DEMOCRATS CHEMICAL TARIFF
II is Expected to increase the ReVen
ues by S3,530,s40

Washington. Feb. 13.-The demo
cratic chemical tariff bill made public
today by the ways and means commit
tee OF the House, is expected to in
crease the governments revenues by
$3,53O,S4O over those of the present
fiscal year, although the reduction OF
ad valorem duties proposed is about
81 per cent.
Principally, the measure increases
the duties on perfumes, fancy soaps
and other luxuries and lowers the
duties on drugs and materials in com.
mon use.
The democrats will caucus on the
measure tomorrow and It probably
will be introduced in the House on
Saturday. Democratic Leader Under
wood today summed up the changes
proposed by the bill as follows:
There is a general reduction In
the duties on chemical products but
no increase in revenue. We have Ia.
ken articles now on the free list and
made them share taxation for revenue
purposes only. The articles transfer.
red to the free list amounted in i'm
ports in 1911 to S2S3,34S and produc
ed revenue of $SS,691. The articles
taken from the free list and made du
table amounted in imports in 1911
to $41,6670 900.
The result to the chemical SEIZED
ule is an estimated increase In i'm
ports for the first year of 500, 743, 900
compared with s4S.S69,0OO in 1911
The estimated duties under the new
bill would amount to S16.101. 900 a.
compared with S12,57O.OOO under the
Payne act of 1911. There is an aver
age decrease Of Slh per cent, ad val
orem. the equivalent ad valorem duty
in 1911 being 2572 compared with 16
Ga for the first year of operation o
the new bill"

MANY ATTORNEYS
 SPEAK FOR DEFENSE
ELEVENTH SPELLBlNDER ARGUES INNOCENCE OF ACCUSED pY-
 NAMITE coNsPiRAToRs.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 21.-As the eleventh attorney to speak for the defense, Walter l.. Ball today argued to the jury at the dynamite conspir- aey'' trial in behalf of Hiram R. Kline of Muncie, Ind, former organizer for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
 Kline and Olaf A. Tveitmoe. San Francisco, are the only two of the forty defendants not identified with the Iron Workers.
 Whatever cnarges the government made as to nlines complicity in the explosions against non-union men, MT. Ball said, concerned the defendants presence in Detroit in the summer of 1910.
 The lawyer attacked the testimony of Robt G. Ross, who said the union officials were in Detroit at that time. plotted to blow up five buildings un- des construction by "open shop" con tractors.
 Tt is singular fthat no outsiders were ever present when Ross says the proposed explosions were talked about" said Mir. Ball. It is still more singular that Ross had no visible means of support other than he was working fer a firm who was friendly tc union labor. Afterwards Ross got g government job as mechanic in Honolulu and he was brought all the way from Honolulu to tell that fiimsy story of his."
 Aired k. Hovey. aGethe. attorney for the defense, charged that 'the government in this prosecution has been aided by the National Erectors association"
 Four days are to be devoted to argument before the jury receives it's instructions to retire and vote upon its verdicts.

Mir. Rockefellers money is being used in paying ex- perts, fourteen of whom have been at wark since December 9 on an investi. gation. MT. Rockefeller's donation was prompted, it is said through his interest tn social conditions ever since he was foreman of grand jury which investigated the white slave traffic.
 Henry Bruere director of the bureau Of municipal research under whose direction the investigation is being conducted, made this statement con. sA ming MT. Rockefeller's contribu. ton.
 We are making study for the first time in this country of the way a police department works. We are not snooping around: we are not seeking evidence of graft or of the failure of the department to cope with vice and crlme-if it does at all. We want to ind out how the machine warks. Ii was for this purpose that Mr. Rocke. teller made his grant and he made it because of the constructive in. terest he has had in such things since he was chairman of the white slave grand jury"

 Wanted By Pittsburg.

