§ CONFLICTING STORIES OF TURCD-TALIN Wa Not Known if ltaly Has Occupied Tripoli- Bombard Confirmed DESTRUCTION OF TURKISH DESTROYERS.London, October 1\u2014Out of a perfect maze of conflicting reports and tumors it is utterly impossible at the present stage to sift the grains of truth concerning the opening days of the Turco-Italian war.It is even doubtful whether there has been any actual occupation of Tripoli, and it is practically certain that there has been 80 bombardment by the Italian warships.It seoms almost certain that the re- perted destruction of the Turkish feet is untrue.In fact, the only re- ult of the fret three day\u2019s hostilities which can be vouched for, is the destruction by the vealed ; so That it is impousibl-.\"ar the 13 outside world té know what 2.going on there, The Ottoman Government clearly \\e not * a hurry and that the most significant news of the day is the decision of the Turkish Council again to appeal to the powers, and in the meantime suspend offensive measures, Late to-night this new appeal had not reached the British Government, and there i= nothing to indicate that the attitude of the powers has undergone any change.According to the Daily Telegraph's Rome correspondent, towever, Germany and Austria have already made unofficial representations to Italy of their displeasure at her procedure, and that if these representations are ignored they will be followed in another shape by \u201chumil- lation to Italy\u201d According to information from dip- fomatic sources the landing of the Italians at Prevesa is greatly resent- sd by Austria and Germany, and had much to do with their reported change of attitude towards Italy.Turkey's interna! politics probably sccount in a large measure for her hesitating in taking the offensive.Said Pasha, the new Grand Vizier, con- toinues his efforts to form a coalition ministry, but finds the task one of al- tost insuperable difficulty.Bombardment Reported.Constantinople, October 1 \u2014 It is officially confirmed that the Italian squadron has bombarded Prevesa, but the landing of Italian forces there is denied.It is announced from Janina that two Italian warships yesterday bombarded the port of Reschadie, sd torpedo boats lying in that har., one of which was damaged and fanded its crew.The Italian ships entered the port and shelled the town, several houses being struck.After taking soundings they left and later entered Port Musto, taking the captain of the port and three boatmen prisoners.The Porte has notified the powers of the suspension of the lighthouse services in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the Dardanelles, the Aegean and Adriatic.The Italian workmen in the government factories have been dismissed.The Italians employed on the construction of railways in Asia Minor are abandoning work and leaving the country.British Battleships Ready.Malta, October 1\u2014The British battleships Duncan, Cornwallis, Russell.Triumph and

semi-official note declares that the statement that Italian forces landed at Prevesa is absolutely false.The nature of the rumor, says the note, is obvious, from the circular, addressed on Sept.26th to the Balkan States, which declared that the territorial status quo and consolidation of European Turkey remain, as ever, the base of Îtalian | policy.Consequently all reports of the landing of Italians in Europe that may [de circulated are self evidently untrue.Prevesn, adds the note, js, however, a base of operations for Turkish ter-.Italiens Enthusiastic., Chiasso, Switzerland, on the Îtalian Froutier, October 1\u2014The departure §f the troops from Italy is being made the occasion for patriotic manifestations.The artillery at Milan, in full war equipment, were drawn up in the court yard of the barracks in the presence of the remainder of the troops.In addressing the soldiers before their departure the colonel said : \u201cBe cheerful.Write to your families that we, who remain behind, envy you.Remember that we trust you to do honor to the regiment.\u201d From the windows of the infirmary soldiers on the sick list shot ted hue- rahs and waved handkerchiefs.As a last recommindation to the expeditionary troops, the officers urged\u2019 them not to offend the Arabs.Outside the barracks the troops were surrounded by crowds of people, who cheeréd, waved flags and sang war songs, while women threw fowers from the window.In a circular note sent by the government to the Italian consuls in Ottoman territory instructions were given to urge Italian subjects to maintain peace and not resist if their places of business were closed.Some of the gonsuls have answered that the colonies are maintaining an admirable attitude, notwithstanding such incidents as have occurred at Saloniki and in Syria.Turkish Fleet.London, Oct.1-\u2014-Reports regarding the Turkish feet are conflicting.A Constantinople despatch to the Reu- ; teur Telegraph Company timed $.50 p.m.says that an official telegram has been received stating that the Turkish squadron reached the Dardanelles safely at noon to-day after an uneventful journey thither.