GLASS-HEADED STEEL PIN.
CAUSES MUCH SUFFERING
Woman Removes Pointed object After
Four Months of Shifting Pains
and Illness

CINCINNATI. March 26.--After trav-
cling for four months through the body
Of Mrs. Oakla Bay Jennings, piercing
the walls of the stomach and penetrat-
ing the lungs, a glass-headed steel pin,
accidentally swallowed by Mrs. Jen-
nings, again made its appearance in her
mouth and has been extracted.
Mrs. Jennings was walking along the
street one day about four months ago,
when she swallowed the pin. Within
a few days her lungs became affected
and she was attacked with severe
coughing spells.
Her condition grew worse and with
in the past several weeks she almost
lost her voice. Wednesday night she
was seized with a severe choking at
tack, threw up her hands and called
to her husband for assistance.
She put her hand to her mouth and
extracted the pin from the soft palate,
from which one end of it projected.
The pin had made a complete circuit
in the woman's body. 1t had become
very rusty and a hard substance had
accumulated on it, making it almost
twice as large as it originally had been.
Mrs. Jennings experienced instant re-
lief upon its extraction and is hopefully
looking forward to complete recovery.

EVERY CONGRESSMAN
WANTS TARIFF PLUM
POU OF NORTH CAROLINA DE-
NOUNCES POLICY
Declares Party Has Violated Promise
in Revising Upward Instead Of
Downward-Exposes
New Schedule

WASHINGTON, March ga place
at the pie counter is desired by US all"
said Representative Pou of North Caro-
lima in discussing the tariff bill in the
house today. But 1 have often thought
our Republican friends get there quick
err, stay there longer and are harder to
get away than any other class of peo-
pie on earth.
Therefore, rather than lose it's place
in the national restaurant, that party
promises to revise your Dingley tariff,
and when you agreed to revise 1t you
meant to revise it downward, in a man
ner fair and just to all sections, and
the people so understand it.
But the Republican party has not
done so.''
Mr.. Pou declared the Payne bill would
be worse than the Dingley law, and
charged the Republicans that Gin the
teeth of your promise to the people to
revise downward you have revised up
ward.
You argued that shoes should be
placed on the free list if hides are ad-
mitted free of duty
Mr.. Pou criticised the wool schedule,
declaring the very necessaries of ey-
eryday living have been doubled by the
imposition of duties. He also said the
duties on women's and children's gloves
have been increased, with the result
that every woman and child in America
will suffer.
The reduction in the lumber schedule
was attacked by Mr.. Pou, who declared
it was another evidence of the favorit-
ism shown in the framing of the bill:
He said every American citizen who
must pay the advance in the price of
tea. which he claimed would result
from the duty placed on this beverage,
would hold the majority of the house
responsible.

BERKELEY, March 26.-Twenty
young women of the senior class at the
University of California went on a
strike (and gained their point when
they discovered that several French
novels assigned to them. for reading in
connection with their French lessons.

They declared that they would give
up the study entirely if the novel
feature were not stricken from the

The women sent delegation to their
instructor, Prof. S. A. Chambers, and
called his attention to some of the
books to which they objected. The list
included Balsac, lola, DeMaupassant,
Dumas, jr and Angler.
The fair compliments stated that
these tales were entirely too racy."
They would rot take French if they
were required to read about affinities
and French heroines of the Zaza type.
Prof. Chambers, after considerable
elaboration, decided to substitute as
a compromise in the special course
Marcel Provost Anatole France, Pros

PER CENT oRlENTALs
Lawmaker from Washington Replies
TO Measurements Made by
Father of New Tariff
Measure
rBy Associates Press.l

WASHINGTON, March 26.-When
the tariff bill was laid before the mouse
today Mr.. Humphreys of Washington
took issue with some statements mace
by Mr.. Payne in his opening speech re-
garding the number of Orientals en-
gagged in the lumber mills in British
Columbia
Mr.. Payne said he thought there We're
fewer Orientals working in such mills
there than in the state of Washington
That statement was erroneous, ne sa1o'
He declared over so per cent OF the
men engaged in the lumber ana snlngie
mills of British Columbia were Orien-
tails and were paid lower wages imam
American mill laborers and that there-
fore the cost of production was less.
out of the 1850 men employed in the
single mills of washington, Mr.. Hum
phreys said, there We're but forty-one
Orjentals. He also said that of the no.
600 men employed in the lumber ana
shingle industry of that state there
were but 1900 Orientals.
Mr.. Humphreys in pleading for an
increased duty on shingles warned the
Republicans that they could not escape
their responsibilities in so far as the
problem of Oriental labor was con-
cerned.
Facing the Facts
s'Now," he said, I'VE have an oppor-
tunity to see whether or not we are
going back on what we have said about
protecting the labor of this country
from the ruinous competition of foreign
countries"
While the Payne bill, he said, has
protected the industries of New Eng
land, Pennsylvania and New York, and
they were in operation, out in washing
ton the conditions were exactly the re-
verse. "Our mills are closing" he said,
"and men are being thrown out OF en-
ployment."
He recounted the benefits derived I'M
der the Dinsley bill and inquired how
he, as a Republican and protection
list, could go back to his constituents
and say that the Payne bill was better
than the Dingley bill.
On the authority of Mr.. Fordney of
Michigan, the Washington member
said that the witnesses before the COM
mittee on ways and means who want
ed lumber put on the free list were
men interested in Canadian timber.
while those who asked for the reten-
ton of the Dingley duty were men in
terested in timber in the United States.
1--WE ought not to hesitate long when
the question is presented" he said,
"for whom we shall legislate."
