ALDRICH TAUNTS PROTECTION
DEMOCRATS.
Said Cotton Seed Oil MeR Wanted
Protection and Senator Tillman
Made Characteristic Reply.

In the United States Senate on
Wednesday cotton seed oil was the
subject OF a.. exchange OF opinion
between protectionist, Republicans
and tariff-for-revenue Democrats,
Taunting members of the minority
by stating that the cotton seed I'll
industry Of the South had appealed
to him for tariff protection, Senator
Aldrich suggested to Mr. Bacon THAI
if the Senator from Georgia and 9th
er Southern States should get to-
gether ia favor of placing that pro-
duct on the free list, as was the case
when the. bill passed the House Of
Representatives, he thought an
agreement to that effect might be
reached.
This suggestion had been called
forth by a statement by Mr.. Bacon,
who said if the 25 per cent ad
valorem levied on importations of
cotton seed oil did not produce an
income he thought it should 80 on
the free list.
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, protested against such action,
declaring that he was free to say
that he was not in favor of placing
cotton seed oil on the free list.
Stating that the importation of
cotton seed oil in 1908 was 202
gallons, worth sS1, and yielding a
revenue of sS.2S, Mr. Aldrich said
the tax on that article was "for pro-
lection, pure and simple
amy pretence," declared Mr.. Till
man, rising in his place and speak
ing in vigorous language, that there
is protection on cotton seed OIL
through such a duty is humbug.
Cotton seed oil producers do not
want any protection at all"
Mr.. Aldrich said he had been ap-
pealed to by such producers from
the South, and Mr.. Tillman retorted
that he did not represent such peo-
pie"
Mr.. Money joined in declaration
that the South did not want protec-
ton on cotton seed Oil.

CHOOSE DEATH
RATHER THAN GO TO A CELL IN
JAIL FOR CRIME.
The Noted DR.. Rosa Monnish Of At
lanta Kills Herself Rather Than
Serve Sentence.

SerVe sentence.
Preferring the chill Of the grave
to the chill of prison cell, and the
shroud to the garb of a convict, DR..
Rosa S. Monnish, of Atlanta, drank
prussic acid and died an hour after
she had been sentenced to serve two
years in the Federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kansas. Deputy Unit
ed States marshals, in whose charge
she had been placed, found her after
they had broken open the door to her
room.
Mrs. Monnish has been more or
less in the public eye in the South
for several years. She built sani-
tarium in the most aristocratic part
of Atlanta few years ago, despite
the efforts of neighbors to prevent
the opening of the place. Later her
methods came under the scrutiny of
the postofice inspectors, but it was
not until she had trouble with her
husband that the officers could get
evidence against her.
They charge her with sending i'm
proper and threatening letters to
young woman and secured her con-
viction. Her attorneys applied for
a new trial, and it was overruled
by Federal Judge Newman, who at
once sentenced DR.. Monnish to serve
one year and one day in prison, and
to pay fine of $1,000 on each Of
two counts.
Dr.. Monnish tainted when the SEN
tence was imposed, but recovered and
asked to go to her home. The Of
fcers consented, simply stipulating
that they lock her in her room and
on guard outside. While her
attorneys were preparing an appeal
bond she accompanied the officers in
a cab to her home, and went to her
room. About pm. the guards call
ed to her to come to luncheon. Re-
ceiving no reply, they forced the door
and found their aged prisoner dead
on her bed.
DR.. Monnish was sixty years of
age, and besides her husband, also
a physician, she leaves a daughter,
Jeanette, aged 13.

BLOW AT The SOUTH
BAGGING AND TIES TAXED BY
REPUBLICANS.
Senator'S Bailey and Aldrich Lock
Horns in Short Debate on
Tariff.

Horns in a Short Debate or
Tariff.
The consideration of the duty or
gas retors in the Senate Thursday
caused an oratorical explosion. The
committee On finance had increased
the rates on these articles from So
as provided in the house bill to 80
per cent ad valorem, the new duty
being on large retorts three times the
amount levied by the h"use bill and
the present law.
This course was denounced by Mr..
Bailey as evidence of failure on the
part Of the Republican party to keep
faith with the people in their de-
mand for revision of the tariff
downward
Mr. Bailey read from President
Taft's inaugural address to show that
he had favored lower duties and Mr..
Aldrich responded that the pending
bill proposed to fulfil that pledge abb
solute!y.
II have heard it said," added Mr..
Bailey, "that the present adnainistra-
ton aims as one Of its chief accom-
plishments to disrupt the solid South,
and it is endeavoring to accomplish
that result by fattering the weak
men among US in the South by con-
ceding to them an invitation to the
White House or by giving them a
portion Of the patronage OF the
country.
"The president wastes his time and
wastes mis- breath when he gives
heed to those men who tell him that
they can disrupt the South, he said
There is in the South today, as
there was before the war, a senti-
ment that is rot Democratic. In
the olden times they were Wings
and in this day they are Republi-
cans. But some of them are asham-
ed of their associates down there
Mr.. Bailey said he deprecated the
effort of the Republican party to
win the South by appealing to selfish
interests.
cat the same time," he said, "this
bill is full of sectional discrimina
tions. The farmers binding twine IS
placed on the free list, but in this
very same bill the bagging Of the
cotton planter is highly protected.
That costs the cotton planter Of the
South yearly more than S1,250,G00,
and that burden should be lifted
from his shoulders, even if every
factory of the cotton hagging trust
should be compelled to close. If you
want to find way to the hearts of
our people of the South, do not
treat them unjustly."
Senator McLaurin, declaring that
the duty on cotton ties is extortion
on the cotton farmers and is not
tariff for revenue, announced his in
tention Of offering an amendment to
place cotton ties on the free list.
Despite the contention Of so-called
experts, he said, the duty adds so
cents bale to the cost of bagging
and tying cotton, which he said is
a tax on the cotton farmer who re-
ceives no protection on his product.
