HOME BAKERY
IS DESTROYED
Bakery of Burke Bros. Was
Burned at Early Hour
Last Night.

The Home Bakery at the corner OF
DeVillier and Belmont streets, and
operated by Burke Bros, was de
stroyed by fire at an early hour last
night The loss is a heavy one, as
the oven and other equipment was
destroyed.
The fire originated near the oven,
and occurred at a time when the
fires had just been lighted for the
nights baking. When discovered the
flames had gained considerable head
way, and when the fire department
reached the scene the building was
envelOped in flames, and was burned
almost to the ground.
This is the third time within the
past few months that the bakery has
caught fire On the two former Oc-
casions the proprietors, suffered Sc

Iaration in favor of revision Of the
| tariff.
The dope"
As Mr.. Taft is regarded as the adj
minfstratien's candidate for the
White House succession, 1t was as
sumed that his tariff platform was
the platform of the administrator
As the president did not speak
through any of his usual channel
however, the matter had to be taken
on faith. If it be true, as politicians
are inclined to believe, that Senator
Lodge spoke with the knowledge and
consent of President Roosevelt, 1t
will help a lot to clear the political
atmosphere.
Unless Mr.. Roosevelt should adopt
the practice of former President
Cleveland and write a Letter on the
subject, or, more in accord with
Rooseveltian practice, have Secretary
Loeb issue an official statement, there
is little chance that the ublic will
hear from the president On the sub
iect Of tariff before the converting
- congress, as it is announced that
he will make no political speeches
during the summer.
MUCH SpeCUl2IlOHs
There Is a good deal of interesteu
snecufation as to whether the presi-
Dental message next December will
contain any tariff utterance. Last
winter a movement was started to
bring about an agreement that there
should be no "monkeying' with the
tariff in advance OF the presidential
election at the same time pledginS
the republican party to readjust the
Dinsley schedules at an extraordinary
session OF congress to be called by
Mr.. Roosevelt's successor immediate
~ following his Inauguration. The
movement found favor in influential
quarters, but nothing tnagible came
of 1t.
Unless some such agreement is
reached before the adjournment of
the first session Of the Sixtieth con-
gress, tariff revision is going to cut
a big figure in the fight for the Repub-
lican nomination next year. Already
the forces are lining up for such
struggle. Day by day it is becoming
more evident that the contest Is
going to be between Secretary Taft
and Senator Knox of Pennsylvania,
with tariff revisionists supporting
Taft and the standpatters back of
Knox. There is a good deal OF ap-
prehension as to the effect such a
conflict would have on the party S
fortunes in the November elections
of next year, and the peace makers

Despondent Because
He Lost His Position.

There was no mystery about the
suicide of George l.. KleeberSer, the
youth who shot himself day before
yesterday. His reason was surn11sed
at the time; hissact was explained by
the letter received yesterday by his

Poor chap. With slight variations,
how much is his story the story Of

This poor youth was weak-and by
