, DEAD IN HOTEL BAT TIE
MAN AND WOMAN SOUGHT AS
 ROBBERS LOSE LIVES.
One Detective Is Dead, Two Others Cannot Live and Two Are Ex-
 pected to Recover.
T-4sAs

New York, Nov. 20.-The body of Henry Nogel, described by the police as an international crook, and beside it the body of his girl, "Lottie," lay ill the morgue Tuesday, John Allen. a city detective, was dead, while in up- town hospitals four men, two of them detectives, were near death, unable to give a connected account of how they were shot in a raid on Vogel's rooms, where he was sought as diamond thief.
 In the fusilade which followed the entrance of the detectives, Vogel and the woman were killed instantly. Ac- counts vary as to whether he shot his companion and killed himself or whether they fell before the fire from the officers.
 Of the wounded hope was ex. pressed for the recovery of two Luigi Gerardi, private detective, and William Butler, waiter. For the other two, both shot in the abdomen, there was little hope.
 They are Martin s. Fay, a city de- tective, and Louis Mondscheim. pro- prietor of the hotel where the battle occurred.
 Allen died shortly before o'clock Tuesday morning. Operations were performed on Fay, Butler, the waiter, and on Mondscheim.
 The police have in their possession two steamer trunks, a valse, a dress suit case, handbag and steamer bag, which, when opened, are expect ed to reveal the secret, if not the loot of many big robberies and may lead to arrests in other cities.
 Girl Thief Breaks Down.
 The trailing of the pair, which re- suited in the fatal shooting, followed directly the arrest of dishonest serv- ant girl She is Sophie Beckendorf, IS years old, who broke down in the Tombs, confessed to several robberies and implicated Vogel as the fence" for servant girls who made it their practice to answer advertisements and accept positions with the sole idea of robbery.
 She told the police of Vogel's where abouts, and within an hour he had been trailed to the hotel where the fight occurred.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 20.-Five eral fatally, as the result of fire which virtually destroyed the St. George hotel, on East Third street, near Main. Only the heroism of the employees of the hotel and the fremen prevented many others perishing. The dead are:
 Mrs. Charlotte Harrington, actress, who leaped from the fifth story win dow, and missed the net; Mrs. Ellen Moran, actress, who leaped from the sixth floor; Mrs. Moran's infant child; Joseph Martin, jeweler, and a Mrs. Arthur, who died ot injuries.
 Oscar Jones, an elevator boy, kept his car running through smoke and flames until he took down nearly ali the guests on the sixth floor, and it was not until the fire put the machin- cry out of order that Jones quit. Mean while firemen with ladders and life nets were outside emptying the win dOws which were filled with men and women.
 Engineer Proves Self Hero.
 Julius Malone, engineer of the hotel, was caught on an upper floor while trying to rescue women guests, and was burned fatally.
 Ray Harrah and his wife, vaudeville actors, were hurt badly.
 There was only a single stairway in the building. The fire started on the fifth floor near the stairs, which soon were burned through. Because of that fact, the occupants of the rooms or the sixth floor, all of which were filled, were compelled to depend on the elevator to get to safety.
 When the elevator was out of com mission the fire was so hot that those who left in many cases swung from the sills outside of the window. Some were rescued by the firemen and oth- CTS, their strength failing, were com pelled to drop to the pavement below.

No farmer can afford to vote the
Democratic ticket because Democratic
victory means lower prices for his
products, depreciation in the value OF
his farm lands, and the impossibility
of borrowing any money in times Of
emergency.
A vote for Woodrow Wilson Is a vote
for free trade, and a vote for Roose-
welt is half vote for Wilson and free
trade. The only security for the far
mer is in the reelection of President
Taft and the continuation OF the Re-
publican party in power.

NEGLECT OF THE FARMERS
Record Of Recent Democratic Con-
9ress Was HurtfuI to the AerI-
cultural Interests.

