REPORT on BUSINESS
Colorless Statement Given
Out as to General Con-
dition Of Trade.

New York. June 12.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said.
Trade, crop and industrial conditions
are of a variable character, with the
general appearance OF quiet, though the
evidences Of good feeling hitherto noted
sbetween-season character and sales OF
spring and summer fabrics furnish the
chief occupation. AS to tariff matters,
the belief Is growing that radical legis-
fhtion Is not likely.
Short time is still the leading feature
In the textile trades. Leather is quiet
after the spell of buying induced by tho
recent advance In prices. Shoe manu-
featuring is not active except for
specialties. The building trades ana
material lines catering thereto are
quiet.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending June s were 232.

week number %.

posed the measure, held that the bill
would make it extremely difficult to

THEY MAKE A new RULE
Democrats Take Radical Step to Pre-

Washington, Feb. 2.-Another radical
step to prevent the concentration OF
power in a few hands in the house OF
representatives has been taken by the

of the ways and means committee OF
the next congress-
1t was determined that in the make
up the committees of the new house

have the power to prepare appropria-
ton bills and the chairmen of the judi
ciary, interstate and foreign commerce,
and District of Columbia committees
shall not be members of any other com
mittees than those over which they
preside.
of members who are to be expressly
limited to service on single commit
tee. The Democratic cause which
chose the IA members of the ways and
means committee restricted them to
service upon that committee, and gave
them the power to select the other
committees of the house.
The announcement was given out by
Chairman Underwood as 1.-The settled
policy of this committee While the
committee has not the power, as had
the Democratic caucus, to prohibit a
member from serving on another COM
mittee, Chairman Underwood made 1t
clear the committee. in filing up the
other committees. will adhere to the
rule.
The rule will affect the chairmen of
the following important committees:
Appropriations, agriculture, foreign af-
fairs, Indian affairs, military affairs,
and post roads; in addition to the three
specifically named by the committee,
the judiciary, interstate and foreign
commerce. and District of Columbia.

BIGGEST STEEL SKI HILL
Work on Its Construction Finished in
Wisconsin in January

Stoughton, Wis, Feb. 4.-Work on
the construction of the largest steel
ski hill in the world was finished here
in January. The total height of the
scalffold is 128 feet. The sliding dis
lance from start to jump is 2O7 feet.
The jump is 5 feet above the ground
and slider reaching this point shoots
off into the air with a velocity little
short of 80 miles an hour. On this hill
American experts hope to establish a
new American record and perhaps a
worlds record. The former is 14O
feet made February %, 1910, by Au-
gust Nordby of Superior at Ispheming,
Mich, the latter is 1853 feet, made in
Norway. Carl Solberg. in 1908, inter
national champion of Norway and
France, will be one of 80 of the best
American sliders, who plan to compete
in the formal dedication ceremonies
to be held early in February.
From the top of this scaffold can be
seen on clear days the wings of the
new state capitol, chimneys of the uni
versity and capitol heating plants at
Madison. 16 miles away.
Grandstands have been built to ac-
commodate spectators.

vitations to visit many places in the
south while making the tour which had
been planned assume too large proper
lions, according to President Taft, and
these are the reasons assigned for the
cancellation of the trip.
Fears have been expressed that the
senate will talk the reciprocity meas
ure to death or kill it in some other
way, although it is believed the house,
probably with the aid of Democrats
will pass it. If this should be the case,
the president feels, it is said, that he
can depend on a Democratic house
such as would exist after March 4, TIC
support him in his efforts to pass this
legislation.
An extra session would force action
on the question, with the chances ap-
parently in favor of the president get
ting his reciprocity legislation.

INSANITY A DEFENSE.
Counsel for Slayer of Ruby Hirsch to
Plead Mental Alteration.

Kansas City, Feb. 2.-One day of the
Edward M. Baker murder trial was
sufficient to show that the states case
against the contractor for the killing
of Ruby Hirsch would not be long in
the telling In fact, the state expects
to complete today its presentation of
the testimony. The defense, based
upon insanity. may take a week.
Following the opening statements
made in the court of Judge E. E. Por-
terfield, the taking of evidence was
begun. The state made an outline of
plain murder. The defense not deny
ing the killing, set up insanity in the
Baker family and thus argued that
Baker was rot mentally responsible
when he fired on the young girl.
Mrs. Laura Hirsch, 1901 Independ-
ence avenue, mother of the dead girl,
told of happenings at her home the
night of July 6, 1910. She said Baker
called early that night and had d talk
with Ruby. He then left, but returned
after o'clock. Soon after his arrival
she heard five pistol shots and rushed
into her daughters room to find Ruby
lying on the floor, and Baker stand
ing over her with a pistol in his hand.
That same night, said Mrs. Hirsch,
George Nickerson, travelling man,
and Emil Meyers. butcher, had called
upon Ruby and Mrs. Mabel Nigro, sis
ter of the dead girl. They had a chill
supper together.
Emil Meyers, the butcher. was also
witness. He said he heard Baker
come to the house and say to Ruby:
You have done me dirt. and after
sent you $10.''
To this the girl replied:
Here is your money
By that time, said Meyers, he was in
the bathroom, from which he could
see Baker and the girl. He saw the
shots fired. Three times Baker fired
and the girl fell Then he shot twice
