CHANGES UNDER NEW BILL
Chairman Payne Makes Summary Of
Increases and Decreases.
TABLE BASED ON MPoRTATIoNs
Shows Increases on Imports Valued
at Ss62,OOO, 900 and Decreases on
S4,87s,OOO,OOO of ImpOrta-
tions-ScheduIe Changes.

WASHINGTON, July 9O--Mr Payne's
statement comprised an analysis of the
new tariff bill, showing both increases and
decreases and the detailed presentation
was preceded by general summary in
which he undertook to show the extent of
revenue increases and decreases according
to schedules.
According to this showing the total in
creases were on consumption value of i'm
portations valued at 1862, ,512, ,525, and the
total decreases on importations amounting
to $4,97S, ,122,124.
In this preliminary statement Mr. Payne
said that he had had made an investigation
based on the census returns OF 1905, show
ing the amount of domestic consumption OF
articles upon which duties have been raised
and also the articles upon which duties
have been lowered by the bill as finally
reported from the conference committee.
This had been done because comparisons
have been based upon the amount Of i'm
portations, he said.
Duties" he said, have been lowered
where they were too high under the present
law, sometimes prohibitive in character,
and for that reason the importations were
comparatively small. On the other hand,
they have been raised in some instances
where the tariff was insufficient for pro-
teotion and the importations were very
great"
Table of Increases and Decreases.
He then gave the following table, which
shows the consumption value of articles
on which rates of duty have been increased
and decreased in all cases where the
amount of protection could be ascertained'

bury the dead OF these skirmishes in the

bodies. 1t was impossible for Mr.. Paru.e-

Sheriff in p ursuit of Those Who
Forcibly Took Ballots and Es-
capped to the Mountains.

jackson, Ky.-Breathitt county, the
seat of a feud which has been promi-
nent feature of the political history for
many years past, is in the throes of a
campaign which threatens to result in
serious trouble. A full set of county
officers is to be elected, and feeling has
been at fever heat for several weeks
past. This eliminated in the seizure
of the stock of official ballots by body
of armed men, who forcibly took them
from local bank, where they had been
deposited for safekeeping, and made off
with them to a small hamlet in an al
most inaccessible part of the county.
Sheriff Crawford, armed with war.
rants for the arrest of S. II. Hurst,
county clerk, and William Sebastian,

men and ballots. The sheriff says that
when he and his posse approached the
house in which the ballots are alleged
to be held they were covered with sixty
guns in the hands of men who had been
in the party which made the raid on
the ballots in the bank here, and the
sheriff and his men returned to Jack

BISHOP CHANDLER DENoUNcEs
RocKEFELLER'S GIFT.
South Does Not Need Outside Aid to
Purge Their Brains Of Ignorance
and Bowels Of Worms.

Atlanta, Ga.7John d. Rockefeller's
gift of 100000 to fight the hook
worm in the South, has stirred the ire
of Bishop Warren Gambler of the South
ern Methodist Church, who denounces the
oil magnate's action as an insult to this
section. Bishop Gambler says:
at is to be hoped that our people will
not be taken by Mr.. Rockefeller's vermi-
fuge fund and hookworm commission.
This habit of singing out the South for
all sorts of reforms, remedies and en-
lightenments is not for our benefit, and
the too ready acceptance of these things
on the part of some of our people is not
to our credit. Mr.. Rockefeller would
take charge of both our heads and our
stomachs and purge our brains of ignor-
ance and our bowels of worms.
"Rockefeller's gift follows a campaign
in sensational magazines to picture the
South as cursed by pellagra and hook
worms. With a million of money and a
sensational press engaged in portraying
our section of the union as accursed, we
wonder what other SANDER is to be cul.
minated against it.
Donations may easily, as dum-dum
bullets, wound where they hit and leave
a mortal poison in the hole they make
after being received. The South can
get rid of its alleged worms without
Rockefellers million dollar dose of vermi-
fuge,"
