Democrats Will Make
Tariff Rates Main Issue

(By Clyde II. Tayenner, special
Washington Correspondent Of the
chieftain.)
Washington, Sept. lS.-vWhen a wo-
man purchases $40 worth Of woolen
dress goods, y4.s7 represents the value
Of the goods and sb.i5 the amount Of
the tariff.
This IL because Of the Payne-AldrIch
ad yalorem tariff Of iO5 per cent. Or
in other words, on each 81 worth Of
woolen dress goods imported, the
payne.Aldrlch law leyies a tax Of
sIo6. The consumer must pay the 81
value and the si05 tariff. Or s2.05 for
one dollars worth Of goods.
This Is but one Of thousand Illus
trationa that could be submitted to
show how the tariff affects the cost Of
living.
Here Is another sample illustration
for the tariff arithmetic class. which
is composed OF some 9O,00O.0O0 Amer
ican consumers, all OF whom are more
or less dissatisfied with the awful in
crease In prices:
A suit OF clothes having an import
price Of $40, and which costs an Eng
lishman $40 when ready TO put on, all
wool and tailor made, pays at the Gus
tom house an ad valorem tariff OF 80
par cent or se per suit. making the
suit cost the American when II Is put
on sis. disregarding transportation
and retail profits
Another comparison: An English
woman carpeting q room IS feet
square with ingram carpet two ply
would be 80 yards at dollar yard
fiat, or would pay sse. An American
woman using the same carpet would
pay s2s7e tariff at the custom house,
which would make the carpet cost her

ment and to Onset Dralns Due to
Higher Wages.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The struggle
between the railroads and shippers
over the ruling which provides sweep
ing advances in freight rates by the
eastern trunk lines will be resumed
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission today, the shippers occupying
the field. The hearing comes over
form the last month when the rail-
roads rested their case.
The case primarily affects several
thousand articles embraced in what
is known as class rates moving as an
immense traffic through the official
classification territory; the sweep Of
railroad domain that embraces New
England, the middle states and over
to the Illinois-1ndiana line and north
Of Ohio and Potomac River. But the
hearing may extend to wider scope.
Horizontal increases proposed in the
tariff on these articles of freight are
urged by railroads as necessary to
enable them to secure greater net in
come for dividend and improvement
purposes and to the need that rail-
roads magnates charged up to drains
on operating revenues mainly through
recent wage increases ON their lines
and legislative burdens. Shippers at
tack wholesale advances as unjust
and unreasonable and through their
representatives they have marshalled
mass of testimony.

GREAT FALLS PADDED
Had Only Two.Thirds of Reported
Population

Washington, Nov. 21-Frauds in the
census enumeration of Great Falls,
Mont, were the subject Of detailed
exposure in statement issued by
Director OF the Census Durand. The
statement follows:
"The original schedules of the emu
merators for Great Falls showed a
total of 23.324 inhabitants. but in
vestigation showed extensive frauds
and on remuneration the correct
population was found to be 14,948, or
1876 less than the original returns.
This population of 14,94S shows a
decrease as compared with the report
ed population of 1900, which was
1890. Examination of the schedules
for 1900 also indicates that there were
extensive frauds in that census, which
however, were not disclosed at that
time. There is no doubt. from facts
ascertained by the official representa-
tives Of the census bureau, who were
sent to Great Falls, that there has
been considerable increase in the
population during the past ten years.
1.-THE frauds in Great Falls were
confined to three of twelve enumera-
tion districts. In these three districts
more than sixty per cent of the names
originally returned were fraudulent.
Four enumerators were concerned, an
enumerator from another district hav-
ing been employed to assist. Prosecu-
tions were brought. Two of the emu
merators pleaded guilty to the in

COUNT TO[ST0|
DIED SUNDAY
Great Aristocratic Lover of the
Common People Had a
Tragic Death

