President Taft, his pleadings for
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
ignored by Republican senators on
March 4 proclaimed the convocation of
Democratic congress into special
session. At noon on April 4 the presi-
dent will send to this new congress q
message urging 1t to adopt the meas
ure which the leaders of his own po-
litical party throttled. The summon.
ing of the sixty-second congress into
extra session was the final event of
frenzied day. In the senate, reel.
procity had been strangled. In the
house the tariff board bill had been
killed by filibuster. Then congress
had taken it's final adjournment.
Hardly had the gavel fallen, when SEN
ator Joseph Welden Bailey of Texas
contributed to the general tumult of
the MONDAY. Piqued by the repudia-
ton of his leadership by his fellow
Democrats of the senate, Mr.. Bailey
angrily wired his resignation to Gov
ernor Colquitt of Texas. There fol.
lowed comic opera struggle in which
half dozen of Bailey's friends sought
to restrain him, the while the Texan
protested that the Democratic party
forever more must do without him.
And hen he relented and now the sen.
iatorial toga is folded about him.

TAKE $4,000 FROM BROKER
Two Men Are Reported by Aged Man
to Have Knocked Him Down and
Stolen His Securities.

New York City.-What appears to
have been one of the boldest, safest
and most successful robberies in the
history of the financial district was
reported here after Aaron Bancroft,
S8, the oldest active broker in New
York, made the discovery that he had
been tricked out of nearly $4,000
worth of securities in the basement
vaults Of the Produce Exchange build
ing. According to the excited state
ment Of Mr. Bancroft young man
knocked him down, seemingly by acci-
dent in a narrow hallway as he was
on his way to the safety deposit box
Of his firm, George Bancroft & Co.
to lock up a paper wallet containing
the securities. Another young man
helped to pick him up and brush him
off. One of the two recovered his en-
velopes. which he had dropped and
Mr.. Bancroft believed then that it
was returned to him intact. He put
the envelope in the box and came
away and there it remained undis-
turbed until his son, George Bancroft,
took it from the box, opened it and
found that 1t contained a sheaf of
newspaper scraps and nothing more

realized that his wife was bestowing
her affection upon Baron Paterno ut
clandestine meetings and he instituted
legal proceedings with view to OBJ.
tanning a judicial separation. The
courts decision was to have been
given out March 2, but because of the
high social standing of the parties
concerned the presiding judge decided
to attempt reconciliation. 1t is
said the prince was ready to pardon
his wife's unfaithfulness IL she would
consent to renounce Baron Paterno.
The princess acquiesced. On her way
to court, where the affair was to be
finally settled, she stopped at the
hotel for last meeting with the
baron. According to the authorities
Baron Paterno decoyed the princess to
the hotel where he demanded that she
elope with him. When she refused
he strangled her, afterward stabbing
her. From papers found among the
effects of the princess it was plain
that she intended to compel him to
break off their relations.

CHAOS. IN BLACK REPUBLIC
Haytien Prisoners Sentenced to be
Shot Are Often Buried Alive, Re-
ports Buckeye Man.

New York City.-Passengers ar
irving from Haiti on the Hamburg
American steamship Albingia had
thrilling tales to tell of the disorderly
conditions prevailing on the island.
w. A. Placier of London, o., who has
been at Port Au Prince for the past
six weeks engaged in the installation
of an electric light plant, said there
was absolutely no organization in the
city. Soldiers, even some of the nu-
merous generals, sell their arms in
order to get some ready money, as
their wages are so uncertain that they
have to forage for themselves. The
usual ration is stick of sugar cane.
The city is filthy in the extreme and
the dress of some of the native women
very scanty. Prisoners sentenced to
be shot. he said, are often buried
alive.

Cleveland, O.-Cleveland is to be
the battle-ground for a fight by the
United States government to break up
what is alleged to be one OF the most
powerful and the most complete
monopoly in the country. Announce
ment Of the fight was made with tho
filing Of a suit in the United States
circuit court by District Attorney Will
liam L. Day against the General Elec-
trio Co. of New York, the National
Electric Lamp Co., which has It's head
quarters in Cleveland. and 33 other
electric light and supply houses.
The petition alleges that the 35,
companies are banded together in an
unlawful conspiracy to restrain trade
and build up a monopoly in incan-
descent electric lights, that they al
ready control more than 81 per cent.
Of the country's supply, and, through
unlawful contracts, combinations and
conspiracies, maintain unfairly high
prices and throttle competition. Three
other Cleveland companies beside the
National Electric Lamp Co. are made
defendants. They are the Brilliant
Electric Co., the Buckeye Electric Co.
and the General Incandescent Lamp
Co. Ohio firms outside of Cleveland
charged with being members of the
trust are the Banner Electric Co. of
Youngstown, the Colonial Electric Co.
OF Ravenna, Economy Electric Co. of
Warren, Fostoria Electric Lamp Co. of
Fostoria, the New York & Ohio Co.
of Warren, Shelby Electric Co. of
Shelby, Standard Electrical Mfg. Co.
of Warren, Sterling Electrical Mfg.
Co. of Warren, Warren Electric Speci-
atty Co. of Warren, Fostoria Bulb &
Bottle Co. of Fostoria, and the Libbey
Glass Co. of Toledo. The National
Electric Lamp Co. of Cleveland, in
corporated under the laws of New
Jersey, May 3, 1901, is charged with
being the keystone of the trust, this
company, however, being controlled
by the General Electric Co. of New
York. 1t is alleged that formation of
the trust started soon after 1904, the
year in which the United States pat
ents on carbon fllament" incandes-
cent lamps expired. BY August, 1906,
it is charged, the lamp output was in
the hands of specific combination.
This combination, the petition states,
was known as the Independent lamp
manufacturers association, and was
formed for the purpose of, and did
fix and prescribe, prices, allot bust
ness and customers, and fix the terms,
rules and regulations of the sale of
all its mebers. The capital is now listed
as $5,00o,O00. OF stock in the holding
company 1872 per cent is owned by the
General Electric Co., 1t is charged.