\u2018 An early despatch from Rome says that the Ministry of Marine announces that the Italian squadron encountered the Turkish squadron, composed of : three battleships and several torpedo | boats near the entrance to the Dardanelles: that an engagement ensued and the Turkish battleships were sunk and the torpedo boats damaged.{ Austin, Pu, Octoher 1\u2014Three bun- dred or more persans met their death through the bursting of a dam above this fown yesterday.Fire followed and completed the work of destruction.The curtain of night which was rung down on the flood scarcely before its victims had all been claimed and its surviving spectators fully realized how great a tragedy the elements of water and fire had enacted in the natural amphitheatse of the Allegheny Mountains here, was lifted by dawn to-day, revealing a ghastly scene of death and devastation.- Austin itself, yesterday a busy mill town of 3.000 people, many vf whom were enjoying a fine agtumn after noon as a Saturday half holiday, is only a ghost of a town to-day.Torn to pieces by water and fire, the wet and charred remnants of its buildings, believed to hold the remains of three hundred or more persons, were strewn along the valley edge, piled in windows where the main street business section was, or\u2019 swept in scattered masses are down the ravine.Spectators, many of whom barely escaped being victims of the disaster, and hundreds of people from surrounding towns, looked down on the steep hillsides on Austin and Costello through a veil of fog this morning to see the wreckage there of some four hundred houses, a score of business blocks, three churches and several large lumber mills, and three miles further down the river at Costello the ruins of more than fifty.buildings.|The Beod did not spend ER force ume til it \u2018rived Of more tinh tes miles from the reservoir.Wharton, still furthet om suffered somewhat, but is practically intact.The loss of life at Costello, where the residents had more warning, is believed to be but three.The property loss in the valley estimated at $6,000,000.In Austin out of the hundreds directly enveloped in the deluge hardly a dozen survive.The furious flood let loose when the Bayless Paper and Pulp Company's dam crumbled yesterday afternoon, picked up a huge battery of heavy timbers in the mill yards at the foot of the dam and with these thousands of planks and logs rammed its path with terrible havoc.At the hospital to-day there were but six -injured, for the care of the small army of physicians and nurses who poured into the devastated town all night and day.The medical supplies remained unused in the cars rushed here by the Buffalo and Susquehanna and the Pennsylvania railroads and the only use found for blankets and bedding was in the care of the few recovered dead which up to a late hour this afternoon numbered but fifteen.The State constabulary arrived this afternoon and took charge of the sita- ation which seemed too appaling for the local committee which had worked all night.Immediately orders were issued to the railroads to bring no more sight-seers to Austin and sentinels were placed on the chief roadways with instructions to pass none but workmen.Hundreds of automobiles and carriages were turned hack.During the night searching parties | with engine headlights) automobile lamps, pine torches and improvised lanterns of every sort poked their way into every pile of wreckage that was accessible seeking any who might be alive, but scarcely a body was found in which life was not extinet.The night had been one of hardship and horror fliled with experiences which had severely tested the mettle of the men whom circumstance had impressed into first aid rescuers of the Rood devastated village.Men who shuddered at the touch of a corpse at the outset indifferently searched mangled hodies for papers Brantford; Ont, Oct.1.~The body of unknown man about 35 years ot! age, was found here yesterday along! the tracks of the Grand Trunk rail-! road.The

so many did not xeem ghastly; the sensation was appalling.The immediate scene of the obliteration of Auatin covers an area of lhrec-eights of a mile wide and one and three-quarter miles long.This comprised the business section and the valley residence portion.Nearly a mile above stood the mammoth dam of the Bayless Paper and Pulp Company, six hundred feet long, 32 feet high and 30 {cet thick

