When this roll call began the friends
of the Tariff Commission said that
the fight OF years had been won. Ap-
parently nothing now could prevent
the passage OF the bill The rule
prevented any other business being
considered Two more roll calls
were the most that could be demand
ed by Fitzgerald. These could be
completed before IL o'clock, the hour
of final adjournment, with Is minutes
to spare. Nothing could defeat the
bill now. So thought the friends of
the tariff commission.
Section 29 of the House Rules con
tains the following provision:
The presentation of reports OF
committees of conference shall al
ways be in order except when the
/ journal is being read, while the roll
is being called. or the house is diyid-
/ ing on any proposition.
The roll call is half completed by
the clerk. Then Tawney arises from
his seat. Speaker Cannon, deliberate
| ly disregarded this rule, recognizes
/ him to present a conference report Oh
the general deficiency bill A storm
OF protest arises from the House
Cannon refuses to hear. In willful
violation of his own rules which he
has so often lauded, he arbitrarily
suspends the roll call upon the tariff
commission bill and the ayes and
nays are ordered upon the motion
made by Tawney upon the conference
report. The House witnesses the
spectacle unparalleled in parliamen
tary history, of two roll calls pend
ing at the same time. The 35 min
utes necessary for the roll call upon
the deficiency bill makes it impossi
BILE to complete the vote upon the
tariff commission bill before IL o.
clock The last roll call cannot now
be completed before 20 minutes after
~. The friends of the tariff commits
sion see victory wrested from then
through the most shameful outrage
ever perpetrated in the House.
BY unanimous consent, the bill now
dead, is withdrawn. Cannon and Fit
gerald and Tawney have won the bat
tie for special privilege. The people
have again been betrayed
Now that the tariff commission bill
is dead, the speaker orders the hands
of the clock turned back But a mo
ment since and the clock registered
20 minutes to H. We look again ant
ii is a quarter past eleven. Nov
there is ample time for the transac
ton OF business by unanimous con
sent. The conference report upol
the general deficiency bill which wa
used to defeat the tariff commission
could now have been adopted by III
animous consent, for at no time wa
there any real opposition to it.
The first session of the 61st Cor
gress began with an alliance between
Cannon, Tawney, and their followers

One Plank Redeemed

The meeting of the listers OF the
several Franklin county towns with
State Tax Commissioner J. Il. Cush-
man is a realization of one plank in
the last Republican state platform,
at any rate. That plank read.
1--WE believe that the reform OF the
tax law of this state so that 1t may
impose the burden OF the support OF
the government equitably among all
men and avoid socalled double taxa
ton is one of the most serious and
pressing duties that confronts our
people. We believe that one OF the
greatest evils under the present law
is the lack of uniformity in its en-
forcement in the 246 cities and towns
each local administration practically
being law unto itself in this regard
AS a first important step toward the
reform of the tax law, we recommend
to the general assembly the amend
ment OF the present statute TO provide
for q state central authority In some
form that shall have some proper de-
gree of charge and oversight Of the
local administration OF the law In the
various cities and towns, to the end
that not only shall the present law
hereafter be as uniformly and impair
TALLY enforced as may be everywhere
throughout the state, but that the ex.
perience from such uniform and i'm.
partial administration. thus had for
the first time In the history OF Yer
mont, shall furnish definite and relia-
Bile information helping to point the
way to such further changes in the
statute as such experience proves to
be just and necessary

have been realized from one or two

SANDER SUIT COLLAPSED
Important Witness Failed to Recol
lect Hearing Alleged ISLANDERS.

