The Fulton County News McConnellsburg, Pa. A BLOW TO TIPPING. Tbe tipping evil has boon dealt l rushing blow In the place whore, thbove all others, it has flourished ram' bantly In this country. Id New York, where every personal service, no mat W how slight nn. I well paid' for, call! lor a gratuity, the discovery has been glade that the real beneficiary Is no always the person the gift Is Intended for, but. a kind of small trust which, feu been formed to rake In this easj inoney. In many places of public rej sort In New York, free checkrooms art provided. From the majority of thosi bom ho serves each check boy re! Mires a tip. A concern came to tbi tront not long ago and contracted wttb the proprietors of many of these place! to take charge of the check rooms. Tlx reet was easy, says tbe Cleveland Leader. The boys were paid two 01 lour dollars a week for their work, and ordered to turn In all their tips. Tbej were provided with pocketless unl forms and were under tbe eye of othei employes, who acted as cashiers and monitors. Each boy was expected t collect at least five dollars a day. 01 pourse, now these checkrooms will have to go. But New York and all th feet of the country has again bad Hi fcUtentlon drawn to the fact that tip ping Is a European custom, born ot Eerrlle conditions and entirely out ol armony with American pride, eelf re gtpect and Independence. I According to figures prepared by th poroner's offlce. 185 homicides occurred pa this city In 1910. One hundred and dght persons were shot to death and practically all the other killings wer tine to the tolerance with which tbi public looks on the vicious habit ol tarrying concealed weapons, says ths Hew York Tribune. It Is a melancholy taot that the restrictions placed on tbe Pale and use of deadly weapons are practically nil In effect. Any purchaser tartth the price can arm himself with revolver, the favorite tool of the crim inal about to commit a burglary or rather crime of violence, and of the paranoiac about to resent an Imagin ary grievance. Instead of compelling the buyer to show a license, present references of good character and other wise establish his responsibility, the community permits him to equip him elf and roam at large as a potential laker of life. Reports from the Cooper hospital In Camden give surprisingly gratifying re mits In the treatment of tetanus.

LIKE MARTIAL 111 IN Death Penalty for Raiding and Pillaging. MOVE TO END REVOLUTION. Reviving a Provision of the Mexican Constitution, the Government Will Set Aside for Six Montho Cer tain Personal Guarantees. Mexico City. Thoroughly aroused by the spread of brigandage and van dalism, Incidental to the rcvolutiou led by Francisco I. Madero, und de termined to protect property, the Mexican government has begun to wage against the lawless element a pitiless war of extermination. Reviving a provision of the Mexi can constitution, one not used for 15 years, and acting under Its authoriza tion, the government will set aside for six months certain persona) guarantees. Those detected in the act of highway robbery, of raiding a village or farm, or train wrecking, oi cutting telegraph or telephone wlrei or even of removing a spike from a railroad track or throwing a stone at a train will be summarily shot by those making the arrest. The bill providing for this drastic measure was sent to the permanent commission of the Federal Congress tt was signed by Miguel MacEdo, subsecretary of the Department ol the Interior, and clearly states that this enactment Is the wish ot Presi dent Diaz. The decision to ask for the suspen sion of personal guarantees provided for by the constitution, was reached by the President In conference witb the members of his cabinet. This provision of the constitution Is one calculated to permit the Fed eral government to put Into effect al times of extraordinary conditions a form of government approaching that of martial taw. Under the constitu tion, the government may go further and declare martial law. The pro vision Invoked does not abrogate the powers of the civil authorities, but It does deny, in cases of certain crimes the right of formaltrlal to the ac cused. Possibly the nearest opproach to this provision of the Mexican consti tution, found in the constitution ol the United States, Is that which per mits, under certain conditions, the withdrawal of the habeas corpus. In his note to commission Mr Macedo Indirectly quotes President Dlai as saying that he regrets pro foundly the necessity of resorting tc means so extreme. The condition! now, however, are such that he deemi the safeguarding of property of such great Importance that It Justifies re course to the extreme provisions ol the constitution. Under the measure It Is provided that where the offender is arrested In the act the men making the arresl shall need no other proof than the fact of the offense to shoot him. AMERICAN HELD PRISONER Inaurrectoa May Involve Mexican Government With U. S. Washington, D. C. K. C. Hayes, an American, has been taken prison er by the Mexican revolutionists in Chihuahua. This Information reached the State Department In a telegram from American Vice-consul Leonard, at Chihuahua, who Mated that, whlk he had bnd no communication with Hayes, he did not consider him in danger. The detention of Hayes, it Is said, marks a departure In the previous policy of the Insurrectos, who, It it pointed out here, have refrained in the past from Interference with Americans in the slightest degree. EXPORTS TAKE A JUMP. February's Figures Almost Double That of Last Year. Washington, D.