Result of Bursting of a Dam in Pennsylvania.FIRE ADDS TERROR TO THE , MONDAY, OCTOBER { SÉTUATION = A milé streum, Éreeman Run, flowed through tbe tôwn into Sinnemahoning Creek, lead to the Susquehanna River.The town proper was & smart little pce of eomfortable frame houses and more substantial busimess buildings along the main street which ran from side to side across the tæ .The principal business buildings included the brick structure occupied jointly by the Austin Bank and the post office, the department store A.R.Buck, the Goodyear Hotel nd the Commercial House and num s general stores.Five minutes after the dam burst this stage had been swept of its scenery and setting.Along the foot hills were thrown teleséoped houses, while bnth sides awd fragments piled and catapulted together.At either end of Main street, brick buildings acted as buffers as the 25 foot wall of water rushed downward with its mass of debris.Almost hill high the wood, steel and brick were piled, a strange mixture of the contents of stores and homes and of vagied length timbers and sticks shot i the mass.The wreckage @@ the dam had been as complete as it sudden.Two immense sections from top to bottom, a bundred and filty feet wide, were thrown out bodily like the immense gates of a caml lock.The outward swing was mode than fifty feet and on either side the remaining structure began gradually to crumble away.Repsirs last spring had consisted of a patch of cement 14 feet quate.Owi-ofulhe severed sections yesterday began \u2018at that pitch.The cause of the breaking of the dam is a matter which the District Attorney of Potter County has taken steps to investigate.The Bayless dam was examined by experts over a year ago and certain recommendations were made looking to its safety.The District Attorney has secured the names of some of the experts who submitted the report to the Bayless Company and will summon them to testify at an inquest to begin some day this week.Relief work has not been systematically \u2018organized to-night, but it is hoped tha* by morning the chaotic condition will have been somewhat relieved.Shortly after 11 o'clock this morning the first relief train arrived over the Pennsylvania railroad.Four carloads of food and medical supplies loaded at the State Arsenal composed the relief trains.This was ordered by Governor John K.Tenor.At Subery, Pa., twenty-one men of Proop C.of the State Constabulary, all the available men at hand, were taken abosrd and a delay of an hour was caused by the loading of the troop horses.It was shown this morning that there was need of a strong hand to guard the town.Pillagers had been at work during the night following the rumor that the vauits of the Austin Bank and the safes of several stores had been wrecked.The rumor was not true and the firemen and volunteers did effective work in keeping off would-be plunderers.In several cases the guardians had hand to hand conflicts with the maraulers in which the latter were worsted.The survivors of the flood had not recovered from the horror of the scene this morning and for many hours none but strangers visited the ruins.As the day progressed small knots of survivors Anet and visited the site of the ruined town.Many striking incidents of the flood and escapes were recounted.Credit for the guick spreading of the alarm was given to Lena Binckey.a telephone operator.Upon receiving the message from the Cliff House that the dam had broken, she pushed.the alarm button connecting with the fire department and the engineers office of the Goodyear Lumber Mill below the town.The engineer tied his whistle down and the fire bell in the town was sounded continuously.She then rushed to the street screaming the warning cry \u201c The dam has broken.\u201d Then she fled for her life toward the steep hillside at the north end of Main street.Turning toward the valley she saw the great wall of water descending upon the town.\u201cFrom where | stood,\u201d she said today, \u201cthe wall of water seemed fifty feet high.Above it rose a great cloud of spray in which houses seemed to toss, bumping against one another, spinning and turning us they fel! to ieces or were swept cut of my sight.Fhe noise was appalling.\u201cWhen 1 fled from Main street there were scores of people behind me, many of them children.They did not seem to appreciate the imminence of their danger.\u201cSome turned into the stores as if to make a casudl purchase, while I was levking dows upon them, ussarly 2, 1911 The Quebec Chronicle cloud of mist that seemed to precede the food hid them from view and a moment later the green water buried the houses from my sight.