rays in a dispatch that NJ. Milovanovich,
the foreign minister told him today that

Russian minister here has had two long

OVER TARIFF BILL
Few Set Speeches on the Measure Are
Anticipated.
PAYNE AND CLARK TO LEAD OFF
Real Fight over ID Expected to Come
Up when Turn Comes 10 Ofrer
Amendments. and Limit
May Ne Put on This.

WASHINGTON, M6rch H.-The house Of
representatives will this week begin the
serious consideration of the business for
which the extra session of congress was
called, the revision of the tariff.
The Payne bill, which has only been read
In the house. will tomorrow be laid before
that body for discussion, and Chairman
Payne of the committee on ways and means
will make the first argument in support of
It. This will be the beginning OF the gem
eral debate on the bill, and It is expected
that this order will proceed for several
days
Mr.. Clark, the minority leader, will follow
Mr Payne with the first speech In opposi-
tion, and these two representative members
will in turn be followed by other members
OF their respective parties until all who
so desire shall have spoken.
So far Messrs. Underwood. Griggs and
Ransdell of the democratic side have given
notice that they desire to be heard, but no
such notice has been received from any re-
publican member. except Mr.. Payne.
Mr. Dalzell has frequently stated that he
would not make a set speech on the bill.
Limit on Debate.
II is not expected that the general dis
cusslon OF the measure will be prolonged,
and on this account Mr.. Payne thinks II
will be unnecessary to bring in a rule for
its limitation. Apparently he rs not so
hopeful regarding the consideration of the
bill for amendments. When this order Is
reached the provisions will be discussed in
speeches of not more than five minutes
duration, but there will be so many sug
gestions that unless limit is fixed the de-
bate could be extended indefinitely. So far
nothing has been SAID to the program
for this limitation, hut II is considered in
evitable 1t is the intention OF the demo-
Gratis to offer innumerable amendments,
and II is understood that many republicans
will also suggest changes In all proba-
bility, therefore, after the five-minute
speeches shall have continued for a reas-
enable length OF time an order will be In
troduced fixing a time for the final vote.
1t is not believed. however. that the voting
stage will be reached Within less time than
two weeks hence.
The senate will probably consider and
pass the census bill during the week. but
1t is not believed that the measure will be
discussed at any length,
The disposition in the senate is to accept
the bill as II passed the house. That meas
ure eliminated the noncompetitive feature
OF the bill. which was Objectionable tC

Argument Against Railroads.

The stage fare from Huntsville to

$1.50. This stage carried the mail
and it had to go. When the roads
were so muddy horses could not pull
the stage a double yoke of oxen took
their places. 1t was slow travelling,
but they got through. The steamboat
fare from Glasgow to St. Louis in the
early sos was 81. That included
stateroom and meals, and If the boat
was held up a week or two on a sand
bar the accommodations went on
without extra charge. The steamboat
owners never believed the railroads
could successfully compete with them.

wouldn't be willing to travel 100 to

DOGS RACE 412 MILES IN 81 HOURS.

Dash From Nome to Candle.

Seattle, Wash.-In the most Cruel
ling race Of dog teams Alaska ever
has known, the plucky malamutes,
owned by AL. Berger, carried off first
and second honors in the All-Alaska
sweepstakes for $1,000, and annexed
in addition the, Suter Gold Cup. The
lance of ALP miles, and much of 1t
was run under conditions as put the
animals to a bitter test Of strength
and endurance.
No American Derby ever enlisted
in the United States a keener pop
ular interest than this flight of dogs
across the stretch of country between
the starting and finishing points.
From the time the racers were sent

%standstill.

animals would cor a victory. One
wager of $4,000 was made that the
ace would not be finished within
ninety hours. This bet was lost, the
time of the winners being eighty-two

"Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious
attacks In which the stomach is so de-

it would save many lives that are

WAR ON RECKLESS DRIVERS OF AUTOMOBILES
Judge in BIS Charge to the Grand Jurors Expresses a Belief That the "ScMch.
es" and "0y Riders" Have Found a New Method of Com
mitfnq the Old Crime Of M~aDSlau0hter.

