 and Possibly Death.

Pittsburgh, Pa., July 21.-With a crash and roar that could be heard for squares, a portion of the fifth floor of the Kaufman Department Store building crashed through the lower floors at o'clock tonight to the base ment, carrying number of workmen in the debris. Five men were taken out and rushed to the hospitals, badly but not fatally injured. At midnight the rescuers can hear the faint cries of one buried workman, and are work ing feverishly to reach him. The walls of the building, which were being rag ed in order to erect new structure, are bulging out and the streets ad- jacent have been roped off in order to prevent more serious disaster.

THE .VOODOO DOCTOR
 TESTIMONY OMITTED
Now An Interesting Case, Involving Two Negresses With But Single Thought, Goes to the Su.
 preme Court.

Little Rock, July 2.-Because the court refused to permit the jury to pass upon the superstition of negroes as to a voodoo doctor, an appeal has been taken to the supreme court in the case of Hattie Emmons, of Phillips county, who was convicted of assault to murder, and sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary.
 The Emmone woman sent bottle of whiskey and several bottles of beer from Helena to Ellen Hill, who resid- ed in Elaine. There was sediment in the liquor which caused it to be examined, instead of being the most attractive portion of banquet. The chemist stated that in, .eachs shAttsa ssaa enough poison to kill several people.

CHINESE STRIKE
 BREAKERS RUN AMUCK
OVERPOWER STEAMSHIP OFFICER
 AND ATTEMPT TO DROWN HIM.
Man Rescued By Plucky Little WO- man-Chinks Turned Over to
 Police.

New Orleans, July 2l. --Twenty-six mutining Chinese overpowered First Officer M. l.. Proctor as the Steam ship Comus was nearing this port today, and were rushing him to the forward deck rail to throw him over- board when Mrs. Mary Shaw, a slen- der young stewardess, bounded to the officers side and by her sheer bravery saved his life. She grasped the mutineers who were pinioning Proctoc's arms and they obeyed her command to stop. The officer was enabled to draw his revolver and sig nal the entire crew, who drove the Orientals into the hold, after one Chinaman had been fatally shot and three wounded.
 Such passengers as were not panic stricken, also helped to rescue Proc tor and Mrs. Shaw. The Chinese were brought from New York as strike-breakers. Each is under $500 bond. They became enraged when Proctor, inorder to prevent possible escape, ordered them into the hold as the Comus was coming up the river. When the vessel got here the police, with drawn weapons, took the Chinese in charge.

DEMOCRATIC LOYALTY.

Effective work through letters being mailed to individual Democratic vot- CTS is creating enthusiasm for the ticket. One of the strongest letters being sent out is shown below.
 A copy of it has been received in Pine Bluff and as it contains some sound Democratic advice applicable to this county is considered worthy Cf reproduction. It is as follows

 SON COUNTY:
 Knowing your fidelity to the Demo- cratic party, you, as we'll as every Democrat, regardless of past politi- cal affiliations, are not only invited, but urged to do your full duty to the party and help roll up big majority for the ticket on July 23rd.

TO CARE FOR THE BLIND.

Little Rock, July 21.-For the pur- pose of extending to every blind child in the state the advantages of the Ar kansas School for the Blind, the State Board of Charities has started Rand Love, of Mountain Home, member of the Board, on a tour of the state to visit every blind child that has not been an inmate of the institution.
 Information has been secured from the county school examiners, showing there are 19O blind children in the state that have never had the advan- tage of an educA'ion. There may be others. and if so. Mir. Love is expected to find them
 'I have already visited P blind chill dren, ranging in age from t\ 19 years" stated MT. Love while in the city yesterday, "and believe every one of them will be in the school .nl. fall. l find that the parents of most blind children are very poor, and they have never known what conditions are at the Blind School. As soon as l explain to them that the state pays the railroad fare both ways, and boards, clothes and teaches the pupil while in the institution, they appear glad to have me make out applications for their children. I believe every blind child in the state will ultimate ly be in the institution
 Most of the blind children in the state have been so since infancy, due to the ignorance of young mothers in dealing with their babies. About 60 per cent of the blind children are girls. None of those I have visited have received any education, and some of them are near grown. In a few years more they would no doubt be a charge on the community. By bringing them to the state institution. we are able to educate them. so they are self-sustaining for the balance of 'theif livess' si'st} f lfili tl I

