TAFT TO SEE TESTS. GERMANY IS FAVORABLE TO TREATY WITH U. S. Washington Almost in the same hour that the senate committee for eign relations reported Wednesday to the senate ita convention that the re cent negotiate«! arbitration treaties between thia country and Great Bri tain and France were ‘•breeders of bitterness and war.” Germany, through its ambassador here, was an nouncing ita desire to be a party to a similar arbitration compact with the United States. Germany made known to Secretary Knox, through Ambassador Von Barn storf?. its acceptance of the general principles of arbitration as laid down in the secretary's draft, recently sub mitted. A few exceptions were note«!, however, and Count Von" Bern- storfT will sail for Germany to consult his government further. He will re turn in October. Insurance Probs Orows. Detroit More representatives of companies under investigation were quizzed by the special committee se lected by €the national convention of insurance commissioners to probe ’the methods of certain industrial insur ance concerns doing business in the United States. The committee's re port is expected to be ready Thursday or Friday. It is said that something in the nature of a report may be read at the national convention of state in surance commissioners in Milwaukee next eek. "Be Gentle" Editor Fights. St. Louie Albert Solomon, of this city, editor of the Humanitarian, in which he admonishes everybody to be kind and gentle, is under arrest on the charge of beating hia wife and fight- ing with his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law is locked up on a cross chargs of disturbing Solomon's peace. LIVERPOOL IN Soldiers TERROR. and Mobs Have Battles in Streets. TOGO VIEWS NIAGARA. Pitched Japanese Liverpool A reign of terror exists here and troops are pouring into the city to |>ut down disorder. A special guard has been detailed to protect the landing stage of the trans-Atlantic steamers which, it is asserted, the rioters have planned to destroy by fire. Five prison vans escorted by 50 soldiers who were carrying riot pris oners from the police court to Walth am jail were attacked by 3.""" m«-m l>era of the roughest class in Vauxhall street. The mob threw missiles of every description and in defending themselves the hussars fired. At first blanks were used by the soldiers, and then ball cartridges One man was killed and many persona were severely wounded The troops then charged with drawn sabers and clear«-«! the street. So daring were the rioters that one of them trie«! to unhorse an officer, who wax obliged to use his revolver, wounding the man severely. Another less serious affray in which the troops were again coin ¡ie I led to fire took place in Bond street. Only a few persons were injured. CUT COST OF LIVING. Immensa Fruit Crop Will Bring Priest Way Down. Chicago Stop eating meats and vegetables and live on fruit. This is one way to decrease the cost of living. Never in years has there tx*en a better prospect for bumper crop» in all var ieties of fruit, say commission mer chants. Prices are to be slashed from a third to a half under those of last year. Here are a few of the predicted retail prices: Concord grapes. 16 to 18 cents a basket; (teaches, 25 cents a one-fifth bushel basket; apples, $1.75 to $3 a barrel (all varieties); pears, $1.50 a bushel; plums, $1.5o a bushel. South Water street merchants esti mate that fully 10,000 carloads of fruit will be shipiwd from the Michi gan fruit belt this fall. Not only from Michigan but from Eastern vine yards and orchards, come the same re ports of bumper crops. The first of the Michigan peach«««, the early Alexanders, were shippoi from Ludington August 4, fully two weeks earlier than in the previous years. Thia is not the IxMit variety. Dropped Revolver Kills, New York While searching his pockets for a cent with which to pur> chase a newspaper from Mrs. Rose Malchorde, a Park Row news-woman, James C. Henderson, ag«i 76, of San Antonio. Tex., accidentally drew forth a loadeil revolver, which fell to the sidewalk an«! was discharged, kill ing the woman instantly. It is be lieved Henderson can be charg«"d only with carrying a concealed weapon. Although he declared it was an acci dent, and witnesses agreed with him, he was charg<si with homicide. Portugal Quaks-Shaken. Lisbon — A aeries of earthquake «hecks, gradually increasing in vio lence. were felt in 8«>uthern Portugal. At Mortela. Albufeira and other points near the coast, considerable 1 damage was done and some persons were injured. At Lagos the distarb- | ances were accompanied by a tidal wave which caused a panic.

