of the sickness in his family mentioned
last week.
What are we to think OF those wOm-
en- who visited John Junken, one of
the most tiendish criminals that ever
damned civilization, and bestowed
flowers and fruit upon him? Had they
thus gathered about the pale, sweet
corpse of Clara Rosen and laid those
flowers upon her casket it would have
been fitting tribute to her martyred
innocence, but to hand them through
the prison bars to the black degener-
ate who beat her brains out with a
stone seemed so revolving to common
sense and decency that we're some ne
gro to be encouraged by their insane
exhibition of sympathy and initiate
the deed of Junken, making one of
them his victim. it would seem like the
just consequence of disgusting beha-
vior.

Writer Again Taken Into Gus
tody for KIDNAPPING His
Stepson. !.

New York, June 2e. = Broughton
Brandenburg was acquitted today on
the charge of grand larceny growing
out of the sale to the New York Times
of the article purporting to have been
over the signature of Grover Cieve-
land. He was at once arrested on the
charge of kidnapping his step-son, James
Shepard Cahanne, in St. Louis.
Widow Again ON Stand.
New York, June 29--Mrs. Frances
Folsom Cleveland, widow of Grover
Cleveland, came down from her sum-
mer home at Tamworth, N. H., yester-
day, to appear as, witness against
Brandenburg. This time Mrs. Cleve-
land was called in rebuttal. Mrs.
Cleveland actual testimony took only
about 10 minutes, but she was forced
to sit through long legal wrangles be-
fore being allowed to say yes or no.
Assistant District Attorney Mott wish
ed to show by her that although she
had been with her husband at the time
|-when, according to Brandenburg, Mr..
Cleveland wrote the article in ques-
ton, she never heard her husband
mention the matter. Justice Fitzger-
aid ruled out this testimony.
Declares 1t Conspiracy.
Oswald N. Jacoby, summing up for
| Brandenburg, yesterday referred at
| considerable length to the fact that F.
S. Hastings, executor for the Cleve-
land estate, though called before the
| grand jury, was not called as a wit
ness by the district attorney. He de-
clared that there had been powerful
Interests at work to attack the au-
| thenticity of the article and said that
former Secretary of the Treasury
John G. Carlisle and President Finley
of the City college had made up their
minds to discredit the article if possi-
BILE. "And the only way open to them
was to attack the only living man who
really knows whether Mr.. Cleveland
wrote it or not.''

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, June 26.-"President
Taft and the standpat republican
newspapers profess to believe there
will be no wholesale lowering of tariff
rates when the Payne-Aldrich bill
reaches conference. Do you think
so?"
put this question to the Hon
Champ Clark, leader of the minority
in the house, and the man who is be-
ing talked of in congressional circles
rs the logical democratic candidate for
president in 1912. Mr.. Clark will him
self serve on the conference commit
lee that is to have the last say in the
framing of the new tariff bill.
VIII Wake Up Then.
What do | think of the prospects
of Improvement of the tariff bill in
Conference said the minority leader,
looking up from a desk piled high with
tariff, hearings. why, l think this:
that an those credulous persons who
are expecting a marked lowering of
duties when the tariff bill gets into
conference will finally wake up and
find that they are woefully mistaken.
Here is the situation: The Payne
bill raised the Dingley rates consid
erably and the Aldrich bill, so far
materially increases the Payne rates
All that the conferees can legitimatelS
consider are the rates of the Payne
| bill and the rates of the Aldrich bill
Query No. /: If the rates of botf
| the Payne bill and Aldrich bill arc
higher than the rates of the Dingley
bill. how can any compromise by the
| ccnferees as to the Payne and Aldricf
rates result in rates lower than ths
Dingley bill?
| Query No. q: Does anybody will
any sort of claim to a reputation fol
lveracity assert that the republican,
lrromised last year to. increase th'
Dingley rates or that congress wa
convened in extraordinary session {,
increase them?

Senator Root. in connection with the
corporation tax message is still caus-
ing considerable merriment among
the progressives. The president in
his message to congress, arguing
against an income tax, used this Ian
gUage:
Again, it is clear that by enacting
the proposed law, the congress will not
be bringing money into the treasury 70
meet the present deficiency. but, by
putting on the statute books law al
simply be suggesting to the executive
officers of the government their pos.
sible duty to invoke litigation"
That is, the president and his legal
advisers assumed that the income tax
OF 1894 was still ION the statute books
and never repealed" The facts are
that the income tax law of 1894 by its
own terms, was to run for only five
years, and was to expire by limitation
on January l, 1900. 1t has not been
on the statute books for almost 10
years; and it needed no repeal. be

Investigators of the Eastman

Their Work.
VERDICT is AN OPEN ONE
Authorities Hold Theory That WO-
man Had Been Blackmailed
for Number of Years.

ST. Michaels, June 29.-With the
compromise verdict of the coroner's
jury that Robert E. Eastman either
killed or was accessory to the murder
of May Woodill and the declaration Of
States Attorney Taylor that he was
through with the case, the strange dual
focused the eyes of the entire country
upon this little out of the. way hamlet
of Maryland's famous eastern shore

Give Shadow of Doubt.
Four of the 12 jurors who listened
to the testimony at the reopened in
quest to sign the verdict and the words
''or accessory to the crime were added
to the draft which, by the majority,
bluntly accused Eastman of the muir
der. None of the four dissenting jury
men would say that any other person
than Eastman was responsible for the
girls death. They merely wished to
protest, they said, against the manner
in which the inquiry was conducted, de
claring that much available evidence
was not adduced.
No one was seen about the bunga
low on the Sunday when Mrs. WoOdil
was slain. There was absolutely nc
evidence that any one other than
Eastman could have been responsible
for the crime.
The Theory of Authorities.
Thte final theory of the authorities
| is this:
That Eastman was i'm need of money
| that he probably had been getting mon
ey from Mrs. Woodill for some time
that he undoubtedly knew something
| of her past life and that he had beer
| blackmailing her; that he attempted Il
continue this practice and that the wo
| man rebelled, intimating that she, too
had found out certain things abou
| Eastman and that if driven to it would
expose him. Eastman's dread of serv
ing term in the penitentiary is wei
known. His wife has said that he tol,
her he would rather commit suicid,
than be confined in prison. The pawn

to why Mrs Woodill went to the bun
