The FOOD FAIR.
There Was Another Large At
tendance at Infantry Hall
This Afternoon.

There is very large attendance at
the Food Fair in Infantry Hall today.
and there promises TO be more people
than there was yesterday. when more
than 5000 admission tickets were sold.
Interest seems to be increasing over the
fair, and while no doubt much of the
patronage Is due to the desire 10 help
swell the teachers retirement fund. the
fact that the displays are so attractive
also calls out large number of people.

by the Shredded Wheat Company to
Mrs Elisha Dyer. Mrs. George il. shep-

THE PORTO
RICAN
TARIFF
House Republicans Expect to
Pass The Senate Measure
Without Amendment.

Washington, April 5.-The Republic
can managers of the House have SUBJ
stantially agreed upon - ogram rela-
tive to the Porto Rican tasiff bill. They
have canvassed the situation and have
decided to hold caucus or conference
tonight at O'clock at which the man
ayers will present their plan. This plan
is to concur in the senate amendments
and thus avoid all the delays ana
problems involved in an attempt 10
amend the senate provision. The man-
ayers will advocate the adoption or
rule which will allow two days for the
discussion of this proposition and then
bring IL to vote. A very prominent
Republican of the House who has can
vassed the situation, says that the prop
osition will be carried by a substantial
majority, larger than that by which
the original bill passed the House. The
managers agreed that the plan TO sub
stitute the bill providing a civil gov
Crnment for Porto Rico for the senate
provision would be bad policy. as there
was really little difference between the
two. and the senate provision had the
advantage of having been thoroughly
discussed in the senate and perfected
there.

Employers Negligence.

The second trial of the suit Of Ella
Reynolds against William c. Suddard
to recover $1,000 was begun before
Judge Douglas and jury this morning

the defendant and the latter is charged
with having been guilty OF negligence
in not providing proper safeguards
from machinery.
Miss Reynolds alleges that she was
set TO work at a wringer to put clothes
through il and that she was not given
any instruction as to the dangerous
condition OF the machine. owing To the
absence of a shipper or other proper
safeguard. Her hand got caught in the
machine and was torn. bruised and
lacerated. The defendant claims the
plaintiffs injuries were due to her own
negl gence.
Just after the opening OK the case 20
the jury, Franklin +. owen, counsel
for the defendant, asked that the jury
be allowed TO go 10 the laundry, where
the machine to which the acci-
dent was due was. Mr.. Stone.

Washington, April -Four members
OF the minority Of the naval AFFAIRS
committee. Messrs. Wheeler, of Ken
tucky, sixey of Virginia, Kitchen of
North Carolina and Vandiver OF Mss
ouri, united, join in report opposing
certain Items OF the naval appropria-
tion bill. Their report dwells especially
upon the failure Of the majority to
make provision for future supply Of
armor plate at reasonable cost. The
report says the minority agree with
the majority as To the necessity for
! purchasing 400 tons Of armor for the
Dattlesh. ps Maine, Ohio and MISSOURI,
even though at an exorDitant price, De-
cause longer delay would inJuFe the
ships and also subject the government
10 suits by Contractors. The report
then criticizes the majority FOR refus-
ing TO attempt 10 solve the question or
a future supply OF armOr plate notw tn
standing vessels already authorized viii
require "a 900 tons. adding:
1T seems 20 be pretty generally un-
derstood the armor plate FACTORIES will

formation comes from we are unable

fore the committee on the subject ex-

bitant. II not outrageous. Harvey zed

per ton, and no man connected with
either OF the factories in this country
has said TO the committee or TO any one
else as far as We know. that Krupp ar
mcr cannot be supplied as cheaply.
When the committee was considering
the armor plate question the two armor
plate factories were notified OF the fact

I'VE haveN been unable 10 find on in
vestigation where any one places the
labor cost in ton OF armor plate
above s1S5.50; the decided weight of ev-
jdence puts IL at S165 and much evil
dence entitled to weight as low as 1856;
the cost of the steel will seldom exceed
$50 which, together with the royalty

up the total cost of producing a ton OF
armor plate, this, of course. from the
standpoint of the purchaser. and does
not take into consideration the profit

plant or wear OF the seam.
I'VE submit that s545 Is an exorbitant
price to charge for armor plate. In

cessive.
