ed by her position, Mrs. Edith Melber,
the self-confessed murderess other four
year-old boy, today calmly took up
the routine of the Albany county jail
in which she is confined. Closely
guarded to prevent IN attempt at suicide,
she spends most OF her time reading
newspapers and talking with her at
tcndant. Sunday she frightened up
considerably and today she seems to
have recovered completely.
No visitors are allowed her, although
she expressed a desire to see Howard
Kirk, OF Schenectady, the man who il
is said she wanted to marry.
Every precaution has been taken tc
prevent her from committing suicide.
Even the stays of her corsets have been
cut out and an attendant constantly
watches her.
So little credence is given by the
police theory today. that she was aided
in her, crime by man, that practically

ended.

today that she had taken life policy

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 16

THE presidency with which Presl-
dent Trit clings to the notion OF fortify-
ing the Panama canal after nearly
everybody, save the army and navy
boards, has abandoned it, betrays an
obstinate trait in his character. Still
he paws so much Difference to public
opinion as to come down from S19, 5OO,-
900 to So, 100000 as beginning OF the
appropriations. This, he thinks, is so
urgent that he Goes not wish to give
congress little time to deliberate upon
it, although the canal will not be open
ed for navigation for several years.
There is no danger that any OF the
maritime nations OF the world would
attack the Panama canal after giving IN
guaranty of its neutrality. But II
vague fear is expressed that one OF the
petty states OF Central or South Amer
lea might make a land expedition to
destroy its Gatun dam and thus prevent
its navigation In that case, says the
Philadelphia Record, force OF cavalry
and infantry would be OF much more
service than sea Notifications. Yet 1t
is difficult to conceive that any OF those
nations would be so foolhardy as to
make such an attempt, with the GER
tainty OF condign punishment.

She requested the detective and Miss

said. Mrs SchcnIi left shortly and
the patient was much worse"
The night of Mrs. Schenk's arrest
Mrs. Klein was alone with the prisoner

subject is complex and hardly sus-

speeches. II all who have indicated
their purpose to discuss it carry out
that intention, the debate will occupy

that a motion will be made to set day
early in the next session on which this

COMMUNICATED
A REDUCTION OF TARIFF.

While 4 great deal has been said
and written about Il reduction in our
present tariff laws, none of the writer's
has ever shown that such reduction
would be OF material advantage to the
consumers. Under present conditions,
the consumers may rest assured that
no matter how far tariff reduction
may reach, or the number OF articles
placed upon the free tariff schedule,
they will never become beneficiaries
to tho extent OF one cent. The COM
bination OF capital, and the distribut-
ing points OF such combinations, will
be sure to fix the prices for all con-
sumcrs who may apply. These gi-
gantic money combines therefore not
only receive all the benefits OF a tariff
reduction on the commodity they sell
but also add fabulous profits. Free
hides do not reduce the price OF leather,
nor do we have our shoes ono cent
lower than when the leather dealers
paid TO the government tax OF 90
por cent, on hides. This is but one
illustration, bat it is applicable to
each and every article that may be re.
duced or put upon free tariff seized.
ule. so far rs the poor consumers
land they represent large majority
OF the people OF this uniou) are con.
cerned, it would be far better to allow
the tariff to remain as it now stands
and for the government to collect
these duty charges and to turn them
into the public treasury rather than
10 allow these money combines to cor
rel and receive the whole benefit OF
any tariff reductions that may here
after be made. Fines against these
gigantic corporations amount to moth
ing, for the reason that the controllers
OF the necessities OF life can raise OF
lower their prices at will and il a fine
be incurred they generally raise the
price OF their commodities so as to
make tile public pay the bill, What
the people need, and need badly, is for
the interstate commerce commissioners
to be Empowered to fix the profits Of
these money combines. with penalties
OF Imprisonment at hard labor rather
than fines for violation. Then and
not until then will the public receive
the benefit Of any tariff reductions that
may hereafter be made, And million

MR.. finley ON RATES.
Attacking the entire foundation

Attacking the entire foundation o.
the protest made before the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the shippers
OF the country against the proposed
rate increase OF the railroads, President
W. W. Finley, OF the Southern Rail
way, on Saturday night declared that
the ouly just method OF determining
the reasonableness OF transportation
charges is to measure them by the SER
vices performed"
He declared that neither capitalize.
ton nor cost OF railway construction
could have any bearing on the fixing OF
any specific rate" Mr. Finley was
addressing the Washington Traffic Club,
at o smoker in Washington.
When rates have been determined by
this method it follows that whatever
remains to the railway as the net result
OF its operation is the property of the
owners, he said. After railway has
provided proper service and accommo-
dations it has discharged its full duty
to the public, and the owners are en-
titled to the full use and enjoyment OF
the profits, Mr.. Finley declared.
