FOURTH OF JULY
NO DAY OF DEATH
ABSENCE OF ACCIDENTS AND
FIRES.
Throughout the Country Safety and
Sanity Prevailed.

Thirteen deaths from the old fash
ioned celebration of the Fourth of
July VS. the total reported in the
United States, according to figures
compiled by the Chicago Tribune
last night. The nationwide spread
Of the sane Fourth movement brought
fruit in the smallest number of
celebration casualties ever recorded
In nearly every city where the use
of explosives was prohibited, no ac-
cidents are reported. In others where
the discharge of explosives were per-
mitted under limitations there was
decided falling off in the number of
dead and injured as compared with
previous years. The death list of
thirteen is compared with twenty
eight reported on the night Of last
years celebration when the sane
Fourth policy was established IN
fewer cities.
The number of injured reported
is 294 against 1.7S5 reported up 10
the same hour last year. In 1903
there were "a killed and 1851 wound

year absolutely forbade dangerous

FOOTSTEPS
Along Which Reciprocity
Is Proceeding
DOCTRINE NOTH|NG NEW
Blaine and Mckinley Were
Earlier Advocates of Pol
icy of Pres. Taft, He Tells
an Indianapolis Fourth of
July Audience.

Indianapolis Ind, July 4.-President
Taft put the parting touch on his
part in the celebration of this city's
safe and sane Fourth in a speech on
Canadian reciprocity at the Marion
club banquet tonight The president
made his answer to the arguments of
other republicans that reciprocity as
he has proposed it, is not good repub-
lican doctrine but democratic dec
trine
He showed that reciprocity as pre-
sented to congress by him differed
if at all only slightly from recipro-
city as advocated by James q. Blaine
and former President Mckinley. He
declared that the contention of op-
ponents of his reciprocity plan, that
the doctrine is unrepublican because
1t affects articles that are competi-
tive and not merely n-competitivo
articles, is not sound.
Replying to the contention that
reciprocity would be wholly at the
expense of the farmer and in the
interest of the wage earners of the
large cities, Mr.. Taft declared that l.
his judgment the reciprocity agree
ment will not greatly reduce the cost
Of living, if at all
Although the temperature hovered
around 110 on the streets most of
the day, the president enjoyed his
part in the celebration, in spite of
the crowded program and the fact
that his collars would not stand for
more than minutes at a time
The president was the guest of
former Vice President Fairbanks He
had breakfast at the Fairbanks home
and later in the morning reviewed
parade of floats at the India&a
Soldiers and Sailors monument.
Practically the only unpleasant in
cident of the day occurred in front
of his stand a half hour before his
arrival when Mrs. Harry TutewiIer,
occupying one of the reserved seats
was struck in the thigh by a spent
bullet fired by someone whom the
police tonight had not identified
Mrs. Tutewiler was not seriously hurt
and the president was informed of
the accident.
Following the parade the president
held a reception at the Marion club
and shook hands with several hun
dred club members. He took lunch
con at the Columbia club. then drove
through some of the principal streets.
arriving at the state fair grounds in
time TO witness a pre-arranged col
lision between two railroad locomo-
tives.
The two locomotives starting under
full steam on the same track. came
together at high speed, 200 yards
from where the president sat. Neither
left the track, but both were reduced
to scrap iron. At the baseball park
he awarded prizes To the winners
in the morning parade. In a brief
address at the far grounds, the presi-
dent praised the idea of a safe and
sane" Fourth.
From the fair grounds he was
taken back to the home of Mr..
Fairbanks where he rested until time
for the Marion club banquet

known to have seen the murderer
walk from the court house and down
the street after firing the shot from
the court house window into the Jail,

San Francisco. Sept. Five inter-
national presidents Of the Federation
of Railroad Shop Employees left hur-
riedly for Sacramento in order to pre-
vent strike which the leaders in that
city are about to declare. President
Kline Of the blacksmiths said they
could not afford to have q strike de-
clared by any single union before the
conference of union men from all parts
Of the state. which has been called for
tomorrow In this city.
A meeting at Sacramento has been
called, when the local officials will go
over the situation with the union lead
ers from the east. Before leaving Kline
stated that the strike might be called
from the Chicago headquarters at any
time.

west
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said that the de-
mands made at the conferences in San
Francisco were the strongest ever
placed before the railroads. He assert
ed that with business as at present the
railroads could not consider the de-
mands and that the next move was up
to the unions. What this might lead to
he would not venture to guess, saying
that he had not heard from the labor
heads since he left San Francisco on
Saturday.
While the situation is regarded as
still serious on the Illinois Central and
allied lines. it is not believed by many
that a strike will be declared just at
present by delegates representing the
various unions in the Federation of
Shop Employees. Several of the deie-
gates asserted that much depended
upon the action of The international Of
ficers in respect to the refusal of the
Hartman lines to continue negotia-
tons. 1t was intimated that declara-
ton of a strike on the Hartman lines
generally would be followed by sim
liar order on the Illinois Central and
allied roads

FAMINE IN WAKE OF FLOOD

Cities and Towns In Yanetse District
Are Under Water.
Washington, Sept. THE horror of
the Chinese famine situation caused
by the fugitive waters of the Yangtse
river, which has broken from its
banks, was officially reported to the
state department by Consul General
Wilder at Shanghai, and the question
of rendering Red Cross assistance is
under consideration AS the amount at
the disposal Of the American Red
Cross society for this purpose is fnf1ni-
tesimal when compared with the pro-
portions Of the necessity, it is possible
that an appeal for additional funds
may be issued.
The entire territory. between Han
kow and Shanghai distance of about
600 miles-has been over1owed, Mr..
Wilder declares. Cities and towns are
under water, many dwellings being
entirely submerged. Conditions among
the people are distressing, and dev-
astating period of famine seems to
threaten them. Because of the scare
tty of rice and the destruction of the
fields, the price of that grain has risen
to the highest point ever attained.
Unless the tide of the Yangtse soon
subsidies it is believed that the condi-
tions will become far worse.
