PASS BODY AT SEA
Steamer Sighted Corpse Believed &c
Be Postmaster Ashursts.

Philadelphia, Feb. q. A floating
body which bore a resemblance t.
Richard J.. Ashurst, postmaster here
who mysteriously disappeared from
Atlantic City several weeks ago, wa
sighted at sea Sunday by the fruit
steamer Admiral Schley.
The body was sighted fifty-one miles
south OF Winter Quarters lightship al
a point about 100 miles south Of Al
lantic City. The northeast storm that
was sweeping the coast on the day the
postmaster disappeared might have
carried the body in this direction, had
Mr.. Ashurst fallen from the million
dollar pier into the sea, as many be
lieve.
The Admiral Schley, running at a
speed OF fifteen knots, passed about
twenty feet from the body, which was
floating face downward. A black coat
clothed the upper part Of the BODY
and the mans hair apparently was
iron gray.

Senator favOrS Reciprocity
With Canada.
SO WRITES THE PRESIDENT

Stand Patters Loath to Be-

so WRITES THE PRESIDENT

Washington. Feb. 21.-Senator Al.
drich, chairman OF the finance com.
mittee OF the senate. has written to
President TAFT that he fayors the con
lrmation OF the Canadian reciprocity
agreement
Whether the letter makes promise
OF assistance in getting action in the
senate al the present session has not
been disclosed. but senator's who have
seen the letter intimate that the
Rhode Island senator will do all he
can to aid the president in carrying
his program TO success.
The announcement that Senator Al
drich. whose name is attached 10 the
existing tariff act. had subscribed 70
the terms OF the reciprocal agreement
with Canada. was received with great
surprise In the senate. especially by
the "standpat senator's. who have
come out against the agreement on
the ground that il Is not In compll-
ance with the tenets OF the Republi-
can party on the subject OF protection.
Loath to Believe II.
Some OF these senators were loath
TO believe the report that the chair.
man OF the finance committee, who In
tariff fights has always been found on
the side OF protection for every indus
try. whether manufacturing, agricul
tural or mining. had Endorsed the
presidents program for freer trade
with Canada
No announcement was made at the
White House in respect to the letter.
and there was considerable specula'
ton at the capitol as to whether the
message would be made public.
Early in the present session Sena-
tor Aldrich was compelled to leave
Washington on account OF his health
lie is spending the winter at Jekyl
Island, Georgia, and although much
better than when he left Washington,
II Is not likely he will be able TO take
any further part in tariff legislation
as his service in the senate will end
March 4. His letter. therefore, even II
made public. can have no effect other
than to ease the minds Of some stand
pat" senators. who are inclined to vote
for the Canadian agreement against
their convictions.
Soon after the Canadian agreement
was sent to congress and 1t was re-
ported there was little chance for &C.
ton In the senate at the present ses'
sion. President Taft wrote 10 Senator
Aldtich. II Is understood that the ex.
ecutlve urged the veteran tariff bill
maker to come back and take charge
OF the fight for the measure in the
senate. At one time. it was rumored
that Mr.. Aldrich might be back. but
this report was denied.
Expect Extra Session.
Senators who discussed the state
ment issued by Representative Nc.
Call. following his Sunday interview
with President Taft, construed 1t to
mean that an extraordinary session Of
congress surely would be called by the
president in the event that the senate
failed to act on the agreement, and
that the statement was issued with
the presidents sanction, II not direc
ton. Theer is no doubt that 1t filled
some senator's with CONSERVATION,
while some others felt that 1t was only
gentle reminder from the White
House that the big stick" still was In
working order.
