SAYS ELKINs MOVE
is CLEVER SCHEME
Rep. Weisse, Blaming Protective
Tariff for High Prices, Suspects
Plot To Deceive People.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Jan. IA
"Gold-brickers," wv h tie washers"
"stand-patters" and "whoopers" are
some OF the terms applied to the boom
ers oi the Aldrich tariff by Congress-
man Chas. h. Weisse or Wisconsin. an
operator OF large tanneries in the Bad
ger state.
Congressman Weisse. In remark
able interview given TO a representa-
ltive OF the Times, blanes the In
protective tariff.
Not only that, but he has voiced for
the first time In Washington the sus-
I.picions or the insurgents that Senator
Elkins scheme for an inquiry into the
high cost OF living is a deep-laid plot
TO fool the people.
II have no doubt that Elkins will
get a junketing committee OF senators
TO travel all over the country this
summer To prove that there have been
no high prices at ALL he said
They will say that 1t Is only i'm
agination--that the tariff has had
nothing TO do with IT, But the people
in the west are on to the game. and
they will not be fooled by the gold
bricks OF New England manufacturers
They are all from Missouri now
and the tar kettles and feather fac
tories are working fine."
Congressman Weisse Is known more
as business man than q politician
His tanneries at Sheboygan Falls have
run through all panics from 1897 tc
1910 without a shutdown.
This Increased cost OF living" said
he. lis not due to the plentifulness oi
same rate. All commodities are meas
ured by gold when gold Is the none
tary standard.
The facts are that organized skilled
labor has forced some wage raises by
strikes, but clerical and ordinary labo,
have not obtained much advance In
wages. In fact. clerks and bookkeep
ers have actually lost ground.
The present era OF extreme high
prices Is driving the poor OF the large
cities TO their wits ends. Government
as we'll as all other statistics prove
this rise In prices has been steady al
the sun ever since the Dingley taril
was enacted into law. The greatest
price bulge. though, has taken place
SINCE THE PRESENT ALDRICH
TARIFF WAS ENACTED.

MURDER CASE
st. Louis Newspaper Prints Story Of
Lamphere's Connection With
Guinness Affair.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Jan. l4.-That Mrs.

and killed by Ray I.amphere. IL the
gist OF copyright story appearing in
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. The story
Is based on a confession which IL
was said was made by Lamphere to Il
man whose identity Is concealed. but
who is said to be OF unQuestioned
character.
The confession. the Post-Dispatch
story says. was written al the time
II was given and was kept by Lam
phere. The confession. however. was
not found on Lamphere's body after
he died in the Indiana penitentiary In
Michigan City u short time ago.
The alleged confession In the main
says:
Mrs. Guinness Is dead. She and her
three children were chlorofOrmed by
Lamphere who was robbing her house
and all we're burned 10 death. Jennie
Olson was not murdered by Mrs. Gun
ness, but was chloroformed with the
others by Lamphere and burned TO
death with the rest. The chloroform
used was part OF quantity pur-
chased by Lamphere for Mrs. Guinness
to use In killing three men. Lam
phere himself saw one OF the men
killed and assisted In burying all the
men"
These men, the confession con-
tinues. were Andrew Hegelein. and
probably Ole Budsberg and Tonnes
Petersen Lien. One OF these men.
probably Lien. WAS the third husband
OF Mrs. Guinness.
The confession Is not based on the
confession made TO Rev. E. A. Schell.
OF Mount Pleasant. Iowa. but the ar
ticle asserts that the facts according
to the man who heard the confession
ere made to Rev Schell. and that II
he choose he could confirm the con-
fession.
