WREAKS VENGEANCE
ON ENEMY'S BROTHER

Los Angeles, Cal, April 9.-Unable
to locate Louis Macaluso, against
whom he had bitter hatred, Sal
vatore Ferlossa wreaked his yen-
geance upon the next of kin in true
Sicilan style last night, waylaying
and shooting Sam Macaluso in the
hallway of his home at 5,0S4 Daggett
avenue. The victim received three
bullet wounds and died early today.
Ferlossa is a fugitive.
Ferlossa had been wounded by
Louis Macaluso five weeks ago. The
men lived in the same boarding house
and last evening ate and drank to-
gether. But when Macaiuso climbed
the stairs to his room Ferlossa's door
was thrown open and the shots rang
out.
Il take my revenge exclaimed the
slayer as he dashed past the men,
bers of the household.

PAYNE TARIFF BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
After An Exciting Session During Which Some Fiery
Debates Were Held and Numerous Minor Changes
Made, the Measure is Finally Approved

Washington, April 9-After three
weeks of consideration the Payne tar
iff bill was passed by the house of
representatives tonight amid great
excitement by a vote of PIT to 161. One
republican, Austin of Tennessee, voted
against the measure, and four demo-
Gratis, all from Louisiana, Messrs.
Broussard. Estopinal Pujo and Wick
lifee, voted for it. An attempt by
Champ Clark, the minority leader, to
re- commit the bill with instructions
signally failed. The day was filled
with excitement from the moment the
session began at noon until adjourn
ment The members were keyed up to
the highest pitch and a practically full
membership remained on duty
throughout The final vote demonstrat-
ed the capacity of the republican Or
ganization to get together.
The situation with respect to lum-
Der was greatly relieved to the repub-
lican leaders when it became mani
fest that the advocates of the propo-
sition placing it in the free list were
in the minority. Because of that
fact Mr.. Fitzgerald IN. " suggest
eu lIldl d uedl Ildu UccH llletuc
last night whereby free lumber was to
be voted down and the rates on bar
ley and barley malt increased, and
this notwithstanding the denials Of
Messrs. Mann 0ll) and Cushman
(Wash.) who offered the barley
amendments.
The general public was greatly in
terested in the proceedings and the
galleries were packed. Both the dip
lomatic and executive reservations
likewise were fully occupied, Mrs.
Taft being among those present.
Cheer Lustily.
When the bill actually was passed
the republicans cheered Justify, some
dancing up and down the aisles and
patting their fellow members on the
back The bill was introduced March
II, reported to the house by the ways
and means committee on the following
day and was under general debate for
16 days Last Monday the rules COM
mittee reported a special order which
closed the general discussion and pro-
vided for the consideration of the bill
under the five-minute rule.
One of the principal changes in the
bill was the placing of petroleum on
the free list today.
Among other important amendments
| made since the bill came from the
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-04-10

committee were those striking out the
provision for a duty on tea and the
countervailing duty provision on cof-
fee.
The so-called Joker" in the cotton
cloth schedule which, it was claimed,
would increase the duties of the Ding
ley bill several hundred per cent, were
corrected, the proviso for the method
of counting the threads in the cloth
being made the same as in the pres
ent law
Drawback Section.
The drawback section was added to
the bill SO that it could not be taken
advantage of for speculating in grain,
and the Philippine free trade provision
was amended so that rice will not be
admitted free from the islands
The countervailing duty clause on
lumber was stricken out, but a strong
effort to place lumber on the free list
did not succeed.
The duty on barley, barley malt,
pineapples in crates, and cotton COL
lars and cuffs, as originally in the bill,
were increased.
A proviso was included in the to-
DdCCO Scueuulc INCREASING Tie duty On
filler tobacco from any country which
prohibits the importation of American
tobacco.
There were several TECHNICAL
changes in the steel schedule, princi-
pally downward Hides, hosiery and
gloves were left as reported by the
committee, hides remaining free and
an increased duty being presented for
gloves and stockings.
Stubborn Contest.
The contest over free petroleum was
stubborn, but the vote in it's favor was
overwhelming. Opposing it were re-
publicans as follows:
Alexander, Andrus, Southwick and
Vreeland Of New York; Austin of
Tennessee; Barchfield, Barclay, Bates,

SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
WILL CONSIDER TARIFF BE-
HIND CLOSED DOORS.
READY TO INSERT RATES
Hampered in the Few Meetings That
Remain to be Held by Suggestions
From Outside People and interests
Lumber is Important Rate.

