SHIP STRIKES ICEBERG
Allen Liner Meets with an Accident
but Is Reported Safe.

A Marconigram received in Halifax,
N. S., from the Straits of Belle
Isle, states that the Allan Line steam
er Corsican, bound from Montreal for
Liverpool, struck an iceberg in lati-
tude 1924, north, longitude 5215 west.
The Lake Champlain, also bound from
Montreal to Liverpool, is going to her
assistance. The government steam
er Lady Laurier is also in the vicinity
OF Sydney and G.. Harvey, agent of the
marine department, is trying to get in
touch with her to see if she can render
assistance.
The Corsican has between 400 and
500 passengers. Her gross tonnage is
II ,419. She was built in 1907
The Corsican's bow was consider
ably crushed by coming in contact
with the iceberg. After a thorough
examination, temporary repairs were
made, and the vessel proceeded on
her way to Liverpool without assist
ance. None of the passengers or
crew were injured.

COAL WILL Be SCARCE
Outlook for Winter in North
west Is Serious.

The great northwest is facing one of
the worst coal famines since 1902, the
year of the big strike.
At the head of the lakes, the sup
ply of hard coal is less than 20 per
cent of the amount usually on hand
at this time of the year. The shortage
is attributed to the severe weather of
last winter. The coal stored by the
mines as reserved was exhausted
Two months of idleness, coupled with
heavy consumption of coal in the
east, also affected the situation.
George H. Cushing, editor of the
Black Diamond, a coal trade publica-
ton, says that the country produced
95,O00,000 less tons of coal from Jan.
1 to July 1, 1912, than during the
same period of 1911, and during this
time the country used 100000 tons
more than during the corresponding
months of the previous year.

nominated for vice president.
Colonel Roosevelt, arm in arm with
Governor Johnson, appeared before the

200 DEAD ARE LEFT
LYING IN STREETS
Massacre by Zapatistas in the
Town of Ixtapa, Mex.
Another Band of Rebels Holds Up
Train and Kills Thirty-Six Mex
lean Soldiers and Twenty
Passengers.

Two hundred dead were lying in the
streets of Ixtapa, Mex, after band OF
Zapatistas halted on it's march to
Toluca, the capital of the state of
Mexico, only fifteen miles north. The
town was garrisoned by 100 rurales.
Fighting occurred around Tenan-
cino earlier in the day and the 900
federals quartered there defeated the
rebels.
The latter then concentrated their
efforts on the smaller garrison Of ru-
rales at IXtapa At the end of the
fight all the rurales were dead and the
total of 200 included many of the
townspeople.
Toluca now is garrisoned by more
than 500 federals, but the passengers
from there said that the residents
were almost panic-stricken, believing
a battle imminent.
Attack Train, Then Massacre.
Thirty-six soldiers and more than
twenty passengers were slaughtered
by Zapatistas in a canyon near Ticu-
man, 40 miles southeast of Mexico
City, when a passenger train south
bound from this city was attacked
from ambush.
The first news of the assault was
sent to Mexico City by the conductor
and Marine Collector Dominguez, who
although wounded, managed to make
their way to Yautepec, twelve miles
away.
After a murderous rife fire had
ceased the rebels sWarmed down the
hillside and set fire to three cars com
posing the train. A few of the wound
ed had crawled out onto the right of
way, thus escaping the fate of those
unable to leave the cars, who were
burned.
Acts of Brutality.
According to reports the leader of the
rebels made no effort to restrain his
men from acts of brutality greater
than any has yet marked the cam
paign in the south.
The wounded, pleading for their
lives, were struck down without pity,
and even looting was held in allegiance
until the slaughter was complete.
Not satisfied with robbing their
victims in an ordinary manner, the
fingers of men and women were chop
ped off with machetes, that rings they
wore might be more quickly obtained.
Ornaments were torn from ears of
women and their bodies were other
wise mutilated.

Fined For SWEARING.

IN 1850 a law was passed in Eng
land for the better preventing and
suppressings" of swearing. 1t fixed
the fines and directed that record
of offenders be kept by justice of
the peace and published quarterly. A
lord could swear TO his hearts content
for $50, a barOnPt or knight for 1928.
and. while the strong word cost an es-
quire $3.50. Il gentleman could relieve
his feelings for $1.50, and all inferior

For the second time, President Taft
vetoed dill to revise the wool tariff
schedule X of the Payne-Aldrich law.

president returned to congress the bill

HOUSE UNSEATS CATLlN
Patrick =. Gill Will Succeed Ousted
Missouri Representative.

Theron E. Catlin, of Missouri, Re-
publican, was unseated as member
of the house of representatives and
his Democratic opponent, who con-
tested the election, Patrick F. Gill,
was seated. The vote to unseat Cat
lin was 121 to II.

that he and his family had spent
$4,000 to elect him to congress, when
the Missouri law prohibited an expen-
diture by candidates of more than
1862. Charges of fraud were made, of
all of which Mr.. Catlin denied know
ledge. He also denied he knew at the
time of any expenditures made by his
father and brother.
