Had Been Forgotten by
Attendants.

New York Jan. 29.-Shut in the steam
room of a Russian bath house in Hes
ter street. two young men were scaIded
to death before their plight was real
lied by the attendants. Evidence that
both had made frenzied efforts to at
tract attention was afforded by cuts
and bruises on both the bodies and by
blood stained scratches in the plaster
of the. walls against which they had
CROPPED in their efforts to find an out
let.
The victims were Abraham Faster
max and Peter Ross, tailors.
Abraham Stern. the proprietor of the
bath house. and five Of the attendants
were arrested and held pending an in
vestisation.
From incOherent accounts the police
gathered that Ross and Pasternak en-
tered the bath last night and after be
ing conducted into the steam room were
left there. and evidently forgotten I'M
til their bodies were found TO-DAY. There
was a gas jet in the room, but it was
unlighted and i'm the darkness the men
were unable to find the door.

CONGRESS
TO KEEP TARIFF
David Eccles FavOrs Impost on Phil
ippine Sugar.
ARGUMENT TO COMMITTEE
UGAR AND TOBACCO MEN THICK
IN WASHINGTON.
Especial to The Herald.)


OGDEN. Jan. 29.-Dayid EccIes, pres
IL ident of the Amalgamated Sugar
company, returned this afternoon
from Washington and other eastern ci-
ties. Mr.. Eccles was the last witness
for the senate committee on privileges
and elections in the SmoOt case, being
there simply to refute certain state
ments made against him personally by
Charles Mostyn Owen.
While in Washington Mr. Eccles. to
gether with a number of other leading
sugar manufacturers of the country,
appeared before the house committee on
ways and means to oppose the propo-
sition to take the tariff off of sugar
grown in the Philippines, which is being
strongly urged by President Roosevelt,
Secretary Taft and others Of influence
in the administra ton. The statistics
gathered by the National Sugar Grow
ers' association and presented to the
committee tended to show that Philip
pine sugar could be manufactured and
laid down in San Francisco or New
York at not TO exceed > cents per pound.
Mr.. Eccles, in presenting the Utah
case for the sugar producers, main
tanned that the sugar companies here
pay at least ~ cents per pound to the
beet ralSers for the sugar which is still
i'm the beets, and the company then has
the expense Of extracting the sugar and
placing it Oh the market
Mr. Eccles presented his facts and fig
Gres in writing to the committee and
made short address in support of his
claims. While the committee did not
intimate what its action would be, new
ertheleSs the impression which Mr. Ec-
cles, as we'll as other sugar men. re-
ceived from the line of questions which
were asked was that the committee will
recommend the removal of the tariff on
the Philippine product and that the
house Will sustain this recommendation.
Whether the senate will take the same
view is a different question.
The ways and means committee of the
house is also considering the removal of
the tariff from Philippine tobacco, and
the tobacco men of this country We're
also in Washington to oppose such leg
