GLIDDEN CARS IN
 MERRY CHASE

Julesburg, Col, July 2S.-There was a little of spice of life in the Glidden tour this afternoon when the brawny sherin of Ogalalla county thought the Jewel car No. was going too fast. The sheriff entered local automobile at Kearney Neb.. and for 20 miles over the sand hills of Nebraska there was a race that made the prairie dogs flee in terror.
 At the end of the 20-mile chase the Jewel car banged into the rear of rival Gliddenite and the sheriff triumphed. He was appeased however. when the char acter of the speeding was made known to him.
 None of the clean score cars were pen alized, but the Gidden, Moline and Jewel received additional penalizatfons. The run tomorrow brings the party to Denver, and will cover 204.s miles, with a running schedule of 10l4 hours for Class A cars.

 any friction 1t was smoothed over before the conference adjourned. All of the mem- bers came out of the chamber smiling.
 There was some disappointment when n was learned the House had adjourned un- til Tuesday, as that action makes 1t im- possible for the conferees to make a re- port before Tuesday. Representative Dwight of New York. republican whip. will be held responsible if there Is any delay Answering some criticisms to- day, MT. Dwight said he had understood that if all the disputed points in the bill are adjusted, two or three days will be required for the clerks to make up the conference report and the statements of the chairmen of the House committees. This is an error. 1t was stated tonight. as the clerks are keeping up with the conference committee and will be ready with the reports soon after all matters of controversy are closed.
 Insurgents Meet.
 The anti-free raw material insurgents" of the House met today. There were only 27 members present, and although sev- eral speeches were mdae, no resolutions Of protest were adopted.
 The cotton schedule was considered at the forenoon session of the conference to- day While this schedule was not dis posed of, the conferees are practically in agreement to adopt the Senate increases on mercerized cottons, but to reduce number of the Senate rates on lower grades. It is said that most of the spe- ciho duties which were adopted in lieu of the existing ad valorems for the pur- pose of preventing undervaiuations. will be accepted.
 It was announced today that the in- creased rates of internal revenue tax on tobacco, which were adopted by the Sem ate at the instance of Senator Beverdge will be accepted. It was reported yes terday that these amendments would be eliminated from the bill and Senator Bev- eridge protested with good result to Pres- ident Taft and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh.
 The conferees today accepted a Senate amendment, imposing duty of 4 per cent ad valorem on structural steel punched for use. In determining this rate the~House members had their first roll call of the conference. This method of disposing of the question was regarded as significant. in view of the statement by Representative Payne that he would not be governed merely by the will of a ma jority of the republican conferees of the House. As MT. Payne voted with the ma jority, in favor of the Senate increase however, no issue was raised.

GALLONS CHEATED
 FOR THIRD TIME

Tallahassee, Fla, July 23.-On the eve of the day set for his execution and after the governor had refused to interfere, R. H. Owens for the third time cheated the hangman today. This time he owes his good luck to an appeal to the supreme court for a writ of errors. This acted as a stay of execution. according to the gov ernor, who telegraphed the sheriff not to execute the death warrant at Gainesville today.
 Three times the date for Owens exc cution has been fixed. Once he escaped by an appeal; again the governor reprieved him until aliensts could determine his sanity, which they did.
 Feeling at Gainesville, according to messages from that place. runs high, and threats of 1ynching are freely made. Owens killed two men the same day, but was tried and convicted on one charge only.

PROTEST MADE ON
 FREE IRON ORE
TELEGRAM SENT TO PRESIDENT TAFT IS SIGNED BY MANY OF BlRMiNGHAM'S MOST PRoMl- NEWT CITIZENS.

The following telegram was sent to Pres ident Taft yesterday. voicing the opposl- ton of Birmingham to the proposed policy of putting Iron ore on the free list; The President the White House, Wash ington, D. c.
 Protection on iron and iron ore made possible investment of hundred million dollars in iron industry in Alabama. Free iron ore would not only seriously leopard ize this investment already made, but would prevent further investment now in sight. Our ores are low grade, and owing to our geographical position, entailing heaviest freight rates in the country, we could not compete with manufacturers situated on seaboard and using foreign ores mined with cheap labor and carrying low ocean freights. This district feels that 1t must have duty on ore.
