A WOMAN TO CONGRESS.

and Propose Vigorous Campaign.
Colorado women are to make de-
termined effort to send one Of their
sex to congress two years hence. Such
was the announcement made to the
visiting delegates from the Interna-
tional Council Of Women at Denver by
one who spoke for the women's asso-
Citations in the state.
It was Lady Mcmillan, who talked
Of suffrage to the house Of lords for
four hours and then stopped only be-
cause they ordered her to desist, who
brought out the statement She put
the question point blank to the Den
yer women who were entertaining her.
All are agreed that Mrs. Sarah
Platte Decker is to be the candidate
and that every feminine resource will
figure in the contest and that a move
toward preliminary education Of the
voters on this line must be made soon.
Mrs. Decker herself says she has
never considered the matter seriously
owing to her belief that there is a
federal statute or constitutional pro-
vision that women cannot be mem
bers Of either house Of congress. She
believes, however, that they should be
entitled to seats in the nations legis-
lature and is confident that their pres
ence there would be beneficial to the
people. One Of her chief hobbies is a
drastic anti child labor law.

ance, which was never seriously in
jeopardy. and to readopt the house
rules with only a few unimportant
notifications
In the beginning Representative Sc
reno e. Payne; chairman of the ways
and means committee and Republican
floor leader, was the central figure.
Mr.. Payne, who had been prominent
in framing both the Mckinley and the
Dingley bills, had been the leader in
framing the new bill which was to
take his name. The most significant
fact Of his leadership appeared when
it was seen that the bill he reported
was in substantial agreement with the
presidents idea of revision down
ward, which, as subsequent events
proved, made Mr.. Payne in effect the
foremost advocate Of the revisior
downward sentiment.
The Senate Insurgents.
It was after the bill went to the
senate that the other side had it's inn
ing. In that body, under the skillful
leadership of Senator Aldrich, rates
which had been reduced in the house
bill were put back to the old Dingley
basis and in many cases even higher.
The fight in the senate produced new
force in American politics, body Of
fnsurgent Republicans which, while
never large, was most conspicuous for
ability and pugnacity. The number Of
these insurrectos, or progressives, as
they prefer to be called, fluctuated in
successive votes, but was never much
above a dozen, and came to be re-
ferred to in time as the fighting ten"
At the head were Senator La Toilette
Of Wisconsin and Senator Cummins Of
Iowa, two men who had been singing
the song Of revision and Of other ad.

presidency William Howard Taft in a
speech in Maine added a word-two
or three of them, in fact-in behalf of
a reduction of schedules. Somewhat
later the cry became so insistent that
president Roosevelt felt it incumbent
on him to notice it, and shortly after.
ward one Of his visitors at Oyster Bay
gave out an inspired statement to the
effect that nothing would be done
about the tariff until after the inaugu-
ration of the next president. In keep
ing with this program, the Republican
national convention adopted a plank
promising an extra session of congress
to deal with the tariff, to be called as
soon as the new president took his
seat This step was made not only be-
cause of public opinion for revision,
but for the further reason that the
government was short of revenue A
deficit in the treasury is a most NOV

1t was not only tariff revision, but
tariff revision downward! This was
the slogan of both parties in the ensu-
ing campaign. Both candidates sound

being the lengths to which they would
go and the principle on which they
would operate. Mr.. Taft would only

The Tariff Hearings.

mer vacation between the two sessions
the old ways and means committee of
the house had it's tariff hearings the
most sensational witness being An
drew Carnegie, who startled the coun-
try by coming out as an ardent re.
v1s1onist. It was almost as though
John D. Rockefeller had appeared In
the role of a muck raker and trust
buster.
BY the time the short session had
met these hearings had progressed to
point when actual constructive work
in framing the new schedules could
be started, and as consequence the
country was treated to the spectacle
of the ways and means committee of
an outgoing congress framing tariff
bill for the consideration of an extra
session of an incoming congress that
had not been called and that could not
be called until the old congress had
gone out Of existence. This irregulari-
ty was more apparent than real, how
ever, for the reason that everybody
knew an extra session would be called,
and everybody was just as certain
that the old ways and means commit
tee would in the main constitute the
new ways and means committee. Thus
it was that when the extra session did
meet it found before it a completed
tariff bill, ready to be introduced, and
one that had been so maturely consid-
cred that it was debated, amended and
rushed through to passage in the
house in less than a month after the
body convened

