a month on a spree, and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years.
was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral. They had
plenty Of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what wag going on I'M

listened. The priest referred to the
dead man in glowing terms. After

TO REDUCE COTTON TARIFF
Duties Far in Excess of Difference in
Production Cost.

Observation-Disclosures Taft transmit.
ted to congress the tariff boards report
on the cotton schedule with the recon-
mendation that that section of the tariff
law be taken up with a view to revision
and reductions in the rates of duty.
The president advises congress that
the boards investigations have shown
that the duties OH cotton yarns is two
and three times in excess of the difference
of the cost of production in the United
States and abroad. The duties imposed
because of finishing processes are in ex-
cess OF the difference in the extra cost
due to finishing, and are often in excess
OF the total domestic cost of finishing.
Prices paid by consumers in the United
States are higher than abroad, even when
prices received by manufacturers in both
places arc the same. This is said to be
due to the higher cost of distribution
here. Plain clothes are as cheap here
as anywhere, but on fancy fabrics the
duties are in excess of the differences
IN cost, and in many cases the duties are
greater than the conversion costs in the
mills of the United States.

London.--Premier Asguith and hi

The position of the government is that
it cannot put the 5 and 2 shillings clause
into the bill without creating a precedent
that would be quoted by every trades
union in the country as justifying that
their own wages should be fixed at their
W figure by parliament. The ministers
are divided on the subject, but the ma
jority, supported by a majority of the
Liberals and all the Unionists, are reso-
lutte against creating such a precedent.
The miners are equally firm in refusing
to return to work unless they are guar
anteed 5 shillings for adults and 2 for
boys in the bill OF by an agreement with
Y mine owners. They say that they
have already given in on the major ques-
tons of the hewers' wages and claim
that the owners should give way in
their turn on the s. shillings minimum.
The mine owners reply hat while
many mines can afford to pay 5 shillings
and 2 shillings, there are others that
cannot. They refuse, therefore, to yield
to any authority save that of an act of
parliament, which the ministers, for rea.
sons stated, refuse to pass.
Many of the chapels and all schools

Throughout Wales the army of unem-

IN Securing Physical Valuation Commerce
Commission Will Insist Upon In

Morgan and Kuhn Loeb.

Washington.-Presenting a complete
plan for the physical valuation of all
the railroads in the United States and
expressing firm conviction that overcap
italization can never be prevented oil
equitable transportation rates fixed until
such valuation is made, Democratic and
Republican members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission have joined hands
in an appeal to congress for an appro'
priation of $3,OoO,O 900 to accomplish that
great work. They ask for an additional
appropriation to investigate the amount
OF water in present railroad securities.
As one of the essential steps to an
adequate physical valuation the commits
sion %oun that it would insist upon
authority to investigate the books OF
}. p. Morgan & Co., and Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.
The revolutionary step was advised
by Commissioner Clements, Democrat,
and Meyer, Republican, at an executive
session of the house committee OH inter.
state and foreign commerce, now consil.
ering a bill drawn by Chairman Adam
son, urging the commission to make the
physical valuation and the bond and
stock @restigation.
Commissioner Clements and Meyer
expressed belief that they can make the
special inquiry into stocks and bonds in
two years, but that it will take at least
three to complete the valuation of the
railroad properties, which are said to be
worth Sis, $500, O0O, 1000.
The inquiry ought to be extended"
declared Judge Clements, ito enable the
commission, or whoever makes it, to
make an inspection or examination of the
books of those banking institutions that
conduct these organizations, like Pier
pont Morgan's house in Louisville and
Nashville, and the Atlantic Coast Line
transactions, and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., that
figured in the Alton case.
"The holding company that stands be-
tween the operating company which
serves the public and is a kind of a screen
FOR the people who actually control the
operating carrier and yet are not in d.
rect contact technically with it, is a
matter that ought to be investigated"

Chicago.-Chicago packers ended a ten
years legal battle with the government
when a jury in United States District
Judge Carpenters court found them not
guilty Of violating the criminal section
Of the Sherman antitrust law.
Whether further Investigation in the
beef packing industry will be made, Dis
trict Attorney Wilkerson refused to say.
The verdict came after the jury had
been out nineteen hours. At no time
during the deliberations were the pack
ers in danger. Only three ballots were
taken. The first was eight to four for
acquittal, the second eleven to one, and
the verdict came with the third.
Failure of the government to prove
its case beyond reasonable doubt was
responsible for the verdict, several jurors
said. They did not review the exhibits
In the case. The mass of figures and
reports mystified them.
After the announcement Of the verdict

pork and bacon and 7 IL to 10 cents

The addition to the cost of the packing
