the United States tariff rates as favor
able as those given any other nation" rs
Regarding the miscellaneous provisions
of the bill, Mr.. Payne states:
Free Trade With Colonies
1.-THE bill provides for reciprocal froe
trade with the Philippine islands on all
articles, but limiting the sugar to be i'm
ported free of duty to 300, 900 tons; wrap
per tobacco to 100000 pounds and 3,0O0,OO0
pounds of filled tobacco, and 10000, 0Oe
cigars i'm any one fiscal year. The ex-
cess of sugar, tobacco and cigars TO pay
full tariff rates. This exemption from
duty is confined to the growth or products
of the islands, however, and does not
admit articles imported into the Philip
pine islands from a foreign country with
out payment of full rates of duty on
such importations."
A section is inserted preserving the Gu
ban reciprocity provisions of the present
law. De-
provision is made to terminate the
various commercial agreements with for
eign countries, according to the terms of
said agreements by notice, and in the
meantime, keeping faith in these agree
ments. The provisions of section 4. apply
ing the minimum and maximum rates
will take the place of these sections.
''rhe estimated revenue under the tar
if duties prescribed in the bill amount
to about $500, Co., 900.
1.-The bill provides for a tax on trans
fers of property, both real and personal.
by inheritance or succession and by will.
1t is believed that this provision, when
in full operation, will bring in a revenue
of twenty million dollars, though no
accurate estimates can be made.
The tax on cigarettes is increased,
those weighing over three pounds per
thousand from So to $360. and those
weighing less. from 81 to $3.50.
To Meet Court Decisions
'"The committee has examined thor
oughly all the decisions of the courts.
and of the general appraisers for the
last fifteen years interpreting the mean
ing of the language of the tariff laws.
and has framed the language Of the va
rious paragraphs TO meet these decisions.
1t is hoped that it will prevent such liti-
CATION, and will in the future give the
courts a clear understanding of the in
tention Of congress.
1.-The bill contains carefully prepared
section (section 29). extending the privil-
edges of drawback on material imported
on which tariff has been paid and the
products Of which are manufactured in
this country when exported. Tt IS believ
ed that this section carefully guards the
revenue, and at the same time liberalize5
the provision. and will stimulate our ex-
port trade 1t is provided that the bill
shall go into effect the day following its
enactment"

SENATE "INSURGENTS"
GET COMMITTEE JOBS

WASHINGTON. March 16.-The compo-
sition of the senate committee on COM
mittees as announced by Senator Hale,
chairman of the Republican caucus OF
the senate, is generally accepted as indi-
eating a distinct purpose to conciliate the
youngsters" Of the senate, as the band
of erstwhile insurgents and their sympa-
thizers are called.

Crane, of the ''old guard" form but q

il is realized that in this membership,
there is enough conservative sentiment
to prevent any domination on the part
of radicals should an effort have been
made by them to do so.
The fact that the far west predomi-
mates in the committee is also noticeable

HUSBAND AND WIFE
BEATEN ALMOST TO
Death BY BURGLRA

Armed with a heavy, jagged club, a
masked burglar climbed into the room of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Whites, at Al Bell
street, about u O'Clock Tuesday night,
and having beaten them into insensibility,
made his escape with $50. ...
The husband and wife were found a few
moments later, lying silent and motionless
on their blood-soaked bed. On the floor
nearby was a bludgeon of rough scant-
ling, four feet long and two inches thick.
Rusty nails stuck forth from its lower
end and they were spattered with warm
blood Blood trickled from the pillows
and lay i'm bright red pools on the mat
ting.
In the midst of the scarlet horror stood
a little girl, trembling and crying, in her
white night clothes She was the 12-year-
old daughter of the WhittIes. Tene is her
name.
She was awakened at midnight by
sound of duh blows and groans Spring
ing from her bed, which stood directly
under a window and opposite that of her
parents, she saw a shadowy form bend
ing over her father his arms drawn back
in the act of striking. She saw that he
wore something black over his face. She
knew that something terrible was hap
pening.
Then she cried out with all{her strength
and rushing into the hallway banged at
the door of Samuel Stein5 one Of the
dodgers in the house. n- -~
They're killing father and mother in
here" sobbed the child. - -
In a blink, Stein dashed from his room,
at the same time calling to- Nathan Ba-
bad in the apartment next to him, and

