Emphasizing the Importance Of in

Iowa, late yesterday made public a
statement which is accepted as rep

majority OF the progressive" Repub-

situation with regard to the tariff
bill.
Previously Mr. .Cummins had been
IN consultation for two hours with
the President and an exchange o.
Views had passed between Mr.. Cum

against the tariH bfll in the Senate.
The pronounc cement IS evidently in
tended TO meet the idea that the
Pres Gent and the downward reyis

placed upon the so-called raw ma

pi1nd the public That neither the
Presidents statement nor our fight

While g is the utmost importance
that iron ore. oil. hides and coal be
dealt with as proposed by the Presi-
dent, Il is Of still greater importance
that ths duties on manufactured
products shall be brought down

II will be of little advantage to the

WILEIE is PUT ON the GRILL
CHIEF OF THE SECRET SERVICE
is oUlzzED BY coNoREssMEN.
He Declares that counterfeiting In
creased Rapidly During the
Past Year.

Washington, Jan. 2S.--What is de.
scribed as one of the most thrilling
hearings of this session took place
yesterday in the rooms of the house
committee on appropriations when
the subcommittee in charge of the
drafting of the sundry civil approprla-
tion bill had Chief Wilkie of the Sc.
cret service on the witness stand, to
furnish information concerning the
conduct of his Office. He was freely
questioned by the members whose
names have figured in the secret ser
vice controversy with the president.
The significant fact was brought
ont at the hearing that although the
limitation placed upon the expendi-
ture of the money for secret service
last year in the appropriation bill re-
duced the number of men employed
by the secret service under Chief Will
kie by nine, those same nine men
were placed on the rolls of the de-
partment of justice. The secret SER
vice in the department of justice was
described as consisting of 25 men in
addition to the nine dropped by the
treasury department secret service.
Chief Willxie stated that counter
feiting had increased rapidly during
the recent financial stringency and
that there was much need of an in
crease to $135,000 of the approprla-
tion of $115,000 of last year.

OBTAINED A DEFINITE CLUE
DAYTON POLICE CLAIM MAN OF
MYSTERY KILLED GIRL.
He Is Said to Have Been Seen Fro
quently Near the Scene Of
the Murder.

Dayton, o., Jan. 2S.-The police
now have a definite clue to the mur
derer of Mary Forschner in this city
last Saturday night. The black
bruises on the throat Of the murdered
girl established the fact that her
slayer has enormous and powerful
hands and, acting on this indication
the officers have ascertained that a
n2an about six feet three inches In
height has been a mysterious char
acter in the neighborhood of the
crime for about four months preced.
ing the murder.
Inquiry develops the fact that while
many have seen the man and noted
his strange actions, no person has
yet been found who has seen his face,
which las either been turned away
froE those whom he encountered on
the streets, or partly covered with a
handkerchief. Since the night of the
tragedy the suspect has not been
seen, but diligent search is now on
foot In the belief that, when this
man Is found. the guilt can be
fastened on him.
The fact that he so carefully con.
oealed his features and was seen fre.
quently near one or group of young
girls, gives rise to the suspicion that
the moral peryorsion necessarily
present In a crime such as this may
account for his pecularties. Police
OF other cities havN been asked 10
look for such a man.
