Pension Bill Sent Back to House. The senate passed the Panama canal bill by a vote of 47 to 13. The bill as it emerges from the sen ate not only disregards Great Brit ain's protest against free tolls for American ships, but contains radical Jeglslation affecting several of the big systems of the country. The bill will compel the divorce ment by the Southern Pacific Rail road company of its steamship lines !f these boats are to go through the Panama canal. The Southern Pacific has millions of dollars invested .n shipping and has been making plans for an expansion along this lino with the opening of the great waterway on the Isthmus. Further, the legislation which emerges from the senate puts in Jeopardy the New Haven road's ex tensive holdings In coastwise linos and the holdings of the New York Central and other roads in shipping on the Great Lakes. Many millions of dollars are Invested by the New Haven In tho lines which ply up and down Long Island sound. President Mollen of that road has testified that It would be impossible to dispose of these lines under favorable conditions. The Interests of the railroads in lake shipping is almost as extensive. . The Panama canal bill as It came from the house contained a prohibi tion against the ownership or con trol by any railroad of a steamship line and fixed July 1, 1914, as the date In which this control should have passed absolutely from the rallroadr,. The senate modi lied the house pro vision so that it would apply only io ships "operated through the Panama canal." In lieu of the flat prohibition which tho house had against all ownersh'n the senate also adopted an amend ment empowering the interstate com merce commission to determine on Its own motion whether the owner ship by any railroad of a steamshi.i line was prejudicial to the public in terests and to compel, if necessary, the divesting of the steamship hold ings. The bill as It was passed by the senate also retains an amendment ad mitting foreign built vessel to Ameri can registry In the event that tho vessels are owned by Americans. This amendment opens the shipyards of the world to Americans and amounts to free trade in ships. Senators Root and Lodge, of the opinion that the granting of free tolls to American ships constitutes a vio'a tion of the Hay-Patincefote treaty, mado a final effort to have theso amendments stricken from the bill. They failed. The amendment grant ing free tolls to vessel of American register engaged In foreign trade was adopted by a vote of X to 2!). The owners of the vessels In order to en Joy this privilege, however, are obliged to agree that such vessels may he taken by the United States In time of war or other public emergency on payment of the fair actual value. Wool Bill Gets A Veto. President Taft vetoed the wool re vision bill sent to him as the result of the coalition between the Demo crats and the Republican insurgents. The president takes a firm stand for revision based on scientific data furnished by the tariff board. He holds that most of the rates in tho Underwood-La Follette compromise bill are so low they would, if enacted into law, result in Irretrievable injury to tho woolen industry and throw thousands of workmen out, of employ ment. Tho president In sending tho bill back to congress appeals, however, to both sides to drop partisanship and In the Interest of relieving the peoplo of an unnecessary burden, return to him a wool bill based on the findings of the tariff board. If congress will accept this challenge, the president assures them he will promptly give the measure his approval. Vacation For Trust Probers. The house Judiciary committee f.hich Is authorized to Investigate the trusts decided to abandon all Investi gations until next winter. This de cision practically means that the beef trust will be secure from an Investiga tion of Its IiIkIi meat prices until after the presidential election lit least. Would Let Cities Mine Coal. Secretary of the Interior Fisher has recommended to congress tho passage of legislation that will enable cities to obtain and operate their own coal mines by gift of tbi government. Cities west of the Missouri river would be vitally affected by the pro posed legislation. Senate Defeats Pension Bill. The light to pass the $1."pO,onn,flnl pension appropriation bill was lost by one vote In the senate and the meas ure was sent back to the house for further conference.

FALLING TANK i CRUSHES THREE Score ol Girls Injured In Pitts burg Cigar Plant MAD PANIC ON FIRE ESCAPES Water Tank Which Wat Receiving First Test Crashes Through Roof and Seventh Floor of Building. Three girls were killed and nearly a score of others seriously injured when a great water tank plunged through the roof of the United American Cigar company's plant, Twenty-eighth and Smallman streets, Pittsburg. The tank, which was filled for the first time, fell through tho roof and seventh floor and lodged on the sixth floor. Nearly 200 girls were at work on the sixth floor of the building when the great water reservoir crashed through the celling. The dead: Iva Lawton, seventeen years old. crushed to death by the weight of the water tank and the floor above her. Agnes Niedzelska, seventeen years old, crushed to death. Un identified foreign girl, twenty-threo years old. body badly crushed. The girls were at their tables when the sound of rending timbers sounded above them. The ceiling yawned as they looked and the tank came hurl ing through, crushing the life from three of the girls Instantly and wounding a score more as they sat at their work. Then came srenej of mad panic. Those uninjured, ignorant of the catas troplie, struggled to the fire escapes and exits, each expecting the building to collapse. Sisters were separated in the mad rush, where each girl fought to save herself. On the fire escapes, six stories above the ground, the battle continued. Smaller girls fought to keep from being hurled to the ground. Screaming, panting, striking r.nd scratching, the mob struggled down the narrow stairs, its numbers augmented at each floor. Few walked down that last flight of steps. They rolled, and at the bottom drew themselves from the heap of struggling companions. Fire apparatus and two patrols with policeman came. Every ambulance In the city within reach of the scene ar rived shortly afterward. Even then automobiles and wagons were pressed into service to carry the wounded to hospitals. "We didn't have a bit of warning." said Margaret Cox, one of the girls to get out safely. "That part of the floor came through all nl once and the girls under It did not have a chance to escape. The girls all yelled at once and started to run for the windows. I knew I should be running too, but simply couldn't for a while. When I did get started down I thought I should never reach the ground. It was awful until I knew my sisters were sale." NO REVOLUTION NEEDED Says Wilson, Accepting Democratic Nomination Gradual Tariff Lowering. "Our task now is to effect a great readjustment and get the forces of the whole people once more into play. We need no revolution; we need no excited change; we need only a new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel." So spoke Wood row Wilson In his speech of acceptance of the Dem ocratic nominal ion for president. Speaking on the tariff the governor said : "When we act wo should act with caution and prudence, like men who know what they are about, and not like those in love with a theory. It is obvious that the changes we make should be made only at such a ra.o ami in such a way as will least inter fere with the normal and healthful course of commerce and manufacture. "Hut we shall not on that account act with timidity, as if we did not know our own minds, for we are cer tain of our ground and of our object. There should be an immediate r vlsion and it should lie downward, un hesitatingly and steadily downward." TWO KILLED IN WRECK Head-on Collision on Single Track Near Vienna, Pa.
