BOLD POLICY FAVORED
MANY REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF
SENATOR FoRAKER's WORDS.
Discuss His Utterances on the Tariff in
Congress-House Managers and
Party Harmony.

Many republicans In the House COM
mented today upon Senator Foraker's in
terview in The Evening Star yesterday,
in which the senator advocated bold
policy on the part of the republicans in
respect to discussion of the tariff. There
was general approval of Senator For
aker's position in that regard, although
the sentiment is not unanimous with re-
spect to the advisability of sweeping
Philippines tariff reduction.
It is said by prominent republicans in
the House that Congress will not hest
tate to act upon the Philippines bill for
fear Of provoking a debate on the tariff;
and that. the republicans of the House
are just as willing to let the democrats
talk tariff and to meet them in tariff de-
bate as their colleagues in the Senate
The question whether there will be Phil
1ppines tariff reduction bill is yet to be de-
tefm1ned by conferences among the repub-
licans Of the House. Such a bill must origi-
nate in the lower body, although after 1t is
acted upon 1t will be competent for u SINH
lar measure to be offered in the Senate. The
selves as to the advisability of offering the
Dill at the coming session. The feeling in
favor of doing justice to the Philippines is
just as friendly in the House as in the Sen
ate. The arguments advanced by Governor
Taft and supported by the War Department
are recognized.
Effect Of Party Harmony.
When it comes to a decision the question
which will confront the House managers
will be one of practical politics within
their own party, namely, whether the Of
fering of bill reducing the Philippines
tariff will lead to repetition of the fight
within the republican party similar to the
contest which was waged over the Porto
Rican bill and over Cuban reciprocity. II
such a prospect SCENE dimminent, 1t is
possible that the House leaders would hest
tate to prec.p.tate 1t on the eve of presi-
Dental election.

Summers Will Remain.

Senator Willard and Representative Nc
Carthy of Nebraska called ON the President
this morning seeking executive clemency
for some prisoners. Senator Willard has
not had any talk with the President about
the case of District Attorney Summers,
whose prosecutiongof Senator Dietrich, and
against whom charges are pending of using
his position to prosecute Senator Dietrich,
have caused so much talk. In view Of the
complications and the delicacy of the situa-
ton Senator Millard has refrained from
talking on the case. Prior to the indict-
ment against Senator Dietrich the Sum-
mers cause had been steadily supported by
Senator Willard.
1t is now we'll understood that the ad-
ministration has no idea OF disturbing the
District Attorney at this time, and he will
remain in his position until the case against
Senator DIETRICH has been disposed of, and
then the administration Will determine
whether he has not conducted himself in
way to justify his being retained for an
other term. His four-year term expired
just year ago, and he has held on since
because of the inability of the two senators
to agree upon successor. Had Senators
DIETRICH and Willard agreed upon some one
in his place, there might not have been
some of the rather sensational develop
ments of the past month or so.

pose the bill. The House managers do not
know how strong that opposition is at pres
ent. The dire effect on American industries
which was predicted by reason of free trade
With Porto Rico has not materialiZed. Con-
gress is now convinced that no harm will
be done American interests by the reduc-
ton on Cuban imports.
Believe No Harm Would Come.
1t is known that some of the most prom
inent men In the House believe that no
harm would result to American producers
by the reduction of the duty on Philippine
imports to 80 per cent of the Dingley rates.
The present law is 10 per cent of the Ding
ley rates.
1t is pointed out that the price Of sugar
In this country has not been affected by
free trade with Porto Rico and Hawaii nor
by the % per cent reduction from the Phil
ippines. It must be remembered, too, that
more sugar is brought in from Porto Rico
under free trade than is produced in the
Philippine Islands.
If there should be reduction of the Phil
ippines duty it would not affect the COM
mercial relations between Cuba and the
United States as fixed by the new treaty.
That instrument provides that sugar shall
not be admitted from any foreign country
at lower rate than is placed on Cuban
sugars, but as the Philippines constitute
American territory the stipulation does not
apply to them.

Barring two errors the Pittsburgs play

brilliant.
With big and noisy crowd to excite

PASSING FORGED CHECKS.
Charge on an Arrested Prisoner at
Chauute

Chanute. Kan, Oct. 2.-John E1insella
was arrested in lola by Officer Lopshire,
assisted by Chief Fuson, on the charge of
passing at least four forged checks at
Chanute banks
The officers seem convinced that Smith
is not the guilty party and believe they
are in possession of sufficient evidence to
convict Kinsella.
r. V. Bennington accompanied Officer
Lepshire to lola and identified the pris-
oner, who was living under the assumed
name of John Davis, as the fellow who
had formerly worked for him. The pris
oner was taken before Cashier Lindsay of
the State National where one of the
fraudulent checks was cashed and was
recognized and identified. Kinsella. is
rather reticent and does not remember
cashing any checks in July, the time that
the spurious orders were passed. While
clOseted with the officers and Cashier
Lindsay this morning he admitted having
Endorsed two checks now in the bank 8
possession According to Lindsay's state
ment the indorser of these checks signed
the forgeries as the chirography is iden-
teal. Thus lar the prisoner has not dis
played any great concern over his arrest,
but the officers are of the opinion that his
bold exterior covers a quakng heart and
expect a confession with possibly the i'm
plication of an accomplce. His prelfn-
mary trial is set for today.

names as Mr.. and Mrs. James Keener
and Howard Samson a family friend.
No intimation of their arrival had
been received until along toward noon
when they came in sight from around

of two sl1iffs which were guided to shore

And an investigation corroborated this
statement. All utensils necessary to
cooking were carried while two small
tents and plenty of bed clothing fur

weather. Each boat was small, one be-

other lacked a foot or so of beng So

AS they had no special reason for
stopping here the Nebraskans did not
