Protected Interests Find
Way to Delay Legislation

to these industries than to have con-
gress create tariff commission. In
any event it means delay of at
least two years before tariff reform
legislation could be considered even
If it were certain that the commission
would recommend changes in the
Dingley act. In the light of past ex-
perience probably congress would ig-
more the recommendations of the COM
mission as it ignored the industrial
commission and every similar body
that has been created during the last
twenty years. 1t is well known
maxim in Washington that if congress
wants an excuse for not doing some
thing it creates commission to take
up and consider the subject which it
decides to ignore. 1t relies upon time
and events to create new issues and
bring forth new policies that will OBJ

II the fifty yseventh congress Greater

will do SO because the ultra-protection
leaders OF the senate and house be-
lieve that such commission would
be good thing from their standpoint.
1t would serve the purpose not only
oftaking 6utqf the congressional arena
discussion Of tariff during the short
session, but would relieve the presf-
dent of the duty of calling the fifty
eighth congress in extraordinary ses-
sion next summer. Protection leaders
greatly fear this contingency They
understand, moreover, that there will
be larger number of Republican re-
formers in the fifty-eighth congress
than were ever elected before and
they will not care to run the risk of a
roll call until they have an opportuni
ty to get into the best possible fighting
condition.

Hoboken N. j., Nov 20.-One of the
most startling disclosures in the his
tory of anarchistic plots was made
here today in the Mothers club of the
First Methodist Episcopal church by
Mrs. Lena Dexhe.mer of Willow ave-
nue., this city.
= She declared to United States sec
ret service detectives and to the Rev.
Charles l.. Meade, pastor of the church
that lots had been drawn three times
among New Jersey anarchists for the
one who should take the life of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Each of the three men selected by
lot, knowing that if he were successful
in the dastardly project he would be
executed, or if he failed he would be
killed by his fellow anarchists. at last
took his own life.
For the past year Mrs. Dexheimer
has been in constant dread of her life
and since her confession of the knowl-
edge of the anarchistic plottings has
been guarded by United States secret
service detectives.
= The confession of the plots against
the president was only told by Mrs.
Dexheimer while under the strong
emotional stress Of religious fervor.
She was telling of the comfort and
moral uplift that had come into her
life since her recent conversion to
the Christian faith, when her face
suddenly lighted up and she branched
of into the story of her association
with the anarchists and their designs
upon the life of President Roosevelt.
The Rev. Mr.. Meade let her go on
with her story and when she had fin
ished, warned all who had. heard it,
under the most solemn pledge, to not
repeat what they had heard.
A year ago she had learned of plot
- kill President Roosevelt. Lots were
drawn in house in New York and
the commission fell to young French
man named Mellow. He arrived in this

Washington, Nov. 20.-NeWs has
reached Washington through arriving
members of congress that petitions
are in circulation among the business
men of the country which urge the
creation of permanent tariff com
mission The idea doubtless was sug-
gested by President RoOsevelt's speech
at Logansport, 1od., where he was
forced to abandon his northwestern
Stumping tour to submit to an opera
ton on his leg. In that speech the
president came out squarely for the
creation of tariff commission, cloth
ed with authority to Investigate the
operations Of the Dingley schedules
and make such recommendations to
congress as the necessities of business
might warrant. 1t had been presumed
ever since that Tic president will in
corporate the commission in his an
nual message to congress, accompany
ing it with the recommendation that
congress pass the necessary legisla-
ton.
The ultra high tariff bodies Of the
country appear to have reached the
conclusion that tariff commission
would be good thing-for protection.
1t is known that they are responsible
for the preparation and circulation
Of the petition which business rien
througout the country are being asked
to sign. They have selected agents
in every large community in the coun-
try to handle the petition. These
agents have hired men to present
them to the business men. The
aggregate cost of the operation has,
according to conservative estimates,
been enormous. The presumption.
therefore, that the protected industries
are paying the bill is general.
Nothing could be more satisfactory

London. Nov 18.-Mr. and Mrs. An
drew Carnegie, returned to London
with the intention of sailing tomorrow

been obliged to abandon the voyage
for the present, because Mr.. Carnegie
is indisposed.
The whole family were affected by

Mrs. Carnegie and her daughter

he has practically recovered from his
illness. Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie expect
to sail FOR New York next week.
The Carnegies were at Caux, Switz-

Withdrawal of Charles G.. Dawes as
Candfdate-Busse Nominated
for State Treasurer.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May S.-The result
of the Republican state convention held
here in Machinery Hall to-day was de-
and what is known as the ''Yates-Hopkins-
Lorimer- Northcutt combination"
The convention indorsed the candidacy of
Congressman Albert ]. Hopkins, of Aurora,
for United States senator by a vote of
1Ol51k to 492h The fight against the in
dorsement was led by Judge L. V. Sher-
man, former speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. The convention named Fred
A Busse of Chicago, for state treasurer,
Chris Manner, of Chicago, for clerk of the
Supreme Court, and Alfred Bayliss, OF
Streator, for superintendent of public in
struction.
Congressman ]. G. Cannon was tempo
rary chairman and Lieutenant Governor
w. A. Northcutt permanent chairman of
the convention. Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of
Chicago, was chairman of the committee
on resolutions. The platform adopted in
dOrses the national and state administra-
tions. declares in favor of a liberal pension
for the disabled survivors of the war with
Spain and for the widows of those who
fell in that struggle; approves the policy of
protection, under which labor has been
given Sleduy employment dI increasing
wages" approves all organizations that will
benefit the tOiling masses; condemns all
combinations which restrict business and
create monopoles, and favors a reciprocal
trade treaty with Cuba.
The convention finished its labors and ad-
journed this evening
Tonight Charles G. Dawes formally an
nounced his withdrawal a candidate for
United States senator, giving out the ad-
ditional following statement: "RecogniZ-
ing that the expression of a convention OF
l 800 delegates must be considered as fairly
representative of the will of majority
of the party, with feelings of deepest graf
itude to the friends who have so Loyalty
supported me and with only the kindliesL
feelings toward my opponents, | hereby
announce my withdrawal as a candidate
for the United States Senate"
Senator William +. Mason said 81 will
succeed myself as United States senator
from Illinois. | have made no fight for
delegates. If it were a straight Republi-
can convention it could have nothing to
do with selecting United States senator
Certainly a convention made up by bru-
tally unseating regularly elected delegates
and seating those elected by ballot box
stuffing and Doodle could have nothing in
common with Republicanism. These ulti-
mate effects will be TO elect me and to de-
feat Mr. Lorimer for Congress"
The consensus of opinion among the del
egates is that to-day's action of the con-
vention settles the senatorial contest
