PLAN FOR CUBA'S RELIEF
RECIPROCITY BILL TO BE RE
PORTED SOON.
REPCBLICAN WAYS AND MEANS COM
MITTEE MEMBERS WILL BEGIN
THE WORK TO-DAY.
TBT TELEGRAPH To THE TR1BrxF.l


Washington. Feb 1S-The Republican mem
hers Of the House Ways ard Means Committee
Will hold a conference tomorrow morning to
consider the subject Of tariff concessions to
Cuba under a reciprocal trade arrangement.
While various propositions. some Of them obvi-
ously designed TO defeat the movement for re-
lief 10 Cuba, have been presented 10 the House
It IS safe to assert that the WAYS and Means
Committee. IN the initiative Of Chairman
Pane, will shortly report bin favorng the
most liberal concessions to Cuba that can be
obtained at the present session
II is intimated from a trustworthy source that
the conference tomorrow will devote itself
mainly to the consideration of a somewhat
novel proposition formulated by Mr. Russell. If
Connecticut Ttis. in effect is that law ba
eracted granting - per cent reduction on
Cuban sugar and tobacco based on "eradu-
ated scale" The term graduated scale" means
in this sense that the - per cent reduction
shall he effective only for the first wear after
which the reduction will b. lowered 10 20 per
cent. and thereafter = per cent taken off every
year until the fun tariff rates are restored on
all Cuban products. As there is no reciprocity
in this it is not thought likely that the measure
could get throrrn the Senate. evel though ,ht
beet root magnates might be strong enough 10
force it through the House Hence it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that. n Chairman Payne and
other Republican leaders on the Ways and
Means Committee permit the Russell idea 10
prevail in the bin that win he reported IN tho
House, the Senate can be depended on 70 eIimi-
nate that feature rom the measure. and compel
the House 10 accept straight reciprocity bill
This statement is based the knowledge tnat
none of the real leaders OF the Senate approve
the Russell graduated scale" and on the fur
ther knowledge that the beet root lobby does
not WELD the influence in the Senate that il
Yields in the House.
The Senate leaders hope Of course that the
Ways and Means Committee viii reject Mr. Rus
sells plan. but if it does not they viii not hes-
tate to amend the bin when II reaches their
chamber In other words. the Senate has de
termiued to afford relief TO Cuba-and the great
est measure Of relief praCtiCa ble-on a reCipToC-
ity basis and thus in the first legislation on the
subject lay a permanent foundation for the clos
est possible commercial relations between the
United States and Cuba. When this is done
It Is believed that every problem connected
with Cuba's unique relations 10 the United
States will be solved except 70 unimportant
details and that with the Platt amendment
binding the Cuban Republic TO the United states
in indisSoluble bonds, there viii he neither
danger Of annexation nor of separation.

snow was brought near the machines by about

gang Of men. Large streams of water spurted
rom the machines into the cutters. The ma
dimes could be drawn by horses through the
streets and there loaded. but the difficulty in
the way Of this is the absence of water connec-
tons.

DEATH FROM PARALYSIS.

Robert Roam was stricken with a
stroke of paralysis Tuesday evening.
He remained in an unconscious con-
dition until about half past three yes
terday afternoon, when he died. Mr..
Roam was a cabinet maker by trade
and was located for number of years
on Iron street. About year ago
while employed as a clerk in J. S.
Bachman's liquor store, he slipped and
fell, breaking his hip. He was taken
to the Sunbury Hospital, but never
fully recovered from the effects of the
tall. His death occurred at the Giger
Hotel on East street, where he had
been boarding for the past year. He
was about eighty years OF age, and is
survived by three sons and three
daughters, George and Clark of town,
and William of Orangeville, and Mrs.
Charles Taylor, Mrs. Jane Rinker and
Miss Elizabeth Roam, of Bloomsbury.
The first named son is the foreman oi
the COLUMBIAN Office.
The body was removed to the home
of Charles Taylor on East street from
which place the funeral will take place
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock.

There is no shortage in the Stloup
fund except by bad investment. BY
the wills of David and Esther Stroup
four thousand dollars were left, the
income of which was to supply destl-
tute widows with light and fuel. The
state tax of S per cent. for collateral
inheritance was deducted from this
leaving the principal only $500. We
are informed that the auditors have
examined this account, and that here
after it will be included in the town
statement. The investment on which
the loss occurs was not made by W..

