Prioe, who was marching in the procession, and shot him twioe with a revolver. The first shot entered his back and the sec­ ond, fired after he had fallen into the arms of his marching comrade, went through bis head, killing him instant­ ly. Miller fled, pursued by every man in the procession. He went directly home, and as the leaders of the pur­ suing crowd started to enter the door he shot himself. His wound Is not fa­ tal. Price was a wealthy farmer, 65 years old; Miller is 60 and dissipated. He owed Price, and Price wrote him asking him to pay. He replied with a threat to kill Prioe and commit sui­ cide.

The vic­ tims, all of whom were Phlladelphians, were: Mazie Kennedy, aged 18; Maud Eutter, aged 19; Mamie Sullivan, aged 21; Florence Bond, aged 21; Bertram Osmund, aged 19; Roy Ricker, aged 18; Florence Densmore, aged 19. The one saved is John Moore, aged 21. The party was composed of members of the Elm Social club, one of the numer­ ous associations in this city organized for the promotion of picnics and other social functions. The above-named persons, most of whom resided in the southern section of the city, organized a picnic for the day. They embarked in gayly decorated wagons early Decora­ tion day and pitched their camp at Rose Glen, along the Schuylkill river, on the northern outskirts of Philadel­ phia. The party separated after din­ ner for a row cm the river, and those above mentioned decided to go in one boat. Heavy rains had made the mud­ dy stream quite high and the current was much swifter than usual. All the girls were huddled in the stern, one of the boys was rowing, and the other waa sitting in the bow of the boat After reaching the middle of the river and finding the current too swift for comfort, the boat was rowed toward shore. All this time it was carried slowly down stream. The boy doing the rowing decided to go through the locks and as he approached the dam he was told by the lock-keeper not to approach any closer. The warning was not heeded, and the young barsman kept on rowing until he found that the lock was closed. He attempted to turn the boat, which was then about fifty feet from the dam and twenty-five feet from shore, but he turned the wrong way. A moment later the boat was In the swiftly moving current. Real­ izing then for the first time that they were in danger, the girls began screaming, and tlje oarsman lost con­ trol of the boat Swiftly it was car­ ried toward the brink of the falling waters, and just as it reached the breast of the dam, over which thirty inches of water was passing, the entire eight stood up, and the boat went over stern first. The drop to the rocks be­ low is approximately twelve feet The boat struck the water bottom up, and as It disappeared the whole party was under it Nothing more was seen by the few persons who saw the accident for almost a minute, when the boat re­ appeared with one boy clinging to its keel. Then the other young man was seen to come to the surface and make a frantic effort to reach shore by swim­ ming. The six girls never rose to the surface. The boy who was swimming, and who proved to be Osmond, became exhausted and sank before he could be rescued. Moore, the other boy, who was clinging to the boat floated fully half a mile down the river, and his rescuers had an exciting time before they landed him in another boat He was greatly exhausted and was slightly Injured by the falling of the boat Oil Strack Near Taiana. The first oil found in the state Of Washington was struck Thursday at a depth of 200 feet, in a well being driv­ en near Tenino, by the Puget Sound Petroleum company. At the depth named drilling had to be discontinued because of the rapid oil seepage, which turned the bottom of the well into mud. It will be begun again when a larger boiler Is secured from San Fran­ cisco. The discovery indicates that the coast oil belt extends from California to Puget sound. Geologists believe the strata containing the largest quantity of petroleum will be found several hun­ dred feet lower here than In Califor­ nia.

Tha Constitution does not follow the flag ex propria vigore--of its own ftpce. 2. The United States may enter upon a colonial policy--has already entered upon it--without violation of the Con­ stitution. 8. This nation has all the powers that rightfully belong to a sovereign international state and may acquire territory without incorporating such territory as an integral part of itself. 4. The simple act of acquisition by treaty or otherwise does not automati­ cally bring about such incorporation; and incorporation is effected only by the will of the states acting consciously through Congress. 6. Porto Rico is not a part of the United States, but "a territory appur- w-:m CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER, tenant and belonging to the United States." Tariffs established by Con­ gress upon goods coming from or going to Porto Rico are valid and collectible. The Foraker act is constitutional. 6: Congress has full power over the territories, may regulate and dispose of them, may at its discretion extend the Constitution to them, may admit them as states, or may hold them in­ definitely as territories, colonies or de­ pendencies. 7. Porto Rico is not a "foreign coun­ try" and therefore the Dingley law, which levies duties upon goods Import­ ed "from foreign countries," does not apply to Porto Rico. Nor yet is "Porto Rico a part of the United States." It Is a domestic territory, over which Congress has "unrestricted control." The De Lima case involved the pow­ er of the government to collect a duty on goods imported into the United ; States from Porto Rico after the rati­ fication of the treaty of Paris and be­ fore the passage of the Porto Rico act The court said the government's con­ tention in this case was substantially a claim that Porto Rico is foreign ter­ ritory. The entire case turned upon that contention. The court held that the position was not well taken; that Porto Rico was not at the time foreign territory, and that therefore the duty Which had been collected must be re­ turned.

That case dealt with the legality of the exaction of du­ ties on goods imported from Porto Rioo into New York after the passage of the Foraker act providing for a duty upon goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico, and also on those shipped from Porto Rico to the TTnlted States. In this case the court Md that such exaction was legal and constitutional. The point of the two opinions considered colleotlvely is that Porto Rico was never, after the ac­ quisition of that island, foreign terri­ tory; that until Congress acted upon the question no duty could be collected, tout that as soon as Congress outlined iw IN A NUT8HBLL A gymnasium is to be established In a synagogue in Cleveland.

That the constitutional limitations apply to congress and that this feature of the constitution goes to the new possessions of its own vigor and with­ out specific act of congress. Opinion is divided as to whether tho Spooner act, delegating to the presi­ dent authority to govern the Philip­ pines, makes good this defect. Will­ iam E.
