DENVER POLICE ARRIVE
Attempt to Hold Up Restau-

Thug After He Had Shot Gus

lBy Morning Journal Special Leased w,rel
Denver Feb. l1.-After he had
shot patron of the White House
cafe. whom he mistook for the CASH
Ter, hold up was disarmed by two
women tonight and held by them un-
til the arrival of the police. The
hold up gave his name as Louis Will
son, but receipts of the Odd Fellows
order, found on his person, bear the
name of Louis Wecheter. The re-
ceipts were issued by lodge in Phil
adelphia.
Wilson entered the cafe and order
ed w. Clifford Burrows, who was sit
ting near the cash register, to hand
over the money in the register. Bur
rows, who is an employe of local
hardware company and forty-three
years Of age. refused and grappled
with the hold up.
In the tussle, the gun, which the
would-be robber carried, was dis
charged, the bullet entering Burrows
side. At this juncture Mrs. w. J.
Huff, proprietor of the cafe, and her
daughter, Mrs. C. f. Schroeder, ap-
peared. disarmed the intruder and
held him under cover of the revolver
until the police arrived.
Wilson was taken to the headquar-
ters and Burrows hurried to the coun-
ty hospital. 1t is believed that Bur
rows wound is fatal.
Wilson refused to explain the pos.
session of the lodge receipts and in
sisted that Wilson was his real name,
necessary, Is the lower price OF labor
in the foreign country as compared
with the price of labor in our own.
There was time when leading re-
publicans thought there was no dan
ger of having tariff higher than
necessary to protect any industry.
But the temptation to combine
from which the price could be con-
trolled and thus the excessive tariff
taken advantage OF, led to modifica
ton Of the protection theory and to
a declaration that the protection OF
any industry ought not to exceed in
the tariff imposed, more than the
difference between the cost of pro-
duction abroad, the cost of production
here, and enough to give fair profit
to the domestic producex or manu-
facturer.
THE conditions of production and
OF manufacture in the United States
and In Canada are substantially the
same. Wages may differ in one part
of Canada from another part, just as
wages differ in different states in this
country, but the price paid them per
unit of work Is not substantially less
in Canada than in this country.
I'm other words, the plank in the
platform of the last republican con-
vention, carried to its logical conclu-
sion, would lead to substantial free
trade with Canada.
I'm many cases where the agree
ment has been criticised for not max
ing greater reductions we could not
secure them because In the judgment
of our Canadian friends the trade or
Industry which they desired to foster
would suffer by a greater reduction,
thus with respect to meats, we would
have been glad to put them on the
free list. Canada objected and we OBJ
tained the best figures we could"
The president said the criticism
that reductions had been avoided
purposely on manufactured articles
was wholly unfounded and that a rec
iprocity agreement between the United
States and Canada must of necessity
relate more to agricultural producers
than manufacturers.
THE suggestion that the opening
of our markets to Canadian wheat
and other cereals" continued the
president, will reduce the price of
land in Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa, is refuted by every table of
statistics
ITO let the wheat of the northwest
come down to Minneapolis and Chi
cago will steady the price of wheat
TALLY reduce the price of wheat. fixed
for the world In Liverpool, no one
familiar with conditions will assert"
The president further asserted that
in removing the artificial barriers be-
tween the northwestern part of the
United States and Canadian provinces,
the agreement would result In the
bringing of live cattle to feed on the
corn of the American farmer.
The president said that no step
could be taken more In the interest
of reasonable policy of protection
than the approval of the treaty" and
that insistence on too much protec-
ton would rouse an opposition In this
country that will know no modera-
tion.''
I'VE have taken up those things
that are involved In a Canadian rec
iprocity treaty because opportunity
offered" declared President Taft In
conclusion. Now Is the accepted
time. She is at the parting Of the
ways. Shall she be an isolated coun-
try. as much separated from us as II
she were across the ocean. or shall
her people and our people profit by
the proximity that our geography fur
nishes and stimulate the trade across
the border that nothing but use
less, illogical and unnecessary tariff
