FOUND DROWNED.
Body of William Kitterell is Found
in the Chehalis River-Possibly
Foul Play

The body of William Kittrel., a
logger of Montesano, aged 81 years,
was found in the Chehalis river
boom last Thursday. and brought to
this city. Kittrell was last seen on
the morning of July 4, when he said
he was going to Seattle to meet his
father, who was coming from Mis-
souri,.
He was known to have liberal
supply of money, though but SO cents
was found on the body, fact that
led to the suspicion of foul play A
woman in Montesano, employed at
the boarding house where Kittrell
lived in that city, has given it out
that she dreamed of the murder Of
Kittrell by two men and a woman
and his body thrown in the river.
The body was badly decomposed
but evidence Of murder was decerni-
BILE, and the authorities are prob
ing into the cause of his death with
all the diligence possible. He was
buried Friday, under the auspices of
the Eagles. of which order he was a
member.

SEATTLE, July "a. - no.
titled Governor Hay by letter today
that I am ready to make report in
the case of Ortis Hamilton, and !
expect to be asked to go to Olympia
for conference some day next

IL have received complete accounts
from Washington, d. c., for period
covering seven years relative to the

state accounts, will be turned over
to the expert accountants to work
upon, and I expect that the exact
amount of Gen. Hamilton's pecula-

week. have no way of determining
the populations accurately myself,
but have left this work for the ex-
perts.

with those received from Washington

PRESIDENT WANTS
CHEAPER LEATHER.
Insists Upon Reduction in Rate on
Hides-.Conferees to Work
Sunday.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The
hide question was settled and unset
tied today, and while there seems
little doubt that eventually hides
will go on the free list of the new
tariff bill, the contest over their
status cannot be regarded as closed
None of the questions made prom
inent through President Taft's inter-
est in them was settled today, al
through the conference was in strict
executive session all day. The con-
ferees expect to spend large part of
Sunday wrestling with these prob
lens. The indications are tonight
that the conference rates upon the
important questions still in dispute
will be as follows:
Hides, free. Oil, free. Lumber,
rought, $1.25 thousand feet, with
proportionate differentials. Coal, As
cents a ton, without the house reci-
procal clase. Iron ore. Is cents a
ton. Print paper, $3.50 a ton.
Practically one full week has been
occupied by the conferees in an ef-
fort to settle these questions. Most Of
the time has been devoted to hides.
This subject is complicated by state
ments coming from boot and shoe in
terests that they are ready to agree
to substantial reduction on leather
goods If hides are put on the free
list. These interests apparently felt
sure that there could be no reduc-
tions on boots and shoes below 15 per
cent ad valorem, the house rate.
President Taft stated to a num-
Der Of his callers that-he would in
sist upon a reduction to at least 10
per cent ad valorem with propor-
tionate decreases on the rates of oth-
er leather goods.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1909-07-26

and print paper schedule. On ac-
count of the statement of Represent
ative Mann, of Illinois, who was
chairman of the special committee
which investigated this whole sub
ject and reported reduced rates to
the house. that he would vote against
the conference report unless the
views of his special committee were
recognized the conferees have delay
ed disposing of this schedule.
The house rate on print paper was
fixed at 81 ton. The senate rate is
81 ton as against the existing rate
of Sc a ton. The general impression
is that the senate conferees will offer
to compromise with the house by
agreeing to accept a rate of SO. Sem
ator Hale is opposing any reduction
of the senate rate; therefore the SUBJ
ject is likely to be one of the last
settled
The paragraph affecting women's
gloves, on which the house advanced
the existing rate is among those on
which action has been deferred. The
senate conferees are holding out for
an amendment restoring Dingley
rates. A compromise has been sug-
gested which puts schmaschen gloves
on the free list. This is the cheap
est glove manufactured and is not
made in the United States at all.
They retail at about Is cents a pair,
and it is said the effect would be
to reduce this retail price to about
SO cents a pair. The schmaschen is
recognized as an inferior article. The
compromise contemplates leaving the
rates on the higher grades, the same
as they were fixed by the house.

Eyes on the President.

Most people here expect that pres
ident Taft will sign the bill. He.
hiself, caused a furry throughout
congress last Friday night by the is
sue of what amounted to an in
formal message to congress in which
he reiterated his conviction that the
national platform of the republican
party meant, and the sentiment Of
the people as a whole demanded. a
bona fide downward revision of the
tariff. After all is said this state
ment really surprised nobody, as the
president had said substantially the
same thing in his recent speech at
New Haven, but it served to cry
stalize a somewhat fluctuatiing senti-
ment of the committee of conference
and it may have expedited the COM
mittee's action.
In all probability the five subjects
which have received president Tafts
personal attention-iron ore, coal, oil
macs anu IuIllDeT-Wlll ne taken up
by the conferees during the latter
part Of the present week. There are
a number of paragraphs in the bill
which cannot be disposed Of until
rates are determined for the subjects
named. Proceeding upon the as
sumption that iron ore and oil will
be placed upon the free list and that
existing duties on coal, hides and
lumber will be materially reduced,
the conferees are preparing amend
ments to be offered on articles re-
lated to the foregoing raw materials.
In consequence all OF these subjects
may be disposed of Immediately after
duties have been determined for the
more important subjects.
Oustside of the questions which are
receiving the personal attention of
President Taft, the greatest difficulty
anticipated relates to the wood pulp

WASHINGTON LETTER
GAME OF SKU71LECOCK and
BATTLEDORE NEARING end.
Fight Now Closing on Long Zigzag of
Tariff Measure Through Gauntlet
of COnfliC ting interests. Warning
of President Taft May Have Re-
suits.

WASHINGTON D. G., July "a
rhe tariff bill is nearing the end OF
its adventurous journey through the
wilderness of conflicting political, To-
cal and commercial interests, in
which, SO to speak, it has been an
imperiled way wayfarer since the be-
ginning of the extraordinary session
of Congress convoked by President
Taft Immediately upon his Inaugural
tion neary five months ago.
The session convened on March Is
and two days later Chairman Payne,
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, introduced the provisional
bill, the material for which had been
gathered at hearings of his commit
tee beginning last November. The
house wrestled with the bill until
April 10, when it was passed and
transmitted to the senate.
Substantially all of the time since
the middle of April the bill has been
the shuttlecock of the conflicting in
terests in the senate, and it was pass
ed by that body near midnight of
July 8, after an all-day session, men,
orable for bitterness of controversy
and the partial abandonment of the
ordinary party lines. The measure
was then returned to the house,
which in short order voted to dis
agree, and the poor old bunch of
patchwork has since been the sub
ject of close and constant work on
the part of the Republican confer
ence committee, consisting of Sena-
tors Aldrich, Burrows, Penrose, Hale
and Cullom and Representatives
Payne, New York; Dalzell, Pennsyl-
vania; Nc Calderhead, Kansas and
Fordney, Michigan. The democratic
members of the conference have had
no part in the deliberations.
The conference committee is now
near the end of it's task and it's re-
port is expected to be completed in
the last part of this week. How long
it will take the senate and the house
to pass finally upon the work of the
conference committee and what will
be the ultimate fate of the measure
as a whole is the subject of varying
conjecture but the general impress
sion in quarters usually we'll inform
ed is that the report of the commit
tee will be adopted by both houses
and will reach the hands of the pres
ident early next week.
