SEES new TARIFF
in RECIPROCITY
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, July 19-Lauding
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
as "the corner stone of a new tariff
system, which will contain honest
protective duties and which will put
an end forever to unnecessary and ex-
cessive duties" Senator Brown (Rep,
Neb.) today urged its adoption by the
Senate.
Il believe in fair and just protec-
tive duties" he said. by removing
duties now from the agricultural
schedule against one country which
are unnecessary and unprotective in
point of fact and principle. no power
on earth can stay the march against
excessive duties on. manufactured
articles against the world.
ITO remove the duty again-t Canada
on manufactured articles would not
bring a single Canadian manufactured
article into this country for the far
mer to buy, because Canada is unable
TO supply her own people with manu-
featured articles.
81 am convinced that the enactment
of this bill will result in larger trade
with Canada in all the products pro
duced and manufactured in the United
States"
One additional reason why he favored
the bill, he said, was because of the
opposition manifested by Edward
Hines. who has been the star witness
of the Lorimer investigating commit
tee.

lad it's first drowning case in years
yesterday afternoon, when Elizabeth
Thompson fell off the Baldt wharf and
ost her life. Her father, brother
md several other children were with
her grabbing, when the fatal accident
happened. The tide was well in at
he time, and while Mr. Thompson
vas on the opposite SIDE of the wharf
10 heard a scream and a splash He
soon realized that his eight-year-old
laughter had fallen overheard, and he
lived into the river, but failed to
each his child. Men from the Baldt
works rushed to the scene, and made
an effort to recover the body, but
we're unable to find the corpse. Boats
we're manned and men spent the after
noon and evening dragging for the
body, but were not rewarded. The
search was resumed at daylight this
morning. Rivermen believe the body
is either fast in the .piling of the
wharf or has been carried along the
shore and will be recovered at low
water.
When Mrs William Thompson, the
thild's mother, learned of the drown
ing she became hysterical, and Dr..
William Wertenbaker was summoned.
It was useless to attempt to control
her and the distracted mother ran 10
the scene, but was brought home by
her husband. She cannot be recon-
ciled by the neighbors, who are with
her. During the day Mrs. Thompson
was making a new dress for the child
and was working on it when she re-
ceived the news of the drowning.

today over the latest attack by Lafay-

of the members of Lafayette Post were
at both battles of Bull Run.
