THAW LOSES CASH
ON RACES
"PALIID WIFE" GRAPHICALLY
DESCRIBES QUARREL SHE HAD
WITH HUSBAND ON THANKS
GIVING VISIT TO MATTEWAN.

New York, Dec. Mrs. Evelyn
few days ago of her Thanksgiving
visit to Matteawan hospital when she
and her husband had a lively tiff over
money matters. In the course of
their tiff, declared Mrs. Thaw, she
charged Harry with supporting an
other woman in Europe and with
playing the races and plunging in the
stock markets, notwithstanding that
he is immured in state hospital for
the insane.
1T was not my purpose in going TO
Mattewan to even bring up the sub
ject of money" said Mrs. Thaw. Il
went there purely in a kindly spirit
at Harry Thaws solicitation. When
he first wrote and asked me to visit
him | paid no attention to the letter.
Then he wrote me again few days
ago and told me that Toto, a pet dog
of the Thaws, had died in Pittsburg.
Both Harry and / had been very
fond of Toto and he wrote me very
rathetically about the dogs death. /.
was so affected by that | decided TO
pay him Thanksgiving visit.
Thaw Demands Furniture.
Harry shook hands and kissed me.
He seemed very glad to see me-for a
ho
want my furniture. | want it right
away. You know the trustees in my
bankruptcy proceedings are clamor-
ing for it and / must have it. l want
you to turn it right over to me-.
Il will do nothing of the sort l
replied. I know how you are fixed
better than you think. | know that
you've been plunging in the stock
market since you've been in this asy-
lum. You used to play the races
over the telephone down in Pough-
keepsie,' 1 told him, and you are
still playing the races up here
You and your lawyers / said to
him. have conspirec to keep me out
of my income, to which | am justly
entitled. Now, if you keep this up
I'll have my marriage annulled.'
Husband Names ''Dr. Flint
You can't have your marriage
annulled,' Harry shouted at me. I
will not permit it, he said. ri
fight it. I'm giving YOU as much
money as | can afford. If you want
more he cried, go 20 DR.. Flint.
He'll take care of you
What have I got to do with Dr.
Flint I asked him.
Well said Harry. he's respon-
sible for your present situation He's
got all my money. You know why.
Il got very angry then and told
Harry that I would stand no more
of his abuse You probably think
don't know all that is going on, l
know that you are supporting a wo-
man in Europe at the present time,
and | am going to have my marriage
annulled'
Then I saw it would do no good
to talk any more with him, as he had
got some notion about DR.. Flint in his
mind. I left him and came back to
New York Harry's condition is not
improved, though he looks well and
much stronger than he did He's got
to do something to help me pretty
soon, though, or I will get my mar
riage annulled''

lected, beginning in 1862, and two years
later the duties were raised 80 per
cent for a period of ninety days.
After a succession OF tari1 measures
to the wars close a cessation Of this
form OF legislative activity occurred
But in 1870 and 1872 reductions were
made down the list, some Off which
were restored in 1874, making the av-
erage duty 3Sla per cent A tarir

that William II. Morrison of Illinois.

izontal reduction Of 20 per cent on all
taxed products, which was defeated.
During Cleveland's FIRST administra-
tion the Mills bill was a powerful is.

ed In the election Of BENJAMIN Har-
rison to the presidency. He stood for
a high protective tariff. As q result
the Mckinley bill was enacted putting
the duties over the marks reacSed dur.
ing the civil war.
The Wilson Bill.
But the revulsion which followed re.
suited in the reelection OF Cleveland
in 1892. with a Democratic congress.
Then resulted the Wilson bill. provid-
ing for wholesale reductions, particu-
larry as regarding iron and steel man
ufactures. It should be noted that the
DIngley bill in 1897 retained practl.
cally the iron aud steel duties laid
down In the Wilson measure.
Though William Mckinley was elect
ed on the financial Issue in 1896. his
first act after being sworn In as presi-
dent was the calling Of an extra ses-
sion Of congress to repeal the Wilson.
German tarin bill. The result OF that
session was the Dingley law. named
for its author, Nelson Dinglcy. Jr.. Of
Maine. which put the schedules prac.
tically back on the Mckinley basis

ADMINIsTRAT.VE FEATURES.

The bin marks a distinct departure
In that IL provides for a corporation
tax aud a court Of customs. The cor
poration tax. while yielding a large
amount OF revenue, IS primarily de-
signed for the purpose Of government
tai regulation OF corporations, and It
Will have this effect
The fact that the amount Of the tax
70 be assessed was lowered from per
cent to ! per cent is considered by the
members OF congress TO evidence clear
ly that the bill has regulation FOR its
object and not merely revenue.
The customs court OF appeals VIII

