Lithuanian. fell from the top Of a
fight of stairs at 920 South Second

show that the death was caused by
an accident.
It was stated that Baltunas was
about 35 or 20 years of age. He had q
wife and two children in the old coun-
try and had been in this country about
eighteen years. The past two years he

NEW TARIFF MYSTERY.
Canada Takes Advantage of Discovery
That Cream Is On Free List.

That Cream is On Free List.
Washington, Oct. 23.-An altogether
new mystery of the revised tariff-one
deeper and darker than all the otllers
has appeared in the official heavens
and attracted much notice because of
the startling effect it produced in the
neighborhood of all representatives of
the federal government, particularly
the members of congress. The mystery
has to do with the milk and butter
solution, it is held, will go a long way
toward determining just who SKINS the
cream from the Aldrich statute.
The Canadians, who easily are the
champion discoverers of the beauties
of the Aldrich act, have found that the
revised tariff practically puts cream on
the free list, and as a result tidal
wave of cream Is yelling up over the
northern boundary and threatening to
engulf the dairy interests of this coun-
try.
Whether 1t actually was intended to
reduce the rate on cream or whether a
clerical error was made in the schedule
is the question on which official Wash
ington is doing some ground and lofty
guessing To some cynical persons
the cold, clammy suspicion has occurred
that the duty on one OF the necessities
Of life actually was reduced by the
trainers OF the new law and reduced
right at the beginning Of the negotia-
tions at that. Inasmuch as the cream
is being used almost exclusively in the
manufacture Of butter, some radiant
visions have been entertained Of an

sity in the northern states at least,

Chicago, Oct 23.-One Chicago So
ciety woman has been redeemed from
the clutches of the drink habit by the
Gypsy Smith mission.
The Romany evangelist received in
his mail at the Congress Hotel yester-
day note written in a delicate fem
inine hand and upon scented paper.
1t contained brief pledge of renun-
for the making was given at one Of
the meetings in the Seventh Regiment
armory.
Night after night Gypsy Smith has
read eAe rpts from messages received.
Most Of them have struck in dominant
fashion the note of pathos and have
had marked effect as the great audi
ences listened. Last night there was
a peculiar choking in the preachers
throat as he read, and tears filled the
eyes of many within the sound of his
voice. He held the little note high in
the glare of the electric arc.
II went to your meeting the other

that it has made new woman of me
Drink has been my curse, but by the
help of the Savior of whom you preach
ed I'll never touch 1t again" :.
Pray for the Woman.
Pray for her." said the evangelist
"Shell have a hard fight.
Many Chicagoans fail in an effort
TO be good Christians because they
reach for the cross with one hand and
hang on to the DEVILS hind foot with
the other"
This is what Gypsy" Smith told
his hearers last night. His sermon was
directed chiefly toward those who
were attempting to follow paths of
Righteousness and who found the way
obstructed thru faults of their own,
He read a letter suggesting the line
Of thought.
Here's a fellow write. to me that he

calls himself a christian, and that he
takes communion, but that he has had
secret sin in his heart all the years
he has been doing those things" he
said

gelist continued, "if you are within

Pleads for Waterw.xs.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Oct. 23-Reiter-
ating his position as an enthusiastic
advocate of deep water ways and de-
claring that the piecemeal procession
by jerks" policy of congress in the past
with reference to such Improvement
should be replaced with a definite
general plan for opening up the great
avenues of commerce., President Taft
aroused the delegates to the convention
of the Inland Water Water League, in
session here. to an enthusiastic DEM
onstration of approval.
Continuing, the president said that in
addition to extending commerce, deep
inland water ways would serve as the
best means to control railroad rates. In
the meantime, however, he urged the
amendment of the interstate commerce
laws to make their provisions more ef-
fective. Mr.. Taft added that he did not
favor radical legislation; that his pur-
pose merely was to keep railroad COM
panies within the bounds Of law and
down to reasonable rates. He said the
railroads should be encouraged.
In this connection he took occasion
to refer to the fact that in some To-
calities there is a disposition to do in
justice to the railroads and to drive
the corporations to system of econo-
my which prevents the development OF
the country thru which they pass. The
president said it was the case thattthe
citizens of a county would 90 to ny
extent to get railroad to come into
the county, but once there, not friend
of the railroad could anywhere be
found, except perhaps the local coun-
sci. The remarks brought hearty laugh

The president turned serious again

roads. that they might not be deprived
of reasonable profits thru popular pre-
judice. He declared that the haltins
