Whatever the results that obtain from the Payne tariff bill the Repub- lican majority will certainly assume the responsibility. For it is evident from the trend of events that the Democrats will not impede the report ing of the bill to the senate, as recom- mended by the Republican-eontrolled committee. Most of the discussion by Democrats will be on the merits of the amendments which will be offered.

Manila, May 6-The usual serenity
of this town has been disturbed by
the mysterious presentation at the
home of DR.. j. B. Gardner of baby
boy apparently about twenty-four
hours old. The members of the family
retired at the usual hour last night
and shortly after We're disturbed by a
noise down stairs. Investigating the
cause of the disturbance, valise was
found in the front hall and in the
valise reposed the baby
Accompanying the child was a nurs-
ing bottle and note pinned to the
child's clothing contained request
that the doctor care for the babe and
that he would hear something later.
Much curiosity is experienced as to
the manner in which the valise with
Its human burden was deposited in the
Gardner home The doors were all Sc
curely locked and the presence of the
valise was not discovered until all had
retired. No trace of the child's parents
or how the presentation was made, can
be ascertained. AT present the child is
being cared for by the family. Its flu
ture disposition has not been deter
mined

Glyndon is 20 years old. and since

be backed by the united conviction If

miscarriage of justice and that he
should be allowed to pass his twiligh,

know which We are. 1t is, like mar