Washington, April s.-When the
senate committee on finance conclud-
ed its session tonight it was with
the understanding that all avenues to
the committee room had been closed
and that the few sessions to be he
prior to the reporting of amendp
to the Payne bill would not be
pered by suggestions from tn
side. The committee is now pI
to insert rates on certain inn
matters,
Among the schedules attract
ticular attention now are met
manufactures of metals, lumbe
bitumnous coal and sugar.
No rates on steel and i'm
been inserted as yet, althous
practically settled that iron d
be taxed 20 cents a ton and pl
tionate rate will be assessed al
scrap iron and steel refuse f1t onl
be manufactured
The iron interests are concerI
chiefly in getting an increase ov1
the rates of the Payne bill on rails and
structural iron. The Payne bill cuts
the existing rate on steel rails from
$7.S4 to 1892, just one-half. Steel
men contend that the Payne rates are
too severe a reduction. They have
asked that a rate of $5.SS be fixed on
rails. 1t is generally believed the
committee will name rate of about
SIS per ton. On structural steel it is
likely that the Dingley rates of one
half cent pound will be main
tanned, instead of adopting a rate of
| n a a
by the Payne bill.
Coal Rates.
The reciprocity clause of the btu
minous coal schedule, which it is said,
would result in the elimination of all
duties on coal in the trade between
Canada and the United States, is like
ly to go out of the bill. Senators FL
kins and Dick were before the COM
mittee today in this connection, TAX
ing opposite sides. Under both the
Dingley law and the Payne bill btu
minous coal pays a duty of 81 cents
ton The senate committee Is con-
sidering a reduction of the duty to
about SO cents, in view of the elimi-
| nation of the reciprocity clause. The
| Payne bill places culm, or slack coal.
on a par with bituminous coal, which
would increase the rate 1t must pay
| from Is cents to 81 cents.
Rate Too Low.
Senator Elkins submitted data in
dicating that the present rate of Is
cents on slack coal is too low. He
read letters from American agents in
Canada and Australia asserting that
mines in those countries artificially
crush bituminous coal in order to
make it admissible to the United
States at the Is instead of the 81 cent
rate.
1t is reported that the senate COM
mittee win reduce the existing Ding
ley rates on lumber one-haf. A can
vass of the senate indicates that an
effort in the direction of getting free
lumber, If made after the bill reaches
| the senate, would be unavailing.
| The canvass on the question of hides
was concluded today and 1t is asserted
that as a result hides will be taken
from the free list and a duty fixed at
| Is per cent ad valorem.
That wool of all grades and wool
| tops would be placed in the senate
bill under the existing rates was stated
upon what appears to be excellent au-
| thority.

How fortunate for the Statue of Purity
in Long Acre Square that she cannot
talk! If she had a tongue she would
perhaps have used it as the Statue of

dousing the community with mud. We

Throughout the campaign public re-
spect for her has remained just what it
was in the beginning. She is hollow and
cheap. but her hOllOwness and cheapness
are no more obvious now than they
were at first. and whatever faith ex-
listed in her pretensions is mistaken by
any conduct Of hers. She did not enter
the campaign with a reputation for pu-
rity to emerge from it with a reputation
for nothing but a temper. She did not
begin a statue 10 end a vifago. She
has not driven away and is not driving
away totes from the ticket OF her spOn-
sOrs. Her present undimmed repute is
due to her silence. She has reason 70

At LAST!

II is the first time that many people
have ever seen Judge Gaynor as he is.
In fact, strange as it may seem to him.
for no doubt he feels very important on
his self-erected pedestal, many did not
even know who he was.
But really is IL he? Judge Gaynor.
you know, is the Christian Jurist who
swears profanely in his public speeches.
And If it is he, where is his Spotless
Ermine? We do not want to chuckle
over it, but we see nothing spOtless here.
He looks very much like the speakers
who have formerly addressed audiences
OF the unterrlfied In Tammany Hall and
elsewhere on the East Side. And really.
if he has no Spotless Ermine, why didnt
he send around TO his running mate
ROesch and borrow some, with LexOw
certificate of purity?
But is this indeed Judge Gaynor, who
magnified himself for what he did to
John Y McKaDe. and who now hobnobs
with and accepts nominations from those
whose habitual practices are such as
would by contrast make McKane's deeds
seem negligible peccadilloes? 'Oh, yOn
people, Ito think that you have SO long
been altogether miStaking your man and
behold him as he is "Oh. We men of
Manhattan" likewise of Brooklyn and
Barren Island, we fear you do not al
ways know what is occurring right
among YOU.

but ''aboye suspicion"
NOW can judge (being a human beinr,
administer justice with the even scales OF
the blind goddess when one eve or both
eyes are wide open to see the effect OF his
decisions upon friends and foes and upon
MS popularity and status as a candidate
for an elective office?
Now can he impartially and Justly de-
eiae labor union and similar cases?
The Supreme Court justices should not he
subjected &c this temptation In the alb
senee of constitutional or legal prohibi-
ton. such a candidacy by justices on the
bench should be prohibited by lawyers and
public opinion until the lapse of a reason
able period (say. three or five years. after
the expiration OF their term of Office.
Constitutional amendment or a statute
should be enacted circulating this princi-

support for an elective political office.
