ATTEMPTED WRECK
Railroad Tie Across Tracks at 'Nall-
 ingford in Front of Mail Train.

A serious catastrophe was narrowly averted when an attempt was made to wreck the passenger and mail train leaving New York at o'clock and due in Springfield at 10:10 last night. The attempted wrecking occurred a few hundred feet beyond the Wall ingford station where tie was found laid across the rails, close to a sec tion house.
 Had the train been going at top speed there might have been a terri ble smashup, but not having gathered it's full momentum after leaving the Wallingford station, it was possible to stop it just few feet from the tie. A freight train had passed through safely half an hour before.

TARIFF issue
OF IMPORTANCE
IN CAMP PAICN
Forced To The Fore By
Republicans as Cam
paign Material
HAS BEEN IGNORED
Not Mentioned In Last G.. o. p.
Platform-President Was Also ST.
lent Regarding Revision.

Washington, July 10.-The tariff is
sue, which played only a minor part
in the last two Presidential cam
paigns, has been revived to the point
of paramountcy by the course of Re
publican leaders in forcing to the
front the highest protective mea-
sure ever seriously considered by Con-
gress.
Never did a major party seem to
have its wires more intricately crossed
i'm the enactment Of legislation which
was not forecast by its last campaign,
but which it nevertheless expects to
present to the country as the monu
ment of a lengthy legislative session.
Nothing that was said or done at
the Republican National Convention
in Chicago or by Mr.. Harding as
candidate for the Presidency pledged
the party to "sky-is-the limit" tariff
bill at this time or at any other time
in the immediate future. There was
no platform declaration or declaration
from the stump which foreshadowed
such measure. On the contrary, the
party spokesmen seemed to promise
only a moderate revision Of the old
law if any at all should be ordered.
This explains, in a sense, the ter
rifle assaults made upon the Fordney
McCumber bill in the last few days
at the hands Of progressive Republi
can Senator's, assaults in which the
party is warned that it is inviting
certain defeat in 1922 and in 1921 if
prohibitive instead of a protec-
tive tariff wall is erected around the
United States at the present time.
Although the application Of The
cloture rule to the tariff debate has
been defeated and an early vote on
the bill is prevented, there is not
the slightest reason to believe that
the bill itself is in any serious dan
ger. Party lines have been broken and
probably enough protectiOnist Demo
Gratis will be found voting for the
measure to overcome any Republican
defectiOns.
Eventually, the measure will be en-
acted, practically all observers agree,
whether it is defensible or indefensibfe
Republican leaders are determined to
drive their bill through and to take
their chances upon it in the coming
Congressional campaign. That much
appears to be settled.

Band Gives Farewell Concert to Re-

Frederick, Md, July 10.-The in
fantry body of the United States ma
rines, on their return march from Get
tysburg to Quantico, broke camp at
the fair grounds early yesterday
morning and are bivoucked last night
at Ridgeville. The camp site at the
latter place was prepared by corps
of engineers sent ahead yesterday to
make ready for the arrival of the
main body today.
The artillery, however, spent the
day at the fair grounds and Will leave
early this morning for Ridgeville. AS
the artillery moves more rapidly than
the men on foot, this part of the
"army" keeps a day in the reaf. A
corps of engineers will remain after
the artillery has left to clean up the
grounds. Tonight the infantry Will
camp at Gaithersburg.
Hundreds Of persons visited the
camp yesterday, many of whom bid
adieu to the soldiers and wished them
a safe return home. During their two
DAYS stay in the city The officers, as
well as many of the privates, made
numerous acquaintances. Last night
the streets were thronged with sol
diers and no disorder of any kind pre-
vailed. Citizens Of the town are unan-
imous that better behaved men IN
uniform never visited the town, and
they took with them warm invita-
tion to return.
A crowd estimated at fully 5000

1t was the largest open-air concert

Hundreds Of persons from neighbor-

having previously accepted invitations

more attractive than ever and the
boys enjoyed their swims even more
than last year, if that could be pos
Sible. Two hikes were taken, one to
Leesburg and the other to a large rock
crusher only a few miles from the
camp. The Pioneers enjoyed both
hikes and both were profitable as
Lccsburg is a very interesting place
and the rock crusher appealed to the
boys immensely as the management
allowed them to go over the plant and
see the mammoth granite stones crush
ed rs though they had been pie crust.
Mr.. and Mrs. David \. Rust, Jr.,
and family spent the camp season at
the farm and were in close touch with
the camp at all time. Mr. Rust had
erected this year lodge to be per-
manent building of the camp. Mrs.
Rust was given the privilege Of nam
ing the lodge and without hesitation
named it wallace Lodge. The build
ing will be completed and chirstened
by Mrs. Rust next year
Two days are said to stand out
Significantly in the camp Of 1922.
Sunday, July :, the camp was visited
by many parents and friends and
the boys were delighted to have an
opportunity to welcome their friends
to Camp Rust. Tuesday, July l. how
ever. was the big day even if it did
rain out the fireworks. The visitors
arrived early and the chef had real
chicken dinner prepared for one hun
dred.
The guests lined up in true mess
stvle and with plate, cup, knife, fork
and spoon filed past the mess tent
and were served generous portions
of the dinner which was voted to be
well nigh perfect. The motion pictures
were held in the dairy barn on ac-
count of the rain and the fireworks
we're shot off the next night. The
camp closed without an accident and
only one real case of home sickness,
although two boys came home before
the close of the camp. 1t Is understood
ithat the boys have already begun
planning camp Rust for 1873.

being seasonal changes. This survey
comprises employment conditlonG IN
every line of trade and industry, IN
all parts of the country, including
1923 concerns usually employing sol
or more, which added 53,3S3 workers.
Another noteworthy feature of the
report issued today is that all in
dustries but the stone, clay and glass
products show an increase in en-
ployment. and that the decreased en-
ployment in these lines Is largely due
TO the seasonal lay-of in some cen
ors in June, which was materially
shortened as contrasted with previous
years.
In part, the report reads:
'Vehicles for land transportation
recorded 6:5 per cent increase IN en-
pioyment over May. Food and kindred