After a rest hero th«1 admiral will continue to Vancouver. B. C., where he will re-enter the Unit«»! States by rail for a private visit to Seattle, Wash. He will embark there for Japan. Before leaving American ter ritory the distinguished Japanese. who had been th«1 gu«-st of the United States for 17 days, sent a telegram to Secretary Knox expr«-scing thanks for the cordial reception that the govern ment and the p«-oplc had ac<x«rd«*d him. "Pray be assured of my carrying home with me a vivid impression of the kind and friendly feelings which have been demonstratid to me by a nation who»«1 welfare and prosperity are my sincere wish," he wrote. Th«1 admiral t««ok great interest in the falls. He r«xie around in a pri vate trolley car and asked 'more ques tions than on any other occasion dur- ing his tour. MOB ATTACKS PRISON. Political Unrast Causes Trouble in Portugal, Lisbon An attempt was made to release 400 political prisoners from the Limeorio prison in this city. A mob overpowered th«1 sentries, but as the iron gates were about to fall before th«* attack, the troops arrived and the deliverers fl«!. Sergeants in the army who were dissatisfied at the treatment accord ed men of their grade assembled in se cret meeting, according to the Novil- hades. The minister of war, learning of the meeting, sent cavalry to the spot, but ail of the men except five escape«!. The Diario Noticia says the govern ment has ascertained that the country priests, fearing ecclesiastical property is to be seized by the state, are bury ing church treasures, consisting of priceless relics, vases and images. It is said that church property val ued at $3,000,000 already has disap pearod. Short Bushels Must Go. Chicago Fruits and vegetables of many sorts will be sold here by weight instead of by measure after January 1, 1912. The berry boxes with bot toms in the center will disappear at the same time, as will also "trade <*ustom” bushels that contain but seven-eighths of a bushel, if several ordinances being propare«! by Peter Zimmer, city sealer, are passed. Dis honest and d«-ceptive "trade customs” will receive a death blow and consum ers and honest commission men will be benefitted incalculably. Will Break Ground for Panama Pacific Exposition. Entire Journey Will Last About Six Weeks - Three Days in State of Washington. Washington. D. C. Plans for Pres ident Taft's visit through the West and the Pacific Coast were virtually completed Sunday. The journey will b«< almost a» extensive aa that taken by the president on hia famous "swing around the circle," in 1909, when he traveled more than 13,000 miles and visited 33 states. He will break ground for the Panama Canal exposition at San Francisco, make «core.» of addresses and attempt to scale Mount Rainier's slope. Accenting to the present arrange ments the president will be gone six week«. In that time it is expected he will niak«1 nearly 2o0 speeches from th«1 rear platform of his private car and at places not on the regular sched ule. Republican leaders look upon the trip as th«* most important, political- ly, that the president has map|H*<i out •once he entero«! the White House. IL- will go through all th«* states in the West in which the dominance of "progressive” Republicans is recog nized and which are counted on as op posed to his «nomination next year. Until the question of the adjourn ment of congre-» was out of the way. the president was undecided whether In- li i!d ! gon« •;I.r• • Weeks or six. With ad i,.-no t virtually n-sured for this week, the president feels that he can get three weeks’ rest at Bever ly and Ire in trim to stand the grind of 40 days in a private car. The president probably will leave Beverly September 17, returning East alxiut November 1. He will go We«t through Iowa, Kai -as, Nebras ka. Colorado. I'tah and Nevada to the Coast. Most of the big cities in these states, including Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City, will be visited, but the plans for the trip contemplât«1 stops at scores of smaller places as well. From California the president will go north to Portland and Seattle. Three days are to be spent in Wash ington state, and th«- route eastward will allow him to stop in Idaho, Mon tana. the Dakotas anti Minnnesota. While no "spellbinders” are to be taken along, it is probable that mem bers of the cabinet and of congress will become traveling companions of the president at various points en route. Topics for the president's ad dresses will not be hard to find, the party leaders say. KISS TASTES OF POISON. Mother Detects Children's Peril Time to Save Them. in New York Poison«»! by their break fast, Mrs. Ella Bell, of 65 West Thirty-sixth street, and her three small children were saved from death by the mother's quickness in getting aid. One of the children -Ruth, 2 years old »till is in a serious condi tion at the New York hospital, where she was taken. The husband and father, John Bell, is a billposter, who goes to work some hours before Mrs. Beil has breakfast with her rhildron. The breakfast which made them all ill consisted of canned peas left from the preceding meal. Some hours after eating the meal Ruth complained of feeling feverish. Soon after that the other children be came ill and the mother began to have a headache, aceompaniixl by nausea. Ruth asked for some water, and her mother ki»»«d her as she gave it to the child. She noticed a metallic taste on the child's lips. Her suspicions aroused. she kissed the other children, finding the same condition present. She hurriedly called a physician and heroic treatment saved the lives of all the children. «s' Scientists Near Death. Cordova.
