Before surrendering the Office he
had held by force since November,
1876, Chamberlain made bitter ad-

which he accused Hayes and his cab

the presidency of the United States.
At IL O'Clock. on April II, 1877,

TdEIR BLUFF CALI Ed
HYPoCRICY OF 1NsURGENT RE-
PUBLICANS EXPOSED.
Kitchen, of North Carolina, Corners
Them and Pulls OFF Their Mask Of

The opening arguments for and
against the Canadian Reciprocity bill
was made in the house Saturday, in
two striking speeches. Claude Kit
chin of North CaroIna, one Of til.
leading Democratic speakers, ad-
dressed the house for three hours in
favor of the measure, arraining the
Republican argument of protection
for the farmer, and characteriing it
as ''humbug.'
Following him, Asher G.. Kinds,
Maine, for Is years the parliament
tary clerk of the house, made his first
speech as member Of the body, and
aligned himself in opposition to the
treaty il an address devoted to the
support of protection for the farmers
of the nation. The reciprocity treaty,
he said, threatened national prosper
ity in threatening to take away from
the farming communities the protec-
ton to their products, necessary to
their continued prosperity and devel-
opment.
It was day full OF interesting de-
velopments and incidents. Mr.. Kit
chin, skillful in repartee, drew fire.
quent Interruptions from the Repub-
lican side, and kept the house in a
turmoil He paced up and down
tie main aisle of the house, arraign-
ing the leaders of the Republican
side, who have fought for the protec-
tive principle, paying particular at
l>..ention to Representative Dalzell,
Pa. He pictured President Taft as
coming to the Democrats on bended
knees TO solicit their support.
The success Of the presidents de-
sire for reciprocity with Canada de-
pended upon the Democrats, he said.
ooh, my friends" said Mr.. hit
chin, chow the viccissitudes of Amer
lean politics humiliate the pride OF
even president. We were impossi-
BILE obstructionists, and we utterly
failed in anything that was senst-
BILE; and yet before that great pom
tical utterance is cold upon his lips,
the desperate necessity of discredit-
ed administration sent this president
on bended knees begging before this
Democratic majority
Interruptions from insurgent Re-
publican members injected much in
teresting debate into the Kltchin
speech. He was asked if he would
vote for free lumber, free sugar, less
protection on cotton goods, and like
| reductions of the tarin.
81 will vote for free lumber" said
Mr. LaFollette, Wash, whom Kit
chin had characterized as represent
ing the lumber interests, "if you will
vote for free sugar
"All right" said Mr.. Kitchin, "1'll
vote for both Of them
will you vote to put all truS1 con.
trolled articles on the free list?" de-
manded Mr.. Lenroot of Wisconsin.
"Yes," said Mr.. Kitchin, "and with
| in four or five days we will bring in
free list bill that will give you all
that opportunity"
Mr.. Kitchin expressed pleasure at
seeing the insurgents 'oahc.ns
around the fires with the distlng-
uished stand-patters of protection
singing hosannahs and hallelujahs t.

4 GREAT SENSATION CREATED
IN LOS VEGAS, N. NJ.
Twelve Thousand Dollars Is Paid for
the Return Of the Lad Who Was

kidnapped.
There is great sensation on at
Los Vegas, N. M. Implicated by the
confession Of Joe Virgins, former
life convict, viii and John Rogers,
uneles of little Waldo Rogers, were
arrested for completely in the lads
abduction. For his return $4,000
ransom was paid, VIII Rogers acting
as agent for Mrs. Rogers.
The disclosures have aroused the
city to a degree Of excitement that
the authorities fear may result In a
demonstration against the prisoners.
The accused are in the county jail
which is guarded by a large force Of
deputies.
The arrest Of Virgins came late
Tuesday. His confession, which fol-
lowed, gave a new and sensational
turn to the mystery, which for more
than ten days has surrounded the
kidnapping Of little Waldo Rogers,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Rogers,
and his safe return upon the pay
ment of $4,000 ransom.
According to the story told by
Virgins, he first became acquainted
with Jim Rogers through the law firm
by which the latter was employed aud
which was instrumental In getting
Virgins pardoned from the peniten-
tiary. Virgins says that while work
in in the coal mines at Madrid, n.
NJ, he received a letter from John
Rogers, suggesting scheme for max
ing $4,000 "easy money"
Virgins says he came to Los Vegas
in few days and later entered into
the plot. Waldo Rogers, the two
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. T.
Rogers, and the grandson Of H. L.
Waldo, Kansas City millionaire,
was Kidnapped from the family :es-
idence on the night of March 20.
Taking advantage Of the absence
from the city Of the boys father two
masked men went to the Rogers
home shortly before midnight and at
the point of a revolver compelled
Mrs. Rogers to dress the child for a
might ride and deliver him to them.
They repeatedly assured her that
oli1J mould ,,n+ ho of and
that he would be returned safely pro-
vided the police were not informed
and $4,000 in small bills was paid
to their representatives.
They named lonely spot II niles
north of Los Vegas as the place whore
the money was TO be delivered by
Mrs. Rogers representative, who was
TO come to the rendezvous alone the
following day.
Mrs. Rogers secured $4,000 the
following morning and delivered it to
Will Rogers to carry to the place of
meeting.
Rosers returned Thursday night
with the child, who was well and un-
harmed. He told Mrs. Rogers and
later the authorities that he had met
at the appointed place man who, al
| ter receiving and counting the mon
ey, directed him to canyon Is miles
south of the place Of meeting, where
he found the boy lying in an arroyo,
wrapped in a blanket.
A reward of $4,000 was offered
for the capture and conviction Of the
! '-::5.aPrers and the vicinity was
ablaze with indignation.
