POTASH TAX HITS " | 1 THE FARMERS HARD! I looting to Washington For Ratio! From Barman Exactions. Efforts continue to secure relief from the enormous tax Imposed by Germany iou e*j?ortH if potnsh to the United Btnten. Iu these efTorts all affrleultursl Interests nre deeply concerned for th>- reason that potash is an essentia! element of all commercial fertilisers. Realizing the seriousness of the burden ro Imposed. President Tnft and *ne state department have made rigorous protest to Germany, and the matter Is still pending. A representative of the stute department who visited Berlin in nn elTort to secure redress from tlie German government has Just returned to Washington, and further action by the administration la expected without great delay. OOl-Ial efforts to bring abont a favorable settlement have from the start been actively aided by the nonsyndlcate potash mines which made the (American low price contracts. Did Gormany Break Promises? | It Is understood that the state department had assurances from the German government when the tax law iwsg first talked of that nothing would be done which would Impair existing trade arrangements. These assurances proved to he worthless, and after Germany had secured the benefits of the minimum rates of our new tariff law the potash tax was put Into force. (President Taft in his message to congress may have had this fact In mind [when he said, referring to the successful working out of the maximum and minimum provision. "There are. however. unfortunately, instances where foreign governments deal arbitrarily rwun American interests within their jurisdiction in a manner Injurious and tnequl' aide.** It was when the flornmn potash syndicate found that Independent mines bud pot almost nil of the American business by tnaklii? prices nl>out 30 per cent lower than the syndicate prices that the law now cotuplaiued of by Amerletyt eonsttmers war demanded by th" potash trust and enacted by Che relehstnp with the avowed purpose to deprive Americans of the benefits of their ndvantacpous npreements, runninp in some cases until lOtd. The amount of the tax Imposed hy (Germany Is more than the entire cost *t the mines under the Americnn eontracts wltli nonsyndlcate producers and snakes the price on deliveries in the ^United States much preater than the (old exorbitant syndicate pflces.

The tax inw was passed, it Is assert(ed, with no other purpose than io de totrny 'Xistlnp contracts, to eoerce n 1* (potash ?n!ncs Into the syndicate and ?n to bring about a return to high Krices and take away the market made ere by nonsyndlrnte pro?lucers. 1 Until tbV? controversy arose It was mot generally known that potash In IworV -ib'c quantities was found only In Oeromny. The production Is and has jbeen for rweqty years controlled by a yndlcj te. which also fixes the price (that the world shall pay for this ne icesslty.

A muffler on the gasoline engine of hia automobile caused the death Friday night of Dr. John Alosius Hemsteger. a prominent payalcian of Chicago. He died from the effects of carbon dioxide inhaled on Wednesday while cleaning the apparatus on hia machine. The death la said to be the first of its kind on record. Hemsteger, finding a quantity of carbon had accumulated in the muiner ana engine cyunaers, poured a mixture of wood alcohol and kerosene into them to clean them out. He then started the engine and opened the cut off valve in the muffler. The garage door was closed and there wa? no other outlet for the forming carbou gas that rushed into the room. The phyBlclan was almost overcome, but managed to open the door of the garage, which let in the fresh air. He was taken to his residence, where ho died the next day. Physicians who hold an autopsv assert that death was due technically to poisoning of the heart by the carbon gas. Dr. Hemsteger wbs f?6 years old. WHOLKSALK POISONING. Nearly ttvery Ihwidrnt of a Texas Village Made 111. Six deaths have occurred and practically all the members of the entire village of Telfener, In Victoria county, Texas, are ill, ascribed to the eating of food prepared with flour containing arsenic. On Monday the village grocer poured several sacks of flour into a su;a barrel and one of hia first customers was Joe Ilrovvn, a negro. After the morning meal the entire family became ill, two of Ilrown's children dying the same night. Since chen four other deaths have occurred. How the drug and Hour came In con'act has not been determined An Honorable Kvception. The Hon. Thomas \V. Loylcss, editor of the Augusta Chronicle, was most agreeably surprised on Thursday evening of last week. Without any previous notice or inkling ot what was about to happen, he was requested by a delegation from a meeting of some citizens of Augusta, which had quietly assembled, to present himself, accompanied by Mrs. Ixvyleas. at the Phnnihor n* rv?_ merce hall In that city. On arriving! there he found about one hundred or more of the leading business men of that city, headed by Mayor Thomas Barrett, awaiting him. Mayor Barrett. on hehaif of those present, then presented Editor Joyless with a solid silver service, which had coat the donors an ever thousand dollars, as an expt< sslon of their appreciation of what Editor Loyless through the Chronicle and Individually had done for the advancement of Augusts. Editor T.oyless is fortunate in living in a city where the business men appreciate his efforts in its behalf, and In honoring him as they did. hoy honored themselves as well, ills rase is an honorable exception ro the general rule In too many cit'-M, and towns 'oo. for that uiattr. rditoi?. of newspapers don't even ci thanks for what to do for their cities 01 towns, for v hotn they labor n seasni and out ot season, to say nothing of a silver service The ltusIpeea men of August** know a goo-' ling when they lave It. and it is not surprising that tpey :>rf? p?-otid of the Chronicle and Its able editor.

