FAMILY OF SEVEN KILLED
Father Coming in Late Jars Gas Tube

Asphyxiated.

Philadelphia.-A family of seven per-

dental loosening Of a rubber gas tube
from a gas pipe running across the
main living room and the flooding of
the house with gas.

The father, who attended celebra-
ton, returned home at a late hour and
is thought to have accidentally pulled
the gas tube from it's connections.

PAY ROLL FRAUDS BIG
U. s. STEEL CORPORATION DE-
FRAUDED OF THOUSANDS.
Evidence Shows Thefts Made Possible
by Carrying Dead Men AS
Employees.

Hammond, Ind-Evidence adduced
at the trial of John 7. Cald
we'll and Charles Bloomhoff, former
timekeepers at the Indiana steel plant
at Gary, Ind, charged with conspiracy
to defraud, shows that the United
States Steel corporation has been
swindled out of upwards of 100000
The stupendous size of thefts were
made possible by carrying dead men,
straw men and missing men on the
pay rolls, through the alleged con-
nivance of the defendants.
1t has been brought out during the
trial now under way for three weeks
that dead employee Of the United
States Steel company was carried for
months On the pay roll. Bloomhoff
and Caldwell are asserted to have pur-
chased a garage and automobile on
Michigan avenue, Chicago. with pro-
ceeds of the alleged populations. The
case will probably go to the jury to-
day. The defendants charge that
higher officials of the United States
Steel company are involved in the
conspiracy.

WRONGDOER PAYS THE PRICE
society's Penalty on Man of Wealth
and Position Guilty Of Completely
in Bride Giving.

With the recent departure from
New York of a certain aged man and
his wife on ship bound for Germany
the curtain falls on a little tragedy
about as pathetic as any to be found
in fiction. The story can be told with
out naming persons or places. The
man possesses a large fortune, and
until few months ago he was a
prominent banker, honored and trust
ed by everybody, in a leading city of
the United States.
When official investigation disclos
ed wholesale bribery and other forms
of corruption in the city government
this old man, overwhelmed either
with remorse or with fear of a prison
sentence, appeared in court, confessed
himself guilty of completely in sordid
crimes of bribe giving and was fined
$500. But that was the smallest of
the penalties that fell upon him.
He realized that his reputation was
gone, that the community no longer
respected him and that mere wealth
was not recognized as an atonement
Tor crimes committed by it's possessor.
And so, with the winter of age upon
him, this forlorn man has gone back
with his faithful wife and his money
to spend his last days in seclusion in
the fatherland whence he came a
poor boy, nearly half century ago.

in their possession at least 100000
live boil weevils, and are waiting their
opportunity to scatter these disastrous
insects over Georgia and South Caro-

PACT is PRESIDENTS AIM
Reciprocity Will Benefit the Farmer,
Manufacturer and Middle Man,
Taft Declares.

Columbus, ON an address at the
National Corn exposition here Friday
President Taft declared that reciproc,
ity with Canada will benefit the entire
United States--the farmer, manufac-
turer, railroad company. middleman
and the warehouseman.
While his speech was devoted es-
pecially to showing that the farmer
had nothing to fear, but much to gain,
he attempted to prove also that all
the other interests Of the country
would be benefited.
I'VE have with pioneer energy
pushed on to the Pacific" the presi-
dent said, land taken up all the good
land. We are spending millions to
reclaim the arid and semi-arid lands
Of the great western desert. Should
we not by taking down useless and
unnecessary tariff wall bring within
our agricultural resources the great
plains of the northwest when they can
bring to us what we need, and that
without hurting any of our own peo-
ple?"
Canada is our neighbor on the
north. Her soil is like ours. Her
climate is temperate, like ours, ex-
cept that her growing seasons are
shorter and she cannot raise corn in
great quantities 1t is difficult to
see in what respect her farmers
have any advantage over our own
except virgin soil in the far north
