the House of Lords is open to reform,

then proceeds to state that Mr.. Balfour
anticipates great results from tariff re-
form.
at seems to me- Mr. Balfour de-
clares, that tariff reform will stimulate
home industries. Only by tariff reform
can you hope to retain colonial prefer
ence, to modify commercial treaties in
your favor and secure home produce from
unfair competition in the home market.
1t will do no injury in neutral markets
and may give valuable aid in protected
markets. Is it credible then that 1t will
not keep capital here that otherwise
would go abroad; that if it does the de-
mand for labor will not increase?
ION other aspects Of tariff reform will
say nothing. The very fact that it is the
first plank in the Unionist program has
prevented it ever receiving less than its
due need of attention, whether from
friends or foes" The manifesto closes
with somewhat colorless references to the
land question and to the navy, and dec
laration that no real progress is possible

Murder in Holmes County, 0.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 10-Victims of
a revolving crime, Mrs. Eliza Gribble,
aged 20 years, and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie Ohlander. were found dead in
their homes, in Perry street, West,
here today, while a third woman. Mrs
Maggie Hunter. aged 80, found just
inside the front door of the house, is
dying at the Savannah hospital.
Physicians say that Mrs. Ohlander
was the victim of a criminal assault
before she was killed. The alleged MUIR

ward of $1,000 has been offered for his
capture.

crimes to escape Other arrests will be
made until every Negro in the city
who in any way resembles the de-
scription of Negro, who the last
three days has been seen frequently

in her skull with the implement.
Mrs. Gribble was evidently attacked
from behind as she sat in an easy
chair reading. On the floor beside her
body were found the newspaper she
was reading and her spectacles One
or possibly two blows We're dealt her.
Her gray head, blood matted, shows
the imprint of the blunt side of the
axe head.
1t is probable that Mrs. Hunter was
the first to be struck down; that she
met the murderer at the door as he
entered and was struck before she
could escape. Then the murderer
stealthily approached aged Mrs. Crib
BILE and killed her.
It is believed that Mrs. Ohlander was
attacked as she left her room to enter
the hallway and was assaulted and
killed. Mrs. Hunters skull was crush
ed in and her death is a matter of but
few hours.
Bloodhounds have been at work to
take the trail from the woodshed

the heart of the city and the murders
were probably committed several hours
before the discovery of the bodies, the

opened for through traffic about
January 10th AS yet it has not
been learned just what trains
will be sent over the new line,
but it is thought that for the
time being it Will be mostly
freight trains, the through pas
senger trains continuing to use
the old line over the Ration
mountains. Eventually, how
ever, it is probable that at least
one of the overland trains will
be routed via the cutoff. While
the new route makes very little
saving in distance between Chi
cago and Los Angeles the elimi-
nation OF the heavy grade over
Ration range will more than com
pensate the expense of building
the new connecting line while it
is expected that a considerable