\u201d Chie! of Police D.E.Baker took an Informal census to-dsy snd from his list calculated that at least 300 of the residents were unaccounted for.Bark 8.XM, Sievert, chairman of the Ctitzens' Committee, and Michael Murrin, the Burgess, pointed out that this reckoning necessarily is inaccurate because many of those who escaped the flood are wandering about today trying to house themselves and those dependent upon them.Burgess Murrin said to-day that in :his opinion not more than 150 lives were last \u201cIt is possible that this figure will cover the loss,\u201d he said \u201cand it is possible that there will be not more than 100 dead.\u201d The Burgess and the Rev.P.W.O'Brien, pastor of St.Augustine's Roman Catholic Church at Austin for many years, who are familiar with busines conditions and values, estimate the property damage at about $6,000,000.The Bayless Company, which owued the dam, will lose $1,- 500,000, according to Father O'Brien, the Goodyear Lumber Co.$1,000,000, the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad $500,000 and the three hundred houses destroyed with their contents, it is said, will total $1,000,000 more.One of the striking and pathetic features of the day, according to Dr.Thos H.A.Styites, chief of the State Dispensaries, was the practical absence of children among the survivors.It ls thought that when the | wreckage has been cleared away and the \u2018bodies of victims recovered\u2014al- though many have been entirely de- stroyed\u2014it would be found that a large proportion were those of children.Boyd Lockhard, a young business man of Austin, had a narrow escape.Mr.Lockhard said that when he heard the alarm given he thought some one was playing a practical joke and he went in the street to watch the people\u2019s actions.He looked in the direction of the dam and saw the oncoming flood was but three blocks away.\u201cIt looked like a wall of wood 25 feet high,\u201d he said.\u201cAt first glance I did not see the water at all because the wood at the pulp mill was carried before the water and became a sort of battering ram that tore away the buildings of the town.I ran towards the hill and by the greatest effort got was surfing within ten feet of me.The ground began to give way under me, but I managed to clamber few feet further up and caught hold of a tree to which I clung.\u201d Throngs of people came to the town to-day from points below Austin.They came to seek friends and relatives.The rush of the waters had carried away every means of wire comunication and impeded travel of any kind.J.C.Borchard, who lived within half a mile of Costello, said to-day that when the crest of the flood swept past his home there were no signs of human beings or their houses in the debris.\u201cThe entire surface of the flood was covered with newly sawn timber and pieces of lumber,\u201d he said.\u201cIt was not until a lapse of five or six minutes that pieces of house tops, broken furniture and other evidences of the destruction of the town began to appear.\u201d \u201cThe people of Costello,\u201d he said, \u201creceived ample warning from Austin that the dam had broken and although forty or fifty houses were demolished only three fatalities occurred.\u201d The annihilation of the town of Austin came in 8 beautiful autumn afternoon.The tine weather had attracted many of the younger element to a ball game in a nearby town and luckily they escaped the fate of their many friends and relatives.Women were about the streets for their Saturday afternoon shopping and these und the merchants who were selling them goods were caught by the onrush of water almost before they had time to think of escape.There were small crowds amusing themselves also at moving picture theatres which were swept away by the water.Women rocking their babies at home, and preachers preparing their Sunday sermons were hurled into eternity at one and the same time before their startled senses could realize the meaning of it ait.occurred at a sharp turn of the valley just below Main street, where the debris was caught and compressed with terrific power hy the circling sweep of the flood.The wreckage of the busiest portion of the town was carried to that point and from upset stoves and lamps caught fire.It is believed that scores of persons are buried under from ten to twenty feet of wreckage and the task of recovering them will necessarily be a difficult one.Jn a drizsling cain which later changed to a beating storm hundreds of volunteers carried on the work of rescue today