lest machinery can be safely installed

capable of carrying 1000 pounds.
Every workroom has its own emer-
gency iron stairway In case Of IRE or
other accident. There Is an abundance
of lavatory and toilet room accommo-
dation. The window easements are OF
metal, with a gutter at the bottom to
carry on the steam from the glass.
There is a plentiful water supply and
capital ventilation. The basement
dwellings are protected against damp

heat and cold.
Special facilities are provided for
] furnishing tenants with electricity OF

A chauffeur In New York who killed

The epdangering of life by the speed

The peril which attends travel
through some of the Alpine passes Is
indicated by tragedy which involved
the death of six men who were on
their way to Italy from Switzerland.
They were smugglers. and their
course lay through the Forcola Pass.
One of the party gave shout of fare

this brought down vast body Of

PROPHETS WITHOUT HONOR.

In this age of skepticism, when ma
tives of the state Of Missouri seem TO
be surprisingly numerous and the prin-
ciple of seeing is believing" has been
carried to extremes, the professional
prophets who issue almanacs OF prog
nostication have enjoyed a peculiar
immunity. Every year the credulous
and superstitious hasten to buy their
publications and to marvel at the
wide range of predictions which they
comprise. While the circulation OF
these almanacs is more extensive In
Great Britain than in this country, 1t
is not gratifying to our national pride
to learn that 100000 copies are pre-
pared annually for American consump
ton. But even at this late day some
of the dupes are getting wise and
beginning to check up the prophets

MARYLAND ABSOLUTELY
DISTINGUISHES NEGRO

Washington. April 5.-The passage
of an act by the legislature of Mary
land to disfranchise the negroes by re
fusing them the right to register is
regarded by members Of congress as
the most extreme of any acts taken by
the southern states against negro suf-
frage.
There is no action congress can
take in the matter" Senator Warner
said today, 'and / don't know that
anyone wishes to take any action, but
the federal courts viii, I suppose, pre-
vent the total Acknowledgement pur-
posed in that act. It is clearly in Yio-
lation Of the federal constitution.
'Most of the southern states that
have barred the negro from voting
have used some sort ot subterfuge. but
the Maryland people have adopted
nothing resembling aabterfuge. Their
law goes straight to the point and
raises an issue involving the consti
tuition I do not believe they can sus
tain their position as a matter Of law
bat the matter must be fought out in
the courts. Congress has nothing to
do with it in its present situation.

COMMISSION WILL
GIVE SQUARE DEAL
Sees No Further Reason for Allowing
Railroads to Collect Excess Fares
From Persons Not Buying
Tickets.

Guthrie, Okla, April 5.-One of the
proofs of the desire of the corporation
commission to be entirely fair with
the railroad companies in connection
with the enforcement of the two cent
fare provision Of the constitution, was
the order issued soon after the two
cent rate went into effect permitting
the railroads to collect excess fare
from persons boarding trains without
tickets. 1t Lad developed that many
passengers, figuring that they could
not be charged more than two cents
per mile, would board the trains with
out tickets and greatly increase the
work Of the conductors and auditors.
Accordingly the commission permitted
the railroads to collect 10 cents ex-
cess fare on a so cent ride, % cents
where the price Of the ticket was be-
tween so cents and s1.5o and 50 cents
where the distance justified charge
of $1.50 or more.
AS the two cent fare has been
knocked out by the federal court the
corporation commission sees no rea-
son for permitting the companies to
collect this excess fare and on April
10 will listen to reasons, if the COM
panies have any to offer, why the or
der permitting this practice should
not be revoked.
It will consider on the same day
proposed order fixing the charges
for excess baggage at IS per cent of
the price of ticket sold at the 2-cent
rate and 12 per cent of the price Of a
Scent rate ticket
A third proposed order. if made
final, will make railroad tickets good
until used instead of only for "a
hours, and a fourth will compel rail-
roads to open all passenger car doors
IN towns of over 9,ee99ee eco population and
the front door of all coaches at towns
of less than that number.

Rome, April 5.-Rooseyelts planned
reception to the American colony has
been called Off as a result Of the anti.
vatican statement issued yesterday by
Rev. Mr. Triple, Of the American
Methodist church. in Rome. King Vie
tor Emmanuel called on Roosevelt at
the latter's hotel this morning and
some time was spent Ia an animated
conversation.
Last evening there was a grand din
ner at the palace given by the king
and queen in honor Of ex-President
Roosevelt and family Great prepara-
tions had been going on for this event
and the queen herself directed all ar
rangements, desiring that no details
be neglected.
Roosevelt refused to discuss the
Vatican incident when seen yesterday.
The incident aroused considerable bit
ter comment in the newspapers, which
made Roosevelt subject to intense
interest and crowds were constantly
before the hotel where he was staying
awaiting the chance to get a glimpse
of him.

says thegincident between the Spanish
Papal secretary Of state and Roosevelt

says what occurred shows narrowness

maintained a decorous dignity. Rude

paper, will argument popularity

basis for comment the statement
which appeared last evening in the
