TAFTS GREAT FAAEND OF \ LONG LIFE ROW OVER MESSAGE
A RESOLUTION DisAPPRoviNG PORTIONS OF PRESIDENTS
 MESSAGE INTRODUCED.
| COMMITTEE HAS BEEN ApPOIOTED
Win Consider Means of Dealing With
 the Criticisms of the President Representative Perkins of New York introduced the Resolution - Says Some Expressions Were Unfortunate

Washington, Dec. 12.-The resent. ment of the House of Representatives against President Roosevelt because of the latters remarks in his recent mes sage about secret service police found expression Friday
 When the president made reference to the use of the secret service police in Investigating members of congress, he trod on the tender toes of the memers of the house, and sentiment which at once developed for "rebuk- ing" MT Roosevelt had it's first tangi- ble effect Friday.
 The action came in the shape of a resolution for the appointment of a committee of five to decide what means should be taken for dealing with that portion of the message which criticises the course of congress in prohibiting the detail of secret service men to duty outside of their own bu- reau
 Representative Perkins of New York chairman of the committee of foreign affairs and one of Speaker Cannon's close supporters, introduced the reso- lution. It was at once adopted. Speak CT Cannon appointed as members of the committee Representative Perkins, Representative Denby of Michigan, Representative Weeks of Massachus- ftts, Representative Williams of Mass Achusetts and Representative Lloyd of Missouri. The two latter represent the Democratic side of the House.
 The resolution Is preceded by pre- amble reciting some expressions of the message. No effort is made to give voice to the feeling of the house. In presenting the resolution MT. Per 1 <ins made brief statement saying that he was satisfied that the house would not hesitate to take such action as the dignity of that body required. He said that some of the presidents expressions were unfortunate.
 Mir. Perkins said that the statements by the president could not be lightly disregarded as they might impair the usefulness of congress.
 A resolution similar to that passed | by the house probably will be adopted by the senate early next week. It will provide for the appointment of a com mittee to recommend course of ac- ton relative to the presidents utter. ances.

CEN HUGH CAMERON, THE KAN sAS HE ERMlT,' DIES IN A
 TOPEKA HOSPITAL.
HE WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN BED
Gen Cameron Had Gone to Topeka to Attend a Friends Funersl--knew Many Eminent Men--Wss 82 Years old-secured Forgiveness for Ex- Congressman Ross.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 11.-Gen. Hugh Cameron, known as the Kansas Her. nit" died Wednesday night of apo plexy in local hospital He came here Tuesday from Lawrence to at tend the funeral of A. H. Case. an old friend. He failed to waken Wednes- day morning and remained uncon- scious all day
 Gen Cameron was S2 years old at the time of his death. He was born at Saratoga Springs. N. Y., October 2S, 1926. He went to Washington, D. C., shortly after the election of Zachery Taylor as president. There he became acquainted with Webster, Clay, Doug las and other eminent statesmen of the day He moved to his hermitage near Lawrence in 1854.
 Before that time he was a professor of mathematics in Rittenhouse aca- denny, Washington. Then for time he was a clerk in the treasury depart ment. His health failed and he moved to Kansas in time to be identified with the free state struggle. He located his claim on the Kansas river a few miles west of Lawrence. He laid the foundation for house. The rock he quarried by himself The framework of the house was made of walnut lum. i Der. Years ago enemies of the her. init fired the house and 1t was totally | destroyed Since then he lived under thatch of limbs and boughs on his claim or in crude shed under a tree l In an out-of-the-way place in Lawrence | His appearance was all his title of hermit implied His white hair and beard unkept and long, and a long stocking cap served to identify him | everywhere.
 Gen. Cameron made several pilgrim ages of political nature. One of the | best remembered of those was two years ago this winter when he went to | Albuquerque, N. M, to hunt up Ed mund G. Ross bearing a letter of for | giyeness, for the vote Ross cast as senator from Kansas when Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial was in | progress Ross was the last man tc vote and his vote saved Johnson. The l feeling against him has since died out and, at Gen Cameron's request, the nansas legislature officially 'forgaye' the vote.

Almost every one has seen the picture which is rivaling The Whole Dam Family and Is called "A Yard of Yawns" The picture is yard long, containing the pictures of whole family, each mem Der of which, from great-grandad to the baby. Is yawning violently. Yawn- ing. as many people know to their sor- row, is violently contagious. and one person yawning has often set room ful of people to yawning. The dentist simply has the picture hanging in view of the dental chair, and he says that all of his patients are constantly yawning,

Good Cough Medicine for Children

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the chil deen. A child is much more likely to con- tract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold The quicker you cure his cold ihe less the risk. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re- lance of many mothers. and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher of Ripley, W Va, says: "I have never used anything other than Cham berlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction.

corroboratlon of Bible Story.

