IS A PLAIN
UNMITIGATED FRAUD


Sc ction ! includes the whole of
the dutiabe articles and the free
list. Section 2 declares what
shall constitute the minimum
tariff" The closing wrds of
that section are as follows:
''To secure information to
assist the president in the dis
charge Of the duties imposed upon
him by this section (the minimum
tariff), and the Off of : the
government in the adm instr alton
Of the customs laws, the president
is hereby authorized to employ
such persons as he may require"
That is all the law there is for
the creation of tariff board and
that was inserted after sharp
discussion and otter a provision to
create tariff board had been
voted down. To get that section
inserted Senator Hale declared on
the finor Of tn C senate:
lit is not to inquire into the
conditions Of labor in other
countries-the relative cost of
labor there and here. He (the
presidenO is limited to an in
qui ry as to the discIimir alton
that Is made by other countries
against the United States. He So
understands it. | understand that
he so understands it. do not
Relieve and do not expect and
do not fear that the president
would seek to suGply this
authority"
That is all the foundation there
is for declaring that congress
must wait Cor a report from tn
so-called tariff board. 1t seems
strange that the fraud has not
beel Universally d;n)IaceI.
References have been made to it
by Champ Clark aid some
members on the foo Of the house,
but it has never been denounced
as it should have been. Legally
there il no such thing in exist
encea as a tariff board authorized
to make report to congress. on
what tariff rates should BE.
In speaking of the creation of
such a board, Senator Hall said
at is not any tariff commission
that will settle this question in the
future. 1t will be congress that
will settle it; it will be the house
primarily, ard tie senate
secondarily; and no tarfl commits
81 n will add one ounce Of weight
to the deliberations of the two
bodies which must at least settle
all these, questions.
Everybody knows that to be-
true. No tariff board will ever
have a feathers weight IN de-
termlpinE what tariff .ates shall
be. The statement on wh,ch Taft
rJsted the argument fer ais vctoes
Ia fraud. There is no such board
empowered to make airy such re.
port. Every voter should IL in.
formed Of the facts.--St. Joseph

COURT DECISION
Insurance is Held Up On
Executed Men

Washington, Dec.1 S.-The North
western Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany filed with the United States Su-
preme Court a brief of reasons stating
why the company shouldn OF pay a
life insurance policy to the children
of ]. Samuel McCue, former Mayor of
Charlottesville, whow ashanged for
the murder of his wife.
The insurance company maintains
that McCue's children had no right 20
realize on the policy because the in
sured man forfeited his life to the
state in expiation of crime, though
the United States Circuit Court de-
creed that the insurance be paid. The
action filed in the higher court is an
appeal by the insurance company
1t is said that the disposition Of
several million dollars of insurance
policies depends upon the action Cf
the Supreme Court in this case.

UNCLE SAM TAKES HALF
CENTURY TO PAY DEBT

Los. Angeles, Cal, Dec. 18.J"Pay and
$7O4;s ubsistence short
paid, $3.50; deduction forclo thing, 70
cents" Thus reads the bill which
has just been paid by Uncle Sam o
A. o. Garlock, of Escondido, fifty
years after it was presented.
The account between the govern
ment and MIR. Garlock grew out of the
service of Mr.. Garlock in the Forty
second Illinois infantry, in which he
enlisted from Dekalb county, and in
which he served as first sergant and
second lieutenant during the civil
war.
At the close of the conflict Lieuten-
ant Garlock found that the govern
ment was indebted to him in the sum
of 1884. 1t appears that Uncle Sam
did not consider the claim outlawed
even though half century old The
claim bears the date of August 4
1861. Fifty years to a day from the
contracting of the debt a/draft was
drawn in favor of Mr.. Garlock for
I$7.34.

WITH "13" THIS
WEDDING WAS HALTED
Bridegroom and Brides Mother Seiz-
ed With Illness at Hour OF
Ceremony.

