TAFT vEToEs WOOL BILL
Asks Congress to Pass Measure That
Will Not Harm Industry
Points to Pledges.

Washington, Aug 12.-For the sec
ond time within year, President
Taft vetoed bill Friday to revise the
wool tariff schedule K of the Payne
Aldrich law. With message of dis
approval the president returned to
congress the measure evolved as a
compromise between the house and
the senate, holding that it's low rates
would bring disaster to home indus
tries. He appealed to congress, how
ever not to adjourn until it has en-.
acted measure substantially to re-
duce unnecessary existing duties"
without destroying protection for the
wool industry in the United States.
Il shall stand by my pledges to
maintain a degree of protection neces-
sary to Offset the differences in cost
of production here, and abroad, and
will heartily approve any bill reduc-
ing duties to this level" wrote Mr..
Taft
The bill sent to the White House
imposed an ad valorem duty of 20
per cent. on raw wool and of 40 per
cent. on cloths. Both rates Mr. Taft
held insufficient to protect the grow.
er and the manufacturer.

Sparta. Because he is in fear that
bodily harm will be done him every
time he leaves his home, Rev. Mr..
Stark, pastor of a German church
at Ridgeville, has appealed to Dis
trict Attorney Abel for protection.
The minister stated to the county
prosecutor that he is never able to
leave his house after nightfaIl with
out being bombarded with stale eggs,
rotten fruit and other kinds Of
truck. He also exhibited several
anonymous communications he had
received in which threats were made
to dynamite his house, and do him
injuries of all. sorts if he does not
give up his pastorate and leave the
community.
The preachers trouble is said to
be due to a factional fight that has
been going on in his congregation
for years.

MA|LsWERE RIFLED
SAYS LAF0LLETIE
Asserts Officials Searched His
Letters in Postal Probe.
CHARGES CALLED ABSURD
Assistant Postmaster General Grand~
field Says Inspectors Would Sc
Punished to Full Extent if Caught
in the Act.

Washington, ID. discussion or
the postoffice appropriation bill was
enlivened when Senator La Toilette,
speaking on house provision grant
ing to employees of the postal service
the right to organize, deliberately
charged officials of the postoffice
with rif1ing his mail in an attempt
to interfere with an investigation he
was making into the postal service.
The Wisconsin senator declared
that his mail had been subjected to
an espionage almost Russian in char
acter'' and he showed to the senator's
a bundle of letters which he said
had been tempered with.
Absurd and ridiculous" are adj
jectives applied to Senator La Fol-
lette's charges by officials of the post
Office department It is declared pos
itively that if the senator's mail had
been rif1ed the crime was committed
by somebody not connected with the
department.
DR.. Charles P. Grandfeld, first as
sistant postmaster general, said:
I'VE never have heard until now
that Senator La Follette's mail had
been tempered with. I think the
senator is quite mistaken when he
charges that officials of the postof-
flee department rified his mail in an
attempt to learn the result of an in
vestigation he is making, or for any
other purpose. AS to the senator's
statement that his mail was subject
ed to an espionage almost Russian
in character, the charge is absurd, as
no one in the postoffice department
has the slightest interest in the re-
plies of the clerks to the senator's
inquiries. All mail addressed to
members of congress in Washington
passes out of the hands of the post
Office department when it reaches
the senate and house postoffices.

Slaughter Begun in .JaiI-Secretary
of Interior Promises Punishment
for All Who Took Hand.

City of Mexico Aug 1.-TWO hum
dred and ten residents of the little
town of Puruandiro, Michoacan. at
least half of whom were boys, were
slaughtered at the behest of the jefe
politico in June, according to story
brought to the City of Mexico Sun
day by a commission which called
upon the minister of the interior ask
ing for guarantees.
Members of the commission de-
clared the jefe politico caused to be
posted on the gate of the town GENE
terry a list of the dead, which was
added to from time to time.
The sacrifice was the price exacted
by the jefe politico for the sacking
Of the town which had occurred sew
eral weeks before by rebels.
The jefe politico was powerless to
resist the attack and, in retaliation,
ordered the slaughter, protesting to
believe that in killing the people he
was furnishing the rebels.
The butchery began in the jail,
where all the prisoners were killed
by the guards. Then citizens were
butchered. The people became so ter
ror-stricken they refused to discuss
it. and for this reason it was not
called to the attention of the federal
authorities until now.
The minister of the interior de-
clared the slaughter the most afro
cious in the history of the republic,
and those responsible for it will be
severely punished"

CANAL BILL PASSED
SENATE ADOPTS PANAMA MEAS
URE BY AZ TO is AFTER
LONG DEBATE.
RAlLROAD-OWNED SHIPS HIT
Opponents Of Free Toll for American
Coastwise Vessels Are Again De-
feated as Bill is Forced Through
on Final Roll Call.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Providing
free passage to American ships, pro-
hibiting railroad-owned vessels from
using the waterway and authorizing
the establishment Of one-man gov
eminent when the canal is completed,
the Panama canal administration
bill was passed by the senate Friday
night by vote of AZ to Is. The pro-
vision for free tolls, which was fought
out in the senate Wednesday, was in
dorsed again just before the passage
of the measure.
BY vote Of 40 to 10 an amend
ment, offered by Senator Smith Of
Georgia, was adopted, limited the
house provision against railroad own
ership of boat lines to those operated
through the canal.
The most important amendment
was offered by Senator Reed OF Mis-
souri,. This was carried by vote OF
35 to 49, 1t forbids any ship to go
through the canal which is owned
directly or Indirectly by any COM
pany or corporations in violation OF
the antitrust act.
An amendment offered by Senator
Bourne was also adopted by vote
of SO to Is, which gives absolute con-
troll to the interstate commerce COM
mission over companies not running
business through the Panama canal,
If they own directly or indirectly any
water line of transportation.
1t gives the commission authority
either to compel such corporation to
dispose of their holdings or else to
bring 1t under whatever consideration
the Interstate commerce commission
may decide upon.
The bill carries with it, of course,
the measure providing for free tolls
for American ships, contrary to the
protest of Great Britain. The free
toll amendment was carried by the
senate by conclusive majority.
