TROLLEY CAR ROLLS
 INTO NIAGARA GORGE

Niagara Falls, N. Y, July "A trolley car onSthe Gorge route, car rying forty persons, jumped the track and rolled into the Niagara river just below the cantilever bridge on the American side Sun day. fsek
 The cause,pf the accident was said to be washout. The roadbed un- der the cantiIeyer bridge is clay fill, and recent rains coming down the side of the chasm washed it out.
 When the heavily loaded car struck the weak spot, the rail on the river side, about ten feet from the water, gave way. The car turned on it's side, slipped down into the water, and as it struck the rocky bottom of the river, rolled over, the top of the car resting on the bottom of the river.
 Over in Half Minute.
 Not more than half minute elapsed between the time the car left the rails and the time it came to standstill in the river.
 Ten bodies were recovered from the car when it was taken from the river by a derrick.

sage of the danger zone might be at tended by every possible protection.
 The first attack took place at i0:30 on the night of June 9. What gives it peculiar and disturbing sig nificance is that our ships were set upon at point we'll this side of the rendezvous and in that part of the Atlantic presumably free from sub marines.
 The attack was made in force, al tho the night made impossible any exact count of the U-boats gathered for what they deemed slaughter.
 The high seas convoy, circling with their searchlights, answered with heavy gun fire and it's accuracy stands proved by the fact that the torpedo discharge became increas- ingly scattered and inaccurate. Ii IS not known how many torpedoes were launched, but five were count ed as they sped by bow and stern.

SENATE COMPLETES DRAFT ON WAR TAX
Vastly Increased Burden to Fall on Incomes and Excess Profits Re- sulting From War Times
 Liquor and Tobacco, Too.

Washington, July 3.--Providing increase in taxes for war purposes of Si ,670, 0,i700O0, or about $i30,000,- 900 less than the House authorized, the war tax bill as revised by the Senate Finance Committee, after six weeks work, was reported to the Senate today, by Chairman Simmons. It will be taken up after the food control bill measure is passed.
 Washington, July 3.-The war tax bill, redrafted and reduced to Si,- 760, 10000 by the Senate Finance Committee as against the Si ,S00,000,- ,- GOO of addition war taxes provided las it came from the House, was com pleted today. Chairman Simmons, of the committee, planned to pre- sent the measure to the Senate to- day for consideration which will be- gin after the food control prohibi- tion is disposed of.
 Upon incomes the bill would im- pose S532, 100000 in additional taxes. upon excess profits of corporations, partnerships and individuals, S523, ' 000,000, upon liquors Si55,500,000 and tobacco S56,600,000
 No additional bonds will be au- 1 thorized under the bill as any it- felt, fl is believed, can be taken care of by Congress in ample time at next lDecember's session, altho the meas ure will fall far short by many mil- | lions of meeting the expenses of the war next year.
 The revised bill eliminates many objections raised to the House meas ure by business interests. IL also provides basic changes in revenue raising. All so-called special taxes under the House levy of , per cent upon gross sales of many man lufacturers were eliminated The Senate committee also rejected the
 10 per cent general tariff increase
 designed to raise S200,000,000 and
 substituted consumption taxes upon coffee, tea, sugar and cocoa estimat-
 ed to yield SS6000,000
 Reduction of income taxation to
 single persons with incomes over si ,000 annually and married persons at S2 1000 and over with incomes un- der $5,000 subject to a new normal
 tax of per cent were the House provisions unchanged. The commit tee reduced house rates on incomes over S40,000. IL struck out inheri- tance taxes designed to raise SS,000,- 0G0 and retroactive on 1916 incomes for a further reduction of Si08,000,- = GOO.
 The final committee draft con- tains the proposed tax of five per- <, cent upon profits of publishers in excess of S4000 estimated to raise $7,5O0000 and adds an increase of one quarter of cent a pound on second class postage rates estimated to yield $3.000.000

GREAT ENTHUSIASM BECAUSE TRANSPORTS AND CONVOYs
 ESCAPED SUBMARINES.
TEN UNITS OF AMERICAN WOOD MEN HAVE ARRIVED ON
 ENGLISH SOIL.
ARE EAGER FOR ACTION
After a Period of Preparation Re- hind the Lines the Troops Will Take Place at the Battle Front
 Fall of Lens Next.

