worn mi\i tired woman, n moth' i who
v.us making a brave struggle for tun anko
of hi.' children, yet too proud t<> let liar
neighbors or lier family ltnow i<lie was
suffering, 111 and hungry.
'Mi.'. Cniherlno Von Valltonbui'g was
starving when our attention was called
to tlio case," said Mr:'. Saiilo Haley, agent
lor tho Associated Charities in Sun An-
tonio.
"1 have no doubt that her Illness wan
naused principally by lack of sufficient
lood," r,.ila N. 1*. A' ciy, inuyor of ilol-
yoke, Mass., and an old fl'lend of tho
fine New England family from which
Mrs. Von Valkcnburg came.
HAD A DIFFICULT TIME.
"The tain of Mrs. Von Valkcnburg was
trought to tho attention of tho Asso-
ciated Charities n week ago," said ill'.
Haley. "She had been living at 1 True-
heart Street with her two little children
ui.d, from what 1 could gather, had been
having a dllticult time to niako bom
ends meet. When I was notified of hei
Illness I called at her rooms and found
the mother was actually suffering fron.
Hiarvatl' ii, without means of any kind.
Wo had her removed to the ( ity Hospital,
but she w as too far gone. After her death
un hi'iui l was held, resulting In a verdict
oi death Irom typhoid fever brought on,
110 doubt, said thu physicians, from want.
In lfisponse to our telegrams. Mr. Avery
came from Holyoke, defraying all ex-
pen.aii(l taking care of the orphaned
children."
Mrs. Von Valkenburg died Friday. Tha
body was held until the arrival of Mr.
Avery, whose name was gained from let-
ters of the sick woman. As soon as it
was seen that death would result Mrs
Haley telegraphed to Hol.voke. One of
Mrs. Von Valkenburg's dearest friends
was Mrs. Avery.
CAME HERE AT ONCE.
Mr. Avery at once left for San Antonio,
but on hia arrival Friday morning was
told that Mrs. Von Valenkburg was
e'.ead. Ho arranged for tho funeral, which
took place yesterday, and also arranged
to have the two children sent to his
home in Massachusetts pending informa-
tion from Mr. Von Valkenburg, who in
an employe of the Government In tho
Philippines and Is there now.
It seems," said Mr. Averv when asked
nbqut the matter at the ' St. Anthony
Hotel last evening, "that Mrs. Von Vai-
kenburgh was temporarily In need. 1 do
riot know why that was. I do not know
wl.at position her husband has or what
Ids salary is Ha had been sending her
small amounts of money. Sho formerly
lived in St. Louis, but had been residing
In San Antonio. I think, about two years
Bhe was very proud. The families resid-
ing in the neighborhood had no Idea she
was ill nerd. They would have come lo
her assistants willingly.
"She never Intimated that anything
was .vronr in the little house where she
and her two children were almost starv-
ing I have no doubt her Illness was
caused principally by lack of sufficient
food. The death certificate says her
death was caused by typhoid fever."
Mr. Avery lefl for his home last night.
Mrs Haley in speaking of the case
expressed her regret that It was not
called to her attention in time to save
tile life of Mrs. Von Valkenburg.
"II is tho saddest case." snld Mrs
Halev "T have ever had In all my ex-
perience."

Engineer I3 Killed in Wreck.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 21—Englneer
J. B. Robinson of Alliance, Ohio, was
Killed tonight when his train, knowh as
No. 215. on the Erie and Pittsburg divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
wrecked at Youngstown, Ohio. When
near youngstown the engine left the
tracks and turned turtle. No one except
Robinson was Injured. The cause of the
accident Is unknown.
BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 21 —For four
hours and a half tills afternoon Presi-
dent Taft was closeted with three mem-
bers of his Cabinet, discussing changes
lo be recommended in the interstate
commerce and antitrust laws.
Attorney General Wlckershain pre.
sented to the President a tentative draft
of several of the proposed changes, which
Mr. Taft In part approved.
The conference of the Cabinet was at-
tended by Secretary of the Treasury Muc-
Vcagh, Secretary of the Navy Meyer
and Attorney General Wickersham.
When the conference had been ad-
journed until tomorrow President Taft
announced that no definite conclusion
had been reached on the several metiers.
The framing of tho amendment to the
interstate commerce and antltn.st laws
will be left to the commission designated
by tho President. The Attorney General
will make to the commission, which is
to*rtiect In Now York August 20. a def-
inite statement of President Taft's
wishes in the matter, which will form
the main features of his forthcoming
message to Congress.
MEND LAW SIMPLE MATTER.
Mr. Taft. declared tonight that as a
result of the report, made by the Attor-
ney General he was convinced that the
amendments deemed necessary to the
Interstate commerce law will bo simple
matters to deal with. Tho bringing about
of a coordination of the executive de-
partments eoncerned In the enforcement
of the Interstate commerce and antltrjst
laws, he said, could also be readily ac-
complished.
The proposed amendments to the anti-
trust law offer gieater difficulties, and
it was to this law that tho conference
today was largely devoted.
EAR GREAT BOND ISSUES.
One of the subjects tentatively disposed
of today was an amendment to the In-
terstate commerce act looking to a prop-
er supervision and restriction to prevent
excessive Issues of bonds and stocks
of companies owning and operating in-
terstate commerce railways.
One of the plans approved by the
President is designed to relieve tho In-
terstate Commerce Commission of i.iuch
ot the work that Is now heaped upon It.
It Is Intended here that after Investiga-
tions of violations of the Interstate com-
merce law fiom which prosecution may
result, shall lie conducted directly ei'Vi'
by the Department of Justice or by the
Bureau of Corporations In the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor, instead of
as now by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission. It Is lielleved that such a plan
would be better for tho railroads and tho
people.
The President desires a revision of the
duties of the Department of Justice and
the Interstate Commerce C" amission,
looking to the effective cooperation of
these agencies.
Secretary MacVeagh laid before the
President a list of torty candidates for
appointments on the tariff <on,mission,
authorized by the Payne bill. The Secre-
tary said he had been unable as yet. to
make a selection of any ore of the can-
didates and askod for more time. The-e
is somo talk now thnt the cormnlsslon
will be limited to threa or at most flvo
members.

