PROTEST ON TARIFF.
Smclters of Pittsburg Send Resolutions
TO Kansas Delegation.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 26.-The Pitts
burg Commercial club has adopted reso-
lutions which will be sent to Senators
Bristow and Curtis and to Congressman
Campbell and all other congressman from
Kansas protesting against any blows be-
ing struck in the new tariff bill against
the smelling industry of Pittsburg. The
Commercial club took this action at the
request of Pittsburg smelling men. who
declare the future of the smelling indus
try is imperiled. The demand is made
that the tariff on ore be reduced or the
tariff on spelter increased. AS it now
stands, congress proposes to both in
crease the ore tariff and lower the spelter
tariff which would mean, according to
local Smelter men, the wiping out of the
smelling industry. President Lipman of
the Commercial club presented to the club
a telegram which he had received from
A. B. Cockereu, who is in Washington,
owner of the Cockerell smelters here, re-
garding the tariff tax on spelter as well
take action. The resolution as adopted
was wired to Senators Curtis and Bristow
and Congressman Campbell. The meeting
was a special held today.

raid on a crap game in progress at the
Whitley hotel during the pale gray
hours of the morning, resulted in war
rants for five town boys and two
strange men J. NJ. Dunlavy, who had
been giving temperance lectures in the
city, happened to be on hand when the
raid took place, and his presence allow
ed him to acquire such stage properties
as a whisky bottle, and cigarette max
ms and snipes.
Mr.. Dunlavy had a room on the third
floor of the Whitley Saturday night
AS he prepared to retire about O'Clock
his mind was full of temperance
thoughts for the next morning, and II
was not till he was ready to turn in
that he heard a murmur of voices and
a rattle of bones in the room next to
his, and connected by door At
times the voices grew boisterous, and
there was loud swapping of fingers and
wheezy gruntings. and then the sound
would subside, only to break out in
loud crescendo again. Mr.. Dunlavy
knew what shooting craps was, so he
knew what was happening on the other
side of the door. He tried to go to
sleep but the noise prevented him. After
tossing about for awhile, he sent up
prayer for the gamblers, and soon af-
terward dropped off to sleep. Later he
AWOke at the sound of a loud guffaW,
and as he regained consciousness he
realized that the game was still on He
looked at his watch and saw it was
a. m. Mr.. Dunlavy slipped on his clothes
and went downstairs. In the office the
clerk was snoring Sweetly. He walked
out into the fresh air of the morning,
and just a little later into the arms of
a policeman. He explained the situa-
ton. The policeman called Acting Mar
shal Raymond, who was at home in bed,
and officer Raymond, with Officer Woos-
ter and Armstead returned to the hotel
with Mr.. Dunlavy. The clerk continued
to sleep audibly, but lest he awake,
officer Wooster remained to see that
there were no tips dispensed. On the
third floor, officer Armstead took his
stand at the hall door of the room with
the light, while Officer Raymond ac-
companied Mr.. Dunlavy into his room.
With his ear to the door between the
rooms, officer Raymond listened.
Shoot a dollar" came the words, and
then silence save for the clicking of the
bones.
officer Raymond applied his 22O
pounds with his shoulder as a lever,
and the door smashed open. Gathered
around the bed, which was in the mid
die of the room, eight men looked up
with faces a s wild as when a bunch of
f1edglings are assaulted in their nest,
and helpless, cannot fly. -@ 'A
