Air Shaft In His Apartments.
Philadelphia, July 17.-Falling from
the fifth floor of the Bartram apart
ments, Thirty-third and Chestnut
streets, through an air shaft to the
second floor of the building, Captain
w. U. Woodruff, seventy-two years oil
age, retired pay director of the
United States navy, was instantly
killed.
The body was still warm when found
by occupants of the second floor OF
the apartments. The skull was badly
crushed in, and hardly bone in the
old mans body had been left whole in
his fifty-foot fight through the shaft
to the concrete floor below.
Vertigo was given by DR.. Daniel as
the cause Of the fall, his belief being
that the plunge was accidental and
due entirely to sudden attack of dig
illness while leaning through a win.
dow Of the shaft in an effort to get o
breath of fresh air.

Reciprocity Pact viii Be
Decided July y.
ADJOURNMENT IS IN SIGHT
serate Agrees to Vote on Wool July
81, the Free List Aug. |, Reap
portionmsnt Aug. 8 and
Statehood Aug. 7.

washington. July 15.-The senate
agreed to vote on pending measures
on the following dates; Saturday,
July %. Canadian reciprocity; Thurs
day, July "a. house wool bill; Tues
day, Aug. /, house farmers free list
bill; Thursday, Aug. 3, reapportion.
ment bill; Monday. Aug z, joint res
luton for statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico.
All the bills included in the agree
ment already have passed the house
If amendments are made to them they
will be still subject to quick confer
ence between the representatives OF
the two houses.
The Legislative day" for statehood
would permit a recess" from day to
day If found necessary. Such a con.
tingency is not regarded as probable.
The agreement, following a series OF
conferences between Senators Pen.
rose, LaFollette, Martin, Smoot, Stone,
Bailey, Burton, Borah, Bristow, Bourne
and other senators, was formally Of
fered in the senate by Senator Pen
rose, as leader of the Republicans.
The original suggestion for an
agreement was made by Senator La
Toilette, Republican insurgent, who
was willing to fix an earlier date than
that named for the vote on reciproc-
ity. The demand for later date was
made by others who desire to speak
on the bill.
Many obstacles in fixing the series
of dates were encountered Senator
Borah insisted on date for consider
alton of conference report on the
joint resolution for the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
CT the people. The vote of statehood
was fixed for Legislative day" of Aug.
Z, instead of the calendar day of that
date in order to protect the popular
election bill.
AS soon as the agreement was re-
ported to the senate the acquiescence
of the regular Democrats was express
ed by Senator Martin I'VE think am
pie time has been allowed for the de-
bate of all measures" he said.
Senator LaFollette agreed that all
interests In the senate had been con-
suited, and that it had been deemed
wise to agree upon dates when all OF
the important bills now pending could
be disposed of.
The reciprocity debate will be
quickly terminated and other bills
will be taken up for discussion Sena-
tor Penrose said he understood the re-
ciprocity debate was about finished.
Senator Martin said the Democrats
would endeavor to win consideration
of the publicity of the campaign con-
tributions' bill before congress ad-
journs. Senator Kenyon asked particu-
larly as to this bill.
Senator Penrose said il had been
impossible to get an agreement on
more bills than those named; but that
the senate would be free to take up
the publicity bill If it so desired.
The agreement to vote is so drawn
that amendments may be voted on at
any time. Senator Bristow called at
tention to the fact that this would
prevent senators from leaving Wash
ington until the day of the votes.
IF they do, they may find their
bills amended when they get back"
he declared.

TARRED TEACHER
 WILL GET DAMAGES

Lincoln Center, Kan., Dec. 18- Miss Mary Chamberlain, victim of the Shady Bend tar party will, it is said, receive not less than $25,000 as smart money' for the ou r a'g committed against her and it is probable that the courts have heard the last of the notorious affair.
 Miss Chamberlain intended to bring suits for damage against all participants in the "tar par ty." but proceedings are now un- der way for a compromise in the matter and it is said that $25, ,OOO IS the least her attorneys will accept.
 The three men, E. c. Clark, Jay Fitzwalter and Watson Scranton, who plead guilty, and John Schmidt, who was convict ed, have property worth more than $100,000, Clark being rated in excess of $50,0OO. Their pleas of guilty and the conviction of Schmidt leaves them exposed for arrangement, and upon the advice of attorneys, they are offering to compromise rather than go to court, where they might be stripped clean.
 Clark has transferred his flour and feed mill and other property worth more than $5O,OOO dollars, to his business partner and, it is said, is preparing to leave the community. This transaction, however, can be set aside in the courts, if necessary.
 There is talk also in Shady Bend of. changing the name of the pretty village. The almost unanimous condemnation of the

STRIKE OIL NEAR TEXARKANA

q The Nash Oil and Gas Com pany, which has been driving a well near Nash, five miles from Texarkana for the past two months, struck a good flow of oil at depth of 2,550 feet yester- day afternoon, according to state ments made by officers of the company.
 The flow of oil was accompani- ed by strong flow of natural gas, this, it is said, rendering it impracticable for the time being to accurately measure the num- Der of barrels per day of the oil flow. It is declared, however, that the oil will prove to be in good paying quantities.
