."Morrison, was Reaching a country school

Mr. Campbell. "Hls "home waa near Eagle,
down on the Missouri Pacific Later he
bought a handful of type. from Otto May
field and published the Eagle Beacon. Mor
rison did not do badly at It, cither. He
made something . of a success there and
then came to Weeping Water, where, with
Mayfleld, I was Interested In 1S97 In , pub

EERLIN, Feb 3. It was officially an
rtuueed today that the tariff negotiations
had made such progress that a bill for the
regulation of trade relations between Ger
many and the Utited States had been
parsed by the federal council and would be
Introduced In the Reichstag this afternoon.
Assuming that the measure sanctioned
by the council will be adopted by the legis
lative body. It may be regarded as certain
that Germany's general tariff , will not be
applied to American imports after Feb
ruary 7, as would have been the case had
the diplomatic exchanges failed.

carrying nearly 118.800,000, a net increaae of

lomatic and consular appropriation bill,
adjourning after being in session less than
five hours.
Th9 senate devoted the greater part of
the day to the consideration of the postal
savings bank bill, agreeing to several
amendments. The Lodge food investigation
resolution waa reported from the committee
on finance and tha fact that It reoetved
so much more prompt consideration than
the resolution of Senator Elklns on the
same subject waa interpreted by the West
Virginia senator as a discrimination
against him. He made, a speech com
plaining seriously : of. the , treatment and
asserted that It was Intended to protect
the trusta and the arlff against the In

Prevent Publicity.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-rresident Taft
today announced that he did not consider
an amendment to the corporation tax law
necessary In order to prevent rival con
cerns from obtaining Information as to

from S. p. Meld, secretary of the Mer
chants' association of New York, who
asked that tha publicity feature of the
law be eliminated. '
President Taft said . it was necessary
for the government to have access to the
books, ' etc.. of the various corporations,
but that Information thus gained would be
treated aa confidential. He thought suffi
cient protection could be given to manu
facturers by a discreet administration of
the law and he said he would take tha
matter up with Attorney Goneral Wicker
sham and Secretary of the Treasury Mo-Veagh.

Crashes -Into

Paulhan't AeyopUne Badly Wrecked
and Aviator Has Narrow Escape
from Serious Injury.
DENVER, Feb. 3. Louts Paulhan had a
narrow escape from death today, when his
Farman biplane collided with the fence
guarding the race track at Overland park,
smashing through It and came down in a
heap of wreckage on the track. Paulban
was thrown headlong, but beyond a se
vere shaking up escaped unharmed.
Before the accident Paulhan had suc
cessfully guided bis machine up into the
rare mountain air and had circled thai
Overland race track " a dozen times. He
then came to the ground and it was an
nounced that the aviator would attempt
to fly over the bunlness district of Denver,
three or four tnl'es away, and return.
Rut the runwav for his machine, not
over 140 yards in length, and cramped by
the race track fence and by an Irrigation
oltch , running diagonally across the
grounds, proved too short. The machine
left the ground too close to the fence,
struck the fence rebounded and rlchochct
,ted on the bank of the ditch, breaking one
of the starting wheels. Paulhan shut off
his motor and brought the machine to a
stcj. '
The machine was repaired and again
Pauhan attempted a flight. The blplune
was not three feet from the ground when
the end of the runway waa reached and
the machine crashed ' through the fence
Into the ditch, rebounded and came down
a mass of wreckage. Paulhan was fairly
catapulted from his seat, but he alighted
In the soft snow, escaping serious Injury.
A dozen or more people were knocked
down by the machine when it tore through
the fence, but no one' was Berolusly hurt.

NEW TORK, Feb. 1-Tho onslaught of
an aggressive ( bear " party, together with
gathering distrust of the tndustrlnl business
and political outlook, brought about violent
declines on the New Tork Stock exchange
today, with United States Steel heading
the downward movement. In all salos
totalled 1.673.000 shares, with a fourth of
this aggregate In Steel shares, which early
In the afternoon broke to 78. the lowest
level reached Since last September. The
price today represented a break of 3 points
from yesterday s closing point of 4H from
yesterday's high, of 1314 points from Janu
ary 3, when the high record of this year
was touched, and of 17V from the price on
October ,2. Chief Interest centered In tho
decline of Steel, but there was violent
liquidation of nearly every stock In the
list, carrying prices down from 8 to 8
points, with sensational breaks between
sales. ,
Rally Near Close. .
Because of the nervousness brokers cau
tioned their clients to remain within call,
ready to put up additional v margins. If
necessary, and many whose accounts were
on the "ragged edge" closed out, taking
from their losa rather than risk further
declines. The net price changes do not
register the full effeot on prices, owing to
the effective rally which occurred In the
closing hour, when the bears bought
freely to garner the day's handsome profits
on the short side.
At the low point, which came early In
final hour, declines ran all the- way
to 3 points.
The violence of the movement and the
volume of the market, following so pro
longed and extensive a decline as has oc
curred, caused the day to be regarded as
a probable culmination of the decline, with
a reversal likely to follow.

TOLEDO, Feb.. 3. Hope of. an amicable
adjustment- was expressed by Thomas L.
Lewis, president of the miners,' While act
ing as temporary, chairman- of, the Jofnt
wage scale conference of the operators and
miners or the Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl
vania district, which opened here this
afternoon.
John H. Jones, president of the Pltts-
burg-Buffaio Coal company and one of the
principal operators present, expressed the
belief that a peaceable agreement will be
reached and a strike avoided.
After the disposition of the preliminary
business, the conference ad.lourned until
tomorrow morning to await the report of
the -credentials committee, which dead
locked on admitting to the conference the
Illinois miners. In tho ahRonce of- the Illi
nois operators. A few scattering "noes"
on motion to make President Lewis tem
porary chairman of the conference were
the only evidence of the controversy Just
finished In the miners' convention.
President Lewis made an unqualified
declaration for the repeal of "so-called
anti-conspiracy laws," which, he said,' cir
cumscribe the operators so thnt they "con
stantly dread being dragged Into the
courts."
He said that when the miners and oper
ators get together for the uplifting of the
Industry there will be less risk of Invest
ment and more safety for the workmen,
He said that a demand should be made of
the railroads that they pay the mine
owners more money for the coal they con
sume, that the latter might spend more
money for the protection of their em
ployes. -The miners In their convention at In
dianapolis made, a demand for a wae In
crease from 90 cents to $1 a ton. While
they have not formulated their demand, It
has been generally understood that the
operators want a decrease of 10 cents a
ton. 'v -
With the understanding that any agree
ment here will be a baa's of settlement In
all other bituminous districts, and the
declaration of the miners that If the con

them to be courteous. A little patience and forbearance, on,
both sides will result in pleasanter relations between pas-'
sengers and employes.