Chicago, Dec. 21.--Waivers have been asked on Mike Donlin. the vet erars outfelder by the Pittsburg club. As yet no club has refused to waive on him and it appears that he is due to return to the minors.
 Donlin did well at the bat for Pitts burg last year until he broke toe and was forced to sit out most of the remainder of the season on the bench. Nor was his fielding as fast before his injury as in former years.
 Runners have been current during the winter that Donlin might become a manager next year, and if he lands such a position. he may not return to the smaller leagues as a player.

CHARGE Limited to SIPS a

Railroads.

Representative Adamson of Georgia
chairman of the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, reported the Pan
anna canal bill to the House yesterday
and spoke on its provisions which would
limit the toll charge to $1.25 a ton, with
discretionary authority vested in the
President.
The apprehension of railroad-Owned
vessels driving competition from the
canal the report says, referring to the
section which would bar from the canal
such vessels, is an evil only anticipated
there which already exists in the coast
wise trade on both coasts, as well as on
our lakes and rivers.
The proper function of railroad cor.
poration is to operate trains on its
tracks. not to occupy the water with
ships in mock competition with itself,
which IL reality operate to the extinc-
ton of all genuine competition
Railroads Excluded.
He said the bill would exclude the
railroads from operating vessels in COM
petition with their tracks anywhere in

sells through the canal, can connect on
either coast with coastwise vessels pass

BOB SPADE INJURED
Former Cincinnati Pitcher
Stabbed in Saloon BraWl.
WAS STAR WITH REDS
Made Best Record in 1908, When
He Was Winning Pitcher
With That Team.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 16-As
the result of an argument in his
saloon tonight Robert Spade. former
well known base ball player and star
pitcher with the Reds three years ago,
was stabbed four times in the back.
and severely cut about the head with
a knife tonight.
Spade was rushed to the City Hospi
tai. where physicians say his condi
tion is serious. Daniel Evers, one of
the men engaged in the argument, was
arrested soon after the fray, charged
with using a knife on Spade.
Spade. according to story given
out by the police, was standing in front
of the bar in the saloon, conversing
with his bartender, Robert Clemens,
when Evers entered. An argument is
said to have arisen between Clemens
and Evers. and Spade ordered Evers
out of the saloon. AS result the
men came to blows. and in the mix-up
Spade received his injuries. His assail-
ant escaped. but was later captured by
detectives assigned to the case.
Spade established reputation as
star pitcher while member of
the Reds pitching staff. He re-
tired from active participation in the
game aIIeT snort season WITH
the ST Louis American League Club.
He later secured position as an UNI
pire in one of the minor leagues. He
also was pitcher for the Newark, N.
j., club during 1910. Several weeks
ago he located in Cincinnati and open
ed the saloon in which he was stabbed
tonight.
Best Year Was in 1908.
Spades best year in the big league was
in 1908. when he was a member of the
Cincinnati team. In that year he won
seventeen and lost thirteen games. He
either finished or started six other games
in that season. John CAMEL was man
ager of the Reds and Spade was his
first choice in the box. The following
year Spade bObbed up as hold-out and
finally, after affairs regarding his salary
were adjusted. he failed to show any of
his class of the previous year and he
was sent to the Newark team of the
Eastern League. With Newark he par
ticipated in only thirteen games and had
disastrous season, lasting but a few
full contests.
While with the Reds Spade became
popular with the Cincinnati fans, and
the announcement that he was to pitch
always served to draw a large crowd.
He was a willing worker. and went in
the box many times out of his regular
turn. He was pinch hitter of no mean
ability, and settled many close games
by his timely hitting in the last in
ming.
He was undecided regarding base ball
work during the coming season. but
it is said that he was seeking a posi-
ton of either pitcher or umpire in one
of the Cincinnati amateur leagues.
Spade came here from Atlanta of the
Southern League, and was highly touted
to the Reds as one Of the best pitchers
in that organization. His work in the
Southern League was sterling. and he
made good here from the start.
