Stouffer Has Narrow Escape.-A. c.
Stouffer had a fortunate escape from
injury at 7:45 Sunday morning
when the engine of his auto burst,
due it is thought to "backfring."
Pieces of iron as large as a mans
hand were hurled about the garage,
from which Mr.. Stouffer was taking
the car at the time. Fire spread to
! the cylinder oil but was extinguished
before it could reach the gasoline
tank, freshly filled and holding Is
gallons. Mr.. Stouffer was preparing
at the time for a Sunday trip to
Hillsdale to spend the day.

and Mrs. G. H. Huntoon have pur-
chased from Mrs. Myra Walker %
acres of ground on the bluff between
the Cady homestead and the Ridge

Played In Republican Cam

Washington, July 24.-No contribu-
tons were made by corporations, Henry
Hayemeyer or the International Har-
Yester company TO the campaign OF
Colonel Roosevelt, according to the
testimony of former Senator Nathan
B. Scott of West Virginia on Monday
before the committee investigating
campaign contributions of 1904 and
1908.
Mr.. Scott testified that the largest
contribution made to the national COM
mittee in that campaign Of which be
had knowledge was his own, amount
ing TO $4,000 or $4,000.
George w. Perkins, he said, had CIV
en- $4,000, but not to the national com
mittee. Both contributions were used
in the West Virginia state campaign.
Mr.. Scott said none of the "har-
vester people" had contributed to the
1904 campaign.
How about the Perkins contribu-
tion?" asked Senator CIapp.
We'll, I understood that Mr.. Per-
kins' contribution was a personal
matter Of his own" said Mr.. Scott.

existed between him and President

LA TOILETTE WOOL
BILL IS PASSED
Senate Defeats CumninS' Plan
and Penr0se Compromise.
RECORDED VOTE is 80 TO IT
Measure introduced by Wisconsin SEN
ator Is Put Through by Coalition
of Insurgent Republicans and
Democrats.

Washington, July 27.-After defeat
ing the Cummins' wool tariff bill on
Thursday by a vote of "a to 80 and
adopting a compromise measure pro-
posed by Senator Penrose in commit
tee Of the whole, the senate finally
passed the La Toilette bill of 1911
through the coalition of the Insurgent
Republicans and Democrats.
The La Toilette bill was adopted by
a vote of 80 to q less than two hours
after the Republican leaders had
achieved what they believed was vic
tory when 2 compromise submitted by
Senator Penrose was passed in the
committee of the whole.
The Cummins' substitute wool tariff
bill which represented the views of
many Of the progressive" senators
was defeated when it came to q vote
in the senate. Practically all Pro
gressiVes voted for it. The measure
was defeated, 81 to IA. The senators
supporting it were Borah, Bourne,
Bristow. Clapp, Crawford. Cummins,
Gronna, Jones, Kenyon, La Toilette.
Nelson, Poindexter. Townsend and
Works
Senator Penrose, acting on behalf
Of the Republican members of the
finance committee, offered the Repub-
lican substitute as soon as the Cum
minis amendment had been voted
down. 1t was the bill that had been
prepared by Senator Lippitt of Rhode
Island.
Senator Penrose made a formal
statement as to the effect the new bill
would have If adopted. He said it
would make many important reduc-
tons in the present tariff rates on
wool and wooden products.
The action of the senate undoubted-
ly means that another wool bill will
be sent up to the president for his
signature or veto. The La Toilette
bill, as adopted, is identical with the
one passed by the senate at the last
session. The Democratic wool bill
passed by the house at this session is
word for word the bill which the Dem
ocrats adopted in the house last year.
When the senate and house con-
ferees meet on the La Toilette and the
Democratic bill, they will have to con-
slider the two same bills presented to
the conference committee in 1911.
At that time, after prolonged discus
sion, La Toilette made concessions and
the Democrats met him half way. The
result was that the wool bill was We

TALE OF WINCHESTER BATTLE
Col. MuIigan Met Death During Fight
Near Winchester-Several
Thrilling Incidents Told.

