PROTECTIVE TARIFF AND HOW IT “HELPS” LABOR. For the second time in as many years President Tait has vetoed the bill to cut the excessive tariff on wool. In his latest veto messege, as in the previous one. the president refers to the necessity for protection on wool, and expresses the tear that he would jeopardize the woolen industry by “inviting com-' petition with the pauper labor of Europe,” In the light of the president’s secon-d veto of the wool bill, which veto gives the woolen trust, a continuance of its privilege to plunder the consumer while at the same time paying its workers starvation wages, a page from the hearings in the connection with the Lawrence strike inquiry makes interesting reading. The witness is Miss Sanger, a trained nurse. (Page 226, Hearings on {he House resolution 409 and 433.)

Mr. Pou—-Miss Sanger, were you instrumental in taking a number of' the strikers’ children away from Lawrence during the strike? Miss Sanger—Yes sir. Mr. Pow —Did you talk with the children about their manner Of living? Miss Sanger—Yes sir. I found that the children—-there were 119 of them in my party—seldom ate meat, and their physical condition was the most horrible I have ever seen. In the first place four of the smallest children had chicken pox, and they had not received any medical attention. They were walking about among the other"children, apparently without noticing the chicken pox or diphtheria; one of the i Children had diphtheria. Of the 119 children only four of them had underwear, and it was bitterly cold. We had to run all the way from the station to Labor Temple after we got to New York to keep from freezing. Mr. Foster—You say only four had underlcothing, what was the condition of their outer clothing? : Miss Sanger—lt was simply in rags. Their coats were torn to shreds.

Mr. Foster—Were the children pale and thin? Miss Sanger-—-Yes sir. and I want to say that when they had supper it would have brought tears to your eyes to see them grab for the meat with their bare hands. i Mr. Foster—Did any of them have on wooden clothing of any sort? j Miss Sanger-—No Sir. i Mr. Foster—And yet they all worked in woolen mills? I Miss Sanger—Yes sir. | In his veto message Mr. Taft has much to say about the “woolen industry,” and “foreign labor. He makes no mention of these poor victims of the woolen trust’s greed. | .

Prohis Ignore State Law. I.ogansport, Aug. 20. —Cass county Prohibition candidates have destroyed all hope of being able to take office, provided any are elected at the coming election, by ignoring the requirements of the corrupt practices act passed by the last legislature and failing to file with the clerk of the circuit court an itemized statement of expenses incurred in campaigning for the nomination. The Prohibition party held its county convention here June 3 and placed a full ticket in-the field. The campaign opens August 26, and W. H. Hickman, candidate for governor, is scheduled to deliver five speeches in the county.

Predict Bumper Corn Crop.

They state that the corn is of good height; that in nearly every field the stalks have two to five ears, and in some instances more, of good size. There is also a larger acreage than in previous years, because of the failuaa of the wheat crop.

FIGHTS SECOND TRIAL

DARROW’S COUNSEL SEEK TO QUASH BAIN INDICTMENT. District Attorney Determined to Again Prosecute Chicago Labor Attorney for Jury Bribing. I.os Angeles, Cal., Aug. 20. —The fight of Clarence Darrow against a second trial on a charge of bribery growing out of the McNamara case was begun when the Bain case came up before Judge Hutton to be set for trial. A determined contention that the Bain indictment should be quashed was presented by Darrow’s attorneys, Rogers and Appel, and the court took :he legal aspect of the case under consideration.

In the possible event that the indictment is set aside, Darrow may be cried on a new indictment. District Attorney Fredericks, more determined than ever to prosecute Darrow on the Bain charge, asserted that he did not deem the grounds for the setng aside of the Bain indictment sufficient, but if it should be, he would 'very likely” bring another indictment against Darrow.

The arguments presented by Darrow’s attorneys against the setting of the case, and in favor of having the indictment set aside, were three in number. They contended that all the evidence in the Bain cases was submitted by the district attorney in the Lock wood case, and therefore a second trial would be useless. They declared the rule that the defendant must be brought to trial within sixty days from the date of the indictment had been disregarded. The third contention was that the Stare, in the Lockwood case, attempted to prove a conspiracy to bribe jurors, but that by the verdict, of acquittal, these charges were shown to be groundless, and the bringing of the defendant to trial on the second jury bribery charge would place him twice in jeopardy. 1 The further contention was made that on account of the widespread interest in the case that has just closed it would require four or five months in securing a jury and the cost to the county would be great.

GOV. MARSHALL IS NOTIFIED

Chief Executive of Indiana Hears of His Nomination for the VicePresidency. Indianapolis, Aug. 20.—The news that he has been nominated for vicepresident of the United States was officially broken to Gov. Thomas R. Marshall by Judge Alton B. Parker this afternoon. Samuel M.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 20.—Colonel Roosevelt issued a statement In reply to a published interview in which Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania was quoted as saying that he believed the >25,000 check sent to him in 1904 by the Standard Oil company was used by the Republican national committee to help in carrying New York state for Roosevelt.

DR. SUN YAT SEN SLAIN BY TROOPS?

San Francisco Chinatown Stirred by Report. HIS CHILDREN GET RUMOR China’s First President Said to Have Been Assassinated While on Journew to Peking to Prevent Hostilities. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 20. —Dr. Sun Yat Sen, first provisional president of China and head of the revolutionary party, was assassinated by imperial troops acting under orders supposed to have been given by President Yuan Shi Kai, according to a report that has reached Dr. Sun’s sons and daughters, who are op the Pacific coast. Grave fears were expressed for the safety of Dr. Sun when he left Shanghai Sunday in defiance of warnings of friends. He started for Peking to undertake to save the republic from a threatened renewal of hostilities following the execution of several generals, among whom were Generals Chang Chen-Wu and Aeng Wet Report Causes Wild Excitement.

No details of the reported assassination of Dr. Sun have reached here and Chinatown is a state of wild excitement. Bulletins are posted on the Chinese newspaper bulletin boards and the streets are thronged with anxious Celestials.

Despite the fact that the report reached Dr. Sun’s family, the Chinese consulate refuses to give credence to it and at the consulate the report was dismissed as entirely improbable. ' Sets Out Alone for Peking. General Huang-Sing, who commanded the southern republican army and who was to have accompanied Dr. Sun to Peking, abandoned the trip

Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

at the last moment and Dr. Sun set out alone. The southern generals recently put to death were members of Dr. Sun’s party and were seized at the capital by orders of President Yuan Shi Kai and summarily put to death. Two of the officers were charged with conspiracy against the government and after trial by drumhead court-martial were shot at the capital, while the others were returned to Hankow in chains and there executed.

According to Chinese newspapers, the execution of General Chang was carried out in a fiendish manner. The Bannerman general. Yuan Chi Kuei, who was entrusted with the execution, actually dined with his victim in a European hotel and toasted him repeatedly. When the dinner was over he followed his victim in another carriage to his lodging. Executed in Fiendish Manner. On alighting from the vehicle General Yuan Chi Kuei blew a whistle as a signal, whereupon a forest of sabers and bayonets sprung like magic about Chang Chen Wu, wnb was seized and bound, flung into a mule cart and carried to the military court. No evidence was given at the trial, and the accused officer was condemned to immediate execution. The first volley not killing the prisoner, repeated volleys were fired until the general’s body was completely disemboweled;. It being necessary to dress the corpse, a message was sent to the victim’s wife for more clothes, as her husband “felt cold in the night air.”
