nar Mikkelsen, the Danish Arctic ex- |
plorer, and the engineer Iversen. who !
were rescued on July 17 last on the
coast of Greenland by a Norwegian
fishing vessel after having spent more
than two years in that region, looked
like wild animals when their rescuers
found them. They had spent the pre
viour winter at Buss Rock Island, and
it was there that the Norwegians
came upon them, in a cabin which
they had built.
The fishermen knocked on the door j
and Mikkelsen and Iversen rushed out,
nearly naked, and with guns in their |
hands, being under the impression
that the knocking was caused by
beasts of prey.
The two men had enough ammuni
tion to enable them at all times to ob
tain food.

EXCISE TAX BILL i
PASSES SENATE
Thirteen Republicans Support
the Democratic Measure.
j PRINT PAPER PAYS $2 A TON
; Measure Carries Repeal of Canadian
j Reciprocity and Cuts Tariff on Print
Paper—lt Also Creates a Per
manent Tariff Board.
Washington.—Democrats and thlr-
I teen Republicans united in the Senate
J and by 3ti to 18 passed the Democratic
Excise Tax bill (which in effect is an
| income tax measure,) extending the
| present tax on corporations to the
| business of individuals, private firms
! and co-partnerships
Attached to the measure, also by
j the aid of Republican votes, were
j amendments repealing the Canadian
j Reciprocity law, and fixing $2 per ton
| tariff on print paper. The establlsh
j ment of a permanent non-partisan tar
iff commission is provided also.
I Senator Borah, in a fight to have his j
j income tax bill substituted for the j
"tax on business," lost, 33 to 23, al- !
! though he mustered to his support
many of the regular Republicans, and
j four Democrats —Ashurst, Culberson,
I Hitchcock and Martine.
The receipts from the Excise bill j
are expected to make up the deficit
resulting from curtailments in the sug- j
ar levies.
I On the passage of the excise bill the I
Democrats were supported by the fol
lowing Republicans:
Bourne, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, j
Cummins, Gronna, .Tones, Kenyon, ha
Follette, Nelson, Poindexter, Towns- |
end and Works.
The measure will go back to the
! House, and a perfected measure soon
| will be laid before President Taft. j
The excise bill would levy on all
persons, firms or co-partnerships an
annual tax equal to one per cent, of
net income in excess of $5,000.
Senator Cummins's permanent tarii'f j
board amendment was attached to the '
excise bill, 38 to 29. All the Demo
crats except Pomerene, of Ohio, voted
against the tariff board, while all Re
publicans except Heyburn, of Idaho, !
supported it.
Senator Fletcher of Florida added
an amendment to the bill extending
the exemptions under the present cor- j
poration tax law to the new excise ]
law. This was adopted without a di- 1
vision It provides that religious and
fraternal organizations and benevolent
societies when incorporated, shall not ,
be subject to the tax.
Senator Bacon putin an amend
ment providing that a tax of 1 per
cent, should be imposed on the earn
ings of stock owned by one corpora
tion in another corporation, regard
less of whether the coporation of
which was thus owned, had once paid
the excise taxes. This amendment
was adopted.
CENT AND A HALF RATE LAW?
Attorney Hogan Predicts Ohio Will
Change Railroad Tariff.
Cleveland. —Attorney T. S. Hogan
predicted that Ohio soon would have
a cent and a half railroad fare law
instead of the present 2 cent law In
discussing his plans for bringing legal
proceedings against the Pennsylvania
and other railroads in Ohio Hogan |
| said the result of this action almost
certainly would be a reduction in pas
senger rates.

Frlck Opens Stores—Trolley Service
Resumed—One Track Cleared.
Pittsburgh.—Relief was sent Into
the flooded district in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties. Trolley ser
vice was resumed from Cnlontown to
Dunl.ar and the Pennsylvania Railroad j

