BANDITS ROB A GOLD Mine
rHREE MASKED MEN RAD A
cot oRApo BUNKHoUsE.
Make Inmates Keep Quiet and Then
Get Away With
! 10000.

Telluride, Col.-Holding five men
and two women helpless under
the muzzles of reyolvers, three
masked men early In the morning OBJ
tanned $4,000 in gold from the bunk
house OF the Nellie mine, on Bear
creek, and made their escape after a
running fight, during which several
shots were fired and one OF the horses
ridden by the bandits was wounded.
Fred Zanetti, former employee OF
the mine, was arrested in Telluride
and held pending an investigation.
The police allege that mask similar
to those worn by the bandits was
found in Zanetti's room.
Another circumstance which the po-
lice believe is strongly corroborative
of the evidence which they claim
shows Zannetti's connection with the
robbery is that two days ago Zanetti
borrowed rifle from the Nellie mine,
which has not yet been returned. This
was the only weapon at the mine.

FIRST RESULTS Of IHt Tariff
RAISE PRICES OF READY MADE
SUITS.
CIethierD Declare Retention Of the
Present Wool Rates Will Force
Advance.

Washington. advance note
Of warning to wearers of ready.
made clothing to prepare for rise
Of at least Is per cent in the price OF
their apparel is sounded by a special
committee of the National Association
Of Clothiers. The organization pur.
ports to be composed of 81 per cent
of the leading clothing manufacturers
in the United States, supplying IS pei
cent of the clothing.
The committee, in statement is.
sued as protest to the senate, de,
plores the retention of what are prac.
tically Dingley bill rates on wool and
says that their effect has been such
in recent years as gradually to re.
duce the amount of wool carried in
imported cloth.
Will Force Prices Up.
Through the inability of the cloth
to stand ordinary wear the manufac.
turer has been gradually deprived of
the opportunity to produce garments
upon which good regulations can be
based, and the prices consequently
must go up. The members of the spe-
cial committee are:
Marcus M. Marks, president of the
National Association of Clothiers.

& Co., Chicago.

viii Cost "a Per Cent More.
Setting forth frankly the prices that
are proposed for clothing next season,
the committee says:
The advance prices on worsteds
which have been announced, follow
ing the steady deterioration of fab
RIGS in weight and quality, resulting
from the operations from the Dingley
bill, will add to the retail prices ap-
proximately $3.50 on a $40 suit of
clothes; So on SIS suit, and SIS on
$40 suit, or from 20 per cent to 25
per cent to the cost Of clothing to the
wearer. The aggregate burden of the
increased cost OF mems and boys
clothing to the American people I'M
der the present advance alone will
be $120,000,000 for the year 1910,
which is twice the value Of the an
nual domestic wool clip.
The foregoing, it is set forth, DEM
onstrates the results already appar-
ent to the actual manufacturers of
clothing, and they can see no change
unless the senate bill. through some
undergoes radical overhaul
ing before 1t reaches the president.
