Now He Is and Now He isn't.

Fairfield, April 26-Special: Carl
W. Morburg was elected auditor OF
Jefferson county. then he wasn't, then
he was. and now he isn't. He will
probably stay in this last condition
for some months, and after that he
may serve the remainder of his term,
which is now nearly four months
gone. This is the uncertain status of
the Jefferson county authorship case.
Three times Jefferson county has
thought the question of who was her
auditor was settled. Moburg was
elected on the democratic ticket in
November by the official count, but
Burkhart contested and was success
full. Momurg appealed to the district
court, and won out, whereupon Burk-
hart filed notice of appeal to the SUI
preme court When Moburg went to
the court house yesterday to take his
office, he was confronted by Burk-
harris notice of appeal, and Burkhart
is still auditor.

FREE LIST DEBATE ON
UNDERWOOD SAYS TARIFF POL

Declares His Aim Is to Aid Farmer
Admits Custom Receipts Would
Drop ss,0oo,ooo.

Washington, April 26.-ln opening
the debate on the farmers free list
bill in the house of representatives,
Representative Underwood of Ala.
bama outlined the position which the
Democrats will assume in revising
the tariff at this and succeeding SEES
sions of the Sixty-second congress.
Mr.. Underwood committed his party
to a straight out tariff for revenue
policy. He promised reduction in
many tariff schedules, which, he as
serted, were prohibitory at present
and therefore non.productiye of reve
nue., He also announced in the house
for the first time ofxcially that the
house would be invited to revise the
tariff schedule by schedule.
Discussing the free list bill. Mr.. I'm
derwood said it had two objects, name
ly: To recognize the great agricul

should not be made to pay taxes on
its tools of trade Or necessities of life
while most of its products were either

agreement.
Secondly, to reduce the cost Of liv
ing to all consumers and to prevent
in times of short crops or through the
manipulation of combinations, a cor
ner on the food products which would
result in a rise in price.
On the general subject of the tar
If Mr.. Underwood said the Democrats
did not propose to levy taxes for the
benefit of any person or industry, but
merely to provide revenue to rur
the government. He said the pending
bill would reduce the revenues OF the
government about eight million dol
lars and the reciprocity agreement
with Canada would make the total re
duction between twelve and thirteen
million dollars.
Mr.. Underwood said the Democrats
did not propose to attempt to make
up this revenue by any resort to tax

reducing the expenses Of government
which, he said. no doubt could bt

Viterbo, Italy, April 26.-The trial Of

juror who failed to appear when the
session was to have been resumed.

time, and they will never be as low
as they have been in the past, despite
the efforts of the government to
propagate the clam, at which many
thousands of dollars have already
been spent at the experiment station
at Fairport, a few miles above Mus.
catine.
Great Quantities Of Shells Stored.
In anticipation of the depletion OF
the clam beds along nearly the full
length of the Mississippi and its trib'
utarfes, as veil as in the smaller
streams of Ohio, Indiana and other
states, by reason of the vast amount
of pearl buttons cut in Muscatine, the
biological station was established by
the government at Fairport. Like
wise, the shrewd Muscatine manu-
facturers began more than year ago
to store away shells for emergencies
that might arise, and it is estimated
that there are 100000 worth OF
shells now in the bullying warehouses
This precaution has also been taken
by other manufacturers who have there
properties strung along the river all
the way from Davenport to Keokuk
even as far south as st. Louis.
All of these factories along the
river are more less affected by the
Muscatine strike, for not half of the
finished pearl buttons tunred out in
this city are cut in Muscatine, but are
shipped in for the finishing process
from the plants in Burlington, Keo
kuk, Oskaloosa, Canton, Mo-, and 9th
er manufacturing towns farther south
Nearly $4,000, 100 is spent annually or
blanks shipped in from the outside.
The scope af the button industry in
Muscatine is tremendous, and com
passed only by the wealth it has pro
duced for those who have gone into
the business. There is a standing
caution whispered to visitors who
come here: If you see any one in
big red automobile, don't ask who he
is: he is button manufacturer" II
dozen years the business has made
nearly that many millionaires ant
many have become independently
rich. There is an example of one maj
who a few years ago was worthless
fellow about town, cast off from so
ciety, who braced himself and con
cluded to be a man. He borrowed
few dollors, bought up some shell:
selling them for a commission. To
