TWISTING WIND STORM
VISITS TUCSON, DOING
$4,000 DAMAGE

TUCSON, July 16-A wind storm OF
unprecedented force and twisting char
acter visited this city this afternoon,
causing damage to the extent of $4,000,
completely unroOfng the handsome
Heidel house, the largest hotel in

allowing the water free play.
The Ronstadt carriage factory and
Tucson ice plant suffered heavy loss. No
one was injured, although many guests
at the Hotel Heidel were thrown into a
panic.

He said the question in each case
was a question of fact, to be deter
mined by evidence as to whether the
duty was excessive so that a downward
revision, or putting the article on the
free list, would not injure the indus
try,
"He said he had reached this con-
struction of the platform on what he
understood to be the principle of pro-
lection and its justification, namely,
that after an industry was protected
by a duty equal to the difference be-
tween the cost of production abroad
and the cost of production in this
country, including a fair profit to the
manufacturer, the energy and enter
prise of American business men and
capitalists, the effectiveness of Ameri-
can labor and the ingenuity of Ameri-
can inventors, the impulse of competi-
ton behind the tariff wall would re-
duce the cost of production, and with
reduction in the cost of production the
tariff rate would become necessarily
high and ought TO be reduced.
He felt strongly the call for a
downward revision within the limita-
tions of protective principles and he
hopes to be able to respond to that
call as he heard it, as we'll in the in
terests of the party as of the coun-

pITTSBURG, July 16.-Street cars,
vehicles and pedestrians are being held
In today by steel strikers in the Nlcln-
itv of the Pressed steel Car company
plant at MeKees Rocks, where there
has been much disorder and some
bloodshed during the last two days.
Every approach to the big plant Is
guarded by the men and everyone Is

the coming of daylight riottng ceased
BY 9 o'clock, however, the streets
again took on a lively aspect, the strlk,

the mill entrances. No violence was
offered and the state police took up
a position at the upper end of the
town,
At the first sign of rioting the troop
ers are under orders to ride into the
crowds and to shoot.
At $50 o'clock the group of idle
workmen had increased to such an
extent that an order was given 10
clear the streets. The coEstabulary IN
squads of ten scattered the strikers.
Little resistance was offered at the
time. but later, when it was believed
all was well, the troopers were show

licemen were slightly hurt. The num-

Thousands in Riot
Several men have bullet wounds
but the majority sustained bruises
and cuts when the constabulary rode
into the crowd. At one time fully III,
QUO men, women and children gathered
at a large gate of the works. Stones
were thrown into the stockade and
then the foreigners opened fire upon
the police inside.
Suddenly the big gate swung back
and twenty-five troopers, firing their
carbines in the air, rode into the mob
full speed. For a while the air was
filed with screams and curses of the
strikers and their sympathizers, while
the crack of the guns spread terror
The mob was driven half a mile from

Rates on Post View Cards Raised

\ number of the senate reductions,
including cigar flaps, and labels, and
the senate increase in the rates on post
view cards were adopted. The latter
increase is the greatest example of re-
vision upward in the bill, the advance
being more than ten times the exist
ing rates. 1t was made necessary be-
cause Germany manufactures more
than 80 per cent of the cards repre-
senting views of American scenery.
The agricultural products schedule
has been completed although many of
the rates agreed upon are only tenta-
tive As there has been no settlement
of the differences relating to lead bull
ion, the paint schedule and other lead
products also remain in controversy.
Varnishes have been made dutiable
by an agreement reached today in a
manner following closely the existing
law. A rate of 81 per gallon and 90
per cent ad valorem, is placed upon
all spirit yarnishes, but an exception
Is made of paints made with varnishes
containing per cent or more of methyl
alcohol, which has been made dutiable
at So per cent ad ValOrem.
1t was asserted tonight that the glove
question will be one of the last to be
determined by the conferees.
The corporation tax amendment is
still in the custody of Attorney General
Wickersham, and was not considered
today by the conferees.

Dispose of Wines

An important schedule disposed of
today was wines, spirits and liquors.
The senate made an increase amount
ing to about Is per cent on most of the
articles. On champagnes, in bottles,
the rate of IS a dozen quarts, is adj
vanced to $3.50, with a similar advance
on other sizes.
1t is estimated that these rates will
produce about $3,0OO,O0O annually more
than derived under the Dingley act
The Grecian government also has
played a small part in fixing rates.
Zante currants, dutiable at cents "A
pound under existing law, were ad-
yanced one-half cent by the senate
when specially prepared for consump-
tion by Gaping and stemming. AS
this is the form in which currants are
put up for export, in Greece, the eff
feet of this amendment would be to
raise the rate on the shipments from
that country.
The Grecian minister in this city set
forth the facts to the state department,
and his views were communicated to
the conferees. As the result of an in
yestigation which followed, the senate
increase was rejected. Zante currantS
valued at more than $1,5OO,O0O were I'M
ported in 1907, the revenues aggregat-
ing S7S7195.

