VESSELS UNABLE TO MAKE
MOBILE PORT IN TEMPEST

MOBILE, Ala, July 21.-The Nor
wegian fruit streamer Karen, which ar
rived here today, reported that last
night the weather was so heavy on the
bar and seas running so high that they
had to put back to sea for several
hours. Officers say the gale was the
worst in years over the Gulf. The
steamer Royal Exchange is delayed
outside the bar.
Capt. Knudson of the freighter Fort
Gaines, arriving from Bocas, reports
exceedingly bad weather. He reports
sighting several vessels fighting the
storm and unable to make port.

West Fights Over Hides

Taking the position that hides are as
much entitled to protection as most OF
the manufactured articles, Mr.. Carter
says that, If they are to be put on
the free list, other articles of the same
character, such as wool, are liable to
be next attacked in the same way.
There was much comforting today
among the duty advocates and some
of them declared that if no other pro-
lection should be left them they would
cast their votes against the acceptance
of any conference report which did not
look to the protection of hides.
Mr. Payne was the last member of
the conference committee to leave the
chamber. His associates of the house
committee left in a body, followed
closely by Senator Aldrich and the
other senate members.
Mr.. Aldrich paced the corridor of his
private rooms, where he was engaged
in a discussion of hides with Senator
mer was informed that the senate rate
on hides would have to be substan-
TALLY reduced, perhaps cut in half.
When Senator Aldrich concluded with
Mr.. Lorimer he undertook to convince
Mr.. Piles, who had been waiting III
an adjoining room, that there must be
some decrease in the senate rates on
lumber
Iron ore, coal, lumber, oil and hides
were taken up, but there was no at
tempt to fix rates.
The discussion was informal. The
conferees would not undertake to say
what sort of report they would make.

ARREST MAN AND
LOCATE PLUNDER
GENTLEMANLY NEIGHB0R IS
ACCUSED OF CRIMES
Police Take Into Custody Young
Fellow Who Is Alleged to
Have Led Double Life
for Weeks

George Thompson, a well-dressed and
well-appearlng young man, was ar
rested Tuesday morning at his home
at S95 East Fortieth street by De-
tectives Home, Ingram and Chapman
and placed in central station on a
charge of burglary.
1t is alleged the man has stolen,
within the past month, more than
$4,000 in jewelry, money and diamonds
and to have disposed of the greater
amount of this property through sec
ond hand dealers and buyers Of old
gold and silver.
Thompson, who Is also known as l..
G. Parker, lived with his wife and two
young children in a pretty bungalow
house at the Fortieth street address
and there was no one in the neighbor-
hood who suspected him. He repre-
sented himself to be a young easter
ner here for his health and looking
for an opportunity to enter into bus-
ness. He was correct in his habits, al
ways at home In the evenings except
when out with his wife or visiting the
neighbors or entertaining them at his
home, and was looked upon as a de-
lightful acquisition to the neighbor-
hood.
The police say Thompson committed
the thefts during the day and give
long list of robberies he is alleged to
have committed all of which occurred
in daylight.
Find Hidden Loot
Yesterday at the Fortieth-street
home the police made thorough
search of the premises and found hid
den in the cellar, buried in the back
yard. slowed away in the top of the
barn and in various other places, a
lot of jewelry, watches and other prop
erty which had been stolen from Vari
Gus owners. Thompson is alleged to
have been guilty of robbing the fol-
lowing homes: r.. L. Gunner 851 West

Hosiery Compromise Proposed
The compromise on hosiery which in
creased the Dingley rates on cheap
stockings and leaves the existing rates
on high grades, was proposed by the
manufacturers and it is understood
only requires the approval of Repre-
sentative Payne to be adopted.
The glove compromise also has been
offered by the domestic manufacturers.
1t provides for entry free of duty on
the Schmaschen gloves, which are the
cheapest, but proposes to prevent fraud
by providing that the gloves to be
admitted free shall be made of the
skins of still-born lambs.
The probability of free hides is arous-
ing the western senators, and there is
a distinct movement in opposition.
Senator Carter of Montana is especially
active against hides being placed on
the free list, and is doing a great deal
to enlist the aid of other senators. The
situation, as he sees it, is not only a
menace to the cattle industry, but in
wolves a principle which the west can
not afford to concede.
