ting her teeth and hanging on 1of
dear life when Mr.. Gregg appeared
Did Mr.. Gregg, with lot Of damp
garments pressed to his beating heart,
stop and introduce himself to Miss
Minnie Rivers, hanging on to the
swaying lines with both hands and
feeling that all was lost? He didn't,
He threw etiquette and the conven-
tionalities to the dogs. and brought
his legal lore to bear on the main
issue.
He saw at once that the lines were
stretched across the path OF the gale
In FIVE minutes he had united them
from the posts and stretched them
the other way, and there was a de-
cided cession OF the tlappety-flap.
Then he ran here and there TO gather
up the estrays, which must go back
to the rinsing tub. He had only ac-
complshed this when he noticed
smoke pouring from the open kitchen
door. He entered to f1nd that the
cook had left the hampers so as TO
make smoke house Of the place, but
twist of the wrist made things all
right. College teaches nothing about
stove hampers. That Is a thing to
be learned by red.eyed experience.
AS he stepped out doors again an
old hen and half dozen chickens
emerged from the coop to take a
saunter. The gale caught them up
and away they went, but Mr.. Gregg
was after them and they were
brought back in good shape and with
gentle hand. Then he frightened one
of the lines a little more, Tefastened
sheet that wanted to be a star
spangled banner, and with a careful
look at the chimney OF the house be
lifted his hat and resumed his jour-
ney.
Miss Minnie was looking after him
when the mother appeared at the
back door and said:
MY headache is little better
What's happened?"
"Why, It's blowing a gale, and lol
of the clothes blew off the line.
And who was that young man.
why. he blew along in with the
gale and helped me"
college doesn't teach it just that
way. The girls pick 1t up after they
have graduated. To blow along
means 10 arrive In a hurry-to ar
rive in gale--to arrive just In
time TO be of assistance to a damsel
in distress.)
did he fix those lincs?" asked the
mother.
yes"
And pick up all those things'"
Yes"
And what did you do?"
II just hung on and grinned.
Minnie Rivers, how could you do
It, | didn't get fair sight Of him.
but I'm almost sure that is Arthur
Gregg, only son and heir of the
widow Gregg. Why-why. whatll he
think Of youo What'll his proud
mother say? don't believe you even
thanked him!"
Il know ! didn't" was the reply
~ was hanging on to that damasK
tabiccloih with all my might!
And you arc most twenty years
old. and your father and | were hop
ing"
And then the gale blew the mother
in and no more was said.
Three days later. when the winds
roared no more. and there was no
more flappcty-hap along the clothes
lines. Miss Minnie and MIR. Gregg sat
in the parlor and talked and laughed
and jokcd like good friends. And
that evening the wife whispered TO
the husband:
Wouldn't It be funny ii Cupid had
planned it out?"
Cant tell about Cupid was the
answer. but you'd better hustle for
another cook if you expect ne home
every night

EXCISE BILL TO BE PUT
THROUGH BY COMBINATION

Democratic leaders believe they will
be able, with the aid of the progress
sives, to pass compromise sugar
tariff bill, probably that by Senator
Bristow, taking at least forty or fifty
cents per 100 pounds off the present
duty of $1.9O on sugar.
Senator Smith of Georgia. making
the opening speech for the bill, said
he favored an income tax but could
not agree to substitute an income tax
for the measure the house has pas
sed.
Senator Borah, who had introduced
al. income tax bill. asked for is read
ing but not immediate consideration.
He indicated he would offer it as an
amendment to the house bill later.
The democratic senators passed a
resolution at their caucus saying
that while favoring an income tax,
they realized that with the pending
amendment to the constitution az
thorized, such tax now requiring
the favorable vote of only two states,
il was preferable to support the bill
for an excise tax, which, with the en-
isting corporation tax would raise
approximately an equivalent amount
of revenue.

SULZER WANTS
a WARShlP

Washington, D. c., Jlly 26.-Chair-
on foreign affairs, has written Chair
man Burleson, of the house demo-
cratic caucus declaring his intention
to vote for a battleship program re-
gardless of the caucus which declar-
ed for no ships this year.
q told Mr.. Burleson that whenever
my vote is directed by patriotic mo-
tives l will not be bolnd by scant
majority in the caucus" said Mr..
Sulzer today.
Mr.. Sulzer has declared 25 or 80
democrats who participated in the
last caucus were ready to vote for
one or more battleships.
IF enough republicans support the
senate program We can pass it
through the house." said Mr.. Sulzer.
He is now circulating a petition for
another caucus.
The caucus endorsed in general
terms, sugar bil> which Senator
Williams later presented to the SEN
ate as substitute to be voted on to-
morrow. 1t would make a reduction
of 33 1-3 per cent on refined and I'M
refined sugar, a reduction of 40 per
cent on molasses and abolish the
Dutch standard test and the differen-
tials in duty now existing.

Washington, D. c., July 26.-Demo-
cratic senators in caucus today de-
termined to support the house excise
tax bill, virtually levying an income
tax on all persons and co-partner-
ships doing business of more than
$4,000 a year and to reject the Borah
income tax bill offered as an amend
ment. There was some opposition to
his course.
Republican leaders were puzzled to
estimate how far the new alliance be-
tween the democrats and progressives
would go in the action on the excise
tax bill, to be voted on today and
the democratic free sugar bill tomor-
row.
The income tax has many support
ers in the caucus, among democrats
who did not want to be compelled to
vote against a principle they endors-
ed. In the hope, however, that the
progressives again could be held in
line and the excise bill passed, it was
decided to vote against amendments.
Of greater significance, however,
was a tentative understanding reach
ed as to the course to be pursued in
the sugar tariff fight.