London, March 2s.-The suit
brought by the wealthy young Baron
Arnold de Forest against his mother
in-law. Lady Mary Gerard. and the
latter's brother. Henry Miner, for
SANDER was tried yesterday and col
lapsed suddenly when Lord Derby, to
whom the ISLANDERS we're alleged to
have been conhded, took the stand
and swore that he had no recollec-
ton OF the same. Sir Edward Clarke
counsel for the plaintiff, thereupon
announced that he was unable to pro-
coed in view OF the lack OF evidence
and judgment for the defendants was
returned.
Baron de Forest. whose marriage to
the widow OF Menier. the chocolate
manufacturer OF France, was an.
nulled. subsequently entered English
society and married Miss Gerard,
who is very wealthy. having inherited
most OF the fortune of the late Baron
Hirsch. The wife later vanished
from her home and, according to the
plaintiff, In the company OF Lieut. IL
c. 5. Ashton OF the Second Life
Guards and friend OF the family.
The plaintiff alleged that the con.
duct OF his wife was approved by
Lady Gerard and Miner in utterances
reflecting upon him. He charged that
they had accused him OF having beat.
en- his wife, kicked her down stairs
and generally behaved with such out
rageous brutality as made II impossi.
BILE for her TO live with him.
Sir Edward Clarke opened the pro.
ceedings by describing the married
life OF the de Forests. which. he said,
was happy until one night in May,
1909, when after a ball the Baroness
refused to 80 home with her husband.
Instead she went away with the
young guardsman Ashton aud on the
next day confessed to her husband In
the presence OF her mother and
uncle Miner that she had been at
fault The matter was patched up
aud the Baroness returned to dc
Forest.
Soon afterwards the Baroness re.
sumed companiouship with Ashton
and on January 2S de Forest found
his wife's wedding ring In an enyel
ope together with the announcement
that she had gone away with the
Lieutenant. Subsequently de Fr0esl
again forgaye his wife
Sir Edward concluded by saying
that he would call among witnesses
for the prosecution Home Secretary
Churchill. Lord Castlereagh and Lord
Derby. The latter was alleged {,
have heard the ISLANDERS, but when he
was called to the witness stand sait
that he had no recollection Of having
heard the remarks set forth by tn,
plalntiff.

would go no further as he was unable

POLICE FAIR GROUNDS.
Chief jenkins Will Assign Veterans to
Duty.

Chief of Police Jenkins is well
pleased with the arrangements made
for attractions and booths at the state
fair grounds as he announced after an
inspection this morning. "And this is
going to be a great fair he added.
But Jenkins concern is less of af-
fairs at the grounds than in the resi-
Dental sections. There are many local
crooks known to the police who oper-
ate on occasions when residents are
drawn from their homes and a crowd
of crooks and thieves usually flocks to
the cities where crowds will be. Jen-
kins has secured twelve special officers
to patrol the resident sections and will
have these districts we'll guarded night
and day.
Regular men will work in the
crowds at the fair grounds where less
experienced men would be less service
able and might prove awkward. Plain
clothes men will be on duty at the
grounds during all hours of the day.

SLUMP IN STOCKS.
They Reached the Lowest Point of the
Year Today.

New York, Sept "a Wall Street sta
tistician estimated today that the market
value of securities traded in on the stock
exchange was one billion dollars less than
late in July when prices reached the
high point of the year. Quotations today
fell to the lowest level of the year. Fol-
lowing the decline last month there came
a recovery which began last week. The
improvement was short lived however and
during the latter part of this week prices
crumbled away steadily The selling was
of uncertain origin and was of the same
mysterious character as that which was
responsible for the August slump. The
recent gains were cancelled and today the
active stocks fell below the bottom Of the
August decline.
Canadian Pacific, the heaviest loser of
the day, declined six points. It is now
% points below the high price of the year.
Students of the market admit they are
unable to ascertain the direct cause of
the heavy liquidation.

pecially among the mem bers of the
Karnival Knight organization.
The contest committee feels that by
arranging the last counts for and 9
O'Clock they have acted in a manner
fair to all parties concerned.
The vote at 6 O'Clock will give some
idea of just what sum Of money it will
take to put a candidate in first place.
The question that is now worrying the
friends of some of the contestants is
whether or not some dark horse
among those in the race will be. sprung
the last minute.
anyone of the three candidates
who are in the Lead said a member
of the contest committee this after
noon, ''Will make acceptable queens
choose between them. The best feel
ing has prevailed throughout the con-
test and some of the friends of Mayor
Billiard. who seem to know him best,
state that if the opposition goes up
against the old war horse they will
know that have been in a race.
Friends of Miss JO11ey are equally con-
fident, and those supporting Miss Ryan
cling to the idea that their candidate
will come out on top
