PRESIDENT GIVES OUT FULL
AND COMPREHENSIVE STATE
mENT ABOUT MEASURE.
Believes 1t to Be Sincere Effort on
the Part Of the Republican Party
to Comply With Platform Promises
AS Nsar a Perfect Bill as Could
Be Expected.

Washington, Aug. 5.--President
Tart tonight gave out statement
embodying his views of the new tariff
act. He supported. it as sincere
effort for downward revision The
statement follows:
Il have signed the Payne tariff bill
because / believe 1t to be the result of
sincere effort on the part OF the re-
publican party to make downward
revision and to comply with the prom
ises of the platform as they have
been generally understood and as /
interpreted them in the campaign
This Is not perfect tariff bill, or
a complete compliance with the prom
ises made. strictly interpreted. but IA
fulfillmcnt free from criticism in re-
spect to il subject matter involving
many schedules and thousands of ar
ticles could not be expected. 1t suf-
fices to say that except with regard
To whisky, liquors and wines. and in
regard 10 silks and to some high
classes of cottons. all of which may
De treated as luxuries and proper
subjects of "A revenue tariff. there
have been very few increases in rates.
There have been a great number
of real decreases in rates, and they
constitute a sufficient amount To jus
tify the statement that this bill is
a substantial downward revision, and
a reduction of excessive rates This
is not a free trade bill. IL was not
intended to be. The republican party
did NOT promise to make it free
trade bill. 1t promised to make the
rates protective, but To reduce them
when they exceeded the difference
btween the cost of production abroad
and here. making allowances for the
greater normal profit on active invest
ments here. | believe that while this
excess has not been reduced In "A
number of cases. in a great majority
the rates are such AS are necessary
to protect American industries but are
low enough in case of abnormal in
crease Of demand and raising of prices
TO permit the possibility of importing
the foreign articles and thus tn pre-
vent excessive protection.
THE Philippine tariff section | have
struggled To secure for 10 years past
and IL gratifies me exceedingly hy my
signature To give 1t the effect nf law.
| am sure il will greatly increase the
1t will do much to build up the Phil
ippine islands in healthy prosper
ity."

dispute over an irrigation ditch, Ben
+. Glover was brought to Hamilton
this morning with his head literally
smashed TO bits as the result of a blow
with a shovel in the hands of Audrey
Bradley, a ditchkeeper in the employ of
George w Ward. There We're no eye
witnesses to the tragedy and. as Glover
has been unconscious ever since the
blow was struck. he has been unable
to tell his side of the story.
Bradley was taken in custody by
Sheriff Ward early this afternoon. Civ
ing himself up on the road to this
place and his story of the affair Is
the only one which has been heard.
From Bradley's account of the trag-
ody, it appears that Glover. who owns
a ranch in Wards cove, has been haT-
ing considerable trouble of late with
his irrigation, claiming that he had not
enough water and that his land was
drying upon him. Difficulties have
been continually arising ever since
Glover took the ranch and yesterday
things came to "A climax. when,
ii seems. Glover took matters into his
own hands and turned the water from
the main ditch of the district into
one of his laterals. Trouble at once
ensued between him and Bradley. who

way or ether, Glover was hit over the

Bradley's Story.


Bradley. when arrested yesterday.
gave on. statement telling of the
flight and giving his version of the
trouble. He asked to have his words
taken down exactly as he spoke them
and they We're as follows:
Il was working for George w. Ward
as ditch tender and had a full ditch
of water | was down making small
ditch to give some of the neighbors
some water and Mr.. Ward asked me
To put n cap over the mouth of the
flume and Glover tore 1t off. Glover
closed the ditch and took most of the
water and blocked the main ditch, west
and north He went over ta his place
and plugged up the headgate ana
would not let water SO through to
people below who wanted II. l went
over aad loosened up the ditch. MY
duty was To go over it and see If every
body was getting his share of the wa
ter While | was opening this ditch
Mr. Glover was so yards from me and
when raised the planks he said some
thing. but the water was making too
much noise and | could not hear. He
came straight toward me and had Il
shovel in his hand as If to strike. When
he got up close | told him the water
was not doing anybody any good. He
spoke and gave me to understand that
he was going to have the water. When
he stepped on the headgate | stepped
off on the opposite side. He was com-
ing toward me with his shovel and l
struck him. 10 keep him off and TO
defend myself. When | struck him
he fell in the water and | picked him
up and laid him on the bank and hnr-
ried over to the house and called my
brother and teiephoned to DIR. Owens"
Brought to Missoula.
As soon as word was received in
Hamilton of the accident, DIR. Owens
hurried to the scene of the tragedy
and brought the injured man 10 town
in his automobile. placing him on the
train here and taking him to Missoula
for treatment. Sheriff Ward got rig
and drove out to the ranch at once.
He met Bradley, however, on the road.
Bradley calling tn him as he went
past, saying. Here | am. WILL" The
sheriff at once informed the man that
he was under arrest, but Sd great
VAS his confidence in him that he did
not bring him To town. but left him in
charge Of a man in the cove.
Later on In the day, however, Brad
lev came to town and was given pre-
iiminary hearing. He was at once re-
leased on bonds of $4,000. Sid Ward
and George w Ward going on his
bond for the amount.
In Hamilton public sympathy is all
with Bradley. Everyone with whom
he is acquainted speaks most highly
Of him and he is generally known In
the city as a clean. public spirited
man.
One of his principal defenders here
is George w Ward. his employer. Il
have never known a cleaner or more
temperate man than Aud Bradley"
he said today. He does not drink or
even smoke. and I have never even
heard him utter the miidest oath. He
is a man who is as little capable Of
murder as anyone | know"
Sheriff Ward Was also very much
