 REACH FATAL PLACE; He Telephones News to Fire men, Who Communicated
 It to Bereaved Families

At, 4:30 George W. Smith of 119 Thompson street, was pitching hay from the second story of the building at the southwest end of the wharf of the Armstrong Mfg. Co.,, when he went to the window for air. Just be- low him he saw, within a cribwcrk enclosure of two gas mains descend- ing from the foot of Barnum avenue under the river, what appeared to be a little head, face downward, afloat in the water.
 He hurried down to the waters edge, verified his fears as he saw the corpses of the two children, and rush. ed to the office of the factory to have the news telephoned to police head quarters The Farmer kept in close touch with all ends of the search for the missing boys throughout the day, and immediately Farmer man stop ping only long enough to telephone word through No. 1 Chemical Go, to the grief stricken father of the Cham bers boy, set out in an automobile for the scene of the discovery.
 Smith had returned from the office, arming himself with a long pole through which he drove a nail to fasten into the clothing of the little corpses. The bodies floated several feet apart, both face downward. Aided by. the Farmer man, Smith and two others, thus far the only men on the scene brought the DOuleS dSnOre.
 The enclosure is at the foot of Bar mum avenue extension, a few feet suuare, and the crib work is so close ly woven that it would have been inn possible for the bodies to have float ed into the place from outside. At the foot of the street is a steep earthen embankment feet high descending to the waters edge.
 Fireman Arthur Chambers ran all the way from his home to the wharf, about half a mile distant. At sight of the little corpses, still lying at the waters edge he started down the en- bankment. William B. Jackson, a mo- torman of 256 Bunnell street, and the Farmer man, with difficulty restrained Chambers from hurling himself into the harbor. He broke down complete ly and was led away by two women

growing crowd.
 Coroner Wilson's office was notified from police headquarters of the dis covery of the boys. The coroner was called from @ hearing he was attend ing in the Probate court. He instruct ed Rourke & Rourke to remove the bodies to the morgue, and hastened to the scene, arriving shortly after closed wagon from the undertaking parlors with two assistants, took charge of the remains. They were re- moved to Rourke & Rourke's under taking parlors.
 No trace of the broad brinmed straw hat, worn by the Chambers boy, or of the cap worn by little Joe ,McMahon, came to light with the dis covery of the bodies. The little corpses were in a fair state of preservation, though they showed the action of the water. Two big bruises upon the face of Frederick Chambers led to sus- picion that an attack had been com mitted upon the boys before they reached the water, but these, the un- dertakers' assistants said, were more likely the result of the waves throwing the body against the woodwork of the enclosure.
 Bremen who notified the Chambers family also brought the tidings to Mrs. Joseph McMahon, 30 William street. across the street from the home of the Chambers family.

Three penniless men with no places to sleep were slumbering on the stone pier supporting Nthe ironwork of the viaduct at the south side of the Wall street city dock at 2 this morning when one of the party rolled over the pier into the wate
 The splash aroused the two others. They hurried away to call for assist ance, but found none handy. On their return to the dock they could see no trace of the third man.

They Swarm With Sideshows and
 Playing Children.
 A, Japanese street is a delightful place to play in. for grownup people in Japan do not seem to mind if the tail of a kite flaps right into their smiling faces and only laugh when they are turned out of their way by some huge peStop which huns like an angry bee around their feet.
 Wee. dark eyed maidens in butterfly hmonos of brilliant coloring turn their skipping ropes gayly, the tiny black heads of the babies they carry strap ped to their backs bobbing up and down like small round balls. Their brothers plays at flags" which is a favorite game of theirs. They divide them selves into two parties. one carrying white flags and the other red ones. At given signal the reds" attack the whites" striving to wrest away their flags. and the side which carries oil most of these is proclaimed victor.
 Wonderful conjurers are to be found at the street corners. They make swarms of birds fly from crystal bowls and flowers spring as if by magic from slender stems of bamboo.
 Others show marvellous beetles har- messed with wax to paper carts or command the snakes that accompany them everywhere to perform extraor- dinary tricks.
 A little farther on you will find an old woman wAo is making a curious sweetmeat of beans. called "torfu," :" over an oval brazier. and you can buy a big slab of this wrapped up in a cool leaf for very small sum or. if you prefer 1t. a piping hot griddlecake costing no more. Acrobats. too, are as common as conjurers. and surely in no other land than this quaint little Japan do they twist themselves into such strange shapes.-Home Chat

 The creation of such a commission would be only another startling illus tration of how far the legislative branch of the government has sur rendered it's constitutional rights to the executive branch, a process that has gone on for a quarter of a cen tury.

 The tariff commission proposition begins in this wise: ITO enable the people to secure information If there is man in this country who needs information on this tariff ques- tlon it is the man in the White House. l believe if we are to send out row ing commission after facts they should report to Congress rather than to the President. In the next Congress the House will most probably originate a tariff bill without any recommendation from the White House.
 This tariff commission project is being pushed because of the wide spread dissatisfaction with the Payne Aldrich tariff law and this dissatis- faction is clearly manifest in the Indiana Republican state plat form recently adopted
 '.One thing more as to this expensive tariff commission. What has become of the much-vaunted economies which this administration was going to bring about in jig time? Have they gone glimmering along with the 1908 prom 1SeS of tariff revision dOwnward?'' ?''
 Clark analysed and condemned the cotton, sugar and woolen schedules of the tariff law and particularly de- nounced the increased duty on stock ings. He charged the President, to whom he referred as the ''Chief Trav- eller and Chief Spokesman of his party" with inconsistency in declar- ing in speeches that the tariff law was the best ever passed by the Republican party and then calling for a commis- sion to lay the basis for revising it.
