A Presentation

A company of twenty-five members Of
DeMolay Gommandery took occasion to
call at the home of MIR. and Mrs Chas.
North on Mt Pleasant avenue last Fri
day evening, the special object of their
visit being to present to their brother,
Sir Knight Lawrence Cockburn, low
ing cup, to be taken with HIM to his
home in Scotland in memory of the es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Gockburn is held by
the donors The gift was a very hand
some affair in silver, lined with gold
bearing the inscription, "De MolayK r."
The speech of presentation was made
by Geo. W. Cover, deputy commander
of the Grand Gommandery OF Maine, in
the graceful manner which that gentle.
man always has at his command on such
occasions. Mr.. Cockburn was taken en-
tirely by surprise and his emotion was
such that he could hardly express his
sentiments. After few words he asked
Sir Knight John {. Griffin to respond
for him. Mr.. Griffin's words were hap
PLY chosen and with them he gave a
quotation from Burns, just the author
and just the selection to be best appre-
ciated by those present. A social hour
followed during which Mrs. Cockburn
sang Killarney" and Mr.. Cookburn
favored the company with other Scottish
songs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cockburu and their four
children left here for Boston, Saturday
morning, from which port they sailed
on the Saxonia, Tuesday, bound for
their former home in Galashiels, Scot
land. Many of their friends were at the
station to bid them good bye and wish
them pleasant voyage,

Thousand Dollars.

shortage in the state treasury of
about $4,000 is shown by the report
of Accountant Morris in the treasury
examination just closed, according to a
summary of the report prepared by

ing the two full terms of former State
Treasurer Frank f. Grimes and one
term and six months of the admins
tration of Thomas T. Kelly, the pres
ent state treasurer. The bulk of the
shortage appears in the accounts of
the Office during the Grimes admins
tratiOn.
OF the total of SIS, 900, SEQ. 900 is due
to the mission coupons from bonds
owned by the state school fund and
$4,000 is due to the loss of interwar-
rants issued by the territory Of Okla
homa to the state Of Kansas.

any action that he might take in re-
gard to the result of the investigation.
Former States Treasurer Frank E.
Grimes issued a statement tonight He
absolutely denies any responsibility
for the shortage in Oklahoma warrant
interest and says he is able to &c
count satisfactorily for all the bond
coupon shortages except $7.215. Mr.
Grimes states that he is willing to
make good any shortages he was re-
sponsible for.
In his statement Mr.. Grimes puts
the responsibility for a number of seri-
GUS discrepancies on c. r. Richey, his
chief clerk.

HITS COLORADO
HOUSE VOTES TO REDUCE TARIFF
ON Philippine SUGAR.
REDUCTION INCLUDES RICE
Tariff on Sugar, Rice and Tobacco
Made twenty-five Per Cent. Of
oinsley Rate - Colorado Repre-
sentatives Vote Against the Bill.

Washington.-The Philippine tariff
bill was passed by the House Tuesday
substantially as it came from the
Ways and Means Committee The
vote was 25s to IL.
Rice was made subject to the same
tariff as sugar and tobacco-twenty-
five per cent. of the Dingley rate-and
one or two changes were made as to
language.
This result was attained after decid
present Congress. To many amend
ments which were launched and went
10 pieces in the storm of debate and
against the rock which the House
rules constituted. left much Legislative
wreckage and many records only use
tul for future political purposes.
Republican opposition to the bill in
she interest of the American beet and
cane sugar and tobacco tried out its
strength early and gave up. The op-
position refused to affiliate with Demo
cratic efforts.
The strongest plea for 'insurgent
support was made in behalf of Champ
,Clark's amendment requiring the diff
ferential on refined sugar. The min
ority sought to duplicate the House
record made on the Cuban reciprocity
act, but they reckoned without their
host, as not a Republican opponent to
this measure stood with them to over
rule the decision of the chair.
The Democratic substitute met with
only the support of the minority, and
went down under a vote of 231 to 106.
On the final passage of the bill the
insurgents" demanded roll call, that
their record might be preserved, The
representatives from Colorado voted
against the bill.
An effort sustained by the Democrats
but opposed by all but three Republl-
cans. was initiated by Mr.. Mccall OF
Massachusetts, to commit the United
States TO the policy of granting indie
pendence to the Philippines as soon
as their inhabitants can be prepared
for self-government.
The bill admits goods, the growth
OF products of the Philippines into the
United States free of duty except
sugar, tobacco and rice. on which a
tariff OF twenty-five per cent. OF the
Dingley rates is levied
1t provides that after April IL, 1909,
there shall be absolute free trade each
way between the United States and
the Philippines.
1t also exempts Philippines goods
coming to the United States from the
export tax of those islands.
Merchandise from either country is
subject to the internal revenue tax
of the country in which such merchan-
disc is withdrawn for consumption.
