M'CLEARY Is HOPEFUL
~ OF HIS RATE BILL

Washington, Dec. 26.-Representa-
tive McCleary Of Minnesota is making
a confident claim for his maximum
and minimum tariff bill. He revised
the measure he introduced early in the
session, reintroduced it and has been
taking soundings in congress to learn
the sentiment.
It is his judgment, after talking with
his colleagues on the ways and means
committee and with Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, that If any tariff measure
passes this congress it will be maxi
mum and minimum bill, which will
give the president wide discretion to
work out reciprocal trade relations.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has
reintroduced his bill along the same
lines.
Senator Aldrich has talked to Mr..
McCleary about his bill and is ready
to speed the measure in the senate
without amendment as soon as it is
disposed of by the house.

the locomotive to ascertain what the

in the cab, while the others stood on

The PRESIDENT REMOVES :.
DIST. ATTORNEY BAXTER

washington, Dec. 26-Irving Bax-
ter, United States district attorney for
Nebraska, has been removed sum-
marily from Office by President Roose-
welt. The announcement of Mr.. Bax-
ter's removal was made at the White
House during the day.
District Attorney Baxter, who was
appointed to Office last spring, prose-
cuted on behalf of the government the
case against Richards and Comstock,
cattle raisers who were charged with
fencing Illegally the public lands in
Nebraska and whose prosecution was
brought about by investigations in
land frauds made under the direction
of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
The men were convicted and SEN
fenced to remain six hours in the GUS
tody of the United States marshal
Practically no defense was made in
the trial. In carrying out the sentence
the United States marshal deputized
the attorneys of Richards and Com,
stock to take charge of the defendants
for the six hours of their sentence.
For exercising this leniency the mar
shall was removed from Office. Both
the president and the department are
dissatisfied with the manner in which
the case had been prosecuted by Dis
trict Attorney Baxter and as result
Mr.. Baxter's resignation was re-
Quested. @,-G
After several days had elapsed Mr..
Baxter responded to the request for
his resignation with declination to
resign. Thereupon President Roose-
velt removed him from Office.

Machine Guns Made Terrible Havoc
I in Ranks Of Rebels. II
st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The disor-
ders Of Saturday night in Moscow were
provoked earlier than the revolution
lists desired, as Governor General Dou-
bassoff had discovered the plot of the
rebels to begin a new revolt at
o'clock at night and was prepared to
meet the attack. h g.,
He massed $4,000 troops Of all arms
n Red place, under the walls of the
Kremlin, mounted machine guns in
the towers Of the old Chinese wall,
posted artillery at intervals encircling
the Tverskaia boulevard and placed
heavy detachments of horse and light
artillery at strategic points.
IA The first scene Of butchery occurred
when the troops and the cannon, which
were loaded with grape, fired into a
procession of workers carrying red
flags and singing revolutionary songs
rs they swung into the boulevard.
The workmen threw up barricades
at the Triumphal arch, at two places
In Doitrovsky street and at another
place, but all were assaulted and car
1ied by the troops.
y The principal resistance was at the
Trilmphal arch, the defenders Of that
gbarricade being armed only with re-
,yolyers. They held their ground for a
time against the machine guns.
The chief Of police says that to esti-
mate the total number of casualties
would be mere guesswork, but he
thinks they will probably run into the
hundreds. ft'
