PANIC PROSPECTS ARE SMALL World Replies to Question of Coiliet’s Bringing Strong Points of Admin- istration—Earn Confidence Vote. By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. Washington, July 7.—Taking its work as a whole, the congress that is still in session has achieved the most important record of construc- tive legislation of any congress in fifty years, says the New York World in reply to an attack made on the Democratic house by Collier's Week- ly. Collier’s is either Republican or Bull Moose, but it is always anti- Democrat in spite of its hypoeritical show of support of the Wilson ad- ministration at the start. It re- cently asked the World if that news- paper wouid advise a man to vote Democrat in the coming congression- al elections, and the World’s reply was as follows: *This congress has abuse revised the out of an extortionate tariff. It has imposed an income tax which lifts part of the burden of taxation from poverty to wealth. It has en- acted a banking and currency law for which the American people have been striving for nearly twenty years. Whatever difference of opin- ion there may be about the adminis- trative details of this measure, all financial authorities agree that un- der it this country cannot have an- other panice like those of 1873, 1893 and 1907, “In addition, this congress has des- troyed the lobby. In the case of the Panama tolls Dbill it has not only wiped out a peculiarly hypocritical subsidy but. it has reasserted the good faith of the nation in respect to treaty obligations. In the matter of Mexico it has serupulously avoid- ed all demagogy. whole, semblance of jingoism and Taking its work as a the congress that is still In hag achieved the most im- poHunl record of - constructve.. leg- islation of any congress in fifty World does not withdraw a single word of its criticism of the|Mayor McCuaig Secures Power to labor amendments to the Sherman anti-trust, nor of its complaint that the house has not yet given ade- quate consideration to the issue of economy. But in spite of mistakes and shortcomings, we can recall no previous congress that has so fully kept its faith with the people, no previous congress that was so little controlled by sordid special interests, no previous congress so free from candal and manipulation and treach- ery to the public welfare, no pre- vious congress that so fully embodied the theory and respongtbilities of Nor do we Dbelieve that Collier's can recall any congress that ever did more to wrile in good faith the will of the | people into the statute books of the nation. “The World would not advise a man who believes in a Payne-Ald- rich tariff bill to vote for another Democratic congress. It would’ not advise a man who believes in gov- ernment by Wall street and special privileges to vote for such a con- gress, It would not advise a man who helieves in secret lobbies and in treaty-breaking and in hidden subsi- dies to vote for such a congress. It would not advise a man who expects an’ immediately millennium to vote for such a congress. But if any con- gress in a generation has earned a vote of confidence at the polls, it is this Sixty-Third congress now in ses- sion at Washington.,” FOUR PERSONS ARE SLAIN No Motive Apparent for Wholesale Murder. Chicago, July 7.—A family of four was killed by blows from an ax in their home in the German settlement of Blue Island, a suburb. The victims were Jacob Neslesla, a German laborer, seventy-two years old; his wife; their daughter, Mrs. Martha Mansfield, twenty-four years old, and her two-year-old daughter. The bodies and the blcod stained ax mutely told the story when the crime was discovered by neizhbors. Whether the butchery was the work of a maniac or of a person seeking revenge was not discovered first cursory investigation.

The registration at the Armory has passed Mrs. Edwin Carman, wife of the Freeport (L. 1) doctor in whose home Mrs. William Bailey was assassinat- ed, is a handsome woman, as her photograph shows. Mrs. Bailey called on the doctor, who says he did not know her, and after spending an hour was about to leave with a presecrip- tion he had given her. A hand smashed the glass of the window of the office on the ground floor, a pistol was pushed through and Mrs. Bailey was shot dead. Mrs, Carman, it developed later, had been jealcus of her husband.

Mayor McCuaig has obtained from Judge C. W. Stanton a temporary in- junction restraining Mrs. Teresa Senefield, a resident of Park avenue, nuisance. The injunction also re- strains the defendant from'removing or in any manner interfering with the furniture, musical instrument or movable property used in conducting the said nuisance. If a permanent injunction is issued in the case a penalty of $300 will be imposed and becomes a tax on the property. But this penalty will not relieve the defendant from other prosecutions for unlawful conduct. The law is a drastic one and sub- Jjects the property, both real and per- sonal, to seizure and sale, whether it is owned by the offended or some other person. Rigidly enforced, the law should soon put a stop to the lewd conduct of which the authori- ties here have frequently heard com- plaint.

There were meetings of the board of directors and national counci] and also the section on man- ual training and art and the state superintendents’ section. There was much maneuvering by delegates in behalf of candidates for president of the N. E. A. David Stafr Jordan’s managers were con- fident the California man would be elected, while D. B. Johnson’s friends. were sure their candidate would be the winner. - s of delegates from the sev- eral states were held at the various state headcuarters to choose candi- dafes fcr appointment on the nomi- nating committee. On the choice of these selections probably will depend the selecticn of a president, unless the convention overrules the recom- mendstions of the committee. D1. Johnson's friends assert they already have procured pledges from enough state delegations to insure the election of their man.

Feared Mob Would Act. Not until last night was any ac- tion taken in the matter, it being the desire to have the matter kept as ‘quiet as possible because of the fear ithat neighbors would form a mob and raid the home of the Bohemians, lo- ccated on the old Marsh Tree home- stead, although the crime was com- mitted last Friday. The feeling was intense and it was with much trouble. :that the cooler heads were able to keep the settlers from forming a mob. Struck With Ax. The Bohemians have been resi- dents of Northern for two years and are c’airied to be undesirablé citiz- ens. me time ago Arnold leaned them seven dollars. It -was- this oucy that caused the assaunlt.

Believed Him Dead. The Bohemians believed Arnold to be dead and ran, but the injured man soon recovered and although weak and covered with blood he walked to the home of Ed Runyn, justice of the peace, where aid was secured. The justice oelieved it best to have County Attorney Torrance take up the matter and this will be done to- morrow. Mrs. Arnold saw the as- sault but was powerless to assist her: husband.
