INDIANA POU5, July President
Taft put the rartlnr touch on his part
In the celebration of thU city s safe and
sans Fourth In a speech on Canadian
reciprocity at the Marion Club ban
quet tonight.
The President made hla answer to
the arguments of other Republicans
that reciprocity a he has proposed It.
Is not nod Republican doctrine.

to ronjrress by him. differed, if at all.

Col or Living Not Affected.
t
Replying to the contention that reel
proclty would be wholly at the expense
of the farmer and In the Interest of
the wage-earners of the large cities.
Mr. Taft declared that In his Judgment,
"the reciprocity agreement will not
greatly reduce the cost of living. If at
a'.I."
Atthough the sun was not consulted
by those In charge of the celebration of
the Fourth, and the temperature hov
ered around 119 on the streets, most
of the day. the President enjoyed his
part In the celebration. In spite of the
crowded programme and the fact that
his collars would not stand more than
10 minutes at a time.
The President was the guest of ex-Vlce-Presldent
Fairbanks. He had
breakfast at the Fairbanks home and
later In the morning reviewed a parade
of floats at the Indiana Soldiers' and
Sailors Monument.
Woman Struck by Bullet.
The only unpleasant Incident of the
day ocurred In front of this stand a
half hour before his arrival, when Mrs.
Harry Tutewller. occupying one of the
reserved seats, was struck on the thigh
by a spent bullet fired by some one
whom the police tonight had not Iden
tified. Mrs. Tutewller was not seri
ously hurt and the President was not
Informed of the accident.
The President arrived at the State
Fair Grounds In time to witness a pre
arranged collision between two rail
road locomotives. The two locomotives
starting under full steam on the same
track, went together at high speed
100 yards from where the President sat.
Both engines were reduced to scrap
Iron.
Issue Not Party One.
President Taft began by discussing
reciprocity with respect to the conten
tion that It la a party issue, a conten
tion with which he did not agree.
"It is said that this reciprocity cov
ers competitive products of each coun
try." said the President, "and that the
reciprocity of the former Republican
leaders was Intended to Include only a
lowering or abolition of duties on
products of other countries which did
not compete with products of this
country.
"Therefore It is ssld that the Cana
dian reciprocity, as now proposed. Is
nothing bat a Democratic measure, re
ducing or abolishing the tariff on goods
or products from Ganada that com
pete with those raised by our own peo
ple, and that It Is especially Injurious
because It is so drawn as to prejudi
cially affect the farmers of the country
ss a class.
"The Republican party In their last
National platform declared In favor of
tariff duties which would measure only
the difference In the cost of production
of articles here and of articles abroad.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
squares exactly with this doctrine.
Competition Is Nominal.
Another answer to the objection of
Republican frlenda who denounce Ca
nadian reciprocity as a heresy la that
the amount of competition which Is to
take place In our markets between
Canadian producta and those of the
Vnlted States nnder this agreement Is
very much less than they would by
their general statements have you be
lieve. In the first place, they say that
by free trade In agricultural products
we are c'vlng them a market of
90.000.000 peop'.e and taking only a
market of 1.000.000 people for the same
things, and that necessarily they de
rive greater advantage. As a matter
of fact. In the vast bulk of our agri
cultural products, they can furnish no
competition whatever, while this agree
ment admits all our products free into
Canada.
"It is said that this Canadian reci
procity agreement Is made wholly at
' the expense of the farmers and only
In the Interest of those who would have
farm products at a less price, to wit.
the wage-earners of the large cities.

circle, there wss a wild scene as the
entire army of boys, at the sound of
the "scouts' call." charged at full speed
toward him. each of the patrols shout
ing Its own peculiar cell as It advanced.
Then the "alert" sounded and. like
clockwork, they all stood still and si
lent for a few moments to enable them
to recover their breath, after which
they sang In wonderful unison two of
their popular Scout choruses.
The King expressed his srratineation

