Unjust to Tariff Law.

1.-The new tariff law has been the object
of much unjust criticism and misrepre-
sentation. The high cost of living cannot
be charged to the tariff law; where the
rate OF duty was increased the price Of
the product has remained the same or it
has decreased in cost, and in scores of
instances the tariff reduction in the
Payne bill has been followed by increased
price to the consumer"

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT
AS LEADERS OF PARTY
William Alden Smith Doesn't
Believe Cause of RepubIi-
canism Will Fail.

DETROIT. October 6.-United States
Senator William Alden Smith, temporary
chairman of the republican state con-
vention. in his speech before the gather
ing defended the present tariff, declared
that the dissension in the republican
ranks would not prevent victory at the
polls In the coming election and coupled
President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt
as the party leaders.
He said in part:
Party Glory Undimmed.
1T has been said that the republican
party is vexed with internal dissension
and torn by factional strife. This can
be said, at times, of every great public
tribunal, but our party continues to move
among the political forces of our time
with strength undiminished and glory
undimmed.
Surely no internal controversy can
draw our forces from the battle line. 1t
is said that the national House of Repre-
sentativeS is threatened, and Michigan,
whose people have prospered under re-
publican rule, must not Waver in the
fight. No vote from here must be di-
verted even to that brilliant. honest
hearted disciple of false faith, the self
proclaimed free trader. Champ Clark OF

DRUGGIST IS SUICIDE
DR.. C. P. Gibbon Made De-
spondent by MaIady.
TWO NOTES EXPLAIN DEED
Wife Hears Fatal Shot and Finds
Him Dead.
HE SUFFERED CONSTANT PAIN
Result Of Collision With Motor Cycle
Year Ago-Planned to
Open Pharmacy.

DR.. Charles Perry Gibbon. we'll known
Washington pharmacist, committed sui
eide in his apartments in the Ashburne
apartment house, 18th and Harvard
streets northwest, early this morning by
shooting himself in the head.
Death was almost instantaneous, the
bullet penetrating the brain.
Dependency over inability to cure an
affliction which had deprived him Of his
sense of taste and smell and kept him
in almost constant pain is believed to
have been the cause of the suicide.
Dr. Gibbon ,left two notes, one ad-
dressed ITO the police " and another
to his wife. Both notes stated that he
alone was responsible for his act
Planned to Open Pharmacy.
DR.. Gibbon was forty-two years old and
a native of Washington. Up to few years
ago he owned and conducted several drug
stores. Lately he had been employed as
a drug clerk for Alfred T. Bronaugh at
7th and streets northwest He had
been planning to re-enter business for
himself.
DR.. Gibbons suicidal act came without
the slightest previous intimation to his
family. At 6:15 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Gibbon was awakened by the report of
q pistol shot. She entered her husband S
room. and found him. unconscious, lying
on his back on the bed half dressed and
with q revolver in his hand.
She summoned her brother, DR.. J. w.
Hollingsworth, a surgeon dentist. who
lives nearby and notified the police
Sergt. Charles H. Bremerman of the
tenth precinct answered the call and no.
tilted the coroner.
Verdict of Suicide.
The body subsequently was removed to
the morgue. A coroner's jury returned
verdict of suicide this afternoon A
search of the body brought to light,
among other things. small bottle of
prussic acid. This had been opened.
Post-mortem examination failed to dis
close any traces of the drug in the stom-
ach Of the dead man.
The trouble which is believed to have
been responsible for DR.. Gibbons act re-
suited from a collision with a motor cy-
Gle at Thomas Circle about a year ago
To relieve the pains in the head DR.. Glib
bons had been using a drug In large
quantities. This is believed to have un-
balanced his mind.
DR.. Gibbons is survived by his widow
and two children, Thelma, aged twelve,
and David, aged fifteen years. Funeral
arrangements have not been made.

Modified Decree Opposed.

The modification Of the decree so as to
give the federation more freedom to dis
cuss the business of the company Is char
acterized as wholly unnecessary for the
preservation of any legitimate right OF
the defendants or any of them.
I'VE submit" says the brief. that ten
der consideration for the possible con.
tingent future rights of a wrong doel
should not be carried SO far as to with
draw present protection from the injured
party against the wrong actually being
inflicted upon him.
The history of the case was summed UP
by the two attorneys as showing an 'un.
disguised and unanimous common effort
to coerce the complainant into submission
to their demands by attacking and seeking
to destroy it's business and to accomplish
its financial ruin, as the penalty of refus.
ing to submit to their dictation and to
obey those demands as to the manner In
which it should employ its own capital
and conduct its own business

Interchange of Stock.

