Taft Vetoes Condemned.

The Sioux City Tribune finds In
consulting it's exchanges that progress
sive and standpat papers agree that
President Taft made a serious mis-
take In his vetoes when he refused to
give the people relief from the wool
tariff which he said was indefensible.
The Tribune article follows.
Two papers differing mora widely in
policy and opinion than the Kansas
City Star and the New York Times
are not published in the United
States. The Star Is of the west, and
with rare fidelity it interprets the
progressive sentiment Of its great
western constituency. The Times Is
one of the leading reactionary journt
ais Of the country. Its voice Is the
voice of high finance.
These two newspapers, agree in
condemning President Taft's vetoes
Of tariff revision bills passed by con-
gress at the special session. Taking
the cotton veto for a text, the Star
points out that the cotton schedule
in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was
actually revision upward. This was
accomplished in several ways. The
principal method vas by changing
the ad valorem duties Of the Dingley
bill to specific duties in the Payne
Aldrich law. Various jokers were In
serted, too, differentiating duties on
various kinds of fabrics.
Senator La FolleJte said in b Sen
ate recently that Jonathan 2. Dol
liver's labor in exposing the i%niquities
of the cotton shedule cost him his
life. The Star, too, refers to Delivers
magnificent exposure Of Aldrich's
trickery and jugglery, Of this sched-
ule, and points out that he presented
conclusive proof of increases In duties
ranging from rs to ago per cent.
For President Taft's refusal to as
sent to the revision of this astound-
ing legislative injustice, the Star
criticizes him un%sparingly, and its
condemnation Is the more pointed
when 1t Is recalled that it vas his
foremost champion in the middle west
when he was running for president.
The Star says:
New England manufacturers we're
thus deliberately authorized 10y con-
gress to increase their charges on the
American people for a large variety
of cotton goods used in every home in
the land.
1t is this hold-up that cong ress
tried to block in the revision of the
cotton schedule at the present session.
In vetoing the cotton bill President
Taft will have the cordial support of
all the gentlemen who have protited
by the piracy Of 1909.
The New York Times spoke before
the cotton veto. 1t tells President
Taft frankly that by vetoing the
wool revision bill he has probably
lost his chance of reelection. 1t points
out that he himself pronounced the
wool schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
law to be "indefensible," and declares
that he had no adequate excuse for
votoing the revision Of it.
In the Times editorial there is a
note Of regret. 1t is affiliated with
tho big business element, which
wants the president reelected, and 1t
Is sorrowful that he should have COM
mitted IN act which seriously jeo-
pardixes that result.

Lewiston, Me-, Aug. S.-The state
OF Maine lost it senior United States
senator and an almost lifelong faith
full servant when William Pierce
Frye died to-day at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Helen White, In this
city. At his bedside were Mrs. White
and his other daughter, Mrs. Alice
Briggs, who also resides in Lewiston.
Although he had been ill for aa long
time, death came suddenly.
Forced by the condition of his
health to resign his position as presi-
rent pro tenn of the Senate at the
beginning of the present special ses-
sion Of Congress, although he retain
ed his membership in the Senate,
Senator Frye soon afterwards made
his last journey from Washington 20
this city, which always had been his
home. For several weeks his condi-
tion was not considered necessarily
dangerous. Up to last week he rest
ed in comparative cmofort, spending
much of his time in reading or hav-
ing some member of his family read
to him.
Last week the senator's illness
took a serious turn, but again he
rallied, and this week his physicians
expressed the nope that he might re-
rover. AS late as 3:15 this after
noon he appeared to be in comfort
able condition. Shortly afterwards
it was seen that he was sinking
rapidly, and at 3:55 he died.
A general breakdown, due to age,
and his extremely ardulous career,
il ascrihed hy Senator Frye's nhysi-
Clans as the cause of death.

his visits to my house, but never

The year was up he asked me again
to let him marry Marry. I told Mary
that wanted her to marry a man
that coud give her a comfortable
home, and as -liller was unable to
DO this and did not make an attempt
to secure employment, he was not
the man of my choice. She told
Miller this and after several DAYS

night and were married in Gretna ),

STORM DOES SLIGHT DAMAGE AT
MILNEBURG.

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-Milneburg
was swept by one of the heaviest
windstorms of the season yesterday,
and although little damage to camps
results, several lake fishermen mar
rcwly escaped death. James Hender-
son, better known as "Scottie," was
rescued by Charles Griner. mem-
Der of Milnerbug's life saving crew.
Henderson, an oldtime fisherman
OF experience, was some distance out
in the lake when the storm suddenly
arose. Realizing danger he cast
anchor, but when the full force of
the wind struck him and the choppy
sea began breaking over his skiff,
the anchor line parted and the skiff
tltbed over, throwing Henderson
out.
Due solely to the fact that Hender-
son is an experienced swimmer, he
managed to battle with the waves
until the lifeboat reached him and
Griner pulled him aboard. He said
it was the narrowest escape from
drowning he had experienced in his
long career on the water.
In describing the storm Cosman
Morgan, restaurateur of Milneburg,
said last night it came up suddenly
from the southeast while heavy
see was coming in from the north
east, resulting in such choppy water
that skiffs had no show at all.
The wind struck Milneburg at
about $3.50 o'clock and ragged for
three-quarters of an hour. A box
car at the nd of the pier where
the New Camelia lands, was carried
at a great rate to the village, and
stopped only when a negro, at the
risk of his life, swung on and reached
the brake.
The storm, however, caused no
material damage, excepting to carry
away a few shingles.

