TWO DROP 100 FEET
AND BURN TO DEATH
MOTHER AND BOY CREMATED
UNDER WAGON
Widow and Child Meet Horrible Fate
When Vehicle Containing Stove
PIunges Down Precipice
in Texas

DALHART, Tex, Jan. 28.-Plunging
100 feet to the bottom of Blanco canyon
to be burned to crisp amid the debris
of a. wagon was the fate of Mrs. S. r.
Break, a widow, and her 1-year-old
child, yesterday near the little town of
Floydada.
Mrs. Break was moving across the
country in a wagon loaded with her
household goods, and not being an ex-
pert driver, she let the team get too
close to the brink Of the canyon.
At this moment her dog ran yelping
down the road and frightened the
horses In refining them too quickly
the woman caused them to rear and
back the heavy wagon over the preci-
pice.
The wagon with it's helpless passen-
gers plunged backward over the abyss,
the stove was overturned and before
the struggling human beings and horses
could extricate themselves from the
wreckage the whole mass was in flames
at the bottom of the canyon.
To add to the horror, large can OF
gasoline in the wagon exploded ana
hastened the destruction by the flames.
The tragedy was witnessed by
ranchman who was on the other side or
the canyon, and although he hurried to
the scene, it was hours before he could
reach the victims, as he had to go miles
to find a trail leading into the canyon.
He found the charred remains of the
mother and child, the latter clasped to
the mothers breast. The woman's arms
had been broken in several places.

LIFE INSURANCE
SCANDAL PROBED
Attorney Says Thehy Are Finding
Numerous Instances of Writ
ing Graveyard ln-
surance"
ASSOCIATED Press1

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 2S.-Insur-
ance Commissioner Charles w. Bell to-
day held conference with four presi-
dents of life insurance companies that
have been losers in the alleged swind-
ling schemes practiced in Louisville by
insurance solicitors.
AS a result the state of Kentucky
may take legal action against two in
surance companies for operating in
Kentucky without licenses. They are
the Indiana National Life Insurance
company of Indianapolis and the Com
mercial Life Insurance company of In
dianapolis.
Representatives of these companies
who have come to Louisville to confer
with Commissioner Bell say their bus-
ness is legal because they wrote all
their Kentucky business in New AL
bany, Ind, across the river from Louis
vile.
Burt S. New, legal representative of
Governor Marshall of Indiana, is here
investigating the insurance scandal, to
learn, it is believed, whether the In
diana companies have been operating
unlawfully.
Although no more arrests were made
today, attorneys for the insurance COM
panies say they are finding numerous
other instances in which the three Lou
isville solicitors under arrest-Keane,
O'J4eary and Needham-wrote grave
yard insurance.

RED CROSS ASKS FOR
CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID
OF FLOOD SUFFERERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Ameri-
can Red Cross society having been no
titled today by Robert Bacon, American
ambassador in Paris, that contributions
from this country to aid the flood suf-
ferers in France would be acceptable,
tonight issued the following appeal to
the American public:
1.-THE Red Cross hereby appeals to the
people of the United States to contrib
ute with their characteristic generosity
to the relief of our neighbors whose
misfortune calls for our substantial
sympathy, a sympathy deeper because
of the traditional friendship between
the people of France and this country.
Contributions for this purpose sent to
Charles D. Norton, treasurer of the Red
Cross, Washington, ID. c., will be for
warded promptly by cable through the
American ambassador"
The cable from Mr.. Bacon confirms
previous dispatches from Paris to the
effect that no Americans, so far as is
known, have been injured by the flood,
although some. among them the am
bassador himself, have been obliged to
leave their homes and seek new quar-

EXPERIMENT
Honey Makers Brought to California

prove Their reducing
Ability
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 2S.-An
experiment that may result in the
reVolutionizing of the bee business OF
the southwest is now being conducted
by e. N. Miller, a leading apiarist of
Utah. Mr.. Miller has brought to the
San Bernardino valley a carload OF
bees, for the winter in Southern Cali
fornia. In the spring they will again
be returned to Utah. Three carloads
of stands of bees have been shipped by
Mr. Miller one car arriving yesterday
at Cotton where they We're unloaded.
owing to the severe winters of Utah
the bees do not thrive as they do in
Southern California and Mr.. Miller has
arrived at the decision that they can
annually be transferred here, avoiding
the ice and snow, and in the spring
again be returned to their hauntS in
Utah.
The bees which arrived yesterday
were on the road for five weeks, it be-
ing necessary, owing to the washouts
on the Salt Lake to divert them via
San Francisco.
To prevent the spread of foul brood
or other diseases, each hive was close
ly inspected by County Bee inspector
Heron as they were unloaded.
Bee men all over Southern California,
and also Utah, are watching the ex-
periments of Mr.. Miller, who believes
that he has solved the drawback to
bee culture in Utah. Last year Mr..
Miller brought 1900 stands here and
successfully returned them to Utah
after the winter months.

