Capital Observations (Special Cor r o*jk>ixlence) Washington, July 3.?President I Roosevelt is now at sea, literally, but mentally or in any theoretical sense j he has never been "at sea." Before passing through the Panama ('anal on his way to the Hawaiian Islands, he is expected to touch at -Uaiti, Porto Kicp, the Virgin Islands vjhiil Colombia. His visit, to the South American republic will be the first ever paid by a president of the United States to a South American country, and has caused gratification in Latin-American quarters as a continuation of gestures by our government meaning to indicate that panAmerican solidarity is becoming more ami more a feature of policy. The sea trip will end in August^ when the president will land at some port on the Pacific coast, and make a leisurely trip across the country. t * * _ * Before leaving Washington the president delivered, on Thursday night, a radio address in whicn he reviewed the accomplishments of his administration and stressed his purpose to continue- a program for the betterment and .;aeci?pity of the met., women and children of the nation. He took note of criticisms that have been made, and asked merely that each citizen weigh for himself (he i situation, and realise how much bet- 1 ter conditions arejbvw than before the "new deal" was put into operation. / r ^ * During the recent session in handling legislation alTecting veterans, congress undoubtedly bad in mind the soldier vote, but there are politicians as well as veterans who will concede upon thoughtful Consideration that the dreaded vote of the element mentioned is and generally v lias been much exaggerated. While of cPurse 4 the ex-soldiers, their relatives and others whom they can influence arnount in general to a considerable body in any particular community, still the "soldier vote" is to a considerable extent a doubtful quantity, and cannot be delivered in bulk to any candidate. Furthermore it is to be remembered that riot near ail of the veteran- favored ail of the demand made for legi-lat ion. A ca-e '.'.at will have milch bearing upon the -ubje, t i- that Senator Arthur Kobn-on, a Republican of Indiana, who niu-t go be to re the voter.- for recirtti'on or'-, delrat tin.- year. The main leatute- of hi- niicei' have been In- championing the interests t tie bonier -ei vice linn, and his denunciation of the pie-cut administration for economy in the way of reduction in the allowances for veteran-. lie ha- been blatant in hi.- e.\\ conations, and there is little else in his record. He is himself a veteran, land to oppose him the Democras have nominated Sherman Mmtoii, who also served in the World War, able and popular, but not so loud-mouthed regarding his attachment to the veterans ami their vote. The outcome of this contest will be interesting. * * * ? During the recent congress no action was taken upon proposed legislationv which would have given the Federal government certain jurisdiction in cases of lynching, thus leaving with the states a matter which may properly be regarding as within "States Rights." Theoretically lynching cannot be justified, but in certain cases the people, particularly' in the South, cannot be convinced that it is not the quickest, surest and most J Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Cm MeC.ee, Copyright, MOKK POLITICAL IH)I*E FROM FLAT ROCK flat rock, ?. C\ june 14, 1U34. deer mr, edditor: ? i am sorry to have to report that trubble has flared up again in the flat rock muny-oippal campane and h small amount of blood has benn shed by one of the present encumbranU. yore corry spondent, mr. mike Clark, rfd, by far the brainest man in the race, has with-drawed as a candy-date; this left torn head, his competitor, as the only aspirant for the high otTis of counselman from ward no. 3. art square, who weighs ""445, is being* urged to oppose him. he says he mought come out next week. while a meeting was being hell in front of the scholl house lawn friday night, some one flung a big rock at judd Clark when he said that whoever said that he said all of the other candy-dates were fools told a lie, and jit struck' him betwixt his left ear and shoulder blade. a right smart of high pressure i? being brought on yore corry spondent, mr. mike Clark, rfd, to re* enter and get back into the race; the counsel do need a good hizncss man on the same, but it is getting tbo dangerous in our fair citty to tell the whole truth and nothing but? on the stump. it seems that the citty treassure excepted I or 5 bad checks for taxes and licenses ansoforth, and there is a movement on foot to make the pressent mayer and poleesman pay these checks or withdraw, they have refuser! to do so up to now. it will run up pretty close to 11$, and they feel that the town should lose same .instead of them. a right smart of dirty work was aired at a resent meeting and several lies were passed in the counsel, hut no licks took place. they are badly di\ ided on who is the boss of the e.w.a. and the o.e.m. work within :h<* copper rate limits. some graft vva- accused, this is the hottest campane flat rock has ever befoar eniuyed. and it wont be over till august in. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd, corry spondent. feasible method of handling revolting crimes. Lynching in general has been given an impetus of late because of great delay and the frequent miscarriage o'f justice. * * * It is not necessary for President Roosevelt to take a vacation for the sake of health, as his condition seems to be ideal mentally, physically and spiritually. A great factor no doubt is his worryproof temperament and his unfailing good humor. It i? said that no one has ever seen him at the White House when he was not his genial, active self. * * * There is no provision in the Federal constitution for an acting president. similar to a case in some of the States for an acting governor when the governor may be temporarily absent, While President Roosevelt is away from the United States the seat of government will be located wherever he may be from time to time. If an emergency should arise doubtle* he would re-turn as speedily as possible by the quickest methods of transportation. * * * The tax rate in the District of Columbia during this fiscal year which commenced on the first instant is $!.:>(> on each $luii of a>-cssfd value of taxable real estate and tangible personal propertv. That i- the total levy, and the property owners here are exceedingly fortnuate because of -uch low taxes, although man\ do not realize ;t. and some local citizens may not even know the facts as compared wi'h other loealit ie-. Property here is assessed at its full value, or is -upposed to be, and not at a lower va.nation as ;< the ease generally el-ewheie, but it is doubtful if many piece- of property are actually rated at their market value here. ? * One of the South American countries.