while many hysterical from the fate that had overcome friends and relatives, viewed the muddy corpses anxious and fearful to know if any among them were loved ones.Fires were still burning briskly in some portions of the wreckage this afternoon, although they had been under control for several hours.The Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad found a way into Austin over the rails today by connecting with the Keating and Summit spur, a branch track that followed the hilt.By this route they landed several fire companies from nearby towns.Not a manufacturing industry is left standing and not a business place is intact.A few cheaply constructed wooden houses occupied by foreigners snd lagatéé, on

that the little hospital remained practically undamaged on the hillside.The hospital building was also saved.Chief \u2018Baker of Austin, one of the survivors, with the assistance of Earnest Hamilton and a number of con- stabler from nearby towns, maintained as good order as could be expected throughout the night, and until the arrival of a company of state constabulary at 11 o'clock this morning.There were 80 mounted men in the state squad, but on account of the wreckage in the valley it was found not practicable to picket the ruins of the village on horseback.Lines were established and only workers and searchers were allowed to pass them.There was but little pillaging.During the forenoon Chief Baker discovered man and a woman removing a watch from a man's pocket but to attempt an arrest was useless and the pair got away after some rough handling by the crowd.In the wreckage of three atores he found that the cash registers had been broken open and the contents stolen.One man who was found to have three waches on his person was locked up in a freight car.A primary election was in progress in the Town Hall at the time the flood broke.A hatless man dashing by yelled to the crowd about the booth something about the dam hursting and the election inspectors and voters dashed out and took to the hills leaving their ballots unmarked.Some escaped but many were too late and were whirled into the debtis which formed a dam of itself just below Main street.The jam of debris at this point was at least 75 feet high and three or four blocks long.In this mass the majority of victims are believed tonight to lie mangled and burned.The halves of houses, twisted - telephone poles, huge sections of brick walls, trees and timbers arc interwoven and locked together with such force that the rescuers have to fight their way into the debris inch by inch.There were five hundred or more men working in the ruins late this afternoon.Heavy logging ropes were tied about the higger pieces of wreck- sge, the end paid out until two or three hundred men had room for a hold.In this primitive way the ruins were forced apart, often to fall again into the tangle and make the work all the more difficult.The dam of debris which formed at Austin saved the western part of Costello.Tt stayed the ontush of the current temporarily during which the alarm spread down the valley and the resident of Costello had time to flee to the hills, The eastern side of the village, however, was entirely de- homeless.It in believed that omly three lives were lost and of those only one hody, that of an unidentified wom.sn, had been recovered at a late hour this aiternoon.stroyed.rendeting shout 400 people | ¥ The work of clearing up the debris is under the direction of Senator A.T.Baldwin, who lost his fdther, mother, wife and home in the flood, and was himself painfully hurt in escaping the disaster.During the night the food supplies were scarce and the rescuers, many of whom were unused to such heavy work, toiled without se much as asking for anything to eat Several of them collapsed today and had to be given medical attention, Governor Dix telephoned from Albany this morning that the state of New York was prepared to send anything the sufferers might need as soon as they would make known what would be acceptable, There was no lack of willing hands, Country women from miles around drove to the scene and between comforting the Austin women who had lost husbands and ehildren and getting luncheons for the survivors were busy all day and into the night.Meanwhile men fought their way through woods and brush for a mile or more to get pure water for coffee and farmers drove in with large supplies of fresh milk.In order to be fed one had to be vouched for as a resident of the flood stricken town or a commissioned flood worker.Guards were placed at the door of an old wooden building | which stood outside the path of the jm \u2014 (Continued on Fourth Page.)

