Fitz Simmons Knocked Out Cause of the Georgia Explosion Trust Sentences Suspended Corean Emperor Abdi cates Mrs. Fairbanks in Accident. Thirty-throe dead and more than one hundred Injured, Is the appall ing record of a head-on collision on Saturday morning on the Pere Mar quette railroad. The crash occurred between Ionia and Salem. Mich. Almost as appalling as the wreck itself Is the fact that for ten minutes before It occurred every operator along the line from Detroit to Bay City knew that It was Inevitable. There was nothing could be done to stop It. Officials of the road were planning, and did actually start a re lief train to the scene of horror before the fatal crash occurred. The accident occurred upon a single track line between an excursion train of 11 cars Bound from loula 4o De troit, and a freight train going in the opposite derectlon. The big freight engiue ploughed through five of the eleven cars of the passenger train, making kindling wood of them. The cause of the wreck Is placed upon the train dispatcher's orders be ing mixed, und the sending of the freight from Salem when It should have taken a siding and waited for the passenger. The wrecked passenger train was an annual excursion train that la run from Ionia about this time every year. It is largely patronized by employes of the railroad and their families. All told there were 800 men, women and children aboard the wrecked train. Sunday was a day of grief and mourning In the little city of Ionia, which Is 130 miles west of Detroit. Mayor John F. Bible says that he es rtlmates that one In every 50 of the city's Inhabitants were either killed or Injured In the wreck. Wholesale Prostrations by Heat. The parade of the Benevolent and Protectve Order of Elks at Philadel hia on Friday was marked by the prostration from heat of many persons, estimated by the police and hospital authorities at 2.500. Never has there been such a wholesale over coming of people in that city. For six hours the police, ambulance Burgeons and Rod Cross nurses kept on the run looking after persons who collapsed under the combined effect. ot the Bun aM humidity, aud largely Opens Thursday Morning, August 1st. Closes Saturday Night, August 10th. Cash. . Positively no goods sent on approval or charged except at in our store with or ten per cent, - than Twenty-five and in Cases Even because of the excellent service but five cases resulted fatally. The parade was on Broad street for a distance of three miles north and the same distance south ot the City hall. The paraders counter-marched the last three miles back to the City hall so that they traversed upwards of nine miles, yet few of those over come were In the line of march. Those who succumbed were among the spectators jammed along the street in a solid mass from one end of the lino to the other. . The temper ture hovered around 90 degrees and the humidity was excessive and aa a consequence people sweltered. Among the few paraders who were over come were J. Harrington Walker of St. Paul, Minn., and Henry J. Walter, exalted ruler of the Philadelphia lodge of Elks. Bob Fltzslmmons Knocked Ont. Jack Johnson stopped "Bob" Fltz Blmmons In the second round of a six-round boxing bout before the Wash ington Sporting club at Philadelphia Wednesday night. Fltzslmmons did not show a trace of his former prow ess, and It Is probable Johnson could have stopped him In the opening if he had cared to. What put Fitzsimmons out was a light right to the Jaw. The old man fell to the floor and as he made no at Iteinpt to rise the referee stopped the bout. The hissing which usually fol lows knockouts of this character was lacking, the spectators evidently tak ing compassion on the former pugil istic star. Gunboat Sandoval For Lake Ontario. Permission has been asked by the state department at Washington of the British government to station the little gunboat Sandoval, now assigned to the use of the naVal militia at New York, to Rochester for the benefit of the militia on Lake On tario. Cause of the Georgia Explosion. The naval board which Investigated the cause of the accident on the battle ship Georgia early last week, by which ten men lost their lives, finds that the charge of po;der was Ignited which ten men lost their lives Binds the charge of powder was Ignited by a "delayed flareback," which was apparently caused by the shut ting off of the air blast too soon .with a light wind blowing Into the muzzle of the gun. The first section of the charge in the second loader's arms was first Ignited. In one sense the verdict is received with distinct relief by naal officers because it shows that they have na new danger to contend with. They I.Hve experienced "Hare backs" before tnd they thought that they knew how to deal with them. No Tariff Revision Until 1909. President Roosevelt, U. S. Senator J'opklns of Illinois and II. E. Miles, representing llo Wibuouuin Tariff CASH TEN few exceptions is More, LAIIEES, Revision league, discussed the subject of tariff revision at the luncheon at Sagamore Hill Wednesday. Senator Hopkins on leaving Oyster Bay said that the conclusion was reached that no tariff revision would le undertaken until after the next presidential election. "It would be suicidal to the Repub lican party," the senator added, "to undertake a revision of the tariff during the next congress. After the presidential election I believe It will be the duty of the Republican party to revise the tariff and that it will be done." Verdict Expected Saturday Nlflht. Argument in defense of William D. Haywood began Monday morning .t Boise, Ida., and for the next two or perhaps three days E. F. Richardson and Clarence Darrow will plead foi the life of their client, who, they as sert, is innocent of any connection with the murder of Frank Steuncn berg and is falsely accused by the state of Idaho of conspiracy to kill the former governor. The Denver law yer, who with Clarence Darrow of Chicago has taken a leading part in the defense, expects to speak eight or ten hours. It Is probable that Mr. Darrow will not begin his closing arg uiiient before Wednesday morning. The las.t word will come from Senator Borah, who will speak' probably on Friday, closing up the state's side ol the case. Judge Wood will charge the Jury on Friday afternoon or more likely on Saturday morning and a ver dict is expected by Saturday night. Trust Sentences Suspended. The workhouse sentences Imposed at Toledo, Ohio, upon the two bridge trust agents, the 23 Toledo lumber men and the imposition of the $1,000 fines against the local brick men by Judge Morris In common pleas court for violations of the Valentine anti-trust law, were indefinitely sus pended by the circuit court Thurs day. The petitions In error In behalf of the sentenced men were filed Wed nesday and read by Judges Parker and Wlldman, who spent considerable time hearing the arguments. It was declared by the attorneys that the Valentine law did not stipulate where the men shall be Imprisoned. Ques tions involving the validity of the law were also presented. Judge Morris Thursday morning approved the jour nal entries formally overruling the motions to set aside the sentences and then the case was taken to the circuit court. Belle Telephone Loses Suit.

Clothier, OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA Mutual Telephone companies applied to the court for an order compelling the Rocky Mountain Bell company to furnish connections. This was resist ed by the Bell company on the grounds that the lines were built for Its patrons and not those of. compet ing companies. Judge Hunt, however, found for the complainants and said he would name a commission to fix the division of charges when such use is made of connecting lines. Mrs. Fairbanks In Auto Accident. Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, wife of the vice president, and other members of an nutomoblle party met with an accident 23 miles west of Amsterdam, N. Y., Friday, but all escaped without serious injury. The loss of a tire ditched the machine.

According to a foreign correspondent of the geological survey at Washing ton, among the most interesting fea tures of the small Island of Billiton, between Sumatra and Borneo, an is land long famous for Its rich tin mines, controlled by the Dutch government, are the "glass balls of Billiton," found among the tin ore deposit. These nat ural glass balls are round, with grooved surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc casionally found In Borneo and Java as well as in Australia. The corre spondent quoted thinks they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory thnt they are volcanic bombs. Besides, II is claimed, the glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes are quite dif ferent In their nature from the mate rial of the balls. It Is suspected thai the mysterious objects were ejected nges ago from the volcanoes of the moon nnd afterward fell upon the earth. earn en!" 1 Etymology.