together they burst into the plood-smear-
ed chamber, followed by the girl
"Be careful" whispered Ballad. drawing
back a pace, "he may still be in here
and shoot u.s.
A Sickening Sight
But there was no need for the caution.
The assailant had fed. Some one struck
a match and lighted an oil lamp that sat
on the mantel. Its first yellow CLEAN
disclosed a sickening sight. On the side
of the bed next the wall lay Mrs. Whit
ties. A red splotch was all that could
be seen of her right eye and the back
of her head showed even through its mass
of hair that 1t had been beaten in and
crushed. BY her side lay her husband,
his whole face torn and bleeding from

the nails in the end of the club. Both
faces were as white as the sheets except
where ugly, purple bruises stood out or
blood had clotted. The man moaned
family now and then but his wife was as
silent as if she had been dead.
The group of onlookers shuddered and
fell back in panic of fear. Leopold Lif-
shis, another inmate of the house who
had been aroused by the commotion, hur-
ried in, gazed upon his fellows. all of
them clad in their night clothes. and then
darted to the telephone He first sum-
moned an ambulance from Grady hospi-

Payne Explains Bill

The following explanation of the form
of the bill was made by Mr.. Payne;
THE new tariff bill is a minimum and
maximum tariff bill. The minimum rates
Of duty are contained in the first section
and the free list for the minimum rates
is in the second section Of the bill. The
third section contains the maximum rates
which are generally equal to the mimi
mum rates and 20 per cent in addition
thereto and the articles on the free list,
in the transfer to the third section, bear
a duty of 20 per centum ad valorem as
maximum rate.
1.-THE maximum rates does not go into
effect in any event until sixty days aftel
the passage of the act. BY the fourth
section the minimum rates are applied to
all good terms by way of tariff as thai
given to any other nation, and the max
imum rates are applied to those coun=
tries which discriminate against the
trade of the United States or fail to give

ROOSEVELT FOR
GOTHAM MAYOR
GENERAL STEWART L. WOOD
FORD LAUNCHES BOOM, DE-
CLARING THIS OFFICE is SEC.
OND ONLY TO PRESIDENCY.

New York, May 11.-General Stew
in 1898, chief Hughes boomer at the
last republican convention while a
delegate at large from New York, and
one of the leading republicans of the
United States, has launched a boom
for the election of former President
Roosevelt next fall to be mayor of
New York
The general returned from Europe
a week ago on the Hamburg, the
same steamer on which Roosevelt
went to Naples and has sounded the
first note to have Colonel Roosevelt
made the regular republican nominee
in the municipal campaign. He admits
he does this without having consulted
Roosevelt. but he calls attention to
the fact that the mayoralty of New
York is second only in Importance to
the presidency of the United States
and declares that the former presi-
dent is too big a man to refuse a call
to duty.
The only requisite for election,
General Woodford says, is that the
colonel shall return to the United
States before election day and declare
that he is a resident of the city and
not of Oyster Bay.
This, General Woodford thinks, he
would do if the exigencics were ex-
planned to him.

Burton Tells Why BOssism Prevails

Regarding the bOssism of cities,
United States Senator Theodore Bur-

mo boss could hold sway for a
year without the cooperation of a
large proportion of citizens Or with
out the cooperation of large business
or other interests which desire to
avoid the completely of dealing with
boards of aldermen, legislative bodies
and executives. 1t is their great
wish to deal with single individuals
who dictate the action of the differ
ent agencies of the government. In
return, these supporters of the bosses
are willing to give great largesses in
the way of campaign contributions
and bring to the support of any party
large numbers of voters
The crying evil in our times is in

HAS DRAMAT|zED
THE SENATE
WILL PUT Ma
TIONAL LEGISLATIVE METH
DDS IN 4 PLAY IN NEAR FL
TCRE.