IA Z takes long time to get tariff
law on the statute books Of the
United States, and then it is sell

anybody hoped it would be. It has so

all recognition, The present bill was

framed by Taft and generally framed
so early and SO often that many peo-
pie think it should be hung as a work
of art.
The Payne bill took longer to get
into condition than the Dingley law,
which it supplants. The extra session
having each measure in charge met on
March Is, but the Dingley act had re-
ce1ved the presidents signature on
July "a. That was twelve years ago,
since which time we have lived under
the provisions of that act. A like
comparison with the rate Of progress
on the Wilson bill of four years earlier
is impossible, for the reason that it
never was signed Cleveland allowed
it to become a law without honoring
it with his microscopic chirography.
The only other tariff bill to become a
law during the last quarter of CEN
tury was the Mckinley bill, adopted in
1889, piece of legislation that swept
the Republican party out of power at
the next election and kept it out for
the most part until the Democrats
committed an equal act of political
harakiri by adopting the Wilson bill
in 1898. There is political aphorism
to the effect that the party passing a
new tariff bill also passes itself out of
power at the next election, rule that
has proved true four out of five times
in the last thirty years, the only ex-
ception having been in 1897, when the
Spanish-American war interviewed and
set aside minor political causes.
First Revision Sentiment.
The Payne bill really had it's incep-
ton back in the days when the people
regardless of party and in many states
were agitating for tariff revision. Some
OF these cries for lower duties came
from Massachusetts,, some from Wis
consin, where Senator La Follette's
voice was leading the chorus; some
from Iowa, where Senator Cummins
sang, whistled and otherwise expound-
ed 'the Iowa idea," and some from
other corners Of the nation, where
they disturbed the meditations of the
stand patters.' It is even said that

ton which was to name him for the

Aldrich In the Saddle.
The Payne bill had not been long be-
fore the senate until all the downward
revision features had practically been
eliminated and the measure became
actually one of revision upward. Thus
it was when it went to the conference
committees, where the final struggle
between the two houses took place
and the president at last injected him
self into the fight. The peculiar part
Of the situation in the conference com.
mittees, where the essential features
Of all tariff bills really are determined,
was that Mr.. Payne seemed to have
been set aside and Senator Aldrich
controlled the day. This led to one
stormy session, in which Payne left
the meeting, but afterward a truce
was patched up and the struggle was
carried on in more diplomatic fashion,
for it speedily became apparent that
the Payne bill, like all the tariff acts
that had gone before, would be a COM

EXPECT MRS. STETSON
WILL ESTABLISH NEW
CHURCH IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Augusta
e. Stetson, excommunicated Christian
Science leader of this city, has se-
cluded herself following the action
taken against her by the mother
church in Boston, and just what will
be the outcome of matters in the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, here, of
which she was formerly the dominant
figure, is problematical.
Trustees Of the church met today
but took no official action in her case.
There is much talk of a new church
being organized, with Mrs. Stetson at
the head, but there is nothing authori-
tatiye.
Although dropped by the mother
church, Mrs. Stetson is not barred from
the New York institution. Whether
she will be dropped is to be decided.
She is still a member of the board of
trustees of the local church, and, al
though ii is understood she has ten
dered her resignation, 1t was not acted
upon today.

ELkS GATHER
IN RIVERSIDE
THOUSAND OF ANTLERED HERD
MARCH IN PARADE
RECEPTION is GIVEN DEPUTY
GRAND EXALTED RULER
Best Fellows on Earth Do Honor to
New Leader in Southern Cali
fornia - Travel in
Specials
Especial to The Herald