I The paved surface inchned aharply to the street. Away he went, his plump] legs going up and down furiously. A round shrub hid him entirely from the vjew of drivers. Down the street at the same moment came a taxicab, bowling along in this comparatively quiet section, at a fair speed, though! under ordinary circumstances, not a [dangerous one. The little yellow head, the little blue waist, the shiny red-and-nu kel velocipede popped out all of a sudden 'behind the shrub and rolled jauntily J into the path' of the oncoming car. ! It was a thing to make the heart tj^rn over. 1 There was a scream that could be heard for bloeks. Hut it was not from that plump baby. Only the shriek of the trusty brakes as the taxi driver brought his car practically to u stop and let the little tow head ride on across the street. Shortly thereafter an easy-going nurse ambled out of the apartment house and fetched the child to his home. Again, near a achoolhouse, three little children playing by a big tree between sidewalk and curb. Without warning one dashed to the street. An automobile rounding the corner at a very moderate rate jerked to a stop not a yard from the child. Once more, on Assembly street, amid that jumble of trucks, mulecarts and cars of marketers, the traffic moved slowly up the crowded thoroughfare. A little fellow in blue overalls suddenly appeared around I the side of a parked truck. The line of passenger traffic came to a jolting, grinding, screaming halt. The child, perfectly unconcerned, crossed the street. In any one all three of these cases observed by this writer within two days there might have been a fatal a'ccident. Had there been in no case could the driver of the car striking the child buve been held to blame. Deaths and injuries to young children constitute a large and tragic section of the motor accidents. In .many cases involving small children the motorist is not to blame. Parents, teachers, all who have the gui iauce <<f small children, should make it. their business to teach their small charges at the earliest possible age the cardinal principles of safety on the street.?The State.

Woods, 52, turned an automatic shotgun on the guests at a hause party given -by his eon^n-law here early today, killing three of them, and then fatally wounding -Sheriff Chas. C. Miller, 38. who had been summoned to the scene. | The shooting occurred at 3 a. m. at the home of Arthur Janson, where Woods had made his home with his I daughter and son-in-law. Besides Sheriff Miller, the dead included Dr. Stanley Homers, 31, prominent physician here; Lloyd Hayes, 35, of Bast I Tawas, and his wife, 31. Kock Hickley, also a guest, was slightly woundIC(i Sheriff Miller, hurrying to the scene of the wholesale slaughter af! ter getting an urgent summon from neighbors, encountered Woods at the back door of the Janson home. The two men exchanged shots. Although the sheriff emptied his revolver at him, Woods escaped unscathed, but one of the slugs from Woods' gun struck the sheriff in the abdomen, and he died shortly afterwards in a hospital. With a calmness that contrasted strangely with the fury tljat had attended the killings, Woods paused after slaying Doctor Somers and Sheriff Miller to take his two grandchildren to a neighbor's home amid the terrified guests, killing Mr. and Mrs. Hayes and wounding Hickey. After the shooting Woods walked to the county jail at nearby Tawas City and surrendered to Margaret Densted, a maid in the sheriff s home.^ News of the early Sabbath morning killings spread quickly, and deputy sheriffs and state troopers were mobilized <by dawn to guard against any threats of violence towards Woods, who was locked in the county jail. East Tawas and the neighboring town of Tawas City are on the shore of Lake Huron, about 50 miles north of Bay City, Mich. The house party was being given by the Jansons for a group of friends - who had stopped off here Satuidaj night while enroute by yacht from Detroit to Georgian bay. j The shooting started just a.-> the guests were leaving. Woods encountered Doctor Somers on the 1 front porch and killed him instantly. I Neighbors who heard the commotion I called Sheriff Miller and Woods I rushed through the house and met the 'officer at the rear door, wounding ! him fatally. After taking time out1 to remove his grandchildren Woods then rushed back -into the house, spraying the interior with slugs, shooting both arms off Lloyd Hayes, j Mrs. Hayes, standing near, was also struck by the same barrage, .'jbey died in a hospital a short time lkfet. The guests fled through doors and windows to escape the gunfire. Hickey darted into a bathroom and slammed the door. Woods followed him and poured a volley through the door, wounding Hickey in the arm. Running outside, Woods riddled the front of the house with -bullets and blasted out the lights. One shot struck and killed a dog. When he arrived at Tawas City jail Woods still carried his gun and ammunition. Sheriff Miller's deputies followed him. Miss Densted, the maid, was the only one at the jail when Woods arrived. To her he V&ve hi- gun and bullets, and sat down to await the return of the officers. Sheriff Miller is survived by his witlow and three children. A veteran of the World war, he had been sheriff ,-ix years. Doctor Somers, graduate of the Detroit College of Medicine, is survived by his widow and a twoyear-old son. The Hayes couple left two children. The melon crop of the state was badly damaged by rains a few weeks ago, and about half the acreage is completely ruined. The remainder? | about 10.DOG acres?will produce only a very small crop.

Kussell MacMichael, 9, was killed at Muncy, Pa., when he was hit by a car that was being driven by United States iSenator Morris, of Nebraska.

Three-fourths of the children in Greenville county are immunized against diphtheria as a result of a vaccination campaign by the Kiwanis club of Greenville.

The Duke Endowment was disclosed yesterday as^the objector halting the allotment of $2,767,000 by PWiA to a water-power development in Greenwood county to compete with the Duke Power company, from which 1 comes 58 per cent of the endowment j income for colleges and hospitals. A hearing was held yesterday on claims that the application for the allotment j to Greenwood county was made with-' out hearing adverse interests. It was claimed that the project cost was underestimated, one large textile manufacturer \yas subsidized by cheap power, and unfair cbmpetition outside Greenwood county would result.
