RECORD BREAKING OUTPUT.

New York, Aug 15.-The July
statement of the subsidiary COM
panies of the United States Steel cor
poration, showing net gain Of
223,000 tons in untitled orders, is a
steady increase in new orders, caus-
ing a gain of 10 per cent in mill
operations. Eighty per cent Of steel
ingot capacity in commission today
means a steel output Of forty-eight
thousand tons per day or 14,9670OO
tons annually, which is record break
ing. OF the thirty thousand tons Of
fabricated steel orders placed, six
teen thousand tons were for the
Lexington avenue, New York sub
way. Bids will be taken on August
II for five thousand tons for a new
building at Boston. Railroad buy
ing is again light generally, but the
Erie has distributed orders for $500
cars and the Atlantic Coast line has
ordered one thousand steel cars.

ROBBERS MURDER CHINESE

Hanford, Calf, Aug. 15.-Robbery is
now the motive assigned for the wan
to slaughter of Chinese employees of
the Nom Sing company's truck farm
near here last night, by two white des-
reradoes. Two posses that have been
searching the country have found no
trace of the murderers. Besides the
two Chinese, who were killed, one of
the three wounded victims may be
added to the death list. Local Chinese
held a meeting today and signed Pc
tition which was despatched to San

and the officials of the Six companies
in san Francisco to offer a liberal re-
ward for the apprehension of the ban
dts. The theory that tong war was

that what we have done is right, we
intend to stand upon the position we
have taken and we cannot consider

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 15.-With con-
fidence that the result will be IA
vorable to the cause for which Lib
eralist stands in the present contest,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier journeyed to Sim
coe today to deliver his first plat
form address in what promises to be
the hottest political fight Canada
has seen since the days of Sir John
Macdoland and the National Policy.
From now until rhe date OF the cleo
ton every politician from the Prime
Minister of the Dominion to the
humble canvasser, will continue act
lively at work. Political conventions
and campaign meetings will be held
in every part of the country, and
reciprocity with the United States
will be the staple subject Of dis
cussion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier plans
to cover the eastern provinces thor
oughly. He will spend the coming
week in the province of Quebec, to
which he will devote particular at
tention in an effort to stem the Ma
tionalist movement, which is re-
garded as the most ominous ele-
ment in that province. After leav-
ing Montreal the Premier will spend
a week in the Maritime provinces and
will then return fol the wind up of
the campaign in Ontario.

Taft Doesn't Mlnce Words

President Taft does not mince words
in explaining his reason for exercising
the veto power. He bases it entirely
on his disapproval of the recall Of
Judges in Arizona's constitution. He
mentions with regret that New Mex
leo, whose constitution he fully ap-
proves, being bound together with Ari-
zona in the Flood resolution, must re-
ceive the same fate-that is that
neither territory can come in now as
a state.
Thus both New Mexico and Arizona
will likely have to continue to exist
as territories, unless Taft's foes in
the senate and the house can muster
the required two-thirds majority to re-
adopt the resolution over the presi-
dents veto, or the Smith resolution is
successful.
The president spares no words in
condemning the recall of judges,
which he says would compel judges
to render decisions under legal ter
rorism." The recall would operate
against all elective officers in Arizona,

When twenty-five per cent of the vot-
ers at a previous election petitioned
for a special election to remove an
official, such an election would be com
pulsory.
"This provision" the president says,
''is SO pernicious in effect, so destruc-
tive to the independence of the judi
ciary, so likely to subject the rights
OF an individual to possible TYRANNY
on the part of a popular majority, that
it therefore would be fatal to the
cause of free government. and
for that cause I must disapprove the
constitution containing it. Could there
be a system more ingeniously devised
to subject judges to momentary gusts
of popular passion?"
The message devotes much space to
the discussion of the functions of the
courts under the constitution. The
president dwells at length on the nee
essity of freeing the judiciary as much
as possible from politics or popular in
fluence.