Disappointed Crowd About to Throw
Aeroplane and -Aviators Into Yel
lowstone When Troops Come.
GLENDIVE, Mont., July 4. (Spe
cial.) A company of the state militia
today, by quick action and , pointed
bayonets, prevented an angry crowd
headed b a number of cowboys from
running an aeroplane into the Yellow
stone River, because It did not fly.
Felix Schmiclt. a Chicago aviator, and
his mechanician, Eugene Grubbin, fled
panic-stricken .-. when the cowboys
yelled for them to be thrown Into the
river' with the airship. ,
Major D. J. Donohue, of the Second
Regiment, Montana National Guard,
saved the day for the airship. ' .Major
Donohue sprang Into prominence last
Sunday by Impersonating the Immortal
Custer In a vrVid reproduction of Cus
ter's last battle with several hundred
Crow Indians. Realizing the serious
ness of the situation, he ordered the
soldiers to fixe their bayonets and
charge back the, crowd. ' which already
had the machine half way to the river,
and was traveling swiftly.
Several thousand spectators had
waited for several hours for Schmidt to
fly and when word was announced
there would be no flights, a cowboy
yelled to dump the thing into the river.
A lariet whistled through the air. en
circled itself about the propellor of the
the aeroplane, a hundred hands grabbed
the rope and with a cowboy astride
his horse, a quick trot was made for
the Yellowstone's bank.
A bugle called the troops Into action
and with a detail guarding the machine
after Its rescue It was qqulckly at
tached by the celebration committee
and It Is predicted the City of Glendlye
will soon own an aeroplane.
Miss Cosey Smith came here as the
alleged owner of the machine.

SAN' FRANCISCO, July 4. The

arm, toUing off the . fatal. 10 seconds
over the writhing and unconscious
body of Owen Moran, of England,
brought victory to Ad Wolgast in the
13th round of today's International bat

It was a clean knockout and the de
cisive victory was cleanly earned by
the rugged strength and terrific pun

Right uppercuts to the stomach, fol
lowed by a left hook to the Jaw forced
the game little English fighter to take
the count for the first time In his 11
years In the ring.
Moran Becomes Tired.
Moran came up undistressed for the
unlucky 13th round, although It was
plain he was tiring. Wolgast met him
with a well-timed rush and forced his
way to close quarters.
Moran checked him with a left Jab,
but was backed against the ropes In
his own corner. ,
Suddenly, Wolgast whipped his right
arm free from the clinch and. swinging
from his hip, sent his glove crashing

OAKLAND. Cal., July 4. The earth
quake of Saturday afternoon was the
severest that has ever been experi
enced on Mount Hamilton and the
damage done is greater than that oc
casioned by any former shock. The
chief damage to the scientific instru
ments is the destruction of the case
of the fine Riefler clock and more or
less serious damage to the working
parts.
In addition to this, the 36-lnch tele
scope was moved on its concrete pier
about three-quarters of an inch to the
south. The instrument, however, has
been replaced and has suffered no
harm.

prostrate and suffering;.
It was the third day of an ascending
scale of temperatures and the un
welcome news is offered tonight that
the top of the hill may not yet have
been reached.
There was rain In the far northwest
and a temporary lessening or the
thermal stress, hut from that region
comes information that six deaths
made up the tribute of mortality.
Chicago 04 at Midnight.
In Chicago, which seems to be a spe-
citl victim, the official Government
thermometer in the lofty dome of the
Federal building registered at one time
102. This Is a rise of three degrees
ovr the maximum of Tuesday. With
one exception, in June, 1901, it was the
highest official temperature ever re
corded in this city. In street thermom
eters the mercury at midnight Is stand-
lni firm at 94. Another night 01
sleeplessness and suffering Is certain,
Tonight there is. vague promise of local
rains tomorrow, but these are expected
to be accompanied by high tempera
tures. Dossibly even more humid and
cruel than those of the last three days.
Chicago"s toll of death today was 27.
Horses seemed to suffer more than
their masters.
Babies Fall br Scores.
Despite cooling breezes which sprang
up overnight. 20 deaths were recorded
In New York. Philadelphia had n!n
and Pittsburg 15. and in all three cities
there were hundreds of prostrations ol
a serious character. In the deatn lists
due directly to the heat no account is
taken of babies who are dying by
scores. The country at large reports
an aggregate of more than 50 drown
ings for the day, which properly belong
In the heat casualties, as the victims
were slain while trying to escape from
the torridity.
Kansas City reports four deaths from
heat and a score of prostrations, some
of them serious. Topeka, Sedalia and
Atchison, Kan., sweltered under a tem
perature of 104. . Texas points came
within the scope of the superheated
area today, and temperatures went
skyrocketing.
Men Driven to Suicide.
In St .Louis street thermometers
registered as high as 108 and 110. Two
men, driven mad by the heat, took their
own lives. The official temperature
was 101. Pitsburg experienced temper
atures quite as high as those at St.
Louis. All through Ohio, Indiana. Illi
nois and Southern Michigan, Fourth of
July celebrations were curtailed. Chi
cago shares with many others the dan
ger ql a dearth of ice. Emergency de
liveries are credited with saving many
lives in the hospitals, and the ice com
panies have sent out pleas to private
families and hotels to curtail the con
sumption of tee as much as possible.
It was a Godsend to the poor that they
did not have to work In factories today.
