Both on Maple-st.
Barking Of Family Dog at Eckhardt
Home Frustrates Plans of
Intruder.

After one night of inactivity, De
troit's bicyclist prowler made a sud.
den appearance again. early Thurs
day morning. He attempted an en-
trance through windows In the
homes OF John Harmon, No. 24S
Maple-st., and Fred Eckhardt, No. 24l
Maple-st. The matter was not re-
ported to the central station until
Thursday noon.

family fiat on the second floor. He
climbed up the rear porch to the rear
window and cut the screen from il.
Mr.. Hannah and son were sleeping
In the room. where the prowler at.
tempted to enter. They failed to hear
him. Margaret Hannah, q daughter,
about 16 years old, was In the bath
room. which adjoins the room, the
prowler attempted to enter. She saw
him and screamed and the fellow left
burriedly.
At the Eckhardt home, the myster-
ious visitor attempted to get In a
side window. Here he was frustrat-
ed In his efforts by small dog, that
set up a furious barking. In the Eek
hardt home. there is a young daugh-
ter, Elsie Eckhardt.
The homes on Maple-st. are In
close proximity to the home OF Miss
Elsie Barsch, at No. 155 Hendricks

morning.
Among other homes entered by the
prowler was that Of Patrolman John
Briskie, OF the flying squadron. Dris-
kie lives at No. 126 Tillman-ave., and
1t is thought the prowler made bold
to enter the home, because he knows
the officer works at night. There are
three women In the Briskie home.
The intruder in climbing through q
pantry window. knocked down jar
and was frightened away. Briskie has
guarded against a repetition OF the

WOOL BILL IS
VETOED BY TAFT
President Says Party Pledges Prompt
Him To Disapproye Measure, Which
l. Termed Unfair To Many.

wAsHINGToN, Aug. 17.--In spe-
ciais message TO congress, President
Taft this afternoon announced his
veto OF the wool revision bill. ---.----
The president gave as his reason
for this action the fact that there is
not now any available information
showing how the rates OF the wool
schedule should be reduced. nor any
data which satisfied him that the
present bill would accomplish prop
er reduction. He asked congress to
wait 80 days, until the tariff board re-
ported on wool and promised. that he
would then recommend such revision
Of the wool tariff as seemed neces-
sary, according to their report
IF there ever was a schedule that
needed consideration and investiga-
tion and elaborate explanation by ex.
perts before It's amendment, II Is
schedule X" the president declared.
The message says:
mo evidence as to the cost OF pro-
duction here or abroad was published,
and the compromise amendment In
the senate was adopted without ref.
erence to. or consideration by q COM
mittee."
Quoting from the Republican plat
form OF 1908, on which he was elected,
the clause stating the aim OF the party
to maintain protective tariff" the
president declares he was thus
pledged to disapprove the bill.
Moderately estimated. Ave millions
OF the American people will be injuri-
ously affected by an illadvised i'm
pairment OF the wool and woolen In
dustries," the message continues. III
I fail to guard az far as can the In
dustrfes of the country to the extent
of giving them the benefit OF living

charging nv duty. II fail to recon-
mend the revision Of excessive duties

Democrats believe that he is the one

that never met q more intelligent
and nicer lot OF men than the Demo

this trip. II Is q wonder TO me that
Michigan has not gone Democratic
long before under their guidance.
Generally find that the people
are In favor OF Wilson. or course,
Gov. Harmon has some personal
friends. The fact that he has his
summer home In Michigan and his
relations with the people Of the state
as receiver of the Pere Marquette rail-
road have brought him more or less
into contact with Michigan people.
There Is very general capitalization
OF sentiment In favor OF Wilson,
though. and It is the opinion or even
the personal friends OF Harmon that
Wilson will make the stronger rum.
Il find that the fight OF Gov. Wilson
on the senatorship In New Jersey has
won him many personal adherents In
Michigan, as has also his achievement
In bringing New Jersey, which was
generally considered the most corpo-
ration-ridden state In the Union. up
TO be leader among the progressive
states without injuring business inter-
ests In the slightest.
1T Is generally believed that Gov.
Wilson has exerted a strong influence
In reviving good citizenship and I'm

enough interest In political affairs to
cast vote have been aroused TO IN
