NO BODIES STOLEN.
Dissertation of the w. L. Scott Vault
Was for Revenge.

Erie. Pa, Feb. 11.-No bodies were
stolen from the mausoleum of the late
Congressman w. L. Scott. This author
lied information was given to the AS
sociated Press by friend of the fam
lily of Charles H. Strong. son-in-law
OF the late congressman. Four of the
crypts had been broken open. The
casket containing Mrs. McCollum' s
body had been placed head foremost
in an unoccupied crypt, in the inner
most recess of the mausoleum None
of the bodies had been molested. The
disturbed caskets were those of Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Scott, Mrs. Anna Nc
Collum and Richard Townsend, a SON
in-law of Scott.
Nothing of value was removed from
the mausoleum or any of the bodies
The statement of detectives that jewels
were sought by the robbers was ridi-
culed by the family.
In the mausoleum was fonnd coat,
a pickax a jack knife and a can
opener. Through these, it was said,
that two arrests would be made. The
motive for the vandalism is pro-
nounced one of vengeance.

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 obtained
the best figures we could
The president said the criticism that
reductions had been avoided purpose
lv on manufacturers articles was
Wholly unfounded and that reciproc-
ity agreement between the United
States and Canada must of necessity
relate more to agricultural products
than manufactures.
1"The suggestion that the opening of
our markets to Canadian wheat and
other cereals continued the presl-
dent. "wiIl reduce the price of land in
Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, is re-
futed by every table of statlstlcs.
ITO let the wheat of the northwest
come down to Minneapolis and Chi
cago will steady the price of wheat
But that it will in the end substantially
reduce the price of wheat, fixed for the
world in Liverpool, no one 1amll1ar
with conditions will assert.
ssIt will give to the United States much
greater control of the wheat market than
IT mas ever had before. 1t Will enaoIe It's

nroduct and will stimulate the sale of
manufacturers and other things thaI We
have to sell in Canada
removing the artificial barriers between
the northwestern part of the United
late and Canadian prov1dences, the
agreement would result in the bringing
over of live cattle to feed on the corn or
the American farmer.
The president said that no step could DO
taken more in the interest of reasonable
policy of protection than the approval or
the treaty and that insistence of too
much protection would arouse an opposl-
tion in this country "that will know no
moderation" He said that that was his
reason also for favoring the creation alton, z, OF

HE STARTS AT URBANA.

Champaign, ILL.,, Feb. 11.-President
Taft after an all night run from
Columbus, Ohio, arrived here this
morning and started in bright and
early on his second day of speech
making in support of the proposed
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Mr.. Taft's special speech on this sub
ject was delivered before the Illinois
state legislature at Springfield this
afternoon. He will also speak at a
Lincoln day banquet in Springfield to-
night.
Detraining at Urbana this morning
the president and members of his par

passed through Danville, the home or
Speaker Cannon, early this morning,
but it was long before the president
was up.
Following a trip through the univer-
sity grounds and review OF the stud
ent cadets, President Taft spoke from
the platform of his car here just be-
fore leaving for Detroit. His subject
was reciprocity. He said in part:
Il wish to invite your attention to
the fact that there is pending today
in congress a measure which if adopt
ed Will, I think, make an epoch IN
the history of this country. 1t is the
bill for the adoption of the reciprocity
agreement made between the eXecu-
tives of the Dominion of Canada and
the United States.
Il venture to say to young men that
if the treaty or pact or contract be
adopted not in your lives will there be
any departure from it, because the
beneficial effect to both countries will
impress itself so deeply upon all the
people, that there will be no movement
toward a new separation"

Governor Impatient About
Those Party Pledges.
Not One Is Ready for His Sigma
ture.
NE THAT WILL PASS.
Utilities Bill Certain to Go
Through in Some Form.
Prof. L. L. Dyche Is Sick at
Heart.

The fifth week of the legislative ses-
sion has drawn to a close and not a
single party pledge has been re-
deemed. Some of them are on the
senate scrap heap and some have been
amended and some have not been con-
sidered at all outside of committee.
But not one has gone down to the
governors office for his signature The
governor waits like the parents of lost
Charlie Ross, but no pledges enter his
parlor to hear the redemption song.
Tired of waiting, his excellency this
ture to hurry and get down to busi-
ness with these party platform planks.
The senate answered by killing two of
them, the initiative and referendum
and the recall. The house answered
by setting next Wednesday as a day
apart for the consideration of these
pledges in particular.
Senator Brewster Friday, at the
funeral of the recall bill, voiced the
sentiments of the standpat senators
when he declared that they were not
allowed a hearing at the party coun-
Gil when these pledges were adopted
and that now they seized the advan-
tage offered them in the legislature for
the first time to express their senti-
ments on the above mentioned pledges.

pledges into laws. True, they have

their votes by declaring that they can

With about two weeks more to run,
1t looks as though the only party
pledge sure to be redeemed is the pub
lie utilities bill, the most important,
by the way, of them all The senators
who killed the recall and the I. and
r. denounced them as Populistic meas
ures not demanded by the people, but
they admitted at the time that the util-
tiles law is bona fide need for the
public good.
The house judiciary committee has
about ready for presentation to that
