LOVER OF THE SIMPLE LIFE
Marquis Komura, Great Japanese
Statesman, Remarkable for Dis
like of Ostentatlon.

The late Marquis Komura was fa-
nous for his bohemian habits. He
had little thought for his personal
comfort. Not till the conclusion of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance did he
posses a residence of his own. But
when he was given a large sum of
money by the emperor after the
consummation of the alliance he had
a new residence built at Harama-
chi. Never once during the building
Of the house, nor for a long time
after it was built, did he visit his
new property. He lived exclusively
in the official residence, going to the
Imperial hotel for his meals.
One evening, however, he took a
long walk, in the course Of which he
IIfancied he would make a visit to his
new residence. He walked about
Haramachi in quest of his new house
but could not find it until he in
quired at a police box.-Yokohama

Washington Letter.
By T%avenner.

Are the standpatters in the
Senate going to chloroform the
tariff reduction bill that have
been passed by the Democratic
House at this SEES
sion of Congress2
The House passed the steel
tariff bin January 30, and it
emerged April 5, from the Sen
ate Finance committee, with an
adverse report. Nothing much
has been heard about it since.
On Feb. q, the House passed
the bill to revise the chemical
schedule. The next day this
bill was sent to the Senate FL
nance committee, and there is
still reposes. On March 10 the
House passed the excise income
tax law, which proposed to shift
a part Of the burden of govern
ment expense from the shoulders
of the poor onto those OF the
rich, and the Senate Finance
committee, to which that meas
IRE was reported, has taken no
action on it. The bill to remove
the tax on sugar, which would
relieve the common people OF
this nation of an annual bur
den of more than $10O,0OO,OOO a
year, passed the House along
with the excise income tax, and
it. too, rests in the Finance com
mittee, which is controlled by
she last remnants of the Senate
Old Guard. The Wool DILL

enactment of measures designed
to give the people relief from
the high cost of living.
Now comes the discovery that
Burdette D. Townsend, one Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's special trust in
yestigators, was assigned, in
1906, to investigate the harvester
trust, and that he reported that
it was a monopoly in restraint Of
Grade; that it was holding up
farmers; receiving rebates from
Che railroads, and that all the
plans for the organization Of the
crust had been drawn up and
executed by George w. Perkins.
This report was suppressed.
The public never heard of 1T.
It died by the chlorofoming pro
cess, in the office of the Attorney
General Of the United States,
with the a~cquiescence Of Mr..
Roosevelt. There is every IN
dication that Mr.. Roosevelt per-
sonally decreed the death Of this
report. 1t was Mr.. Roosevelts
direct order to his attorney gen
eral not to start suit against the
harvester trust, which resulted
in the suppression of the Town
send report, and the granting of
immunity from prosecution to
the harvester trust. While
Roosevelt was protecting the
harvester trust from prosecution
by the federal government, that
organization was being tried
I'd was found guilty in Missouri,
Oklahoma and other states,
whose legal machinery was not
under the domination Of Wall
street.
Here are some interesting ex-
tracts from the Townsend re-
port;
"The harvester trusts bust
ness has been increased until
To-day it controls 80 per cent Of
the total business, and thus a
single Institution has acquired a
monopoly. George w, Perkins
conducted the negotiations, and
devised and executed the plan
finally agreed upon. The Rookie
fellers and McCormicks own a
majority Of the capital stock.
"The most effective weapons
{ employed by the harvester trust
are of the invisible kind. 1t is
directly allied with that group Of
: Standard Oil and commercial
; aggregations commonly known as
/, the steel trust, the coal trust,
! the railroad trust, the banking
trust, etc. Rebates, prices Of
. raw material, e%xtention or re-
fusal Of banking credit, can all
BE manipulated with a discrimi
mating favor which is murderou'
to the competitors of the Inter
national Harvester company.
I This, then, is the kind Of in.
q formation Theodore Roosevelt
had on the harvester trust wheel

eral not to start suit against the
, trust without letting him know
I with the consequence that the
7 suit was never started.

MUCH ALFALFA IS
SHIPPED FROM BELEN
Wool Shipments This Year
Also Are Unusually
Heavy.

Belen. n. NJ. April 11.-During the
past few months more alfalfa has been
shipped from Belen than from any other
one point of the same size in the state
Of New Mexico. Much of the land un-
der cultivation in this section of the Rio
GTande valley Is given over to the raising
OF this crop, with the result that the
shipments this season have been larger
than ever before, more than 200 car
loads Of hay having been shipped from
the local yards.
Almost every day for the past six
months a carload has been shipped. and
on many DAYS several carloads have
gone out. The quality Is uniformly
good, and the markets which are being
created are permanent ones.
The alfalfa grown here has been sent
to almost every part of the United
states. Los Angeles and other California
points have received numerous ship
ments- Various points i'm Texas are be-
ing supplies with Belen hav and some
has gone as far east as Nashville. Tenn.
In addition to alfalfa. wool has zone
out in large quantities. as have also
pinyon nuts and other articles. thus
raising the total number of cars which
have been shipped from this point con-
slderably IN excess Of the $50 mark.
