ginning of this month being smaller

collections are more prompt
runway earnings IN lJecelnDer were

month of 1906, and foreign commerce
at this port for the last week showed
losses of $5,30S053 in imports and

the movements year ago.
Foreign demand is the dominant fac

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. - England's
commercial relations with the United
States are still governed by the treaty
of 1915 which ended the war of 1872,
according to a decision handed down
by the board of general appraisers
here. Several importers of British
WHISTLES protested against the tariff of
$2.35 gallon, when French liquors
were admitted for $1.75. The board
however, held that Great Britain was
barred by the treaty from the most
favored" nation list and sustained the
collectors charge.

Edwin Collier Became crazed Over

RAVENNA, O., Jan. 11.-Edwin Col
lier, ST., took his eight-year-6ld blind
son, Edwin, to his wife's grave In Ra-
VIENNA cemetery some time during the
night, shot him dead and then put
bullet through his own body near the
heart. He will die.
The bodies were found many hours
after, as the little boys corpse was
frozen stiff. Both Of the fathers feet
are frozen, and he was unconscious
from cold and loss Of blood.
A letter found near the scene Of the
tragedy and declared to be in Golfers
handwriting reads:
Dear Frieads-This is terrible
thing to do. but | am tired Of life and
i know God will forgive me. 1t seems
as though there has been nothing but
trouble for me ever since the day
was born.
IL can't stand 1t TO see my poor little
Edwin 60 through this hard, cold
world without his sight. and the doc
tors have told me they can do moth
ing for him. Besides am so lonesome
for my wife-my poor little Flo. So
goodby to all, What money is left
from my insurance 1t is my wish that
Mrs. Ramsey have; also my personal
belongings. Bury me beside my dar.
ling wife and my darling mother.

Neighbors declare Collier has been
dazed since the death of his wife six
months ago. He continually talked
about her and brooded ever the blind
boys condition, which he had spent
much money to relieve.
