SENATE SEES NO END
TO WORK ON TARIFF

Washington, June 21.-Although the
senate made much progress during the
past week in considering the tariff bill.
the date of the final vote is as indefiite
as it was week ago.
The possibility of sending the bill
back to the house by the first of July
is now considered remote.
The discussion of the duty on hides
will occupy the senate for possibly a
day or two. The wood pulp amend
ment offered by the finance committee.
which practically doubles the duty on
wood pulp, will then be taken up.
After these two schedules have been
disposed of. it is understood that the
tax on corporations, proposed by Pres
ident Taft, will occupy the attention
of the senate for several days.
The lumber schedule and the rates
on pig and scrap iron and wire nails
remain to be disposed of.
The question of free cotton bagging
and ties and binding Irvine is certain
to result in an interesting discussion.

liberation made by Judge Lawlor.
But five ballots were taken py the
inrv. as it developed. and three OF
these we're within the first three hours
after deliberation commenced. Upon
the first vote the jury stood eight for
acouittal and four for conviction. Two

his position.
After ordering the discharge OF the

the edge of the platform nearest the
Jury box and addressed to the twelve
men some informal remarks criticizing
severely the laws and usages that made
possible the expenditure of three
months in the impeachment of jury
and congratulating and thanking them
upon their worth as citizens. He de-
clared that the courts were utterly
helpless to prevent such occurrences
and recommended that the legislature

SAYS AMERICANS
SHOULD NOT BE DUPED

New York, June 22.-Diseussion Of
the political problems confronting the
country through the development Of
the power of large corporations is made
in vigorous language by former Presi
dent Roosevelt in his article in last
week Outlook.
Mr.. Roosevelt says it never behooves
our people to be duped by designing
men, who appeal to the reverence to-
ward given name in order to achieve
some alien purpose. Many excellent
people have been taken in by the use
of the word liberty" says Mr.. Roose-
welt. Cali forms of tyranny and cru
city must alike be condemned by hon.
est men.
If business is hurt by the stern ex-
posure Of crookedness and the result OF
efforts to punish the crooked men, then
business must be hurt, even though
good men are involved in the hurting
''It is essential that we should wrest
the control of the government out OF
the hands of rich men, who use it Tor
unhealthy purposes, and should Keep
it out of their hands; and to this END
the first requisite is to provide means
adequately to deal with corporations
which are essential to modern business
which, under the directions OF the
courts and because of the shortsighted.
ness of ltheYpubhc. have been the chlel
factor in political and business debase'
ment.
''But it would be just as bad to pu.
the government into the hands o.
demagogues and Missionaries, who seek
to pander to ignorance and pre]ualce
by penalizing thrift and business en'
terpise and running all men OF MEANS
with, as an attendant result, the ruu
