caution to prevent any recurrence OF
the accident to Oryille Wright at Fort

the methods they arc pursuing IN con
ncction with tho resumption OF the

roughness Of the country. The aviators
occupied the day in working on their
aoToplane.
The machine which Orville will use
to complete the government trial is en-"
tirclv new with the exception OF the

DICK STANDS FIRM
FOR DUTY ON HIDES

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Dick of Ohio today made public let
ter he had written in reply to commu-
nications from manufacturers and 9th
ers interested In a removal of the duty
on hides, declaring himself as opposed
TO removal of that duty As pro
tectlonist, tho senator said, he strovc
tectug all American industries-those
of the farm rs well as those oe the fac
tory, the shop and the mine. As to
hides. he contended that 10 call them
raw materials, as an argument for ad

The argument that the packers were
the chief bcnefciaries on hide duty,

remainder being killed in thousands Of
places all over the country.
Senator Page Defends House.
Senator Page defended the house pro
vision for free hides. He discussed at
length the influence of the Central
Leather company. generally referred to
as the leather trust, on the price of
hides, claiming that it did not tan more
than 25 per cent Of the total number
Of hides in tho country. His conclu-
sion was that that company could not
be the only beneficiary of free trade in
hides.
Or the contrary. he contendod that
the great beef corporations absorb the
profits on hides, whatever they may be.
thus cutting out both the farmer and
the manufactures,
Mr. Page declared that with free
hides the shoe and harness manufac-
turcrs would compete with the world
He SAID the manufacturers average net
profit on shoes is now from D 10 cents

that these manufacturers would be will

People about rushed to the fire as quickly as possl- ble ard in a short time more than 100 people were gathered. The out buildings being past saving, strenuous efforts were made to save the house. Men were stationed all over the roofs, others carried water, even ladies helped One mans coat was burned off him. Every thing was carried out of the house across the road, and when the house was safe things were carried back again, but floors were wet. car pets and many things injured or broken unavoidably. A large new barn. many other out buildings, 800 bushels of corn, all the hay, all the years stock of wood, hens, farming utensils are all gone and the house injured some. There is a rather small insurance. Mir Curtis was away, coming home before the fire was over with hIs two horses and wagon. His father was also away with another horse and single carriage so that much was saved. Mir Curtis and family have the warmest sym pathy of the entire community. His
