Ways and Means CON-
mittee Report Favor
ably On Reciprocity
Reduce Tariff Rev.
enueS Over Ten Mil
lion Dollars

WASHINGTON, D. c., April TO-
The majority report on the ways and
means committee on the so-callsd
farmers free list bill, submitted to
the house today by Chairman Under
wood, is a synopsis of the Democratic
political argument and analysis of the
proposed duty exemptions, report
that the bill would reduce the tariff
revenue over ten million dollars, based
on importations of the last fiscal year,
an amount described as "inconsidera-
Bile in comparison with great saving
and advantages to all Of our people
from additions to the free list pro-
vided for"
Quoting President Taft's recent Ca
madam reciprocity speeches, the report
seeks to convey the impression that
the administration is convinced that
the protective tariff rates are too
high.

Much Peace Talk AfIoat

Trouble Seems Near
Battle of Aqua Pieta and
lossOflifeAppears Re-
spOnsib|efor Act

MEXICO CITY, April ia prop
osition for an armistice, pending ne
gotiation for a settlement of Mexico's IS
international troubles, was received
by the department of foreign relations
from Washington, presumably from
DR.. Vasquez Gomez. A reply was re-
turned in which it was indicated that
the Diaz government looked with ia
vor upon its suggestions.
The armistice proposal appeared to
be the outgrowth Of the battle of
Aqua Prieta, and the loss of life and
bodily injury in Douglas by the fire
from the Mexican side. 1t points to
the dangers of international compli-
cations which might follow a contin-
uation of the conflict.
Minister DeLabarra sent to Wash
iDgton an answer to the proposal,
made by an agent of the revolution
lists. In it are stipulated minor terms
10 which there can be no objection.
Before full agreement is entered
into every detail of the proposal is to
be submitted to Francisco /. Madero
jr., the leader of the insurrectos.
SO far have the negotiations now
gone that it is not expected that Ma
dero will longer oppose the overtures
his agents have made for peace. 1t
is believed no time will be lost by the
rebels or by the government in. con-
cluding the arrangements for armis-
tice and that as soon thereafter as
possible the drafting Of terms for a
permanent peace will begin. 1t will
not be at all surprising if the armies
in the north receive orders within the
next forty-eight hours to cease opera
tions or before beginning the threat.
cred battle near Juarez.
DR.. Vasquez Gomez, the head of the
agency of Mexican revo-
lutionists at Washington, admitted to-
day that an armistice had been sent
to the Mexican government and that
a favorable reply had been received.
1t was learned that he had telegraph
ed the insurrecto junta in Ell Paso,
t. communicate this information To
General Francisco l. Madero jr., who
is in the field, and to obtain from him
at once the definite conditions upon
which he would agree to the armistice.

A prominent person who lived for
many years in Covington was

drove a dray and' cart, haul -
freight for the merchants and We
and ohher things for the inhah-5sa "
of the town. He first lived a 81
distance across the Boguc Falsyz
bridge. One Saturday evening /,
was on his way home with a barrel
of -four and jug of whicky. When
he drove up on the bridge his flour
rolled of, and there being no rail

stood for while and shed tears
over his loss But a bright idea
struck him. Going up to his house,
he got his wife's pitcher OF yeast,
came back ard was pouring the
Yeast in tho river wherc hic -four
sank. Jim Bowie came along ana
asked him what he was pouring the
lyeast in the river for. He replleo'
''Me barrel of -four has rolled into
the river and they tell me yeast Will

Ned went into tho army and was
a. faithful soldier until the close OF
the war. i,
His wife died and he concluded
to marry again. He and the woman
of his choice got no licence or minis

on the people: 1--WE, E. R. Shahan

together as man and wife until death

after the war and many now living

WOULD REGULATE
SIZE OF HAT Pins
Aid. Charles E. McCarty To In
troduce Ordinance Limiting Ex-
posed Part To One Inch.

Long hat pins are doomed in De-
troit.
Long suffering man has finally re-
belled. literally goaded to fury by
jabs in the eye from the pesky, sharp
pointed things, he has decided to re-
sort TO drastic measures for his self
preservation.
Following the lead OF the Rochester,
n. Y, council, Aid. Charles E. McCar-
~, one of the new members from the
Thirteenth ward, will introduce IN
the common council at an early date
en- ordinance regulating the length of
hat pins. Ii will provide that no hat
pin shall extend more than one inch
beyond the crowd Of the hat. McCar-
~ says the ordinance may go SO far
as to require women to wear guards
on their hat pins, such as are now
used on stick pins. Violation Of the
ordinance will be punishable by a
heavy fire or Imprisonment, or both,
within the discretion of the court
Il am tired Of being jabbed by hat
pins every time get into a street
car said Aid McCarty. "Only day
or two ago | got 1t right in the eye
and thought for a second the blamed
had put my eye out. i made up my
mind then to prepare an ordinance,
and | think / will have the support OF
every man In town"
