Royal Visitor Exchanges Calls with
President and Dimes with
Ambassador.

Washington. on.-Democratic simplicity
marked the reception Of his royal
highness the Duke OF Connaught by
the President Of the United States at
the White House. The Duke was met
at the Union Station by Major Archi-
bald w. Butt, personal aid of the Pres
dent, who extended, on behalf of the
Chief Executive, a cordial welcome TO
the capital OF the United States.
The Duke thanked Major Butt for
his message, expressed his apprecia-
ion of the courtesies shown him
IN the United States, and accepted the
invitation of the President to visit
the White House and to take tea later
with Mrs Taft.
The Duke met Mrs. Taft Miss Hell
en- Taft and the wives of the Cabinet
officers and the Cabinet officers them
selves in his visit to the White House,
whittier he was escorted by u. S. cav
airy. He had fifteen minute private
conversation with President Taft,
which was entirely informal and of a
personal character. All told the
Duke spent a little more than half an
hour in the White House and then
the President returned his call.
The Duke was entertained at night
by the Right Hon. James Bryce, the
British Ambassador, at a dinner and
brilliant reception.
The Duke also delivered here the
first public speech he has made in the

bers Of the National Press Club,

we're brought 10 a sudden end when
Underwood refused to permit further
amendments being offered and forced
he House to a vote upon the final
passage of the measure.
Defeated repeatedly in their at
tempts TO force amendments into the
measure, the Republicans rallied for
Congressman Payne of New YORK,
former Republican chairman of the
ways and means committee. to re-
commit the bin TO that committee
with Instructions to hold 1t until the
tariff commission reports upon it's
investigation of the metal tariff This
motion was defeated, 205 to 108.
The regular Republicans protested
to the last against the application OF
rules closing the debate.
The Democrats express hope that
the Progressive Republicans will CO
alesce with them in the same way
which enabled the Senate to pass the
tariff bills at the extra session and
thus leave the issue squarely with
the President. The Progressive Re-
publicans have had no conference as
to their attitude. They differ indlvid.
ually as to the steel tariff, and this
may interfere with the entire align
ment on this measure when it comes
up for vote.

he is ready to propose as a substitute
for the House measure, largely based
on his opposition to the House bills

packing department Of the United
States Cartridge Company in tie out
skirts of this city, more than d hun
dred girls employed on the second
floor where the explosion took Ildce
were forced to battle with a score of
machinists from an adjoining section
OF the building in order To make their
escape. The 800 hands at work in the
factory were saved only by the prompt
action Of two workmen who placed
muffling cap over the magazine vault
in which thousands of cartridges and
loaded shells were stored.
MajorIs Kellnar, 10 years old. who
had charge Of the packing machine
where the explosion took place, was
killed. Twelve of the girls, regularly
employed in the same row OF ma
chimes in which the victim was sta
toned, escaped death by mere chance,
having been sent by the Superintend-
ent of the department , an adjoining
room a few minutes before the acct
dent, TO assert empty cartridge shells
of various sizes. All Of the machines
at which these girls would have been
otherwise employed were wrecked by
the explosion and the air was filled
with bits of flying metal and shatter-
ed glass which drove the remaining
occupants of the room il terror to-
ward the stairway.
At the door they were met, accord
ing to statements made by several OF
the girls, by more than a score Of stall
wart machinists, who attempted to
block the passage way and force the
girls back into the packing ROOM
which was then an inferno Of popping
cartridges and scattering shot. BY
sheer superiority Of numbers and with
the desperate energy inspired by ter
ror, the girls drove the men back foot
by foot until the foremost of the fright
ened host gained the stairway. Then
the panic became general, and men
and girls alike joined in a stampede
After the entire building had been
emptied of it's occupants a hurried
count revealed the fact that three OF
the girls employed in the packing de
partment were missing. Two of the
more chivalrous machinists, Joe lorke
and Edward Toun, volunteered TO re
enter the factory in quest Of them
They found the body of Miss Kellnar
more than 80 feet away from the ma
chine. at which she had been working.
The force Of the concussion had hurl-
ed her against the concrete wall Of
the building Almost every bone in
her body was broken and her head
was crushed.

Hall avenue and her sister Mollie, "a.
who we're at work side by side in the
nearest row of machines, a few feet
from the spot where Miss Killnar had
been working, were found lying in a
corner, where they had been thrown.

that he had found It impossible to

siderable-who are disposed 10 blame
everyone but themselves for their lack
of success and OF whom It is said by
1ndulgent and sympathetic friends
that they are no ones enemy but their

That is what shiftless and improvi-

man who does badly by himself must
necessarily do badly by others. He is

ground that he is himself the greatest

HIDES BEST PROFIT ON BEEF,
Testimony at Packers Trial Shows
Credit Was Withdrawn.

Chicago.-William f. Weber, chief
auditor for the National Packing Co,
finished his three days testimony in
the tyral Of the 10 indicted packers.
Weber based the profits of the Nation
al Packing Co on hide alone. This
figure covers only the time wherein
no credits were given hides as by-pro-
ducts OF cattle, a total of approximate
" $4,000.000.
In April. 1907, the packers withdrew
from their credits on beef the sale
price of hides Hence when thousands
of cattle are killed monthly and the
value OF this greatest by-product is
eliminated the apparent cost of an
animal rises from 81 to $40. This, the
government contends. offered an op.