IS CHAMPIONED
WADE ELLIS DEFENDS ACTS
OF PRESIDENT
EXPLAINS SOME OF MYSTERIES
OF ADMINISTRATION
Assistant Attorney General Warns
Tippeca~-' Club to Pay No
Attem IN to Insurgents
or Standpatters

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 2S.--Wade Fl.
Ellis, assistant to the attorney gem
eFal and an old friend and neighbor
of President Taft when the latter lived
in Cincinnati, tonight arose at a ban
quet of the Tippecanoe club to eX-
plain the viewpoint of an administra
tion man on administration policies
and present day events.
PAY no heed to the so-called in
surgents on the one hand, or to the
so-calIed stand-patters on the other
said Mr.. Ellis. Take no counsel from
those who defend Cannonism or Aid
richism to the right of you, or to those
who would emphasize the program OF
La Toilette or magnify the Pinehet in
cident, to the left of you.
Get in the middle of the road and
stand shoulder to shoulder for the per-
Torrance of the party's pledges to the
people under the leadership of William
H. Taft
After declaring that the majority
leaders in congress are rallying to the
president, Mr.. Ellis continued:
"What are the Roosevelt policies?
Is Taft for them or against them
What were the promises of the last
Republican platform? Is Taft keeping
them or breaking them? Let us judge
him by his works.
"First and foremost of the Roosevelt
policies is the enforcement of the law
Has the president faltered or flickered
in that duty? The country did not ex-
pect blind, indiscriminate drive at
wealth simply because it is wealth"
Mr.. Ellis cited the cases of John r.
Walsh and Charles w. Morse to prove
that 1.-The man higher up" is not being
shielded by this administration.
He instanced the savings bank law
economy in public service, protection
of those engaged in hazardous callings
issuance of injunetions by federal
courts and publication of campaign
expenses.
Mr. Ellis concluded: with this
record of fidelity and achievement, is
there any Republican tonight who must
apologize to his pride or to his con
science for the faith that is in him2
When this record is known and de-
bated. is there any danger that the
American people will withhold their
verdict Of well done'?"

now directed to keeping the bridges
free of driftwood.
Men with ropes fastened about their
bodies are lowered over the sides of
the bridges into the freezing water to
further this work.
Red Cross ambulances go changing
through the streets. Soldiers are re-
placing the police for sentinel duty
giving the city the appearance of being
in a state of seige.
Offers of aid are pouring in from the
outside but as yet the government has
made no official announcement as to
whether such gifts would be accept
able.
Both the government and the NUM-
cipal administration have decided to
adopt strong measures to prevent shop
keepers from unduly raising the price
of food, but as the climax is reached
the authorities appear to be concerned
with what may follow even more than
with the present situation.
1t is feared that peStilence viii come
after the flood and arrangements are
being perfected to insure the prompt
disinfection and cleaning of the city
as soon as the waters subside.
Charenton Appeals
A touching evidence of the conditions
above the city came today in the shape
of an urgent appeal from Charenton for
food and clothing for 1000 babies res
cued at Aifortyille and Ivry, who have
been without proper clothing for four
days.
The engine room of the paper mills
at Fssones, near Corbeill in Seine-et-
Disc is flooded, and as the mills there
supply a good deal of the paper used
by the Paris newspapers the publica-
tions in the metropolis are in danger
of having their supply cut off. The
danger is augmented by the difficulty
of transporting the paper to Paris.
The water is filtering into the cal
lars of the central telegraph building
in the Rue de Grenelle. The water is
twelve feet deep in the engine room
and many cables have been submerged
and paralyzed.
The boulevard st. German is flooded
from the quay to the doors of the min
istry of public works and the water is
at the doors of the ministry of war.
French stocks averaged loss of
80 francs the last week. The subway

Madrz and Estrada Forces Reported
to Have CIashed Near La

Losses

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-An official
telegram to the state department from
Managua says that it is rumored that
a battle has been fought between the
Madriz and Estrada forces near La
Libertad, with heavy losses Consul
Oliyares, at Managua, reports that the
consular messenger carrying dispatches
from Managua to Admiral kimball at

commandant of the port of Corinto. On
several occasions he has met with
threats and rough treatment.

the parties tonight is as follows:
Unionists, 264
Liberals. 263,
Laborites, 40.
Nationalists. ~
Now that the electoral struggle is on
the point of closing, the curious effect
is seen of both conflicting parties claim
ing victory and both basing their claim
with plausible arguments, broadly
speaking, on the question OF tfee tfaue
against protection.
1t cannot be said that the elections
have decided anything, and it is diff
cult to Judge whether the country as
whole is tending one way or the other
According to contentious of Liberals,
industrial communities have decided to
adhere to free trade, and all that re-
mains for them to do is to complete
the conversion of the agricultural pop
ulation.
According to Conservatives the edu-
cation of the people is proceeding at a
great pace, and it is only a question of
time until the Chamberlain party Will
be triumphant.
The Spectator contends that had tar
iff reformers abandoned all idea of tax
ing food and confined their policy TO
the taxation of manufactured imports,
the Liberals would have been over
thrown.
AS to the immediate course of busl-
ness, it seems generally agreed that
unless the Nationalists offer serious op-
position Chancellor Lloyd-George's
budget. as it left the last house of COM
mons, will again be sent up to the lords,
who this time will accept it. Any mod
ifcations of it's provisions will be left
for the next budget.
