LESLIE STANLEY rs CAPTURED.
Boy Had Escaped From the State Re.
form School.

Police Detective e. G. Voiles was
called to Auburndale yesterday after
noon, where he made the arrest of Les
lie Stamey. concerning whom the police
headquarters had previously had a re-
port of his escape from the reform
school north of town. When found by
the policeman Leslie, who is an over
grown lad of Is, was hanging around
the neighborhood of his former home.
The lad was returned today to the re-
form school.
Stamey was committed to the reform
school by the juvenile court only a few
weeks ago, his arrest having followed
series of small thefts, principally of
food from West side residences. The
boy had been living as vagrant about
Topeka for many months following the
conviction of his father on an arson
charge. He slept in unfinished houses
and took food wherever he could find
it. Finally the theft of a small sales
machine was traced to him and his
conviction followed He made his es-
cape from the reform school a few
days ago, having gotten possession OF
suit Of overalls and burned his own
uniform.

PINCHOT AND CLAWS
Are Highly Praised for Faith
full Service to Uncle Sam.
Findings Will Be Printed and
Filed With Congress.

Minneapolis, Sept. 10.-''That Richard
A. Ballinger has not been true to the
trust reposed in him as secretary of the
interior; that he is not deserving OF
public confidence and that he should
be asked by the proper authorities TO
resign his Office
The foregoing sums up the findings
of the four Democrats, members of the
Ballinger-Pinchot congressional inves-
tigating committee. The Republican
members issued no report.
An independent report was given out
by Mr.. Madison, the insurgent Repdb-
lican from Kansas, which declares also
that Mr.. Ballinger should not be re-
tanned, that he was an unfaithful trrs-
tee of the peoples interest, an enemy
of conservation, and that the charges
of Clifford Pinchot should be sustained.
These findings will be printed and
filed with congress.
The decision of the four Democratic
members and Mr.. Madison to make The
reports public followed a session which
was unusual. Three Republican mem
bers-SenatOr Sutherland of Utah and
Representatives Mccall of Massachus-
etts and DENLY of Michigan, refused to
attend the meeting. Finally the chair
man of the committee himself, Senator
Nelson of Minnesota, left the commit
Tee room anu ldll6Q 10 SndlI-
man Nelson gave notice that a meeting
would be held in Chicago on next Tues
day. The Democratic members ad-
journed to meet again in Washington
on December 3. Representative. Ollie
NJ. James of Kentucky, one of the
Democratic members, announced that
all the Democrats would refuse to at
tend the meeting of which Senator Mel
son has given notice. The Republicans
will then be in the same position that
the Democrat members and Mr.. Madi-
son found themselves
No Conspiracy.
Summarized the Democratic findings
declare that the evidence shows:
THAT there was no conspiracy
against Mr.. Ballinger; that Clifford Pin
chot and L. r. CLAWS were faithful
trustees of the peoples interests.
THAT Mr.. Ballinger's conduct on GER
tain occasions was intended to and did
have the effect of deceiving the presi-
dent.

a revision of the tariff seems wise,
we shall have at hand the data from
which can be determined with some
degree of accuracy the difference be-
tween the cost of producing articles
abroad and the cost of producing
them in this country.
"The great difficulty in the hear
ing and discussion of the present
tariff bill was the absence of satis-
factory and credible evidence ON
either side of the issues as to low or
high tariffs. The importer on the
one hand and the manufacturer ON
the other were present to give their
fallible judgments. affected by their
own pecuniary interests. as to the
facts under investigation. Men who
were struggling to find the truth
we're greatly perplexed by the con-
flicting testimony.
Plans For Further Inquiry.
"The tariff bill authorizes the
president to expend $4,000 in em-
ploying persons to assist him in the
administration of the maximum and
minimum clause and to assist him
and other officers of the government
in the administration of the tarin
law. l have construed this to mean
that l may use the board appointed
under his power not only to look In
to the foreign tariffs but also to ex-
anime the question with respect to
each item in our tariff bill, what the
cost of production of the MERCHANDISE
taxed is, and what its cost is abroad.
This is not an easy task for i'm
partial experts, and 1t requires .
large force. / expect to apply to
congress this year for $250.000 to
organize a force through which this
Investigation may go on and the re-
suits by recorded for the use OF the
executive and congress when they
desire to avail themselves of the
record. In this way any subsequent
revision may be carried on with the
aid of data obtained officially and
without regard to its argumentive
effect upon the question OF raising
or lowering duties.
Taken as whole, therefore, do
not hesitate to repeat that the Re-
publican party has substantially
compiled with its promise in respect
to the tariff. and that it has set itself
strongly in the right direction to-
ward lower tariffs and furnished the
means by which such yower tarins
can be properly and safely fixed.
! "An investigation by the tarin
board of the sort proposed certainly
will take a full two years or more.
Meantime the operation of the pres
ent tariff promises to be consistent
with the prosperity of the country
and with the furnishing of sufficient
funds with which to meet the heavy
but necessary expenditures of carry
ing on our great government.

ms1-they are not perfect The
change this tariff effected was a
marked change downward in the
rate of the duties, and it was a
recognition by the party that the
time had come when intsead of in
creasing duties they must be de-
creased, when the party recognized
in its platform, and in much of what
It did. that the proper measure or
protection was the difference in cost
in the production of articles here
and abroad. including a fair profit
to the manufacturer.
Dispute as TO What Difference Il.
There was dispute as to what
that difference is. and whether 1t
was recognized in the change of all
the duties downward. Particularly
was this the case on the materials
that enter into the manufacture of
paper and paper itself The reduc-
tion on print paper was from Sc to
S3.75, or about 81 per cent.
There was a real difference of
opinion on the question of fact
whether the new duty correctly
measured the difference in the cost

and print paper here. IL affected

sage of the law was demanded not
only for the purpose of changing
rates in their effect upon the indus
tries of the country, but also for
the purpose of increasing the reve-
nue., and the success OF the measure
is to be judged by its results in both
these respects.
The bureau of statistics is au-
thority for the statement that during
the first six months of the operation
of the Payne law, which has just
ended, the average of duty paid on
all dutiable imports was 21.O9 per
cent ad valorem. The average rate
of duty paid on all imports for the
same six months for the four preced-
ing years under the Dingley law was
24.03.
This would show that the reduc-
tion in the payne law is 2.94 per cent
