HIGH LIVING CHEAP CHEAP LIVING HIGH FINDING OF THE MINORITY
 MEMBERS Of Committee to Investigate the High
 Cost of Living.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The tariff, trusts, combines, monopolies and the increased money supply are the three substantial causes for the advance prices in the United States, according to Senators Johnson of Alabama, Clark of Alabama and smith of South Caro- lima, minority members of the select senate committee appointed during the last session of congress to investigate and make report on wages and prices of commodities Vigorous attacks are made in the minority report on almost all the reasons given by the majority report submitted sometime ago as to the cause for the advanced prices.
 After attacking, one at a time, fif- teen of the principal causes, which, ac- cording to the majority report. con tribute to the nigh cost of living, the minority report takes up the tariff, de- claring that when the Payne Aldrich bill was framed, champagne was put on the schedule at from 54 to 66 per cent. while wearing apparel was taxed from so to 92 per cent. Drinking cham pagne was encouraged and the wear ing of woolen clothes was discouraged.
 50 with hats" they said. Those bringing not over s4.5O per dozen are taxed SS, while those valued at more than SIS per dozen are taxed 47 per cent. As a result of protection, they declare there are great fortunes for the few and great suffering for the many"
 Showing the effect of the tariff on prices, they instance sugar, on which the American consumer. they say, pays more than the London consumer, be- cause of the differences of the sugar tariffs in the two countries, plus IT cents per 100 pounds.
 Tt is scarcely necessary" they add, 'fto mention the iniquitous woolen schedules, where the tariff rates are so high on these necessities as prac- tically to preclude foreign competi- ton except on high priced goods pur- chased by the wealthier consumer, who can to some extent disregard prices
 Taking up the trusts and monopo- lies, they declare: There are few trusts that could survive without rev enue tariffs. They flourish only under the shadow of high protective walls"
 The methods of the meat trust seem to be admirably adapted to take from the consumer and producer the larg- est amount that the traffic will bear
 As to wages, they say: "The fear that wages would fall if the tariff were removed and the fall of prices would not be clear gain to the consumer is not warranted by the experience of Great Britain. Great Britain is a free trade nation and it is the most prosperous nation in the world except ours.''

 D In the Columbus Street Rail- way Strike AN INDIGNANT MAYOR
Reported to Have Spoken Profanely of Gov. liar mon who Went Above His Head in the Restora- tion of Order.

Columbus, Ohio. Aug. 15.-Mayor Marshall tonight called upon the Co., lumbus Railway and Light company to keep it's cars in the barn at night until peace was restored He said a few days of quiet would probably end the excitement and permit a strength cning of the police force and the forces of the sheriff and vigilance committees. Despite the request, ears ridden by the police were oper- ated during the early hours tonight. The police rode the cars. as they have been doing for four nights.
 Friends and advisers of Governor Harmon are greatly perturbed by a remark attributed to Mayor Marshall, when informed that the governor had gone over his head and summoned troops, whom he purposed to direct in queling the riots without consult ing the mayor Mayor Marshall is re- ported to have said that the governor and his general staff could go to hades, so far as he was concerned.
 The mayor was promptly called upon to explain. He declared that the remark was not made by him. He merely declared that he did not "care a rap" what his many critics said.
 The Builders and Traders ex- change s.,iopted resolutions call ing upon the governor to suspend the mayor The strikebreakers are now under the direction of the head of a Cleveland detective agency, as a re- suit of the disappearance of John F.. Brady, the former leader, who IS sought by the police for the shooting of two women and a little girl.

 OF MAYOR GAYNOR MAY BE AT WORK WITHIN A
 MONTH. The Abernathy Kids Send Him a Message of Sympathy.

New York, Aug 14-Mayor Gay nor's progress. toward recovery from the bullet wound inflicted by James J. Gallagher was uninterrupted by any untoward symptoms today. The surgeons in attendance predict that he will be able to leave the hospital for the Adirondacks in two weeks and be back to his desk in the City Hall. if he desires, within a month.
 A bulletin of Mayor GaynOr's con dition timed at 9:30 o'clock was not issued until after 10:30 o'clock. It says there has been much improve ment in the mayors condition today He is taking nourishment well, been comfortable and has rested from time to time.
 The mayor has carefully refrained from asking the name of his assail- ant or his motive. When the cir cumstances were explained to him. he remembered them and remarked that at no time did he lose consciousness. After a conversation. he sent his son Rufus to New York to purchase toys for orphans who were invalid ward mates in St. Mary's hospital with the wounded mayor.
 Detectives are carefully investigat- ing a rumor that Gallagher was a tool of others who sought to take the mayors life, but so far not a shred of evidence has been found to support this Gallagher has reiterated that he acted alone because he thought he was the object of persecution by the city officials.
 Among messages of sympathy re ceived today was one from the Aber- nathy boys, Louis and Temple, dated Guthrie, okla. It read:
 Just returned from the ranch and learned you have been shot. We are sorry Hope you will soon get we'll

Sevin & Sons drug store and their use proved of great benefit. had been miserable for some time from disordered kidneys. Morn- ings when I arose my back was so painful that I could scarcely straighten and at times I could not do anything. Trouble with the kidney secretions also bothered me, the passages being too frequent I was subject to dizzy spells, and more than once came near falling on this account. My face bIoated and there was also a percepti- ble swelling of my feet and hands. I tried various medicines and doctored a great deal, but nothing gave me any relief. I was about discouraged when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, but I had only taken few doses before I had reason to place great confidence in them. The use of one box put an end to all lameness in my back re- storing my health and benefitting me in a general way It gave me pleas ure to tell other persons of the cura- tive powers of Doan's Kidney Pills

The Lorraine Manufacturing com pany of Pawtucket, with branch mills in Pawcatuck, posted notices that be ginning with the present week the plants would go on four days a week schedule.
 The Lorraine's action, it is said, is in accordance with the agreement re- gently entered into by the cotton mill men of New England, who take /this course in order to lessen the produc- tion of cotton goods.

Naturally these points are not brought out in a general re- port of legislative proceedings.
 Four pieces of property on the wa terside of Bay street have already been transferred to the Watch Hill fire district which is considered as a long step in the projected elimination of the small store buildings on that side of the street, and which will ultimately result in a general change in the as- pect of Watch Hill from the water ap- proach. There are several properties yet to be secured before the general plan of improvement can be com menced; the committee of the fire dis trict hopes to terminate negotiations on a basis satisfactory to all con- cerned.
 Some of the owners have shown signs of obstinacy and give no evil dence of cooperation with the fire district committee in the plan of inn provement. They have set valuations on their holdings which, the commit tee claims, is beyond reason, and it may be necessary to resort to heroic methods to get possession of these properties as they are essential to the plan of improvement.
 With this long line of shops re- moved the Watch Hill Midway will be among the things that were and the already limited accommodations to the day visitors will be IeSsened there by tending to bring about the result so much desired by the cottage own CTS, to make Watch Hill an exclusive summer resort.
