ATTEMPTED SUICIDE TWICE,

 His Own Life.

James l.. Blair Tried Twice to Take
 His Own Life.
 St. Louis, Oct. 30-The Republic of Thursday morning says:
 While MT. Blair is still lingering between life and death at his beautiful country home, "Airdrie,' in St. Louis county, developments of a startling na- ture have occurred with regard to the tragic collapses of MT. Blair, one of which came October 19, while he was being taken home on the private car "Kinloch" after a visit to the four courts; the other on the south porch of his home last Saturday.
 By his own admission, information of which has been given to the Re public, MT. Blair attempted suicide on the afternoon that he visited the four courts He took a quantity of mor- phine before he left his suburban home, and from later developments evidently ingeniously planned dra- matic climax to his life, while feigning to punish those who had accused him of misdeeds.
 Since the dramatic episode at the four courts. the friends of MT, Blair who were acquainted with the facts have been forced to believe that his ef- forts in regard to bringing to justice his accusers were superficial.

PHILIPPINE TARIFF
LAW BADLY NEEDED


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-President
Roosevelt in conversation with some
of his congressional callers today,
dwelt upon with serious emphasis,
the necessity for the enactment of
the pending Philippine tariff legisla-
ton He said that in the last few
days cablegrams had been received
from Governor Taft, strongly urging
that the Philippine tariff bill be en-
acted, and pointing out that failure on
the part of congress to provide for a
lower tariff on Philippine products
would result certainly in hardships to
the people of the islands, and probably
to a recurrence of serious disturb
ances. Indeed Governor Taft is of the
opinion that recent outbreaks, insti-
gated by bands of ladrones in the is
land of Luzon, are due largely to a
feeling of discomfort that is growing
throughout the Philippines. The condi-
tions in the islands are said to be bor-
dering on distress and the president
in discussing the situation with
members of congress, appealed
strongly to them for the enactment
of legislation that, in the opinion Of
the administration, would remedy
the present difficulty. Senator
Lodge and other republican senators
are making an effort to secure the
passage of the tariff bill, but they have
little hope of. success.

that the Cuban reciprocity and Pan

each days delay in acting upon them

extraordinary session of the senate.
The president has reiterated his de-
termination to call special session

ure of either one or both of the trea-
ties. So far as can be ascertained, the
president has not determined upon
any date for the opening of the ex-
ira session, if one should be called, but
it is regarded as likely that it will
be practically right after the close
