C0NFEREES RETURN TAR

Chairman Payne, Of the Ways and Means Com.
mittee, Presents Report Of Conference Committee
Soon After House ConveneS-..A Taft Victory.

2s per cent. ~ad vaiorem on goods
brought into the United States from
countries discriminating against this
country The drawback provision of
the ningley law was restored with q
slight addition controlling the use Of
alcohol in articles of export.
The customs court was retained, and

a clearly detailed comparison between
the present so called Dingley law and

| most of the more important and sharp
| ly contested provisions and scheduled.
a radical Encouragement Of classic
| cation, and a shifting from specific to
al valorem duties. leave few common
terms for comparison.
Mr.. Payne's statement comprised
an analysis of the bill, showing
both the increases and the de-
creases. but this detailed presentation
was proceeded by general summary In
which he undertook to show the extent
OF revenue increases and decreases &C.
cording to schedules. According to this
showing the total increases were on i'm
portations valued at $852512.525 and the
total decreases on importations amount
ing to s4.97S. 122, 124.
In this preliminary statement Mr..
Payne said that he had made an inves-
tigation based on the census returns of
1905, showing the amount of domestic con-
sumption of articles upon which duties
have been raised and also the articles
upon which duties have been lowered by
the bill finally reported from the con-
ference committee. This had been done
because comparisons have been made
based upon the amount Of importations,
he said. 80
Duties" he said. have been lowered
where they were too high under the
present law. sometimes prohibitive in
character. and for that reason the i'm
portations were comparatively small. On
the other hand they have been raised in
some instances where the tariff was in
sufficient for protection and the importa-
lions were very great" .a
He then gave the following table which
shows the consumption value of articles
on which rates of duty have been in
creased and decreased in all cases where
the amount of production could be ascer-
tanned: -

BEMIDU BOAT CLUB WILL
KEEP THE LAKE CLEARED
Will Also Remove Obstruction in Mississippi River Three
Miles East-Adopt New Penant.-Require Boats
to Garry Two Life PreserYers.

The Bemidji Boat club has taken
active measures to prevent the ac-
emulation of "deadheads," stray
timber and other refuse on the
shores of Lake Bemidji or in the
lake that would tend to impede the
plying of the waters by the many
launches which are owned in the
city.
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
club held last evening. it was de-
cided that all members of the club
should form a committee of the
whole to visit all parts of the lake
and inspect the shore at all points.
with reference to locating favorable
places for docks and landing places,
also to locate any "deadheads" or
other distractions in the water and
assist in removing the same,
The club will also place stationary
buoys at one or two points where
there are sandbars, etc. There is a
rocky obstruction quarter of a
mile from Diamond Point" and a
sandbar out from the bridge over
the Mississippi river, on the east
shore of the lake, which will be
distinctly marked, so that bold
mariners" who traverse the waters
during the twilight or darkness may
not come to grief.

Immediately. Bemidji has materia

Nangle and w. E. Murphy were the
star actors.
The occasion was one which will

clear of distractions.
The club will also clear away an

STIRLING DIVORCE
SUIT DECIDED
HusbandWins Case
and Custody of
Only Child
UNROMANT|C AND HUMDRUM
.Scsthing Judgment of Lord
Guthrie Who Pie,ided
at Trial.

Edinburgh, March 10.-The sensa-
tional Stirling-Cross divorce suit was
decided today by Lord Guthrie, who
granted the husbands petition and
awarded him the custody Of the child
and denied the cross-petition of Mrs.
Stirling. John Alexander Stirling,
Laird Of Kippondaire, was married
three years ago to Clara Elizabeth
Taylor, an American show-girl, who
came from New Jersey. Last fall the
,cross-suits for divorce were filed, Mrs.
Stirling naming Mrs. Atherton, and
Stirling naming Lord Northland, as
correspondents. In giving judgment,
Lord Guthrie said the case had no
legal interest and that it should not
have any public interest. Most of the
evidence had been taken up with
petty questions of selfish and idle
lives which contained little or moth
ing romantic and little that was even
mock-heroic. Stirling, he said, in
meeting Mrs. Atherton welcomed an
introduction he should have Stunned.
Lord Guthrie discredited the idea OF
plot to get rid of Mrs. Stirling by
forcing her to guilty affection for
Northland, but thought her letters to
Northland indicative of guilty rela-
tions. Northland's counsel immedi-
ately gave notice of an appeal.