Democratic government does not
beneflt the farmer. The record of the
Democratic majority of the house dur
ing the second session OF the Sixty
second congress proves this in more
ways than one
During the past summer the field
work in agricultural education all
over the country was completely de-
moralized. The Democratic house
failed to pass the appropriation bill in
time to meet the needs for the work
and many local institutions and COM
munities that had sought aid were se-
riously embarrassed.
The activities in behalf of farmers
institutes were interrupted because
the leader In charge of the work had
to be recalled. owing to lack of funds.
Every state and territorial expert
ment station in the country felt the
serious effects of Democratic neglect.
There are sixty-flve of these stations,
where 1000 persons are regularly en-
ployed. In addition to numerous labor
ers and other help. Summer IL the
busy season for the experiment sta
tions and failure to receive the neces-
sary funds not only seriously ham.
pered the work, but in not few
cases necessitated postponement or
modification Of investigations. Numer-
GUS plans at the stations awaited the
annual inspection. which could not be
made without funds and must be put
back until next year.
Owing to the Democratic delay, the
department of agriculture was COM
PEELED to discontinue field work in
connection with soil surveys. The
potash and fertilizer investigations
were also suspended for lack Of
funds

PROTECTION GIVES HIM GOOD
MARKETS FOR HIS PRODUCTS
At FAIR PRICES.
PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN
Prosperity Under Republican AdmInIs-
tration, With Distress Under Dem.
ocratie Control, 10 the Answer to
Professor Wilson's Inaccurate
Statements Regarding Tariff.

Professor Wilson, who has been ad-
vocating free trade in all Of his speech
es, says that the farmers never have
been protected and do not need pro-
lection. Then he ads:
But everything you use on the
farm, everything that you wear and a
great deal OF what you eat, but do not
produce yourself. including meats.
bears q heavy duty. which brings
about the interesting result that you
are paying for the wealth Of the Unit
ed States and getting nothing, or
equivalent to nothing, SO far as the
tariff is concerned. Now that has not
Just begun to be true. 1t has always
been true"
1t is not true The protective tariff
does benefit the farmers. They know
1t, and by their voets have helped to
maintain the policy of protection. Ev-
cry Republican victory has been due
to the vote of the farmers In support
of the protective system. These far
mers have not been mistaken through
all these years. The value of protec-
ton has been demonstrated to them
over and over again.
The fact is that every time tariff
duties have been reduced below the
protective point, the farmers in this
country have been heavy losers be-
cause OF diminished demand and lower
prices for their products. On the 9TH
er hand, in every period Of restored
protection, the farmers have reaped
the benefits OF greater demand and
increased prices. There has been no
exception to the rule Of prosperity for
American farmers, when American
labor is fully employed.
There were good crops between
1892 and 1897. The rains fell, the
sun shone, the ground was just as fer
tile as now In those years, however,
corn sold for 16 cents bushel and
wheat for 35 cents a bushed.
Why?
Because the factories were closed
and millions of men were idle. With
the lowering OF the tariff duties, Amer
ican merchants bought their goods
abroad, and the orders which should
have gone to American factories kept
foreign labor busy. AS payment for
these various goods had to be made
in gold, the vaults of the banks and
of the United States treasury became
empty. There was great stringency Of
money. 1t was impossible to negoti-
ate loans. and banks suspended.
The farmer shared in these disas-
ters because he had no market for his
products.
After the Republicans came into
power and passed laws which turned
the tide Of commerce back from
Europe to the United States, good
times began again, and the farmers
shared iv the general prosperity.
These are .he figures, comparing 1896
with 1911:
Corn advanced 100 per cent
Wheat advanced 81 per cent.
Cotton advanced 166 per cent.
Oats advanced 2S per cent.
Rye advanced 15 per cent.
Barley advanced 30S per cent.
Hay advanced 1888 per cent.
Hops advanced 2sS per cent.
Potatoes advanced 2S2 per cent.
