FAIL TO CONFIRM CORTELYoU
General Delayed One Week by
Finance Committee
IN Associated Press.

by ASSOCIATED HTeSS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Sat the re-
quest of Senator Teller, the senate COM
mittee on finance today postponed for
one week action on the nomination of
Postmaster General Cortelyou to be sec
retary of the treasury. They did not
announce whether they would continue
their opposition to his confirmation now
that he has resigned the craftsmanship
of the Republican national committee.
In making his request that action on
the Cortelyou nomination be postponed
for week Senator Teller said that the
finance committee had nothing but
newspaper statements to show that the
postmaster has resigned the manage
ment of the Republican national COM
mittee. He thought Mr.. Cortelyou
should communicate the fact that he
had severed his connection, which, If
continued, would make him objection
able to many senator's for the position
of secretary of the treasury. Republi-
can members assented to the sugges-
tion made by Senator Teller.

WANTS EARLY TARIFF REPORT
State Department Tells Experts to
Present Germany's Complaints
by Middle of February

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The state
department has intimated to the ex-
perts who were sent to Germany to
confer with German experts and to
compare notes relative to the COM
plants against the American tariff
schedule that it would like to have a
report before the middle of February.
This request was made necessary by
the fact that if any legislation is neces-
sary to give effect to the recommenda-
tions of the tariff committee at least
two weeks time will be be required to
perfect it.
While it is hoped by the department
that as the result of their conferences
with the Germans, the American ex-
perts will be able to recommend some
changes in administration that could
be effected by a mere amendment of
the rules by the secretary of the treas
ury. it is regarded as probable that the
changes recommended will be such as
will require legislation. In this latter
case If congressional action upon the
propositions csannot be expected be-
fore the adjournment of the present
session. then it will be necessary to
ask the German government to again
extend the provisions of the present
German law admitting America to the
privileges of the minimum tariff in
Germany.

STEALS A KISS; GETS 60 DAYS

MIDDLETON. N. Y, Jan. S.-Franx
Munfort, a shoe dealer, was sentenced
today to sixty days Imprisonment in
Goshen Jail Tor stealing a kiss from a
girl IA years old, in his shoe store.
Recorder Corwin, who sentenced Mum
fort, said, severely, that it was an ag-
gravated case of larceny, and added:
such conduct must cease i'm this city.
The next person who comes before me
on such charge will suffer the ex-
treme punishment the law allows"
The girl, who is very pretty, went in
Munforts store to buy pair of shoes
He, seized by an uncomfortable i'm
pulse, he says. threw his arms around
her and kissed her. She shrieking, ran
from the store.
Munfort has a good reputation. The
charge against him greatly surprised
his friends. He pleaded guilty, telling
the recorder he simply could not resist
the impulse to steal the kiss. Munfort
thinks his sentence is too severe and
will appeal from 1t.

FARMERS LIVING
UNDER SNOW MANTLE
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WINNIPEG, Jan. S-Reports from
Prince Albert tell of a terrific snow
storm Of a week ago. The flakes fell
for six days necessarily to a depth of
nine feet in the open and drifts fifty
four feet high piled up.
Fortunately, the snow was soft and
the settlers had no difficulty in dig
ging tunnels from house to house. 1t
is not probable that the snow will dis
appear before spring and many farmers
are arranging to live under it for the
winter.
a few who did not have their fail
plowing done have propped up the
snow in the fields and are carrying on
the work as usual. Their only COM
plant is the dimness of the light
Since the mantle of snow is so thick
no fire is required in the houses, and in
order to prevent being overcome by
heat little cooking is being done.
Where 1t is absolutely necessary to
come to the surface ladders are used
and the shafts are carefully covered
with trap doors to prevent n draught
from annoying those under the snow.

of the Kennedy Mining & Milling COM

MAN Is DRIVEN CRAZY
BY STUDY OF FRACTIONS

SING SING, N. Y, Jan. S.-When it
was whispered among the prisoners at
Sing Sing that instead of escaping
from the prison on Sunday night,
Frank Schleimann, a counterfeiter
who would have been released next
May, had committed suicide, even the
most hardened of the convicts were
saddened and muttered:
1T was the fractions that did it,
| Schleimann was an exceptional priS-
oner and was never considered a pro-
fessional counterfeiter.
The pretty little Austrian girl who
followed him to America and for whorn
he was trying to provide when he
made the coins. married him when he
had been sent up for three years.
"I'll be waiting for you when you get
out" she said.
This gave the man tremendous in
spiration and as soon as he got to Sing
Sing he began attending the prison
school with the determination to leave
the place an educated man. Every
minute that he got away from his work
he put in studying arithmetic. He got
as far eight months ago, as fractions.
But there he stuck. The rest of the
class went on, but Schleimann stuck
hard and fast on fractions. Study
nights and Sundays as he would he
came up against a brick wall over
which he could not climb.
Finally the keepers, watching him
at work, saw that his lips We're going
and when they questioned him it was
sum in fractions that he put to them.
Finally it dawned upon him that his
brain had reached it's maturity, that
there was no more expansion for him.
that his mental caliber had been set
for life-and that when he walked out
of the prison to meet the little wife he
would still be a child in mind, who
had never conquered fractions. The
thought drove him mad. Recently he
has been seeing things" and fractions
