20 miles west OF the Garcia ranch is

A posse located Martinez and the girl

after numbering her parents, and then
blew out his own brains. Martinez.

WANTS TARIFF
REVISION DOWNWARD

Washington. Dec. S.-Herbert Z. Miles
of the tariff committee of the National
Association of Manufacturers assumed
the stand before the house ways ana
means committee today. He continued
his arguments for tariff revision down
ward. The schedules which Mr.. Miles
claimed can be reduced materially are
those imposing tariff on sugar, glass
and hides.
Mr.. Miles said that the duty on lower
grades OF textiles could be reduced
while the higher grades could be IN
creased. He also declared that the
farmer gets no relief from the duty
on hides While as a result of the tairT
on hides tho independent tanners are
imperilled by the packers.
The witness declared that 80 per cent
of the manufacturers want a tariff
commission or bureau to handle the re-
vision Of the tariff.
Replying to this suggestion, CHAIR
man Payne said:
IT am confident that the man en-
gagged in business wants to know that
the tariff rates are settled and not sub
iect to changes. don't think there
could be any greater harm TO the
country thun would result from nav
ing body of men constantly agitat-
ing changes in tho tariff,
Representative Underwood Demo of
Alabama agreed with Mr.. Payne as to
the inadvisability OF having q tariff
commission

st. Georges Episcopal Church. New
Fork. Establishes Precedent.

New York, Dec. s.--trtle old ard
fashionable st. Georges Episcopal
church of this city, has established
precedent in the manner of calling sin
ners to be saved. Though the crowd
ed streets of the East Side last night
the rector the Rev. Hugh Birckhead,
accompanied by staid yestrymen ana
members of the congregation, marched
like Salvationists under the light of an
electrically Illuminated cross Two
policemen led the way while the
strains OF coward, Christian Soldier
rang out in the night air. The idea
was to go ''out into the highways and
byways.'' to call whatsoever would fol-
low. Many there were who did follow,
the majority of them, however, at
tracted by tho novelty of the situation.
When the procession had returned
to the church and those who had fol-
lowed were seated, the recSoi mounted
the pulpit and said:
we have marched through the
streets and adopted this extraordinary
method to prove TO ourselves and to
you that we exist for the benefit or
the community. We have gone out
side of the church walls and into the
streets to prove this.
