James H. Brooks, Stratford team a laberer of 541 Water street, were held in bail of s1.00O for a hearing in the city court Monday on the charge of burglary. Both were captured yes terday through clever work of Detec- tive Sergeant Hall.
 Investigation last night following the arrest of the two men. both negroes led to the discovery that the cellar of a vacant residence at Washington avenue and Catherine street. owned by Mrs. Jane $. Cody, S6 Catherine street, was flooded with water as a result of the depredations of the pair. They tore out the lead pipe in the basement of the dwelling, leaving the water running. flooding the cellar and causing damage which with the loss in the plumbing fixtures will reach s2O0 @ .s.E 3A
 Brooks confessed this morning that Morris met him in Water street yes terday and persuaded Brooks to ac- company him to the Cody house. Be- fore then Morris had been there and prepared the loot to carry away. The fact that the shoes and trouser legs of Morris were soaked when he was arrested is taken to substantfate the story told by Brooks.
 The police do not believe the two negroes are the men who stole out plumbing at the tenement at 266 North Washington avenue. reported yester- day. The pair were seen carrying their bags of loot by Detective Hall, who overlook them by means of a passing automobile, and forced them to speedy admission of having stolen the stuff.

LAMP COMMITTEE SIGNS CONTRACT
 FOR FIVE YEARS
American Street Lighting Con- pany Gets Award--50O Lamps
 the Minimum Instead of GOA

The Aldermanic committee on Lamps last night signed the contract with the American Street Lighting Co for gas and gasoline lamps for five years. On motion of Alderman Jackson the com mIttee fixed the minimum number of lamps at 5G0, instead of 600. Chair man Conlin explained that there is no advantage in fixing 600 for the com pany charges $5 per year per lamp, no matter how many are used.
 Although GOA lamps are in use. the change in the. contract will give the clty leeWay for change in the num- Der at any time d new lamp more eff ficlent than those furnished by the American Street Lighting Go. is pro- duced.
 The committee intends to increase the number of tungsten electric lamps in use. The committee has for the present given up considering the tung- sten light seriously because Of ,heir high price. The electric company is furnishing three lights beneath via ducts where gas lamps are ineffective, at $2S per lamp. It was thought that the company would meet the price of the gas ligh ing if it could furnish Q hundred more lamps. The United H. luminating Co. came down to S27 but was not a formal bidder for any part of the contract
 One of the concessions that the Bal tlmore Go. was obliged to make be- fore it secured the con ,ract, was the location of a telephone in the home of its local representative, J. H. Kelly in order that complaints may be sent to him promptly. Chairman Conlin said last night that i, was amazing how the number of complaints about lights has decreased in the few days that the telephone has been in place.

boon to our farmers AS a matter of
fact this provision will not benefit
one farmer to the amount of one cent.
We exported to Canada last year 1OO,-
100000 pounds of wire, and imported
practically none. The removal Of this
duty is a fraud, pure and simple, in
tended to fool the farmers.
eff this was an honest reciprocity
measure, intended to encourage trade
with countries which admit our pro-
duets on favorable terms, it would pro-
vide for the free admission of all ar
ticles manufactured in Great Britain.
That country has for many years al
lowed all our products to be imported
free of duty, and it would seem only
appropriate that we should r~ecipro-
cate by admitting her products to our
markets.
cit is claimed by the distinguished
advocates of reciprocity that the
abolition of the duties ON Canadian
farm products is necessary in order to
save the protective system. There
could not be a graver mistake. Do
these gentlemen really believe that
100000 farmers will sit idly by, af-
ter the trifling protection now afford.
ed them has been abolished, and per-
NIT the continuance of a system un-
der which all the manufactured arti-
cles they buy are taxed from IS to so
per cent? They should know better.
We are here to serve notice that the
farmers are united on this question,
and are determined that if duties on
farm products are reduced, the duties
on manufactures must follow. This is
not a threat. 1t is a simple state
ment of fact. 1t was said long ago
by one of the greatest men this coun-
try or the world has ever produced
Abraham Lincoln: This nation can
not long continue half slave and half
free.' We are here to declare that our
national policy of tariff taxation can
not long continue high protection to
manufacturers and free trade for the
farmers, and we respectfully urge that
every principle of common Justice,
fair dealing and equal rights to all
classes and citizens, demans that the
farming industry be accorded the
same protection that is given to all
other industries