Cumberland, Nd, December 49,
All went merry in jesting with the
superstition thirteen" until the very
moment set for the marriage of Geo.
Bayard Clifton, of Baltimore, and
Miss Marion Amick, daughter of Ar
thur H. Amick, awealthybusinessma

byterian church, ond the thirteenth
inst. At 8 o'clock the Rev. DR.. Jas.
E. Moffat, pastor, who was to have
DICTATED, arose and announced to the
throng assembled that the marriage
could not be performed owing to the
sudden illness of the bridegroom and
the brides mother.
The wedding was in defiance of
the superstition of thirteen" The
couple met on the 18th, became en-
gagged on the 18th and elected to
be married on the 18th. Everywhere
the figure 13 was brought into play.
and instead of twelve pieces many
of the wedding gifts had 13, while in
the pre-nuptial parties the13 was ad-
hered to in having that number of
guests.
At the Amick home tonight it was
stated that Mrs. Amick, mother of
thebride-elect, was overcome by nerv-
Gus prostration on thea fternoon set
for the wedding, and toall appear
ances was dea d. Soon faetr 1905
ances was dead. Soon after her col
lapse the groom-elect was stricken at
the Amick home and became uncons-
cious. A stomach pump was used on
Mr.. Clifton, who, it is said, had symp-
toms of ptomaine poisoning.

HOW LONG DO FINGER
PRINTS STAY Fresh?
On Answer Hangs Freedom
or Prison

New York, Dec. 1S-To determine
whether finger prints can be photo
graphed "a hoursa fter they are made,
a test was ordered begun in Magis-
trate Appleton's Court when counsel
for a waiter charged with robbing a
safe raised the objection that prints OF
his clients fingers found on the safe
did not necessarily prove that they
werfe made at the time of the rob-
berry.
At this Captain Faurol, head of the
finger print bureau" of the police de-
partment, replied that finger prints
would dry up in "a hours, or 48 hours
at the most, and could not be photo
graphed.
At the request of the court Captain
Fourot and two attorneys placed their
fingers on a safe in the court room
In five days an attempt will be made
to photograph the impressions if they
are still there, and thus the value Of
the evidence against the prisoner viii
be determined.

Savannah and Chatham county will
witness the execution of a white man
on December %. The man whose f.
nal day is fast approaching is J. c.
Hunter, convicted of killing his wife
two years ago. But he is not to be
hanged without fight being made for
his life, and it is believed that the
fight will be successful.

wiser of Hunter and MIR. F. M Oil
yer, one of his attorneys are sched-
uled to go to Atlanta tonight and
present his case to the governor. They
viii ask that another respite be giyen
Hunter, so that the prison commits
sion and Governor Brown may pass
upon his case later. 1t is possible
that Judge Samuel B. Adams will al
so go to Atlanta and see Governor
SlatOn about the case.
Hunter is not much perturbed over
the APPROACH of the date set for his
hanging. There have been so many
dates like this that he does not get
into a fit of despair now when he
hears he is to die at a certain time.
He has been sentenced twice and re-
spited something like four or five
times, He says the Lord is good
and that He is not going to let an
innocent man be hanged.

The wreck occurred a short distance
from the signal tower at Odessa. The
first section of the train had been
stopped by the tower man because of
freight train in the block ahead tf
it. Railway officials attribute the ac

back to flag the second section The
rear car of the first section was tele-
scoped and the next car to it was
badly shattered. The ten dead were
occupants of the last car, as were
most of the injured.

Atlanta. The subject has become
lively one here, though little progress
has yet been made. A few of the
barber shops have hung up no-tip
signs. and a few of the restaurants
have done likewise, but the majority
of the establishments, practically all
the larger ones, leave it optional, as
ever, with the customers to tip or not
tip as he chooses.
The BARRIERS, walters, bell boys, etc,
are nearly all opposed to the princi-
pie of tipping, yet say they are com
PEELED to accept tips now, because it
is a part of the system, and that the
salaries paid are not large enough
