Atlanta, Cain an address before
the Southern Commercial Congress Fri.
day President Taft declared that the
failure to enact reciprocity with Cana
da was the greatest disappointment of
the Sixty-hrst congress. and that the
greatest achievement was the ratifica-
ton of the treaty with Japan.
He reached the convention hall short
ly before IL O'Clock and was given a
tremendous ovation.
The president wa introduced by for
mer Governor Francis of Missouri
The Sixty-first congress just closed
has enacted more useful and progress
I've legislation in its three sessions
than any congress since the war.
One of the crying evils of the pres
ent day is the expense OF litigation.
This congress has passed an act ma.
King substantial reductions in the cost
OF appealing cases from the courts of
first instance to the courts of appeals. q
The president then enumerated sew
eral other laws that we're passed.
"A great disappointment of the SEES
sion." he continued, was the final de-
feat of a permanent tariff board.
Finally. and the most important
thing which was done in the session
Just closed. was the ratification of the
treaty with Japan.
of course. the greatest disappolnt.
ment of the session was the failure OF
the senate to follow the lead of the
house in ratifying the reciprocity
agreement made with Canada.
When we entered upon the negotia.
tons l authorized the secretary OF
state and his commissioners to offer
free trade In everything. but this Can
ada could not grant us.
Canada is at the parting of the
ways. II we now reject this opportun
ity we shall throw away an opportun
ity for mutual benefit not likely to re
cur.

senate to act to call an extra session

had really meant by my delirious
speech in the kitchen. But that would
have meant telling the whole ridicu-
lous story to Mr.. HARRISON, and hav-

fool.

on the roof, and cried little and then

river were yellow, horizontal streaks
through my tears, and an early search
light sent its shaft like a tangible
thing in the darkness, just over my
head. Then, finally, l curled down in
a corner with my arms on the parapet,
and the lights became more and more
prismatic and finally formed them

NeIOs Notes of Wisconsin

Madison. Somewhat of a furry
has been caused among the northern
members of the legislature by the
discovery that under the terms of
bill introduced by Assemblyman
Urquhart, creating new county in
the northwestern part of the state,
the jurisdiction of Sawyer county
over the Dietz family and their trials
on various charges might be seriously
| affected. The proposed new county
takes in the Dietz farm, and under
the Wisconsin law. If the bill should
pass and be published before May 2,
the trial of John Dietz might have
to go to the new county. The stat
ute provides that cases arising in ter
ritory annexed to new counties, which
are created before the case pro-
ceeds to trial. must be handled by
the new county. Lawyers here do
not believe the Dietz case has pro
ceeded to trial" and will not until the
trial has been actually begun.

Crime Wave Stirs Omaha.

Omaha, April 22.-The mysterious
murder of millionaire, coupled with
an unusually serious wave OF crime
for the past several months, has stir.
red the Omaha Commercial club into
a crusade. Police and detectives ap-
pear TO be powerless against the prog
ress of stealthy violence, robbery and
all sorts OF offenses that are daily re.
ported.
The Commercial club has appointed
a large crime investigating committee
and a number of subcommittee, and
the organization intends to clean up
the city morally.
Principal energy is being directed
against the pool rooms, on the theory
that they are incubators of criminals.
A second purpose is to wipe out the
notorious practice of certain druggists
in selling cocaine, morphine and other
dope" II has been established as a
fact that most of the highway rob-
berries have been committed by mere
boys in their teens, and that a re.
markably large element of young rep
rebates is to be found in pool rooms,
bearing the character OF crooks and
petty thieves.
Probably the most shocking discov.
cry which has been brought to light
in recent investigations Of the city's
evils is the prevalence Of dope" vic
tins. Apparently about one out OF
every three prisoners brought into the
station is of the morally lost, drug
using type. All former prosecutions
of druggists for the sale of the drugs
have failed.
No clue has yet been discovered to
the solution Of the mystery surround
ing the death Of Herman b. COIN, mil
lionaire clothing merchant, three
weeks ago. Mr.. COIN was hsot down
near his home after the theater hour
one night, by an assassin who lay In
wait, and made no pretense at robbery
or other discoverable motive.
