NECESSITY FOR PASSAGE OF
TARIFF REDUCTION BILL
URGENT.
GOV. TAf- MAKfs S CNG PLEA
PRESIDENT URGES ACTION AS
A MEASURE Of Hu.
MAINLY. ..

Washington, March 2. - President
Roosevelt yesterday sent message tc
congress urging action on the bill pro-
viding for tariff reduction. The presi-
dent says:
II have Just received a cable from
Gov. TAFT which runs as follows:
Necessity for the passage Of the
house tariff bill is most urgent. The
conditions OF the productive industry
and business is considerably worse
than in November, the date Of the last
report, and Is growing worse each
month. There is some revival in
sugar and tobacco prices, due to ex-
pectation of q tariff law. The Inter
ests Of Filipinos In sugar and tobacco
are extensive and the failure of the
bill will be blow in the face of those
interests. A number of tobacco fac
tories will have to close and many
sugar plantations will be put up for
sale at sacrifice If the bill does not
rass. Customs receipts have fallen OF
this month one-third, showing the de-
crease OF the purchasing power OF the
lAtdHuSs. I-@uSTdI DuSluesS Is SAdSldHJ.
All political parties including labor
unions, are most strenuous in the Pc
tjtion for the tariff bill. The effect OF
its failure very discouraging.
The president reviews the condi-
tons on the Islands, which he says
give g-1unds for grave fears of
, famine, and urges that the matter re-
ceive the immediate attention OF con-
gress, and that the relief prayed for be
granted. The president says:
81 ask action in the tariff matter,
not marely from the standpoint OF
wise governmental policy, but as
measure Of humanity IN response to
an appeal TO which this great people
should not close it's ears.
1--WE have assumed responsibilities
toward the Philippine islands which
we are in honor bound TO fulfill. A
permanent basis Of future prosperity
can be assured IL the economic rela-
tons of the islands with the United
States ara put upon satisfactory
basis"

Alfred Knapp for the First Time Es-
presses Some Remorse.

presses SOU1E hCFFbSNSS.
Hamilton, Ohio, March 3. - Alfred
Knapp was yesterday visited by Her
man Iittleman Of Cincinnati. father OF
little Emma Littleman, the victim OF
Knapp's first murder In Cincinnati.
Littlemau was unable to identity
Knapp as any man who he had ever
seen or known. The most Significant
feature of the interview was the tact
that for the first time Knapp ex-
pressed some remorse and showed
signs of breaking down before the en-
ragged father Lfttleman stood OUT
side the cell, and after he had looked
at Knapp. said:
.T have never seen the man before.
do not care to look at him any
more"
Knapp said: 81 am just as sorry as
can be that little Emma is dead. She
bad hair and eyes ike yours"
Knapp Sheds Tears.
As I.ittleman turned away tears
stood in Knapp's eyes. This was his
first demonstration in that way.
In the few months Knapp lived in
Hamilton he showed vicious teuden-
cies. w. B. Carr, who employed
Knapp, says Knapp one day while at
work on the third floor of the mill saw
a nice young woman, accompanied BY
a lady, passing in the street. He had
a large chisel in his hand, which he
hurled at the couple, although ne
knew them not. Later he attempted
TO kill an unknown passing woman by
hurting large chunk of iron out OF
the window
Cincinnati. March 3.--Since it has
been determined TO arraign Alfred A.
Knapp at Hamilton to-day, call spe-
cial jury there and have trial as
soon as possible for the murder of
Hannah Goddard, wife No. 3, the ef,
forts OF the city and county officials
here have not been relaxed in securing
evidence regarding the murders OF
Emma Littleman, Mary Eekhart and
Jennie Ccnnors, wife No. 2, the three
crimes which Knapp confessed to
committing in Cincinnati.
The Knapp family all agree in their
statements as to Alfred being insane,
but they differ in other matters. His
father says Alfred will be better or
dead than alive, but his mother wor-
ries over such an ending. His broth
er, Cyrus, and his sister, Mrs. Wenzel,
are doing all they can for defense,
and have created much sympathy in
the neighborhood for the aged parents
and the Knapp home was thronged
yesterday with visitors and filed with
flowers.

to the control of this country has
been phenomenal. The people of
Porto Rico now find a market in the

the year preceding that transfer; and
the people OF the United States find
market in Porto Rico for more than
hye times as much of their products
as in 1897. Figures just compiled at
the treasury department covering the
commerce between the United States
and Porto Rico in the calendar year
1902 and compared with the figures
OF preceding years fully sustain this
assertion. They show that the value
OF merchandise shipped from Porto
Rico to the United States In 1902 was
Ss,634,176, against $1,943,251 in 1897.
and that the value OF merchandise
