1900 IN SHIP FIRE PERIL
Four Dead, Number Seriously Injured
and 400 Slightly Hurt-Result OF
Burning of Excursion Steamer.

La Crosse, Wis.-Four persons are
dead, a number seriously injured and
about 400 slightly burned in attempt
ing to escape from the burning hulk of
the excursion steamer ]. s., with 1,500
passengers aboard, which caught fire
Saturday night in the Mississippi river
Is miles south Of here.
The story of the rescue as told is
that the steamer, when It finally
reached Bad AK island, where the pas
sengers were able to escape ashore,
was burning so fiercely that only 200
of the $500 aboard we're able to go
ashore on the gangplank. The other
1900 or 1900 passengers were forced
to leap over the rail into water four or
five feet deep and wade ashore, suf-
fering terribly until they were able to
reach the main land.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against
the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company Fails.

Berlin-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
of the Standard Oil company-the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved
A well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such a series of
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS" alleged to have been practised
by the vacuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
public prosecutor of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inves-
tigatiOn with view to eventual in
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
OF the work of E. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
pany's sales department, and an
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire in
quiry will be borne by the state.
The result of the investigation con-
stitutes a notable triumph for Amer
lean interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Germans,
finding themselves unable to compete
with Americans on ordinary terms,
have resorted to SANDER.

GOV. HARMON RENOMINATED
Plan to Pledge Candidate for Senate
Defeated In Ohio Democratic
Convention.

Dayton, O.-The following resolu.
ton, indorsing Gov. Judson Harmon
for the presidency in 1912, was adopt
ed by the Ohio Democratic conven-
ton after the denomination Of Mr..
Harmon for governor by reclamation:
I'VE invite the attention of the ma
ton to Judson Harmon and lhe work
he is doing for Ohio. Two years hence
it will have been completed, then we
can spare him for larger duties. He
believes that guilt is personals act
ing on that belief at home and would
act upon it in larger fields. A high
sense of duty provides his only mo-
tives for official actions and his sense
of justice alone compels judgment.
Firmness and strength mark him the
man to supplant vacillation and weak
ness. The nation needs a real man,
and the Ohio Democracy here presents
and indorses for the presidency in
1912 Judson Harmon"
Atlee Pomerene of Canton was NOM
mated for lieutenant governor on the
second ballot and the vote was made
unanimous without finishing the roll
call.
The proposition to indorse a candi-
date for United States senator was de-
feated by a vote of $40 to 254.

lands QUASHES INDICTMENT
FREES NATIONAL PACKING COM
PANY AND SUBSIDIARY FIRMS.
Sustains Demurrer on Technical
Grounds-Orders Special Grand
Jury for New Hearing.

Chicago.-The indictment against
the National Packing company and it's
ten subsidiary concerns charging them
with conspiracy to restrain trade in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, was knocked out Thursday when
Judge Keneshaw M Lands in the
United States district court sustained
the demurrer filed against the indict-
ment by the so-called beef trust.
A special venire of seventy-tive men
was ordered called for July IA. From
this venire a grand jury will be drawn
and a second investigation OF the
packing companies begun.
In his decision sustaining the de-
murrer to the government indictment
Judge Lands said:
"The most painstaking search OF
this indictment fails to disclose the
presence of a charge that during the
statutory period the defendants have
engaged in, or had anything to do
with interstate commerce, or that
they done anything having any effect
upon such commerce, and the court is
not clothed with authority to supply,
entirely by inference, the complete
omission of such a fundamental ele-
ment of the offense.
''This fatal weakness might have
been obviated by including the charge,
had the evidence warranted it, that
the defendants, or their respective Of
ficers or agents, did something, as,
for instance, fixed prices, controlled
output, divided territory, or the like,
which effected a restraint of inter-
state commerce being carried on
within the three years period.
"The general averment that the de-
PENDANTS engaged in a combination in
restraint of interstate trade is, of
course, a mere conclusion, and there
fore insufficient. The demurrer must
be sustained"

SAY CHARLTON is INSANE
AIienists Who Examined Wife Murs
derer Declare He Is Irrespon-
sibIe for His Acts.

New York.-Porter Charlton, self
confessed slayer of his wife, Mrs.
Mary Castle Charlton, whose body,
stuffed in a trunk he tossed into Lake
Como, Italy, may escape punishment
for his crime.
Powerful influences were put at
work Friday to save the prisoner, now
locked up in the Hudson county jail
at Jersey City, from being extradited
to Italy.
Judge Charlton, the murderer's ia
Their, consulted with r. Floyd Clarke
of this city and former Senator Will
liam D. Edwards of Jersey City, whom
he retained on Thursday after getting
word at Washington of the arrest of
his son as he stepped from the steam
er Princess Irene at Hoboken. At
this conference it was decided to fight
the extradition proceedings urged by
the Italian charge d'affaires in cable
gram to his government at Rome.
The murderer's counsel have de-
termined upon defense of insanity
to keep him from being removed from
this country. Four alienists visited
Charlton in his cell and watched him
for five hours. When they emerged
they said that he is without doubt
insane and that his particular species
of insanity is incurable.

