Berlin, May 8.—The relchstag has passed the first reading of the com- mercial modus vivendl between the United States and Germany and re- ferred the agreement to a committee. After re-electing Herr Kaempf as second vice president the house took up the modus vivendi. Vice Chancel- lor Count von Posadowsky-Wehner ex- pressed apprehension that the agree- ment at many points did not fulfill the hopes entertained by the members. Its essential features were almost exclu- sively administrative provisions made by the United States, which, if car- ried out in the spirit of the arrange- ment made between the United States and Germany, would permit of the hope that many of the difficulties complained of by the German export- ers would be moderated or removed. The federated governments regarded the modus vivendl.as belng only the first step toward reaching an under- standing with the United States upon a much broader basis. American du- ties, when compared with the German, were extraordinarily high and in many classes of goods wholly exclude im- ports. Therefore Germany hoped that further negotiations would be a more Just recognition of her claim. The Tnited States should remember that Germany was among its best custom- ers. Karl Herold, Clerical, expressed the support of his party for the agreement upon the presupposition that a formal commercial treaty would be laid be- fore the house upon its termination. 'STRICKEN WHILE AT DINNER Charles E. Halliwell, Multi-Millionaire, Dies Suddenly. New York, May 8.—Charles E. Halli- well, vice president. of the American Tobacco company and one of the heaviest stockholders in the corpora- tion, died suddenly of apoplexy in the Holland House. Mr. Halliwell was stricken when at dinner with his wife of a few months and a niece. Prior to the formation of the Amer- ican Tobacco company Mr. Halliwell was at the head of the Leggett & Myers Tobacco company of St. Louis. He was reputed to be worth $20,000,- 000.

Liverpool, May 8.—An agent of the Liverpool Salvage association sent to Japan to make a report on the pros- pects of refloating the Great Northern Steamship company’s transpacific line steamer Dakota, which ran ashore in the bay of Tokio March 3, cables that it is hopeless to attempt to salvage the vessel, though part of her cargo may be saved. The Dakota is said to represent a loss to the London under- writers of $3,750,000. St. Paul Japs Greet Kuroki. St. Paul, May 8.—General -Kuroki, the famous Japanese warrior, and his staff of officers were in St. Paul for an hour and a half en route to the James- fown exposition. A large crowd of local army officers and Japanese was on hand to greet the party. General ‘| MacArthur and staff were with the Japanese, Assistance for Jamaica. London, May 8.—Although the fact has not yet been officially announced it is stated that the British govern- ment has decided to make a grant of $750,000 gratls to Jamaica and to guar- antee the island a loan of $5,000,000 to assist in its rehabilitation from the effects of the earthquake. A Very Practical Christian. A benevolent old man who lived on his farm in Iowa never refused shelter to any who might ask it of him: His many friends remonstrated with him about this characteristie, knowing that many unscrupulous hoboes would avail themselves of the opportunity and that there was great danger of the old man being robbed. To these remon- strances the old man replied that he believed in “practical Christianity.” “But,” said one of his friends, “this seems very impractical. Suppose one of these men took it into his head to Tob you one night?” “My dear young friend,” was the re- ply, “I bid all enter in the name of God, but I prove my bellef in practical Christianity by locking up their pants during the_nizht-” The Questions They Ask. The capacity of the average small boy for asking questions is practically unlimited, but it is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been made by a boy than those pro- pounded by a youngster to his father, who had taken him for a steamer trip. Here is a partial list: “Is that water down there “dny wetter than the water in the Atlantic ocean?” “What makes the water wet?” “How many men could be drowned In water ag”deep as that?” Attentions Ceased. “Is Willie still paying attention to Tillie?” “No.” “Did he Jilt her?” “No; he married he ”—Xllustrnted Bits.