The important consideration in such
transaction. it is pointed out. is the basis
OF the interchange of the stock of the
two banks for that of the new institu-
ton. One proposition is to make the
exchange on the basis of the earning
capacity of the banks. AS far as repre-
sented by the dividends, the earning ca
pacity of the Bank of Washington is 16
per cent. while that Of the Metropolitan
Bank is per cent.
Another basis, however is the book
value of the stock, which in the case of
the Bank of Washington is $165.O5 and
$l76.13 in the case of the Metropolitan n
Bank No definite conclusion has been
reached as the result of the conferences
thus far held.
! II an agreement is determined upon the
next step will be to submit the plan to
the stockholders. At the present stage
In the negotiation il is by no means GER
| tain that the officers and directors of the
| two banks will be able to reach an agree
ment.
One result Of the moving uptown of the
Bank of Washington will be the opening,
! in the building now occupied by that in
| stitution. near Pennsylvania avenue and
| 7th street. of a savings bank which will
probably be controlled by some, IL not
all, OF the same interests that are con-
| cerned in the proposed merger.

RIVAL PARTIES MEET
IN STATE CONVENTION
Massachusetts Republicans
and Democrats to Name
Candidates.

BOSTON, October 6.-Both the repub-
licans and democrats of Massachusetts are
meeting In state convention in Boston
today.
With practically no contest In sight
over the selection OF candidates for state
offices. the delegates to the republican
convention, which met In fremont Tenn
pie. were concerned mainly in the early
hours of the day over the platform.
Lodge Endorsement, an Issue.
Because of the attempt Of Representative
Butler Ames to dispiace United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, any indorse-
ment of the senior senator which might
be construed as a recommendation foI
reelection was looked upon as practically
certain to invoke protest by Ames.
The proposal to incorporate in the plat
form plank favoring the establishment
OF tarin commission was another fac
tor of possible trouble
Meet in Faneuil Hall.
Eight hundred or more delegates crowd.
ed the entrance to Faneuil Hall an hour

was called to order.
The platform committee, which worked
until long after midnight. met again
about 10 O'Clock to put the finishing
touches on the resolutions.
Just before the convention met the
candidates for lieutenant governor agreed
to let their differences wait until after the
head of the ticket had been selected The
choice for this latter honor seems to be
between Charles s. Hamlin. former as
sistant secretary of the Treasury, and
Representative z. N Foss.

BIG LABOR FIGHT ON
Buck Stove Company Case in
Supreme Court.
ATTORNEYS FILE A BRIEF
St. Louis Concerns Side of eve
Don -Patronize List" Controversy.
HEARING SET FOR NEXT WEEK
Modification Of Injunction Against
Boycott Basis Of Arguments
Now Being Presented.

Probably the greatest labor fight waged
in years in the Supreme Court of the
United States was opened today. when
Daniel Davenport and J. J. Darlington, as
attorneys for the Buck Stove and Range
Company OF St. Louis, filed the COM
pany's side of the famous controversy
over the "We-Don't-Patronize List Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
The case will come up for argument be.
fore the court probably next week. The
brief was an outline of the arguments to
be presented orally at that time. The
Labor. which objected to any injunction
in the case, has not been filed.
The Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia issued broad injunction
against the American Federation to pre-
vent it from boycotting the Buck Stove
and Range Company, which was charged
with operating an open shop The
Court of Appeals of the Distinct modified
the decree of the lower court. 1t was this
modification that formed the basis Of
the argument presented to the court to-
day. The contempt cases which arose out
of the boycott suit were not discussed.
The original decree was against the
American Federation of Labor, but the
modified decree was against the individual
defendants, the officers of the organiza-
ton. 1t is not claimed that this leaves
the federation free to continue its boycott
through any other officer or instrument
talities.
Against Secondary Boycott.
The original decree was directed against
the defendants conspiring to boycott the
stove company, while the modified decree
merely restrained secondary boycott -
or one against persons dealing with the
stove company. The original decree re-
strained the defendants from referring
to the company or it's products as in the
unfair list while the modified decree
prohibited the printing of the business in
the weldon 't-PatrOnize List" or refer
ring to the business being on the list, in
furtherance of a boycott.
Both primary and secondary boycotts
are held to be illegal in the brief Of the
stove company.
THE sole argument for the right to
boycott rests upon the proposition" says
the brief, adopted as true in the opinion
of Chief Justice Shepard, that what one
man may lawfully do any number Of men
may lawfully agree or combine to do. But
custom from persons who deal with Is
as unquestionable as his right to with
hold his custom from A hiriself Within
reasonable limits any person may ex-
press disapprobation Of an actor in
theater, but a combination Of persons to
hiss him and to have others do so would
be unlawful"

MERGER Of TWO BANKS
DEMONSTRATION
Plans Being Made for Union of
National of Washington and
Metropolitan.