Washington, D. C. By affixing his signature to the contract for the manufacture and printing of stamped envelopes and stamped newspaper wrappers Postmaster General Hitch' cock put an end for at least four years from July 1 next to a contest that has waged Intermittently for more than a quarter of a century. The contract is made by the Post office Department with Myron C. Tay lor, president of the Mercantile Cor poration, of New York city, and calls for the delivery to the government of such stamped envelopes and stamped newspaper wrappers as It may re quire during the next four years. The Mercantile Corporation Is the present contractor, but tbe prices to be paid by the government for the supplies during the next four years will effect ft saving of $297,880, based upon the number of envelopes and wrappers used In 1910. During the last fiscal year 40,000, 000 wrappers and 1,600,000,000 en velopes were supplied to the govern ment. The selling value of the stamped envelopes was $30,287,580, the postage or stamp value was $28, 271,240, leaving for cost of manufac ture and distribution $2,016,340. The contract cost of manufacture was $1, 277,329, leaving the cost of distribu tion by the government $739,010. In addition the stamped envelopes are entitled, according to the figures of the Postofflce Department to a credit of nearly $100,000 a year, which rep resents the cost of adhesive stamps, which would be used If stamped en velopee were not supplied. EXPLOSIONS WRECK VILLAGE Chicago Thought There Had Been An Earthquake. Chicago. An explosion that wrecked the plant ot the Laflln-Rand Powder Company, In Pleasant Prairie, Wis., caused the loss of at least one life, destroyed the town In which It was situated and created a vibration that was left for a radius ot 60 miles. Tbe property loss Is estimated at $1, 800,000. Chicago was shaken from Its most western suburbs to the shore of Lake Michigan and from North End to South End. Belief that an earth quake had been experienced was al most universal for a time. Windows were shattered and houses shaken throughout the 30 miles of Chicago's length. Although Pleasant Prairie is six miles west of Kenosha, which is 60 miles due north ' from Chicago, the concussion was heard and the vibra tions felt not only in all parts of this city but at Indian Harbor and other points 20 miles south and southwest of here. People In the county building In this city felt the huge granite struc ture shake and many of them ran to the street, fearing either an earth quake or that the building bad been shaken by some explosion. BALLINGER IS OUT AT LAST President Taft Accept Hie Resig nation. Washington, D. C. Richard A.

U.S. WOULD END REVOLUTION. Forces Sent to Form Solid Military Wall Along the Rio Grande to Stop Filibustering and Smuggling. Purpose of America's War like Move. The mobilization of 20,000 troops on the border and the as sembling of battleships within firing distance of Mexico, It was announced from President Taft's special train, are movements de signed by the Administration to crush the rebellion In Mexico. United States troops have been sent to form a solid military wall along the Rio Grande to stop fili bustering, to see that there is no further smuggling of arms and men and to be In readiness to cross the boundary to secure these results If deemed neces sary. It was said the sudden move was the result cither of unoffi cial representations of foreign governments regarding the situa tion In Mexico or the intimation that several of the European powers, were sounding each oth er as to the desirability of mak ing representations to the Unit ed States at an early date. It was said that the matter was put up to America in such a way as to call for the quickest action, If the Monroe doctrine was to be maintained. It Is estimated that the cost of operations on the border will prompt President Taft to ask Congress for an emergency fund at the opening of the special session. Washington, D. C. That the Ad ministration has decided to dissemble no longer its reasons for the sudden and unprecedented movement of troops to the Mexican border, Is In dicated by the following statement: "All doubt as to the purpose of the government in Bending 20,000 troops to the Mexican border has at last been swept away. The United States has determined that the revolution in the republic to the south must end. The American troops have been sent to form a solid military wall along the Rio Grande to stop filibustering and to see that there is no further smug gling of arms and men across the In ternational boundary. "It Is believed that with this source of contraband supplies cut off, the In surrectionary movement, which has disturbed conditions generally for nearly a year without accomplishing anything like the formation of a re