4 French Seaport, June 27.-The second contingent of American troops arrived and disembarked this morning.
 The troops landed amid the frantic cheers of the people, who had gath cred for hours before in anticipa- tion of duplicating yesterdays sur prise,
 Enthusiasm rose to fever pitch when il was learned that the trans ports and conveys had successfully passed the submarine zone. The port was speedily be-hageed in hon 0r of tine occasion
 All the troops now arrived were transferred today to a camp not far distant from the point where Major General William l.. Sibert is in stalled Thence they probably will go soon Co Q point near the front. All the troops are in excellent shape, enthusiastic over the successful trip and their reception and eager for action.
 Major General Pershing, the American commander, is expected tomorrow.
 The harbor is dotted with con- y0ys. The streets are filled with soldiers in khaki and with blue jack cts. Great numbers of trucks are transporting immense supplies to the camp in which the troops are concentrating.
 Not the First Landing.
 The reference in the cable dis patches to a duplication of ''yester- days surprise" intimating that there was also a landing yesterday there was also a landing on Tuesday, passes without comment in Wash ington, but obviously discloses a landing of contingent not recorded in yesterdays dispatches.

". Q. " ". PICNIC
 WAS BIG AFFAIR
Between 2,000 and 2,500 Persons At- tended Celebration on Fourth at Board Camp-Dinner. Speaking
 and Sports

Mena folks. and there were lot of them, who attended the W. c. w. picnic held "Wednesday in the Little grove near Board Camp under the auspices of the Woodmen camps of Mena and Board Camp are enthusi- astie about tho good time which was had at the gathering. Ii is estimated variousy that the attendance was between 2,000 and 2,500, and all who were there seemed to be imbued with the fraternal spirit so thai even the stanger fell at home
 The community basket dinner did not materialize, for the reason that the committee was unable to get the large table constructed, bus not withstanding this the dinner was one of the features of the day, and if there was any person who did not get plenty to eat, he was either too bashful to accept the invitation of dozens of parties or else he was beyond the hearing of the voica of E. c Embry and others who, during the dinner hour, were constantly calling for volunteers to help stow away the abundance of good things that were brought in huge baskets full.
 The good features of the program were the speeches, recltations, songs, races and smimming contest, and then there were stands to supply the demands of the small boy for ice cream, pop, candies and other con- fections that are absolutely neces- sary to make the celebration of the Fourth complete.
 The principal address for the oc- casion was made by County Judge A. K. Wear, who devoted himself Co a discussion of patriotic principles, the Red Cross movement and other things along that line. From the very favorable comments that were made on every hand of the Judges effort, it is evident he proved the exception to the rule that "a pro- phet is not without honor save in his own country"
 A quartette composed of Fred C.. isiltbt y, b. " o+ i3IhniFJt AlNBi 1uti- ter and J. B. Hilton, furnished a number of songs for the entertain ment of the pickniekers, and Miss Tillis Steel, daughter of MT. and Mrs John Steel of Mena, gave readings.
 For the lovers of sports there were sack and foot races and swimming contests. In the sack race Mark Sex ton of Mena easily outdistanced his competitors and was winner of the S2 prize. In the 100 yard dash Au- brey Mcdonald was the winner against four competitors. In foot race between Jim Wagner and Irva Hilton the latter was the victor The sminning contest had many en- trants, and even those who lost the race counted the plunge in Board Camp creek as one of the great things of the days outing.
 Taken ail in all, the picnic was a grand success. The day was ideal, the crowd large and bent on having a day of rest and goodfellowship, so that the committee in charge of the undertaking feel amply repaid for ali that was done for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests.

MANCHU DYNASTY MAY BE RESTORED
General Chang Hsun and Other Mili- tapy Leaders Demand That Pres ident Ii Dissolve the Parliament
 -itevolution Expected.

Washington, July 2-The restora- lion of the Manchu dynasty in China has been demanded of President Ii by General Chang Hsun and other military leaders, according to state department adtiees from Minister Reinsch today.
 Civil war in China is feared if the .militarists have the power behind lhem that they seem t0 have
 Coup Is q Shock.
 The monarchial coup q .etat came just at time when peace was being restored in China The militarisis, Nii1 had set up a separate govern ment at Iien Tsin in order 10 force President Li to dissolve parliament, and the southern provinces who had threatened armed resistance to such action had finally come together, modified their demands and united behind President Iii in a coalition cabinet.
 Minister Reinsch's dispatch, which was dated noon yesterday. says Gen. craI Chang Hsun, military governor .of Anwei province, and leader of the miltarist party, has suddenly with drawn from the compact and sent an ultimatum to President Lii demand ing the immediate restoration of Emperor Hsuan Tung. whose abdi- cation of the Manchu throne on Feb ruary l2, 1912 ushered in the Chinese republic.
 Revolution Expected.
 No indication has been received of President Lis attitude, but as he lis a strong republican and constitu- tionalist, 1t is expected he will re- sist as long a any chance of success remains. Nor is it known how com plete General Chang Hsun's support is among the military governors. It is assumed, however, that as he headed the secessionist military gov ernment at Tien Tsin, he was bold enough to make his demand in Pe- king itself
 All the southern provinces south of the langtse river are expected to revolt in case of Manchu restora- ton.
 China's entry into the war is felt here now to be practically out of the question.