REGULATING THE USE OF ARMS.

That is an interesting and sug.
gestive proposal which has been made
at Albany-to legislate against the
common use and even ownership OF
the ingenious device which has been
Invented for silencing the noise of fire.
arms, says New York Tribune. That
device is said to be so effective as to
make the discharge of a rife or pis-
tol nearly noiseless, without decreas-
ing the lethal effectiveness of the
weapon. 1T is easily conceivable that
such an attachment to military fire.
arms would be of inestimable advan-
tage in warfare, a noiseless rife using
smokeless powder giving practically no
information as to the location of its
user. But it is obvious that precisely
the same thing would make a gun or
a pistol far more dangerous tool for
IL, Use of assassins. 1t may, indeed,
be said that there is no legitimate use
for e silencing device, save in mill
tary doings and in actual war. IL we
grant that citizens now and then need
to use firearms against burglars, high
waymen and others it should be OBJ
Yious that the most desirable and
most effective arm for such purposes
his handicap and hurry. People are
gett' E happier, if they are not getting
heller, and the former is GOO omen
of the latter. They have plenty Of
tine to work at that that is worth
while, or even to play, and it is one of
the wholesome indications of a healthy
life that people in this country play
as hard as they work. But business
and pleasure have turned their backs
upon the knocker, setting their faces
to brighter skies. So If you are at
outs with somebody settle the matter
with him; do not bother me with 1t.
That is the answer of the world to-
day, a good one, too. Even in sports
this wholesome spirit prevails; in
deed it dominates there perhaps more
than anywhere else. 1t takes the form
0f intolerance, it is so pronounced. 1t
is the spirit of manly age, a big age
and fast, too big and fast to slow up
for the little fellow.

POSTAL BANK BILL PASSED
TAFT'S "BIG STICK" POLICY
BRINGS SENATE TO TERMS.
DisposaNof the Deposits Was the Main
Issue on Which Senators
Clashed.

shington.-I.acking only the sig.
nature of President Taft to become
law, the final step toward postal sa-
wings was taken Wednesday when the
senate concurred in the house postal
savings bank after voting down a
number of amendments.
President Taft's action in assuming
"big-stick policy is regarded as
having made the vote a certainty.
The vote was "A to 25. The bill now
goes to President Taft without a con-
ference.
On the main issue of the legislation
relating to the disposal of deposits in
postal banks the house bill concurred
in by the senate provides that 65 per
cent. may be redeposited in the local
banks and 80 per cent may be used
for the purchase of bonds backed by
the taxing power of the national gov
eminent. There Is nothing arbitrary
about either of these provisions, how
ever Five per cent. of the deposits
VIII be retained as a reserve fund.
AS security for deposits in local
banks, bonds backed by national, state
and municipal government and other
securities approved by the trustees
may be used.
Inc house bill creates a board OF
trustees consisting of the postmaster
general, the secretary Of the treasury
and the attorney general, who are
vested with discrimination in the adj
ministration of the system, including
the designation of post offices as
postal-savings banks.
Deposits in these banks by one per-
son shall not extend more than $500
a month, or total of $500, on which
interest shall be paid at the rate of
two per cent. year. An account may
be opened with one dollar, but stamps
may be purchased in the denomina-
ton of ten cents for those desiring to-
accumulate money to be deposited.
AT the request of the depositor gov
eminent bonds in amount of $40, $40,
$50, $50, 500 and $500 may be pur-
chased with his deposit, the bonds to
bear interest at 2A per cent. These
bonds will cover a refunding of the
$64,0OO,OOO of three per cent. govern
ment bonds outstanding and a new is
sue of Panama canal bonds. The
banks will be required to pay "a per
cent. interest on postal-bank funds de-
posted with them.

Practical jokes often are in very
bad taste and not at all as funny az
their perpetrators seem to think. Some
times such jokes invite legal punish
ment. Down in Panama a party of
would-be humorists circulated the
story that seismologists had predicted
that the country would be visited in
the night by a great shock and that
Colon would be wiped out of existence
by tidal wave. Coming on the heels
of tn Costa Rican cataclysm, this
prophecy threw the ignorant and SUI
perstitious into terror, and there was
something OF panic. OF course the
commissions did not occur But the
Panama authorities took the matter in
hand and the jollers are now in Jail
awaiting the result of proceedings that
will be brought against them. And If
these humorists get a round sentence
the general verdict will be that it
served them right.
