Winona, Mimi, April 15.-Congress-
man James A. Tawney, who is here on
flying trip home from Washington
intending to return at the beginning
of next week, has given out the fol-
lowing interview:
Both houses have now commenced
the serious consideration of the meas.
ures recommended by the president
and included in the declaration OF the
Republican party in it's last national
platform. It is not expected that all
these measures will be considered and
passed at this session; many of them
are of the greatest Importance and
cannot be disposed of in either house
without the most careful considera-
ton.
"Just how much can be accom-.
plished at this session in the enact.

by the president will depend largely
upon whether the present demoraliza-

WIDOW WEEPS IN COURTROOM
Emotional Scene at Hyde Murder
Trial at Kansas City.

iFlai at Kansas City.
Kansas City, April 15-Mrs. Logan
o. Swope figured in an emotional
scene during the session of the Hyde
murder trial. To several friends and
some newspaper men she spoke of
how lonely her life was since so many
deaths have occurred in her family
and she had become estranged from
her daughter, Mrs. Hyde. She wept
throughout the time she was talking
and finally became so greatly affected
that she left the courtroom on one of
her attorneys arm.
1T is lop esome since there have
been so many deaths in the family"
she said. Three men have died at
our house in three months. The whole
house seems sad and so different"
A few feet from her mother Mrs.
Hyde sat laughing, while her husband
talked. Mrs. Swope observed her and
she studied her daughters face.
"She will come back to me some
day." confidently said the aged wo-
man.

Favors Tariff Commission.
Zone of the best evidences OF the
fact that there has been a substantial,
reduction of duties under the Payne
law is the enormous increase in our
importations and the consequent in
crease in the revenues collected
When I was at home last January
stated that I was heartily in favor of
a tariff commission, as recommended
by President Taft in his annual mes
sage, and that 1 would favor an ap-
preparation of sufficient amount to
enable that commission to carry on
the work, as outlined by him in that
message.
Zone of the great difficulties con-
gress has had to contend with in the
preparation of the tariff bill that will
provide revenues and at the same
time embody the Republican doctrine
of protection is to ascertain the diff
ference between the cost of produc
ton here and abroad.
1T may be that the matter will have
to be thrashed out in conferente be-
tween the two houses. If so, it will
be done by the conferees of the two

Fitzgerald of New York. Judge Smith

RUDE WADDELL WAS JOKER,

say, We'll, that was a good yarn, but
I think it must be dream" RUDE

league to the Eastern.
Was RUDE Waddell really as big

he was the sensation OF baseball, for
he had developed into one of the
greatest third baseman the game had
