Gait Maxi Season.

&AlE iS0&L S@asOEs
sgd Axworthy. holder of the worlds
half mile record of 59A seconds, trot-
ted over the Boston speedway, has de-
cided to change his gait and invade

but for the last two seasons he has
stepped down the Hudson, River drive
In New York at a two minute clip, and
as q matinee and speedway horse he
has been considered almost invincible.
1t Is therefore a surprise to many
horsemen to learn that this pure, level
gated trotter pace just about as
fast as he a trot, and possibly when
his muscles have become accustomed
to the new gait he win establish a new

The Military Long Termers
All Go to Alcatraz,

will be the place of detention of sol.
diers guilty of purely military of.
fenses.
To save transportation expenses, a
second criminal Jail is created at Ft.
Jay, Governors Island, New York.
The effects Of these changes is to
carry out the recently developed Brit
ish system Of treating deserters and
other soldiers guilty of breaches OF
discipline as subject to reformatory in.
fluences and of segregating them from
the absolutely criminal and vicious
class.

WOOL IS TO
Be PROTECTED
Republican Members of Ways
and Means Committee
Get to Work
WILL DRAFT THEIR OWN BILL
Intend to Go Before the Coun.
try With This Measure
Next Fall.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican
Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee summoned by Representa-.
tive Payne of New York, former chair.
man of the committee, began the prep.
aration of a revised wool tariff
schedule based on the report of the
tariff board and the message of Presi.
dent Taft
President Taft having pronounced
the report of the board as the most
scientific made on the. rbject, admin
istration and Republican leaders in
the House have determined to draft
bill founded entirely on the data.
With this bill, they will go before
the country.
Republican members of the commit
tee who began work on the bill were
Payne, of New York; Dalzell of Penn.
sylvania; Mccall of Massachusetts;
Hill Of Connecticut; Needham of Cali
fornia; Fordney of Michigan, and
Longworth of Ohio.
The President, it is said, will co.
operate with the Republican members
in their work of drafting the BILL which
it is said, will give all branches in
the domestic wool industry the protec.
ton necessary to place them on an
equality with foreign branches.
Raw Wool to Be Protected.
Raw wool of the American Farmer
will be protected enough to keep out
cheap wool from Australia, Argentine
and other countries and the manufac-
turer will be protected in the same
way, the protection representing the
difference between the cost of rails
ing and marketing here and abroad.
It is the purpose of the Republicans
to present their bill to the full ways
and means committee and urge the
Democrats to accept this.
This elimination probably will not
result, as the Democrats under the
leadership of Representative Under
wood, intend to write their own bill,
Immediately after the holidays.
Democratic Bill.
They will compare t.aa tatistics OF
the tariff board with figures of their
collection and probably will get 1t
through the House. Some difficulty
may be encountered in the Senate.
however. Should the Democratic bill
pass both Houses, the administration
leaders will have their own bill on
which to make campaign before the
people.

BRITISH SHIP OWNERS
DEFY UNCLE SAM.
He Must Pay 70 Per Cent More for
Construction, and 40 Per Cent
More for Operating.

,By Special Leased Wire to New sfexicanl
London, Dec. 22.-British ship own
ers apparently are not at all disturb
ed at President Taft's suggestion, con-
tanned in the message he sent to Con-
gress yesterday, that preference
should be given to American ships in
connection with tolls to be charge for
passing the Panama canal.
They argue that outside Of the
coastal trade from which hey are al
ready barred, British ships will con.
tinue to do the carrying trade IF the
United States, even if American ships
are allowed to use the cayal free OF
tolls.
The reason for their optimism is,
they explain, that it costs GO to 70 per
cent more to build ships in America
and 40 per cent more to operate them
than in the United Kingdom.
