly nonecom- initial is interpreted as a call to the peo- pie for a programme providing ultimate ly for the establishment of constitution al cabinet.
 This is accepted by the progressives as an imperial pledge that their demands will be granted eventually and also at- forded the more belligerent delegates an opportunity to reconsider their radical &C., tion of Saturday when the national as- sembly adopted a defiant memorial deny- ing the right of the throne to reject their demands and bitterly assailing Prince Ching, one of the most powerful of the grand councillors.
 Today the assembly voted to withdraw the memorial In view of Sundays edict. It Is suspected, however, that the mem- bers were privately warned that the as- , sembly would be dissolved if the me- morial was presented to the throne.
 Another Government edict issued today eulogizes Prince Ching, declaring that his long experience has made him most val- uable to the empire in the present crisis and declines his resignation. offered for the second time because of the assem- blys attacks upon him.
 The government appears to have won the immediate issue, but 1t is believed the assembly will renew the fight unless the throne yields in due season.

The Real StrfngtOvU
From "The South In Fiction" Part I. B. Isaac F. Marcosson In the December Bookman.

trpnl "Ine Souin III tlcilOn, Fart l. By
 Isaac F. Marcosson in the December
 Bookman.
 As you proceed with a study of the real locality in Kentucky fiction you are im- pressed with the fact that no section of the commonwealth has escaped. Turn now, for example, to the stories of John Uri Lloyd, which are really succession of Invaluable folklore studies with per manent scientific and sociological value. Thousands of people who have spent all their lives in Cincinnati. Ohio, or in Gov ington and Newport Ky. do not realize that the real Stringtown is almost at their back doors. If you want to get the real atmosphere (and this includes the dust of that dear old highway'') take a carriage at Cincinnati some day and drive out ten miles to the drowsy village of Florence. in Boone county, and here you will find the sights and scenes of MT. Ioyd's very unusual book. It has less than hundred people, yet the whole re- zion is one of great historic tradition. Within stones throw of the pike is Bloody Hollow, which figures so dramati- cally In the story. It may be worth men, tioning here that the original of Reu Head, the picturesque mountain boy whom MT. Lloyd later made the hero of a special story came to Florence in his boyhood with the curse of the mountain vendetta about him. He attended school taught by MT. Lloyds father. who is the original of the Professor Drake in the Pike story. This mountain boy. on ac- count of the blood vengeance upon his family, was permitted to carry a revol- yer and this act remains today sort of tradition fin the Stringtown country.
 The scenes of Warwick of the Knobs are laid in the Big Bone section of Boone county, Kentucky. This, too, Is historical locality, for it was to this place that Gen. John Morgan, chief of the Kentucky raiders, was taken by his friends after his sensational escape from the Columbus prison. Here he remained until after the plan for taking him to the south was consummated There was an original for the old Hardshell Baptist preacher War wick, whose courage, faith and devotion made him a power and a force in the whole section.
