OPPOSES SHOTGUN DUTIES.
Representative of Manufacturers Be.
fore Senate Finance Committee.

If the tariff on double-barrel breech-
loading shotguns is reduced to 35 per cent
ad valorem, as proposed in the House
steel tariff revision bill, 20 per cent Of the
manufacturers in the United States will
go out of business. according to Thomas
Hunter of Fulton. N. Y. who appeared
before the Senate finance committee to-
day. Mr.. Hunter said he represented
practically all of the American manufac-
turers. He said that there is difference
of more than IS per cent in the cost of
production here and abroad, which is
largely made up in the cheapness of for
e;en labor He declared that there
should be an increase in tariff instead OF
q reduction.

MEETING TO CONSIDER
SEWERAGE IN SUBURBS
Maryland Citizens Commit
tees Confer With State
Board of Health Members.

Citizens committees of Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties, Md, this
afternoon are meeting with the members
of the Maryland state board of health. in
the board room of the District municipal
building, for the purpose of discussing
means of caring for the sewerage in the
Maryland towns suburban to Washington
along the Rock creek and -Anacosta creek
valleys.
With view to preventing the pollution
with sewerage of the streams that flow
through Rock creek and Anacost:a creek
valleys. District authorities have proposed
the plan of disposng of the sewerage of
the Maryland communities. provided the
communities will build their own systems
for carrying the sewerage to the District
line. where it will be delivered into Dis
trict inteFceptors.
Funds for Preliminary Survey.
At the meeting this afternoon it is
probable that steps will be taken to ask
the Maryland legislature to provide
funds for a preliminary survey to as
certain the cost of building the Maryland
systems. so that the sewerage of the
neighboring sections may be delivered to
interceptors at the District line. both in
the Rock creek and Anacostia valleys.
1t is not likely that an appropriation for
the project will be requested at this
session of the legislature.
While District Commissioner Rudolph
and Superintendent of Sewers Asa E.
Phillips welcomed the members Of the
two committees and the representatives
of the Maryland state board of health,
it was stated that District officials had
nothing to do with the meeting being
held this afternoon. Whether or not the
proposed cooperative scheme Is to be
carried out rests largely with the ac-
ton taken by the Maryland authorities,
1t is stated. Sanitary reasons are the
principal arguments advanced in favor
of the carrying out of the proposed
scheme

Occupation National Necessity.

Premier Gioletti in briefly answering
several of the orators declared that en-
thusiasm for annexation had not carried
him away. He said only cold reasoning
had induced him to undertake the enter
prise in Tripoli and that he acted only
when he was thoroughly and conscien-
tiously convinced that the occupation of
the country was a national necessity.
He added that parliament soon would
be asked to pass bill for the government
of Tripoli, as it would be impossible to
apply Italian laws to a population made
up entirely of Mussulmans. The applica-
ton of Italian law, he declared, would
offend the religious feelings of the Mus
sulmans, and Italy therefore would never
consent to this.
The premier. in concluding. said Italy
had not had opposition from any power
in her war upon Turkey. He urged the
majority in the chamber as we'll as the
OPPOSITION to vote for annexation, in order
to show that the bill expressed the will
Of the nation. The premier was accorded
an enthusiastic ovation as he took his
seat.

TEMPERANCE FORCES
PLAN RALLY MEETING
Anti-SaIoon League Will Hold
Exercises to Further Pend
ing Legislation.

Plans have been completed for a mass
meeting of the temperance interests of
the city next Tuesday evening, at S
O'Clock in the First Congregational
Church 10th and G. streets northwest.
The occasion is the annual rally day OBJ
servance of the Anti-Saloon League OF
the District of Columbia. The principal
speakers of the evening will be Senator
w. S. Kenyon of lowe and Representa-
tive E. Y. Webb of North Carolina.
Officials of the league state that the
church and temperance organizations at
filiated with it are working to make the
meeting one that will demonstrate the
fact that temperance sentiment is very
much alive in Washington. The league
believes that the law of 1893, under which
liquor licenses are now granted. is behind
the times, and that nearly every state in
the Union has better laws for regulating
the liquor traffic. and one of the purposes
for the rally exercises is to further the
interest of pending legislation now before
Congress, which, if enacted into law. the
league claims. will reduce the number oil
licenses to a minimum and will be a long

Nursery and Infants Hospital was form
ally arraigned today in magistrates
court in Brooklyn on preliminary hear
ing. charged with homicide in connection
with the death of eight infants at the
hospital since Sunday. District Attorney

measures today for the appointment of
commission to determine the sanity of the
woman. She is only twenty-four years
old, and has been an attendant in the
hospital since her baby was born. ten
months ago. OF recent years she is said
to have lived a life of uncertain habits.
The detectives, and in fact the coroner,
do not believe the woman is in her right
mind. She was held without bail, and
will be formally examined Monday.
To the courts questions asking her to
plead to the charge, and inquiring il she
wished lawyer to defend her, she re-
piled:
Il don't know what YOU mean. All 1
want is my baby"
Makes Formal Confession.
Mrs. Ankers was arrested last night
on charge of homicide. Following
her arrest Mrs. Ankers formally con-
fessed that she had poured a small por
ton of the contents of a bottle of oxalie
acid solution into twelve bottles of pre-
pared food that she knew was to be
given to the infants in the hospital.
The woman's confession was reduced
by Attorney Warbasse and the police to
written statement, which, Mr.. War
base said, was signed by Mrs. Ankers.
The written statement was procured after
Mr.. Warbasse. Lieut.. Mackirdy of the
Brooklyn detective bureau, and several
other policemen who had been endeavor-
ing to solve the mysterious deaths had
listened to her sOral recounting of the
manner in which she mixed the acid with
a solution of milk and lime water. Even
after this written statement had been
completed the maid, Mr.. Warbasse as
serted, sent for him and DR.. Rodney
Fisk. head of the institution, to make
corrections and additions to it.
