TAFT ADMINISTRATION LINES UP
FOR COMMISSION PLAN FOR
TARIFF.
IOWA DELEGATION WILL
RALLY TO ITS SUPPORT
Senate Which Will Have Effect Of
Firmly Establishing Iowa Idea as a
Part of the National Policy-7ut Ono
Iowa Representative to Be Opposed.

Special to Times Republican.
DeS Moines, Dec. S.-Among the ac-
tive republicans of this part of Iowa
there is much qualification over the
final acceptance by the national ad-
ministration of the keystone of the ia
nous Iowa idea OF tariff revision-the
tariff commission plan of attacking in
dividual schedules.
The plan will have the support of
the Iowa delegation in congress almost
unanimously A reported poll of the
Iowa delegation showed only one menu
Der opposed TO the tariff commission.
The tariff commission idea and that OF
attacking one schedule at a time was
part of the original Iowa idea, and that
part Of it which was at the very foun-
dation of the plan for taking the graft
out of the tariff. without which moth
ing could be accomplished. When Gov
ernor Cummins pushed the tariff re-
vision idea on u business basis he was
bitterly fought in Iowa and derided ana
scorned IN the offices of the Amer
lean protective trust league. or what
ever il was called. Now: so 1t seems
from the dispatches, the basis OF the
whole scheme is accepted and has be-
come the administration program.
Come Up Today.
The Two resolutions which Senator
Cum.nns will introduce in the senate
today. -ul details of which were given
in TINS correspondence more than 4
week ago both have relation TO firmly

vision as a part OF me national policy,
Senator Cuumins, before he Went east,
indicated that he felt yer! sure of the
adoption OF at least one Of these resolu-
tons. that conhning amendments to

Makes a Pint of Finest
Cough Syrup
Cheap and Effective, Too.

The most effective and economical
cough syrup can be made at home
by any one, and in this day OF high
prices for foodstuff and clothing
any family can appreciate a saving
even on a necessity like cough
syrup.
First, obtain Of any well-stocked
druggist two and one-half ounces
Of essence Mentho- laxene. Empty
it into a pint bottle. Then take a
pint Of granulated sugar, add half
pint Of boiling water, put on fire
and let come to a boil. Cool and
pour in bottle Shake the mixture
well and take a teaspoonful every
hour or two until cough is broken
up; then take whenever necessary.
Give children less according to age.
This mixture will break up cold
and cure a cough much more rapid
~ than any ordinary mixture, be-
cause it is not constipatfng. but
laxative IN action when to 10 doses
are taken daily. II your druggist
does not have mentho-laxene, he
can obtain it for you from the
wholesale firms Try this splendid
recipe and you will never want any
thing better.

New York, April 16.-(Special.)-As the price of meat started downward in the mast "A hours meat dealers and importers announced that they have discovered the solution to the high cost of living puzzle They intend importing meat In great quantities from Australia and Argentine Republic just as England does. Then instead of being compelled to buy so- called meat trust products, paying trust prices, the dealers get meat, which they claim is of the same quality at from to 6 cents per pound cheaper.
 The meat trust made Its first hostile today to check the incipient irn- portation of beef, mutton and pork, when pians were made to ask the government tc stop the influx of foreign meat on the ground that 1t was not properly inspected
 At least a score of meat dealers in Brooklyn who have taken advantage of the Australian beef today started to un- dersell the houses relying on the beef tlust The beef trust gets its meat from western and Mexican cattle, while, if Australian importations grow, this meat will probably be landed upon the Pacific coast and sent east by rail While Eng land relies very largely upon Australia and Argentina for It's meat. the distance to the United States is much less than 1t Is to England.

Rome, April 16.-(Special. .)-What is known as the Paterson group of anarch- ists by the European secret police, has agents following Theodore Roosevelt for the purpose of assassinating him. This statement was made to me today by man high in the Italian secret police who had much to do in protecting the famous American while he was in Italy. The statement was made as a result of the reported arrest of an anarchist at Chiasso. Switzerland, under suspicious scircurnstancess
 About the time of MT. Eooseveit's ar- rival at Khartoum, word was received from the United States to the effect that an anarchists emissary had left that country, presumably for the purpose of doing harm to the noted traveller, and the secret police were requested to take every precaution. More than this, some of the hest men in the United States secret ser vice have been quietly watching MT. Roosevelt since his arrival at Cairo, and will watch over him until his arrival in New York.
 No more elaborate preparations for pro- lection against assassination have ever been taken in Italy. even for the Czar of Russia, than have been taken in the case of MT. Roosevelt, and the same will be

