BUFFALO POLICE
JUDGE Is DEAD
Thomas King, Unique Char
acter. Born Here.
Special To The Washington Herald.


Buffalo. y. Y, April 10-In the death
here to-day of Thomas F. King. one Of
the most unique characters in the citi-
zenship of Buffalo is removed. He was
known throughout Western New York as
Judge King, obtaining the title in the
thirty years he presided over the Police
Court of this city.
His startling decisions and his remark
able comments when dispensing justice
TO trivial offenders attracted wide atten-
ton. Judge King had a fondness for
ridicule, especially when he found oppor-
tUnity to apply it in his dealings with
attorneys unfortunate enough to be on
the losing side. He frequently advised
common DRINKS" to drown themselves
in Lake Erie. and on one occasion, when
n woman came before him in the nature
OF ''scold," he asked her:
Would you like to be a benefit to
humanity"
Il would" smiled the woman
Then get a good strong rope and hang
yourself from the first tree you come
across"
Judge King retired from the Police
Court bench about six years ago He
was born in Washington, D. c., in 1873,
and was married there in 1860.

ago data was obtained as to the effect of
Pinch guns upon the armor plate of
the coming tower of the. San Marcos,

lowering duties on farming implements
and supplies has been put through the
House. There may be several more Of
these ''popgun" tariff bills, all Of them
aimed at the necessaries Of life, be-
fore the Democrats quit tinkering with
the tariff.
The Senate Democrats are going to
follow the example of their brethren on
the House side and hold another caucus.
They will not get together, however.
until the latter part of the week. One
of the things to be considered by them
is the creation of a committee Of floor
managers whose duty IL will be to look
after 4 legislative programme. The Re
publicans of the Senate always have had
a special committee of this character,
but the Democrats have intrusted the
general management of party affairs to
a single committee. 1t is the suggestion
of Senator Martin. of Virginia, the new
minority leader. that the special COM
mittee be created.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
TO HOLD CAUCUS
Will Gather Tonight to De-
eide Oh Programme.
RECIPROCITY TO COME FIRST
Ways and Means Committee Forms
Tariff Legislation, but Is willing
of Other Matters-Senate Demo-
Gratis Will Hold Another Caucus.

II the House Democrats in caucus to-
night accept the recommendations by the
majority OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee, the Canadian reciprocity bill will
be submitted to the House and passed
in advance of any other tariff legislation.
The Democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee decided last night after an
all-day session, upon a tariff programme
which starts off with Canadian reciproc-
ity.
This action on the part of the Demo-
Gratis of the Ways and Means Commit
tee is particularly gratifying to Presi-
dent Taft. who has been urging that reci-
procity De taken ep and passed as
separate proposition. While the Demo-
Gratis have taken the President at his
word in promising them fair play on
other legislation. and will act first on
his pet legislative measure, they will
lose no time after it is out of the way
in passing several tariff revision meas
ures.
Plan to Lower Duties.
The day after the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill is reported to the House the ma
jority of the Ways and Means Commit
tee according to the plan to be SUBJ
mitted to the caucus tonight, will offer
a bill lowering duties on agricultural
implements and on supplies which the
farmer is obliged to buy. There will be
about a hundred articles in this bill.
nearly all of the reductions designed
chiefly for the benefit of the farmer.
The items will be taken from a num-
Der of schedules, and will include boots,
Shoes reapers, plows. harness and sad
dlery. harvesters, Irvine. bagging. and
many other articles that draw upon the
farmers pocketbook in the course of the
year.
1t was originally planned first to at
tempt a revision of the wooden schedule,
but on second thought the Democratic
leaders have decided to recommend the
introduction of a sort of companion
piece" to the Canadian reciprocity bill.
1t has been the cry of the Insurgents and
many regulars in the Senate that they
could not vote for the reciprocity agree
ment because it draws upon the farmer
and gives him nothing in return.
Will Embarrnss Insurgents.
The bill which the Democrats will in
troduce Immediately after the Canadian
reciprocity agreement is designed to cut
the ground from under these objections. |
II will. in a measure compensate the far |
mer for the concessions that he is sup
posed to make in the proposed reciproc- |
ty agreement. The Republican insurgents !
in the Senate found themselves in an en-
oarrassing fix in the last session of Con- |
gress as regards reciprocity, and the
Democratic method of handling the sub
ect is likely to put a much Severer test
upon their sincerity.
A revision of the wooden schedule will |
not be undertaken until the measure

Il went to York. Pa. yesterday, and
from the recommendation from the Of
ficials at York, ! feel that l was justi-
fed in taking the step l did. l am
proud, indeed, to have my wife back
home with me- The papers in their
statements of the affair did not give
the absolute facts. and 1 am in a posi-
ton to furnish positive proof of my as
sertions. There was no trip to Nor
folk. and my wife did not have any
companion en- route, as stated. She had
worried over the trouble OF her sister,
and was persuaded by the trio to &C
company them to York. but she re-
GREETED her action that same night,

our trust alone in Jesus. He will all
our sorrows share. and we hope in time
to regain our friendship. Pray for US.

CANNED APPLE-SAUCE

CANNED APPLE-SAUCE
In February or March, while
apples are plentiful, and before
they lose their flavor, it is a good
thing to can them for use in the.
late spring when other fruit Is
scarce. The following is a good
method: Peel and core the apples
and cook without sugar. with as
much water as for ordinary ap-
ple-sauce. Use perfect fruit
them thoroughly
clean and warm. Fill in the
usual way with the boiling apple
sauce and screw on the tops at
once. When the jars are opened,
the sauce may be seasoned to
suit taste. Apples canned IN
this way will keep for an indefi-
mite length of time. We usually
do about fifty cans. We enjoy
apple-sauce IN May and June,
and it will keep until green ap-

SPONGING MATING

One generally sees mating cut
in the right shape about unusual
corners of alcoves, in which con
dition it wears and ravels very
easily. In tiny turns and corners
this method Of ~psocedure may be
necessary, but before doors,
along bias edges and about fire.
places, the mating may be
thoroughly wet with a sponge,
or a piece of white muslin which
has been dipped in water. This
moistening makes the stiff straw
of the mating SO timber that it
can be bent in any direction with
out breaking, and makes a neat,
substantial edge. Even China
mating, which is heavier and
less pliable than the Japanese,
can be treated in this way salts
~factorily, as / have proved by
turning in a breadth Of bias mat
ting before a door many times.
My japanese mating is folded
in about a fireplace with all three
sides bias, and both doorway and
fireplace look neat and attractive.

A MISUNDERSTANDING HINT
Dc not put soap into the water
with which windows are to be
washed. A little borax or house
hold ammonia may be added.
Use very little water. Wipe off
the windoW-casing with a dry
cloth and rub it over the glass
as well before you begin to wash.
This removes the dust which
would otherwise streak the pane.
Thecloth should be well rung out
before it is applied to the glass
and this should be rubbed dry at
once. A small quantity of kero-I
sene added to the water gives a
polish to the glass and in winter
a j little alcohol in the water keeps
from freezing on the pane.
Old newspapers rubbed soft in
the hands are admirable for Civ
ing the glass a final polish.
