WILLIAM |. ELKlNS DEAD.
Noted Financier's Career Ends as
a Result OF Blood
Poisoning.

New York, Nov. 9.--William l.. Ell
kins, master Of millions and one of the
noted, picturesque duo of financial
giants who made the coupled names of
Widener-Elkins famous for great en-
erprises in both Americas, in Europe
and even in Africa and the far east, died
Saturday night at his suburban mansion,
at Ashbourne, near Philadelphia. He
was II years old. Mr.. Elkins was
brought to his bed Monday because a
tight boot that he had worn had so irri-
tated his foot that blood poisoning was
threatened. Blood poison developed in
his limbs. BY his side at the end, with
tears expressing the depth and genuine
ness of his grief, sat his rugged lifelong
partner and friend, p. A. B. Widener.
William L. Elkins was a prominent
figure in industrial, commercial, fnan-
cial and railroad movements throughout
the union. He was born May 2, 1882.
Young Elkins was educated in the public
schools, and when Is became a clerk in
a counting room. In 1852 he Joined
Peter Saybolt in the produce and ship
ping business, and began to deal in ag-
ricultural products. Mr.. Elkins turned
his attention to the oil industry, and
in 1872 was one of the organizers of the
Standard Oil company. Mr.. Elkins was
specially conspicuous in the develop
ment of street railroad systems, and
brought about the organization of the
Philadelphia Traction company. He
was a director in the Metropolitan Trac-
ton company of New York, the West
Side and North Side companies of Chi
cago, the Baltimore Traction company,
and the Pittsburg Traction company.
He was an officer and stakeholder in va
rious other big corporations.

LABOR'S LEADERS.
VIII Discuss Important Topics at
American Federation Conven-
ton in Boston.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 9.-The conven-
ton of the American Federation of La
Dor will open in Faneuil hall to-day.
Nearly all the delegates are here. The
convention will be in session at least ten
days, and ATS delegates representing IT,
600 votes will be in attendance. One of
the principal questions to be considered
by the convention will be whether the
American Federation of Labor shall
recommend that it's affiliated members
ally themselves with that political party
which, in their judgment will best pro-
mote the cause Of labor 1t is said that a
resolution will be introduced implicitly
pledging the federation to the cause of
socialism Among the other questions
to be discussed will be those of indus
trialism against trade autonomy, wo-
men and child labor the eight-hour ques-
tion, trade jurisdiction, arbitration Of
labor difficulties and unionism in gov
eminent offices.

likely to lead I'd lengthy debate. The
senate therefore will be inclined to ac-
sept any measure the house may pass
that will put the treaty into effect, and
win indorse the eighth article regarding
noninterference with the sugar duty
during the life of the treaty. OF course,
1t is understood that one congress can
not bind the next, but it is claimed by
those who do not want the sugar sched-

houses will be pledged to the treaty pro-
vision. and that change therefore is
unlikely.
1t is probable that tho president will
transmit to the senate the text of the

THE EVELAND BRIDGE
Structure Being Built in Oskaloosa
Almost Finished.

The Sewers Manufacturing Com
pany which has the contract for re-
placing the span of the Eveland
bridge over Des Moines river, washed
out by the May floods, is busily en-
gagged with the framing of the steel
work of the span and much progress
has been made. Material is short
just at present but the company has
"a promise of the last car load of steel
this week, and when it arrives the
work will be completed in a very
short time. Mr.. Sewers says that
he will have the span erected within
ten days after the material is on the
ground and that travel may cross the
bridge along about the first Of De
cember
Immediately following the recent
order of the board of supervisors au-
thorizing either the purchase of a
new span or the building of the same,
Mr.. Sewers, who was awarded the
contract, went to Chicago and several
other places in the east in the effort
to purchase a span for the bridge,
but he abandoned this plan after a
weeks effort. He solicited assist
ance from six different companies
and the best that he could do with
any of them was the promise to have
the work out in ninety days. He
then purchased the structural steel
and iron and started to build the
bridge in his own shops. Almost all
of the work has been done and the
men are now waiting for the arrival
Of the last car of iron to complete
the work that can he done in the
shop. The rods, ties and beams, the
sway rods and many other parts are
all out and much Of the material has
been painted.
The board of supervisors and Mr..
Sewers who received the contract
for replacing the bridge, have labored
all summer at disadvantage from
one or another cause. The people
who use the bridge have been impa-
tient at the delays and the inconveni-
ence caused by the useless condition
of the bridge, but the end of the trou-
BILE is in sight and the, bridge will
soon be completed and in place.
The Sewers shops are crowded
with other work and the men have
little time to lose. A sixty foot span
is being built for the north part of
the county and this will be erected
within short time. Other jobs of
work are being completed and still
others are waiting their turn.