Evans station.
The Krick Coke Co., threw open its
company's stores throughout the dis
trict to the families distressed by the
flood.
SENATOR LAFOLLETTE S
BILL PASSES SENATE
Democrats and Insurgents Unite on
Wool Tariff Measure —Presi-
dent Vetoed It In 1911.
Washington.—The Republican men
| bers of the' Senate, after achieving a
victory over the Democrats and ac
complishing, in committee of the
whole, the passing of their bill revis
ing the wool schedule in accordance
with the report of the Tariff Board,
were beaten In the end, through the
defection of Senators La Follette,
Kenyon and Clapp, the first named in
surgent being the ringleader. He re
vived the Democratic-insurgent alii
ance of last year and succeeded in ef
fecting the adoption of his bill.
The La Follette bill was adopted by
a vote of 40 to 28, ten insurgent Re
1 publicans, voting for the La Follette
measure, as follows; Senators Borah,
Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins,
I Gronna, Kenyon. La Follette, Polndex
ter and Works.
After an all-day debate, Senator
Penrose, chairman of the finance com
mittee, threw the Democrats and pro-
I gressives into confusion by introduc
; ing a wool revision bill bused on the
; findings of the tariff board.
The Senate sitting in the Commit
| tee of the Whole passed this bill by a
| vote of 34 to 32.
All of tlfe Democrats voted against
I it and the progressive Republicans.
Clapp of Minnesota, La Follette of
Wisconsin and Kenyon of lowa. All
the votes cast for the measure were
Republican votes.
This vote, however, had been taknn
in committee of the whole and La Fol
lritte, seizing upon the opportunity,
i quickly threw out the bill which he
; had introduced last year and the
Democrats immediately rallied to his
support. The vote 011 the La Follette
| bill, as a substitute for the Penrose
| bill, which had been substituted for
j the Demcoratic bill, was 39 to 27. All
| of the Democrats voted for the La Fol
lette bill and so also did all of the in
surgent Republicans, except Boui ne
j of Oregon.
The La Follette bill as it passed the
Senate provides for a duty of 33 per
; cent. 011 raw wool, with duties ranging
j from 40 t055 per cent, on the manufac
| tures of wool. This was the measure
| that served us the basis of compro
mise last session with the Democrats
of the House, and the indications are
it will again be used by Leader Under
wood pad his colleagues in sending a
wool revision bill to the White House.

Uniontown, Pa.
PROPERTY LOSS ENORMOUS
Swollen Creeks and Rivers Carry
Away Homes, Livestock, Bridges
and Railroads in Ohio and
West Virginia.
Pittsburgh.—Death end wide-spread
devastation from tremendous rains re- j
suited in Western Pennsylvania, East
ern Ohio and West Virginia. From all
sections come details telling of per
sons drowned or reported drowned, of
hundreds of buildings wrecked or j
washed away, streets torn up and
bridges swept down, crops ruined. ;
light plants put out of commission and
towns left to suffer their misery in
darkness, while transportation, tele- |
graph and telephone facilities are bad- j
ly crippled.
At Evans Station, three miles north
of Uniontown, Pa., a cloudburst sent
waters raging into the mouth of the j
Superga Nc. 2 mines. Fourteen men
were drowned like rats in a trap,
. while thirty-seven others had miracu
lous escapes from a similar death.
A few miles away, at Lemont Mine
No. 2, three other men are reported to
have been drowned in like fashion.
Up in the lied Stone Valley, near !
Brownsville, Pa., at least ten miners
were caught while at work by flood j
waters entering the mines and drown- j
ed. At .Millsboro, Pa./» seventy-five
miners hud a narrow escape when the
waters swept into the mines. All es j
caped, but not before many were ex- 1
, hausted.
For a radius of 100 miles around j
Pittsburgh there is a scene of desola
tion. Wrecked buildings are visible !
: everywhere.
! Fifty families were hiade homeless 1
$200,000 damage was done, buildings |
and bridges were washed away and
railroad traffic was suspended at Dun
bar by a cloudburst.
The upper Ohio valley, in the vicin
ity of Wheeling, VV. Va., was swept b.v
a destructive wind, rain and electrical
storm, with the loss of three lives.
Pittsburgh.—o\ IT sixty lives weru
■ claimed by the floods and cloudbursts

| Lamont, Pa., four were drowned; at !
| Elenwood, Pa., three were drowned, I
| and thirty-six lives are reported to '
have been lost in other towns of the i
two states.
Uniontown, Lemont, Mount Brad- |
| dock, Connelsville and Dunbar, Pa., j
i were inundated. In Turtle Creek Val- S
ley the damage is enormous and !
scores of families are homeless in the
upper Youghiogheny Valley. Railroad
traffic through a great territory is de- |
moralized, especially so at Uniontown, j
where the tracks of two railways were
torn from their foundations.
Dunbar is a wreck. The County ;
Commissioners estimate that nearly j
$1,000,000 damage was done there. )
Eleven business houses were swept j
away, seventy-five residences were de
stroyed, streets torn up and bridges

