THREE NIAGARA FALLS
VISITORS MEET DEATH
in CAVE OF WINDS

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. g.
Two women and man were crushed
to death and two men were injured
this afternoon when a slide of shale
forced out bridge leading to one
of the stairways in the Cave of the
Winds, under Niagara Falls. A
hundred Or more tourists who were
in the cave had narrow escapes many
being bruised and cut by the falling
rock.
Tho dead and injured were mem
bers OF a party of tourists complet-
ing tour of the cave. With a guide
leading, the party was in the middle
of one of the four bridges in the
cave when the slide came, it's noise
deafened by the roar Of tho cataract.
The guide was not touched.
To recover the bodies, it was nee
esssary to take a row boat from the
Maid OF the Mist steamer, which had
been run up AS near as possible TO
the falls and cave. 1t was a hazard
GUS venture but the row boat crew
finally brought the bodies out of the
pool and regained the steamer.
The accident is the first of the
kind in the cave since the first stair
way was built in 1888. There have
been slides before but only in the
winter or early spring.
Those killed today are A. Hart
man, Brooklyn, his wife Louise

er'S raw materials are the fertility
of the soil, the sunshine and the
rain; and the size Of his crops is
measured by the supply OF these
raw materials and the skill with
which he makes use of them. He
can not control his. production and
adjust it to the demand as can the
manufacturer. But he can see no
good reason why the prices of his
products should huctuate SO violent
ly from week to week, and some
times from day to day. We must
get better understanding of the
factors which influence agricultural
prices, with view to avoiding these
violent fluctuations and bring about
average prices, which shall bear a
reasonable relation to the cost OF
production. We do not offer any
quack remedies in this matter. but
we do pledge ourselves to make
thorough study of the disease. find
out what causes it, and then apply
the remedy which promises a cure
Stop Price Fixing
He further said we must STOP
price fixing of farm products. His
tory shows the folly Of this method
which only brings about dissatisfac-
tion because the prices usually do
not cover the cost of production.
There is no excuse for price fixing,
except in times of a national crisis,
or when there is known scarcity
of any. necessary product. The at
tempt to hold down living costs. by
hxlng prices of farm products, has
always failed.
Favored Farm loan Act
The senator favored the farm loan
act, to help men who farm secure
lana OF their own On long credit
era to give the renter chance and
favored a revision of the tariff to
keep the home market for American
agriculture. He said:
II we are to build up self.sus-
tanning agriculture here at home,
The farmer must be protected from
unfair competition from those
countries where agriculture is still
oeln@ exploited and where the STAN
dards OF living on the farm are much
rover than here. We have asked
for higher American standards. let
US maintain them.''
He believed in buying from Amer
lea nrst, whatever we can manufact-
ure III the cities Or produce on the
la:lns. America cannot go on and
prosper with dissatisfied farming
people. ''''5
We need fewer land hogs, who
menace our future. and more fat
nogs Tor ham and bacon. We neei
less beguilement in cultivating a
quadrennial crop Of votes and more
consideration for farming as our
basic industry. We need less ar
peal to class consciousness, and more
resolute intelligence in promptly
solving our problems. We need re.t
and recuperation for a soil whi,h
mas been worked out in agitation
and more and better harvests in the
inviting fields of mutual under
standing. We need less of grief
about the ills which we may charge
to the neglect of our own citizenship
and more confidence in Just govern
ment, along with detern.inat zion to
make and hold it just.
We need to contemplate the mir
acle of America in that understand
ing which enables us to appreciate
that which made us what We are,
and then resolve to cling fast to ali
that is good and go confidently ON
to great things "