DENVER PRINTERS SEEK
PATRONAGE FOR DENVER
Address Letter to Chamber Of Com
merce---Urge Business Men to
Keep Work and Money in Den
ver---Arguments Why the Busi-
ness Man Should Assist.
81 .ooo, 900 SENT EAST FOR PRINTING

There has been much said in Denver
about patronizing home industry. but it
remains for the wurkcr to teach the
employer that it is to his interest more
than TO the interest of the employe to
have his work done in Denver, or to buy
home products. The laboring people are
trying to show the employer that if he
patronizes home products he is spending
his money in Denver, and that sooner or
later it will return to him and he will
get it back; but if he sends his money
to some other state it may never return.
and the employer is driving some en-
ploye out OF the city that he may find
work
a campaign to induce the business
men of Denver to patronize the home
printing industry and have all their
printing done in Denver is being started
by the printers of the city.
AS a first step in the movement the
various printers organizations have
written the Denver Chamber of Com
merce, asking them TO cooperate in
keeping the printing business in Denver.
Steps will at once be taken by that body
to advance the campaign.
The letter points out that more than
sl.u00,000 worth of printed matter is
purchased annually from Eastern houses
by Denver business men, and that this
printing could be done fully as well and
at just as reasonable a cost by Denver
printers. 1t points out that this yearly
removal of s1.00O,0o0 means an actual
loss 10 the city, since Eastern houses do
not reciprocate. The letter asserts that
cooperation on the part of Denver
business men in giving their printing
business to Denver workmen would
mean not only great monetary advan-
tage to the city. but an increase of pop
ulation as well.
IL is estimated that to have all the
printing of Denver business men done
by local firms would mean an increase
of 700 in the number of employees, which
would make total increase of about
$500 in the population of the city. The
increase in wages necessitated in hiring
700 new employees would amount to
s575,000 a year. all of which would be
spent in Denver.
Other expenses of the printing plants
would total to about S275.000. all of
which would mean more business for
Denver's firms. 1t is also pointed out
that employees of the printing and litho-

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
ExEMPTS LABOR UNIONS
The Same Bill Was Passed by
Last Congress. But Was Vetoed
by President Taft---Democratic
Party Pledged to Support 1t. But
Administration is Hedging.
FARMERS AND LABOR ARE WATCHING

The sundry civil bill. passed by con-
gress in the closing hours OF the sixty
second congress and vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft. was introduced in the house
on April II. 1t contains identically the
same provisions approved by the sixty
second congress. Labor was and is VI
tally interested in two provisions, and
the reintroduction of this bill in its orig
inal form is cause for much qualification
on the part of labor. II is not amiss to
Z briefly review this measure and empha-
size the strong position taken by the
American Federation OF Labor.
The sundry civil bill passed by the
congress which expired by Limitation on
March 4 was vetoed by President Taft
because of two provisions contained
therein. These provisions prohibited
the attorney general from expending any
money appropriated for the legal depart
ment in the prosecution of labor organ
izations and farmers unions under the
Sherman antitrust law. When the veto
of President Taft was reported to the
house. that body Immediately passed the
bill over the presidents veto. and the
senate would undoubtedly have taken
| similar action had not the measure run
into a flibuster during the closing hours
of the session. These provisions were
amendments offered on the floor of the
house at the instance of the American
Federation of Labor and the farmers
unions. and were passed by both the
house and senate by overwhelming ma
jorities.
Upon the opening of the present con-
gress the American Federation of Labor
notified those who had charge of initi-
ating legislation for the fiscal needs of
the various departments of government.
for which the sundry civil bill provides,
that it would insist upon these same
amendments being Incorporated in the
sundry civil bill TO be introduced in the
early days of the sixty-third congress.
The declaration was also made that IL
the original sundry civil bill to be intro
duced did not contain these provisions,
amendments would be offered from the
floor of both houses identical with those
contained in the bill vetoed by President
Taft. The platform of the Democratic
party contains this declaration: That
there should be no abridgement of the
right of wage earners and producers to
organize for the protection of wages and
