TAFT AND A SECOND TERM. Of course Taft is not “‘running” for a second term. He never “ran” for a first term. He accep- ted his nomination and election to the presidency as he has every other public office—as a call to daty. The splendid public ser- vice he had rendered in a life de- voted to public service made him the logical successor to Presi- dent Roosevelt. He hasserved as president just as he has served as judge, as governor to the Philip- pines, as secretary of war—a straightforward, clear-visioned man, doing what is right, In fill- ing this first term he is not think- ing of a second term. But when the «Taft measures” mnow before congress are enacted into law the demand for a second term for Taft will be as strong as it was for any former president. Presi- dent Taft seeks no second term; he sought no first term; but he has always been ready to fulfill his duty as an American citizen when called. ONE CENT POSTAGE. Postmaster General Hitchcock announces that he is successfully curbing expenses of the postal de- partment; that already-he-is sure of reducing lastyear's deficit which was $17,000,000 to $7,000,000 this year. Then he says we will be in reach of one cent first-class letter postage. With plenty it is easy to get more. The ‘Gould family has recently in- herited $425 from Grand Uncle Cornelius K. Bailey. Of this fortune Frank J. receives $76.04, Helen, $73.95, Princess De Sagan There is no time to guess on the population of the country, the state and the City and to have it forgotten before the authoritive figures come in.

I fear your enthusiasm has lead you to give me more credit than I deserve. How- ever, again, I thank you.

FIVE HUNDRED KILLED Aristocratic Section Felt Full Force of the Earthquake and Many Prominent Residents Are Among the Victims. Survivors Organize Into Rescuing Parties and Begin the Work of Re- covering the Dead and Injured. Managua, May 7.—Late advices from San Jose, Costa Rica, add to the magnitude of the disaster that over- whelmed Cartago, the ancient and picturesque capital of the country. The full force of the earthquake, which demolished the greater portion of the city, was felt in the aristocratic section and among the dead are many of the leading residents. Terror stricken refugees are pour- ing into San Jose and they report that minor seismic disturbamces have followed the initial quake. These de- molished many of the buildings that were damaged by the first shock. Estimates of the dead and injured vary. Coemmunication with the capi- tal from San Jose is intermittent, a single telegraph wire being in opera- tion and it failing at intervals. The early estimates of the dead, 500, are adhered to by the latest dispatches, while the injured exceed that number. Following the disaster city officials assumed command of the situation. They sent word to San Jose asking that aid be sent as quickly as possi- ble. Then the survivors were organ- ized into rescuing parties. Dead and Injured Taken Out. The ruins were attacked with vigor and the work of getting out the dead and injured pushed. As bodies were taken out they were disposed of to avoid pestlence. The food and water supply was conserved to prevent famine. Temporary camps for the survivors ‘were established on the hills over- looking the city and food and medical supplies have been rushed to these camps from San Jose. Nearly every public building in the city suffered. Those substantially con- structed felt the force of the earth- quake even more severely than the small residences. This was especially true of the magnificent court of jus- tice, erected with funds contributed by Andrew Carnegie, and which was designed to be the home of a per- manent tribunal where peaceful settle- ment of all disputes between Central and South American countries could be arranged. This palace, which was designed to be the most magnificent structure in Central America and for which the American- steel magnate contributed $100,000, was nearing completion. ‘When the quake shook the city the heavy stones utilized as building ma- terial were jarred from the steel frame and the palace collapsed like a house of cards.

For four days the house committee on postoffices and postroads has been holding an infor- mal discussion of the bill and it is stated that from the great varlety and volume of views expressed there is be- ginning to appear a possible ground for agreement. Just what this basis may be it is not yet easy to predict. The bill introduced by Representa- tive Gardner (Rep., N. J.), which pro- vides for the deposit of postal savings funds in natlonal banks, to be with- drawn whenever 1$2,000,000 are ac- ocumulated and invested im govern- ment securities, is sald to be favor- ably regarded by a number of the committes.

STRIKERS ATTACK MINERS Prevent Resumption of Work in Indi- ana Mines. Clinton, Ind., May 7.—One thousand foreign miners, heavily armed and carrying red banners, stoned a car carrying miners to the Crown Hill mines near here in a successful move to prevent the resumption of work un- der the new temporary agreement adopted at the Terre Haute conven- tion.

DUEL OF WITS CONTINUES Secretary Ballinger and Attorney Brandeis Again Clash. ‘Washington, May 7.—Secretary Bal- Hnger and Attorney Brandeis resumed their duel of wits in the Ballinger-Pin- chot investigation. Another sharp clash occurred when the lawyer asked the witness why he had gone to Bev- erly to see the president after he had prepared in writing all of the informa- tion in the possession of his depart- ment bearing on the Cunningham cases. Mr. Ballinger said he went to Bev- erly because he had been invited by letter, whereupon Mr. Brandeis asked him to point out the paragraph in the letter containing the invitation. Mr. Ballinger read a paragraph. “Does that contain any invitation to come to Beverly?” demanded M. Brandeis. “Strictly speaking, no.” “Then why did you go to Beverly?” “Because I wanted to.” Mr. Denby (Rep.) breke in impa- tlently: “I think this llne of cross- examination is extraneous,” he said, “and I object to Mr Brandels further wasting the committee’s time with irrelevant questions.” Messrs. James and Graham took sharp issue with Mr Denby and a long argument followed.
