TWO OLD HORSES.
Named for Scott and Burns-Entered
 in Hartford Parade.

It is remarkable the number of old horses there are in Hartford, and It seems that all are entered in the work horse parade according to The Courant This parade is serving the purposes of a census enumeration of the horses A casual glance over the entries in the 'old hoss" classes reveals a couple of entdies by William Meggat of Wethersfield and the information fur nished brings out something remark able. They are Watty and Bob, named after Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns. Here is the story as written by MT. Meggat:-
 "Wattie and Bob are 33 and 32 years old, respectively, next month They are a pair of brown geldings, full brothers, bred and raised by Eastman Brothers, Belleville, Jefferson ciunty, New York. Wattie was foaled in 1877 and Bob in 1878. The owner first saw them in the summer of 1878. Wattie was then yearfing and Bob sucker, both running with their dam on the Eastman farm He bought them in February of 1883. paying $500 for the pair and shipped them to Wethersfield where they have remained ever since and the owner says they have never been apart over twenty-four hours at Walkill, 2S01 he by Rysdyks Hamble- tonian, 2 10, dam by Seeley's American Star. 2; IA.

 nation. The Eastmans owned both sire and dam.
 "In their prime the pair never weighed quite 2,40O pounds, 2,375 pounds being the most in the owner S recollection Wattie used to weigh be- tween twenty-five and thirty five pounds more than Bob. They were never sick or lame in their lives and can do anything single or double that farm horses are requested to do. They have been kind and gentle always in any kind of a hitch. They were fast walkers and had great endurar a. were fine drivers. single or double and have done a great amount of hard work, and the owner vouches for the claim that they have had always a good driver They have been well cared for, well fed and never abused, and in the opinion of the owner al- though never babied, they are the best pair of horses for general pur- poses that he has ever owned or known of. With their owner, they have grown old together"

TORTURES INFLICTED
Nicaraguan Political Prisoners Hung
Up by the Thumbs for
Hours.

Washington.-Ale letter written to the
American consul at Managua- Mica
ragua, detailing incidents of cruelties
in the isthmian republic, has been for
warded here to Senor Castrillo, repre-
sentative of the Estrada forces in
Washington.
In his letter Mr.. Arellane says:
Il think it best that you should know
that these people are at their old
work again. They are torturing men,
and even boys, at Mandaimo and at
Granda, whipping them, suspending
them from the thumbs with cords, all
this to wrench out confessions from
them as to who carried provisions to
Calixto Talavoras Guerrillas, beyond
Mandaimo."
Under date of April 10, from Mana
qua, a subsequent note to the Amer
lean consult at Managua from Arellane
states that the author has received re-
liable information of II cases in which
men have been hung up by the thumbs.
He gives the name of the II victims
and the name of one man shot and
two who were lashed.

WILL AGAIN
REVISE TARIFF
STEPS SOON TO BE TAKEN WITH
THAT OBJECT IN
VIEW.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO BE GIVEN
House Committee on Appropriations
Will Insert in Sundry Civil Bill $780,
oeo for Use of Tariff Board Created
py Payne-AIdrich Act.

Washington.-The next step in the
direction of literal fulfllment of the
pledge in the Republican national plat
form pertaining to a revision of the
tariff will be taken by congress this
month, provided members of the house
and senate who recognize the signs
of the times can outvote that peculiar
species of statesmen whose hindsight
is better than their foresight.
In response to a request from Pres
ident Taft, Chairman Tawney, of the
house committee on appropriations,
will insert in the sundry civil bill an
item of $3.50, 900 for the use of the tariff
board which was created by the Payne
Aldrich act last summer.
The purpose of this appropriation is
to enable the board to ascertain the
difference in the cost of production of
articles of commerce in the United
States and in foreign countries.
The Republican platform declared
for tariff duties which would represent
the difference between the cost of pro-
duction here and abroad, plus reason
sonable profit to American manufac-
turers.
But when congress was meeting in
extraordinary session last year it was
not In possession of the data showing
this difference, and the result was, as
nearly everybody knows, that some of
the schedules contain inequalities
which will have to be adjusted before
the criticism of large percentage of
the public subsidies.

FOUR GIRLS ARE PURCHASED
NEW YORK JURY AGENTS UN-
EARTHS WHITE SLAVERY.
Three Arrests Are Made-Women Aid
in Expose of East Side
Conditions.

New York. - The grand jury in
vestigating the so-called white slave
traffic has found that not only
do the conditions described in maga-
zine articles exist but that a grand
jury representative, James B. Rey-
nolds, through women agents, has been
able actually to purchase four Slaves,
two of whom are mere girls.
Three arrests were made as result
and another arrest is expected.
Harry Levinson, who traficked in
girls on the East side, and Belle
Moore, negress, who sold white
girls on the West side, are the prin-
cipals. Aleck Anderson, negro en-
ployed In the Union cafe in Broadway,
also was arrested. Levinson was held
in $4,000 bail.
The girls purchased are all under
eighteen years of age. Two of them
appear much younger than that.
District Attorney Whitman said that
1t would have been an easy matter for
the agents to have bought many more
girls had not they insisted on having
exceedingly young ones.
The women who did most of the
work relating to the purchases are
college graduates. One of them is
from Radcliffe and the other from
Smith.
They had little trouble after they
once had their plans laid out, but they
had to do considerable travelling.

