As I am writing a book on lawless legislation in the Unit ed States, I am gathering any striking bits of legislation which may be useful for my work." It has been so long since the House of Representatives passed the tariff bill over which the Senate is now wrangling that it naturally would have to be revised in some particulars to meet changed conditions Bristol Her ald Courier latter did not go far enough to satis fy all, the increase in the working hours of civil servants, by which it is hoped the government will be able to reduce the number employed, and other similar reforms has attracted popular opinion. As a result Premier Kato who was known at "Kato the si lent" is being called "the Premier who cts." Even in small things the Premier has set an example in economy. Under this regime expensive entertainments, except for foreign visitors, which are so frequent in Japan, are tabooed; champagne is not to be served at state dinners and government automobiles are to be used for official business only Another economy which will save 200, 000 yen yearly, is the abolition of the practice of firing a gun at midday in every city in the empire. x LICENSE THE TAUGHT Boston Transcript. It is suggested that singing teach ers be licensed, but would not mo're be accomplished for the general well? being if the system was applied to the pupils rather than to the master? THREE PERSONS KILLED AT SOUTHERN CROSSING Durham, Aug. 24. Col, James Marks Williams, coast artillery, U. S. A., of 525 Perry street, Montgomery, Ala., his wife, Mrs. Anna M. Williams, and his sister, Miss Williams, also of Montgomery, were instantly killed last night about- 10 o'clock when Southern railway passenger train No. 22 struck an automobile in which they Ajrere riding at a grade crossing three miles west of this city. , The accident occurred at a cross ing on a detour fromy the National highway between Durham and Greens boro', The automobile, it is said, ,'Was moving slowly, the detour being rough. The train, four hours late, Is renojted to have been moving rapidly. With the combined wreckage of the automobile ,and the engine's pilot scattering on "either side the train went some distance beyond the cross ing before it was brcught to a stpp. The train crew picked .up the bodies of Colonel Williams and the . two wo men! and placed them in the baggage car. Colonel Willliams is said to have shown signs of life, but he was dead when the train reached Durham. Aside, from a cut., on his right hand, his body was without a sign of injury His left leg was broken however, hear the ankle. v Mrs. Williams head was crushed Miss Tabor's body bore cuts and ab rasions. - With a small force of pen doing rough repair work, the Carolina and Northwestern' shops here are taking care of engines and rollintr stock without running the machinery, Col. L. T. Nichols, general manager, said today in response to' an inquiry from the Record as to conditions. He said the road was running at about normal capacity, and any delays in passenger trains were caused by waiting for' con nections. Colonel Nichols would not comment on the repc'it that the road would reopen its shops Monday morning .vith imported mechanics. Half a dozen good machinists and plenty of other help would be able to make all the repairs . at this shop, i t is said, and the company would not be dependent on the 35 men who walked cut with the Spencer shopmen. , 5 y&xtr - , The Spencer-shops now" navenetfr ly. p00 men, many . of.-them . fine'.. ma chinists, on the job, according to dis patches from there.' The work there has been more urgent of course and th(j Southern was forced "to employ new men. So' far as known the South ern is still ready to receive the strikers back with all rights unim paired. Asked if the Carolina and North western stood ready to receive its former 'shopmen on the old status, Colonel Nichols said that, he had re ceived no orders to the contrary. As the situation stands these men, whose wages are net before ' the railroad labor board, have no quarrel against their employes and their strike was one of sympathy. Thei'e has been no indication that they would return to work at an early date. Should the shops be opened Mon day, the management would have no difficulty in obtaining skilled men and laborers and the. prdbibjlities are that the old men would be allowed to find other jobs. Protection would , be af forded the new men and property bv the state ifi necessary, though there, has been nothing to indicate violence here. The strikers have con ducted themselves quietly"--an4 have given no trouble o'f any kind, so far as learned. The whole community which went much trouble and expense to secure the shons for Hickory, regrets, the strike and it is hoped that the men who have nothing against their em- nloyes will find it easy to return to their jobs.
