Washington, June 19.-The finance
committees amendment to the hide
paragraph OF the tariff bill saw light
In the senate today for the first time
being presented there by Chairman Al
drich. 1t levies tariff of lis per cent
ad valorem on "hides Of cattle, raw
or uncured, whether dried, salted or
picked" with the provision for a
drawback equal to the duty when ex-
ported In the form OF, leather.
The amendment is in the language
Of the Dingley law and in effect to
take the hides from the free Hist
where the house left them.
Senator Clapp objected to the duty
on hides and asserted that the duty
would tend to perpetuate the beef
trust. He declared that his constitu-
ent were patriotic enough to give up
any advantage they might reap In
possible higher price Of hides In order
to help destroy the trust.

FALLING OFF
Government Issues Statement
Of Exports for Month

Washington, June ia statement
issued today by the bureau of statis-
tics says that ''it is now apparent that
the exports from the United States in
the fiscal year which ends with the
present month, will fall materially be-
low those of 1908 and 1907, and slight
ly below those of 1906"
From statistics compiled by the bu-
reau the total value OF domestic
merchandise exported in 1908 was ST.
S35, 100000; in 1907, s1,S54,00O,0 900, and
In 1906, s1,71s.0oO.00O The bureau
estimates that the domestic exports
for the full fiscal year OF 1909 will be
nearly $200,000,000 below the average
OF 1908 and 1907, and perhaps $4,000
600 below those Of 1906.
The cause OF this marked decline In
the export trade of the United States
are described as practically those
which have produced similar condi-
tions In other parts of the world--a
reduction In the general demand for
merchandise and a material reduction
In the prices of the more importans
articles exported"

Woman'S Torso Is Discovered
IN a Chinaman's Trunk
NO MOTIVE FOR CRIME
GOTHAM POLICE CONFRONTED
BY MOST REMARKABLE CASE
VICTIM WAS MISSIONARY AND
GRANDDAUGHTER OF CIVIL
WAR HERO.

New York, June 1s.-The murder of
Miss Elsie Sigel, granddaughter of
Gen. Franz Sigel, whose body was
found last night crowded into a trunk
in room of a Chinese house after
she had been strangled with a curtain
cord, appears to be the most remark
able case the New York police have
had to investigate in many years.
One of the odd phases OF the tragedy
is the failure of the murdered girrs
father, Paul Sigel, to identify the body
as that OF his daughter, while the
girls mother has declared that the ar
ticles of jewelry found i'm the room
with her belonged to Elsie Sigel. A
number of persons, the police declare.

friend of Chlnaman. william l.. Leon.
In whose room the body was found.
Notwithstanding these identifica-
tions, 1t was stated at the home of
Sigel today, that the girls father had
gone to Washington, "to bring Elsie
home"
William l.. Leon, the Chinaman. who
was also known by several Chinese
names, was still unfeund today, as
was also Chung Sin, who occupied the
room adjoining that OF Leon. Both
rooms are on the fourth floor of 7S2
Eighth avenue, between Forty Seventh
and Forty Eighth streets, over a
Chinese restaurant conducted by Sun
Lung.
Miss Sigel had been engaged in mis-
sionary work among the Chinese OF
this city for a few years, having be-
come interested therein by the ACTIVITY
OF her mother in behalf OF the chris
tianization Of the Orfentals.
The young woman was about 80
years old. Her grandfather, Gen.
Franz Sigel, was one Of the most pic
turesque figures OF the civil war.

This rather surprising turn In the

Senator's Not Tied Down on

ANSWERS JERMANE'S ROAST
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR SAYS
THAT STATEMENT THAT "AG-
RlcuLTuRAL STATES" sENA-
TORS ARE TRADING ON GRAIN

Washington, d. c., June 1a.-'Ig-
noring the malice, which, whether tenn
anated from the source Of information
or unconsciously found expression In
both the correspondents article and
editorial, the argument is. to say the
least. weak and fiat" said Senator
McCumber last night while discussing
the Jermane article, which appeared
recently in The Minneapolis Journal
with a Forum correspondent Contin-
uing, he said, THE sum and substance
of Jermane's argument is, that sena-
tors representing the agricultural
states are prevented from voting as
they please on other schedules because
they secured a raise of 5 cents per
bushel In the duty on wheat, and plac-
ed the duty on barley and barley malt
back to where it was under the Dingley
law, the house having cut the duty
down one half for the benefit of the
brewers
Such a statement pays a very poor
compliment to the intelligence Of these
senators. Just how this act Of JUS
tice to the North Dakota farmer pre-
vents any senator from voting for
lower duty on either those articles or
any other article is difficult to un-
derstand.
according to this publication, one
would think that IL some other sena-
tor should move to reduce the duty
on barbed wire or wooden cloth, the
chairman Of the finance committee
would say to him, we have raised the
duty on Canadian wheat and that
would Immediately squelch that sem
ator. A senator who would be
squelched by such weak argument
could hardly be credited with sense
enough to navigate alone

"As matter of fact" said Nc
Cumber, mo such thing has ever hap

no trading on the agricultural sched-
