certain how many OF them will vote
against the adoption Of the conference
report. Much will depend on what the
report looks like. But there is no dis

Senator Cummins
For Free Raw Materials.

Senator Cummius of Iowa, one Of tie
Republicans who voted against the bill
who has but lately returned after sev-
eraI days absence, SAID that he was in
favor OF free raw materials: that no
was for free hides if suitable conces-
sions were made as 10 duties on leather
and shoes. but that he did not consider
that changes IN the bin in these re-
spects would atone for its other faults
in the shape OF excessive duties and
that ne believed there should be reduc-
tiCns of a much wider scope than in
free raw materials. While hoping AIT
Taft would succeed in forcing other
schedules downward. MI Cummins
doubted whether the couferees would
WELD on these matters. He said there
should be material reductions in the
cotton schedule. in the wooden scbed-
ule; that the reductions in iron and
steel were not great enough to do the
consumer any good, and that IN gen
eral the reduction should extend 10
manufactured goods as well as raw ma

u REPRESENTATIVE DONGWORTH
II Of Ohio has acquired a certain
amount of fame as a reformer, by
reason Of being the son-in-law Of his
father-in-law. Mr.. Longworth, in truth
doesn't work very hard at the business
Of reforming. He is not Of the insur-
gent persuasion. He is az regular as
it is possible for ANYBODY 70 be. There
used 70 be some b.. terest in his votes

opinions and policies Of the late Presi-
dent; but il early became evident that
the young man from the First Ohio
district did his own voting and wasn't
assuming any more responsibility for
the program of the President who hap
pened to be his Uifes father than any
body else could be expected TO assume.
All this was perfectly known in the
House. Wherefore, the following sad

Banks Closed In Honor of Dead
Negro.

Rolla, Mo-, May 10. The three
banks of this place closed today
while a negro was buried. Officials
of the institutions attended the
funeral, and two which he served
as janitOr will pay the burial ex-
penses.
The dead negro was Richard
Dupee, who during the Civil war
was body servant OF A. J. Seay, a
former governor of Oklahoma. He
was born born in Lynchburg, Va,
and taken as a slave to Mississippi
where he was acquired by Seay.
Since the war he had lived in ROl-
la. For thirty years he had been
employed by the National bank of
Rolla and by the Rolla State bank
since its organization in 1894.
The officials of the banks placed
implicit confidence in him and
frequently entrusted him, as mes
seneer, with large sums of money.
