REVISION OF
THE TARIFF
Ways and Means
Committee Con-
venes
NO INCREASE OF FREE LIST
Principles of Protection Will
Not Be Lost Sight
of.

Washington Nov. 9-The commit
tee on Ways and Means of the House
OF Representatives which tomorrow
holds its first hearing of the proposed
revision of the tariff, will direct it's
efforts at these hearings towards the
gathering of information which chiefly
concerns the cost of production in this
country and the manufacturing condi.
tons as compared with foreign coun.
tries
As President-elect Taft and Speaker
Cannon and the majority of the COM
mittee on ways and means favor the
protection policy in framing the new
tariff, it is hardly likely that the free
list will be materially increased or
that any essential reductions will be
made in the tariff on manufactured
goods.

himself. Morgan was shot through
the stomach and will pprobably die.
Mackay Probably Insane.
The single bullet which struck
Morgan, entered the right side of his
abdomen and passed through his stom.
ach and out the left side, without pen
etrating the walls of his stomach.
There was no internal bleeding and it
now seems that there is every likeli-
hocI of the wounded mans recovery.
The only excuse known for the
shooting is that Mackey had COM
planned to the authorities at Washing
ton, that his mail had been tampered
with and that some one had turned
out the electric light when he was
reading by it in the corridor of the
postoffice. Mackey had received re-
ply that there was no evidence of
his mail having been tampered>with,
and that the turning out of the light
was accidental Mackey's employers
declared that they could account for
the shooting only on the theory that
: the murderer was insane.
Asked Morgan Who He Was.
Before the shooting took place Mac
key had been pacing the sidewalk for
at least two hours before. Morgan,
who was accompanied by his daughter,
Miss Dorothy Morgan. aged IA years,
came along on his way to work. His
daughter was an eyewitness to the
tragedy. When they approached Mac
key said:
"Are you Postmaster Morgan ?"
Morgan answered in the affirmative,
whereupon Mackey Immediately open
ed fire on him.
There were several persons within
few feet of the two men, but no
word was heard spoken before the
shot was fired and Morgan fell to the
ground wounded. Morgan was hurried
to his home nearby and after an ex-
animation by physicians, little hopes
were held out for his recovery.
Morgan has been connected with
the postal service of New York for
more than a quarter of century. He
began work as a letter carrier and
worked himself up, finally reaching
the top of the ladder.
After a close examination of phys-
clans it was found that Morgan had
a chance of recovery. The man who
fired the shots has been identified as
Erich H. B. Mackey, a stenographer.
After the shooting, Mackey turned the
smoking revolver on himself, shooting
three times, and fell to the ground
dead.
Morgan Regains Consciousness.
Morgan when taken to his home, re-
gained consciousness while the physi-
clans were working on him. In
statement he said he had never seen
his assailant before until confronted
by him this morning. He said he knew
no reason for the attack.
Mackay had been employed by Hunt
Hill and Belts, lawyers, for about four
years. He came from England to this
country nine years ago and had al
ways been held in high esteem by his
employers.

MICROBES IN The SCALP
The Latest Explanation is That
Microbes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna, of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris.
France, share the honor of having dis
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work. of these hair mi
crobes but is the result of conditions
brought about by their presence. Bald
ness may not occur until years after
the microbes began work, but it is
certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root of the hair. through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is wholly consumed,
the food supply of the hair is gone
and it starves and finally dies
Resorcin is one of the most effect
i've germ destroyers; Beta Papthol is
both germicidal and antiseptic; PHO
carpin, though not a due, restores
natural color to hair when loss of
color was caused by disease. These
curatives properly mixed with alcohol
as stimulant, perfect a remedy I'M
equalled for curing scalp and hair
troubles.
We want everyone who has any
scalp or hair trouble to try Rexall
1913" Hair Tonic. which contains all
these ingredients. If it does not grow
hair on your bal dhead, stop your hair
from falling out; cure you of dand-
ruff make your hair thick, silky, luxu-
RANT; if it does not give you COM
plete satisfaction in every particular
, return the empty bottle to us, and
we shall return every penny you paid
us for it, without question or for
mality.
OF course, you understand that
when we say that Rexall 1913" Hair
Tonic will grow hair on bald heads,
we do not refer to cases where the
roots are entirely dead. the pores of
the scalp closed, and the head has the
shiny appearance of a billiard ball.
In cases like this, there is no hope. In
all other cases Of badness Rexall 1913"
Hair Tonic will positively grow hair,
