the intention Of laying their report be-
fore President Taft. who had gone to
Fort Mver To see what had been intend

All day long the conferees had strue
gled with the question Of bringing down
the House rates on gloves and the Sem
ate rates on lumber to figures they felt
would meet with executive approval In
This effort the conference failed and
they appeared to appreciate the fact.
Lumber was made dutiable at rates
only q little below those named By the
Senate bin, and there was ! very slight
shading from the House rates on gloves
Of good quality. Although il was MT
admitted By the conIerees, the general
impression drawn from the hurried trip
to Fort Myar was that the Messrs. AID
rich and Payne had been authorized by
their colleagues to incorporate in the
conference report such figures as could
be agreed upon by the President IN So

the leaders believe win be acceptable in
the House and Senate.

ing picture show last evening and while
IN the show a man, unknown to either

them and scraped an acquaintance. On

some money to buy candy and then said
that as they all lived on South Main
street he would walk with them.
They reached point opposite Lough-
heed's plumbing shop, which is the next
building to the residence of the Coutts
family, when the man told young Robert
TO run along home. as hc wished 70 talk
TO his sister. The boy had no more
than reached the door, which Is but
few rods away, when the screams Of his
sister startled the parents and neiehbors.
Mr. Coutts ran out and in the direction
Of the sounds and nearly caught the
man, who was attempting to drag his
daughter up the steep bank behind the
plumbers shop
Upon seeing Mr.. Coutts, the man loos.
ened his hold upon the girl and attempt
ed to run up the bank Being unable to
DO this. he ran around the shop, with
Mr. Coutts directly behind him. The
angry father was, however, unable to
oyertake he man, although he chased
him to Elmwood avenue, az which point
be was hopelessly distanced.
The little girl said this morning that
as soon as her brother left them the
man seized her clothes and began drag
ging her up the hank and that when
she screamed he tried to cover her mouth
and threatened her. The children de-
scribe the man as being Of about average
height. from 20 to 25 years of age, and
wearing light trousers, dark coat, and
derby hat He was dark compledoned
and wore no beard
Some of the neighbors who heard the
girls screams ran out, bnt not soon

sisting a wage reduction Of six pense q
day, was concluded yesterday and re-
