EFFORT TO CURB RAPAciTY

In Louisville. Ky. a short time ago.
the Household Loan company swooped
down upon the home of Richard Ward.
an unfortunate debtor, and seized Ger
tain articles Of furniture under the
terms of a chattel mortgage. The lit
tie bed upon which a sick baby was
sleeping went with the rest, and the
baby died in consequence. All men are
expected to pay their honest debts, but
there should be some limit to the col
lection Of the Shyloek's pound of flesh,
and the occurrence at Louisville is not
uncommon.
A bill has recently been introduced n
the New York legislature for the stated
purpose of lOosening the grip Of the
loan shark The title states that it is
Intended Ito regulate loan offices,
wherein loans are made TO or procured
for salaried persons, which loans are
secured to the lender by an assignment

It is provided that no one shall en-
gage in the loan business without first
procuring a license, and the character
of the applicant will have TO be vouched
for by two citizens. A bond of $4,000
must also be put up. No licensed per-

than az per cent per month for any

ATTACK ON SENATOR PERKINS.

Senator Perkins of California is the
latest victim of the Roosevelt wrath.
Mr. Perkins believes that the proposed
law segregating the japanese in sepa-
rate schools is just and proper and has
so declared. For taking this position
he is attacked by the president Mr..
Roosevelt charges Senator Perkins
with deliberate advocacy of war with
Japan and at the same time hampering
the administration in its efforts to build
up a great navy.
Senator Perkins has been a member
of the naval affairs committee since
1898. and has voted for every increase
in the naval appropriation that has
come before the committee in that time,
except that he favored building two
battleships instead of four, which was
the last proposal of Mr.. Roosevelt. The
California senator stands high in the
esteem of his fellow citizens of the Pa
cific coast, where the best part of his
life has been passed. He is usually re-
garded as being Ievei-headed as well
as progressive. Moreover, he has re-

THE STUFF THAT
MAKES MARTYRS
(Colliers weekly


When it comes to a matter Of abso-
lutte nerve, Fireman Jack Farley Of the
Canadian Pacific has never been out
done in the whole history of the rail-
road. Farley was knocked down by a
switch engine in the yards at Farm
ham. Half q dozen men who saw the
accident ran lip To tns engine, which
was stopped as quickly as possible.
Wedged under the front end Of the
firebOx, they saw a fOTmlsss heap Of
bloody rags. While they gave each
other excited directions TO which no
one paid heed, a muffled but steady
voice came from out that gruesome
heap.

In the same steady voice Farley di-
Tected every detail Of the process of
extricating his msngled body. BY good
fortune the company surgeon happened
to be within call Under his orders
Farley was laid on the ground, His
right leg was cut off below the knee,
his left leg above the knee. His Shout
derblade and collarbone were broken,
and his face and shoulders were fear
fully scratched and torn. Believing the
fireman 10 be dying, the surgeon began
! TO make his last moments as comfort
able as possible; but finding that his
pulse continued strong and that he
showed no signs of losing conscious
ness, ordered him carried to the hos

Washington, Dec. 23.--It looks as

ways and means committee who had
a conference with President-eiect

which ought TO settle for once and all
the fight which Fordrey has been
carrying on to keep the little brown

The rooms were beautifully. deco

o'clock President Charles Gassman
| called the meeting to order and an
| nounced that the program committee
had arranged at a previous meeting
to give the young people Of the club
the entire charge of the program af-
ter the election of officers and the
necessary business should be tran
sacted. After invocation by Mr.. Nc

Vice-Pres.-Mrs. H. II. Hill
Secy.-J. w. Hills.
Treas-J. w. Pierce.
Cor. Secy.-Miss Susan Hills.
Chaplain-Mr. McGlockne.

The secretary not being present
with the records the business was de-
ferred until next meeting. At the an
nouncement of dinner all repaired to
the tables and enjoyed an excellent
dinner prepared by the hostess and
her assistants.
Dinner over the president again
called the meeting to order and nam
ed his committees for the next years
work. After this the meeting was

Coffee, Lumber, Hides, Etc.

And still reports from Washing
ton keep up the talk OF the probab-
ility of duty on coffee of from to
cents a pound being a feature in
the coming tariff revision act. At 3
cents a pound coffee would yield, on
the basis Of the imports of 1908, an
annual revenue of forty-fve millions
dollars. The advocates of GUS
toms tax on coffee base their conten-
ton on three grounds: First, it
would be q good revenue producer;
second, it would encourage the rails
ing of coffee in the insular posses
sions third, it would provide q basis
whereby this government could Sc
cure reciprocal concessions from cof-
Reproducing countries, notably Bra
zil Brazil sells q hundred million
dollars worth of goods TO the Unit
ed States annually, and purchases,
only $19,000,000 worth in return.
With cent duty on coffee Bra
I'll would find II profitable to make
concessions on American manufac-
tured products, it is argued and thus
would be diverted to this country a
large part of her commerce that now
goes to Europe.
Besides, it is urged that a coffee
tariff is a revenue necessity, if lum

tain other imports are to be free list
ed. or the duties thereon materially
reduced. 1--WE send millions on mil
lions annually to foreign countries
in payment for coffee" it is also said,
whereas, with cents a pound pro-
teotion Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
Philippines would in few years
grow all the coffee consumed in the
continental United States"
There is PROFESSIONALLY great
force in the argument that If rev.
enues are reduced by free listing
lumber, hides, coal. ores, steel, etc,
other sources of revenue must be
found-and that tariff on coffee is
ono of the most available for the
purpose. But the American people
have had untariffed coffee for well

will be slow in repeating or reducing

Browns Two wiyes In Court.

Corunna, Dec. 80, (SpeciaD
man Lester Brown, Grand Trunk
fireman 23 years old, who has been
living at Durand for some time, was
arraigned before Justice Patched at
the Hub Tuesday and his examina-
ton taken up on a charge of big
amy. The crowd of curious specta-
tors was so great that an adjourn
ment was taken from the justice of
fees to the city Jail.
Both of Browns alleged wives
were in court. Mrs. Ida Cote Brown
of Saginaw, who produced proof of
her marriage in Catholic church at
Saginaw to Brown February 21,
1906, is nineteen years old. She is
a good-looking French girl with
swapping dark eyes, the daughter of
a Saginaw Bay fisherman. She sits
scornfully apart and will have moth
ing to do with the prisoner.
Wife No. 2, Florence Davidson
Brown, is also nineteen, but cannot
compare in looks or in brains, it is
declared, with her predecessor in
Browns affections. She is the daugh-
ter of farmer living near Forest
Hill, and was married at ithaca Dec.
10, 1907, it is alleged, the judge of
probate performing the ceremony.
The probate court has charge of
all cases where girl under the legal
age has been wronged by man, and
it is inferred that this was the rea-
son for the probate judge performing
the second ceremony.
If such was the case, and Prose-
cutor Hicks believes that it is, Brown
simply jumped out Of the frying
pan into the fire. For his offense
against Miss Davidson the maximum
sentence which could be inflicted is
six months in the county Jail. Now
it is alleged he has committed big
amy, with the correlative crime of
perjury, as he must have sworn to
lie, the prosecution insists, to get
the license. Both are states prison
offenses.
Browns alleged duplicity was dis
covered when wife No. 1 caused his
arrest in Ithaca recently for nom
support. This revealed the fact
that he was living with another wo-
man supposed to be his wife.
