There is reason for believing that Fresi-

the action of the Senate committee ana Is
exerting his influence, so far as ne may
with propriety, to have the case receive
thorough consideration before action Is
taken by the Senate.
The opposition has not yet formulated
any general plan and is confined TO the
dissatisfaction OF several Senators with
the committee report. The question gives
rise TO so many complications that many
have not yet made up their minds ana are
reserving decision until the precedents can
be examined and the scope OF the WORK
set for the committee clearly outlined

weight is that it was not the duty OF the

TAFT SAYS HE ERRED
Favors Reforms in immigration
Service.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Jan. 4-President Taft's aid
In correcting the hardships imposed on I'M
migrants coming into the United states
was solicited to-day by twenty-five mem
bers OF the American Association OF For
eign Language Newspapers, headed by
Louis y. Hammerling, who filed protest
in which he said:
We have no objection to the restriction
OF such immigration as in the wisdom OF
our lawmakers may appear undesirable
hut We ask that the laws and the regula,,
tions Hereunder be fairly interpreted and
that the immigrants who come 10 TINS
country receive that liberal chance Tor
which the laws provide.
President Taft recalled his visit to Ellis
Island last fall and the fact that he had
erred in going against the Judgment OF
commissioner Williams and allowing Ger
tain immigrants Williams thought should
be barred from entry TO come In. Il have
since followed those cases in which ] in
ruenced him against his better judgment"
raid the President "and / am obliged TO
make the humilisting confession to YOU
that the outcome vindicated him and
showed that my Judgment was at fault
for lack Of experience"
The President told his visitors he was
in favor OF the reforms they desired and
would do what he could to have them
brought about
II do not think you and 7 differ in the
slightest degree with reference to the re-
suits We ought 10 reach" he said. He
added that he knew Secretary Nagel OF the
Department OF Commerce and Labor was
anxious to administer the immigrant law
not sternly. but mercifully"
Il shall take up your suggestion with
great deal Of interest" he continued Il

parts Of this government that | understand

question Of reapportionment Of Congress
districts. in accordance with the results Oh
the last census ~ present there is mucil
divergence Of opinion as to the wisdom Oh

This provides for increasing the member

For this and other reasons the bill pro-

The Re.ll Isxecutionerrs.

"a bit Of history Is dug up by an
exchange, showing that the special
interests are actually behind the.
movement Of THE legtsldture to be-
bead the STATE tax commissioners.
Prominent men OF the state are
mentioned as among those who are
urging the axe to fab. Here Is
what the exchange says:
HIislory, records an interesting lit
lie incident at Charleston during
the hearing on the proposition TO
impose a production tax ON gas, two
years ago.
Then the agents and hirellngs of
every corporation in the state
gathered in force and attacked the
proposition. Among the most active
were Ex-Governor "A. B. Fleming,
attorney for the Standard OIL Com
Danys and ex4G Governor William A.
MaeCordsle, representative Of rail-
road and coal interests. The yeo-
pies cause was represented by Tax
Commissioner T. c. Townsend alone,
and the unanimous verdict of those
at the hearing was that Mr.. Town
send very badly worsted the dis
tinguished gentlemen, who appeared
as the representatives OF the inter
ests hoping to escape taxation.
It is not unnatural therefore thar
a legislature, dominated by G.. w
Watson, brother-in-Iaw of IA. B.
Fleming, and w. E. Chiffon, a law
partner OF w. A. MacCorkle, should
seek to do away with the tax COM
.mtssloner's department. Why, in.
deed, have an official that gets in
the way of such men as Mr.. Fleming
and Mr.. MacCorkle when they have
schemes to advance or when they
have corporation interests to serve?
Why indeed?

own Medicine is Ritter.