UNDER WOOD WILL
 BE FLOOR LEADER

Washington. April 16.-(Special) )-Al- though the democrats are counting their chickens before they are matched, they have already unoffcially selected a floor leader for the House of Representatives in case the next House is democratic. He is Representative oscar Underwood of Alabama. Minority Leader Champ Clark has already been selected as the speaker in case the democrats are successful.
 Representative Underwood was amused today when asked what he would do when he was made floor leader.
 That Is at least one bridge which I am not going to cross beforehand" said he. Wait until the democrats get control and then wait until MT. Clark is elected speaker and then we shall consider who Is to take up the duties so ably rendered to the republicans by Representative Mann"
 MT. Underwood has been in the House for nearly Is years. He was first sent to Congress from Alabama when he was g years old and seems more popular in his district now than he was when he was first elected.

the case in all the countries through which he travels in Europe. It will be next to impossible for an assassin tosget close enough to the ex-President to harm him, and, be 1t said, MT. Roosevelt Is an extremely difficult man to guard. He seems to be perfectly fearless, and While in Italy took chap,es which gave those to whom was entrusted the task Of look ing out for his safety many an unhappy half hour. I understand, however, that both he and his son have been induced to arm themselves with automatic revol- vers. and In case of trouble they would be very likely to- give good account of themselves.
 The Italian police declare the idea of the assassination of MT. Roosevelt is sole ly to strike terror to the hearts of the European rulers. and If the assassins are not able to accomplish their purpose be- fore he embarks for America he will not be molested.
 From the time Mir Roosevelt was po- lice commissioner in New York and up to the end of his term as President he was a persistent enemy of the Black Flanders, Mafia. and terrorlsts in America, and he was in thorough sympathy with the inter- national crusade against these organiza- tions Therefore, it is question of re- venge as well as desire to make an ex- ample to kings and potentates by killing him, despite all precautions taken to se- cure his safety.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 IS UNDER ATTACK

Chicago April Especial )-Attacks upon the Illinois Central railroad were begun in court today as the result of the investigation of transactions between the railroad and various car, railroad supply and equipment companies, whose bills the road refuses to pay until the inquiry into alleged frauds amounting to millions, started by President Harahan, is concluded.
 The Blue Island Rolling Mill and Car company, whose relations with the llli- nois Central were among those inquired into by detectives. is the first of the con cerns to proceed against the railroad.
 "The railroad company should either proceed against companies and individuals if it has evidence of any graft, fraud, or conspiracy, without any delay. or should pay it's bills at once,' said official of the Blue Island Rolling Mill and Car company today This four-hushing is merely to excuse non-payment and hold ing up of bills, and must be stopped. For that reason the suit has been brought"
 One of the Illinois Central employees implicated in the alleged steals from the railroad confessed his share in the trans actions, and was promised immunity. ac- cording to a report this afternoon. He Is asserted to have gone to President Harahans office and in the presence of Detective Burns to have told all he knows of graft to the extent of s5,0o0,000, nam ing number of other men. The confess sion will lead to startling developments. A number of prominent officials and business men are said to be implicated In the big graft to be aired by the courts.

OF HIGH COST OF
 LIVING PUZZLE DISCOVERED

It was announced today that aside from the lower price of foreign meat the cost of living was gradually declining in Greater New York. Since April i pork has fallen nearly $2 pc rbarrel and hogs S2 per hundred weight.
 Sayles Zahn, owner of a chain of meat shops, declared today that the trust could be forced to lower prices by importing foregn-grown meat.
 'The Australian meat Is better than the trust beef" said he. "In addition to this. we are able to undersell at the rate of from to 6 cents per pound"
 The Zahn houses have brought In 800 sheep, 5000 lambs and 1000 sides of beef within the past two days, and have 2OO0 sides of beef on the way now, not to mem rion options en 100000 sheep and nearly as many cattle.
 The sudden dropping in prices, due to imported meat in the poorer sections of tne city, nearly resulted in rioting, so overjoyed were the people, some of whom had been unable to afford meat as a diet fer weeks.
 The butchers and meat dealers are talking of banding together for the im- portation In order to contest any actior, which the trust may start. It is feared that the trust will wait until the meat dealers have a great deal of imported meat on hand and then break the prices 50 that it must all be sold at loss.
