the expedition may prevent the start. In fact, unless $25.0O0 is forthcoming by the 1st of July the project will have to be abandoned. An auxiliary ship or collier will accompany the Roosevelt as far north as Etah, where Peary's coal depot in the last expedition was locat- ed. Etah was the winter quarters of Dr. Hayes last expedition and is To- cated about 70 degrees north latitude. A small party of sportsmen and scien- lists may go north as far as Etah on the auxiliary ship, returning with her about Sept. 1.
 Commander Peary has devoted near ly twenty years to efforts to solve the great problems of the north and al- ready has put into the work all of his personal means, amounting to $S0.000. He has a greater experience in arctic work and more complete knowledge of details than any other man living. His work and objects have the hearty indorsement of President Roosevelt, who says that failure to properly equip his expedition will be "a real misfor- tune from a national standpoint"

The whole power of the organized
 trusts and the tariff protected moncp-
 olists will be found aiding the re-
 election of republican congressmen
 who will promise to again stand pat
 after election, says one writer. Per
 petuating the tariff protection allows
 these manufacturers to collect their
 share of the tariff, which is q much
 higher tax on what the people buy
 than is paid in the aggregate for
 tariff taxes to the government. For
 whereas but comparatively few
 goods are imported upon which the
 tariff tax is collected, all the products
 of the trusts are likewise increased
 in price in consequence of the tariff preventing competition. So that it comes to this. if you are rich and can buy the finer and more costly imported goods you pay the tariff tax to the government, while # you are poor and obliged 10 buy the products of our protected trusts, you pay the tariff tax indirectly 10 the protected manufacturers in larger profits If the next congress is re- publican the same old stand-pat crowd will control. and although there may be a shifty promise in the republican platform for tarlfl rcvis- ion after election" how far. or how deep. the revision will 20 sill never be actually stated. Tn sact. the re- publican leaders from Secretary Root down to the stand-pat con- gressmen have decided and ar- that the plan is to revise the tariff.

 of Helping Murderess.
 Vernon, Tex, June 1.-After signing and swearing to a confession that if true would solve many of the mysteries of the Guinness murder farm at La porte, Ind, and would hang both him. self and Ray Lamphere, the suspect now under indictment, Julius c. Truel- son. Jr., of New York broke down as Sheriff Smutzer was about to take him to Indiana and has retracted all that be has said. ...-
 Truelson has been in jail here since March 20 charged with swindling. He swore that he took his wife. Mae Frances O'Reilly of Rochester, N. r., to the Guinness farm to have her put out of the way. helped Lamphere bury her and assisted in disposing of six other bodies in the private cemetery of the Laporte murderess.
 Mae O'Reilly is missing. The police of Rochester tried ten days ago to find her and reported that she had disap- peared about the time Truelson now says he took her to Laporte to have her killed so that he could marry again. Jewelry bearing the name of Mae F. O'Reilly was found in the Guinness ruins.
 Further, Truelson confesses that he intended to take his second wife, Sa- rah ArGbella vreeland, daughter of c. ?. Vreeland of East Ninety-second street. canarsie. N. r., with whom he eloped in March last. to the Guinness farm. All that prevented him, he says, was a letter from Mrs. Guinness telling him that the sheriff was making inqui- ries about the disappearance of some of her victims and that he should come alone.
 Truelson's story if untrue is the more remarkable because the date of his im- prisonment here took place a month before the horrors of the Guinness farm became known. and while in jail he could not have access to the many newspaper stories describing the de- tails of the Lsporte tragedies.