sponsible Independent government will speedily come to a close. "There is a general belief that the rapid movement of troops Into Texas and Southern California will so speedily accomplish its purpose that the net results In the end will consti tute a valuable lesson in quick mobi lization of an effective fighting force that will prove a revelation to the country at large, to the critics of the army In particular and a Justification of the diplomatically worded ex- A Place for Tawney. Washington, D. C. The interna tional joint commission to define and regulate the boundary waters be tween the United States and Canada, will be made up of former Represen tative James A. Tawney, of Minne sota, chairman; former Senator Thomas A. Carter, of Montana, and Frank S. Streeter, Republican "nat ional committeeman from New Hamp shire. The commission Is to exist under a treaty of May 13, 1910. The Canadian members have not yet been named. Bankers' Pardons Upto President. Washington, D. C. The release or continued Imprisonment of Charles W. Morce, the former "Ice King," and John R. Walsh, former Chicago bank er, probably will be decided by Presi dent Taft during his summer trip. The pardon petitions of the two men were sent to the President from the Department of Justice Thursday. It was reported here that Attorney Gen eral Wickersham had suggested that clemency be extended in both cases. CHAIN GUARD ALONG BORDER LOCUST NIGHTMARE planatlons that have been given out from official sources in Washington. "The Washington government un expectedly found Itself confronted by the necessity of throwing an army along the border line of Mexico to stop the source of supply to the revo lutionists and to be In a position to Invade Mexico at a moment's notice In the event of the denth of President Dlax or any other untoward circum stance which might precipitate gen eral fighting or rioting. "It was represented at the State Department that the United States must act and act quickly If the Mon roe doctrine was to be maintained. Foreign Interests In Mexico naturally look to the United States for protec tion under that doctrine. "Just what part the Diaz govern ment has played In recent events has not yet been disclosed. From time to time protests have been made to Washington regarding the violation of the neutrality laws along the bor der. Such protests, however, would not ordinarily call out such a force as has been rushed toward Texas and the Mexican frontier. "There is no telling, at this time, how long the big army sent to the Mexican frontier will have to remain there. It will not be withdrawn un til the revolution has been crushed out and until conditions In Mexico are much more stable than they now are bolleved to be. "The peninsula of Lower California occupies a position of great strategic Importance to the United States. That commands Magdalena Bay. If law lessness and disorder should become the rule there and Mexico should be unable to prevent the formation of a new republic, It Is not beyond the range of possibility that the United States would undertake to maintain order, as it has done In the past in Cuba. "The Administration desires to be ready for this emergency. Hence, the sending of war vessels to San Diego. "These, In the main, are reasons for the great military movement that has caused the world to wonder. It can be stated, however, with em phasis, that the government has no information to the effect that serious trouble In Mexico Is likely to break out at once. If It should, President Taft would not be going off for a vacation. Mr. Dickinson, Secretary of War, would not be planning a trip to Panama, and Mr. Knox, Secretary of State, would be at his desk In the State Department." AMERICANS MADE PRISONERS Thirty-Six Taken In Defeat of Insur rectos Four Are Killed In Battle. El Paso, Tex. A message from Cusas Grandes, Mcx., gives particu lars of the disastrous defeat suffered by the Insurrecto force under Pro visional President Francisco I. Ma dero. The battle was fought near Casas Grandes, and resulted, accord ing to the dispatch, in the retreat of the Insurrectos, after a loss of 200 killed and wounded, 300 saddle horses, machine guns and 12 wagon loads of supplies and ammunition. Thirty-six Americans, fighting with the insurrectos, were taken prison ers. The Americans were In the front of the battle, and four of them were found dead In one heap. The Insurrectos stood up under a can nonading for 12 hours before they retreated. Col. Samuel Garcia Guel lar, of President Diaz's staff, com manded the Federal forces. To offset this hard blow to the In surrectos the official report of Gen. Luis Torres, military commander of the region around Coral, Sonora, shows a severe defeat of the Federal forces under Gen. Lorenzo Torres at Cumuripa Monday. No