WASHINGTON, I). ('., July 24.— The passage of a tariff bill satisfactory, in the main, to President Taft, the House and the Senate, and the adjournment of Congress within ten days is now believed to be within sight August 4 is ained as the probable date upon which the special sessi >i will com to an end. SOLID WALL OF WATER SWEEPS UP RIVER WRESTLINGMATCH ENDS III A MILD RIOT "The invention is really that or Mr. Dawson himself, and is simply the Although the Hagerty measure does not outline the system in detail, Mr. Haggerty has frequently described it minutely to representatives of The Spirit, and this paper has published several articles on the subject. The Dawson & Bartow plan is <!<• scribed by the Johnstown Tribune as I a "certain new and useful improvement in system for ventilating mines and rendering first aid to entombed miners." Their theory if put int i practice, will render explosions in mines a tiling of the past, according to the opinion of seven first-class certificate mine foremen who investigated their invention. The Spirit has been favored with a communication from Harry Bartow, a merchant, of Seanor, Pa., in which is described a patented system of tubes for the prevention of mine explosions Mr. Bartow is the manager of tincompany that has been formed to exploit the system, which was invented by Robert ('. Dawson, assistant superintendent of the Beaver Coal Company, of Wampum, Pa. Headers of The Spirit are not unfamiliar with the system embodied in the Dawson & Bartow patents, as the method is one that has long been advocated by Hugh Haggerty, of this place, who has had it incorporated in a bill and introduced into the Pennsylvania Legislature. extraction of gas from mines by the suction method instead of by air pres sure. Very simple, indeed, but ai.-M» believed to be very effective. The method of suction is where the in ventive mind of Mr. Dawson shows itself, however. His plan not only takes out the gas in mines, but provides for it.s utilization 011 the exterior I or lighting <>r for power-generating purposes. Continued on Pago Three "Almost all of the mines today aru equipped with a fan or fans by which huge quantities of fresh air are forced into the workings and the gas driven out in that manner. (las being lighter Ih,in air, it floats along on top of the air currents near the roof. Mr. Dawson would not use fans to push out the bad air and gases. He would literally speaking, reverse his machinery and suck out the vitiated atmosphere. To do ibis, would be nee, essary to hsvc an engine on the exterior as at present. A pipe line would be established either under the lloor of the headings or imbedded in the walls. The most advantageous location would be beneath the floor of and at the side of the headings. At every forty to sixty feet or so there would be connected, by a joint, an upright pipe, which would extend up along the side wall of the heading. Prom this upright there would be extended, by an elbow joint, an arm of pipe across the roof of the heading. TEXAS STORM DEATH LIST RUCHES FORTY MRS.

How long this ntimh«»r. about one-fourth the output before the strike, can be built, no one can tell. There is a general belief in the car works district that none of the strikers will hold out much longer, but will report for work within a few days with the possible exception of some who are leaving Butler for other places if they can not get tin wage increase they ;r of To the twenty-eight dead that were reported yesterday, one, K, »\ Cnapner, of Waterlee; one reported killed at Eagle Lake, whore there was said to be no dead and three reported at Hitchcock.

Everything connected with the affair. excepting the weather, was auspieous, which is why the figures made by the official scorer got wet and ihe ink "run" so badly that correct figures as to the various matches that were played are not available. Keturned Punxyites, however, agree on the statement that llie members of tin- I >u Hois Country Club have made a splendid start in their efforts to provide a good course and that for beginners they played the game astonishingly well. They also agree on the proposition that while the rain intcrtered with their stick work the members of the club more than made up lor the loss in Hip hospitality they manifested in the way of entertaining their guests. ceremonies attending the opening of the new links of the L)ul»ois Country Clu b.

The rain spoiled the out door sports for the ladies, but in the homes of their DuHois friends to which they were taken from the depot in automobiles, as well as at the parties arranged for them in the evening, there was nothing left undone that would contribute to the pleasure of the occasion.Unless the Punxyites who went to DuHois yesterday are mistaken there is rare sport ahead for the members of these two clubs, and the local swatters are warned that they will have to po some to keep the lead they now have on the DuHois golfcs. Of the matches played yesterday 15 were won by Punx'y players and live by DuHois. HUSBAND AND WIFE AGREE 10 DISAGREE ADRIAN WALLOPS PHH Will BUILD ADDITION She was the widow of John T.

What say'st our friend Col. Bob Swisher, <»f Ml.

Mrs Abatl produced a roll of the long green that, in the parlance of the turfmen, would choke a horse, as purchase money for the Abati homes!- |l. and each of the litigants went in in opposite direction, Mrs. Abatl being accompanied by the third party.

The woman gave evidence that sinwas proud of her prowess In being able to lick her husband, smiled kraciously upon the "third party", and In general assumed a what-are-yougoing-to-do-about-it expression. The case was finally settled by Mr. and Mrs. Abati agreeing to disagree, and papers were drawn up to that effect.Thompson, who twirled for Adrian, fanned eight Pnux'yites.

Rain fell with provoking persistency and, as- the score keepers had no shelter, the records were so badly disfigured that a correct tabulation of what went on Is impossible. According to a local statistician who carried the official documents* the Giecklerites, during the 7 or more innings that went for a game, made no runs, three hits and eleven errors, to thirteen runs, nineteen hits and two errors for the Adrians.

They say that if the State board wants to sue let it sue in the event of the improvement being turned down, but it is overstepping all bounds when it tries to influence the vote of the citizens in advance.

How long this ntimh«»r. about one-fourth the output before the strike, can be built, no one can tell.

As the brothers proceeded their actions became more and more violent until the neighbors who. perhaps, are not well posted on Marquis of Queensbury rules, could not distinguish their actions from what is ?reneraly regarded as lighting. pete, the youngster, threw his "bind" so violently that the latter had dilliculty in calling the former what high-sounding names he had in mind.
