JONES SEVERELY
ARRAIGNS TARIFF
Predicts Democratic House-Re-
publicans Name Delegates
to Convention.
Especial to The Times Dispatch.


Lancaster, Va, September 2L--The
crowd attending the first day OF the
September torn OF Lancaster Circuit
Court was larger than usual. In the
afternoon theAcourthouse was vacated
by Judge Wright to enable the people
TO hear a speech from Hon. William A.
Jones. who for twenty years has rep
resented this district in the House OF
Representatives. Mr.. Jones was intro
duced by Frank G. Newbill. chairmay
of the county committee, and proceeded
to make a strong though temperate
speech, In which he arraigned the ex-
listing tariff as the cause of high prices
and other evils now affecting the coun-
try. He also arraigned the meth
DDS of Speaker Cannon, and while
according to .SColonel Roosevelt
the credit OF having accom-
plished much good for the people OF this
country, expressed the opinion that
he was now actuated by motives OF
personal ambition, and IL elevated to
the presidency again would prove to
be the most dangerous man that had
ever filled that position.
Mr.. Jones spoke kindly of President
Taft who, he said had been placed in
an unenviable position by the failure
of his party leaders to keep faith with
the people. He did not hesitate TO de-
nounce as traitors to the faith those
Democratic Congressman who had pre-
vented tile reinforcement Of Speaker
Cannon and had aided the Republicans
in enacting the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. He drew vivid picture OF the
insurgency now prevailing in the ranks
OF the Republican party and the spirit
OF political independence manifestins
itself in the Democratic party in GER
tain sections.
In concluding his speech Mr.. Jones
thanked his constituency for the gem
erous support and unfailing loyalty
during his long service in Congress, ana
predicted that the next House Of Rep
resentatfyes would have a Democratic
majority OF more than 100.
The Republicans OF the county met
here on court day and appointed the
following delegates to the First Dis
trict convention, which will meet in
Fredericksburg on September 81 when

going west and the other east, passed
each other about one mile from Low
Moor, and while gliding along on sep
arate tracks, an empty coal car In the
westbound train Jumped the track and
sideswiped the eastbound train. In
the twinkling OF an eye seventeen
loaded and empty coal cars were piled
in heap, both tracks torn up for some
distance, and the right OF way VERT
table coal mine.
On one side of the railroad where
the accident occurred there is a steep
embankment, leading down to the
county road and on the opposite side
an incline leading up to a mountain.
Three cars went down into the county
road. while the remaining fourteen were
twisted into all kinds OF shapes and
left in as many different positions, some
on the roadbed and others pushed over
against the mountain side Several of
the heavy steel rails were bant into
numerous shapes. Fortunately no one
was injured All morning passenger
trains had to transfer at the scene OF

Government agents continued their

have acquired thousands of guns and

The iails are full to overfiowing, and
