Adopt Resolutions Asking that George
Cox Get Speedy
Sentence.

Burlington negroes, at a meeting
held the other evening, adopted reso-
buttons asking that speedy Justice be
melted out to George Cox, the former
Keokuk negro who murdered Emma
Ford recently there. A minister nam
ed Thomas has for some time been try
ing to organize sort Of colored Y. M.
G. A., there and the recent murder
has put stop to these proceedings.
I The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, There has been a foul
and dastardly cold blooded murder
committed in Fate Martins place Of
business in the city of Burlington by
the killing Of the Ford woman by the
notorious George Cox, and as this
crime has blotted the fair name Of our
city and brought shame and disgrace
upon all the colored people Of Burling-
ton, we endorse the action OF Mayor
Unterkircher in closing the place OF
Fate Martin. We sympathize with Mr..
Martin, but the way of the trans.
! gressor is hard
We further resolve that the colored
people Of Burlington will do all in our
power to help the authorities to keep
order and enforce law. We discounte
nance lynch law and mob. violence and
pledge ourselves to stand by the law
discouraging crime and all wrong
doing.
We will do all in our power to as

TRACK MUST

hits important thoroughfare for

The grade fixed by Commits

of the street railway company with
a hump seven feet high in the
street was repudiated by the coun-
ell last night and then a resolu-
ton was adopted ordering the

flo per cent of decrease over the
duties of the Dingley bill. AL
changes must, of necessity, be
confined to this rs per cent of the
tariff schedules.
The vital changes in the bill
will be those which affect general
Legislation, such as will be worked
lby dropping out the inheritance
tax and the vitalizing clauses of
the tariff commission paragraph.
On the other hand, there will
be some horse-trading done. Mr..
Aldrich has some corporation in
terests which he expects to serve
behind the closed doors of the
committee room very much as he
served the sugar trust when he
was a member of the conference
committee in 1892. At that time
he succeeded in increasing the
duty on refined sugar one-tenth
of per cent above the duties rec
commended by the senate and the
house--an amount which equaled
a revenue of 100000 a year
added to the profits of the sugar
trust ever since. In return for this
the sugar trust has helped him in
his campaigns In Rhode Island.
From the consumers point of
view, the conference committees
alterations in the tariff law are
not to be contemplated with feel
ings of either hope or joy. Sem
ator Aldrich has been very anx-
ious to get the bill advanced to
the conference committee stage.
and one of the arguments used to
grease the tracks is the rather hui
morous statement that when the
bill reached the conference, Pres
ident Taft would probably put
forth his long-delayed interven-
ton and secure valuable conces-
sions in the way of downward re-
vision in the interest of the con-
sumer."
There should not be any misun-
Outstanding on this subject. What
President Taft does not do at the
present time will not be done.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July L.
The last sad rites OF the Aldrich
tariff bill will take place behind
the closed doors of a conference
committee room. The principal
iniquities will be enacted in the
dark.
1t is the function of confer
ence committee to adjust differ
ences between the laws passed in
the house and In the senate. All
paragraphs or sections which are
Identical are not subject to any
change. If, however, the senate
bill contains any amendment to
amy paragraph any rate is
higher or lower in the senate bill
that rate becomes the subject of
adjustment.
Disputed schedules can be ar
ranged finally in any way which is
satisfactory to majority of the
conference committee; providing
only that the final report of the
committee is approved in the SEN
ate and the house.

possibility of revising the tariff
downward" after the bill gets to
conference. There are several rea-
sons why there is no possibility
of this happening. One very good
reason is the fact that all the re-
publicans and several of the dem
ocratic members of the commit
tee are In favor of revising the
tariff upward.
A still better reason why no
substantial revision downward can
take place after the bill gets to
conference is because rs per cent
of the schedules will not be open
TO any change in the conference
committee. They are the old
Dingley rates unchanged. An an
alysis OF the senate bills shows
that on the basis of the value of
goods imported the senate bill
