Necessary to Prevent Starvation I'm the
Philippines, It Il Asserted.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-The president
late yesterday afternoon sent mes
sage to the senate in which he says:
Il have just received cable from
Governor Taft which runs as follows:
Necessity for passage house tariff bill
most urgent The conditions of pro-
ductive industry and business consid-
erably worse than in No ember, the
date of last report. and growing worse
each month. Some revival in sugar
and tobacco prices, due to expectation
of tariff law. The interests of Fill
pinos in sugar and tobacco are extern
sive. and failure of bill will be blow
in the face of those interests. Num-
Der of tobacco factories will have to
close and many sugar haciandas will
be put up for sale at sacrifice if the
bill will not pass.
Customs receipts have fallen or
this month one-third, showing decrease
of purchasing power of islands. Gen.
eral business stagnant. All political
parties. including labor unions. most
strenuous in petition for tariff bill.
Effect of its failure very discouraging.
Vice Governor Luke Wright indorses
in the strongest manner all that Gov
ernor Taft has said, and states that he
has the gravest apprehension as to the
damage that may come to the islands
if there is not a substantial reduction
in the tariff levied against Philippine
goods coming into the United States.
very earnestly ask that this matter
receive the immediate attention of con-
gress AID that the relief prayed for
be granted"
The message then goes on to detail
the reasons why the legislation is nee
essary and again urges the passage Of
the bill, that the economic relations
of the islands with the United States
may be put on proper basis.

developed at the session of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican edi-

When the resolutions were presented
to the convention no mention Of dis

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Demo

denunciation. Two special rules were
brought in to expedite appropriation
bills and continue the legislation day

much as possible the minority's power
to obstruct legislation. During the de-
bate on the rule the Democrats voiced
their condemnation of what they de-
nominated Thursday Outrageous ac-

Republicans Stand Pat.
The Republicans declared that they
were willing to assume responsibility
for what they had done, and justified
the drastic rules presented yesterday,
Dalzell saying that unless this course
was pursued the Democrats could con-
sumo 1877 hours, or twenty-seven legis-
lative days, on roll calls on the senate
amendments to the appropriation bills.
1t was agreed on both sides that the
present situation sounded the death
knell of practically everything except
the appropriation bills. The friends

Indianapolis, Feb. 2S.-One of the
peculiar things about the case of
Knapp is that he made confession
of murders while he was in the Michi-
gan City penitentiary and it was new
er made public and no attempt was
made to arrest him on any charge
when he was released from the peni
Tertiary last year. If he had been ar
rested Hannah Goddard would not
have been murdered. There is much
criticism Of the various officials who
know of the confession for not max

Judge and Prosecutor Knew.
He told of the confession to Frank
McCray, then judge of the criminal
court, and Charles Wiltsie, then prose-
cutor. Womack said he wanted the
judge and the prosecutor to induce
Governor Mount to pardon Knapp so
that he could be tried for the Geb
hardt murder, but they refused, fear
ing Knapp might not stand by his con-
fession. that they might fail to convict
him, and he would then be free. Wo-
mack said his term and the terms Of
all the other officials who knew Of the
confession, expired before Knapp was
released from the penitentiary. and he
supposed that they had just neglected
to see that anything was done.
Nobody Seemed To Be Interested.
Deputy Warden Barnard, Of the
Michigan City penitentiary. says
Knapp was not patrolled. he was SIM
ply released at the expiration Of his
term, which was not the full ten years
for which be was sentenced, owing to
his good conduct as a prisoner and the
customary time allowance for such
conduct. Persons interested, it is point
ed out, could have known when he
was to be released. Judge Fremont
Afford, of the criminal court, was dep
uty prosecutor under Wiltsie and re-
members the trial Of Knapp well. His
impression Of Knapp Is the same as
that Of Wiltsie. Judge Afford said
that he was greatly surprised to learn
of Knapp's patrol, considering that his
record was so dark.