KLLMD GET AWA Northern Pacific Tram Robbers TWO MEN ENGAGE IN HOLDUP Engineer Stops on Comméand of Rob- kers, but Makes a Show of Resist- ance and Is Shot Down—Posse and Bloodhounds on the Trail. Butte, Mont.,, May 8.—The North Coast limited, - eastbound, on the Northern Pacific railway, was held up by two masked men near Welchs Spur, a siding eighteen miles east of Butte, at 2:15 a. m. Enjineer James Clow was shot and killed and Fire- man James Sullivan was shot through the arm. Without making an attempt’ to blow the express car, as was evi- dently intquded, the robbers jumped from the engine and ran down the mountainside, disappearing in a gulch several hundred yards from the tracl. Sheriff Henderson of Butte was noti- fled and with a posse left on a train’ for the scene of the holdup. Sheriff ‘Webb of Yellowstone county was on the train and with one of the train créw started on the trail of the holdup men fifty minutes after the shooting. He trailed the men half a mile and, after picking up their masks, lost all trace of the bandits. On the tender of the locomotive was found a telescope grip full of glant powder, evidently intended for use in blowing up the express car. The men boarded the train presumably at the Butte Transfer, where a locomofive for the Montana, division was attached. One mile west of Welch the men crawled over the tender and with drawn guns commanded the engineer to stop the train, which he did. Makes a S8how of Resistance. Engineer Clow, however, made_a show of resistance and one of the rob- bers fired, shooting him through the body, killing him instantly. The other man shot at Sullivan, breaking his arm. When the train stopped Con- ductor Culver and the train crew ran to the engine, where they found a colored man, who related the circum- stances of the holdup. This man said that he had been stealing a ride and that the men offered him a third of the “booty” if he would assist them. He said he had refused and had-taken no part in the holdup. He said he can identify the robbers and is being held for this purpose. Engineer Clow lived at Livingston, where he leaves a widow and son. He was fifty-five years old and had been in the service of the Northern Pacific eighteen years. The Northern Pacific has sent spe- cial trains from Deer Lodge to the scene, carrying officers as well as seven bloodhounds from the peniten- tiary. Sheriff Fenner of Deer Lodge county was joined at Welch by men from the Butte police department, with horses. At last accounts the dogs had struck the trail and were follow- Ing it. : . The country where the holdup took place is extremely. rough, being six miles from the summit of the main range of the Rocky mountains. It is unsettled and the trail is not likely to be crossed by other people on foot, so that the bloodliounds will have a fair chance to track the men. BECOMING MORE SERIOUS. Longshoremen’s Strike Threatens to Further Extend. New York, May 8—The longshore- men’s strike, which has unexpectedly extended from Manhattan and Brook- lyn to Hohoken, N. J., and is directed already against the largest transat- lantic lines, may soon become a very serious matter. The strikers say that they are organized as the Lapgshore- men’s Protective association and that if their demands are not complied with by the steamship companies in- volved the strike will spread and it will take in all the piers on the New York and New Jersey water fronts. The strikers say that they are con- stantly gaining recruits. Their pres- ent number is placed at from 4,000 to 7,000. On the Manhattan side a strike is in progress against the American, Red Star, White Star and French lines and the Cunard line is threatened with one. In Hoboken the strike takes in the North German Lloyd, Holland- American, ScandinaviasAmerican and Phoenix lines, which are practically all the lines on the New Jersey side of the North river. In Brooklyn, where the strike began some days ago, the Mallory and Ward'lines are hampered by it, as are a number of other lines and big firms, including the New York Dock company and the Bush company. Youthful Robber Suicides. Philadelphia, May 8 —Foiled in his attempt to hold up, with the aid of a companion, two trolley conductors in ‘West Philadelphia and fearing that he had killed a policeman in his effort to escape Harold S..Jones, aged six- teen years, shot and killed himself on the street. His companion, G. H. Ged- dys, aged eighteen years, was arrest- ed while in bed at his home. Twelfth Ballot Without Result. Madison, Wis., May 8.—The twelfth Joint ballot for United States. senator produced no result. The following Re- publicans lead in the contest with votes, as follows: Esch 19, Lenroot 17, Stephenson 17, Cooper 14, Hatten 12. DURING TRIAL_ OF MINERS Precautions Taken to Meet Any Emer- gency That May Arise. Boise, Ida., May 8.—As a precau- tionary measure street preaching or speaking will be stopped in Boise dur- ing the trials of Williami D. Haywood an & other leaders of the Western Federation of Miners for the alleged murder of former Governor Frank Steunenbereg. It is feared that freedom of speech in'the street may lead to local agitation for or against the pris- oners and possible ‘disorders and Mayor Halnes has decided that 1t will bé better to issue and enforce a strict order covering the matter. The city continues entirely quiet and there is not the slightest indica- tion of possible disorder. The ‘occa- sional crank is the man feared rather than any concerted or suddenly aroused general movement. Police and detectives watch the railroads and highways entering the city and it fs the general belief tha’ 2y will be able at all times to fully control the sltuation. Behind them is an experi- enced militia company nd two troops of United States cavalry, quartered at a permanent post within the city lim- its, but there is not the slightest ap- prehension that their, services will'be required, nor has the military been instructed to hold themselves in readi- ness. In fact, the governor, the mayor and the people of Boise decline to be- lleve that under any circumstances the peace will be broken. The city is rapidly filling up. Wit- nesses are arrlving, many of them from a long distance. Many of the newspaper men and magazine writers have engaged houses or flats for sev- eral months, in the opinion that it will take three months to try the case. TEXAS TOWNS WIPED OUT Tornado Kills Nine People and Does Immense Damage. Mount Pleasant, Tex., May 8— Heavy damage and loss of life was wronught by a tornado which swept North Texas.