Happy New Tear to alL friend and foe. 1 RICH CROOK DEAD WKALTHY YOUNG MAN WHO LJEO LJFK OP A BllUiLAIL Thonuw Wandlam Preferred the Underwortd to a Ufa of Luxurj in HIh Brooklyn Home. Death haB ended the career of Thomas Wandlase, the "white front" burglar, who was shot and fatally wounded while breaking Into the home of Thomas Tapley, a contractor in Passaic. N. J. Wandlese preferred the underworld to a life of luxury in the home of a fond and wealthy mother. He developed from a sort of "angel child" to a desperate criminal. Paralysis of his vocal organs ihortly aft^r his capture kept the police from obtaining any correct aocount of his amazing career. Jean Mitchell, aged 17 years, who called herself his "chicken stall" und assisted him In 22 burglaries, has pleaded guilty and will receive sentence. She declares Bhe is eager to get back to her home in the New England states as she has had enough of travel and nice dresses, the bait offered by Wandluss when she consented to become his accomplice. The police called Wandlass a "supper worker" and a "dress suit burglar." He called himself a "white front" burglar and was fascinated by the danger of robbing a house while there were many persons about. Often he would stop to listen to the dinner chatter before making Ills escape. Generally he selected a dark or dimly lighted parlor, jimmied the window und climbed in. During the months that the girl worked with him he relied upon her to "spill a faint" as she > called it, and draw the crowd while lie made his escape. Wandlass was about 30 years old. His mother, Mrs. Augustus F. Pernor, is a woman of wealth and reilnement In Hrooklyn, N. Y. Her first husband, Wandlass, was a hotel proprietor and well to do. He left i comfortable fortune, and when he died his son. Tom, was a model youngster and a great church worker. He was precocious, high strung and Lad a vivid Imagination. Just when he became transformed into n "bad man" no one seems to know, but he ran away from boarding school at 17 and the next his mother heard of him was that he wan a member of a tang of thieves. He was never what might be called a Rallies, except that he dressed well aud committed most of bis burglaries while clad in evening clothes. He was known to the police as Kid Howard and Thomas Hanley and had served time In several penal Institutions in the state of New York. 1?1KI> ON WAY HOMK.

