In discussing the subject yesterday.
Mr.. Doherty did not assume TO speak
fcs his colleagues, but lie gave his own

He said If reports had been oyerlrawn
by representatives OF the press under

Mr.. Doherty does not share in tho

conservative element in the committee
that the proposed rule excluding the press

CHURCHES AID THE DISEASE
One Speaker Says Poor Ventilation of Places of Worship Makes Them verltiabIe Black Holes

New York, November 14-''Wh hisky and consumption follow the flag and the Bible in the march of civiliation." said pr. F. E. Daniel of Austin, Tex, in his annual address. opening the Amerl can International Congress on Tubercu- losis which began here today. The con gress meets this year in joint confer ence with the Medico-Legal society of New York.
 Dr. Daniel, opening his address, de- clared that the keynote of the conven- ton is 10 be the prevention of tubercu- losis by legislation. He called attention to the success the government has had in eradicating yellow fever, and asked why some attention should not be given to the disease which causes one-seventh of the deaths in America.
 "Churehes," said Dr. Daniel, 'are veri- table black holes of Calcutta among the liveliest disease breeders. I attend q church where, according to my calcula- tions, the same air was breathed and re- breathed by each of the 300 members of the congregation every twelve minutes, or twelve times in the course of the service

IOWA WANTS TO KNOW
 ABOUT THE TARIFF
According to Secretary Shaw They Do Not Favor Revision Until They
 Know 1t Some Better.

Washington. November 14.--(Special.)- J. According to Secretary Wilson of the de- partment of agriculture, who has just re- turned from his home in Iowa, the tariff may not be an issue, but the people are thinking a great deal of it. The Secre- tary does not commit himself as being either d follower of Governor Cummings or a standpatter.
 '.The people out my way" said he, want to know something about the tariff. Sometimes ago there was de- mand for more knowledge concerning the extent and operations of the big cor porations of the country and the Pres ident and his supporters went to work to satisfy the demand We have bu- reau of corporations and the knowledge is being gained. Then there came de- mand for the more adequate regulation of railroad rates and the President and his supporters went to work and got from Congress a railroad rate law Well, nowadays. I find that people out my way want to know something of the tariff. They don't want somebody else to get the knowledge. They want it themselves and they believe moreover. that general knowledge of the tariff and the man ner in which the existing schedules work or do not work. should be diffused before we go ahead too fast or else back into the breeching.''

Expert Accountants Testify Before
 Commissioner Schofeld.

Kansas City, Mo, November 14.-Expert testimony given by witnesses who have examined the books of the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy. and Missouri Pacific railroad occupied the time of the Bur lington freight rate hearing before Com- missioner Schofield in this city today.
 Charles s. Turtan, an expert accountant of New York, who has examined the books of the Missouri Pacific testified that the Missouri Pacific not only made money on shipments of freight in Mis- souri, but made more money from ,hem proportionately than from interstate busi- ness. E. M Fisher of St. Paul, who ex- amined the books of the Burlington, gave more evidence tending to show that the road received higher rates in proportion for hauling freight in Missouri than it received for interstate busness. The at torneys for the Burlington route had pre- viously asserted there was little money in the local freight hauled in Missouri.

Helped Father Conceal Crime
 for Two Weeks
cONFESSEs TO THE POLICE
Anna Riley In Louisville Shows Off cers Where Weapon Was Hidden After Father Had Cut
 Mothers Throat.

Louisville Ky, November H.-Cne of the most remarkable murder mysteries in police annals was apparently cleared up today by the confession of the 15 year old daughter of Mrs Virginia Etley the victim. Anna Etley, the daughter, to- night confessed to the police that her father had murdered her mother and that she had hid the weapon and aided him in concealing his guilt for over a week. despite the ordeals of continued sweat ing" by officers for the last week. The confession came just as the police and newspaper had apparently given the case up as hopeless.
 Mrs. Etley was murdered November :. Shortly after midnight her husba td, John A. Etley rushed from his hpne at 24lG Brook street, and informed neigh bors that his wife had been murdered. Assistance was promptly given and Mrs. Etley was found lying on her bed with her throat cut and @ great gash in her head. Sine was still alive and conscious, but unable to indicate the murderer, al- though her husband assisted in caring for her. Etleys unblemshed reputation and good family and the fact that all the things about the house had been ar ranged so as to indicate that the murder had been committed by an intruder, turned public suspicion away from the husband after the first twenty-four hours The arrangements for the crime were made with such coolness that the truth probably never would have been known showed the place where the weapon was hidden

Important Subject for Discussion Has to Do With Erection of Monument

SUPPLY OF IRON ORE
 IS ALREADY TAKEN
PRICES ARE HIGHER THAN AT ANY TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE TRApE-PIG IRON IS LESS FEVERISH.

Gleveland, O., November 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say; al
 within week after the general ore buying movement was started practically all ore offered for sale was purchased. Including the manufacturers who do their own mining, there are now about 100000 tens of ore on contract, and with the single exception of old range Bessemer, prices are higher than at any time in the history of trade. In 1900, when prices were higher than at any time up to the pres ent, the shipments were less than half of the tonnage estimated for 1907 and in the great year of prosperity, 1902, shipments were only s27,571.12l tons. It is expected that ..le production next year will be about equally divided between the steel corpora ton and other interests.
 The pig iron market is perhaps less feverish than it has been for few weeks, although the demand for spot iron is n- sistent and from s25 to s27 is freely paid by foundries in urgent need of iron.
 The car shortage is an increasingly heavy handicap to many industries. De- livery of southern iron is much delayed, and it is estimated that in the Pittsburg district and in the Mahoning and Shen- ango valleys there is a shortage of 10000 cars.
 Finishing mills continue to work to their full capacity, although the demand for structural shapes is not so strong.
 The tendency toward higher prices is being felt in finished lines, recent ad- vances being $2 on hoops, s1 on wire and Sl on light rails
 The bar iron market is very strong, and the principal producer has advanced his quota ton si a ton.

MIR. BRYAN SPEAKS
 TO PRESBYTERIANS
IS IN HEARTY SYMPATHY WITH PRESBYTERIAN BROTHERHOOD INDIANAPOLIS BODY GREETS HIM WITH ENTHUSIASM.

Indianapolis, Ind, November H.-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan. an elder in the Presbyterian church at Lincoln. Neb., ad- dressed the delegates and visitors to- night attending the convention of new organization of church workers to be called the Presbyterian Brotherhood. Dr. Hunter Corbert, moderator of the general assembly, delivered the invocation. John H. Converse of Philadelphia was presd- ing officer at the night session.
 When MT. Bryan stepped to the front of the platform he was accorded an en- thusiastic reception, practically every one in the hall rising to their feet, way ing handkerchiefs and hats. The demon- stration lasted several minutes. MT. Bryan, in opening his address. said he was glad to be a delegate to the first Presbyterian Brotherhood convention and he rejoiced especially that there was no contesting delegation He said it had not always been so in the past. The speaker said he began church life as member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, when he was IA years old.
 MT. Bryan was greeted with another outburst of applause when he declared that comparing the time he had been in the Cumberland church with that in the other branch. the ratio appeared to be all right'' Continuing. Mir Bryan spoke in reference to the benefits to be derived from the organization to be per fected at the present gathering of Chris tian workers. He declared that the name chosen, Brotherhood. could not have been better selected. He said it was q part of a world wide movement, moral awakening. The speaker declared there could be no real morality without re- ligion as the foundation.