Astapova, Nov. 21.-Count Leo Toll
stoi died peacefully Sunday morning.
Er. Makovetsky and other attending
physicians and Countess Tolstoi were
at his side when the end came. 1t
was recognized long before that his
case was hopeless and at 5 o'clock in
the morning, after the countess had
been summoned and other members
of the family had gathered in an ad-
Joining room, the physicians issued q
bulletin announcing that the activity
of the heart had almost ceased and
that Tolstois condition was extreme
ly dangerous. Several Of the physi-
clans were greatly overcome by the
approaching death of Russia's great
writer.
Tolstoi, accompanied only by DR..
Makovetsky, left his home at Yasnaya
Poliana, for the purpose Of ending
his days in the solitude to which he
was more and more inclined during
his later years. His pilgrimage led
him to the monastery at Shamardine
in the province of Kaluga, where he
remained as guest of his sister,
Marie, who is nun in the cloister.
discovered he insisted upon proceed
ing on his journey to Caucasus, where
he hoped to spend his last days close
to the Tolstoian colony on the shores
of the Black sea. But during the rail-
road journey he was overcome with
exhaustion and cold, and DR.. Mako
vetsky was compelled to have him
transferred to the flag station at As
tapova, where he was made as COM
Portable as possible in the rude wood
en- building.
For five days he had lain there suf-
fering first from bronchitis and after
wards from inflammation Of the lungs.
Specialists were called from Moscow
and other places, but notwithstand-
ing their utmost efforts the heart of
the great Russian responded but
feebly to restoratives and stimulants.
On Saturday attacks of heart failure
increased alarmingly and many hours
given up all hope.
Countess in Sick Room.
Countess Tolstoi was admitted to
the sick room for the first time Sat-
urday night, but her husband failed to
recognize her. She had hastened to
his bedside when she learned several
days ago that his illness was serious,
but the physicians had deemed it ad-
visable that she be kept away from
the count. fearing that her presence
might cause the patient emotion.
Other members of the family were
from time to time admitted to his
presence, and his daughter, Alexan-
dra, has been in constant attendance.
Story of His Life.
Count Lyof Nikelaivitch Tolstoi,
usually called Count Leo Tolstoi, nov
elist and social reformer, was born
Aug. 20, 1928, at Yasnaye Poliana, in
the province OF Tula, Russia. When
% years old he entered the army and
served in the Caucasus and in the
defense OF Sebastopol against the
British and French allied forces. He
first made a reputation IN literature
by q series of vivid sketches written
from Sebastopol. When he left the
army soon after the Crimean war he
devoted himself entirely to literature

hours and fined $3.50 and the third
received forty eight hours in jail and
5000 fine. The fourth enumerator es-
capped on technicality, namely, the
fact that for his work in this enumara-
ton district he had no commission
or oath OF Office.
How Census Vas Padded
THE method Of fraud pursued con-
sisted for the most part in assignment
of large numbers OF names to vacant
lots. hotels, lodging houses and pri-
vate residences in which no such per-
sons were actually present at the
time Of the enumeration.
"Tae larger part of the names thus
falsely enumerated were placed in the
hands of the enumeratcrs by pri-
vate individuals, having been collect
cd on privately printed slips contain
ing the census questions. 1t appears
that at least part of these names
were those Of perAons who were pass
ing through Great Falls, who were
there only temporarily and were not
entitled to enumeration there. The
sources of some of the other names
fraudulently added has not been as
certained.
Mcdonald, enumerator for district
twenty-six. reported 529 names from
the Todd block, but in the re-enumera-
ticn the manager Of the building stat
ed that not to exceed twenty-five per-
sons could have been present there
during the original enumeration.
Mcdonald also reported 225 persons
as residents at the house Of Lee Ford,
private citizen with four members
in his family. He reported 51S names
from 40S Central avenue. building
consisting of store with six rooms
above 1t. This enumerator also re-
ported 105 persons resident on va
cant lot. EnuneTators Daily and
| Martin in enumeration district twen-
ty-eight. reported 2ll persons in one
family with but thirteen members, and
345 persons in another family COM
posed of ten persons. Similar meth
oGs We're pursued BY Enumerator
Thompson.
THE investigation of these frauds
was conducted by an expert special
agent sent from Washington, but the
supervisor of the census for this dis
trict also participated. The correct

His companion. Minnie. ate break

were seen together on the streets.
Several men noticed them and gave
good descriptions Of the pair. These
statements corroborate the informa-
ton which l. T. Gilmer, the county
attorney who is conducting the search
for Morris, has obtained from people
who know Morris and have made affl-
davits that they have seen Morris
alive since last October. although he
was believed to have been slain In
June. o.
Thos. Latham. the sheriff Of Texas
county, Oklahoma, saw the horse and
wagon and the woman on the main
street of Guymon. He was particu-
larly impressed by the incident be-
cause 1t showed here Tuesday and
was very cold.
II wondered what woman was do
ing in that wagon on such cold
morning." Latham said this afternoon.
also noticed that the wagon was
an unusually heavy outfit for one
horse to pull"
The fact that the wagon was un-
usually heavy for one horse to draw
is one of the clews which may find
Morris and free Howey. Everyone
who describes the outfit volunteers
the information that "the wagon look
ed mighty heavy for one horse"
-. Not ON the Main Roads.
80 Latham has telephoned in
ever,eb etion where the country
telephone lines traverse. So far no
defnite trace of the missing outfit has
been found. This is not unexpected,
as Morris, II the stranger proves to
be the missing man, has been travel
ing on the unfrequented roads. He
never has been seen on the main trav-
eled reads, and this is one Of the
reasons that those who are searching
for Morris believe they are tracing
the right man, and that this is the
man who was in Guymon.
The fact that the man who was here
Wednesday is driving a single horse,
hauling a heavy vehicle, incures that
he cannot be more than seventy-five
miles away from Guymon at the very
best speed he could make. As soon
as Sheriff Latham gets trace Of the
direction which the one-horse rig
started he will at once go in pursuit.
The provisions purchased by the
stranger In Guymon would not last
more than two days and when .he
makes another purchase definite
trace Of his whereabouts will be OBJ
tanned.

II have followed many false .clews
