OF CONGRESS BY TAFT

WASHINGTON, March S1.-President
Taft today declared himself in favor of
a tariff bureau to be created at this ses-
sion of congress.

foreign trade agreements as well as in
furnishing detailed information to con-
gress and to the white house on various
tariff questions as they arise.
The president was made member of
the executive committee, of the commit
tee of 100, created by the national tariff
convention recently held in Indianapolis.

MIDI, chairman Henry f. TOwne, of
New York, and d. A. Tompkins, of
Charlotte, n. c., called at the white
house to lay before the president the
views of the tariff convention and to re-
commend a permanent tariff commits
sion.

DIR. WILLIAM JONES 7.s.,9
-. KILLED BT F1LIPINOS

MANILA, March Sl.-Word has been
received here of the murder OF DR.. VIM.
Jones. the noted anthropologist who was
secretary of the Field museum, of Chi
eago. at the town of Dumbato, at the
headwaters of Cagayan river in Isabella
province rIfn
No details of the attack have been OBJ
tanned thus far but IT is supposed that
the scientist was set upon and killed by
the wild tribesmen Of that vicinity.
DIR. Jones had been in the philippines
two years, investigating the wild tribes
of the island and preparing an exhaus-
tive report on them for the museum
For several months, he had been study
ing the Ilongotss living among them IN
the hills. rss~{~c1 .t +fT
The government is preparing to send
a party from Echague, the nearest port
TO Dumbato to the scene of the murder.
REGARDED MOST EMINENT
ETHNOLOGIST IN WORLD
CHICAGO, March S1-Dr Jones was
assistant to Prof. John e. Dorsey, cur
ator of the Field Columbian museum ana
considered by him the most eminent eth
nologist IN the world. He went to the
Philippines in the summer Of 1906 to
study the habits and the religion of the
tribes. the expense of the expedition
having been provided for by a fund OF
SOS COO given by Robert +. Cummings, OF
Chicago. He was#to have remained four
years. $50. t.si 1-'a.1't
DR. Jones had Indian blood in his veins.
He was born among the Sank and FOX
Indians in Oklahoma about "a years ago.
When a boy he was sent by the govern
ment to the Indian school at Hampton
Va. From there ne was sent TO AndoVer
academy. at Andover, Mass, where ne
was graduated. ~ Hs-'@.
3,Dr,' ZONES then, entared aFIa bvard! where
he achieved honors. After sheT was, grad
uated from Harvard. he took a post
graduate course at Columbia university
and received the degree of doctor of phil
osophy, Throughout his college career
Dr. Jones pursued the study of ethnolo-
CIV and soon after leaving Columbia he
was engaged by the Carnegie institution
at washington in Astrological investiga-
lions. During his connection with Car
negie institution he accomplished inval-
liable results in unraveling many of the
mysteries of Indian religions. at+
DIR. Jones was not only the most
promising student of ethnology in this
country in my OPINION said'S Prof. Dor
sey, today, but as psychologist 1
think he was unsurpassed. His loss is
the keenest the science of ethnology has
felt i'm many years.
"Only yesterday I received a letter
from him, the tenor Of which clearly in
dicated that trouble might be expected.
He described a route that he had mapped
out through a hostile territory. He had
been living with a friendly tribe and had
become a member of it, With a party
OF these friendly tribesmen he said he in
tended to leave Immediately for re-
mote section of the country, in order to
reach which it was necessary for them
10 pass through this hostile territory"