Low tariff ttckles some until it
comes home to them and then it is
a bitter pill, so bitter that 1T can not
be swallowed. Note what is in the
following by the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer:
Senators LaFollette, OF Wisconsin,
and cummins, Of Iowa. and Clapp,
OF Minnesota, have been the pro-
tagonists OF the low tariff idea. All
are Republicans, yet all opposed
the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill, on ac-
count Of the alleged failure to make
SUFFICIENT reductions in tariff
schedules. ans, wrkajH
Now we see how inconsistent low
tariff advocates can be. AN three of
these vigorous opponents of the pro-
tectiye tariff theory as applied to
other states than their own, are in
active opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity treaty, because it lowers
or abolishes duties on Canadian
goods Imported to their own states.
The eloquence of LaFollette. Cum
Minis and Clamp and their associates
was taxed to the utmost in denunci-
alton of protection as applied to
iron, steel, glass and potteries Of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, but
when the lumber and agricultural
interests Of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota are slightly endangered,
the beauties Of tariff revision down
ward do not appeal to them. The Ca
madam reciprocity agreement has
no more vigorous opponents than

No MlntewpEa,ll.

Recognized democratic leaders of
the state, made so by virtue of the
fact that they SO absolutely con-
Etrolled the Democratic membership
of the legislature as to be elected
federal senators in the face of al
most united opposition Of the Demo-
cratic party, do not court an investi-
cation of the charges of bribery
preferred against them and the
charges of bribe-taking preferred
against members Of the legislature
by members of the, Democratic
party, who are Also members Of the
legislature. They announced that
they courted an investigation and
that they would not desire to hold
their seats in the Senate If bribery
should be proved.
IAN effort is made to leave the I'M
preston that there was no bribery,
hut the best way to show that there
was not would be TO have
thorough, honest investigation. This
does not seem to be sought by
either of the two leaders or their
lleutenants. True, the lower branch
of the legislature passed a resolu-
ton to raise committee to investi-
gate, the Charges and the same was
sent to the Senate, where Senator'S
McTutire and MaeCorkIe, Chief lieu
tenants of the two state leaders of
the party, have succeeded in pigeon
holing the resolution. Senator
MadCorkle has not hesitated to as
sert that there was no bribery.
Perhaps, he does not regard out
right purchase of votes as bribery
and is inclined to view the situation
as his law partner did when he de-
clared that the only thing one OF the
senatorial candidates had when he
lefthomewas one vote and a check
book. Senator McIntlre has not
been so frank about the matter,
and 1t is evident from his action in
delaying and possibly warding off
all action along the line OF investi-
ga that he recognizes the fact that
there was bribery, SO much of it inI
fact that an investigation would
greatly increase the population oil
the penttentiary, which in turn
would increase the tax burdens Of
the state.
Another object in blocking an In
vestigation may be the fear that the
United States Senate might get busy
with Senator Watson along the lines
of the Lorimer investigation. And,
of course, Senator Watson's expul-
sion from the Senate would also
mean that of Senator Chiffon, both
having obtained their election, ac-
cording to Democratic members of
the legislature, through fraud and
corruption OF the ballot.
So, 1t seems there is not to be
even q withdrawing. The Chiffon
Watson combination. in the State
Senate is afraid to permit even a
probe that might result in no more
than that. 1t says to the people by
its own action that the risk would
be too great. Guilty hut not con-

DEADWOOD DICK A VAGRANT
The Once Wealthy Hero of Thous-
and Dime Novels Languishes
in Denver Jail.

DENVER, Col.-Deadwood Dick,
the hero of a thousand dime novels,
has been languishing in the county
jail at Denver as a vagrant.
Walter Richard Morrison is his
real name, but as Deadwood Dick his
entrance on the stage of the world
was to play leading part in one Of
the most exciting dramas the west
has ever known. AS Walter Richard
Morrison his exit in the world is to
play the lowest part on the stage of
the life as it is found in every large
city in the country Recently, how
ever, he was held as a vagrant in
the Denver Jail.
His life history is one full of ro-
nance and pathos. In his younger
days he was one of the men who aid
ed in the making of the great west.
Today he is an old man, past three
score and ten, for whom life SEEM
ingly holds but little. But even in
his present condition he is not dis
heartened. Although, to use an ev-
ery-day expression, he is down and
out, he still finds something to live
for, but his greatest JOY and pleasure
is in telling of the days when he was
a scout with Custer.
Deadwood Dick has been a famil-
lar sight in Denver for Is years. He
was at one time wealthy, and until
seven years ago he was in comforta-
bic circumstances. But since that
time he has been eking out an exist
ence by manufacturing and selling an
insect powder. The old man was a
pitiful sight as he sat in the Jail.
He has long black hair that almost
reaches to his waist, and this, he
says, is the pride of his life.
