MIR. O'Shee.
Opelousas, La. April %, 1909.
Editor COiax Chronicle:
Some time since there appeared in
your paper communication Of ola te
March 20, 1909, from Mr.. Mr.. j. A.
O'Shee, wherein he publishes letter
purported to have been written by
him to ench member of the Board OF
Equalization, and to which be says
no answer was ever received.
Not having received any commune
cation from Mr.. O'Shee, l would have
passed unnoticed his communication
did it not by innuendo reflect on the
integrity of the board.
Mr.. O'Shee says: ALSO. please adj
wise me why the board made a stand
ing arrangement with Mr.. Cranslell,
who represents the NONRESIDENT spec
uIator holdings of more than 1O0,-
900 acres in this parish, and placed
said Al long leaf pine timber lands
at an average of $11.32 per acre"
Where Mr.. O'Shee obtained bis in
formation | am at loss to know,
and iie seems disinclined to enlighten
the board in this respect, since be-
neglects to answer Secretary Curley's
letter of inquiry OF date March 26,
1909, for such information.
Now. for the benefit of Mr.. O'Shee
desire to say. that no Encouragement,
standing otherwise. was ever made
by the Board of Equalizers with Mr..
Crandell or any other person, and
any statement to that effect is both
unwarranted and false.
AS matter of fact the value of
pine timber. land, Class A, for the
parish Of Rapides was placed at
$500 per acre, and not 81 80, as
stated in the communication refer
red to.
Mr.. O'Shee can easily ascertain this
to be the truth, and | hope that his
sense of justice will PROMPT him to
examine carefully into the matter.
and that he will publicly withdraw
the sluf cast on the integrity OF the
Board of Equalization contained in
his letter, that this board had
standing arrangement with MIR. Cram
dell, who represents non resident
spectators.
And in conclusion, would say that
| enclose herewith, for the informa-
ton and guidance OF Mr.. O'Shee, Of
fetal letter of the Secretary of the
Board. of date April IL, 1909, which
/ adopt as part of this commune
cation. Very respectfully,
H. E. EsToRGE.

WASHINGTON, May 1,.-Presi-
dent Taft today made known TO
some of his callers what he propos-
ed to do with reference to the shap-
ing of the tariff law. Without ex-
pressing any opinion as to the
merits of the layne and Aldrich
bills. he let ii be known that he will
have some suggestions TO make
after the senate passes the Aldrich
bill and the conferees of the two
houses get to work. 1t is then that
the real tariff bill will be made and
the president cannot see that there
is any use of his interfering in any
way before that stage is reached.
But he made II quite plain that he
will have some suggestion to make
at that time and that he will use all
the influence that he can possibly
bring to bear toward getting those
suggestion incorporated in the bill
to be reported from the conference to
the two houses.

suicide in the annex to the hospital.
Allen was in serious condition
from his excesses when he attempted
his life, although but for the wounds
which he inflicted he would prob
ably have recovered. The combina-

could overcome.
A telegram directed to the marshal
was received last night from p. T..
Green, 5S block NJ. Pueblo, asking
for further description of the
suicide and asking if his initials
were j. Il. or j. X. This telegram
was answered at once and further
word is expected today. 1t is sup
posed that the inquiry came about
as result of telegram sent to the
address given by Allen Thursday
night as that of his mother.
Allen was thought early yesterday
morning to be In favorable way
to make recovery. About 10 o'clock
his condition suddenly changed and
he became weaker. sinking rapidly
until death ensued. Until short
time before the end he was conscious
of his surroundings and spoke with
regret of his rash deed. He also re-
affirmed his statements of the night
before concerning his name and
home and expressed the wish that
IL he died his mother should be
notified.

Knock off Is of the

BAILEY ATTACKS OFFICERS OF
STEEL TRUST. DECLARING
THEY WILL GO TO PENITEN-
TIARY OR FLY THE COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON May 14.-After a
day devoted to discussing the duty
on iron ore the senate adopted by
a vote of TO 124 the recommenda-
tion OF the committee on finance, re-
ducing the duty 25 cents "A ton. The
house had placed the article on the
free list The Dingley duty is 40
cents per ton. Party lines were
annihllated in the vote today as II
Democrats voted "aye" with the Re-
publicans and IL Republicans voted
no" with the Democrats.
During the day Senator Bailey In
announcing that he proposed to vote
for the duty on iron ore, as revenue
measure, declared that free ore
would not effect the prosperity of the
United States Steel corporation and
added that even IL II did, there was
a better way TO deal with that
organization which was by enforce
ment OF the antI-law against H. lie
declared he expected to see this law
enforced and expressed confidence
that eventually the officers of the
steel corporation would either be In
the penitentiars OF fugiiiyes from
justice.
For the fsrsi time there was a sug-
gestion looking TO the fixing OF a
date for vote but It came 10 naught
because OF objection from Senator
Beverage.
Mr.. Burrows stated that IL was
reasonable To state that at the pre-
sent time. $1,000 men are employed
receiving wages amounting 10 S3l.-
100000 In the production of iron
ore, which industry he said. It was
now proposed 10 open up Co the COM
petition of the world.
Mr.. Burrows read a description of
extensive iron ore deposits In Cuba,
which he said belonged 10 the
Pennsylvania Steel company. This
body of ore on the north coast OF
Cuba. he said. was larger than the
iron ore deposits of the Lake Su-
perior region and all conditions were
favorable to placing that ore on the
market at cheap cost.
What Is the relation of the Penn
sylvania Steel company to the Unit
ed States Steel corporation. ask
ed Mr.. Brown of Nebraska.
THAT is not MATERIAL replied
Mr.. Burrows. II will appear later. >
1T seems to me to be very ma
terial,' said Mr.. Brown.
Senator Cummins said that he
understood the Cuban ore could not
be taken west of the Alleghenies, on
account of the freight rates.
Mr.. Burrows stated that from the
Lake region TO plttsburg the rate
was s2.2S ton. while from Cuba
to Pittsburg the rate was $2.35.
Quoting from the advance proof
sheets of the next report of the
