Chicago, July 5.-From all quarters
of the country last night came reports
indicating that the rational Fourth
movement was widespread in it's OBJ
servance.
In Chicago one death was reported
during the day-a sacrifice to a stray
bullet. Returns from outside showed
IL victims of sporadic manifestations
of the old noisy Fourth with its dyna-
mite and its toy pistols and its car
mage. With the deaths reported previ-
ously, the total sacrifice of life during
the two days celebration ran up to IS.
Ground for JubiIatiOn.
When compared with the figures of
former years this years neurology gives
great gro#ad- for ~55ubfiattor: One year
ago the total deaths that had been
reported by July 6 was 155. as COM
pared with IS this year. Two years
ago, in 1908, the list of the killed num-
bered 70.
The tables of the injured tell a sim
liar tale of the safety and sanity of
yesterdays celebrations. The total in
jured throughout the country reported
was 743. One year ago the number
tabulated on July 6, after the three
days of celebrating, was 2,3S7. Two
years ago the number reported July
was 2,43S.
Old Order Giving Out.
Dispatches show that the old-fash-
ioned Fourth. with its death and dis
aster, its din and discomfort, is rapid
ly going out of vogue. In st. Louis no
deaths were reported and only 10 per-
sons were injured. In Los Angeles
sanity reigned. No deaths were re-
ported and no accidents From Provi-
dence. r. l., came word that Rhode
Island had spent the quietest Fourth
recalled by the oldest inhabitant
Whenever a celebrant appeared with a
firearm he was nabbed by the police
and his weapon confiscated. Stringent
enforcement of anti-noise rules made
the day one of quietude. In Provi-
dence there were no deaths and only

Vermont had a similar experience.

In New York it was the same The
first rational Fourth in the history of
Gotham passed with not single death,
with but little noise and with an in
significant number of accidents.
In the fire loss of the day the story
is told again. Up to midnight the loss
by conflagration reported throughout
the country aggregated $194,420. A
year ago the fire loss for the three
days of celebrating amounted to $S53,-
$50, the loss on the 5th of July, the
day of the big celebrating, being S515,-

m COLLEGE at Our Doors.

Every state in the Union has in op-
Grafton a large and expensive edu-
cational plant of high and normal
school buildings which are in use
not more than 40 per cent of thei;
possible working efficiency, says the
Technical World.
Every state has also a large and
constant number of young men and
women who are debarred from the
colleges either because they cannot
afford the expense of a college edu-
cation or because circumstances
make it out of the question for them
to leave home for that purpose.
This question, which rather re-
verses the ancient story of Mahomet
and the mountain, represents an en-
tirely new idea in education. 1t is
to be tried out in Massachusetts
beginning on a comparatively small
scale next autumn, and will un-
doubtedly be tried out thoroughly

project proves successful in the long
run, Massachusetts College, recently

Burton Replies to Cox.

Cleveland O., July 3O.-Replying
to a statement in a Cicinnati news
paper, quoting Boss" George B.
Cox as referring to him as a pin
head, and a rusty one at that" Sena-
tor Burton today declared that Cox
did not know how to talk about gel-
tlemen.
''It is time the people of Ohio re-
fused to submit to the tactics of a
man of Cox's character" said Burton,
with some heat. 1T is abvious that
Cox is bitterly disappointed and cha
grined at his failure to nominate his
own candidate for governor. He is
venting his anger and spite on every
body who refuses to take orders.
Referring to the charge that l
broke my promise to him, would say
that Cox does not know how to talk
to a gentleman and cannot seem to
speak plain language of one"
Burton and Cox took part in a con-
ference at which a number of leaders
of the regular Republicans Joined be-
fore the state convention at Columbus
convened. 1t is presumed that the al
legged promise was made at this con-
ference.

FISH MORE

Santa Barbara, Cal, July 30,-lf a
man were a fish he wouldn't be
classed among the game ones, ac-
cording to Frank Garbutt, of Los
Angeles, who is cruising from San
Pedro to San Francisco in his yacht
Garbutts opinion is based on a
test struggle with Frank Harrison,
of San Francisco. Harrison, six
feet tall and weighing IT'S pounds,
permitted Garbutt to fasten a nine
strand fish line to his belt and at
tempted to land him with a nine
ounce rod. Harrison is an expert
swimmer, and before Garbutt could
stop his first rush the man-fsh had
run out so feet of line.
Despite his struggles, however, af-

but within II minutes was brought to
gaff. Garbutt claims a yellow-tail
weighing one-third as much would
have resisted an hour.

IS TROUBLE
IN RANKS OF
YOUNG REPS
DIFFERENT VIEWS ARE ENTER
TANNED AS TO CORRECT ATTI-
TUDE OF YOUNG MEMS RE-
PUBLICAN CLUB, AS AN Or
GANIZATION TOWARD PARTY
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.

Because of the prevalence of the
impression that the assembly rally
held at Marion square Wednesday ev-
ening was held under the auspices of
the Young Mems Republican Club, Of
this city, and because of the further
fact that Carl Abrams, candidate for
the house of representatives on the
assembly ticket, continues, in spite
of that candidacy, to remain as pres
ident of that organization, dissen-
sion has broken out among it's mem
bers which threatens to undermine
the very foundation of the club.
The club came into existence about
two years ago, and during the last
election it did effective work for the
Republican ticket. Its purposes and
objects, according to it's constitution
at least so it is said--is to remain
neutral as to candidates prior to the
primaries, and then, after them, whip
into line and work for the ticket NOM
mated.
The impression generally prevails
that the assembly rally held Wednes
day evening, and at which assembly
candidates, including Acting Cover
nor, were introduced to the public,
was held under the auspices of the
club. That, it is contended, was in
direct violation of the clubs constitu-
tion, and it is one of the causes for
the insurrection within it's ranks.
Another cause of dissension is the
fact that Abrams continues to remain
president of the organization. Hal
Patton was the clubs first president,
and when he was nominated for the
legislature, realizing that his candi |
dacy might embarrass the club as to
It's neutrality as to candidates before
The primaries, he resigned, and L. c. |
Stringer was elected as his successor.
Stringer moved away, and Abrams
was elected in his stead. 1t is now
by members of the club |
hat Mr.. Abrams should follow in the |
footsteps of Patton, and resign, so
that the club might not be embar-
rassed by the fact that he is a can
iidate.
The club, it is understood, will !
have a meeting in the near future,
and the trouble will probably then be
threshed out.

marks would indicate whether he
