ad was placed in the paper by Mrs.

and which required this kind of fur.
Mrs. Ibaugh stated yesterday that
she had received a number of inquiries
and although it is probable only few
would suspect it, there is evidently a
large amount of monkey fur in this
city. The fur looks like human hair
in some respects. although it is some

very expensive and makes very de-
sirable article for women. The best
quality is secured in South America,
where the natives kill hundreds OF
monkeys each year, skin them and tan
the hides.

methods are such that enforcement of
the law will promote a panic, then the
quicker these methods are changed,
the better. Thus President Taft at
the Lincoln dinner of the Republican
club tonight made final reply to the
pleadings of "The Interests"
There will be no running amuck on
the part of the administration, the
president declared, but the law will
be enforced, the Sherman antitrust
law, specifically. Recurring to plat
form pledges of the republican party,
The president pointedly reminded his
thrOng of hearers that no promises
had been made to repeal or amend,
or in any way to abate the rigors Of
the Sherman law.
To Enforce the Law.
This law is on the statute books to
be enforced the president declared,
and it is the purpose of this admins
tration to enforce it. AS an anchor
ating agency all the president had to
BILL which is pending at Washington
pleases. But there is nothing in this
act that is in any way intended to let
down the bars of the Sherman act, ev-
en- to those that avail themselves of
it.
In brief, the president renewed all
of the strong declarations of his first
message to congress and his special
message on interstate commerce and
federal incorporation, and it must be
taken for granted that his pa rty is
behind him in his plans, for the 5000
or more republicans present who list
ened to the address cheered every dec
laration to the echo.
Defends the Tariff.
Taft returned to his defense Of the
tariff. and. by figures showing the
operation of the Payne law the past
six months he argued they showed q
decided revision downward.
He pledged his administration anew
to the postal savings bank system and
in general covered the entire range OF
his legislative platform as it was laid
down in the republican platform anG
has since been developed in the presi
dents successive messages to con
greSs.
1t was upon the corporation policy
however. that the president laid the
greatest stress. In discussion of these
measures the presidents face lost tha
genial smile that generally character
ICES him and his expression became
flinty and hard, possibly in recollec
tions of pleadings and threatenings
which reach him daily as to what viii
happen if he pursues the policy he has
laid down. Wherefore he seized up
on this occasion to announce one,
more. as he declared recently, that h,