A plan for the merger Of the National
Bank of Washington with the National
Metropolitan Bank is being considered by
those connected with both institutions.
but thus far no definite agreement has
been reached.
The plan, in general. is to bring the
two Institutions together with q capitali-
zation that will represent something
more than the present combined capital
Of the two banks. probably about 5000,
600, In place of the 81 .0oO,OOO capital OF
the Bank of Washington and the $500, 900
of the Metropolitan Bank. The building
of the Metropolitan Bank on 18th street
between F and G streets is proposed as
the home of the new institution, and 1t is
supposed that the name of the older bank
will be retained.
1t Is proposed that Clarence F. Nor
ment, president of the Bank of Washing
ton, will be the head of the new bank,
while George w. White. president of the
Metropolitan Bank, will be vice presi-
dent. The making of provision for the
other officials Of the two banks is not
regarded as likely to present any diff
ficulties.

This much is known from the

capital and from wireless mes
sages sent from vessels in the
harbor.
Of other events throughout
Portugal little definite has been
learned. Intense interest centers
in the whereabouts of King Man
uel and in the question whether
the republic will endure.
The king is variously reported
at Cintrayat CaxiaSand on board
the royal yacht Queen Amelia,
bound for the protecting shores
of England. 1t is quite certain
that the queen mother, Amelia.
and the kings grandmother, the
dowager empress, Maria Pia, are
on this vessel en- route for Gibral-
tar.
Civil War Threatened.
Communication between Lisbon
and the provinces is severed. The
attitude of the people in the coun-
try is in doubt.
There are rumors of loyalist
forces moving on the capital and
threatening civil war. These can
not be confirmed.
The loyalists are said to cherish
the hope that an uprising in the
country districts will restore the
monarchy.

disgraceful position they would be
in by declaring the strike off un-
conditionally. Please understand,
the railroads have positively re-
fused to extend the award made by
the arbi;rators At Chicago to this
territory. They have refused to
accept the award made TO the 3. OF
Il T. of cents per hour advance
and to the switchmen OF , cents
per hour advance, which. as you
see, would compel those who re-
turn to work TO accept no working
conditions and third class pay.
There have been less assertions in
this controversy than any other
of such magnitude in the history
of organized labor. and now we
are satisfied there will he no more,
and as the business conditions are
worse tlan al any time since the
srtike began it Will be absolutely
necessary for the railroads 10 ac-
cept our proposition in order to

We do not expect to hear from
Organizer Howley at Washington

feel that he has the interest of this
cause at heart and is thoroughly
acquainted with every detail,
which he can lay before the eXecu-
tive council. and we are satisfied
that he will report success from :. :
efforts.
We are in receipt of clipping
from a Spokane paper showing the
business men there have demand
ed action by the governor TO settle
the strike. as the business is Suf-
fering so extensively. and this Is
an evidence of the far reaching eff
fects of the strike and of the fact
that business cannot resume q nor

turn to work. There is plenty OF
work for men at the highest rate
of wages, and under such circum
stances | believe that not one man

TREATMENT OF ORES

plicable. Before adopting any par
ticular process of concentration,
careful experiments and practical
working tests must be made in the
laboratories, on samples of aver
age ore OF sufficient quantity.
Generally, however, it may be
stated that when ore of payable
value can be cheaply mined on a
large scale, and cheaply transport
ed, the best results are obtained
by shipment in bulk to the smelt
ers, from which special rates can
be obtained, if the mine owner is
able to contract for large and regu
lar supplies of ore. BY shipping
in bulk the following advantages
are derived:
The capital cost, and time neces-
sary to erect and operate a com
plete smelling plant, and i'll add
ton thereto a complete crushing
and concentrating plant is entirely
saved.
Unless ores are specially suit
able for concentration, the losses
in fine shines and in the taillngs
from concentration plants may
vary from Il per cent to 90 per
cent of the original value.
The concentration, which has
now cost so much to produce, must
then be shipped in sacks and han
died at higher freight rates, wheth
er it is smelted locally, or whether
it is loaded, transported and smelt
ed. The samplins of wet concen
trates is liable to be erratic. as it is
, impractiCable to dry and mix them
properly. In addition 10 this, being
finely crushed, the smelter, on re
ceipt Of them, has to "briquette'
them with some binding material
to prevent the fines being carried
away into the flues. The cost OF
briquetting adds from S1.00 per tor
and upwards to the cost OF treat
ment, hence, as above mentioned
il is better TO arrange to ship II
bulk wherever it is practicable.