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 19-Elks from
every city from Fresno to San Diego
are assembled in Riverside tonight.
They are here a thousand strong to dc
honor to the new head OF the order Ill
Southern California of the south The
occasion is the reception being ten
dered to Prof. A. N. Wheelock, deputy
grand exalted ruler, by his loyal sup
porters, and barring the great Elk con-
Yention in the Angel city last summer
it is safe to say that Elkdom in Cali
fornia has never seen a more notable
gathering.
1t was a little before Z o'clock when
the special trains arrived over the
Santa Fe and Salt Lake. San Diego
was the most distant city to send a
special, and when the train reached
Santa Ana car of Orange county Elks
was attached. One engine could
scarcely pull the Los Angeles train
that came in over the Salt Lake. Cars
from San Pedro, Santa Monica and
Long Beach had been added to the
train. Pasadena sent its own train
and Redlands and San Bernardino
united in a special. The trains arrived
within a few minutes of each other and
as the unloading progressed the Eiks
lined up on Eighth street for the
parade. This was imposing to de-
gree. The White Squadron of Los An
geles and its band, the local lodge and
the Riverside Military band, the eX-
alted rulers and past exalted rulers
from northern and southern cities and
the hundreds of Elks from the various
southern lodges comprised columns
that extended almost to Main street
from the depots.
The White Squadron and its band left
the marching column at the corner of
Main and Eighth streets and continued
up main to the postoffice, where the
flag was saluted. Similar ceremonies
were performed at the Carnegie library,
the Glenwood Mission Inn and the
court house.
Cars were in waiting at the corner
of Main and Fourteenth streets to con-
vey the visitors to the Victoria club
house, where the reception was held.
The handsome building had been deco
rated in rare good taste, and here
Deputy Exalted Ruler Wheelock re-
eeived the fluctuations of loyal Elks.
Brief addresses were made by Elks
high in the order from all Southern |
California and several northern cities, |
and Prof. Wheelock responded with II |
most eloquent tribute to the order.
Buffet luncheon was served during |
the evening.
At the conclusion of the IL o'clock
toast the visitors left in their special |
trains for home.

D0WAGER DUCHESS OF
MANCHESTER is DEAD

LONDON, Nov. 19-Consuelo, dow
ager duchess of Manchester, died early
this Saturday morning of heart fail
ure, following an attack of neuritis.
She had been ill for some time from
neuritis, but recently complications
developed. She was living in the Lon
don residence and was attended by
Sir Alfred Fripp, M. D., surgeon in
ordinary to King Edward.
At her bedside were Lady Lister
Kays and Miss Emily Yznaga of New
York, her sister. In her illness King
Edward frequently made inquiries
concerning her condition.
The dowager duchess of Manchester
was the daughter of Antonio Yznaga
del Vale of Ravenswood, La, and
Cuba. After the Civil War Mr..
Yznaga, having lost most of his for
tune, moved north and Consuelo be-
came a prominent figure in the social
life of New York city. Her wedding
in May 1876, to the Viscount Mande-
vile was a brilliant affair and one of
the first alliances of American girls
with foreigners.

BOYS CONFESS
TO ROBBERIES
FOUR YOUNGSTERS ARRESTED
FOR STEALING
LADS LESS THAN 13 YEARS OLD
HOLD UP WOMEN
Cash, Watches, Pocketbooks and other
Articles Are Secured by Children
Who Work Like Professional
Desperadoes

LONG BEACH, Nov. 19.-Vester and
Lester McDermid, twins 13 years old,
of Pomona; Ernest Ramirez, the same
age, of Los Angeles, and Thomas
Holmes, 12 years old, also of Pomona,
were arrested tonight at Mira-Mar,
two miles east of here and are now
held in Jail, having confessed to a
series of bold holdups, purse-snatchings
and burglaries, which have baffied the
police for several days. The boys
boldly asserted their guilt after they
were arrested and seemed to enjoy the
sensation of being held in Jail. They
escaped Tuesday from the Parental
home, Los Angeles, and since have
terrorized women pedestrians along the
water front here.
Watches, pocketbooks, nearly $100 in
money, 100 cigars, horse and buggy
and other articles too numerous to
mention are a part of the loot Of the
boy bandits. Most Of the articles have
been recovered, excepting several
pocketbooks. These the youths de-
stroyed or threw away. The horse and
buggy were found in Wilmington.
Dr. Frederick Reynolds of San Pc
dro, Mrs. ]. II. Montgomery, Miss
Irene Cummins, a guest of the Hotel
Savoy, and several others were victims
of the youthful desperadoes. DIR. Rey-
nolds lost his horse and buggy and a
set of valuable surgical instruments as
a result of the boys depredations. The
horse and buggy were later recovered.
In each instance, when women were
to be held up, the plan of attack was
the same. The boys, usually two of
them, would accost q woman walking
in a darkened path She would be
called on to throw up her hands, and
then the two boys in back would grasp
her purse and all would run.
The last burglary of the boys proved
their undoing. They confessed to hav-
ing entered a store, stolen 100 cigars
and several blankets. In the blankets
they paraded about Mira-Mar and |
were seen by Frank Sanders. He re-
ported the boys to the police as sus- |
picious characters, not knowing that |
they were mere children. Arrests soon /
and when taken to the po-
lice station here tonight they confessed |
to everything.
The boys will be arraigned in the
Juvenile court
