LODGE FOR PROJECTIONS
SUPPORTED BY FACTS
Declares Himself in Favor OF a
Permanent Commission
to Revise the Tariff.

The Cummins resolution. providing for
changes lin the procedure in both houses
of Congress To permit of revision of the
present tariff law, schedule by schedule,
called forth not only a clash between
Senators Cummins and Hepburn, at the
opening of the Senate yesterday afternoon.
but also extended remarks from Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. in which the latter
not only came out unequivocally for a
permanent tariff commission, but an
nounced himself a protectionist only so
far as expert figures sustained the policy
as beneficial to the entire country.
If figures don't sustain the policy of
protection. Mr.. Lodge ceases to be Il pro-
tectionist
Nj. Lodges speech, which received the
undivided attention of the few members
on the floors placed the senator from
Massachusetts firmly with the President.
Although admitting that he did not agree
with Mr.. CumminS altogether as to the
method to be employed in bringing about
the necessary changes in the form of
procedure, Mr.. Lodges speech, from first
to last, was in support of the Cummins
resolution.

and composed of experts, which could
furnish to the President and to Congress

revision should be based
Mr.. Lodge explained that he did not
wish to belittle the results of the labors;
of the various finance committees of Con-
sress who had collected the data on which
the past revisionS were based.
But he said, lit is impossible for any
body of men in few months or even
couple of years to master all the subjects
brought up in a tariff bill.
Mr.. Lodge protested that he would not,
were it possible under the Constitution.

powers but, he said, it is now impossible

Laying A Ghost.

Sir William Henry Perkins, the
inventor of many coal-tar dyes, was
talking in New York, before he sail
ed for England, about the Psychical
Research Society.
"Crookes and some other scien-
lists go in for psychical research" he
said, though / confess that to me
the subject makes no great appeal.
Personally / have come in con-
tact, during a fairly long career,
with but one ghost story. It's hero
was a man whom I'll call Snooks.
Snooks, visiting at a country
house, was put in the haunted cham
ber for the night. He said he felt
so uneasiness; nevertheless he took
to bed with him a revolver of the lat
est American pattern.
He fell asleep without difficulty,
but as the clock was striking two he
awoke with strange feeling of op-
preston.
Lifting his head, he peered about
MIN. The room was wanly illuminat-
ed by the full moon, and in that
weird, blush light he saw small
hand clasping the rail at the foot
of the bed.
Who's there?' he demanded,
tremulously.
There was no reply. The hand
did not move.
Who's there?' said Snooks
again. Answer or I'll shoot.
Again there was no reply, and
Snooks sat up cautiously, took care
full aim and fired.
He limped from that night on,
for he shot off two of his own toes. /"

Kills Timekeeper.

Reading. William II. Brooks, a
colored man, who was employed by
the Toledo Construction Company,
which has the contract to repair the
city's streets, entered the Office of the
company on the fifth floor of George
F.. Baer's office building and began
a dispute with Frederick S. Neudoerf-
fer, the timekeeper, as to the amount
of money due him. In his frenzied
anger he pulled out a revolver and
sent several bullets into Neudoerffer' S
body. Neudoerffer died at one of the
local hospitals fifteen minutes after
being shot. He never regained con-
sciousness. He had been shot in the
head and near the heart. The MUIR
ierer ran down the stairway of the
building, and as soon as he reached
the street he was pursued by large
crowd. Four squares away just as
the foremost man about reached him,
the negro pulled out his revolver and
shot himself through the head. He
dropped dead to the pavement. Neu-
doerffer was well-known locksmith
which calling he followed for some
years. Later he worked in the city
engineers Office. and then assumed a
position with the Toledo Construction
Company. He was so years of age.
a prominent Democrat and was the
nominee of his party for Select Coun-
Gil in the Fourteenth Ward. He was
one of the most popular citizens of
Reading. Brooks came here few
weeks ago from Jacksonville, Fla.
1t was learned later that the crowd
in pursuit of Brooks was bent on
lynching him, and that knowing this
he killed himself.
