G. P. 0. Blamed for Preventing
Tariff Document.
CONTRARY SENSE GIVEN
Decrease of $4,000, 900 900 in Duty
Made to Read Increase" on
Necessities.

Members Of Congress who. in defense
of their votes for the measure. have been
sending out Senate document 10 as an
argument in favor of the Aldrich-Pa
tariff law need not he surprised at the
sudden development OF strong opposition
to the law.
And il will be due to the distribution
Of the document by the congressman who
have been thus trying to set themselves
right.
1t was discovered this morning that
the pamphlet. supposed to be bullet in
the fight for control of the House by
those who held sway when the tariff bill
was passed. is boomerang. Instead of
getting on the target of the opposition,
it turns and hits the sender.
Strenuous efforts are being made at the
Capitol today by the document rooms of
both houses and by Senate and House
leaders 10 suppress the document.
Marked Suppressed"
Copies which reached the hands Of the
newspaper men in bold letters on the
outside were marked suppressed.
There is hustle to get hold Of all copies
which have left the document rooms and
which have not yet reached their destina-
ton.
The document contains an article on
The Payne Tariff Law" prepared by
Representative Samuel w. Mccall. Ii
was asked to be printed by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,. so that it could
be sent free through the malls. 1t was
intended to present strong arguments In
behalf Of the new tariff law.
When Representative Cooper. chairman
of the House committee on printing. was
reading the document yesterday ne was
startled by coming across this state
ment:
1T appears that duties had been in
creased upon necessary articles con-
sumed by the American people to the
amount of $1,000. 900 worth annually,
while they had been increased upon neces-
sary articles consumed to the amount of
only $273.O0O,OOO each year"
Made to Read Wrong.
An increase Of 5000. 900. 900 on neces-
saries! That was what startled the
House member.
Decreased by 5000. 600. OOO." it should
have read. That was what Representa-
tive Mccall wrote in the article.
The error was called to the attention of
the House document room. The Senate
room was in turn notified. The suppress
sion Of the publication was Immediately
ordered.
The government printing office Is charg-
ed with the error. At Senator Lodge
ONCE today 1t was stated that the copy
for the article, as sent to the govern
ment printing Office, read decreased in
regard to the -billion-d0llar statement.
A new print of the document. as it
was intended to read, has been ordered.
Copies will be sent broadcast, so any
misunderstanding by the public may be
corrected

Without stopping for orders and yell

chine guns had been placed. The move
ment Of Mena served as a signal for q

The defenders, depending on their rifles
only. were unable to repulse the attack
ers. Suddenly abandoning their trenches
the government troops fell back before
Mena's advancing men and charged the
advancing armies under Chamorro and
Diaz.
Mena pushed his attack on Gonzales

In that ten minutes frightful execution
was done. Scores were killed outright
and the wounded covered the summit of

IMMENSE PIE FOR TAFT

citation Coming in an Iron Bound
Locked Box.

Speeding toward Washington from New
York is huge Christmas pie. in charge
Of a special guard Of honor and directed
to William Howard Taft, White House.
The pie is thirty-eight inches in diam
eter. weighs ninety-two pounds and is
made of the best mincemeat procurable.
1t had not reached Washington at 3
o'clock this afternoon, although it left
New York early this morning. 1t is the
gift Of the International Bakers Associa-
ton to the President Of the United States
and is in the nature Of q compensation
for the loss Of the THANKSGIVING pie,
which disappeared In transit.
The Pie That Was Lost.
The disappearance of that Thanksgiv-
ing pie is still something Of q mystery.
although the bakers have an inkling as
to what happened. That pie left New
York in charge of two employees of a
New York bakery. 1t is believed that q
tramp stole the pie while the messengers
were away from the car in which it was
being carried. Rather than face the
modification the two bakers dropped on
at Baltimore and have been working Their !,
ever since.
This time the International Bakers As
ISOLATION locked the presidential pie up in
an iron-bound box and gave the key to
two messengers Of the express company
by which the pie was shipped. Only the
President or the White House chef will
be allowed to receipt for It, Some time
tonight the pie will land in the White
House.

How he and his 600 men got through

Fighting Was Real.
Mena Turns Tide Of Battle.

But for the timely arrival OF Gen.
Msna 1t 10 quite possible that the out.
come Of the battle would have been
wholly different. Indeed, at one time
the position Of the insurgents was des-
perate.
Chamorro and Diax had moved on the
main fortifcations at Recreo and Ia
tumbla hill. Mena was under orders to
cover the lines OF retreat from Recreo.
Mena had moved up the Rama river.
His 600 men were weak from the SUD-
seouent march and failed to effect the
expected junction with the other armies
OF the insurgents when the assault be-
gan.
They encountered roads knee deep
with red clay and overgrown with
tropical plants. through which they cut
a way with their machetes. But their
progress was slow.
Chamorro became uneasy and dis
patched q messenger with this urgent
command:
Come quickly or the day goes against
u.s.
The day was going against the pro-
visionals. The enemy fell on every
side, but Chamorro discerned that at
best he was but holding his own.