In view of the recent preliminary
organization of an association to plan

NO ROOM FOR ANAYA.
Jackson Insane Asylum Not Prepared
to Receive Him.

District Attorney Adams yesterday
received etter from DIR. Clarence
S. Pierson, superintendent of the In
sane Asylum in Jackson, La, stating
that it was absolutely impossible for
him to receive any criminal insanes
a: the institution, and that he barely
has room to accommodate any more
insanes, as the institution is over
crowded already. DR.. Pierson goes
into lengthy description of affairs
in the State Asylum for Insanes. DIR.
Pierson urges earnestly that the state
provide another building for the in
sane criminals if they are to be taken
care of outside of the regular prisons.
Louis F. Anaya, who is charged
with the murder of A. A. Henderson,
and who was declared presently in
sane by jury a few days since,
cannot be received in the Jackson
institution, according to DR.. Persons
letter.
Henderson's brother is at present
an inmate of the Jackson Insane Asy-
lum, and naturally bears great ami
mostly against his brothers slayer.

"The fact : that there exists no
suburbs of the proper character and
that even with the very Indifferent
transportation facilities, number
of New Orleans families have taken
up their permanent residence in and
around Covington, shows that there
is room for development of such
suburbs, and q reasonable chance to
make this enterprise profitable, espe-
cially if proper and reliable service
is furnished, and the cost of opera
ton is not too great says the 1902
report.
After giving resume of the rail-
road and other facilities existing be-
tween the points referred to at that
time, the report goes on to show
that two schemes were suggested for
the improvement of condition in this
respect. The first was based on the
construction of a trestle, either for
single or double track, across Lake
Pontchartrain, connecting with the
surfoce eletric roads on both shores
of the lake at total cost of 50. $685.
800. The second scheme contem-
plated the use of two fast steamers,
landing at some point in the city,
where proper transfer could be made
to some railroad, and, on North
shore, making connection with
properly constructed electric railroad
al total cost of $449 900.

is a new corporation juct organized

Millions of dollars are now spent

and operated by Southern people
and the thousands of customers
whose names will appear on the COM
pany's books will nearly all be stock
holders in the company.
The charter of The General Busi-

Concerns of similar to this met
with phenomenal success in Euro

doing business that cannot fail of
success.
The company has been incorpor-

of shares being $1,000. At the pres

bought rapidly because the stock is
sure of success and the many valu-

BATON ROUGE
Two Cities that Drew Big
Crowds Last Saturday.
Probably Not Much Differ
ence in Size of Crowds.
Baton Rouge Affair Was Ex-
cellently Managed.
Ice Water in Barrels on the
Corners Of the Streets.

Lafayette, La, Aug. 5.-Judge
Hall this afternoon Addressed an
audience variously estimated at from
5000 to 5000 persons, representing
practically every section of the State,
the Third, Seventh and Fifth dis
tricts sending the largest delega-
tions. New Orleans was we'll repre-
sented in the assembly.
Speeches were also made by Con-
gressmen Pujo, Broussard and Rams
dell; Henry L. Gueyhan and Gen. T.
j. Shaffer, and each was heartily re-
ceived by the assemblage.
During the address of Mr.. Rams
dell, when he had about half con-
cluded, there came heavy down
pour of rain, and while a few on
the outskirts of the crowd hurried
to shelter, the majority, so absorb
ed were they in the matter under
discussion, pleasantly took a good
wetting and waited for the coming
OF Pujo and Broussard.
Baton Rouge, Aug. 5.-This was a
great day for Gov. Jared Y. Sanders,
but it was a greater day for the
people of Baton Rouge, under whose
auspecies he formally launched his
campaign for the United States Sena-
torship for the term beginning in
1915. Citizens of Baton Rouge made
great efforts to have the day a big
success.
Baton Rouge was crowded with
people, crowded as it seldom has been
before, but not all the visitors heard
the speeches eulogizing Mr.. Sanders
or heard Mr.. Sanders speech de-
Tending his administration, outlining
his position on national politics or
attacking his opponents, Messrs.
Broussard and Pujo.
At no time were more than 5000
persons listening to the Governors
speech. And included in that 5000
were many citizens of Baton Rouge,
and many ladies and children. There
We're more, many more, in Baton
Rouge. During the speaking, which
began at 1880 a. m. and lasted until
8 p. M, with an hour and a half
intermission for the barbecue dinner
served on the grounds of the Louisi-
ana State University, free to all, the
streets of Baton Rouge were crowded
with people, holiday makers who had
come here for holiday. They crowd
ed the shady side of the streets,
awaited their turns to gain entrance
to the saloons, and packed all the
ice cream and soft drink places, the
restaurants. the moving picture
shows-in fact wherever there was
shade or a place to sit down and
rest.