Burgsch Bey, the Egyptologist, says that 1t is no longer difficult to under. stand the origin of the seven lean years" narrative in the book of Gene sis. The hieroglyphic inscriptions translated by him show that 1,700 years before the Christian era the Nile for seven consecutive years did not overflow and famine, pestilence and misery followed. We know says he. that the date of the seven years of fruitlessness mentioned in Genesis was 1700 B. c. and thus what has been looked upon as a fancy has through these hieroglyphics become a matter of history. The failure of the Nile to overflow, the whitening of the vegetation. the lands devoid of crops, famine and the consequent scourges are all depicted in the pictures which the student has been able to de ctpher."

PRESIDENT MAY SUE
MIR. ROOSEVELT THREATENS Pho' sEcuTIoN FOR LIBEL IN
 CANAL CONTROVERSY
WILL MAKE 4 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
will Try to Reach With Criminal Law Those Guilty of Utterin9 Faisenooos Regarding the canal-says some Americans Have Uttered Infamous Falsehoods.

Washington. Dec. 12.--"lf they can he reached for criminal libel, l snal try to have them reached" said Pres ident Roosevelt in speaking Thurs- day afternoon about those Americans who have been guilty of infamous falsehood concerning the acquisition of the property and the construction of the (Panama) canal itself" It was to the committee of 100 of the Lakes to-the-Gulf Deepwaterway associatioh' headed by Gov. Deneen of Illinois, re es.ved by the president in the East room of the White House that ne made this declaration.
 Gov. Deneen had presented copy of the resolutions adopted by the asso- citation and made a few remarks to which the president replied as fol lows:
 q have felt, as the governor has so well put it, that no more important service could be rendered to this coun- try than the building of the Panama canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific. and one thing l am proud or in connection with the building of that canal is that there has not been lesiu- mate cause for the breath of scandal connected with any feature of the pro cee1ing. We have cause to be ashamed of only one set or Ameri- cans in connection with the building of the canal, and that is Of those Americans who have been guilty or infamous falsehood concerning the &C., 1uisition of the property and the con struction of the canal itself. If they can be reached for criminal libel, l shall try to have them reached. II not. ae any rate all the facts We know or ever have known are at the dis posal of each and every one of you here, and of any one In congress or of all congress if they wish to see | them.
 Next only in importance from the physical standpoint to building the | Panama canal comes the question or developing the use of our own water ways That must be done by the pol icy of irrigation at the headwaters mp in the arid regions; and where you come from, gentlemen. it is to be done by making our seaceast lake a big loop in from the Gulf of Mexico to the great lakes; and we will see I that that work is done just as hon. estly, just as efficiently. as the Pan ana canal work has been done; and no work could have been done from beginning to end more honestly or more efficiently"

THE PREsIDENT-ELEcT BELIEVES HOUSE WILL MAKE HONEST
 REVISION OF TARIFF.
HELD CONFERENCE WITH THE LEADERS
Feels Confident That Promises Made in Republican Platform VIII Be Carried Out in Good Faith--Says Mir. Cannon Is in Favor of Thorough Revision of Tariff.


 Washington, Dec. 12.--William H Taft said Thursday night that 1t was his belief that the house would make an honest and thorough revision ol the tariffH at the extra session which he will call for that purpose.
 This belief he bases on q conference he had Wednesday with Speaker Can. non and in session Thursday with the Republican members of the ways and means committee.
 Mir. Taft said he had not as yet con. suited with senators on the subject indicating the tremendous pressure upon his time as the reason. When the suggestion was made that the sen ate would undoubtedly have something to do with the tarif bill he replied with no uncertainty in his demeanor that there was some one else who also would have something to do with the bill, which, interpreted through the medium of previous utterances, in dicates clearly that MT. Taft is de termined. even to the exercise of the vote power, to prosecute the party's pledges.
 He was asked the substance of the interview he had Wednesday with tho speaker. His reply was that MT Can non had said that he was in favor O an honest and thorough revision O the tariff in accord with the partl promises The question of the speak ership of the next congress, MT. Taf said, was not discussed, but many oth CT matters of legislation were.
 He added that he had been some what misled regarding his interpreta ton Of the attitude of the speaker b, reports of Mr. Cannons speech befor, the Cleveland chamber of commerce The official report of that speech, ht said. had given him an entirely diff terent impression.
 ''l had an interview with Mr. Can non Wednesday," said Mir Taft. "ant with his concurrence, and. at the sug gestion of member of the ways ant means committee. with the Repubi can members of that committee Thurs day afternoon. From my converse ton with them and with discussion which followed as to the examination which they are now conducting ane expect to conduct. have every reason to be confident that they are keenly alive to the obligation which is or them as representatives elected tC represent the Republican party. to pre- pare an honest and thorough revision of the present tariff. that they have taken three times as much evidence as has ever been taken in the prepara ton of other tariffs. and that they are going to make additional effort ana independent effort to get at the evi dence themselves by the use of sub poenae and under oath, with view tc reaching the difference in the cost oI production of the various articles brought within the tariff here ano abroad.
 Il found them quite anxious for as much harmony as possible. in which 1 sympathized with them and pre- pared for consultation on points of diff iculty that might arise at any time ir the future.
