MIR. TAWNEY'S STORY.

Says Secretary Root Drafted the Porto
Ricnn Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Post
prints interviews with the Republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee on the authorship of the Porto
Rican tariff bill. Mr.. Tawney made
the distinct statement that the bill was
drafted by Secretary Root, but his col
leagues OH the committee were more or
less non.committal as to the bills au-
thorship. Representative Payne IN.
", chairman of the committee, said he
brought the bill to the committee on his
own responsibility.
"We became convinced" said Mr..
Payne, ''that some emu must be
raised for the island of Porto Rico. The
enactment of u tariff law seemed to be
the best way to raise it. I was con-
WINGED that the bill was a proper one
and I am still Of that opinion"
"It has been said that you stated in
the Republican conference that the bill
was drawn by Secretary Root"
II was asked in the Republican con
ference" replied Mr.. Payne, "if the bill
had not been drawn by Mr.. Root. I
did not answer that question"
Representative Dalzell (Pa.), who
ranks next to Chairman Payne on the
ways and means committee, declined to
discuss the bill or say whence it's draft
was received, as did Messrs. Hopkins
and Long. Representative Tawney
(Minn.) said:
Positive Root Is the Author.
"Thc first that the Republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee
saw Of the Porto Rican tariff bill was at
a first conference on the measure. Only
Republican members of the committee
were present at that conference. The
bill was presented by Chairman Payne.
There were but two other Republicans
on the committee, Messrs. Dalzell and
Russell, who, before it's presentation,
knew Of the existence Of such a bill or
of any plan to depart from the free
trade proposition"
"Wherc did the bill come from?"
"From the secretary of war, MI.
Root" replied Mr.. Tawney.
"Do you know that personality"
II know it personally, but not from
statements made by either Mr.. Payne
or Secretary Root" he replied. II was
at the White House and saw the presi-
dent before the Republican conference
was called and I told him that a state
ment would likely be made to the Re-
publicans of the house that the tariff
bill had been drawn by Secretary Root
and that the ways and means commit
tee in trying to secure it's passage were
only following out Secretary Roots
suggestions. The president answered
that if such q statement was made it
should be coupled with an explanation
that Secretary Root had drawn the bill
in the line Of duties of his Office, just as
heads Of departments often do, upon re-
quest"

THE MAN WANTS TO DIE.
Other Convicts Under Death Sentence
Are Nervous Over Taylor Cooks
Efforts.

Leavenworth, Kas., April 30.-Taylor
Cook, a convict in the Kansas peniten-
tiary under the sentence of death for
the murder of his wife ten years ago,
has asked three governors to sign his
death warrant He seems perfectly
sane, but when Governor Stanley re-
fused, six months ago, to sign the death
warrant, he hanged himself by his
handkerchief from the top of his cell
and only the breaking of the handker-
chief saved his life.
Fifty-three convictS at Lansing are
under the death sentence, but none of
attempt to secure a legal hanging
within the prison walls as q dangerous
notion. Tt might establish an un1leas-
ant precedent. A few of them Try to
argue with him, but most of them look
on him only as a crank. No legal hang
ing has taken place in Kansas for
twenty-five years.
Cook is generally supposed to nave
been insane when he murdered his
wife Her brother and his own children
write him sympathetic letters. He is
a tall man, 81 years old. with a smiling
face. This week, for the first time, he
consented to an interview.
II am in earnest" he said. TITS no
bluff I want to be hanged. I would
have no home if I were pardoned. I
don't want a pardon. Life has been a
failure with me and I want to die. I
am getting letters from people urging
me TO I'VE "A numDer are from 1dQ1eS
interested in theosophy. There is no
insanity about me. Tt doesn't pay me
to live
Deputy Warden Thompson inter-
rupted: What if I should come to your
cell some morning and say: Taylor
Cook, here is your death warrant prop
erly signed. Come on; everything is
ready"
Looking the deputy squarely in the
face the old convict replied: ut would

am ready to die. I wouldn't pay a
