DOES <FEAT UNDER WATER.
Lieutenant Seeks Body Among Ships
Barnacles.

Washington.-To crawl around 20
feet under water feeling among the
sharp barnacles which cover the bot
tom of a big ship is not the safest
and pleasantest task, yet that Is what
Lieutenant William V. Tomb, u. S.
n. attached to the cruiser Maryland,
did July 81. A sailor had fallen
overheard and drowned, and it was
supposed that his body had been
swept under the bilges.
1t would take some time to rig up
a diving apparatus. Lieutenant
Tomb did not wait, but tying a life
rope around his body he plunged into
the sea and made a long serch of the
ships bottom. Official recognition
of his bravery has been given in a
letter addressed to Lieutenant Tomb
by Acting Secretary Winthrop.

MAY TALK HITCHCOCK
SCHEME TO DEATH
Senators to Fi|ibusteT on In
crease In Postal Rates.

Washington, Feb. 16.-One of the
most acrimonious fights ever seen in
congress has developed over the Taft
Hitchcock plan to increase the post
age rate on magazines when the pub
fishers received promises from enough
progressive Republican and Demo.
cratic senators to insure a successful
filibuster against the measure.
The openly announced plan to talk
the bill to death" means holding up
the whole postoffice appropriation bill,
and that means an extra session.
The bitterness develops through the
intense feeling of President Taft and
Postmaster General Hitchcock against
magazines which have severely crit
icised and ''muckraked" the admins
tration. On the part of the publish
ers the move is taken as a personal
effort by Taft to punish them and
they are resenting it in personal fash
ion. 1t has become battle without
quarter.

NixED BLOODS CANSELLLAND
Judge Morris Decides Point in White
Earth Cases.

Duluth, Feb. 1.-THE attorney for
the defendants in the White Earth In
dian land cases won an important
point in the decision Of Judge Morris
in the federal court here.
Attorney r. ]. Powell contended
that the Ciapp amendment not only re-
moved the restrictions on the sale OF
original allotments by adult Indians of
mixed blood, but also removed all re-
strictions on the sale of land by In
dians of mixed blood, regardless of the
manner In which they obtained title
to the land Judge Morris upheld the
contention. The point is important in
one class OF cases.
The number of cases affected by
the decision is not great, when COM
pared to the number filed in cases in
which Indians of full blood have sold
the land held by them under trust
patent from the government. 1t is
probable, however, that the govern.
ment will obtain a decision from the
court OF appeals on the question b.

Washington, Feb. 16. - Decisions

embracing valuable coal lands In the

KNOX TALKS ON
RECIPROCITY
Defends Canadian Pact in
Speech at Chicago.
PREDICTS BIG BENEFITS

Says Agreement Will Have Effect oi
Reducing the Cost of Living to a
Large Number of Our People and
Takes Issue With Those Who Charge
That the Farmers Will Be In
juriously Affected.
Chicago, Feb. 16.-Secretary of State
Knox and James j. Hill were the prin
oipal speakers at last nights banquel
OF the Chicago Association of Com
merce. Secretary Knox spoke on
Reciprocity With Canada" He dis.
oussed our trade relations with Cana.
da during the past half century, declar
ing that restrictions and discrimina.
tions have continually disturbed the
natural course of trade. Coming down
to the pending agreement he said:
"The aim and purpose of the agree
ment which has been negotiated is to
promote better trade relations and to
cement and strengthen friendly inter.
course between neighboring nations.
THE scope of the agreement is broad
in principle and comprehensive in de-
tail. Recognizing the condition which
exists in our own country and without
undertaking to define the causes which
have led to the increased cost of liv.
ing, 1t seeks to give our millions OF
wage-earning consumers the benefit OF
drawing upon the surplus food sup.
plies nearest at hand. 1t seeks, by
providing for the freest possible inter.
change of commodities across a po
litical boundary, which, when it comes
to production and commerce, is an arti
nipulations and those speculative
fluctuations in price which are harm.
ful both to the producer and to the
consumer. 1t may be stated as an
axiom that the more abundant the
source OF supply and the more free the
movement of products the less chance
there is of decreasing the legitimate
profits of the producer and of increas
ing the cost to the consumer by arti
fcial scarcity.
First Object of Agreement.
ut is evident that contiguous coun-
tries occupying the relation of the
United States and Canada, in the in.
terest alike of producers and con.
sumers, should first provide for the
freest possible interchange of prod
ucts of widespread consumption by
the masses and also articles of animal
consumption. This naturally includes
wheat and the other cereals, live food
animals, fish, fruits, dairy products
and vegetables. All this is done in
the reciprocity agreement.
Next, with the purpose of cheap
ening food supplies. it follows that
the raw products having been made
free, secondary food products should
have the duties materially lowered
This also is provided for in the agree
Ment. since heavy reductions are