DELEGATES CHOSEN:
EARNEST SPEECHES
DELIVERED

The delegates who are to attend the
progressive convention at AlbuQuer-
cue July 90, representing the county
of Santa Fe were changed to a slight
extent at the late session of the meet
ing held here yesterday The dele
gates who will go are as follows: NJ.
A. Otero, Bronson NJ Cutting Uturdo
Borrego, G. W. Pritchard, Nicolas
Montoya, Fritz Muller, ]. NJ. Gonzales.
Charles Syringe.
The meeting, called to order after
the recess, was well attended and the
interest manifested was great.
The meeting did not take up the
matter of appointment of committees
for county or precinct, deeming it wise
to leave that for the county conven-
ton to be held later.
During the meeting Herculano Mar
t;nez Of Rio Arriba, and prominent
democrat in that county delivered a
very interesting speech on the policy
of the progressive party. Mr.. Mar
tinez is doing some earnest work in
Rio Arriba and declares that the move
ment is growing rapidly.
He was followed by Urtodo Borre-
go, who spoke with much earnestness,
by Governor Otero and others.

MURDERERS OF GAMBLER
CANNOT ESCAPE FROM
OFFICIAL DRAG NET.
Smashed the Alibis of Black Jack
Rose and Other Notorious Crooks.

New York, July 26-The solution
Of the intricate plot that brought the
gambler, Herman Rosenthal, to his
death that he might not tell more
secrets of the relations between the
police and gamblers, is near at hand.
That is the belief today of Deputy
Police Commissioner Dougherty who
prepared to give the third degree'
to Frank Cirofici who, the commits
sioner says is "Dago Frank" one of
the slayers of Rosenthal.
The confession of William Shapiro,
the chauffeur of the murder car"
has supplied Commissioner Dougherty
and District Attorney Whitman with
many missing pieces of evidence.
Commenting on the progress made,
Mr.. Whitman said: 81 am certain now
that every man that had part in the
slaughter of Herman Rosenthal will
be brought to justice"
The public prosecutor says he has
smashed the alibis of BLACK Jack"
Rose, of Bridgie Weber and of Harry
Vallon.
Lieutenant Costiguon, in the pres.
ence of Police Commissioner Waldo
publicly denied he had made state
ments to the grand jury that gamb-
ling houses could not remain open
without police protection and that the
gambling squad only took orders from
Commissioner Waldo.

EMPEROR OF JAPAN IS
MUCH WORSE
CRISIS HAS BEEN REACHED AND INTENSE
SUSPENSE EXISTS IN CAPITAL CITY
WHERE PEOPLE AWAIT NEWS OF HIS
CONDITION.

Toxic, July 26.-The suspense in
the capital has been intense since the
regular bulletin issued at noon show
ed that the condition of the Japanese
emperor had become worse. A bulle-
tin issued at 5 o'clock in the evening
contained merely the words, NO
change and this only served to in-
crease the feeling of anxiety.
1t is plainly evident that his majes-
tvs condition is extremely grave and
that the physicians are doing their ut
most to sustain the remaining feeble
spark of life.
At 10 o'clock today the great park
outside the entrances to the palace
grounds presented a remarkable
scene. Thousands of people were
gathered under the dwarf pine trees,
many praying and all showing sorrow
full anxiety.
Among the upper branches of the
magnificent pine trees surrounding
the palace, high above the outer park,
paper lanterns, showing a recognition
OF the homage of the multitude, occa-
sionally swung as if showing that the
vital spark still fingered and convey
ing message of hope to the people.
st. Petersburg, July 26.-The aggra-
vation of the condition of health Of

BRINGS ABOUT REMARKABLE SITUATION WHEREBY AGREEMENT CAN
Be REACHED WITH THE HOUSE ON Big REDUCTION IN TARIFF PLANK
ON FLEECE
CONCLUSIONS OF TARIFF BOARD ARE
BASIS FOR REDUCTION THIS time

wool wastes at 80 per cent; combed
wool at 80 per cent; yarn at So per
cent; ready made clohting at 40 per
cent.
1t will depend largely on the char
acter of the conference committee,
named by the senate, whether a COM
promise similar to that will be quick
ly effected. Last FEAR republican
leaders refused to have anything fur
ther to do with the bill after it pas
sed the senate; named Senators La
Toilette, republican, and Bailey and
Simmons, democrats, as the conferees
to act with Representative Under
wood, Ransdell and Harrison.
Should the republican senate lead
ers determine to hold control of the
conference this time by naming two
regular republicans and one democrat,
the perfection of wool bill in con-
ference might be delayed.
Chairman Underwood also sees a
chance for the cotton revision at this
session of congress.
Il an going to call the ways and
means committees to consider the ad-
visibility of calling up our cotton
BILL" he said
Now that the Senate has shown
a disposition to enact some legisla-
ton giving the people tariff relief, we
might as well take up cotton.
When the LaFollette wool bill
reached the house today, majority
leader Underwood demanded that it
be sent to conference and the senate
amendment be disagreed to. Repre-.
sentative Payne of New York, republi
can, objected Accordingly the nam
ing of the conferees was put over
until tomorrow

The writ Of habeas corpus upon
which Thaw retained his temporary
release from the Matteawan state hos
pital is dismissed and the court Or

still is insane and will remain in the
asylum where he was placed on Feb

that Thaw's release would be danger

Thaw now is sane and the question OF
his present sanity or insanity was

counsel,
