ADOPT SCHEDULE K
BY BIG MAJORITY
QUESTION OF FREE RAW WOOL
YET TO BE TAKEN UP FOR
CONSIDERATION.

WASHINGTON. May 3.--Scheduie
K-the wool schedule, as framed by
the ways and means committee--was
retained by the house r the wilson
Underwood bill by vote of 1913 to
"a today. There was a vote by tell
ers. the first since the paragraph by
paragraph discussion of the bill be-
gan. Some of the Progressives. nota
bly, Representative Murdoch. of Kan
sas. the Progressive leader, voted with
the Democrats. The free vol prs
vision of the new law was. OF course,
not included in the schedule as voted
upon today, For that reason the
party line-up presented was significant
only with regard to the attitude OF the
house in the matter of manufactures
of wool, cloths. yarns. etc.
Free raw wool will be voted upon
when the free list is under discussion,
and II Is upon change in the existing
law that the possible bolt of a few
of the Democrats. most notably the
Ohio group, will come. 1t is not gen.
orally believed there will be more
than score OF Democrats who WIN
refuse to vote for the Underwood free
raw wool in all. The vote above re-
ported was taken on the motion OF
Representative Mann, the Republican
leader, to substitute the Payne amend
ment for the present schedule X. 1t
provided among other rates rate OF
tax on raw wool equivalent to 10 cents
per pound upon the secured contents
OF raw wool in the grease. The sup
port OF the Payne substitute was de-
sultory.

KILLED HIMSELF
Deputy Postmaster at Seneca
Uses Gun With Fatal Effect.
Inspector Checking Up Office
WithhOldS Statement.

Seneca, Kan. June 1s.-E. A. Peck
enpaugh, deputy postmaster in Seneca,
shot and instantly killed himself at 10
O'Clock this morning in an outbuilding
in the rear of the postoffice here in
Seneca.
A 80 caliber revolver was used by
the young man in committing the deed.
The shot was heard by employees in
the office and the weapon was found
by his side. A United States postal in
spector is at present working over the
books in the Office but refuses to state
whether or not there is a shortage in
his accounts. Parties. however, in
calling for their mail at the office this
morning are said to have overheard
the inspector charge point blank the
young deputy with being short.
w. H. Jordan, the Seneca postmas-
ter, says that Peckenpaugh was ap
parently in good spirits this morning
and that he is personally unable to ac-
count for the suicide. Mr.. Jordan
says that it will be impossible to state
as to whether or not a shortage in
accounts is responsible for the act un-
til everything has been investigated.
Peckenpaugh was 80 years old and
has been employed in the office as dep
uty for nearly three years. He has
been considered a young man of reg
ular habits and the whole city is in
a ferment over the unfortunate affair.
He leaves a widow, mother and a
young sister.

An Employee Killed Every 3
Days on Rock Island.
Figures in Topeka Show 1O2
Deaths Last Year.
SAFETY MEN MORE ACTIVE
Acts of Carelessness Have Been
Reduced to Minimum.
In One Year 1888 Either
Killed or Injured.

Every three days an employee lost
his life on the Rock Island Lines in the
last fiscal year This is an increase of
81 per cent over the record for the
year before. And this is one reason
that the management of the road has
authorized the expenditure of thous-
ands of dollars for the prevent in
jury movement inaugurated in the
last year.
The above figures were made known
at the second district headquarters of
the Rock Island in Topeka today. IT
was with regret that the officials of
the road admitted that the I02 en-
ployees had been sent to their graves
due in great measure to carelessness.
recklessness and laziness on the part of
fellow workers
In the same year 1873 employees of
the road received njuries-iniuries
which resulted in the loss of a leg or
arm, or in minor bruises. The road
has kept an accurate record of all
classes of injuries. Basing their cam
palgn on the figures above, the safety
committees under L. F. Shedd, general
safety supervisor and locally under d.
b. Lothian. district safety supervisor,
have started out to find the cause and
inject remedy.
Taking the Rock Island figures as
they have been sent to the employees
officially through their publication
sources:
During the fiscal year 102 EMPLOYEES
lost their lives in accidents, twenty-fo
more than during the preceding year,
an increase of 81 per cent. In the same
period II employees suffered spinal in
Juries as compared with only two in
the preceding year-an increase of
800 per cent. Also. 305 employees suf-
fered fractures or disloca tions as COM
pared with only PA the year before an
increase of 81 or 25 per cent In the
same period S,555 employees were in
jured by sprains, cuts, bE1uises scalds,
burns or otherwise as compared with
1856 the preceding year, an increase
of 1S9 or % per cent.
In the same time there were 20 fewer
passengers lost their lives by accident
on the Rock Island than during the
preceding year and two fewer tres
passers. In other words there were 16
more fatal accidents on the Rock Is
land in the last fiscal year. Fewer
passengers and more employees lost
their lives. This same average holds
good through all classes of injuries.
There were nine more persons who
lost a finger or toe, SO more who suf-
fered fractures or disclocations, 355 more
who received sprains. bruises, scalds.
burns and miscellaneous injuries
In the last fiscal year 1885 persons
were killed or injured and 9,057 of these
were employees, the balance being pas
sengerS, trespaSserS and nontrespas-
sers. In other words there were 80 en-
ployees lost their lives or were injured
on the Rock Island every working day.

KNOW War COMING
General Wood, Chief of Staff,
Is Sure of 1t.
Nonsense That Day of War Is
Over, He Says.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 1S.-Asserting
that war must come at some time and
declaring that every young man should
have years military training. Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the United States army, today dis
cussed "our military policy to pre-
serve peace" at the annual commence
ment exercises of the Carnegie insti-
tute of technology here.
II do not wish to introduce a spirit
which are being instituted by your
founder, Mr.. Carnegie said General
Wood, but 1 want to impress upon
you that as much as we want to avoid
war we can't do it. We of the army
are training men to handle it as skill
fully as possible.
I'VE know that war is coming. We
know that it is nonsense to say that
the day of war is over. Wars are not
made by individuals but by the pres
sure of public events