There is no appeal from this court.
which VIII sit IN Washington. and the
members Of which will be appointed
by the president
For the purposes Of the operation Of
this court tue country has been divid-
ed into nine customs judicial districts.
While many items In the bill show
revision downward, II will as a whole
provide for an increased revenue. con-
tinulng in general effect the Repub-
lican policy of protection.
Retaliation Measures.
Governmental measures OF retalia-
tion against countries which do not
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi
mum and minimum provisions enable
a higher rate OF tax to be imposed on
the products Of these countries than
would ordinarily have been the case.
The creation Of a commission to look
into the question Of the tariff from
nonpartisan viewpoint is an innova-
tion that has been suggested for many
years. II is generally looked on as
move toward taking the tariff out OF
politics"
A policy long ago established by tar
in makers In this country is retained

ing Of particularly heavy duties on
luxuries.
The drawback" provisions are In
dicative Of a more kind hearted gov
ernmental attitude than had been con-
sidered probable. In brief, a drawback
is a refund OF dusNs moneys paid on
material imported into this country
which is used in the manufacture OF
articles which are themselves exported
from this country.
The guiding spirit in the formula
ton Of the provisions of the new meas
ure has been one 10 fix duties that do
not necessarily encourage Nreign i'm
portation, but shat render 1t impossible
for a combination % capital in any
given line to raise prices above those
that now exist and TO prevent them in
general from being further raised.
President Taft has taken particular
pains to point out this circumstance.
Competition that existed when the
Dingley bill was enacted has been
wiped out by the consolidation Of com
panies and the combination Of inter
ests. President Taft renders the opin-
lon that the Payne tariff bin VIII In
large measure restore the possibility
Of successful competition In the buai-
ness fields so affected

BLAZING CYCLE HITS
CROWD, -FOUR DEAD
Machine,Afte Exploding, Dashes
Into GrandStdnd.

Berlin, July 19.-Four persons were
killed, more than twenty severely In
jured and a dozen others slightly in
jured as the result of the explosion OF
a motor cycle, and fire which fol
lowed it, during a cycle race at the
Old Botanic Gardens. Thousands OF
spectators had gathered around the
track, which was opened for the first
time few days ago.
After few laps the tire of one OF
the pacemakers' motor cycle burst and
the rider lost control The benzine ex-
ploded in a burst of flame and the
machine leaped into the air and hurled
itself against the barrier, which broke
down. So terrific was the speed OF
the motor cycle that it continued on
its course after the explosion, crash
ing into the public stand, hurting spec
tators right and left and setting on
fire several women's summer dresses.
Two women were instantly killed, and
their bodies, saturated with flaming
benzine. were burned to cinders. The
wooden stand caught fire. and the
flames flashed into the faces OF by
ISLANDERS who, with clothing ablaze
rushed about shrieking with pain and
fear. until coolheaded onlookers
therew them to the ground and smoth-
cred the flames.

circled the parade grounds, distance
of about five-sixths of mile, twenty

FATAL FIGHT AT PICNIC
One Dead and Two Shot In Trouble
Started by italian.

Started by italian.
Wilkes.Barre, Pa, July 19.-About
10 be oyertaken, after believing he had
murdered two men, Faldaler Lardenze,
aged thirty years, an Italian, of Pitts
ton, placed a 32-caliber revolver In his
mouth and fired, death ensuing twenty
minutes later. The trouble leading to
the tragedy started at a picnic held
at Browntown. The picnic was pri-
waite one, and when the guests we're
leaving the grove a number OF Italians
made their appearance and demanded
that the festivities continue. The
young men present attempted to
force an opening to get the young
ladies from the pavilion, when some
one pushed an Italian aside, starting
a fight
During the scuf1e Lardenze opened
fire, shooting Arthur Scott, twenty
eight years old, OF Pittston, the bullet
entering his ear. The italian then
started to run through the nearby
fields, posse giving chase. AS the
men gathered in ON him Lardenze
again opened fire, shooting Joseph
Butler, OF Pittston, agent for the
Standard Brewing company. Knowing
he was about TO be caught and prob
ably lynched, the Italian turned the
weapon upon himself, with fatal re-
suits.
1t is said the wounded men will re
cover.

WHY And WHEN
IN A ROTTEN ECC'
Department Of Justice Gets a
Sample From Northwest.

Washington, July IL. - why and
when is rotten egg?" is the issue
formally laid before the department of
justice with a view to government
prosecution in the northwest. While
Attorney General Wickersham was en-
crossed with the details OF the cor
poration tax amendment couple OF
days ago a messenger rushed into the
building with a telegram from G. A.
Neuendorf, of Clark. S. D., reading;
II this day sent package by United
States express for examination" That
was all, and the officials specialized.
Friday the package came. Within,
carefully sealed according to invoice,
was an egg of uncertain age, and with
it was this complaint; 81 this day send
you boiled egg which | believe is rot
ten. have had them several times
Therefore | send this sample to you
for a test. | am not acquainted with
the federal inspectors" The cafe was
named.
The egg. still unexposed, with the
formal complaint, was referred to AS
sistaDt Attorney General Fowler. who
has charge of the legal phase of the
pure food crusade. The egg is dock
eted No. 1853, Subject. Transmits
boiled egg which he believes is rot
ten. 1t seems So File"
Each official in the course of itr
reference through the department en-
dorsed 1t, one inditing this on the
brief: ut is unfortunate the depart
ment did not receive the sample at its
best. Don't blame the hen"
