Philadelphia-Six workmen were
killed, one fatally injured and twelve
others seriously hurt at the Midvale

day afternoon, when a container filled
with molten steel gave way, the
liquid splashing over more than
score of the employees
Several tons of the motion steel had
been poured into the container and it
was being slowly propelled along
travelling crane across the shop to
waiting moulds- More than twenty
men were under and around it, guild
ing the vessel with long tongs, when,
without warning, a plug in the bot
tom burned out and the molten steel
instantly began pouring through the
hole. 1t spluttered and splashed over
some of the men and they were COM
PEELED to let go of the tongs- In thus
releasing their hold, the kettle became
unsteady and tilted over, pouring
down a stream of molten steel Seven

Washington.-The house OF repre-
sentativcs. by vote OF 296 to l6. late
Thursday passed the Rucker resolu-
ton proposing a constitutional amend
ment for the direct election OF United
States senators. This is the first OF
the Democratic platform measures

without modification and with speed
that brought protests from the Repub
licans.
The resolution, as the house APP
proved 1t. is in the form Of the Borah
resolution reported out OF the senate
judiciary committee in the closing
hours of the last congress. Repub-
lican opposition to the Rucker resolu-
ton in the house was based on the
fact that it did not contain the
changes made In the fight in the sen
ate. which assured to congress con
tinued control over elections in the
several states.

President Taft Determined That Fu-

Occur Near American Line

Washington.-Pres Taft is de-
termined that battles between Next
can federals and insurrectos shall not
be fought on American soil. He is
equally determined that the lives of
American non-combatants shall not
be endangered by the forces OF Presi-

Future combats between the reb-
els and the forces of the Mexican
government must not be fought out
so close to the American line as to
put in jeopardy the lives and prop
erty of Americans
Through the state department the
President on Friday night notified
the Mexican government that it must
see to it that hereafter no such un-
fortunate incident as that at Aqua
Prieta, when two Americans were
killed and eleven wounded be al
lowed to occur. Through the war de
partment and through the department
of justice the president sent similar
warning to the leader of the insur-
rectos at Aqua Prieta.

CANADA IS WAITING

me Canadian Government, Backed
by Comfortable Majority, is
Pledged and Anxious to Put the
Agreement Through

Ottawa, Ont---A favorable report on
the reciprocity agreement with the
United States is looked for by mem
bers of the Dominion government not
long after parliament reassembles
Wednesday.
Settlement of the reciprocity issue
in Canada, it is said. now depends
primarily upon action at Washington.
Any assurance that congress will rati-
fly the agreement may be coupled with
the assurance that the Canadian par.
lament will do it's part.
The Canadian government, backed
by a majority of more than forty in
the house, is pledged and anxious to
put the agreement through as soon
as the conservative opposition per-
mits vote Ratification then by the
senate would be merely a matter of
form, since the governments sup
porters in that body outnumber the
conservatives three to one.
Until the agreement is ratified by
both American branches, the fight
against it in the Canadian house will
be continued by Mr.. Borden's adher-
ents along the lines followed the last
six weeks. But their stubborn resist
ance admittedly is being kept up only
in the hope that the situation may be
saved, from the conservative point of
view, by a failure of the senate at
Washington to pass the American
part of the pact