President of Council.

Bloomsbury Bottling Works Robbed.

A gang of thieves have no doubt
been making Bloomsbury their head
quarters for the past several days.
Not content with the booty obtained
at the Ikeler house Monday morning,
they continued their depredations
Monday night by breaking into the
Bloomsbury Bottling Works located
at the corner of Main and Lenard
streets. They entered the building
by prying open the side door. The
safe by the use OF some explosive,
presumab y nitro-glyccrlne, was blown
open. Mr.. Gersting, the manager of
the establishment, is always very care
full not to leave much money IN the
safe over night, so that the haul was
not very rich. He thinks that they
probably secured about ten or twelve
dollars. From a drawer in the safe
they secured the key to the beer
vault. What they took from this
apartment will not be known until
the inventory is taken at the end of
the month, but Mr.. Gersting thinks
that there is barrel of beer missing.
There is absolutely no clue to the
robbery. In the afternoon on Mon
day, three men claiming to be UNI
brella members, appeared in the I'M
mediate vicinity of the Bottlng
Works. They were very observing
and not only surveyed the building
from the corner but walked down
along the side of it. There is no
doubt but that this is the guilty party
and that the afternoon visit was to
determine how the raid was to be
made.

ATHOlAIMsAN EsTIMABLELADY
Mrs. Martha n. Mckinney Passes Away at
Her Home on Market Street.

Mrs. Martha H. Mckinney, relecit
of the late David Mckinney, died
early this morning at her home on
Market street, after protracted i'll
ness. Heart disease was her greatest
affection, but the unconquerable bar.
Tier old age shares in the cause of her
death. Had she lived until June she
would have been eighty years of age.
Mrs. Mckinney was daughter of
William and Elizabeth (Willets) Nc
Kelvy and was born June 2Sth, 1922.
The surviving family consists Of
three children, Mrs. DIR. w. M. Reber
and w. H. Mckinney, of town, and
Mrs. r. c. Drinker, of Bethlehem.
She is also survived by sister and a
brother, Mrs. Harriet, wife of Rev. A.
A. MARBLE, of Norristown and Isaiah
McKelvy, of town.
Mrs. Mckinney was a woman of
whom much good can be said. She
possessed many rare and admirable
attributes, and her life was charac-
terized by deeds of kin lness and
charity. And now in the fullness OF
years, she passes away with the respect
and love of all those who knew her.
She was member of the Presbyterian
church and was always faithful and
devout.
At the funeral which will be held
Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, a
large concourse of people, will silent
ly attest the esteem on which she was
held. The services will be conduct
ed at the house by Rev. d. J. Waller,
Jr. of Indiana, Pa, and lnterment
win be made in Rosemont Cemetery.

TIE CENTENNIAL MEETING.

The meeting at the Court House
last Friday evening to initiate the
Centennial movement was not what
was hoped for and expected. The
room should have been filed with
people, but there we're less than a
hundred present, and many of our
prominent citizens we're conspicuous
by their absence. II there is to be a
centennial, it must have the help of
everybody. If the labor and expense
is left to be borne by few, the sooner
the project is dropped the better.
Mayor John r. Townsend called
the meeting to order, and was elected
chairman, and Geo. E. Elwell was
chosen secretary. Mr.. Townsend
spoke of the amount of labor that
would be required to make the cele-
bratlon a success, and urged that
every body should lend helping hand.
He suggested the appointment of a
general committee to consider the
whole scheme, decide what is best to
be done, and appoint subcommittee
for all necessary purposes. The fol-
lowing persons were appointed on the
general committee:
Col. !. G. Freeze, J. P. Welsh,
Louis Cohen, J. c. Brown, H. B.
Clark, w. S. Meyer, DR.. Reber, G..

Meigs, J. G.. Wells, F. p. Pursel, Jas.
Magee, William Chrisman.
After remarks by DR.. J. P. Welsh,
Rev. M. E. McLinn, Rev. d. N.
Kirkby and Col. Freeze, the meeting
adjourned.
The members of the committee who
were present remained, and agreed to
meet on Thursday evening (to.night)
at 8 o'clock at the Court House, at
which time it is hoped there will be
full attendance.