WORK AMONG
THE_FARMERS
State's Educational Efforts Re
stricted by Small Appropriation
TWO DAYS IN EVERY COUNTY
Four Counties Will Have Movable
Schools of More Advanced Grade—
Practical Instruction Given in
Farming and Poultry Raising.
(Special Harrisburg Correspondence.)
Harrisburg.—Four hundred days of
farmers' sessions have been arranged
for 1912-13 by Deputy Secretary of
Agriculture A. L. Martin, who is in
charge of the State's educational
work among the' farmers. This is 40
less than last season, owing to the
small appropriation. For the same
reason but three lecturers will be as
j signed to each institute, but each will
Ibe a specialist. The Institutes will
j begin November 29 and continue un
til March 16th, being allotted to coun
ties on a basis of 1,000 farmers. Every
county has at least two days of insti
tute, including Philadelphia's rural
I section, while Lancaster, which has
j the highest number of farms, has the
! most institutes. Four counties will
j have moveable schools for farmers,
I which are conducted on a more ad
j vanced grade than the institutes and
| which last four days. They will be
j for practical instruction in farming,
| poultry raising, dairy work and other
j topics. The counties selected are Erie,
j Armstrong, Columbia and Lawrence.
! The first of the schools will open
January 1 Eight counties made re
quests for the schools.
j Cow Libelers in Toils.
Since the order went, out from the
Pure Food Department to pay especial
afteiyion to milk dealers who violate
j the law in summertime the agents of
' the department have made more than
100 arrests throughout the State. De
creasing milk nutrition by the addition
of water is especially forbidden
i by law, because it cheats the purchas
ler in quantity, decreases the food
! value of the milk and is harmful to
babies. Especially in the coalregions
! is this practiced, but recent reports
i show that in agricultural counties also
! the milkmen have been using the farm
| pump. In Allegheny, Crawford, Ve-
I nango. Dauphin and other counties the
| agents have been particularly active,
i and many offenders were tripped up.
In Venango county this week two Oil
j City milk dealers were caught with
the watered milk in their cans, and
I prosecutions were ordered. In Mc
-1 Kean county two dealers, one selling
milk and the other cream, were caught
disposing of dilutions far below tho
legal amount of butter fat.
Tenor Returns from West.
Governor Tener and his fellow mem
bers of the Pennsylvania Commission
to the Panama-Pacific Exposition ar
-1 rived home from San Francisco, whith
; e.r they had gone to select and dedi
cate a site for the Pennsylvania
Building. "Pennsylvania has obtained
j what many consider the best of all the
j State building sites for the exposi-
J tion," said the Governor. The building
will command a good view of the Gold
j en Gate. The selection of this loca
j tion is due to the intelligent foresight
edness of the members of the Pennsyl
vania Society, composed of citizens of
San Francisco who were formerly resi
j dents of the Keystone State." Mem
! bers of the commission say that the
| one thing above all others which the
■ people of California want from Penn
sylvania is the exhibition of the Lib
erty Bell.
Increase in Taxation.
An increase of $7,360,093 in value oi
personal property assessed for State
i taxation, the highest of any county in
| the State outside oi' Philadelphai and
; Allegheny in years, has been reported
i to the Auditor General's department by
Montgomery's County Commissioners.
! Ten counties of the t»7 have made their
I returns and the gain on Montgomery
; alone is greater than the aggregate oi
| gains in the nine others. The total
| valuation in Montgomery county is
| $52,921,085, the figures for 1911 being
! ¥45,560,992; for 1910, $39,937,615; for
| .1909, $34,257,566, and for 1908, $31,727.-
j 665. This is the most remarkable gain
of any of the counties in the State ex-
J cept the two larger ones The Cam
( bria county figures show $6,460,070, a
i gain of $974,500 over 1911.
Instruct in Library Work.
The Pennsylvania Free Library
Commission has opened its second an
nual summer school for library work
ers at State College.
No Poison in Viscera.
Dr. George R. Moffitt, a chemist of
this city, has examined the of
Allen Green, late of Weissport, Carbon
County, whose wife is charged with
his murder. The analysis was made
at the request of the Carbon County
authorities. No poison was found in
the viscera, but traces were discover
ed in two bottles and a "Johnny cake"
found in an outhouse at the Allen
home. The lack of poison in the in
testines of the dead man, the chemist
says, does not indicate that none was
administered to the man.
