Cancels His Proposed Trip to Attend

Inmates That Senate Must Approve
House Measure or Stay in Session
Until Observation-Disclosures 1T Would
Be Infamous to Permit Bill to Fail.
Washington, June 22.-President
Taft resurrected the Roosevelt big
stick and served notice on the lead
ers of the senate that he would insist
on the passage of the house postal
savings bank bill or hold congress in
session until December. AS an evil

tending the Yale graduation exercises,
and sat back in his chair to await
developments.
The presidents determination to- get
his back up and fight for the postal
bank bill passed by the house was
reached after word had come to him
from reliable sources that some of his
own confessed friends in the senate
were encouraging the filibusterers
against the measure to take their time
in opposing the bill while they, in
turn, minated that they would re-
main silent. 1t was hoped that out of
this situation some insurmountable OBJ
stacle to the passage of the house
bill would arise, which would result in
sending the postal bank legislation to
conference where a dozen senators
were ready to pounce upon it and in
sert special privilege amendments ga
lore.
Keeps Faith With P~rogressives.
To his senatorial callers, which in
cluded Senators Crane, Lodge and FL
kins, President Taft let it be known
that he proposed to keep faith with
the combined regular and progressive
Republican strength in the house,
which together, under the leadership
of Representatives Weeks and Muir
dock, had brought forth the house bill
out of the -st Republican house eau
Gus of the session and had it passed
under the first Republican special rule
of the session. He told them the SEN
ate bill contained special privileges
to the banks, and, in addition, that
the fundamentals of the senate bill
were not b; ed on sound banking prin-
ciples.
ut would be infamous for the adj
ministration TO wobble on this bill at
this juncture and the president will
not discuss the question of sending
the house bill to conference" was the
way the situation was put by the close
friend of the administration.
The president went even farther in
his argument. He called attention
to the fact that the house postal bank
bill could not again be put through
the house by the same vote by which
1t originally passed that body.

FINANCIAL MARKET
BULL DAY IN STOCKS.
Clearing House Statement
Shoes Further additions to
Bank Reserves.

Stock market operations were moder-
ately heavy in volume in the two hours
of business with the general movement
of prices in the direction of higher
levels. Maximum advances OF from l to
points were recorded by the leading
active issues, Reading. United States
Steel and Union Pacific leading in point
OF strength. while they also contributed
the most extensive dealings, and with
Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania sup
piled more than one-half of the transac-
tions in all shares. Buying for short
account and actual cash purchases were
the chief factors in the advance. and
though there was some professional
pressure before the close final figures
showed net gains IN most parts Of the
list, while speculative sentiment ap-
peared to be favorably impressed with
the outlook for higher prices in this
weeks market Prices may be infiu-
enced to some degree in the course Of
the next few days by the extent Of the
losses in the Paris floods, which may
compel the withdrawal of considera BILE
amount of French capital invested
abroad and result in a flow Of gold from
this centre. Local liquidation of spec
ulative accounts appears to have run its
course for the moment, and some OBJ
servers are predicting the development
at no remote period Of another bull mar
ket despite the fact that certain inter
ests continue TO preach lower prices.
The market is now in a position to re-
feet outside conditions, which certainly
are not in favor of the bears. NeVerthe-
less there are few uncertainties in the
situation that suggest buying for cash

Money is easy and doubtless will re-
main so for the next few weeks, as even

bank holdings to reduce reserves to a

tations for loans. A better price for
money is looked for, however, in the
early spring. In yesterdays statement

House presented a reduction in the loan
item of almost s7,000,0O0 Apparently
the banks were compelled to lend ex-
tensively to interests who came into the
stock market to support prices against

in actual cash resources the expansion
in loans was not large AS a result of

FROM AMBUSH
MILTON NAN SPRINGS AND CUTS HIS
WIFES THROAT.

Milton, W. Va. May 7.-while re-
turning from church Thursday night
in the vicinity of Cooper school house
near this place, Mrs. Mccormack was
assailed from behind by her former
husband, Noah Mccormack. and her
throat cut from ear to ear. She can
not recover.
With the cry, here is where you
de-" the man dashed from a clump
of bushes along the road side and
grasping the woman around the waist,
slashed his victim several times.
Striking match the man flashed it
in the woman face, and turning to
his sister who accompanied him said,
shes dead" He then forcibly
took a ring from the hand Of his SIS
ter and Place it on the supposedly
dead woman'a 6nger, 1T the same
time stating he wapted her to be
buried with ring on her finger.
His sister notified family by the
name of Rose living near and the
woman was taken to their home.
The affair is the outcome of di-
vorce and came as a surprise and
shock to every one in this section
owing to the fact that the parties
concerned are both of good families
and are well known. Mrs. McCor-
mack is the daughter of William Il.
Templeton, a well known Cabell coun-
ty man.
1t is said that the sister begged the
man not to molest the woman and
tried by force to keep him from as
sailing her, but it is supposed that
his mind was Temporarily deranged
at the time of the dastardly act.
McCormak has not yet been caught
but Monday night he was seen
by parties looking in the window
where the woman is lying in diving
condition. Feeling against him is
bitter.

CROP HALF MILLION
VAST SUN PAID TO TOBACCO CROW
ERS IN THIS DISTRICT.

That West Virginia and especially
the counties of Putnam, Lincoln,
Mason and Cabell is rapidly coming to
the front as in hurley tobacco growing
industry is evidenced by the following
figures that have been secured from
the warehouse of the American To-
bacco company at Hurricane.
The total amount paid to farmers
of this section for tobacco the past
season was S4S2 900. This amount
was disbursed by W. p. Boyd, man
ager of the warehouse at Hurricane,
and represents the proceeds of the
sale of approximately three and one
half million pounds of the weed.
The greater part of this tobacco
was grown in the counties of Putnam
and Lincoln, Putnam county carry
ing off the honors both as to amount
and quality of the tobacco delivered
at the Hurricane warehouse.
Mr.. Boyd has been manager
at Hurricane for many years,
and besides being very popular among
the tobacco growers, he is probably
the most expert Judge of the crop in
this state. His estimate made last
fall of the number of pounds of to-
bacco produced in his territory varied
only 500 pounds from the actual scale
weight as shown by the totals of all
purchases at the Hurricane ware
house.

HAYMANS STORE ROBBED.

viii Hayman's store at Flat Rock,
under the management of Hugh
Daugherty, was robbed one night
last week. The thieves broke into
Pullin's blacksmith, shop robbins
his cash drawer of three dollars, and
taking the tools which they broke in
to Mr.. Hayman's store. They got
several pairs of men, women and
childrens shoes, box of eye glasses,
box of underwear, and other small
articles. 1t is thought that the rob-
berry was committed by local parties
as it was evidentally done by some
one familiar with the interior of both
the blacksmith shop and store.
