lowed to work at time. The little
house was blown to pieces by the ex-
plosion and Clements was burned al
most beyond recognition.
What caused the explosion can, of
course, only be conjectured, but the
impression is that an iron plate or
the nails in the heels of Clements
shoes must haN. caused spark which
communicated to the explosives.
The body of the young man is be-

THEFT OF TESTS STIRS.
Man Arrested And Three Girls Arc
Called as Witnesses in West
Virginia School Scandal.

Charleston, W. Va, June 10
State Superintendent of Schools NJ
P. Shawkey has started an investiga-
ton to ascertain how the questions
for the teachers uniform examination
held last week became public prior
to the examination.
His probe is expected to result in
several arrests.
Already evidence has been found
that the questions were offered for
sale in Kanawha, Jackson and Lincoln
counties. John Chain has been arrest
in jackson county charged with hav-
ing his manuscripts prepared in ad-
vance.
In Kanawha county Misses Julia and
Sadie Lewis and Maddie Spencer were
summoned befcte the grand jury to
give evidence, but no indictments were
returned. 1t was alleged that Julia
Lewis offered copies Of the questions
to other teachers who took the exam
nation.
State Superintendent Shawkey
learned of the leak in kanawha county
in time to substitute another set Of
questions. No evidence has been Sc
cured as to how the questions got
out.
The investigation will include the
State printing plant and various Of
ficials who were assigned to hold the
examinations. If it is shown that
the questions were public generally
the recent examination may be de-
clared invalid and another held,
which would cost thousands OF dol
lars. The law prescribes heavy
penalty for any person not an ex-
animation official having the questions
in his possession prior to the date OF
the examination.

SHIPPERS MUST BE CAREFUL.
,iSecretary Redfeld issues Warning to
| Lessen Accidents.

Washington, June 13.-Carelessness
on the part of vessel captains in
handling their craft will not be tolera-
ted hereafter by the Department Of
Commerce.
With the recent disasters of the EN-
press of Ireland in the st. Lawrence
river and the Old Dominion liner
Monroe off the Virginia coast still
fresh in mind, Secretary Redfeld so
indicated today in letter to the head
of the Steamboat Inspection Service,
calling attention to the recent ground
ing of the passenger steamer lroquois,
in the Hudson river, for which
the captain of the Iroquois
is said to have received a 80 days
suspension of his license.
The Secretary is convinced that the
punishment often melted out to vessel
captains who are in accidents is IN.
sufficient for the gravity of the Of
Tense. In his letter Secretary Red.
field says, in part:
"If there is no law to the contrary
in the case, I should say that this
captain, if he had passengers on board
at. the time of this accident, should
have had his license suspended al
least for the season on its being
proved that he had run at usual speed
at night in fog"

ADDITIONAL TAXES
OPPOSED BY Mann
There is No Need to Put New Tax
es on the People Says
Mr.. Mann.

Washington, Oct. S.-"With the
industries of the country largely
paralyzed and labor out of work, it
is no time to impose additional tax
es, and taxes, too which are entirely
unnecessary. declared James X.
! Mann, Republican Minority Leader of
the House OF Representatives, in a
statement today.
Congressman Mans statemnt is re-
garded as an important utterance in
view of the fight the Republican
minority is making in both House
and Senate to prevent the Demo-
cratic ma jority from imposing a So
called war" tax on the people in ad-
dition to their other burdens of tax
alton, at a time when this country
is at peace with all the world.
There is no need to put new tax
es on the people at this time" Mr..
Mann asserts. while there may be
a slight falling off in customs re-
ceipts during the European war,that
can easily be more than met by prop
er governmental economy. The war
in Europe may be over soon and the
treasury can meet the expenses OF
the government without difficulty
for a long time to come if it draws
on the government money now de-
posted in the banks. Much of the
money already appropriated need
not be used for the present if the
President will direct the depart
ments to practice economy. There
are many things which can wait over.
Temporary delay in many cases will
be no injury.
For the seven months of this
year ending with July 81, before the
war begun, our imports from foreign
countries were 1872 million dollars
more than they were for the same
period last year, while our exports
were 126 million dollars less. That
is caused by the Underwood tariff.
The balance of trade in our favor |
for these seven months in this year
was so million dollars. For the
same seven months last year, the |
balance of trade in our favor was
sos million dollars This shows a
falling off in the balance of trade in
our favor in seven months before
The war commenced 24S million dol
ars in gold. That is one of the
main troubles with the country now
and is the result of the new tariff
aw.
IF We were manufacturing the
foods we use instead of importing
hem. we would have prosperity and
we had a sufficiently high import
uty on the goods we bring in from I
broad. we would have sufficient !
evenue without question. What q
re need now is economy and not new :
axes. What we have under the a
'emocratic administration is ex- II
'avagance and additional taxation"