Washington, D. c., March TO-
Through James H. McKenney, veter-
an clerk of the supreme court of the
United States, it is learned that Presi-
dent Taft"s lips fell upon very sig
nificant passage of the Bible, when
after taking the oath Of office he
kissed the sacred volume. When Mr..
Taft reverently leaned over and
touched his lips to the open book, they
fell upon the third chapter of First
Kings, at point beginning: "Give
therefore Thy servant an understand
ing heart to Judge Thy people, that
may discern between good and bad,
for who is able to Judge this Thy so
great people," This was the prayer
of Solomon at the beginning of his
reign, and the passage closes with the
statement that the prayer was an
swered because of its unselfish char
acter.

PROSECUTION REPLIES
TO THE DEFENSE
Attorney General Garner of Ten
nessee Addresses Jury In Cooper
Sharp Trial.

Nashville, Tenn, March 10.-In the
Cooper-Sharp trial for the murder OF
Senator Carmack, Attorney General
Garner began the argument for the
state Immediately after court opened.
He said it was "a monstrous and cruel
misrepresentation" on the part CT
General Meeks for the defense to say
that Senator Carmack called Colonel
Cooper a dive-keeper and that in do
ing so he falsified the court records.
Turning to counsel for defense he
said: IF you gentlemen of the de-
tense have not enough evidence to
bring in verdict of acquittal then dc
not be detected in the act OF falsi.
flying and deceiving the jury" He de-
clared, no matter what Carmack said
on the stump or wrote in Tennessee,
there was no justification for the muir
der. He ridiculed General Meeks as a
lawyer for attempting to apply the
s'unwritten law" If their argument is
good, he continued, "what in the name
of God should be the punishment sle.
ted out to John Sharp and Robin Coop
er for their vile epithets to Senator
Carmack?"
Attorney General Garner said that
all evidence pointed to the fact that
Colonel Cooper was not the only one
in homicidal mood on the day Of
the shooting, that even his own SON
went into the streets to search for
him. He called attention to the dis
crepancy in the testimony of the
three defendants the two Coopers
swearing that Carmack drew the gun
first and Sharp to the effect that
Robin Cooper pulled first. "But If
Senator Carmack drew his gun" he
continued, "Why did he not shoot?
What does man draw his gun for ex-
cept to shoot. They would have you
believe that Carmack waited until
Robin, who says he was paralyzed for
an instant, jumped in between Car
mack and his father Referring to
the testimony Of Mrs. Eastman, the
attorney general said: "They say
she lied. He'll instigated no blacker
calumny. All people lie who oppose
them"

INTENSE: FIGHT
WITH DEATH
Two Brothers Burr
ed by Cave-in of
Utah Mine
WORK HARD.
Two Inch Pipe Furnishing
Air and Means to Give
Nourishment,

Salt Lake, Utah, March 10.-Two
brothers, Jerry ana George Peterson
entombed since 4 o'clock on Monday
afternoon in a narrow space behind
tons of earth, their lives dependent
upon two-inch pipe until the frantic
efforts of three score Of willing work
ers cleared away the barrier, with but
little nOurishment for more than
twenty-four hours and lacking fresh
air, these men are the principals OF
a scene of terrible intensity now be-
ing enacted in little mine high up on
the mountain side, six miles east of
Murray Early this morning the res.
cuing party was within two feet of
the imprisoned men when another
cave-in occurred, placing six feet
more of earth between them. Just
before the last cave.in the rescuers
talked to the prisoners. One of their
number is desperately i'll and may die
if aid does not reach him soon The
men are standing in two feet of wa
ter. When the cave-in started, Jerry
Peterson, seeing the danger hastily
threw a length of iron pipe along the
floor of the tunnel ahead of him.
This pipe is now being used to give
the men fresh air by means of bel
lows, and milk by attaching a rubber
tube.
At noon today the rescuing party
reached within eight feet of the en-.
tombed men. 1t is hoped to reach
them sometime this afternoon.
