ROBBED OF $17 IN CASH
AND SILVER MESH PURSE
Unidentified Colored Man Grabs
Property Belonging to Mrs. Abra-
ham G. Bobys and Escapes.

Mrs. Abraham c. Bobys. 1910 9th street
northwest. was robbed last night about
8 o'clock by colored pocketbook snatch
er. II was the first depreciation of its
kind reported to the police for many
weeks. the heavy sentences gwen by the
court upon conviction apparently having
dampened the ardor of crooks of this
class.
When Mrs. Bobys appeared at the sec
ond precinct police station she was so
excited that it was with difficulty she
was able to tell her story. She was on
. street northwest between 9th and 18th
streets. she said when she was robbed
of her silver mesh purse containing SIT.
Awaited Opportunity.
When Mrs. Bobys left home she was
accompanied by her little son. She took
with her a $50 BIZ. purchased several
articles and started home with the
change, SIT. in her purse. 1t is thought
that the negro followed her from Tth
street and committed the robbery when
he saw the opportunity to make good his
escape through nearby alleys.
Mrs Bobys was so completely sur
nrised when the negro grabbed her purse
that she scarcely realized what had hap
nened until the robber had disappeared.
She gave the police fairly good descrip-
tion of the robber. He is about twenty
Years old. she stated, and wore light
suit of clothes and black slouch hat.

A buoy was anchored at the place where
the accident occurred and after waiting
an hour the squadron steamed to Cher

stroyer. Later the strong current dragged

although oil on the water and the cruisers

opinion of Admiral Marbles salvage Of

REPORT BY COMMITTEE
ON METAL TARIFF BILL
House Receives Conclusions
on Amendments Proposed
by the Senate.

The House ways and means commit
tee has reported back to the Hous,
the metal tariff revision bill. agreeing
to the Senate amendments on the pig
iron and chromium schedules, but re-
fusing to agree to the amendments
which would repeal the Canadian reci-
procity treaty. and would fix the duty
on print paper at 81 a ton.
The report Of the committee declared
that the amendment repeating tho
Canadian reciprocity pact was a
political subterfuge designed to defeat
passage of the BILL
Amendments by Schedule.
1T is the opinion of the democrats.
the report continues, that the tariff
should be amended schedule by schedule.
with which President Taft seems TO bs
in full accord. Because of the great inn
portance of the reciprocity proposition IL
should be separately and distinctly con-
sidered, and not confused with a sched-
ue of the tariff act. with which IL has not
the slightest connection. 1t Is not ger
name to the metal schedule and is at
tached to prevent passage of the biil-a
political subterfuge TO maintain protective
conditions"

Rarely in the history OF Washing
ton has there been a parade to equal
that which passed the reviewing stand
on the Union station plaza yesterday
afternoon. following the unveiling of
the Columbus memorial statue. II was
unique for several reasons one being
that it was tho first large procession,
other than a funeral procession. that
ever marched through the city in an
easterly direction. Beginning practi-
cally at Washington Circle, where the
large parades usually disband, the line
of march extended eastward along
Pennsylvania avenue and then still
farther eastward along Massachusetts
avenue to StElfon Square, the form
ing place of many inaugural parades.
Inasmuch as no attempt was made to
register the arrival of the visiting
knights. il is almost impossible to esti-
mate the number of men in line. The
headquarters Of the Knights OF Columbus
announced several days ago that prob
ably more than 5oec0 men would march
along the Avenue. and 1t is believed that
the turnout yesterday may have reached
that number

Bemidji today has reached that
crisis, which is believed to be the
turning point toward lower fire in
surance rates for it's homes and busi-
ness places. Enthusiasm is bubbling
over everywhere. "Down with the
rates-show us what to do to lower
them," is the cry. The pages of this
issue are filled to over flowing with
that cooperative spirit that is bound
to bring results. Every advertiser
in this issue rings out with such an
appeal.

paper for the purpose of more strong

There are some things which must be
observed by those, who succeed In
what 10 called the dry sections, writes
O.. G. Gregg In the Deseret Farmer.
First, do not invest all of your cap.

adjoining lands and SO leavetiyourself

money. to aid in doing the things which
must be done in order to. make that
land sustain expenses and family liv.

which you have acquired 80 a. to oh.
tain from it as SOON as possible 4
measure of crop that; viii help II 1t
does1 not fully sustain tho expense OF
tho family for the first year or 50.
Third, one of the greatest aids. for
tho sustaining of the homo will be
found in q reasonable amount Of
stock which should be obtained very
soon and 10 help pay the running e1,
penses. Let this stock comprises Z 8few
good COWS. Do not forget tho poultry
and ,add~to thssa two classes ok- stock
one or more good brood sows. Fourth,
without incurring too much expense
proper shelter can be made for this
stock There will need to be little
fencing. This is more readily obtain

Fifth, mako every effort that IL need
full to keap this stock we'll. ThsErsNs'
nue from them will enable one. to- live
upon the, land without incurring debts
which may seriously handicap further
efforts. Sixth, use what implements
are necessary to do tho work upon the
land which is open. DO not, however
open more land than you can proper
lyl cultivate. Seventh, lot the increas'
ID acreage be made gradually. It II
better to thoroughly goultivata a small
number of acres rather than to have
much land that can not be fully titled
and that will probably call upon the
settler to furnish expensive imple
ments which will in turn make trou
blesome debts. Eighth, begin quite
carly to plant about the buildings the
beginning of shelter belts. The trees
should be 30 set as to aid the comfort
OF the home and make one of the best
conditions for the continued effort
TO make that new piece OF land to bl