HER TARIFF PROBLEM
Legislation in That Direction AL
ways Unpopular in England.
A GLANCE AT The PAST
Brilliant Men Have Fallen over This
Political Stumbling BIock-The
"Corn Laws" and Their Re-
suIt--BitB of History.

Some one has well said that the pres
ent crisis in England regarding pro-
tective tariff is not government cri-
sis, but a national one, that if the
changes advocated by Mr.. Chamberlain
are effected they will reverse tradi-
tons and discard principles of politi-
cal economy that are Unborn in the
British people"
1t is prophesied that next spring a
upset the nations free trade policy. but
it goes without saying that in the
meanwhile three different factions of
the public will be toiling strenuously
in the cause individually espoused. The
factions are as follows-those who
stand boldly for free trade; those who
stand for a protective tariff, and mid
way between these conservative ele-
ment with Mr.. Balfour at the head, a
body that believes reforms are needed
to relieve the industrial situation, but
is averse to hasty, radical action.
? A protective tariff is bound at first
to be immensely unpopular with the

long has held as gospel buying in the
cheapest market and selling in the
dearest" A little review of English
history gives us some idea Of the Brit
ish temper on the delicate question of
taxation of food stuffs. Though per-
haps little vague about it, still all
have heard something of the excite
ment caused on the enactment of the
corn laws, and the state Of feeling that
forced their repeal few years later.
In the light Of impending events, it
may be of interest to go into detail
concerning past legislation on the mat
ter Of abolition of free trade.
The corn laws of English history
were a series of laws enacted at differ
ent times through, various centuries
(from 1496 to 1912 and until their re-

by smearihg with tarred stick, to de-
stroy their value as a food and make
them fit only as grease for wheels or
to be used for smearing sheep. with
bread purposely made dear, the import
of cattle and Of flesh meat prohibited,
and with lard and butter wilfully re-
duced from articles of food to grease
for wheels, there is no difficulty in ac-
counting for the frequent murmurs of
discomfort, and for the starvation
among the poorer classes in every part
of the kingdom" .-.E..
Now arose in earnest an anti-corn-law
agitation. In 1888, a small company of
men met at Manchester and formed a
new anti-corn association. Others
Joined with these men, Golden among
them, and from the moment of joining
Golden took leaders, part in the
work. He presented to his associates
a petition asking for the repeal of all
the laws relating to the Importation
of grain; active work was carried on by
him and other supporters of free trade,
and ere long the anti-corn league be-
came a power to be considered. And
not few landlords began to rank
themselves with those standing for a
repeal of the oppressive laws. 1t be-
came more and more question of the
good of the many.
In 1871, when Sir Robert Peel re-
turned to power it was as a protec-
zionist, but the great statesman soon
saw fit to change his mind in regard
to high tariff; and, though bitterly OPP
posed by members of his party.
brought about notifications of the
corn laws, and tariff reduction-the
first great step toward free trade. From
1916 to 1916, the newspaper writer's and
orators labored strenuously for the re-

peal the home and foreign grain trade
continued subject of elaborate legisla-
ton. The laws, during this long period
dealt with the 1evying of protective
duties, in imposing restrictions
amounting to prohibition, and in grant
ing bounties for the encouragement OF
expectation. Space permits considera-
ton only Of the corn laws Of the last
century, those in existence from 1916
to 1916.
Immediately after the Napoleonic
war in Europe, there was almost a
famine in Great Britain, there being
poor harvests at home and supplies
from abroad being cut off by Napo-
Icons continental System" devised
to destroy English power and COM
merce. The laboring classes and trades
men suffered severely, the agricultural
folk, landlords and farmers, alone en-
joying prosperity. But when presently
the war was over and ports open, for
eign grain came pouring in and prices
fell rapidly. The landlords became
alarmed and craftily spoke, in their
appeals for reforms, of the distress of
the English farmer. They asked par
lament to resist the Importation of for
eign grain, and insisted that, as the
cost of cultivation was higher in Eng
land than, in the foreign lands from
which the grain was arriving, the Eng
lish farmer be protected. In 1916, a
parliament, consisting almost wholly of
landlords enacted the corn laws, ex-
ecii::::;a,. .is foreign wheat except at high
rates Of duty, until the market price
should reach sos per quarter; and put
ting a like restriction on the importa-
tion of other grains.
Though considerable sympathy was
aroused by oratorical flights in behalf
Of the agriculturist, the law was looked
upon by many Of the people as afro
cious. Students averred that the indus
trial situation might have been other
wise relieved than by such a radical
measure as raising the price of common
food stuffs; that rents might have been
lowered, improved methods of culti-
walton adopted; that the corn laws
were passed by the landlords in order
to maintain high rents and keep out
foreign grain. The masses. as was to
be expected, did not confine their ex-
pressions of displeasure to verbal crit
icism, riots and lawlessness followed