.Montreal, Oct.l.\u2014Hon.T.Berthiaume, proprietor of La Press, which waged a battle for reciprocity and the Liberal regime, stated today that he was prepared to give Mr.R.L.Borden, the Premier-elect, fair play.He said he considered Mr.Borden à man of broad views, too broad in fact, for some of his Ontario supporters.In reply to questions concerning the ownership of La Press and the reports that Messrs.MacKenzie and Mann were the real proprietors, Mr.Berthisume said that there was nothing in the story and that he had the entire voting power and the absolute control of the journal.The report referred to was published in L'Action and stated that the MacKenzie and Mann interests had never lost contro! of La Presse since took it over from Mr.David Russell in 1905, ' Questioned as tq his views on the probable leadership of the Liberal party he stated that he considered Sir Wilfrid Laurier absolutely finished as a factor in Canadian politics.Sir Wilfrid, he stated, could never be resuscitated as a successful leader.\u2014_\u2014 YOUNG MAN WAS ARRESTED.Sergt.Letarte arrested a young mag last evening on a charge of theft.He is supposed to be one wf the church

soon as its practicability is proved, was in successful operation for the first time on Friday and Saturday, a run of several tons of Cobalt ore being sent through the mechanism at the island plant.M.I.Stewart, Sir Donald's representative, says the test was eminently satisfactory, every particle of mineral matter being precipitated from the rock, leaving only pure silica in a pulpy mass.As the silica itself can be moulded into bricks, the success of the island process means that profit can be derived from every ounce of the lowest grade mineral ore.W.8.Pierce, an eminent chemist from the United States, witnessed the run and expressed the belief that if the same success resulted from the treatment of lead and zinc, the invention would mean nothing less than.4 revelatian inthe smelting of low grade ore.Sir Donald Mana will witness the next test.\u2014_\u2014 ss MATCH FOR THE MANN CUP.Toronto, Oct.1\u2014The Young Torontos and Vangouver met yesterday in the Mann Cup lacrosse

the reports that Quebec would now be of little importance in Federal affairs, Mr.Borden having à clear English-speaking majority, he said: \u201cI have no fear whatever of the Conservative majority from Ontario.T am of the opinion that Quebec will receive no injustice at the hands of Mr.Borden and his Ontario followers, I tell you here and now that I never found the Ontario people that

proper food is a difficult one for the girl who works and who must husband Mer strength to meet the demands that a business life makes on her vitality, and it is not surprising that hundreds of working girls become hervous dyspeptics when one sees the sort of food they are In the habit of consuming, Their luncheons alone are enough to wreck the digestion of an ostrich if indulged in daily; sandwiches, and badly made sandwiches at that, year in and year out, until the stomach rebels at the mere sight of one in its oiled-paper dressing.If one must eat sandwiches, then they should be properly wade.Sandwich making is an art that the practical woman should acquire.Fresh bread should never be used, for it quickly becomes sour and soggy.The bread should always be a day old and the filling should be nourishing as well as appetizing.The sandwich horrors that one sees anemic young women consuming sre distressing.Soggy bread afd raw beef combined sre enough to work havoc with any digestion; fresh bread soaked with jam is as unappetizing as it is indigestible, and ham insufficiently baked is another sandwich horror that most women accept.Add to these a piece of badly made cake washed down with strong tea, either hot or cold, and one has laid the foundation for a serious stomach trouble; yet this is the average working woman's luncheon.The sandwich regime can be endured more or less successfully during the winter months, for then one starts the day fortified by a stronger breakfast than one can manage during the hot weather, and consequently oue can do with a lighter luncheon.In winter, also, sandwiches are made more palatable by hot chocolate or eocoa, while in summer their injurious and unnourishing effect is intensified by the quantities of iced tea that are consumed in getting them down.\u201cBut,\u201d says the fagged and nerve- wrought toiler, \u201cwhat ia there to take the place of the inevitable sandwich?