CANADA FORGING
AHEAD

Thomas G. Shotwell, one of the
greatest market reporters in America,
writes from New York, under date of
March Goth, and says:
"The Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken in
hand is of Importance chiefly because
of the multitude of American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian
northwest. Most conservative esti-
mates of their number place it at
10000 for 1910. Some say as many
as 25O,OOO will cross. These are all
expert farmers and their places in the
United States are being filled by un-
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
in agricultural Importance and with
in few years the United States will
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production of wheat in the
United States is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem Of get
ting food Even now Canadian farm
ers are getting higher prices for their
cattle on the hoof and Canadian house.
wives are paying less for meat in the
butcher shops than farmers and house
wives are receiving and paying in the
United States. The tariff on cattle
and wheat must be removed as be-
tween the two countries before long"

BALLNGER SAYS CLAWS LIED
TAKES STAND AND TEsTIFIEs IN
HIS OWN BEHALF.
Declares Former President Roose'
Welt Urged Him to Take Commits
sionershlp and Reform Bureau.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had appointed him
land commissioner for the purpose OF
cleaning up" the general land office
bureau, Secretary of Interior Rich
ard A. Ballinger, took the witness
stand Friday in his own defense be-
fore the Bailinger congressional COM
mittee.
The secretary characterized one
statement of L. R. CLAWS before the
committee as a "wilful and delib-
crate lie."
According to the secretary, Presi-
dent Roosevelt intimated the land Of
tice needed renovating as badly as
Seattle, when, as mayor, Mr.. Ballinger
waged war on vice.
Mr.. Ballinger declared he accepted
the position Of commissioner only aft
er he had been strongly urged to do
so by President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Garfield.
"They knew / would enforce the
law, and did," he stated, emphat-
lcally.
Mr.. Ballinger read kilograms he had
received from Mr.. Garfield and Mr..
Roosevelt after he had replied mega
lively to suggestion of Senator Piles
that he accept the post of commits
sioner of the land office. Reading
from the Roosevelt telegram he said:
1T is your duty to help me- You
and Garfield will lift an immense bur-
den from my shoulders"
1t was then, Mr.. Ballinger said, that
he decided to accept the post and Mr..
Vertrees asked the witness whether
his relations with Garfield then were
friendly.
Friendly, but never intimate. l
knew Mr.. Garfield in college"
Mr.. Vertrees asked Mr.. Ballinger
whether he knew any of the Cunning
ham Alaskan coal claimants at the
time he became commissioner. He
said he was not aware he knew any
of them at that time, but had since
discovered that he knew about six
of them, whom he named.
did you have an interest in Alas
kan lands?" asked Mr. Vertrees.
'I had no interest in Alaska or
any other lands whatsoever, either di'
rectly or indirectly" replied Mr.. Bal
| linger.
Mr.. Ballinger then described how
he Cleaned up" the land office, rela
ting in detail the many changes he had
made and the innovations he had in
troduced.
Attorney Vertrees asked Mr.. Ballin
ger about a conference he had with
CLAWS in December, 1907. He re-
ferred Ballinger to Claws testimony
before the committee that they had
talked about several specific groups Of
Alaskan coal claims.
That's a wilful and deliberate lie,'
exclaimed Mr.. Ballinger. He said they
had discussed the situation in general
but that he know nothing about any
groups.

AGREES TO COMMERCE COURT
House Adopts Provision In Railroad
Bill on Narrow Margin Of
Tie Vote.

Washington.-By the narrow margin
of tie vote the house Tuesday
agreed to the special commerce court
which is to have final Jurisdiction in
all common carrier cases arising un-
der decisions of the interstate COM
merce commission, except where a
constitutional question is involved.
This feature of the pending railroad
bill is the one most Insisted on by
President Taft. He has urged it for
the speedy termination of suits
brought by the railroads against
rulings of the commission in the in
terests of the shipper and to prevent
costly and lengthy litigation.
Despite assurances given the presi-
dent by the Insurgent leaders that
they were behind him in his legisla-
tive program. Is Of them deserted him
and came near to sending his cher
ished project to defeat, at least tenn
porarily in character They were:
Morris, Murdoch, Nelson, Lindbergh,
Volstead, Morse, Cary, Davis, Steener-
son, Pickett, Haugen, Gronna, Hub
bard, Good and Kendall. By uniting
with a solid Democracy they succeed
ed in swelling the opposition to the
commerce court to 140 votes, num-
Der which could be equaled only by
the Republican members supporting
the committee and the president.
But the fight for the commerce court
has not been won. 1t will have to take
its chances before the house when the
bill comes up for final passage. Hub
bard of Iowa, who moved that it be
stricken from the railroad bill, will
carry his fight against the special
court to the last ditch and will have
the backing Of the Democrats. When
the bill is reported to the house for
passage he will move that it be recon.
mitted to the committee with instruc.
tions that the commerce court sec.
tions be eliminated.
