HAIR DYE AFFECTS
MARY GARDENS EYES

PARIS, June 6.-Mary Garden lies to-
night in a dark room unable to bear
the slightest rays of lehG Not only are
her eyes affected, but her whole nervous
system Is so completely disarranged that
It will probably be long time before
she appears on the stage again.
Her illness, as we'll as the cause Of
It, have been kept profound secrets be-
cause her intimate friends and the man
ayers of the opera have consistently
pooh-poohed the intimation that her re-
peated failures to appear when announc-
ed to appear have been due TO anything
but characteristic indisposition.
Twice, however, the billboards have
borne the notice of her definite appear
anee and twice that announcement has
been cancelled so that the conventional
excuse seemed too fiimsy for credence
when it occurred a second time within a
week. What first aroused suspicion was
that many of Miss Gardens friends were
not permitted to see her. 1t was not until
tonight that the truth was learned. The
exact cause of Miss Gardens illness-an
illness which is really so serious that it
may rob the world of music of one Of
the most brilliant prima donnas-is this:
Shortly after her arrival in Paris, Miss
Garden for some reason took dislike to
her sandy hair. and stained 1t with a
preparation. 1t was not peroxide, but
some new mixture, warranted to give the
hair a golden color, shot with CLEANS
OF, red. The process was a slow one and
necessitated a number Of applications
This in turn brought about slow poison
ing.
Evidently the chemicals I'm the hair
dye were of an unusually searching char
acter, for after a few applications Miss
Garden found that her optic nerves were
affected

violation of the Alabama contract labor
laws and his case will a second time be
appealed to the supreme court of the
United States. The supreme court of
Alabama today affirmed the Montgomery
city court in laying a jail sentence upon
him for agreeing to work for a man and
refusing, without paying back the money
advanced, to carry out his contract.
In former hearing in this case the
supreme court of the nation refused to

battle, or what appears TO me to be on
that side" addressing the Republicans.
Last night the senator from Rhode
Island proved TO his own satisfaction and
to the satisfaction OF the Macedonian
phalanx which he has organized and
holds together. that there is no increase
OF rates i'm the amendment. The senator
from Wisconsin and the senator from
Iowa, today have proved from the same
sources that the rates have been In
creased materially"
Declaring that Senator Aldricch was
admitted 10 be the senate In the matter
pending, Mr.. Tillman said:
why don't you push this thing to a
vote and go homer"
He said a Republican senator had re-
ferred to the Republican members OF the
finance committee as hypocrites.
You are not hypocrites," added Mr..
Tillman. but you are the boldest band
OF buccaneers that ever got together
Mr.. Delivers proposed amendment to
paragraph Sl2 placing ad valorem, in
stead OF specific duties on the most cost
~ cotton goods was rendered unneces-
sary because OF the consolidation OF that
paragraph 80. placing ad valorem In
relating to the same. general class OF
goods. This changed the tactics Of the
Iowa senator from an attempt to adopt
his amendment TO an effort TO accom-
plish the same result by defeating the
committee amendment. substituting spe-
cific for ad valOrem duties on more cost
IL goods in paragraph s1s, the ad valorem
provision being placed there by the
house and stricken out by the COMMITTEES
on finance.
WANTS RATES REDUCED.
Mr. Cummins said he would like to see
the rates of the Dingley law reduced
..but. he added. II shall be content II
we can hold the Dinghy law as IL is.
He attacked the reason given by the
committee on finance for change OF duty
from ad valOrem to specific as disingen'
uous. In the specific duties provided, he
said the rates depended upon the value
OF the cloth which would involve the same
danger of fraud as would the levying OF
tn cad valorem duty.
This being so. he declared the only rea.
son for making the change was 10 raise
or lower the duty.
Mr.. AIdrfch replied that only 10 per cent
OF the code was affected by these specific
duties.
BY a vote of SO to IS the first committee
amendment providing specific for ad va
loren duties of the house bill was agreed

cific duties. Foster and McEnery were the
only Democrats. while of the % voting IN
the negative, ten were Republicans-Bris-

and Nelson.
The next vote for specific duties result
ed in the same party division, Senator
Simmons adding one more TO the mega
tive.
Senator Bacon then suggested that as
all the amendments for the cotton sched-
ule involved the same question they might
be voted on at one time.

IN MESSAGE OF TAFT

WASHINGTON, June 5.-President Taft
today transmitted to the congress with a
special message, the report of Charles E.
Magoon. who served as provisional COVER
nor Of Cuba during the last American oc-
cupatton. of the island. The president
takes occasion to warmly congratulate
Governor Magoon~ for his service both to
the United States and Cuba. and gives
high praise to Major General Thomas II.
Barry, who was in command of the Unit
ed States forces. The presidents mes
sage follows:
TEXT OF THE MESSAGE.
i ITO the Senate and House Of Represen-
tatives: 1 have the honor to transmit
herewith a communication from the act
ing secretary of war under date of May s,
submitting the report with accompanying
exhibits OF Hon. Charles E. Magoon, pro-
visional governor of Cuba for the period
from December /, 1908, to January rs. 1909,
when the provisional government was ter
minated and the island again turned over
to the Cubans. 1 recommend, in accord
ance with the suggestion Of the acting
secretary of war, that this report and the
exhibits be, printed. I think 1t only prop
er to take this opportunity to say that the
administration of Governor Magoon, of
the government of Cuba from 1906 to 1903,
involved the disposition and settlement of
many very difficult questions and require
ments upon his part, the exercise of abil-
ity and tact of highest order. 1t gives
me much pleasure to note. in this public
record. the credit due to Governor Ma
COON for his distinguished service.
PRESERVED PEACE.
THE army OF Cuban pacification under
Major General Barry was of the utmost
assistance in the preservation of the peace
of the island and the maintenance of law
and order, without the slightest friction
with the inhabitants of the island. al
though the army was widely distributed
through the six provinces and came into
close contact with the people.
THE administration of Governor Ma
COON and the laws recommended by the
advisory commission with Col. Crowder,
of the ge-advocate-generars corps at
its head and put into force by the COVER
nor. have greatly facilitated the progress
of good government in Cuba. At a fair
election held under the advisory commits
sion's new election law, General Gomez
was chosen president, and he has begun
his administration under good auspices.
I am glad to express the hope that the
new government will grow in strength
and self sustaining capacity under the
provisions of the Cuban constitution"