Out of a total of 6.661 persona Involved In 1,463 disasters to vessels of all classes within the scope of the United States life saving service, only fifty-three were lost, and about seventy-four vessels were completely destroyed, according ta the annual report of 3. L. Kimball, general superintendent of the service, for the fiscal year, which ended June 30 last. The next expenditures for maintaining the service for the year were $2,2 4 9,376.66. The enactment of the bill passed at the last session of Congress b- the Senate providing for retirement pay for members of the life saving service and others or the field service and others of the field service Incapacitated for duty Is urved In the report. Of the 1.64f? vessels of all kinds which met with accidents, the life savers rendered service to t.047, valued with their cargoes at 510,17?,230. Other succor rendered by the life saving service Included the rescue of 137 persons from drowning, surgical aid to 60 persons suffering from gunshot wounds, broken limbs or bruises and the recovery of 150 bodies of persons who had met death through Ice or In other ways. Nine of this number were suicides. (Jr?<at Wave of Crime. Ab we staled in a recent Issue the statistics for last year show that there was a marked increase In the number of homicides in this country during that period. The number of deuthB by personal violence of all kinds In 1910. exeopt suicides and lynchings, was 8.975. as compared with 8,10.1 in 1909. This record is not confined to such cases of murder and homicide as result in arrest and trial, but Include deaths by every form of violence. The principal causen of these deaths were from quarrels, 1.0 19; unknown causes. 91:4; liquor. 70S; Killed by highwaymen. 930; jealousy, 6l 2; Infanticide, 125; highwaymen killed. 73: resisting arrest, 106; insanity, 225. The most striking feature of these figures Is the increase in murders committed by thugs, thieves, burglars and hold-up men. the number being an increase of 53 over 1 909. The laxity of our laws In regard to the punishment of thoso who nre guilty of taking the lives of other people will be at once recognized when It Is stated that In the faco of the fart that nearly nine thousnnd persona met death at the hands of other persona during last year there was only 104 legal executions during that period. This was three leas than were executed In 1909. when there was 107 legal executions for crime in the several States. Classified by States, the record of le.'al executions I3 as follows: Alabama. 6: Arkansas, 7; California, 2; Connecticut, 1: North Dakota, 1 : Florida. 4; Georgia, 7; Illinois. 2; Iowa. 1; Kentucky, 2: Louisiana. 4; Massachusetts, 1; Mississippi, 3: Missouri, 3; Now York. 9: New Jersey, 4: Nevada, 1: North Carolina, 2: Ohio. 4: Oklahoma, 1.

There were thirty-seven legal executions In *he Northern States and Vty in the Southern States. Of those execute'! thirty-three were whites, fl'ty-three vere negroes and one an Indian. The crime for which thus? execution.- took place were nlm > four for murder, nine for rap" and one for attempted rape. In addition to the above !e?al e*ecu?lons. seventy-three persons were lynched in the -o-'th and one at the North. This Is a fearful recorrt snrl tn? wo-pt part of It Is we ?rp dolnc little or nothing to orrect It.

Fletcher Golden, on eighteen-yearold white boy, hats been arrested at Greenwood in connection with the alleged attempt of robbery at the home of J. F. Plnson on Reynolds street. The evidence on which the arrest was made Is circumstantial, being based on the finding of a pair of trousers, which are said to have been identified as his, ,n a vacant building oenr the Plnson home with , some of the young lady's hair in one ! of the pockets Young Golden Is acarpenter and has been doing some work out In the country, though he comes home at night. An Interesting feature of the af- . fair Is that young Golden's father la | the man who shot at a thief who attempted to rob Piuson's store about a year ago and wont so far as to Identify the man by his voice, fixing It on a young man here who proved conclusively that it was a case of mistaken Identity. There Is considerable interest In the case, there being many differing opinions. The peculiar hour, 7 a. m., at which the robbery was attempted puzzles most people and also how It j was possible for a cut, so severe as to cut the young lady's hair, could be made without cutting her skin or ear. Golden asserts his Innocence. Awful Record of Criuie. Last year was one of bloodshed and crime, and will go down Into history as ex.^eedlng any other year In rhe number of murders und suicides In our hls'nry as a nation. During j the year an army of people died by j violence, the record being in round numbers, nine thousand suicides and thirteen thousand murders, making a total of twenty-two thousand deaths by violence. That Is an appalling record, and throws a dark shadow over the entire country. Every profession, callin^ and occupation have representative in this record or crime, and w. He the rat- of increase is very nil ch greater in some than In others i the Indications ail Doint to u nion cause, nud that is a lack of ap- ' prooiatlon of tlie sanctity of human life. Tble want of appreciation of the sanctity and value or human lire is not confined to the uneducated ' classes, nor is this appalling record made up of the deeds of the poor or Ignorant. It touches all classes. The rich and well-educated people havo contributed their full share to the carnival of Mood and utter disregard of the sanctity of human life that overran the country last year. Many thought thai the almost nni-' versal spread of prohibition over t.ii? country wonld have a marked effect in checking murders und other violent crimes, hut it seems tha* the voting out the legal sale of all li- I quors has had no effect in checking I these crimes, ns the record for last year is the worst the country has ever had in its history. There is ap much if not more 11- ' quors sold now in many places titan I ibere was sold before the prohibition law was enacted.