PROTESTS
AGAINST CHANGE IN
SHADE TREE Law
Secretary Goes to Trenton to
Have New Bill Vetoed
by Fort.

Officially representing Mayor Hauss-
ling, his secretary, Wilson J.. Vance,
left for Trenton today to protest
against Governor Fort attaching his
signature to Assembly bill No. 1873,
which takes the power of appointing
shade tree commissioners from the
mayor and vests 1t in the Common
Council. Mr.. Vance is accompanied
by President James A. Berry, of the
local Shade Tree Commission, and Sec
rotary Carl Bannwart, of that body.
Governor Fort will be confronted by
delegations from at least ten other
cities of the State where there are COM
missions. The bill was introduced on
March 10 by Assemblyman Ginnelley.
1t is said to emenate from Trenton. Ii
has passed both the House and Senate
and only waits the Governors sigma
ture to become a law.
From the mi the bill was in
troduced there was united opposition
to 1t throughout the State. There are
thirteen commissions now in New Jer-
sey. The fight against the bill has been
headed by the Newark commission.
The, sent out requests to other bodies
to be present in Trenton today.
If the bin becomes a law it takes
effect Immediately. That would iegis-
late out of office the three commits
sioners and leave it to a political body,
such as the Common Council is. to APP
point their successors. In municipali-
ties where there are financial boards
they would have power to make these
appointments.

Because the State had no evidence to

indicted for manslaughter and assault
and battery in causing the death Of
George Hechtel, set for hearing before
Judge Davis in the Court of Quarter
Sessions today, nolle prosequi proceed

sen store at so Prince street, and
Hechtel was a plumber at Al Somerset
street. On the night of January rs last
Hechtel went to the store, according to
the story told at the time. and ordered
a sandwich. 1t is alleged that he re-
fused to pay for it, and in the row that
followed ne was thrown into the street.
He was picked up by the police, who
assumed him TO be a drunk, n locked
up in the Fourth Precinct station
house. He died oon afterward.

Something About the Origin OF
the Emblem of Good
Friday.
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
If you haven't any daughters
Give 'em to your sons

Give EN- 10 your sons.
This is the ancient verse that is being
hummed by the children of Newark
just now. They adapt the words to
almost any air hat comes across their
minds.
1t is not every one who could tell the
origin of this peculiar custom of eat
ing buns on which there is the imprint
of a cross.
Some authorities date the origin of
the cross on the bun to the plague
stricken periods of the Middle Ages,
when the church at the instance Of
many physicians agreed to relax the
rigid diet prescribed for Good Friday,
allowing the faithful to eat these
''bouns' with the stipulation that they
should all be marked with a cross.
Many superstitions crept in with re-
gard to hot cross buns. They were
supposed to possess the power to ward
off witches, cure internal diseases and
protect dwellings from fire If eaten be-
fore any other food on Good Friday
morning.
Local bakers are preparing for the
largest season ever known. Inquiry
among the leading bakeries develops
the fact that Newark and its suburbs
are expected to consume in the neigh
borhood of 175, 900 dozen buns of various
makes and descriptions. Taking the
average cost of the buns-they are of
different degrees of richness-at ten
cents a dozen. this would amount to the
sum of $1T.50 that Newarkers will
spend for this-frivoIous, as so-called
by some-custcm.

ing of buns. but one Of the most popu-
lar Is the following:
-Four pounds of sifted -four, one pound
of sugar, one gill of yeast, one and a
half ounces of allspice, one pint milk
ard enc pound of butter. Mix the
-four with HI allspice and sugar. Make
a hole in the Centre, and stir in the
yeast and milk made lukewarm. Cover
the pan over with a folded cloth and
set to rise for two hours.
Melt the butter. just allowing 1t to

The scale on which the process of
making buns is carried on IN the large
local bakeries is enormous, wnen com
pared to the home baking.
Large watts are filed with immense
quantities of molasses. flour. milk and
eggs. Then Che huge steel knives are
started and the materials are thorough
