SENATOR CRAWFORD
PREDICTS GENERAL
REVISION OF RATES
Favors a Larger Apportionment
to Give Full Representa-

Huron. S. d., March Ex-senator Coe
/. Crawford, who reached home yes
terday from Washington, gives out a
statement on the extra session as fol-
lows:
II think that the extra session."
said the senator, will have to con-
slider a general revision of the tariff
laws of this country. The Canadian
reciprocity agreement will come up
first for settlement and / think the
democrats will introduce a general
tariff revision bill and the eight over
that proposition will keep congress
in session for several months.
II think the bill providing for the
election Of United States senator's by
popular vote will become law. The
congressional reappOrtionment bill,
which provides for an increase in the
number of congressman in the several
states. I think, ought to pass, but
there are some strong and infiuen-
tial men in the United States Senate
who are opposed to that bill on the
ground that to increase the number
of members in the House will make
that body unwieldly and have ten
dency to centralize it's power in few
leaders. I favor the bill to increase
the apportionment. I think the new
and growing states are entitled to
full and adequate representation and,
I also think that 1t is unfair to allow
the older states that already have full
representation to be fully represent
ed and not allow the younger and
growing states as much voice in the
lower House of congress as the older
states have in proportion and popu-
lation. If the increased representa-
ton is to be denied the younger
states, why not cut down the appor-
tionment of the older common.
wealths?"
Referring to his extended speech in
the Senate. Mr. Crawford said he had
undertaken it in order to force con-
sideration Of the tariff commission
bill and that his effort had brought
the desired result, but that the bill
had been killed in the House by the
filibustering tactics of some Of the
members, over the amendments to
the bill.

PARDON CASES NOT

President Plays Golf and Delays
Reading Petitions of Con-

New York, March 14.-President
Taft played the full 1S-hole golf course
This morning. He was followed to the
inks by Secretary Norton, who had as
guests three friends from Chicago.
Shortly after Mr.. Taft came In from
he course it was said he has not so
much as glanced at the papers in the
proposed Morse pardon case. Reports
reaching Augusta from New York that
he president would today sign a par
ION for the convicted banker now sery-
ing a term in the Atlanta federal peni-
larry are entirely erroneous.
Papers presented as q basis for the
Morse pardon are extremely volumin-
,us. The president has not examined
these documents yet, and he insists on
sitting every detail OF evidence in all
pardon applications or appeals for SEN
tence communication.
There is little likelihood that any
action will be taken on either the Morse
Or Walsh cases until after Mr.. Taft
returns to Washington next week.

when the services were over he was
taken to the family home I'm Maidstone

his guards. Three daughters and one
other son of Mrs. Bean also attended

man and the rest Of the family.
