TO REVISE TARIFF.
\ Movement for Special Session Is
Under Way.

Chicago. Jan. Pa special to the
Record-Herald from Washington says:
new effort has been started to bring
about a caucus of Republican members
of the house to consider the propriety of
an extra session of the next congress to
deal with the question of tariff reyis-
ion.
Representatives Cooper of Wisconsin
and STEVENSON of Minnesota have been
circulating petitions for caucus and
have disclosed the fact that there is a
strong tariff revision sentiment in the
west. Altogether six petitions are in
circulation. Mr.. Cooper obtained the
signatures of all the ten Republican
members of the Wisconsin delegation
except MessrS. Rabcock and Minor.
Representative Butler Ames of Bos-
ton, close friend of President Roose-
welt, has attempted to develop the SEN
timent of the house by appealing to
members of different state congressional
delegations. 1t is under his general
supervision that the petitions now are
being circulated.
The signatures of only so Republican
congressman are necessary to call a
caucus and such progress has been
made that the revisionists have taken
on a squirt of real enthusiasm. The
standpatters will fight and declare they
can defeat the tariff revisionists in
caucus, If a caucus be called.

Fort Scott, Kan. Jan. 26.-The evil
dence in the Hord damage suit against

afternoon.
The case went to- the jury late yes
terday evening and in less than two
hours they raped on the door and
announced that they had agreed on

into the court room. where the verdict,
giving Mrs. Hord $4,000 damages, was
read.
The suit was for the death of L. V.
Hord who for many years ran
switch engine in the north end of the
Frisco yards in this city. About two
years ago the engine jumped the track
at the NJ. K. & T. crossing in the north
end of the yard and Mr.. Hord received
injuries that resulted in his death. A
suit for $4,000 was filed against the
road, on the grounds that the track
was defective or the engine would not
have left the track The case was
taken to the federal court when it was
dismissed without prejudice. Another
suit was then filed against the road for
$4,000 in the district court here.

NEW ALCOHOL BILL.
One Designed to Permit Farmers to Be
Distillers.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The compromise
denatured alcohol bill agreed on by the
house committee on ways and means
carries a provision that the measure
shall not become effective until after
September /, 1908. This date was fixed
at the request of the commissioner of
Internal revenue. Mr.. Yerkes, for the
purpose of granting him adequate time
to prepare regulations for the manu-
facture of alcohol by small manufac-
turers not connected with distilleries.
Representatives Hill and Marshall and
other members who have been active in
getting a measure prepared which will
enable small manufacture to make
denatured alcohol, were anxious to have
the present law amended Immediately
but the trade insisted that time must
be had to frame regulations under
which locked stills and tanks may be
used by farmers desiring to make alco-
hol in small plants.
The present law removing all internal
revenue tax from denatured alcohol
permits only distilleries and factories
having large denaturing warehouses to
engage in the manufacture of alcohol
designed for fuel, light and manufac-
tUriaS purposes, and the bill just re-
ported by the house committee is de-
signed to permit farmers to convert
their products into alcohol.

Gas well AT sylvan Grove.

Sylvan Grove, Jan. 26.-There is
said to be a gas well near Sylvan
Grove. Mr.. Neagle, a farmer near
here seems to have such a we'll on his
place. The we'll was bored for water
but when, at a depth of about 200
feet, the rock stratum through which
they were boring rebounded with such
force as to make progress impossible.
When the derrick was removed there
was a peculiar gas found coming from
the mouth of the well. A number of
attempts were made to stop up the
well but in each case the obstructing
substance was forced out. Finally a
gas pipe was inserted and the well
closed around the pipe. The flow is
strong enough to be plainly heard and
is steadily increasing. 1t is believed

After the sale Thomas E. Kirby, the

CUT The WIRES.
Nan Intent on Murder Carefully
Lays His Plans.
Enters the Home of His Victim
in the Night.
lAKES HIM GET UP.
Then Fires Three Shots All of
Them Effective.
Every Exit Found Closed After
He Had Left.

New York, Jan. 26.-Dr. Charles
w. Townsend. one of the best known
physicians and surgeons on Staten
island. was shot and probably NOR
tally wounded in his home at New
Brighton. S. l.. early today.
The case is surrounded by mystery
but from the meager details whlcn
have been permitted to leak out by the
officials it is believed that the doctor
was the victim of man who sought
vengeance for some real or fancled
wrong. That it was not the act of a
burglar appears borne out by the fact
that nothing was taken from the
house and by stories told the coroner
by DR. Townsend and his wife.
The coroner declines to make
known any of the information obtain
ed from DIR. Townsend and his wife.
He declares that to do SO would tend
to defeat the ends Of justice.
DR.. Townsend and his wife were
awakened shortly before o'clock by
a suspicious sound and moment
later they were startled by the flash of
a match which revealed a man hold
ing the match in one hand and a re-
volver in the other. Levelling the re-
vOlver at DIR. Townsend, the intruder
order him to arise at once. Then,
without waiting a moment. he fired.
The bullet Craze the doctors body and
buried itself in the bedclothes.- An
other shot followed almost instantly
and the bullet entered the doctors
and pierced the intestines.
A third bullet lodged near the heart.
The assailant then fed. How he got
out of the house is not known. as
every door and window was closed
when help arrived.
When Mrs. Townsend tried to call
assistance she found that two of the
three telephone wires leading to the
house had been cut. The third, which
was in the doctors office, in the lower
part of the house, apparently had
been overlooked. Over this wire a
servant in the stable was notified and
news was given the police.
Despite lack of any apparent trace
of the man who fired the shot, the
coroner appears satisfied that he will
soon be apprehended.

shonts Says Panama Is as Healthful
as Any Locality

Chicago, JAN 26-Theodore P. Shonts,
whose resignation as chairman of the
isthmian canal commission was an
nounced on Wednesday last, arrived
yesterday from Kansas City and spent
the night with relatives at Beverly
Hills.
From a sanitary standpoint, Panama
is just as good as any place in the
United States that can think Of said
Mr.. Shonts. THE separat ion of gov
ernmentaI and sanitary functions on
the isthmus has revolutionized condf-
lions so far as health is concerned
The people who have feared yellow fe-
yer on the isthmus need not worry
about it any longer. I would feel just
as safe about going to Panama as to
Texas. This condition is not confined
to the ditch itself, either
Il am convert to the theory that
mosquitoes have been responsible for
the spread Of yellow fever! But the
sanitary authorities have COPIED with
the situation successfully and now there
is nothing to fear"
Mr.. Shonts will deliver an address
before the Chicago Commercial club to-
night.

Lakin was taken with appendicitis
three weeks ago a few hours before the
regular Sunday service. BY church
time, however. he was feeling we'll
enough to permit of Mrs. Lakin leaving
him for the church. When she reached
there she led the services and even
preached. Afterwards she was assur-
ed that it would not be necessary to
obtain a supply for the pulpit of the
church during Mr.. Lakin's illness as
she had proved herself so capable. She
will act as pastor until her husband is
we'll again.
