By JOHN sNURE.

President Taft picked up the dust

this morning and proceeded to
dicipline the conferees who have
been wangling for days over the
tariff bill.
He sent a communication to
the conference committee to the
effect that he would positively not
consent to more than SIPS on
lumber and to the Senate rates OF
gloves and hosiery, which are the
existing Dingley rates and are
lower than those proposed by the
House, which were raised as the
outcome of the indefatigable work

after o'clock last night, the bullet
going completely through his head.

letters and no intimatiOns Of the causes
that led up to the suicide.