Infernal Machines Are Hurled at Of-

Trooper Who, However, Escapes
Unhurt—Women AI30 Aid Mob.
PITTSBURG, P11.. Aug. 21.—A night of
wild rioting among tha striking working-
men closed the week at the Pressed
Steel Car Company's plant in Sclioen-
vllle.
A daring attempt, partly successful, to
Mow- up the office building of tho company
was made. Tills was the signal for seri-
ous clashes between State troopers ami 1
strike sympathizers I11 which a dozen or
more men were Injured.
Shortly after 10 o'clock tonight more
than 500 women and children gathered
ebout the company's restaurant In Me- I
Kee's Rocks and were partially dispersed
by mounted troopers. One woman, hold-
er than the rest, stepped out from the
mob. and drawing a gas pipe loaded with
jowder, threw It at the feet of a trooo-
er's horse. The bomb failed to explode.
Tho crowd of women again formed 111
the streets and as a last resort a fire
hose was played on them. This means
was effective.
While the angrv women swarmed the
streets, a concerted attak was made t.pori |
the company's restaurant from I lie r-ar, !
and setting upon negro cooks with holies,
pokers and cooking spoons, about fifty
women beat an entrance into the k'tch-
en of the establishment and made off
with five barrels of potatoes, a barrel
of onions and even cauldrons of steam-
ing soup.
While the women held tho attention
of the troops a more serious riot occurred
near a viaduct over the Pittsburg & ljiko
Erie Railroad Strike sympathizers gath-
ered there and began stopping sireet
cars and holding passengers up for close
scrutiny.
Three men who could not salisfactor-
torlly explain their presence In McKees
ROcks were bodily hurled through a ear
window. When the men fell trim (lie
car. members of the mob I11 the street
brutally attacked them. The three men
were dragged to the edge of the viaduct,
fifty feet below which lay tlio tracks of
the railroad, and only escaped being
thrown over by tho arrival of a detach-
ment of troopers.
Shortly before 11 o'clock an attempt
was made to blow up the office building
of the car company, a three-story frame
structure erected close to the stockade
near the company houses. Nitroglycerin
caps were thrown over the stockade and
over twenty feet of basement rock sup-
porting the office building was torn
away by the explosion.
Shortly after 11 o'clock a street ear
from Pittsburg was attacked by strike
sympathizers and over a dozen men, pas-
sengers 011 the car, were severely beaten
and finally rescued by troopers.

UGLY RUMOR AT THE CAPITAL.
Blaze Starts in Store Owned by Kin of

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 21-Word
reached here after midnight tonight that,
the ccntial portion of tho city of Mon-
terey is burning and that tho federal
telegraph office is on fire.
Aii telegraphic communication between
Monterey and tliii city and Monterey and
Laredo has been cut off.
It is not known whether the fire has
any connection with tlm political disturb-
ance at Monterey, but the fact that it
started in the wholesale drug store owned
by tlie son of General Trevino, com-
mander of the Monterey military zone,
and the opponent of General Reyes, <s
considered significant.
The fact that the Rank of Nuevn T.eon
was reported in daneer is the source of
still further apprehension, for if tho fire
was of Incendiary orl«ln design* on that j
Institution would lead to grave compli-
cations.

CANNED-MEAT GERM FOUND.
Like Salamander, It Can Survive Heat
or Ordinary Sterilization.
In the course of an Investigation of
army rations conducted by a British War
Office committee a curious fact has come
to light-a fact which may absolvo the
tinned meat makers from one of the
worst charges ever brought against them,
that of knowingly packing putrid ma-
terial In their cans.
It was found that cans of meat packed
In the ordinary way (subjected to the
usual precannlng sterilization by heatl
might keep In good condition for months
or even years in a cool place, but when
taken Into a hot climate would suddenly
become "blown" and putrid. Manifestly
this could not be due to rusting through
of the can, for If It were the sa«iie hole
which let the air in would allow tho
gases of decay to escape, and 110 "blow-
ing" would result.
The bacteriological studies suggested
by tills discovery resulted In the finding
of a bacillus—to which apparently 110
specific name has yet been given—which
may not be destroyed by the usual ster-
ilization. may remain dormant for long
periods if the can is kept In a cool place,
and then suddenly develops and putrlfies
the meat when the tropics are reached.
It Is not a specific disease germ. Its sole
ability being to cause decay in meat.
In other words, meat In which this un-
usually tnugh mlcrolj>e happens to bo may
receive the regulation cooking and cleans-
ing treatment, be carefully and properly
canned, keep for years, and then sudden-
lv "go bad" when taken Into the field
for use In a tropical or semltroplcal cli-
mate. As a result of tilts discovery the
committoe recommends that canned meats
be sterilized for one hour at ft tempera-
ture of 2-'.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Tills treat-
ment apparently may be depended upon
to cook the life all out of the new sala-
mander-like germ and to render the can
Hie in any climate.—N«w York Press.