Comrade B. NJ Clayton, Twenty
Winchester as happening July 20 II
was the first or second Sunday in
August. The command I was in was
on its way back from the battle Of
Monocacy Junction, near Frederick,
Md, through Virginia. We crossed
the Shenandoah river near Smokers
Gap, and there got with Mulligan's
brigade and the First New York cav
airy, which was very good company,
writes Vim. c. Eckman of Atlantic
City, n. J., IN the National Tribune.
We went around Winchester and
struck the pike at Kernstown on
Saturday.
The command to which I belonged
was a detachment OF Coles Rangers,
under Captain Link. He was in the
advance. The First New York cav
airy did picket duty that night. On
Sunday many were cheated out of
breakfasts. Just at that time that
old familiar call, Boots and saddles"
sounded. The rebs had sighted us,
and opened fire on US with three
small guns. We were ordered 70
charge. We drove them back, but
We did not get back to our break
fast. That started the fun for the
day. We had a few chargers and
skirmishers with Coles cavalry.
About p. m. the enemy came out
of the woods on our left and front,
and it was there that Colonel Multi
gan was killed and left in the hands
of the enemy. He and Captain Link
were leading US and the First New
York cavalry, but the rebs were too
much for us. I did not see any other
command but Mulligan's and Coles
men.
On Wednesday of that week some
Of Captain Links men escaped, and
Mrs. Mulligan, under a flag of truce,
went through the lines to Winchester
and brought her husbands body to
Martinsburg We covered the retreat
through Winchester on the north of
town. I was sent along with IS or
80 men out behind a stone fence to
hold the rebs in Winchester until
General Averill's cavalry came from
Berryville But we were cut off be-
tween the two lines. We had a
guide with us, and he led us through
woods and brush and swamps till
we struck the old dirt road to Mar

CLOUDBURST TOLL
IS NOW SIXTY-ONE
Aftermath Reveals Havoc
Wrought in Pennsylvania.
MANY MINES ARE FLOODED
Hundreds of Homes and Many Bust
ness Houses Have Been Destroyed
Everywhere There Is Picture
of Widespread Desolation.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 27.-The after
math Of the great floods Wednesday
bring out the facts that sixty-one
lives were claimed by cloudbursts IN
southwest Pennsylvania and West
Virginia and hundreds Of homes and
business houses destroyed. Union
town, Pa, leads the list Of known
dead with fifteen.
Everywhere there is a picture Of
widespread desolation.
Admittedly the death list will not
be known definitely for many days
to come. Many mines were flooded
in short space of time. Working
men were compelled to flee for their
lives. Whether some or all Of the
miners reported missing escaped a
watery grave can only be ascertained
by time. It will take months to clear
some Of the mines of water.
Many sections have not been heard
from and what has taken place at
these places is not known.
Wheeling, w Va, July 26.-With
telephone and telegraph wires down
throughout the state it is impossible
to learn the extent of the terrific rain
and wind storm which swept over this
section on Wednesday. Four persons
are known to have been killed in West
Virginia as a result of lightning and
landslides while traffic on the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Coal & Coke
railroads is at standstilI.
Wausau, Wis, July 26.-Heavy
rains have caused floods here and at
many other Wisconsin points, and the
loss of property is large. Damage
caused by the breaking of the big
Browak dam at Tomahawk aud small
er dams in the Wisconsin river north
OF. here is estimated at 100000 Part
of the cofferdam at Rothschild, six
miles north Of here, was dynamited,
causing the food to recede materially,
and it is expected normal conditions
in Wausau will soon be restored.
The Prairie river dam, five miles
north, is reported to have gone out, as
well as a dam on the Eau Claire river
at Kelly.

Washington, July 25-President
Taft's tariff board secured the promise
of one more year of life from the
senate. After a short fight on
Wednesday that body by a vote of "a
to 20 authorized in the sundry civil
appropriation bill an expenditure of
1925, 600 for another years work of in
vestigation by the tariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is finally
made will depend on the strength with
which the house resists the senate's
demands. The house refused to pro-

framed the sundry civil bill and it's
eonferes are expected to fight the pro-
