Col. Roosevelt retired early last night
and was up early this morning. He
tried out all the apparatus in the ship g

An important point decided was that
Colonel Roosevelt had the seat Of hon

CHAMP CLARK
ON The BILL
Leader Of the Minority in
the House Made Speech
on Tariff Today.
REPUBLICANS TO BLAME

Special By United Press Wire
Washington, March 24:-Champ
Clark, democratic leader in the
house, today, delivered his expected
speech on the new tariff bill. He
was greeted with applause from the
democratic side.
He said, in part:
"The minority does not desire to
waste one moment, but they do want
a thorough consideration of the bill
and chance to amend and improve
wherever judgment dictates.
I'm my judgment this bill can be
greatly improved by amendments In
many respects. Tariff is a tax. Any
one with a reputation for veracity
will not deny this. In the testimony
before the committee only two or
three manufacturers wanted a re-
duction of rates on articles which
they manufactured. One admitted
the tariff on tin plate should be re-
duced to one cent pound. Claus
Spreckles said the tariff on all sugar
should be removed. The situation of
the committee was unprecedented.
"Both parties claimed in their
platforms to be in favor of reducing
publican platform was equivocal
Judge Taft, in his speeches, con-
strued this to mean revision down
ward, nevertheless many benighted
republicans did not believe he was
candid. They came boldly before
the committee after election and as
serted that the platform declared in
favor of raising rates. They were
here to demand their pound of flesh.
"The much vaunted Dingley bill
has brought us to deficit of $l5O,-
100000.
1.-The public looked upon the hear
ings as stupendous confidence
game. The consumer did not appear
before the committee because he be-
lieved the chancs of having his tariff
burden reduced was too remote.
every prohibitive rate in the
Dingley bill, and there are many OF
them, should be cut to revenue
basis. Should a prolonged debate
ensue the republican members are
to blame. The members of the mi
nority have had no share in the
framing of the bill.

CONNELLY OUT
OF BRUNSWICK
Says He Will Manage a Team
to Be Known as the
Perth Amboys.
MEETING THIS AFTERNOON

New Brunswick, March 24:-John
j. Connolly, of Perth Amboy, has
resigned as manager of the baseball
team of the New Brunswick Outdoor
Amusement Company, and, at a
meeting last night, David Driscoll,
who for several years has managed
the Hoboken team, was chosen to
succeed him.
When Mr.. Connolly was seen this
afternoon he said that he expected to
manage a team in this city, to be
called the Perth Amboys. They will
play Sunday baseball at Amusement
Park.
A meeting is being held this af-
ternoon to discuss the proposition of
securing players and grounds. An
effort will be made to have the
grandstand covered and the grounds
improved. Mr.. Connolly resigned
from his position in New Brunswick
because, he claimed, it inconveni-
enced him in his local business and
because he would rather promote
baseball in this city. He recon-
mended Driscoll as his successor and
the latter was named to have charge
of what, Mr.. Connolly says, will be
New Brunswick's only representative
team.

Cleveland, March 24:-There is
practically no doubt but that the
kidnapping suspects arrested last
night are the abductors of Billy
Whitla. The father connected the
descriptions telephoned with the
kidnapers. The most telling evidence
Is the $9,84S in bills found in the
woman's skirt wrapped identically
as Whitla prepared the ransom
money.
The police are still following clues
to the accomplices of the man and
woman. The apartment house on
Prospect avenue, where the police
say the boy was held, fits the de-
scription given to the police by
Billy.
After the arrest of the couple the
place was searched and among other