Massacre of Jews. Washington, D. C. Recent rumors that a number of Jews had been mas sacred at Kiev are untrue, according to a cablegram received by the State Department from the American Con sul at Odessa, Russia. The consul said that there was no foundation for the report and that all was quiet In the vicinity of Kiev. The consul's report was made In reply to a cabled Inquiry from the State Department, which was sent at the solicitation of a number of prominent Jews in this country. Rev. Dr. Aked Resigns. New York. The Rev. Charles F. Aked has resigned the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church and will accept the call to the First Con gregational Church, of San Francis co. His resignation, effective April 9, was accepted by the board of trustees after Dr. Aked had explained briefly In line with his announcement of last Sunday that he saw no great future for his efforts here. Dr. Aked re fused to comment on hie resignation. OVER A BILLION I Tawney Gives Aggregate of Appropriations. CREATION OF ONE COMMITTEE Statement by Chairman of Recent Appropriation Committee and Representative Livingston, Democratio Member, Washington, D, C. Appropria tions at tbe last session of Congress aggregated $1,025,4 89,662, according to the statements issued by former Representatives - Tawney, of Minne sota, and Livingston, of Georgia, who were respectively chairman and rank ing Democrat of the House Appropri ations Committee in the last Con gress. Mr. Tawney says this is less than $1,000,000 in excess of the to tal estimates of President Taft, on which the appropriations are based, pays high tribute to the executive for good faith in scrutinizing estimates and computes that the surplus of revenues next year wilt be not less than $26,642,000, which with any part of the Treasury rash balance may be applied to the sinking fund. Against this Mr. Livingston says the last session's record demonstrat ed that until the Democratic party comes into complete control of the government "this billion-dollar n'Hrk for a session's appropriations, estab lished four years ago at tne msi elu sion of the Sixtieth Congress, can not substantially be lowered, if low ered at all." Would Have One Commltte. Mr. Tawney renews his recom mendation for the consolidation of the appropriating jurisdiction of the House under a single committee of J sufficient size to be representative of all sections of the country and of ' all branches of the public service. , Eight committees now consider and report appropriation bills, and Mr. ; Tawney says no reform Is more im j portant. The Committee on Appro priations, which reports more than half of the total appropriations of I Congress, reported during the first regular session of the last Congress $16,393,926 less than the estimates, while the appropriations by all the other appropriating committees, ac cording to Mr. Tawney, were $27, 931,402 In excess of the estimates. Mr. Tawney claims that if this con solidating reform had been effected it would have saved $62,000,000 at that session alone. Mr. Tawney says one of the evils incident to this divided appropria tion Jurisdiction Is the practice of making appropriations Immediately available, large portions of many ap propriation bills being In fact, design ed to cover up deficiencies In the preceding year. He points out that the aggregate for the past session, which includes , $4,000,000 for the Appalachian forest reserve, is $2, 600,000 less than the aggregate for the preceding session of Congress and nt the aggregate the entire last Congress, which exact aggregate Is not given In his statement, Is an Increase of $600,000 over the pre ceding Congress. Six Billion In Six Six Year. Mr. Tawitey says that In the six years of his chairmanship of the Ap propriations Committee the estimates have amounted to $6,061,267,132, of which Congress granted all but $165, 662,264. Declnring that the Democrats want to save the people of the country from the danger which threatens them because of the rampant expend iture of their money that has been going on for the past 12 years, Mr. Livingston, In his statement, con tends that nilllta.lsm is a menace and that Democratic accession will prevent national bankruptcy. He says It is a superhuman task to re store expenditure to a normal level,' because of the enormous liability fas tened upon the Treasury by the stat utory Increase on the enllted strength of the Army and Navy fourfold since Mr. Roosevelt was so unhappily call ed to the executive office of the Re public. Sophie Kritchman Insane. Hartford, Ct. Sophie Kritchman, the young Union City music teacher confined In state prison for man slaughter, has been adjudged Insane, and, on order of Governor Baldwin, has been transferred to the Con necticut Hospital for the Insane, at Middleton.
