THK UNITED STATES OBJECTS. Sends Note to Turkish Government, But Will Bide Its Time. Washington, Sept. IC-The United States to-day joined the powers of Europe who have protested to the Sublime Porte against the abroga tion of the capitulations und ?v which aliens have enjoyed certain territorial privileges lo Turkey. Secretary of State Bryan made this action public to-day when he announced, that Am bassador Mergenthau at Constanti nople had been ordered to register the United States' objection. The fol lowing statement by Mr. Bryan is a paraphrase of the cablegram sent Mr. Morgenthau: "You will bring to the attention of the Ottoman government that the government of the United States does not acquiesce in the endeavor of the imperial government to set aside the capitulations. Furthermore, this government does not recognize that the Ottoman government has a right to abrogate the capitulations, or that its action to this end being unilateral can have any effect upon the rights and privileges enjoyed under the ca pitulatory conventions. You will further state that the United States reserves, for the present, the discus sion ol' the grounds upon which its refusal to acquiesce in the action of the Ottoman government is based, and also reserves the right to make further representations in this mat ter at a later date." Reason for Postponement. A lt hoi. gh the noto to the Turkish government did not explain the rea son for the postponement of discus sion, lt generally is understood tho United Slates government does not wish to become involved in tangled European diplomacy on which the question of war between Turkey and other European powers depends. The Washington government will walt until the war is over. In the meantime it was believed the vigorous phraseology of the American note would serve as a warning to Turkey to bo circumspect in her treatment of American citi zens.

Mullins, Sept. 16.-A fearful story conies from Raines to-day. W. M. shelley, a well-known citizen of the .ounty, living eight miles south of liere, came to town and reported a tragedy in his immediate neighbor hood, in which he said that a young woman and her infant are thought to liave been murdered by the husband ind father. Thus. Animons, aged 21, and his wife, aged 20 years, a laughter of Steve Turner, were the parties to thc tragedy, said Mr. Shel ley. lt was about 2 o'clock Monday morning when the neighborhood was iroused by the cry of fire, and when Ibo neighbors arrived, according to Mr. Shelley, they found Amnions the sole survivor of thc family. Amnions claimed, it ls sa'.d, that he was Bleeping In a bed near the win tlow, while his wife and infant occu pied a separate bed; that when be awoke tho house was ab ze and fall ing In, and that he barely had time to jump through tho wludow for his life. Mr. Shelley statod that Am nions made several contradictory statements concerning the affair, and soon aroused suspicion. Among other statements attributed to Animons was one that the fire was caused by a lamp explosion. After the fire had sjient its force, and a hurried Investigation of tho debris made, the remains of the mother and child were taken from the fire and examined by those present, including the coroner. It was found that the woman's skull had been crushed and her arni possibly broken, and other mutilations of the body were in evi dence. lt was also repoi'vdd here that the child's body showed signs of foul play, and that the whole affair IP wrapped in suspicion. Sent to Jail. After a thorough and painstaking investigation the coroner's jury fell warranted In implicating Amnions, and he was accordingly remanded to jail to await trial. J. C. Spiro?. a member of the coroner's jury, was among the first to arrive on the scene, and he gave his version of the affair, which is practically tho same as that of Mr. Shelley, Mr. flpirow hod, together with the evidence, a copy of Ihejjfer diot. which \.; \s follows: "We, the undesigned; Juron find that Lola A m iv7nTB$Tde - ceased, came to her deatn by a blunt ended instrument, in the hands of Tommy Amnions. her husband. (Signed) D. J. Atkinson, foreman," and the balance of the jury. The sceno of the double tragedy is near where three negro children were burned to death in a house three weeks ago, while their parents nore away from home. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Springfield, Mo., Sept. 16.-Be tween 35 and 45 persons were killen or drowned and a score of* others were injured when the locomotive, baggage car and forward chair-car of the Texas Limited plunged through a trestle over Rush creek, near Leba non, yesterday, and was submerged by thc swollen stream. Most of the dead were drowned in the chair-car. A great portion of these were wo men and children. Those who were able to ?scape fought their way out by breaking windows and swimming to shore.

When the ac cident occurred he was thrown clear of the car and swain ashore. His wife and children died while he stood helplessly near by. One of the pas sengers in the submerged cars was Miss Mona Campbell, a nurse of St. Louis. She broke a window, climbed out of the car. and. standing in the water, rescued five passengers.

Holmes, director of tho Na tional Bureau of Mines, stated be ore the section of mechanical sci ure ?iud engineering of tho Ameri can Association for the Advance neiit of Science on Thursday that luring tho year of ll?13 the United Itatos has taken a decided backward tep in the particular of safety in nines, the death rate for 1913 being 5 p?.r cent grater than In lt? 12. Some of the causes and remedies sslgned by Mr. Holme? for this go ng backward .a safety are the fol ding: 1. The had econoimc conditions udor which bituminous coal minos ii the United States aro now o pera t d ?? unfortunately such as to eu ourage rather than discourage hnz rdous and wasteful mining. These onditions should be improved. 2. The coal mine owners and min n's, with a few notable exceptions, lo not co-operate with each other as ully as tltey should in making and nforelng better rules and rogtila lons for safety in tba minus. With al t this co-operation all progress in lafety is uncertain. 3. The States should have moro inlform and more effective inspec tion laws, and should give better sup )ort to their mine inspectors. 4. The natolnal government is un fortunately far behind the needs of he situation in its investigation in Dehalf of mine safety. The national inireau of mines is unfortunately un ible to meet the demands from tho miners or inspectors in different parts of the country for information to uso in better safeguarding lifo In the mines. It has not for use in this work a building or a laboratory wor thy of the cause, lt. has not at Its disposal sufficient men or equipment to enable lt to meet these urgent needs. "The United States has a greater mining industry than any other .ountry," said he. "If all these agencies will do their full duty we will in a few years set all the world * model of safety and efficiency." Tax Cotton Production ?
