TARIFF CUT FOR ISLES.
Congress Will Be Asked TO Revise
Philippine Schedule.

Congress Will Be Asked TO Revise
Philippine Schedule.
Tariff revision for the Philippine ISL
ands was the principal topic discussed AT
the cabinet meeting in Washington Fri
day, and as q result President Roosevelt
will recommend to Congress a change in
the schedule which is 80 per cent of the
Dingley rates
Secretary of War Taft has recon-
mended that tobacco and sugar from
the Philippine Islands be admitted to the
United States at % per cent of the Ding
ley rates, and he desires that all other
imports from the archipelago come in
free. The recommendation is made also
that the Philippine commission in the
islands be given authority to establish
the tariff rates on goods going to the
islands, since under the present law the
islanders have suffered undue hardship.
While the President does not intend to
bring up the question of general tariff
revision at the coming session of Con-
gress, any recommendation for such
change in the Philippine rates will pre-
cipitate tariff fight at the short SEES
sion.
The Philippine commission already has
prepared a scheme of revision which has
been made public for the purpose of OBJ
tanning criticism AID suggestions from
the business interests of the United
States In this plan some of the sched-
ules are raised and some lowered

The annual report of the auditor for
the PostofTice Department shows that
the fiscal business transacted through
the postal and money order branches of
the department during the last year

The deficit in the postal revenues there

The auditor recommends a change in
the system of fixing the compensation
of fourth-class postmasters and would
apply the same principle as applies to
the determination of the salary of a
presidential postmaster, a fixed salnry
based on the amount of the gross rc
ceipts of his office with a penalty by
fine Gnd imprisonment for increasing the
receipts of an Office by the purchase or
sale of stamps for commercial purposes
outside of the postoflice or its branches.

observations made by the bureau have
proved that low stumps produce more
vigorous sprouts than high ones. and
that winter or spring cutting is fol-

stumps in from thirty-five to thirty

The practice of permitting contractors

is one which works much injury to the

PREY OF 4 HUMAN VAMPIRE.
Three Cincinnati Girls Killed and Four
NIvsteriousIv AesciIed

Three Cincinnati Girls Killed and Four
Mysteriously AssaiIed.
A reign of terror in the outlying section
Of Cincinnati known as Cumminsyille has
resulted from three murders of young
women and assaults with intent to kill
upon several others. The city is appalled,
and the police are baffled. In each case
the victim was a defenseless woman. The
unsuspecting girls We're struck on the
head with some blunt instrument, and in
the cases of the girls who were killed, to
make death certain, the slayer beat in
the skulls and mutilated their faces. The
bodies We're found in remote and lonely
places. The three murders took place
within radius of one mile. There was
cunning behind the deed for the bodies
in two cases were afterward carried to
within a short distance of the railroad
or trolley track, so as to convey the sus-
picion that the girls were the victims of
accident. In fact, this was the original
theory OF the authorities.
1t is now believed that lunatic, or
a degenerate of the most degraded type,
is responsible for the crimes. -Four girls
who met a strange creature and narrow
ly escaped death have described their ex-
perienceS in such manner as to leave
no room for doubt.
\ wave of horror has swept over the
community and large reward for the
apprehension of the murderer has been
offered.
Everything points - the presence in
the community of human vampire who
finds joy in shedding human blood and
in witnessing the death struggles OF his
victims. He may be lunatic, escaped
from some insane asylum, who during the
day conducts himself nationally and at
night goes forth to search for prey. The
alienists show the existence of minds in
moral perverts that can conceive and
execute murders with such consummate
craftiness as to avoid detection. They
may be rational in other ways and have
a recurrence at intervals of the mania
to XIII. Possibly here is another DIR.
