resident Of this city, dropped dead
in his home on Foreman's row, near
the upper works, at 1 o'clock this aft
ernoon. The cause of his death. 1t Is
stated, probably was heart disease,

A CUT OF NE-HALF IN DUTIES
ON THIS PRODUCT SAID TO
BE CONTEMPLATED.
HIDES ON THE FREE List
Informs alton Secured at Washington Is
to Effect That Bill to Be Acted Upon
at Special Session Of Congress Fro
vides for Big Change in Tariffs on
Timber and Leather.

Washington, March S.--A cut OF
one-half in the duties on lumber anu
manufactures of lumber Is understood
to be one of the changes provided .py
the new tariff bill which is being
printed preparatory to it's final revl-
sion by the republican members OF
the house ways and means commlt.ee'
Another change, according to lntor-
nation from reliable sources, is tnat
hides have been placed on the Tree
list. There has been much contentloh
over the duties of these two articies.
During the hearings of the LUMBER
schedules the testimony was such as
to cause the impression that lumper
would be put on the free list. IL was
said that the forests of the country
could only be conserved by admitting
foreign lumber free Of duty. 1t Is
understood that Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester, is preparing figures In 1ur-
ther effort to have lumber admitted
free.
REPRESENTATIVE Fordney of Michigan
q member of the committee, mas
championed the cause Of the lumber
men. and the latter have been work
in energetically to prevent a reduc-
ton. They contend the rates shoulo
be increased in order that the Amer
ican industry may compete with the
cheaper labor employed in Canada
and because of the better facilit,es
for transportation afforded by the
proximity of the Canadian lumber
camps to waterways.
The effort to obtain hides free Is
being made principally by the leather
manufacturers and is strongly op-
posed by the cattlemen of the west.
It is said that the trainers nave
agreed to a material reduction on
leather manufactures.
An impression prevails that the p
is to have the hide and leather sched-
ule fixed in conference after the ques-
tions have been thoroughly threshed
out on the floor Of the house, In the
senate finance committee and on the
floor of the senate.
Champ Clark, the house minority
leader, passed considerable time today
with Representative Underwood in
laying out the plan to be followed by
the minority in it's fight in the house.
1t is understood that the democratic
policy will be to criticize the repub-
lican bill and offer amendments to 1t.
They will follow tariff for revenue
rather than for free trade policy.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte, March S.-"Professor" J. K.
Kellogg is again at liberty, but he
will be in Jail just as soon as the city
authorities can locate him again, it is
said. He was brought back this
morning by Under Sheriff Mike Muir
ray, who had spent hours following
his escaped man before the professor
came back to send another telegram
in Pocatello, and fell into the arms Of
the man looking for him. This time
Murray did not show him kindness;
he legironed his prisoner and hand
cuffed him and landed him safely.
Two hours after Kellogg was in
town he was freed from prosecution,
the county attorney ordering his re-
lease, stating that the state laws could
not touch his case, as he did not make
any secret of his going away, and
that the notes alleged to have been
secured by him We're not yet due. An
attempt was made against the pro-
fessor's $1,000 diamond ring, and this
attachment was promptly satisfied by
paying the claim of $153. Other peo-
pie with attachment suits are now
busy, but there seems to be little
property available.
In police court another warrant has
been issued for the arrest of the seer,
charging him with fortune telling An
officer was sent to Kellogg's hotel to
arrest him. Kellogg claimed that he
was prostrated by his experience, and
so the officer reported. Dr. Pigott,
city physician. went over to see Kel-
logg and learn how sick he was, and
found an empty room. Later 1t was
learned that Kellogg was taking in
the road houses on the flat in an au-
tomobile and he will be grabbed" just
as soon as he gets within the juris-
diction of the city officials

on the Los Angeles acqueduct as a
traction engineer, came to San Pedro
this morning and proposed this after
noon to attempt balloon ascension.

from the north and directly toward
the bay from the point where the
balloon was moored. Elkins, however.

AS the huge bag rose it careened
and was carried rapidly out over the
water. Elkins began frantic efforts

before the spectators could realize he
was in danger the bag was far out at

reached $500 feet. when the aeronaut
was seen to leave the bag and drop
like A. rocket toward the ocean. The
parachute filed after ii had fallen a
short distance, but was caught by the
wind and carried still further out and
fell in the ocean mile beyond
Deadman's island.

months ago from San Antonio, Texas,

MAY SUE TO SECURE
EXCESS RATE
CHARGES

Spokane, March S.-Plans are
being considered here for a huge
suit by Spokane jobbers to secure
rebates on freight charges which,
it is thought, may aggregate
$25O,00O. The claim is based on
the recent ruling of the interstate
commerce commission declaring
freight rates to this city We're "in-
herently unreasonable" and order
ing reductions. The theory is ad-
vanced that rebates may be de-
manded on excess charges paid
ago.
