Washington, d. C., Aug. 2s.-Se-
rious inconvenience in handling the
mails from particular localities Is be-
ing experienced by the postal author
tiles on account of general use of ad-
hesive stamps other than United

In view of the trouble experienced
from the use of the Red Cross stamps
during the last Christmas holiday
period, Postmaster-General Hitchcock
has issued an order that no adhesive
stamps except United States postage
stamps should be attached to the ad-
dress side of a letter or package.
Tens of thousands Of stamps now
are being used, including Panama Ex-
position stamps, various State expo
siton stamps, and what are known as

MANY PERISH IN PANIC
Twenty-Six Killed and Over
Sixty Injured in Trying to
Escape From Building
False Alarm of Fire Caused a Large
Death TOlI-MOst of the Dead
Were SmOthered and TrampIed
Underfoot-A Distressing Scene.

Canonsburg. Pa, Aug. 26.-Twen-
ty-six persons were killed and over
sixty injured tonight when a moving
picture film exploded in the Canons-
burg opera house.
Immediately following the flash Of
the film, some persons shouted
"Fire!" There was a rush for the
exit and in a moment there was a
writhing, screaming mass of human
ity. ten feet high, in the narrow
stairway leading to the entrance of
the theater.
Most of the dead were smothered.
A majority of the audience was COM
posed Of women and children. In
the rush for the exit, they were
thrown from their feet and trampled.
Others were thrown upon them and
those at the bottom of the human
pile. were suffocated.
When two volunteer fire depart
ments reached the theater the sight
staggered them. Those of the audi
ence who had escaped from the
building and other spectators drawn
to the scene were rushing about the
front of the building. No person, it
seemed, was making any effort to air
the struggling mass within the the
ater.
The firemen pushed into the build
ing and practically threw persons
into the street.
As thew regained their feet thew
ran shrieking in terror about the
streets. As the firemen neared the
bottom of the pile, they began to
bring out unconscious forms of the
injured and later came the dead. The
dead were laid in row along the
sidewalk.
Relatives fought and struggled to
break past the guards and reach the
victims.

Will be Governed by Tariff
Board as to Tariff
Revision
Says the Democrats Attempted to
Play Politics of the Most IrrespOn-
Three Tariff Bills.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft began the presidential cam
paign Of 1912 here today his friends
believe. In a speech that breathed
defiance, he scored the ''insurgent"
members of the Republican party in
Congress and the Democrats who
combined to revise several schedules
of the present tariff at the special
session of Congress, just closed.
He singled out Senator LaFollette,
of Wisconsin, Speaker Clark and
Chairman Underwood of the House
ways and means committee as lead
ers of the attempted revision. He
indicated that he regarded the pro-
posed revision as injudicious and
dangerous to business, but made it
plain that If the tariff board in De-
cember reports that downward revi-
ules should be made, he will recon-
mend it.
Standing on the broad terrace Of
Congressman A. P. Gardner's farm,
sachusetts Republican leaders, the
President addressed 500 members Of
the Essex County Republican Club.
Their cheers were loud and long.
Presidents Speech.
President Taft said, In part:
THE extra session of Congress was
called for the purpose of confirming
the Canadian reciprocity treaty,
which it did by support made up
ct votes from both parties. I have
NO doubt Massachusetts,, by both par
ties, would confirm its adoption.
HOur Democratic friends, however,
We're not content to allow the ses-
sion to pass with the accomplishment
Of the purpose for which it was call
ed. They assisted-most OF them
in the passage of the reciprocity
bill, because they believed in its use
fulness, and in so doing they united
with the Republican support and did
not play politics in its passage.
However, having pursued purely
statesman-like course with reference
to reciprocity, they did play politics
of the most irresponsible character
in respect TO three tariff bills. which
by uniting with certain Republicans
in the Senate they were able TO pass
and prestnt to the Executive for his
signature.
