Congressman McHenry.

The constituents of Representa-
tive McHenry, of this Congressional
District, irrespective of party con-
nection, have reason to be proud
of the record he has made in look
ing after and supporting their in
terests, which coincide with the
general interests of the country.
Convinced that free raw materials
are essential TO successful marufac-
lures, in his first session he pre-
sented a bill, and ably backed it
with his voice on the floor Of the
House, the purport of which was
to abolish the tariff tax on lumber,
bark, wood pulp, and paper, which
would provide untariff raw mate
rial for a number sof very import
ant industries. But this salutary
measure was smothered in commit
tee under orders from the Congress
sional bosses. At the present ses-
sion, pursuing the same wise econ
omic policy, Representative
McHenry has exerted both his
voice and personal influence for the
removal of the duty on hides, a
measure of general interest, as it
would be productive of cheaper
shoes for the millions of American
people. So greatly is this last eff
fort of Representative McHenry
appreciated by an interest that
would be favorably affected by it,
that he has received special letter
from the Pennsylvania Free Hide
League. thanking him for "his
fight in behalf of the people of this
great country. ."-Snnboyy Demo-

amend the law. The question nat
urally-arises, therefore, Why did
not the men who framed the law
and who were lawyers of known
ability so word the law as to ac-
complish its purpose in the first
placer They must have known OF
the former rulings of the Court.
OF course no one can answer this
question but the fact that the law
as adopted was written by Senator
Elkins who is not only lawyer of
long experience but who owns tie
greater part of a railroad which, i'll
turn, own large mines in West
Virginia may point the way toward
the solution of this intricate prob
lem. 1t will be interesting to OBJ
serve the attitude of Senator FL
kins toward the amendment which
President Taft will urge.

Changers to Meet at State College
Annual Convention Will Convene on Decem
ber 21.

1t is announced that the next
meeting of the Pennsylvania State
grange will be held at State College
December 2I to "a. The place was
selected after the executive COM
mittee and William T. Greasy,
State master, had made trip to
State College and had been satisfied
that the facilities were adequate to
accommodate the delegates.
President Edwin E. Sparks, of
Pennsylvania State College, sent
special invitation to the grangers to
conduct their convention at the co.,
lege. He pointed out that the an
nual Farmers Week" for the ed
ucation of the agriculturists of the
State would be scheduled during
the Christmas vacation period, and
the husbandmen would have an op-
portunity of taking in both events.
The college buildings will be
thrown open for the use of the Wis
itors, and the rooms in the new
building of the School of Agricul-
ture will be placed at their disposal
for sessions. State College feels
able to care for the hundreds of
grangers, since it found room for
the 700 farmers that attended the
Farmers Week last year.
Already arrangements are being
discussed by the Center county
grange, the organization that was
in great measure responsible for the
selection of State College as the
meeting place. All the railroads
running into Bellefonte will send
their trains on to State College.

Boyd Issues Statement.
TWO ACQUITTED OF
 SERIOUS CHARGE

Lake Charles, La, June 19.-The Rev. J. E, Trice and Miss Elvira Youngblood. superintendent and matron respectively of the Louisiana State Baptist orphanage, were acquitted this afternoon when tried here on the charge of assault and bat terry Monroe Kelley, a 12-year-old in- mate of the orphanage, recently appeared in the office of the district attorney and displayed several ugly wounds on his back He said that Matron Youngblood had beaten him with stick while Su- perintendent Trice had looked on. The arrest of Miss Youngblood and Super intendent Trice followed. In discharging them today Judge Overton said that young Kelley had undoubtedly been too severely punished, but that the orphan age bore the same relation to the boy that parents do to their children, and that if the parents of Lake Charles children were brought before him every time they punished their offsprings his court would have little time for any other business.

Nor rison in the contempt eases, and we all feel keenly the interest that is taken in us-not for ourselves, but for what we represent.

Sender of lTeIeuran1.

Washington, June 19.-Some illiterate person or child apparently wrote the tele- gram, signed with the initials of Elsie Siegel, and sent from here to Paul Siegel in New York city on the evening of June P, according to a statement made today by Manager Travis of the Postal Telegraph company. The telegraph oper- ator at the branch office of the company in the National hotel, where the mes sage was filed, said he could not recall whether the message had been brought in by woman or man. The telegram was not signed except for the initials sup posed to be those of the young girl. Off, fieials have made a thorough search through Chinatown in an effort to find some trace of William Leon whom they have been asked to arrest on the charge of homicide. No information is known to have been received as to whether he is in this city or has been here since the girl was killed.
 Another thread was added to the tangled sken of clues in the Siegel murder case tonight when the police learned that three days after the disappearance of Elsie Siegel from New York; a young woman, accompanied by two Chinamen, one an- swering William Leon's description, and a white woman, registered at a Pennsyl- vania avenue hotel

EXPORTS FOR YEAR
 DECLINE HEAVILY

Washington, June 19.-A statement is- sued by the bureau of statistics says that fit is now apparent that the exports from the United States in the fiscal year which ends with the present month will fall materially below those of 1908 and 1907 and slightly below those of 19o6.'
 From statistics compiled by the bureau the total value of domestic merchandise exported in 1908 was s1, ,S35, GOO 900; in 1907, s1,s54 100000, and in 1906, s1,71S,00oooO. The bureau estimates that the domestic ex- ports for the full fiscal year 1909 will be nearly s2OO 100000 below the average of 1908 and 1907 and perhaps s5O,oOo,OoO below those of 1906.
 The causes of this decline are ascribed to practically those which have produced similar conditions in other parts of the world in a reduction in the general de- mand for merchandise and a materal reduction in the prices Of certain of the more important articles exported"