Washington, May 1.-THE muck
rake has been dramatized. The Unit
ed States senate is to be put before
the footlights. Reform and some of
the things that Roosevelt has SYM
bolized have been mixed up with
human elements and particularly
good love story and it has all been
made into a play-by one who has
gained a reputation already as a
professional muckraker - Henry
Needham of peoples lobby fame.
Mr.. Needham's political drama,
Senator West" is the play with
which Roosevelts name was identi-
fled last winter, so much so that the
rumor went abroad that the presi-
dent was writing play. 1t deals with
political conditions in Washington
and at the capital of middle west
ern state Congressman Victor Muir
dock. the leader of the insurgents in
the house of representatives, said of
it. cit has the whole alphabet of poll
tics with the love note dominant.
The play has been read by many
prominent men in Washington, in
Guiding ex-President Roosevelt, Post
master General Hitchcock, Senator
IBeveridge and Senator La Toilette.
On learning that Mr. Needham had
placed his play, William Loeb, Jr.,
collector of the port of New York,
and formerly secretary to President
Roosevelt, said: 81 am delighted to
hear that Mr. Needham has placed his
play so auspiciously and l know that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be glad to hear it.
as he was intensely interested in the
sincere message which Mr.. Needham
is sending the country in his drama.
We have had great many Washing
ton plays. but I know that Mr.. Roose-
Welt believes this to be real politics.
Senator La Toilette recently read
the play aloud to some friends who
were dining at his home, and i'm
mediately wrote Mr. Needham: 1--WE
were all intensely interested in Its
vivid and dramatically unique pres
entation of a true and compelling
story. You have in the political
theme of your play made a graphic,
dramatic cosmos of many of the exist
ing political conditions, and the play
will. / think, make strong appeal to
audiences in various parts of the
country. 1t combines so many ele-
ments within the personal experience
of people in both the large cities and
the smaller districts. 1t is a play
with a message to those who choose
to hear it, but the strongly dramatic
story would hold those who have no
interest in politics.

play a first class production, with a

of the Pacific will not be threatened
in the near future
In his report, which is voluminous,
Admiral Sakamoto urges that the.
most friendly relations be established
with America and pays a glowing
tribute to the American navy. In re-
ferring to ex-President Roosevelt, he
attributes to him all the knightly
qualities of the Samurai AMI pro-
claims him one of the worlds great
est and truest men. The report of
the admiral has been anxiously await
ed for several months and the Opt
mistic tone which marks its every
sentence has created a profound i'm
preston.

GROUND ASSOCIATION OF

Pittsburg, May 1.-THE third an
nual meeting of the Playground Asso-
at Pittsburg. The feature of the
opening was the reading of the fol-
lowing letter to Association President
Luther Halsey Gulick from Presi-
dent Taft:
''The White House, Washington,
April 80, 1909.-My Dear Sir-I
greatly regret that I can not be with
you at your third annual congress at
Pittsburg from May 10 to ii of this
year, but I will write to express my
most sincere sympathy in the work
which your association is doing.
Il do not know anything which
will contribute more to the strength
and morality of that generation of
boys and girls compelled to remain a
part of urban population in this coun-
try, than the institution in their
cities of Fairgrounds where their
hours of leisure can be occupied by
rational and healthful exercises. The
advantage is two fold: In the first
place, idleness and confinement in a
narrow space in the city, in houses
IL n,,A
rooms is certain to sugges and bring
about pernicious occupation and
create bad habits Gambling, drink
ing and other forms of vice are pro-
noted in such restricted mode Of
life
I'm the second place, an oppor-
tunity for hard, earnest and joyous
play improves the health, developes
the muscles, expands the lungs and
teaches the moral lesson of attention,
self-restraint, courage and patient
effort.
Il think every city is under the
strongest obligation to its people to
furnish the children, from the time
they begin to walk until they reach
manhood, places within the city walls
large enough and laid out in proper
form for the playing of all sorts OF
games which are known to our boys
and girls and are liked by them.
II sincerely hope that your pres
ent convention may be success and
the work that you have begun may
go on until no city in this country
is without suitable Fairgrounds for
the children of those who, but for
such city assistance in this regard,
would be without them.
Sincerely yours,