"a new method of committing old
crimes" He said:
Within the last month many
crimes have been committed by men
possessed of the speed mania. They
run down women and children on our
streets. Women and children and
the in1rm and the aged are entitled
to the use of the streets as much as
the strong. No man has an exclusive
right to the streets. Even the man
who devotes his time to speeding this
modern engine has no more right to
the public street than the weak and
infirm.
Men who do these acts recklessly
and without regard to the rights of
others, and who either MAIN or kill,
are guilty of either manslaughter or
other grades of crime, and it seems
to me that it would be a proper and
fitting thing that, If such a cas- comes
before you, you should not hesitate
to indict If the evidence warrants it;
and that you should not hesitate to
indict for the crime of manslaughter
If you think that that crime has been
committed.
This is just about the time, it

this county to call a halt on such ex-
IRENE selfishness as is evidenced by
those possessed by the abominable
speed mania.
"It is further provided by Section
20 of the penal laws that a man who
aids and abets in the commission of
crime is equally guilty with the man
who commits the crime. The owner
of an automobile will sometimes take
deliberately a chauffeur who has
been known to be reckless in his
driving. The minute that the wne
Of the automobile puts such a chauf-
feur upon his machine in the public
streets the law presumes that the
owner knows the ordinary act that
the chauffeur is going to commit. A
man is presumed to intend the ordi-
nary and usual results of his own
acts, and the owner who puts a reck-
less chauffeur in IN automobile and
sends him through the streets could
be properly found by you to be equal
ly guilty with the chauffeur of the
crime, whatever it may be, that may
reasonably be expected to be COM
mitted by that chauffeur"

New York City.-There is no mis-
take about it this time; public indig-
nation against the "scorcher" and
the "joy rider" is thoroughly aroused
and they are going to be vigorously
dealt with.
The newly formed Highways Pro-
tective Association and the AutomO-
bile Club of America, representing
sane and responsible owners and
drivers Of automobiles, are prepared
to aid in prosecuting offenders. They
are resolved to demand in1iction of
the severest penalties, and the magis-
trates and judges seem to be i'm
pressed with the necessity for vigor-
u action.
So much for the offenders when
caught, and the arrangements for
catching them are more widespread
and complete than eve before. AS a
result of the organization of the spe-
cial squad of policemen mounted on
bicycles, motor wheels and some in
automobiles scores of offenders are
being arraigned before the magis-
trates and in the courts.
Owners of automobiles are warned
in the address by Judge Swami to the
Grand Jury in the General Sessions,
telling them that the owner Of a car
who employs a driver known to be
reckless should be found equally
guilty with the latter for any crime
committed through carelessness or
ov~erspeeding. In short, there is a
general awakening to the demands of
the situation and to the serious re-
sponsibility that rests upon those who
drive automobiles, more particularly
through a city's streets.
Where the driver instead of stop
ping and caring for an injured per-
son claps on speed and runs away the
presumption is that he is guilty, and
by making sharp discrimination on
these lines this heartless practice can
be stopped.
The community in general and the
prudent and responsible owners of
automobiles, who are taking an active
part in the present crusade, are to be
congratulated upon the prospect of a
successful issue.
Judge Swami in his charge to the
April Grand Jurors in Part I. of Gen.
eral Sessions expressed his opinion of

Kindness of Animals.

Immediately in front of my house
is a small paddock, in which there
have been feeding a pony and four
COWS, says a writer in Country Life.
In a tiny clump of grass and butter
cups there is a willow wren's nest
hlled with young. Though all the
grass around is closely cropped, this
little clump remains absolutely un-
touched. Am l wrong in believing
that birds have some system of COM
municating their whereabouts, and
that the larger animals show consid-
Grafton and care for the weak and
helpless we, too often, despise and set
at naught?
