DEFENDS UPON ALDRICH.
Taft Realizes That Reorganization"
Dominates Tariff Work of Senate.
washington dispatch to New York Tribunel

Washington dispatch to New YORK tribune
The tariff debate has now made sufflcieni
progress to demonstrate the complete chaos
which would have reigned in the Senate
had the republican organization. headed
by Senator Aldrich, been overthrown, and
events have answered the Oft repeated
question: s.Why does not President Taft
exert his powerful influence to disrupt the
republican organization and destroy the
power of the .Aldrich elique@n
President Taft is firm advocate Of re-
vision OF the tariff downward, but he real
ICES the necessity of dealing with this
great question through the organization,
and be has all along appreciated the
menace, not only to the tariff bill and 20
the party, but also to the business inter-
ests of the country, which the overthrow
of the organization in the Senate would
constitute.
The inconsistency of a majority COM
posed of the progressive" republicans
and the democrats has been manifested in
numerous instances, but in none more so
than in the case of iron ore. Years ago
there was a strong demand for revision OF
the steel schedule, so strong that in 1902
the late Representative Babcoek, OF Wis
consin, introduced bill in the House put
ting ore on the fres list and greatly re-
ducing the tariff on steel and manufsc-
lures thereof.
The President has all slong advocated
free iron ore, and the House bill makes it
free. The finance committee made the
duty twenty-five cents ton. 1t was sup
posed that, OF course, the democrats would
join with the progressive" republicans to
defeat the committees amendment, but.
on the contrary, majority of the minority
voted for the duty of twenty-five cents,
and, judging by their expressions, would
have imposed an even higher duty had
they been Id control of the situation.
Ia word, ii has become obvious that
were tbs organization in the Senate over
thrown The majority, composed of demo
Gratis for the most part, with few ''pro-
gressivesn, would play ducks and brakes
with the tariff bill, that they would main
tain or even increase the duties on those
products in which they are interested.
while they mercilassiy cut the tariff on the
products of certain eastern states.
IN the estimation OF the President they
would maze thoroughly Inconsistent
tariff biz, which the House would refuse
absolutely to accept, and the result would
be a session prolonged throughout the
summer. an ultimate result which would
satisfy no one.

KErrH's THEATRE, BOSTON.

The daring of Mr.. Keith in presenting
Vesta Tiitey, the three thousand dollar-a
week star. and the vaudeville bills in keep
ing. for summer attraction, was fully
justified after all, for there has not been in
Boston during the past season such record
brea king houses all week. For the past week
Miss Tiiley has created more talk than
there has been in Boston in many years over
one artist. IT Miss Tilley were not on the
bill, the Great Lester, the ventriloquist
from the West, would be sufficient attrac-
tion TO draw crowded houses. Lester has
only one dummy, but it is one that will be
remembered. An exceptionally good mu-
steal act will be that OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred

ter's Illness Started Him.

CHICAGO, April 18.-As formal real
estate transfer just made in the routine
of the county recorders Office reveals

Four years ago he left Chicago with

ment building.
The hero Of this fairy tale Of finance
and religion is the Rev. Richard A.
Morley, a Methodist minister, who
was stationed for several years in Chi
cago and Oak Park churches. The story
transpired in the purchase by the minis
ter of an apartment hotel.
In 1904 Mr.. Morley, In an effort to save
his daughter from tuberculosis exchanged
pulpits with minister Of Las Vegas, N.
NJ. Shortly afterward he purchased a
ranch nearby at tax SALE. This was

owner Of q tract now worth $4,000
Branching out further, he purchased q
1,OOO-acre farm. near Kansas City. one
in Wisconsin and two farms in Illinois.
All this time he has never missed a
Sunday in his pulpit nor a Wednesday

removed to the west, she says, he did not
dream Of entering into business trar,s-
