gross meets:
eliminate the board as a factor In Tie
consideration of data bearing on the

Interests promoting the movement TO
kill the tariff board propaganda are
keeping under cover, and, while the iden-
tlty OF the persons so engaged has not
yet been revealed. enough was learned
TO make II seem that domestic and for
cigp interests are In n fight TO put tho
tariff board out OF commission These

special provision for tho tariff board, the
congress TO assemble on March !, pre-
thorizc appropra lions Tor continuance
OF the boards activities. Under such cir
cumslanccs the salaries OF the members

assistant secretary of tho treasury In
cnargc OF the customs, has been making

been accomplished during the fourteen
months the board has been in existence.
IT is suggestcd that the board may use
its influence at the forthcoming session OF

Spiritual Academy Crowded Sunday
 Morning and Evening.

The noted medium. May Pepper Vanderbilt, had two crowded houses to hear her at the Spiritual academy on Sunday morning and evening, and her messages won the enthusiastic ap- plause of dler hearers. One of the best was the last one given in the evening, when the interest of the audience was stirred to the highest pitch by the rev. citations of the personal history of a woman in the audience. To the medi- um's question, the woman acknow1- edged that her marriage had never pleased anybody" and then Mrs. Pep per-V Vanderbilt went on to tell her of a relative whom she had not heard from for years. This man, said the medium, would never be heard from, for he had been lost in the Chicago fire, and she gave an address in Chi cago to which the inquirer might write, as there was a woman there who had known the man before the fire. The medium also revealed the inter esting information that the man had disappeared for some particular req son, and the woman in the audience told her that was so, for he had changed his name.
