TAFT IS SUSTAINED
EFFORTS TO FORCE THROUGH
WOOL AND FREE LIST DE-
FEATED.
SENATE PASSES STATEHOOD
Efforts to Force Through Wool an,
Free List Measures Are De-
acknowledgements Is
In Sight.

Observation-Disclosures Taft en-
erged victorious from the tariff
and statehood struggles with con
gress. An effort was made In the
house OF representatives to override
his veto Of the wool bill. 1t failed,
227 to 1923.
Immediately afterward the presl-
dents veto Of the farmers free list
bill was received from the White
House, and after a forty minutes de-
bate that measure also failed to pass
over the executive disapproyal by a
vote of 226 to 1877.
1t requires a two-thirds majority to
pass a measure over a veto.
While the house was having highly
exciting times over the tariff issue IN
It's latest and most sensational phase
the senate was disposing of the new
Joint statehood resolution, which
makes the elimination Of the judicial
recall In the Arizona constitution a
prerequisite to the admission OF that
territory into the Union. b resolu-
ton was passed after four hours de-
bate by a vote Of SO to 8.
Concluding a day of momentous hap
penfngs, the Democrats Of the house
ways and means committee decided
In favor of accepting the senate add
lions to the cotton revision bill. 1t is
planned to pass the bill on Monday,
receive the Taft veto on Tuesday and
adjourn sine die on Wednesday.
The leading feature of the day was
the unsuccessful attempt to pass the
wool bill over President Taft's veto,
and next to that the presidents veto
message in which he mercilessly re-
hected on the lawmakers for the slip
shod methods pursued in framing and
passing the free-list measure.
In v~etoing the wool bill the presi-
dent declared that no action should
be taken until the tariff board had an
opportunity to present it's report. He
said:
"If these ever was a schedule that
needed consideration and investiga-
ton and elaborate explanation by ex-
perts before its amendment, 1t is
schedule X.
But I have no sufficient data upon
which I can judge how schedule X
ought to be amended or how It's rates
ought to be reduced IN order that the
new bill shall furnish the proper
measure of protection and no more.
Nor have l sources Of information
which satisfy me that that bill pre-
sented to me for signature will accom-
plish his result"

WILEY RULE REVERSED
OVERRULED BY BOARD IN SYRUP
CASE DECISION.
Offered Money by Manufacturers TO
Make Ruling Favorable to
Their Product.

Washington.-That three of Pres1-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet Otlcers-Sec-
retaries Cortelyou. Straus and Wilson
sitting as a board Of review, mad
reversed the governments ruling
against the Corn Products company
was the assertion Of DR.. H. w. Wiley
as a witness in his own behalf.
The case was that Of the Corn Prod
ucts company, whose right to apply
the name of corn syrup to glucose
the bureau of chemistry and the board
of food and drug inspection had de-
MED.
Doctor Wiley testified that when
the bureau and the board had agreed
that the name was a m1sappllcatlon
the corporation had offered money to
chemists to make afidavits that corn
syrup" was a proper description.
Shortly afterward, he declared, the
board Of three cabinet ott1cers-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury Cortelyou, Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor StTaus
and Secretary of Agriculture wilson
set aside the decision and sustained
the contention of the corporation
That ruling, he added, still stands.
In opening his testimony Doctor
Wiley placed in evidence the letter
written by Secretary Wilson on April
"a, 1907, notifying him Of the appoint
ment of Doctor Dunlap as associate
chemist. This is the letter which
Doctor Wiley interpreted as giving
Doctor Dunlap authority greater than
his own.

BY A DOG
TRIP COUNTY WOMAN SEVERE
LY BITTEN BY ANIMAL.
Mrs. r A. Hays, While E~ndeavoring
to Aid Her Young Son, Re-
ceives Ugly Wounds.

Sioux Falls.-Rushing to the aid or
her young son when he was attacked
by a vicious dog, Mrs. r. A. hays,
wife of a we'll known resident OF
Tripp county, was herself attacked
by the fierce animal. She was quite
badly injured before assistance ar
rived and the dog was driven on. Inc
little boy also was seriously nJureu'
the fangs of the dog having pee"
sun about half a dozen times IN MS
side, inhicting deep and ugly wounds,
AS the dog had a reputation OF beng
vicious, and had previously caused
much complaint on the part of persons
who were compelled to pass the home
of its owner, it is believed a ama&e
suit will result from the last eScapade
Of the animal, which was shot II
killed in accordance with an order
from the board of health.

STATEHOOD BILL VETOED
President WithhoIds Approval Be-
cause of judiciary Recall Clause
In Arizona Constitution

Washington.-President Taft, in
a special message to the house
of representatives, vetoed the joint
resolution providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico n Arizona
to statehood. His reason for exer-
cising the executive power Of veto
was based on his thorough disapproval
of the recall Of judges clause In the
Arizona constitution.
The fact that New Mexico's state
hood was bound up with that of Ari-
IONA melted out to 1t the same fate,
and neither territory a come into
the Union at this time unless friends
of the joint resolution In congress
can muster the two-thirds vote neces-
sary to adopt the resolution over the
presidents veto. This may be at
tempted.

for the axe in a five passenger fuIl-
man car. when just as they reached the
tracks OF the Great Northern Ihey
we're run down by a string oil lr"l&ht
cars pushed by a South Dakota cen
trail switch engine. The car was
struck square in the middle and before
the men could jump it was Whlrleu
over rnd over and was being Slowly
ground TO pieces under the wheels or
the train. The men were caught ike
rats in a trap beneath the top or the
tonneau, which, however, proved 10 De
their life preserVer. Frantic cries ~
the engineer brought the string OF cars
to a standstill at the earliest possible
moment, and the fronZ1ed
dragged the unrecOgnizable mass or
wreckage from beneath the tram eN-
pecting to find but the mangled bodies
of the two men. When the top was
torn away bOth men were alive ana
though bruised and covered with blood,
neither man had even a bone broken.
Unless their internal Injuries prove
more serious than is now thought
the doctors say both will DO discharged
from the hospital within a few weeks.

BLAISDELL ACCUSES
HANNA OF TREACHERY

A letter written py Alfred Blais.
dell to friend, on Nov. 10, 1910, &C.
cusing Congressman Hanna Of double
crossing him, and Of performing acts
OF political dishonesty, has just
come to light. Blaisdell who was
supposed to have been danna's rum
ing mate early in the game, apparent
ly has good reasons to complain. In
the first place, he was assessed $500
by the committee which he paid. His
name and that of Hanna were sup
posed to appear on 100000 tickets"
which were actually printed, but never
sent out. Blaisdell was defeated by
a narrow margin and attributes his
defeat to the fact that he did not dis
cover Hanna's treachery until four
days before election Blaisdell even
tually got his $500 back, but naturally
feels pretty sore at Hanna and if he
or his friends ever get an opportunity
they will no doubt pay him back.
