GROSvENOR FOR CUBAN BILL
Declares Present Tariff on Sugar Is
Unreasonable and Demands Change
In o.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill in the house to-
day was devoid Of enlivening features. The
most notable speech Of the day was made
by Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio. He answered
the critics who have charged him with in
consistency by. saying that reciprocity was
sound republican doctrine and that tariff
schedules we're not sacred. He predicted
that the time would come when there would
be an memorable demand for revision Of the
present rates.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois, chairman Of the for
eign affairs committee, reported back the
Cochran resolution Of inquiry calling on
the secretary OF state for re-
~garding the alleged removal by Canadian
officers Of landmarks along the Alaskan
border. The resolution was adopted with
out division. He reported back the Sulzer
resolution, calling upon the secretary OF
state for the report of the governor Of
Louisiana and all other correspondence re-
lating to the establishment Of a British
base of supplies near Louisiana and the
shipment of horses and mules for the use
of the British army in South Africa. The
resolution was adopted.
The house then resumed the consideration
Of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Mr.. Grosve-
nor of Ohio, the first speaker today. made
an earnest speech in favor of the bill. The
president and his cabinet, he said, favored
legislation on the line OF the pending
measure.
He said with great emphasis that he had
never yet permitted himself to worship the
tariff system as a fetch not to be touched
or examined. He warned the young repub-
licans about him that II they believed the
present tariff schedules we're to be forever
defended they had as well retire to private
life. The republican party. he announced.
must not chain itself to the tariff schedules.
With some feeling Mr.. Grosvenor then
answered the charges of inconsistency
brought against himself. He called atten-
ton TO the remarks on reciprocity made by
President Roosevelt at Charleston yester-
day, which he described as "the best speech
the president ever made and humorously
remarked that he wondered at the temeritv
Of the president in making such statements
While republicans in the house were de-
nounclng such statements as party disloy-
atty.
TIE present tariff on raw sugar, he de-
clarcd, was high beyond all reason. II the
20 per cent reduction were made the tariff
IN sugar would then be . per cent higher
han the trainers Of the Dingley bill in
icrd d. II the beet sugar people had an
Industry that could not stand against the
world with $1.4O a hundred protection. then
it had better be abandoned.
In conclusion Mr.. Grosvenor denied that
the pending bill constituted an assault upon
the protective theory. e..
Mr.. Weeks of Michigan followed with a
speech in opposition to the bill. He argued
that there was no obligation upon us. TO,
aid Cuba. 1t was ridiculous. he contended.
to say that because we freed Cube at the
cost of hundreds OF lives and millions of
dollars, that therefore we were under a
load of debt TO the island.

LINK OF EVIDENCE FOUND
BIoOd-Stained Hatchet in Professor

by Police.

DETROIT, Mich, April 10.-What the

which was found in the drawer Of a table
in Miller's kitchen.
Prof. Miller was the girls music teacher
and had paid her such marked attentions
that her father had asked him to keep
sway from the house. When he was ar
raigned at the police station this morning
what are supposed to be blood stains were
found on his shirt sleeves, his trousers,
shoes, hat and overcoat. A towel was
found in his kitchen with what are sup
posed to be blood stains on II. When he
was asked for ar. explanation Of the stains
on his clothing he gave none.
Girls Neck
Miss Jennett, who was 22 years old and
who would have become a mother in a few
months, was most brutally done to death
Just before ~ o'clock last night. She was

cut from ear TO ear. Her mutilated body

tion for Prof. Miller and the teacher was

uation very coolly when he was examined

NO SOLUTION OF THE MURDER
Key to Mystery Of HsywOOd's Death Still
Unknown to Police.
WILLIAM NJ JONES, SUSPECT, IS SILENT
Lincoln Man Arrested on suspicion,
Undsrsoes Thorough sweating"
but Throws No Light on
the Deed.

DETROIT. Mich, April I0.-The police
admit tonight that they have not reached a
solution Of the murder Of George H. Hey
wood, head bookkeeper OF the Michigan
Malleable Iron works. whose battered and
lifeless body was found at daylight this
morning within 100 feet Of his home on Am
herst street.
William NJ. Jones, who roomed in Hey
woods home and who was arrested on sus-
picion this morning, was still in custody to-
night. although a ''sweatbox" examination
lasting all day and this evening failed to
bring from him any damaging admissions.
Mrs. Haywood. who was escorted to police
headquarters at noon and closely examined
this afternoon and evening, was permitted
to return to her home tonight. The ON
GERS say that no information was secured
from her that would throw any light on the
cause of her husbands death.
Heywood's murderer first shot him and
then crushed in his forehead with some
heavy instrument. The bullet took effect
behind his right ear and in itself would
have caused death. The murderer then ap-
parently stopped over his victim and dealt
him a blow on the forehead.

Find Suspicious Hammer.

After Jones arrest officers searched his
room at the Haywood house. Jones was a
plumber and made a speciality of REP iring
gas stoves. In his kit Of tools was found a
machlnist's hammer which the officers as
serted fits perfectly the hole in Heywood's
forehead.
In a lot near where the body was dis
covered a revolver was found which Hey
woods young son at first positively identi-
fed as belonging to Jones. Later In the
day, however, the lad was not so sure OF
the Identification.
Jones was very cool and collected through
out his sweating and told freely all he said
he knew Of the tragedy. During the exam
nation Of Heywood's little daughter, Kate,
by the officers the fact was developed that
she heard a shot fired about 8 o'clock this
morning. The officers have located persons
who saw Haywood, who attended a dance
yesterday evening three blocks from his
home at 1855 o'clock. Mrs. Haywood told
the onlcers that at 3 o'clock in the morning
she gave Jones a headache powder.

Search for the Husbnnd,

AS her husband did not return during
the night Mrs. Haywood was very much
alarmed, and. arising early. she sent her
Oldest boy, Earl, aged II. out to see IL he
could find any trace Of his father. The
little chap had gone but a short distance
from the house when he discovered the
~lifeless> remains of the parent. The police
were notified and the body was removed
to the morgue m placed beside the re-
mains OF Miss %Jennette, who had also been
murdered but a few hours before.
An examination OF Heywood's body and
clothes showed that robbery was not The
motive. There was but the one wound,
evidently made with a heavy blunt instru-
ment, as it penetrated the skull and left
an ugly cut. Detectives were Immediately
put to work onfthe case and they arrested
William F. Jones, a roomer in Heywood's
house, The two men are said to have quar-
relied frequently,
At the station Jones was examined as to
his relations with the Haywood family. He
says his home Is in Lincoln, Neb., where
he has a wife and three children. He said
he first became acquainted with the Hey
wood family about hve years ago, when he
went to the house one day to mend a gaso-
line stove for them. He has been board
ing there since last February.
Freshly Discharged.
There was a freshly discharged cartridge
in the revolver found in the alley and said
to belong to Jones. DR.. w. H. Baker, who
examined Heywood's body as soon as 1t had
been found, is OF the opinion that the
wound was inflicted by a revolver held at
very close range.
Mrs. Haywood, her three children and a
~nelghbor, Mrs. Hobart, were taken to po-
lice headquarters at noon and examined by
Captain Of Detectives Mcdonnell. On her
way to the car Mrs. Haywood said, in ans
wer to a reporters questions, that so far
as she knew Jones had been in his room all
night. she said that twice during the night
he wanted to go out and search for Mr..
Haywood, but that she advised him not to
as he did not know where to search and It
would be useless. Accordingly he did not
go either time.
