prices Of all products similar to cotton
Senator Smith made no admission de-

statement of that kind. Then he turned
to Senator Aldrich and asked if the
Rhode Island senator thought the tariff
had any effect in producing high prices.

ATTACK ON W|CKERSHAM
SENATOR SMITH SAYS WALL

Discussion Follows Attempt to Have
$66, 900 Appropriated for Cost
Of Living Inquiry.

A stormy discussion of the tariff and o.
political conditions throughout the coun
try, leading to an attack on Attorney
General Wickersham by Senator Smith
of South Carolina and a defense Of the
tariff by Senator Aldrich, followed ar
attempt by Senator Lodge this after.
noon to have the Senate pass the resolu.
ton appropriating 1000 for the investi.
cation into the cost of living.
Senator Smith said that the bears on
the cotton exchange in New York city
are using the Attorney General in an eff
fort to depress prices. The bears, he
claimed, have sold short many thousands
of bales and have attempted to purchase
the cotton from the producers. On ac-
count of the high price they have been
unable to get cotton at profit.
He declared that higher price for cot
ton means increased prosperity for the
south. An increase of = cents a pound
for cotton, he said. meant an Importation
of $SO,OOO,OOO of European gold

FUTILE EFFORTS IN
HARRISON OFFICE
Thieves Were Frightened Away
from Barrel %Company's
Plant.

A bungling attempt to b~urglarize the
office of the s. M. Clark Barrel Com
pany. at los Passaic avenue, Harrison,
was made early today. The visitors
secured nothing. and it is thought that
they were scared away.
Ferdinand Zeliff. of 81 High street,
Newark, who is employed as a stable
man at the place. arrived there about
s o'clock this morning. He went to the
office and to his surprise found the door
open. Going to the rear he stumbled
and came very nearly landing upon a
red-hot stove.
zeliff lighted a match and discovered
a crowbar and a wrench lying on the
floor. Further investigation disclosed
the fact that the top and bottom
hinges of the safe loo had been broken
off. and hat the handle had also been
knocked from the door. The combina-
ton handle was badly bent and looked
as though it had been battered.
Papers were strewn all owe the Office
floor and drawers of the desk had been
pried open and were pulled out and
their contents scattered on the floor.
Zeliff gathered up the stuff and waited
until the arrival of Mrs. Elsie X. Clark,
widow Of the late owner of the place.
Mrs. Clark notified the Harrison po-
lice and Chief of Police Michael
Rodgers and Plainclothesman Samuel
Boob went to the place land made an
investigation. 1t was found that the

gained entrance to the office by break
ing a front window. A wire screen
was torn from its fastenings and a
pitchfork, which was taken from the
barn, was used to pry open the screen.
The office Is situated about 100 feet
in from Passaic avenue; a gate which
is about six feet in height stands In
front of the place. There are no lights
at or near the office. and a policeman
could be passing when the robbery
was going on without knowing 1t.
According TO Mrs. Clark, this Is the
third time that the place has been
entered in the past six years. Chief
Rodgers was of the opinion that the
job was done by boys. He has not even
the slightest clue to work upon.

ing when the sun arose over the iron
foundries, its rays gliding the tin ans
and broken bottles in nearby lots, this
"Chantecler' would hoist himself upon
the fence and voice his applause in
long crows, to the great delight of
Mrs. Kmetz and the disgust of the

The bird was very well trained, and
after his morning carol would repair

Kmetz's opinion nothing was too good
for the rooster.
But the "Chantecler', was one day
taken with the pip. His demeanor
then changed sadly. His tail feathers
dropped and his comb lost its color.
He moped sometimes in the back yard
and took to straying away from home.
1t was gossiped in fowl society that
sometimes he couldn't find his own
yard when dusk fell.
In one of these wandering fits the
rooster entered the back yard of Os-
car Story, who conducts an express
business near Mrs. Kmetz's home. Ac-
cording to Story, a young boy, John
C~avanaugh, saw the rooster and called
attention to it. Story found hat the
bird was ill. and noticing the tears
which fell from its beady eyes, con-
Guided that it was either a case of
love or pip, the symptoms being much
the same in both cases, He allowed
