sWINDLERS USE OLD TRICK.
Ienderloin Character Pays $500 for
Six Glittering Pieces of Glass

ienderloin Character Pays $500 for
Six Glittering Pieces of Glass
Two smooth swindlers, who posed
as thieves, but were really matrons
or Market street dealer in cheap
1ewelry, have fleeced a number of
Ienderloin characters of large
sums OF money in the last two
weeks through applying modern
methods to an old trick. One of
tnelr victims, William Snyder. pro-
prletor of a resort in North Ninth
street, has appealed to the police for
the arrest of the men, in hopes of
recovering the $500 they got from
MIN Tor six pieces of glass, which
LIZ mistook for diamonds.
AT the suggestion of the swind-
lers Snyder took two of the dia-
monds to a pawnbroker, who offer
ed to lend him $3.50 upon them.
snyder hastened back to where the
swlndlers were waiting and said he
would buy the six for $500. But
Ione or the rogues, pretending to
suspect that Snyder had carried in
formation to the police, snatched
the two stones from his hand and
moved as though determined to de-
part. ~
Snyder, fearing to lose the chance
10 buy the diamonds, hastily bor-
rowed $500 and gave It to the
strangers. In return, they handed
hlm six glittering pieces of glass.
IL was not long after their depart
ure that Snyder discovered that he
mad been swindled. - Phfladelnhia

tbreshing around the deck. Dennis
came along and his curiosity was so
great that when for a moment the
shark quieted he ventured too
near and the shark seized him by
the lower jaw.
This was bad for Dennis, but he
was caught in such a way that he
also had firm hold on the sharks s
lower jaw. lnterlocked in this way
they held on like bulldogs, though
Dennis squealing was awful to
hear.
The tight ragged for several min

over and over so rapidly that the
eye could hardly follow their gy-

At last Dennis, after a particu-
larly wind whirl, found himself on
top. He was a thoroughly aroused
pig by this time and he planted
his turefeet on the head of the
shark, got good purchase, as sail
ormen say, and tore the sharks
lower jaw away. And the shark
dted and the victory was with
Dennis. who ate so much of his
opponent that he was i'll next day.

This big crop, if it comes, will be

The question is: Who is this

Ihere are other things he can do
to make himself independent OF

profitable prices for the crop, while
every man who must sell is going

Acting together the farmers can

can make arrangements with their

can keep negro tenants from rush

Planting of Potatoes Produces
The State.
When man plants a potato and
gathers from the ground the in
gradients for a gallon of vegetable
soup he is first enraged, then pug
zled, then delighted. Yesterday p.
J.Huckner came into the office with
a lot OF werid things-things that
looked like antedeyuvian creatures
done in miniature. The body was
created out of a potato-a nice lit
Tie yam-and the legs were ILL
formed and the only thing he didn't
pick from the top were onions and
cranberries.
According to Mr.. Rucker it hap
pened thusly: about five years ago
ne planted some slips, or cuttings,
or something like that, to grow
some homemade yams. The agri-
cultural editor, Is out of the city
and therefore slips" is considered
a good word.
Ihese yams acted like perfect la
dies the first year, but started on
their wild cabbage-cotton-pep
tomatto-career in their sophomore
class. When they reached the third
iorm-as we say in dear old Eng
idhu--Mr. Rucker lost all control
of them.
Any day he could walk out in
the garden and wonder whether he
would pluck forth a bale of cotton
or gather peck of picked peppers
from the naughty yams. He does
not know where the yams got the
Idea unless it was from "The Three
Twins" (joke.) Now they are five
years old.
Inc potatoes sprouted and
tomatoes, pepper plants and lots of
other things. Mr.. Rucker says there
Is a square meal in each one of
them. He says each yam tastes fine
with the various flowers, but occa-
sfonally he gets one that is associa-
ted with a cotton boil. This vexes
MIN. He brought basket of the
ottlce OF The State and said he had
other varieties to show. He has.

TARIFF REVENUE WOULD
Be GREATLY REDUCED

Washington, d. c., April 20.-The
majority report of the ways and means
committee on the so-called farmers
free list bill submitted to the house
yesterday by Chairman Underwood is
a merger of democratic argument and
an analysis of the proposed duty ex-
emption. The report shows that the
bill will reduce the tariff revenue
$1O,O16, ,495, based on the Importation
of the last fiscal year.
Quoting President Taft's recent Can
adian reciprocity speeches the report
seeks to convey the impression that
the administration is convinced that
protective tariff rates are too high
'Tn several public addresses the pres
ident has admitted that tariff rates
are too high; that such rates have re
suited in excessive high prices felt es
lpecially in the increased cost of liv
ling that now bears heavily on our peo
pie and that they have not received
the long promised benefits of domestic
competition under high protective du
ties" Referring to the PRESIDENT
statement that the republican party
had modified its policy as to limit il
for purposes of protection to the differ
ence in cost of production here and
abroad, with a reasonable profit to the
United States producer. the commit
tee report says, this is confession
as was the republican platform of 1908
that the theory Of high protective du
ties as put forth by the republican
party has broken down and that com
bination and trusts which prey upon
the people have been fostered by the
tsriff and that under high tariff pro
lection United States manufacturers
have gained unreasonable profit
President Taft is again referred to
in the report quoting from his speech
or February 26, 1911, in which he said
by giving our own people access to
/ the Canadian forests we shall reduce
the consumption of our own, which,
in the hands of few owners, now have
value that requires the enlargement
of our available timber resources.
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1911-04-21

it must be assumed that the phrase was
used in the generally accepted sense,
if there is any" He then sought to
prove his contention that under a ere
publican form of government" as pro-
vided for in the constitution, "the
power to govern exists in the people" /"
He declared that, while he was in
favor of the direct election reforms
which Arizona wanted, he did not be
lieve in pure democracy, which would
be ''too weak and unstable to meet
the demands of nation like our own.
But surely there is happy medium,
middle ground between the unwar-
ranted and corrupt power now exer-
cised by our representatives and sys-
tenn which would destroy this system
and establish in it's place pure dem
ocracy.
Senator Works expressed the hope
that if Arizona were now refused adj
mission, the people there would
stand on their manhood and stay out
side until the politics of this country
is purified, regenerated and elevated
so that their progressive and enlight-
ened constitution will be their sure
passport to statehood"

Washington, d. c., April 20.-De-
velopments yesterday indicated to
President Taft that peace in Mexico
may not be dream and there is rea-

will adopt a definite restrictive policy
along the border" to prevent conflicts
Senior Manuel De zamacona, the new
Mexican ambassador, was presented
to the president and declarations of
friendship were exchanged.
Information was given out at the
White House that the rough draft of
Mexico's formal note in reply to the
state departments demands that Amer

hands of American Ambassador Will
son at Mexico City. Mr.. Wilson re-
ported that the note as drafted was
satisfactory and it is expected to reach
the state department soon. In speech
to the president, Senior Zamasona said
peace would be declared in Mexico
soon. The president in few sentences
not included in his former address, as
sured the new ambassador that his
government was not grouching on the
border ready to spring on Mexico. His
telegram to Governor Stone Of Ari.

attitude.
