The theory that Engineer Curtis

Knowing his past record for care

the engineer became prostrated from

week of the year as the first. 1t is
elastic in its adaptibility, too; for it
does not matter whether the present is
for a boy or a girl, young married peo-
pie, sedate couples, grandparents there
never was one vet who did not set store
by The Youths Companion. You can

FIGURES THAT WILL
DEFEND PAYNE LAW
Average Ad Valorem Rate Nearly Five
Per Cent. Lower Than Under
the Dingley Act.

Washington, Oct, 26.--From the Office
of Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Curtis was given out yesterday a state
ment ON the duties collected on i'm.
portations in the fiscal year ending last
June 80 that is certain to be widely
used in the next campaign by Repub-
lican campaign orators The statement
is of a sort to defend the Payne law
from the attacks on it. Il is shown
that the total importations for the fiscal
year were sl,52T ,945,652 Duties col
leeted on this amounted to S309,5sl .944.
The average ad valorem rate of duty
for the year was 20.20 per cent. In the
preceding fiscal year, when the Payne
law was in effect about eleven months,
the average was 2l.ll per cent. The
average for the two years is 20.6s.
The average ad valorem rate under
the Dingley law the twelve years il was
in effect was 25.47 per cent. Thus the
treasury figures indicate the average
rate under the Payne law, which has
been so widely attacked, was nearly
per cent lower than the rate under the
Dingley law.

PLOT TO MAKE EVIDENCE.
Testimony in Stephenson Case Said to
Have Been Framed Up"

Milwaukee. Wis, Oct. 26-Testimony
concerning an alleged plot to fabricate
evidence against Senator Isaac Stephen
son and then to offer to keep it out
of the present investigation for money
consideration, was given by NJ. j. Re-
gan, Milwaukee business man, before
the United States Senate committee on
Tuesday. II. w. Wood, a private de-
tective, and Frank T. Souther had tes-
titled they were at a conference with
Regain when the latter told of an al
legged scheme whereby Robert j. Shields
associated in business with Edward
Hines, the ltmberman, had come from
Washington to "buy up" the Wiscon-
sin Legislature, so that Senator Steph-
enson could be elected in March. 1909.
The story, which Wood and Souther
testified had been given them by Regain,
was that Shields, coming from Washing
ton, had met Regain by appointment in
Milwaukee, that Shields said he had un-
limited money to purchase Democratic
members of the legislature who were to
remain away SO that Stephenson might
be elected: that Shields wanted Regain
TO 90 to Madison to carry on the deal
but that Regain refused and Shields him
self went. Taking the stand after they
had given this testimony, Regain as
serted he never had made any such
statement, but on the contrary Wood
and Souther had framed up" the story
with view Of obtaining money from
Senator Stephenson's attorneys to sup
press it.
