Woman in Blcomers Put in Chain Gang
lola, Kan, city officials, except Mu-
nicipal judge Smeltzer, are up in arms
because a woman has been sentenced
to don bloomers and work on the jail
street gang.
Judge Smeltzer sentenced Mrs. Ella
Reese to the gang, and ordered that
officials provide her with bloomers.
Street Commissioner Glynn refused
to have a woman in the chain gang
and other officials say they will not
allow her to serve the sentence.
The city commissioners, Mayor Boil
linger and Mr. Glynn have pored over
the statutes trying to find some law
invalidating the sentence, but failed.
Judge Smeltzer insists that Mrs.
Reese must work upon the streets as
ordered by him.
One of the commissioners has asked
that she be made to darn socks and
mend clothing for some of the other
prisoners.

Senator FRYE Is Dead.

The state of Maine lost its senior
United Sta es senator and an almost
lifelong faithful servant when Will
liam Pierce Frye died at the home of
bis daughter, Mrs. Helen White, In
Lewiston, Me.
At his bedside we're Mrs. White and
his other daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs,
who also resides in Lewiston. AL
though he had been i'll for long
time, death came suddenly.
For several weeks his condition waa
not considered dangerous. Up to last
week he rested in comparative com
fort, spending much of his time IN
reading or having some member oi
his family TO read to him.
A general breakdown, due to ad
vanced age, is ascribed as the cause
of death.

blow safe to Hide EvIdence.

At the end of a grilling examina
tion in the office of Captain Richards
in the Seventh street police station
Jersey City, Samuel Brown, the
cashier for the Long Dock Milling
company, whose Office, e8 Pavonia
avenue, had been set on fire Sun
day night, lost his nerve and
told bit by bit to the detectives how
he had been stealing money from the
firm for months, and how, becoming
desperate, he had hired a man to
break into the office and destroy the
books. which would soon tell of his
guilt. He was short about $2500.
The man who did the job, Frank
Walsh, who had been known to the
Newark police for years as a tough
character, died in st. Francis hos
pital. Jersey City, where he had been
taken, frightfully burned, after a
crude attempt to conceal his crime by
arson.
It was partly the fact that Walsh's
death had been laid to him and part
" that the detectives had confused
him and led him from one conflicting
statement after another that finally
made Brown break down and make his
written confession to the police. The
statement involved also Patrick J
Timmins, a public accountant in New
ark. and for years friend Of Brown
CAPTAIN Richards, with a detective
went to Newark and arrested Tim

MPROMISE ON
WOOL TARIFF
COnfereeS Decide on 29 Per
Cent. Ad VaIOreTn.
MAY ADJOURN NEXT WEEK
An Early Agreement on the Farmers
Free List Bill Is Also Expected and
Congress Will Then Adjourn.

The entire conference committee of
of the house and senate on the wool
tariff revision bill agreed on a fiat
rate of 20 per cent. on raw wool.
The committee also agreed on the
house classification of wool.
The agreement on these two points
seemed to remove the greatest obsta.
cles in the way of final compromise.
AS a result of the agreement on
wool and expected understanding on
the farmers free list, expectation OF
an early agreement was revived. 1t is
said the two tariff measures will be
sent to the president Monday, his veto
messages are looked for Immediately
after, and adjournment of the extra.
ordinary session may come next We'd
nesday. If there is a slight hitch, the
end OF the session is expected Thurs.
day or Saturday at the latest.
The compromise came out of ne
gotiations between Senator La Fol
lette, insurgent Republican, and Rep
resentative Oscar Underwood, the
Democratic leader of the house.
The original house bill bearing Mr.
UnderwOOd's name provided for duty
of 20 per cent. on raw wool and the
La Toilette hill passed by the senate
placed this duty at 80 per cent. Thf
average between these two woul(
therefore be 271a per cent. so tina
apparently Senator La Toilette ha
scored more heavily than M. Under
wood in the negotiations.
The other duties in the wool tarif
bills usually conform to that on raw
wool
There was much wrangling over tn
classification. Ultimately, Mr.. Bale
suggested a compromise of 2S% pc
cent. Immediately Mr.. underwood
said he would accept 29 per cent,
the house classification should pre-
vail. Mr.. La Toilette assented an
it was agreed to.
Continuing it's work the conferenc
fixed the rate on wool wastes, noil
and shoddies at 20 per cent. to COZ
respond with the rate on regula
wastes. This was an increase owe

Somewhere in the darkness, prob.
ably near New Hamburg, where there
is a split rock cut about 200 feet long
the train had shot into a tunnel, and
the boys, flattened out as they were

Meat Prices TO Go un.

Prices of beef are to be raised and
New York retail dealers say the ad-
vance makes the cost of meat pass

Prices have been steadily advancing
for two weeks, and the wholesalers
say another advance is to come. The
wholesale price of hindquarters of
beef has jumped from II to IA cents,
while pork loins have gone up from
10 to Is cents.
Wholesalers say the cause of the
present advance is the scarcity OF
good cattle in the west and south
