ASSASSINS MAKE SURE
Fire Two Double-8arreled Shotguns
simultaneously at Victim.

A battery of two double-barreled
shotguns, from all four barrels of
which sixteen heavy lead slugs were
fred simultaneously, is believed by de-
tectives to have been the trap which
assassins of Bartholdi Cardinal, aged
thirty-two years, worked from the win
dow of vacant East Side house in
New York.
The young Italian was hit in the
neck and instantly killed while sitting
at his window on the second floor, di-
rectly opposite the vacant house.
The slugs were found imbedded in
the wall near where Mrs. Cardinal sat
but she was unhurt.
The discovery of two discharged
shotguns in the vacant house opposite
foot prints on the dust covered carpet
and the fact that Cardinals brother
was assassinated three years ago are
the principal clews.

Goes over Niagara Falls in Barrel.

Goes over Niagara Falls in Barrel.
Bobby" Leach is the second person
to go over the Horseshoe Falls of
Niagara and live to tell the story. He
made the trip while large number of
people watched the spectacle from
both sides of the river.
Leach sent his barrel-boat of steel
up the river along the New York side
and he was taken we'll out into the Ca
madam channel. The launch towed the
barrel far down stream, and it was
not until the danger point for boats
had been reached that the barrel was
closed and Leach was set adrift. He
was still a long distance from the
upper rapids, and sluggishly the cur
rents drew him on.
Faster and faster the waters carried
him, and then at a point 400 feet out
from the Canadian shore they dropped
out from under him and let him drop
1853 feet into the waters of the gorge
right where they boil and toss in their
maddened whiteness at the foot of the
waterfall.
The barrel went out of sight A
| moan went up from the watching nu-
manity, as thousands of eyes watched
for the temperance of the barrel
speck on the waters that rush out from
the downpour. Seconds seemed hours,
but the barrel came in sight again
quickly and then the gorge currents
picked it up and swept it well toward
the Canadian side.
There friends were waiting, and as
the barrel swung into an eddy Frank
Bender plunged into the river and
swan out to it. He caught it and
pushed it toward shore, where Others
helped take Leach from the barrel He
was conscious, but as he was taken out
it was evident that his left leg was
broken, while he was in a badly
shaken up condition. His realization
of having made the trip successfully
was sufficient, despite the stimulant:
taken to enable him to wave to those
on the cliff tops, and he was placed OF
a stretcher and hurried up the banl
and home.

AMENDED WOOL
BILL PASSED
Democrat InSurgent Coalition
Victor in Senate.
DEFEAT HOUSE MEASURE

New Act Would Reduce Ad VaIorem
Duty on Raw Wool to s5 Per Cent.
Taft May Veto 1t.
Washington, July 2S.-A coalition of
Democrats and Republican insurgents
in the United States senate, working
with perfect precision, passed the La
Toilette substitute to the Underwood
wool bill by vote of 48 to 80.
Every Democrat and every insurgent
voted for it. The result is a personal
victory for Senator LaFollette, but it
is doubtful if the bill will pass in the
form it goes from the senate.
Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee of the house, declared after the
passage of the LaFOllette compromise
that no bill would be acceptable to the
house Democrats except the Under
wood bill. The LaFollette bill, which
was the basis of compromise, carries
duties of 35 per cent on cloths and
about 80 per cent on carpets.
The house Democrats regard these
duties as protective. The Underwood
bill carried but 20 per cent on raw
wool, with corresponding duties on
manufactures of wool The Democrats
sought to get an agreement with Sen
ator LaFollette on a basis of 80 per
cent on raw wool, with corresponding
duties on products thereof. but it was
| evident that this measure could not
have been passed.
The object of the coalition is to en-
barrass President Taft. That is the
avowed object, as stated by the Demo
| cratic caucus. Democrats would prob
ably have refused to support a bill
carrying as high duties as the La
Toilette bill but for the belief that
| President Taft would veto it. They
| have been told that MI Taft will sign
no bill revising the tariff until the
tariff board reports.
The plan is to put the bill up to the
| president, have him veto it and by
so doing still further divide the Re
| publicans.
The Underwood wool bill and its
amendments were voted upon in the
senate under the unanimous cOnsen
agreement. The Underwood bill wal
defeated by vote OF 36 to IL.

youngsters a chance to mend their ways.

BLUE NEW YEARS
FOR PENSIONERS
Fund for Police and Fire
men in Bad Shape.

Again IS the pension fund for the police
extinction. This is not very cheering
news for bluecoats and fire laddies nor
for widows and orphans on the roll, but
the truth must be told.
District Auditor Tweedale said yester-
>day that while the income and the dis
bursements are running about equal now,
payments will have to cease temporarily
about the first of next year.
The pension fund is derived from four
sOUrces-the dOg-tax fund. the Police
Court fines money obtained from the
sale of captured and abandoned prop
erty, and the individual contributions OF
81 a month by each hCeman and fire
man. These sources. however. fail to
provide a sufficient sum to finance the
pension roll.

eraI occasions Between 1896 and 1895.

The Commissioners have a bill before

got to do what the judge tells you"
Thus vociferated Annie Shindler, of 144O
S street northwest, addressing her hus-
band, a tailor, in the Juvenile Court
yesterday. IsadOr had complained that
his wife was a hindrance to him in his
industrial pursuits.
Shindler filed a petition to commit his
five children, Moses, Rosie, Make, Sam
uel, and Lillian, to the Board of Chill

cause Of the interference OF his wife he
was unable to earn enough to support
the seven Shindlers. The court, how
ever, refused to grant the petition. and
ordered that Isadore pay 81 weet for
the maintenance of the little Shindlers.
His Tools of Trade.

children. thus preventing him from fol-
lowing his trade. Mrs. Shindler told the