\u201d So long as women work and dwell in boarding houses and play havoe with their health following the light housekeeping principle, they will, undoubtedly, be more or less sandwich fed; but it is to be regretted that the whole sandwich family can not be banished for all time from the working girls\u2019 menu.But since there is no hope of accomplishing this, then the sandwich evil should be mitigated as much as possible.Fresh bread should absolutely be avoided, and the filling that is used should be nqurishing and pal- \u2018atable.Mayonnaise and rich fillings should be used sparihgly.The roe of herritif makes a good sandwich, and is 36\" lke caviare that it Is difficult to tell the difference.Sardine sandwiches.if not mixed with tog much mayonnaise, are appetizing as well as nourishing, as the oil in the sardine is generally considered healthful.If one does not ohject .to onions, a little finely grated on a roast are wholesome, but not always palatable.Broiled chopped, bacon, finely makes a good sandwich and one does not tire of it quickly, With ham or beef sandwiches the chief thing is that the meat should he well cooked before using.Sandwiches of Swiss and cream cheese, or even plain American cheese, with a dash of mustard are always good.A clever woman who- is constantly trying to find new and palatable things for her sister's luncheon hit upon the happy idea of gutting all sorts of appetizing dalnties up in bread cases.These are made of French bread; any other is too soft for scooping out.They are made round \u2018and rather thick and a small lid cut to put over the top.A tomato stuffed with meat and bread crumbs and baked.put in a bread case, makes a dainty and appetizing novelty for à working girl's luncheon.A walad can be put up in the same way, and French dressing carried in a small bottle.In winter these bread cases can be filled with friend oysters and one has a miniature oyster loaf which is delicious.Potatoes taken out of their jackets, mixed with cheese, and then put back and baked can be easily carried in bread cases.The cases, of course, must be cut sufficiently deep and thick to hold what one wants to put in them, and they can be eaten with th® luncheon, thus doing away with the necessity of carrying extra slices of bread.An important thing is to vary the luncheons\u2014each stomach is more or less rebellious of routine.It develops à certain fastidiousness, or rather the old fastidiousness which has been crushed by months of unpalatable luncheons reasserts itself and the stomach refuses to endure sandwiches that were its accustomed fare.The principal thing is not to eat what you don't want.Every one should show sufficient strength of character to refuse to eat what she doesn\u2019t want.Better let the stomach remain idle than to set it a task beyond its strength and desire.A cynical bachelor whose summers have been spent in various hostelries and eating places gave this bit of vulgar advice to a girl who was struggling to live through her first summer of overwork and improper food: \u201cBetter be a camel and live on your hump than to consume food the stomach craveth not.\u201d FEARED THE WORST.A South Dakota railroad is noted for its

days\u2019 tour of Tows here tonight, as he had begun it\u2014 with a speech on the tariff.To an audience which filled a large tent and gave him the closest atention he has bad, the President in a conversational tone and in an informal manner stated anew the position he had taken with reference to the tariff bills he vetoed.Mr.Taft made no bid for applause; 90 attempt at oratory.He took the audience into his confidence and stated his case with scarcely a pause.The crowd was not a demonstrative one.It cheered the President when he began and sgsin when he finished.There was occasional applause ip between, the most spontaneous and prolonged occurring when Mr.Tate exclaimed: \u201cI am a no free trader; tectionist, pledged to the policy of a protective tariff based on the difference in the cost of production in this country and the cost of production abroad.\u201d The President was again applauded when he declared that he was going to recommend reductions in the woollen and cotton schedules, just as soon as the Tariff Board reported on those schedules in December.He denounced the present wool schedule as indefensibly high, but declared that the woollen bill, which he vetoed, was drawn without regard to the effect it would have on the industry in this country; was drawn without adequate informa- I am a pro- single Senator.Mr, Taft said he felt the country could well afford to wait two or three months longer and get a bill based on scientifie data and complete information.The farmers\u2019 free list bill, Mr.Taft said.was intended as a compensation to the farmer for whatever damage he might suffer from Canadian reciprocity.He asserted that reciprocity would, not have hurt the farmers any- out the last reason for so slipshod a out the last reason for so slipshop a measure, The deailed explanations given to the various bills were listened to with the greatest apparent interest.The President apologized several times for the dryness of his discussion, but he held his audience to the end.The tariff talk was prefaced by a brief explanation of the trip he is now taking.Mr.Taft said he did not believe that a President of the United States had any right to make partisan talks or to attack anyone.He declared he was taking advantage of an opportunity to get in touch with the people to explain in person some of the acts of his administration.STEAMER

commoner than three.The explanation seems to be that the phenomenon is due to the increased use of the feminine foot as a means of locomotion.The constantly increasing number of women engaged in industry and the growth in opularity \u201cof tennis, golf and walk- he have had their inevitable result, and common sense has done much to abolish the wearing of pinching shoes, The tradition that
