Taft today transmitted 10 congress the
tariff boards report on the cotton sched-

section Of the tariff law be taken up with
a view TO revision aud reductions in the
rates of duty ...
The president advises congress that the
boards Investigations have shown that
the duties on some cotton yarns is two
and three times in excess Of the difference
Of the cos of production In the United
states and abroad. The duties imposed
because Of finishing processes are In eS-

due to finishing anG 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 are the same, This Is said TO be
due TO the higher cost of distribution
here. Plain cloths are as cheap here as
anywhere. but on fancy fabrics the duties
are in excess Of the difference In cost,
and IN many cases the duties are greater
than the CONVERSION costs at the mills OF

the Beacon Press was doing such hand

Baldrlge examples. He said Omaha
should be proud that 1t had firm which
could do such high class work.
Both the Beacon Press and Baker Bros.
Engraving company are Omaha firms.
The engraving company for many years
has been doing some Of the finest half
tone engraving seen in the west. Its
success with the Baldrige pictures proves
that II has the right to lay claim TO

The Beacon Press has received many
orders for high class printing since the

results as can be obtained from any large
firm in all the west.

ference in cost Of production at home and
abroad.
The report Of the board shows the DIFF
ficulty Of stating in general terms diff
ferences in costs OF production for great
variety Of cotton manufactures the
president wrote. The differences vary
widely. according to the character Of the
particular fabric.
The report shows that the cost Of spin
ming cotton yarn In this country Is
greater than in the leading competing
country. In the case Of ordinary warp
and filling yarns. forming the bulk Of
the production Of the domestic industry.
the foreign cost Of turning cotton yarn
is shown to be about 20 per cent Of the
domestic cost.
HIgh Duties on Yarns.
THE duty on these yarns is two or
three times In excess Of the difference In
cost OF production. On some highly spe-
cialIzed yarns and on yarns Of the high
est count-that is, OF greatest fineness--
the duty In some cases about equalizes
the differences in conversion costs.
In many cases. however. on the higher
grades Of yarn which are produced in
this country, the duty is in excess Of the
difference in the cost Of production.
though by a much less amount In the
case Of ordinary warp and filling yarns.
1.-THE difference in the cost of weaving
yarns into cloth as between this country
and its chief competitor. varies according
TO the character OF the fabric. In the
case OF many cloths OF plain weave the
American cost OF weaving seems to be
lower than the foreign cost. due 10 the
greater number Of looms tended per
weaver in this country This reduces the
labor cost per yard despite the higher
earning OF the American weaver. This
conclusion IL further substituted by
the fact that cloths OF this description

No real clue to the whereabouts
of Chas. D. Conway, the circus
clown, and Beatrice Ryall, the
burlesque queen, wanted for the
murder of Sophia Singer last
Monday night yet uncovered.
Hundreds of tips have been
given the police telling how pair
answering their description were
seen on the street or in cafes, but
none of them amounted to any
thing.
The police of six other cities
have wired here saying they had
the man and woman under OBJ
.servation, and that an arrest
might be expected at any mo-
ment.
The general belief of the po-
lice is that neither the man or the
woman ever left Chicago, and
that they now are in hiding in the
Twenty-second street district.
The Milwaukee police report
ed that a man answering the de-
scription of Conway, accompan-
led by woman, went to a hos
pital there to have an operation
performed on his leg, but turned
sick when he saw the surgical in
struments and left the hospital.
That Conway made a practice
of strong-arm work was discov-
cred from William R. Warthen,
the slain woman'S lover, now held
by the police as a material wit
ness.
Warthen was questioned by
Detective Wolvington of Balti-

all told him Conway got the
money by blackjacking a drunken
man.
Warthen last night proved his
abb, and the police are satisfied
that he had no connection with
the murder.
Warthen denied today that he
ever had been a wire Taper. He
said that he used to get telephone
reports from Baltimore on the
races half an hour or so before
the poolrooms got the messages,
and would then place his sure
thing bets.
Warthen'S story revealed that
it is easier to make a bet in Chi
cago than to fall off a log, despite
the number of times Assistant
Chief Schuettler has assured the
people that all gambling was
stopped.
Jacob Fowner, $50 North West
ern avenue, a cousin of the slain
woman, declared today that she
was one OF. the heirs to the $50
100000 estate of Henry Brocius,
of France.

Boston, Dec 29.-Representative James

He said:
MY reference to the tea party as
beer party was made with a purpose,
that purpose being the endeavor to cor
rect errors of early chroniclers, whose
writings of American history had a basis
other than facts. Had referred to the
tea party upon the floor Of Congress or
National House OF Representatives as
John Duggan's tea party. 1t would have

rendered difficult, If not impossible, the
