CONGRESSMAN DECLARES SHIP
 SUBSIDY BILL SUBSTANTIALLY
 WAR MEASURE BACKED BY TAFT

Explaining his bill Congressman Humphreys said: There is now only one American vessel engaged exc IT. sively in the foreign trade which is flying the American flag.
 We have not been able to conmun- icate with our navy station at Samoa for the past three years except by foreign ships. We sent not only our mails. but our ammunition, our sup plies and our soldiers to the Phillip pines ill Japanese vessels. We have many vessels today that we cannot furnish with crews. have frequently said and l say now that I expect war with Japan. Japan has 260 vessels fitted to carry soldiers. The United States has perhaps ten. Japan could carry 100000 soldiers at one time and he United States not more than 10 000 Japan has more than a hundred thou sand trained sailors. The United States has less than 1000 to furnish crews for naval vessels. Japan has built fifty vessels suitable for trans port purposes but the United States not one. Japan could put 10J.00O men in Hawaii and 15O,000 in the Philip pines in less than 30 days. The United States could not pace 50 men in the Philippines in the next two years ev- en in time of peace, if we were com pelled to employ American ships"

 shoes for women.

A great many women are victims of breaking down of the arch of the foot. Not a few of them do not really know what it is, that gives them such difficulty in walk ing. They simply know that walking is painful; that there is no longer comfort or pleasure to be found while on their feet. Household duties are doubly hard and the only enjoyable time of the day is the time when all has been done and it is pos sible to sit down.
 For such women, the store has had made arch-support- ing shoes. They are the pro- duct of experience, of the study of several years. These are built upon the princi- ples of the metal arch-sup- ports which have been used for some years to overcome breaking down of the arch. But those principles are bet ter applied in the shoes which are built for us in a factory that stands very close to the top eff not at the very top)of all the fine shoe-factories of America.
 In every part they are de signed to bear up the foot, to hold up the arch, to bring comfort and true ease. Ard they do it-for we have had them thoroughly tested out in service.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The admins tration's ship-subsidy bill was intro duoed in the House today by Repre- sentative Humphrey, Republican, Washington. The measure is the re- suit of a compromise between disput- ing factions which favor the ship subsidy idea and Republican leaders in the House today expressed confi- dence that it would be passed at this session. The bill was taken before President Taft by Represen lative Humphrey several weeks ago.
 The bill contains three main fea- lures; the payment of mail subsidies; the ction of a heavier tonnage tax on foreign vessels and the admission of foreign vessels to American regis try for foreign trade only, with the p.o,iso lne,l these ships shall not share in the mail subsidy.
 The ships that are to receive the sub sidies must be made of iron or steel in accordance with the plans made oy the secretary of the navy and must be available at all times for the use of the United States and cannot be sold without the written consent of the Secretary of the Navy. They must also employ American apprentices and after years, 50 per cent of the crew must be Americans.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE GLAD
 TO RETURN HOME
JUST RELEASED FROM PRISON IN BRAZIL, AFTER SUFFERING DEFEAT IN SOUTH AMERICAN REVOLT.
Especial from United Press.)

|
 New York, Jan. 1.-Two soldiers of fortune" who have tasted the bit terness of defeat in a South Ameri- can revolt arrived here today from Brazil on board the steamer Verdi. That their bodies are not now resting in a Brazilian swamp is due entirely to the intervention of an American consular agent who interfered in time to prevent their meeting the fate re- gently meted out to GrOce and Can non in Nicaragua. The men declared they have quite enough of South or Central American revolutions and will go to Moose Jaw, Canada, where they will farm.
 The two are Samuel R. Parker and Hubert G. Kinkad, who were two of the nine men that sailed from Amer ica, Nov. ', 1907 on the steamer By ron, to participate in a movement against the Brazilian government. Another of the party was George 0. Vice of Hackensack, N. J., who was recently reported as released by the Brazilian government but who, ac- cording to today's arrivals, is still in prison, although he had been prom ised his freedom The party of nine who left here were in command of Major Davies and Lieutenant George Gordon. On reaching Bahia they chartered bark for Athos where they expected to pick up a band of insurgents who were planning to overthrow the government and bring a new administration. Unfortunately for the party they had been watched in New York by detectives in the ern- ploy of the Brazilian government and all of their plans were known. As they landed from the bark they were set on by company of Brazilian in- 9 mt WI a tpr mt a6 fn Lya oYr, prisoners. A fight followed in which naVies was instantly killed, and Cor don so badly injured that he died later. The others escaped, wounding several of their assailants. They took to the sWamps but were so hotly pur- sued that they had to abandon little by little all of their provisions and most of their arms and ammunition. Finally three days later they were cornered by a force of three hundred police and soldiers. There was lively fight which resulted in Vice, Everett Wilson and Magalli, who had planned the revolution, being very badly wounded while the others were captured. They were taken back to town and placed in a dungeon from which they were taken daily before magistrate tO be interrogated in order to learn the details of the plot. Their food was scanty and all were in bad shape when word of their predica- ment reached the American consul and he interfered. His intervention came most opportunely as it had been planned to condemn all of the party for rebellion.
 After a time the government de- cided that most of the party had been used as tools by Magalli and they were sentenced to short terms of Imprisonment. So soon as they were released Parker and Kinkad started for this country. Vice is com ing back as soon as he gets out but the others are still in Brazil.

 Washington, Jan. IA Congressional inquiry into the high price of living is provided for in resolution introduced in the House today by Representative Hull, Democrat, Tenn.) Representa- tive Hull would have a committee composed of seven members of the House and five of the Senate make a full investigation of the trusts, com binations, the increased volume of money and popu ation and then rec ommend legislation appropriate to the situation.
 Representative Hull declares that 1t is commonly reported that the cost of living has risen from Il to 30 per cent. within the past 12 months and more than 56 per cent. in the last 13 years. which is. all out of proportion to the increase in wages in that time. Be- cause of this, he says. it is difficult for millions to get proper food and clothing.
 Hull declares that the recent tariff Iegis. ation has enabled the trust to raise the prices of many articles which are shut out by competition. The Sugar trust, he says. is selling su- gar to the American people for two cents more a pound than it sells it abroad and "the price of meat has been raised by the Meat trust enough to enable Armour & Company to make a net profit of more than 35 per cent. on it's capital stock in a year,

 Washington, Jan. 4.-An attack was made on President Taft's larder and auto garage in the House today by Representative Adair (Demo. In- diana), who denounced extravagance at the White House in bitter speech.
 "A man at $1.5O a day. could work for 25 years" he declared, "and not make enough money to keep Presi- dent Taft in automobiles for one year We spend more money on our Executive department than any other government in the world.
 "It was mistake to increase the Presidents salary to S75,000 year. Any man who cannot live on s50.e00 a year and save enough to live on the rest of his life. doesn't possess enough business ability to be the head of great nation."
 s'The departments are all full of incompetent men and women" Adair continued.
 "Last year we spent s7.000. 900 for detective service. Why the land saved to the government by the land detectives would not bury them. It was joke"
