TWO TARIFF CHANGES.

The Ways and means commit
tee Is of the House is agreed
Oh at least two important changes
in the new tariff Law. The first is that
wherever possible specific duty will
be subst tutsd for an sd valorem rate,
snd The second that the spprRisement OF
foreign merchandise shall he based on
the Wholesale price iDstta1 Of on the
foreign invoice price, as is done under
the Dingley Law. Both changes are
aimed ayaiust the continued violation of
the law by importers who enter
goods at al underValnatlon, thus de-
priving the government of revenue and
taking from lawsbiding importers their
81 are of protection. The committee
realizes that there are many articles on
which a specific duty cannot be placed,
ald it is also apparent that under the
present ad yalorem duties there Is GER
tain to be undervaluation. For this
reason Representative Payne has deter
mined II at the new bill shall contain

Sig DAMAGE SUIT
FRANK TuRco SETTLES WITH
TwoHY BROS. FOR $500.

"A re,.as5 and satisfac.iel Of judg-
ment was fled with the clerk of the
court yesterday by the attorneys Of
Marco Turco. q young Italian lad, in
his suit against Twohy Bros. for dam
ages for the loss Of a leg . Turco was
given judgment for $4,000 against the
contractors at the last term Of court
and under the terms Of satisfaction
Of judgment he settled for $500
rather than fight the case in the su-
preme court.
The suit was the result Of an acct
dent which occurred at the .rwohy
camp on the Billings & Northern
grade several months ago. when
young Turco was run over by a dinky
engine used to haul dirt cars.
The contention Of the plaintiff in
the action was that the defendants
were negligent in not repairing their
tracks and that the boy was thrown
under the wheels by the swaying Of
the light engine as the result Of the
bad condition Of the track.
The defense maintained that the
boy had no business on the engine,
since he was discharged by the con
tractors previous to the accident.
H. C.. Crippen was Turco's attorney
and Hogan & Lamb were attorneys
for the defendants.

TWO ARE CHARGED WITH lille
GAL CONCENTRATION.
MANY COMPLICATIONS
Paul Lass and Mrs. Jennie Howard
Are Taken From Roomins House
by of1cer Soy and Charges Are
Preferred Against Them.

Mrs. Jennie Howard and Paul Lass,
a cook in n OF the restaurants Of
the city were arrested by Omcer John
Soy early yesterday morning in one
OF the local rooming houses and q
charge Of illegal 5cohabitation wal
placed against them. They were re-
leased on cash bonds of so each and
were married yesterday BY Justice.
Mendenhall.
The omcers say that the Howard
woman and Lass have been living to-
gether for some time and that they
supposed that the Howard woman was
married to q man whose name she
bears and who worked In the street
department for the city for some time
but who recently left with his two
children for Missoula.
They claim that while Howard was
in this city Lass was living with the
woman in . little two-room shack in
the eastern part Of the city and that
Howard was supposed to be- living
with her at the same time and always
spoke Of her q his wife.
Married In Anaconda.
It is said that the woman claims that
her arrest was caused by one OF the
officers whose advances she had re-
fused and that although she and
Howard were married at one time
and that the two children were the
result Of the union, she secured a di-
vorce from him in Laramie, Wyo.,
some time ago and IN November s,
1906, she was married to Lass by
Judge Fitzgerald Of Anaconda. In
proof Of her latter assertion she pro
duced a marriage certificate purport-
ing to have been signed by the Ana
conda Judge.
She was very indignant over her ar
rest and threatened the officers with.
all kinds OF trouble yesterday morn
ing. Shortly afterward however, she
and Lass applied to the clerk OF the
district court for a marriage license
and were married by Justice Menden-
hall. In giving the data for the lie
ense the woman stated that she lived
in Laramie, Wyo., and was born at
Rawlins. She also said that she had
been previously married and divorced.
Although the couple we're married
the case will not be dismissed until
a thorough investigation has been
made in an attempt to disprove many
Of her assertions.
