DEMOCRATIC LEADERS FRAME
TARIFF BILLS FOR ACTION AT
SPECIAL SESSION.
REDUCE TAX ON FABRICS
That He Hopes Special Session
viii Confne Its Tariff Work
to Reciprocity.

Washington, Mar. 13.-The IA DEM
ocratic members of the new commit
tee on ways and means have been en-
gagged for the lasf three days in the
preparation of tariff bills, it became
known, although none of the members
is willing to acknowledge it, and there
is much secrecy.
Following the first meeting of the
committee, the announcement Of the
selection Of a committee on rules was
made. This led to food of discus
sion as to the probable makeup of
other standing committees Specula-
ton as to the Craftsmanship of the
committee on appropriations, the most
important office in the gift of the
ways and means members, obscured
the true situation.
Working on Tariff Bills.
Meanwhile the committee got down
to work, framing the first Of the tariff
bills, which will be reported imme-
diately after the reciprocity bill, if
not coincidentally with it,
1t is understood that the bills under
consideration by the committee are
designed to place flour and meat on
the free list and to revise the cotton
and cotton goods and the wool and
wooden goods schedules. Other bills
will follow.
Taft Would Limit Extra Session.
Atlanta, Ga, Mar. 13.-President
Taft urges the young men of the new
South to take zap political issues from
broad standpoint and to eliminate
partisanship and sectionalism.
The president reviewed briefly the
sixty-frst congress, declaring that in
its three sessions it had enacted more
helpful legislation than any congress
since the civil war
Mr.. Tart asserted that the greatest
accomplishment of the short session
was the ratification of the japanese
treaty. The greatest disappointment,
he said, was the failure of congress to
ratify the reciprocity agreement with
Canada. In this connection he re-
ferred to his action in calling an extra
session of congress to convene on
April 4.
Hopes for Reciprocity Agreement.
My opinion is said President Taft
that majority of both houses. dis
regarding party lines, will seize such
national opportunity and promptly
ratify the agreement before proceed
ing to other business, if it be deemed
wise or necessary to proceed to other
business"
The president expressed the hope
that the new Democratic house would
not deem it necessary to go into the
tariff after ratifying the Canadian
agreement, but pledged himself to
furnish at the regular meeting in De
cember report from the tariff com
mission on schedule X of the Payne
Aldrich act-of the wool and woolens
schedule.

was out late in the evening his wife
would lock him out and come at
him with an axe and had threatened
to kill him. For that reason he had
left her. He entered a plea of guilty
to the charge in the complaint
Judge Comstock required the de-
PENDANT to furnish bond for $500

after, and until he furnishes such
bond committed him to the county
Jail. Pearson said that he was will

FARMERS VIEW OF TREATY

Garden City, February 2S.-The
Canadian reciprocity proposal offers
a view of that question which is
certainly worth thinking about. 1t is
perfectly natural that the farmers,
on the first view of the matter,
should resent a proposition which
seems to take away from them
something which it has been con
tended has been of value, and then
give them SO little or nothing in
return.
The farmer has been demanding
tariff reduction OH trust made and
highly protected articles which he
consumes, and he has failed to get
them largely because his represen,
tatives in congress have been COM
PEELED to dicker with the represent
tatives of the protected interests in
order to secure for him protection
which it has been claimed is to his
advantage. 1t is for the farmer to
his representatives whether he would
rather hang OH to the protection for
his own products, or, yielding that
protection, move, with power which
he has never before been able to
command against the entertainments
of the tariff protected trust and
compel such reductions us his in
terests demand.
| am for low tariff duties on all
prOductS-thOSe of the farmers as
well as those of the manufacturers
However, l do not stand for legis
lation taking from the farmers every
particle of benefit that now exists
or may come through protective
schedules while all the burdens he
has carried for many years through
the policy of high protection re-
mains on his shoulders.
Few would urge that all the prod.
ucts of the farmer should be sold in
a free and unprotected market,
while all that he buys should be pur-
chased in a non-competitive or pro.
tected market.
confronted with the question as to
whether future prosperity depends
upon industrial development or upon
agricultural development If our city
interests are to be constantly favor
ed and built up at the expense of
the country, American farmers
should begin to consider the advis-
ability of moving to town and going
to work in our factories. On the
other hand, if agriculture is our
chief occupation and our chief source
of prosperity, which we believe to
be true, it is high time for the city
interests of the United States to
take a broad-minded view of the
situation and get together with the
American farmer in upbuilding the
whole country and all of our in
terests, rather than the upbuilding
of one particular interest at the eX.
pense of another.-A Farmer.

TWO WOMEN UNDER ARREST;
WHAT AN OFFICER SAYS.
Defendants Are Accused of Taking
Garment Owned BY Miss Cora
Dowrey of This City While She
Was Attending Dance One
Night Last Week; Coat Cut in
Hopes of Making 1t Fit.

From Mondays Daily.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Ario went to
Minneapolis Friday with a warrant
for the arrest of Miss Francis Tate,
charged with grand larceny in the
second degree, i'm the theft of new
plush cloak valued at $25 and the
property OF Miss Cora Dowrey
of this city. The garment was lost
at dance at the Davis Business
university week or so ago, and
after investigation by the officers
Miss Tate was suspected.
Located in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Ario did not locate Miss Tate
until Saturday noon. She made
confession and implicated Mrs. Ma
bel LeGrosse of Minneapolis, and it
was necessary to secure another
warrant, which was done Saturday
night. Sunday morning the arrest
of Mrs. LeGrOsse was accomplished
by Detectives Howard and Neary,
who turned her over to Mr. Ario
and he brought both women to the
city Sunday evening. Mrs. JeGrosse
also confessed according to the Off
Ger, after being informed of Miss
Tate's confession.
The two women were arraigned be
fore Judge Comstock this forenoon
and their hearing was set for two
O'Clock this afternoon D. J. Sew
erancc will look after their interests
| in all probability.
Say Women Confessed.
Deputy Sheriff Ario states that
the women confessed that they were
! in the city at the time of the dance
and attended it. When they left
the dance they took Miss Dowrey's
cloak from the hook in the cloak
! room and went to room IA of the
Saulpaugh, where they spent the
night. Mrs. LeGrossc took the coat
from the hook and Miss Tate put
| it on and wore it to the hotel
There they tried it and found that
it was too long and they cut off
the bottom and hemmed it up, but
on trying it on again found it too
short and decided to leave it in the
dresser drawer of the room The
next day they returned 20 their
homes in Minneapolis.
Cloak Not Revealed.
! Search of room II failed to reveal
! the cloak and the officers do not
know whether to believe this mart
I OF the story or not. The Tate wom-
an is Il former resident of Mankato
| and now lives in Minneapolis with
her mother. Mrs. LeGrosse is a
stranger in the city, but the two
became acquainted in Minneapolis
Mrs LeGrosse claims TO have Il hus-

The defendants were given sep
