Warner-Cramton law TO 1865 as
against 1858 last year.
The actual number of saloons now
doing business is sos. During the
past year IL saloonkeepers died and
new licenses have. been issued 20 the
parties continuing the business. These.
with other transfers, for IL is nothing
else. have brought the number OF
licenses actually issued during the
past year up To / $50, though the num-
Der OF saloons has remained al 1868
Should the committee hold that
these transfers constituted a volun-
tary surrender, then, under the War
ner-Cramton law. these saloons. 22 in
number, have no longer any right TO
exist and must be deducted from the
present total OF 1.56S That is a mat

The number will be still further re-
duced by eliminating those saloon

ENGLAND AND FRANCE TO
ASK TARIFF CONCESSIONS
President Taft Says Treaty Obiiga
tions Would Not Necessitate
Extension

WASHINGTON April 5.-Intima.
tons from Paris and London that
France and England are TO ask tariff
concessions from the United States,
identical with those proposed in the
reciprocity agreement with CANADA,
failed to cause any alarm at the
White House today.
President Taft told his callers that
our treaty obligations would not
necessitate the extension of the con
cessions given Canada, to other ma
tons He has already prepared an
answer to those nations requesting
such tariff favors, under the most
favored nation" provision OF our
treaties.
Ii is pointed out that under the
reciprocity agreement, the United
States makes tariff concessions only
as Canada gives favors In return; that
I.it is a bargain special agreement
OF give and take. Therefore, II is
held, foreign nations cannot right
fully claim like treatment by virtue
OF their trade treaties with the United
States.
In this connection, interest centers
in the plans of Senator Cummins, OF
Iowa, who has announced that he will
seek to amend the reciprocity agree
ment by putting various additional
Canadian products on the free list,
without asking like concessions from
Canada
Should additional concessions be
given Canada, without compensating
return. the president believes the
| United States would then to be open
| for claims for similar treatment from
other nations. Such concessions
would be construed as gratuitous
offerings, to which the other nations
would be rightfully entitled, under the
Most favored nation" clause, ii is
believed at the White House.
For this reason every effort Will be
made by administration forces to
block the Cummins amendments.

Death of William Bach, Last Survivor
Of the Guard Over Confederate
President While in Fort
ress Monroe.
CHAINED IN HIS CELL
Davis Was Physical Wreck But Had
Spirit Enough Left to Fight
Against Being
shackled

BLOOMINGTON. March 2s.-Wil-
ham Bach, u years old, last survivor
of guards over President jefferson
Davis while the latter was prisoner
at Fortress Monroe at the close of the
civil war, is dead. He was a pressman
on the Stats Zeitung at Chicago af-
ter the war. One daughter, Mrs. Louis
Kreiter of Chicago, survives.
Bach was a private of the Third ar
tillery In the civil war and was on
duty at Norfolk, Va, when a detail
was requested to guard President Da-
Wis. Bach was one of the squad as
signed to this duty, and he had often
told the story of the noted prisoners
Incarceration.
Troops from Michigan captured the
southern executive and he was brought
to the fort on the steamer William
Clyde. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, then in
command of the fort. issued orders
placing double line of guards from
the wharf to the fort and between
this line Davis walked, arm in arm
with Gen. Miles. Davis wore hand
some suit of Conferedate gray and
q slouch hat of the same color.
Davis was then 81 years OF age. but
he was physical wreck and his ap-
pearance was that of a man twenty
years older. He was partially blind,
his face thin and pale, and his entire
body appeared greatly emaciated. Yet
there was no evidence of fear as he
walked slowly along between the grim
line of guards with the frowning guns
Eof the fort bearing upon him.
Davis, according to Bach, was SEN
sitive to noise and the monotonous
pacing of the sentries by his cell
made him extremely nervous. Only a
bible and prayer book were allowed
him for reading and conversation was
prohibited. He was unable to eat the
fort rations and finally his meals
were brought to him from a hotel
ashore.
The incident of shackling President
Davis was thrilling one, Bach re-
called. The order came from Charles
A. Dana. secretary of war, and, al
though Gen. Miles was severely criti-
cised for enforcing it, he was forced
to obey orders. Mr.. Dana simply yield
ed to public sentiment. then at fever
heat, which demanded a victim.
Davis was thunderstruck when he
heard of it. Il will not submit to it.
will die first he exclaimed. 1t was
necessary to overpower him.
Thus chained. he lay dejectedly up
on his couch and refused to eat. His
wretched physical condition led to the
annulment of the order. In excuse for
the order, it was said that feeling in
the north ran high.
Late in the fall of 1865 Bach and
other members of his regiment We're
mustered out of the service and he
returned home.

Trenner was in town last week and

that about enough funds had been

that Bloomington investors were eag-

POSTOFFICE SAFE
WAS UNLOCKED
Robbers Blow 1t Up Just the Same

STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo, March 2S.
Ste. Genevieve's long record without
crime was broken when safe-blowers
wrecked the unlocked safe in the post
office and secured one registered let
ter. which is believed to have contain
ed no money The safe had not been
locked for many months, and the rob
berry was a great surprise to the c1u-
zens, who have not experienced any
thing of the kind within recent years.
Between 1890 and | o'clock two
charges of nitroglycerine were used
in wrecking the safe. Many persons
heard the explosion, but believed the
noise was caused by the wind. A few
books and papers We're taken. but
were later found and returned by en-
ployes of the Illinois Southern rail-
road. along whose tracks they We're
picked up. Entrance to the postoffice
was gained by prying open the front
door with tools the robbers had sto-
len from the Roth Implement Com
pany, which is located about one block
south of the postoffice.
Mrs. William Oberlee, residing di-
rectly across the street from the post
office heard the explosion and arose
from bed and ran to the window, ana,
from her statement, two men emers-
ed from the postoffice after two eN'
pIosions.