Marshalltown, Ia, May 8—The Corn Products Manufacturing com- pany of Chicago has sold to a scrap iron company of that city the glucose plant here. The price was $6000. The plant has not been operated for five years. BIG CONCERNS TO QUIT. Concerted” War on Bucketshops Hav- ing Desired Effect. Chicago, May 8—The Tribune says: Bucketshops throughout the West and in many states in the South appear to be nearly at the end of their exist- ence. Concerted -legislative action against them in several different states and the passage of stringent laws prohibiting them from operating further, together with the activity of the Chicago board of trade in prose- cuting cases against them, has caused many of the leading bucketshop con- cerns, which have had a network of vrivate wires covering practically ev- ery state in the West, South and Northwest, to decide to withdraw from the business. It is understood that the leading bucketshop concern in Indiana-is pre- paring to wind up its affairs by the middle of June, which is the time set for their closing up by the state au- thorities under the ‘law recently passed prohibiting bucketshops in that state. Towa and Missouri have passed similar laws and bills are pend- ing In Michigan, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, as well as In the Cana- dian Northwest provinces. Several of the most extensive systems will be out of operation in six weeks. The volume of business transacted by the different bucketshop comcerns has been enormous, especially as they usually have charged only half the commission exacted by regulelr houses. s Local Option in”lilinols. Springfield, 111, May 8—The house of representatives has passed the local option bill by a vote of 82 to 63. The bill now goes to the governor for his signature. é Government’s Irish Bill Appears in British Parliament. LOCAL COUNCIL AUTHORIZED = ® Proposed Body Will Meet at Dublin and Will Have Complete Control of a Number of Departments Now Un- der Imperial Direction. London, May 8—The Irish bill, de- signed to meet the demands for Irish home rule, has been introduced in the house of commons by the chief secre- tary for The attendance of spectators crowded every part of the chamber available to strangers. The bill provides for the “establish- ment and functions of an administra- tlve council” for Ireland, with head- quarters at Dublin. The Irish secre- tary and those in his confidence kept AUGUSTINE BIRRELL. their secret well, with the result that the political curiosity was very keen to learn the details of the scheme, which is likely to create a prolonged controversy. At the outset Mr, Birrell explained that the object of the bill was to asso- ciate the sentiment of the Irish people as a whole with the administration, the statutes and the regulations which directed the conduct of purely Irish affairs. It did not contain any trace of new executive power. It would not authorize the levying of a single tax or rate. ¢ Functions of Proposed Council. The departments coming under the control of the proposed Irish council would be the local government board, the department of agriculture, the congested districts board, the commis- sioners for public works and national education, the inspectors of the refor- matory and industrial schools and the registrar general. The supreme court, the judiciary, the Royal Irish constabulary, the Dub" lin- metropolitan police, the land %om- missfon and the prisons board would remain under the control of the im-| perial authorities. A representative administrative council, consisting of elghty-two elect- ed and twenty-two nominated mem- bers, would be established. The lat- ter would be nominated for the first year by the king and thereafter by the lord.lieutenant of Ireland. The elected members would be elected on a local government board franchise. The under secretary for the lord lieutenant of Ireland would be an ex- officio member of the council, which would have: complete control of the powers vested in the departments to be handed over to its control. Imperial Parliament Supreme. The exercise of the powers vested in the departments would— be con- trolled by resolutions of the council and the supremacy of the imperial parliament would be safeguarded by the power given to the lord lieuten- ant of Ireland to refuse his consent to any resolution of the council. A new educational department for primary and secondary education is to be established and will be placed un- der the control of the Irish council. The council would be elected for a term of three years. For financial pur- poses eight departments would be cre- ated. A certain annual sum to be fixed by parliament every five years ‘would be charged to the consolidated fund and paid into 'a separate Irish fund. A special Irish fund, to amount to a little over $20,000,000 yearly, would be created. The religious dis- ability would be removed-frém the office of lord lieutenant of Ireland. The council would have the power to appoint and remove officers from the eight departments above men- tioned In conclusion the Irish secretary said that if the new council proved a success it might pave the way for home rule.
