FLANKED The ENEMY.
SIMMONS COLLARS REPUBLICAN
TARIFF ANALYSIS.
Some Points From e.. O. Il. Document
May be Used to Advantage by
Democrats.

Washington, July S.-ScnatOr Sim.
mons, chairman Of the finance com
mitee, turned q trick on Republican
leaders today when he got his hands
on lengthy analysis of the Demo-
cratic tariff bill which had been pre-
pared under direction of Senator
Smoot, pointing out what the Repub-
licans claim are serious defects in the
measure
Senator SmOOt had delayed for a
month the Introduction of the analv-
sis, despite insistence Of Senator Sim
mons that it be printed. ON the last
day of the caucus, when the Republ-
cans were assured the Democrats
We're thorugh with the bill, Senator
Smo0t consented to send the docu-
ment in to the printer. But the
Democrats have not yet printed their
bill and have n day or two to make
corrections and laugh at their OBJ
ponents, inasmuch as debate will not
begin until next week.
Knowing that the Republican docu-
ment might contain valuable pointers.
Senators Simmons directed the
finance subcommittees to go over
their schedules today while he pour
ed over the SmOot analysis 20 check
up with the Subcommittee tomorrow.
Senator Simmons heard some weeks
ago that Republic IN leaders had eau
toned Senator Sn'oot to hold back
the analysis. Don't send it in yet"
they urged. 1T will give us away"
Then the finance commitl 90 chairman
determined to lay in wait. for the
document, and today pounced it be-
fore it went to the printing office. He
found the result of Senator Shoots
careful labors Of a month, aided by
n corps of experts and assistants
He said. some parts Of the analysis
point out errors that could he cor
rected, but that much of the docu-
ment was found to be argument.
The bill probably will not go to the
printer until tomorrow night, as the
subcOmmttees still are checking up
FOR corrections. Meanwhile Senator
Simmons is completing the commit
tee report on the measure.

Washington, July 7.-Forty-seven
Democratic senator's stood up in the
party caucus one by one late today
and declared their intention to vote

vision bill as finally approved by the

senators-Ransdell and Thornton of
contaminated that they would not
make such promises because of the
proposal to place sugar on the free
list i'm 1916. Senators Hitchcock of
Nebraska and Culbcrson of Texas
were absent, but both are known to
be in favor of the bill. This gives
the Democrats 49 votes for the bill
or slender majority Of one, with
the vote of tho vice president to
fall back on i'm an emergency
An absolute binding resolution was
not adoptedI the pol by individuals
being substituted, and that poll was
but only on the ground of personal
promise and was not made binding
resolution was adopted, however,
declaring the Underwood Simmons
bill party measure, and urging its
undivided support without amend
ment unless such should be sbmit-
ted by the committee. Senator New
lands Of Nevada cast the only vote
against this resoltion but Senators
Shafroth of Colorado, Ransdcn and
Thornton did not vote.

MURDER IN PICKEhS.
WILL DOBSON KILLS FATHER
NEAR PENDLETON.
Young Boy Wounded Perhaps Fatal
ly by Bullet From Victims Pistol.

Anderson, July S.-John Dobson, a
white farmer living on the Pelzer
plantation near Pendleton, in Pick
ems county, was shot and killed late
last night by his 16-year- old son, viii
DobsOn. A younger son was desper-
ately wounded by a bullet from the
pistol of the elder Dobson, who re-
turned the fire of Will Dobson. The
younger DObsOn is in the local hos
pital and is in q critical condition,
following an operation performed by
DR.. j. c. Harris. Will Dobson has
been lodged in Jail at Pickens.
The tragedy occurred at the home
Of John Dobson. He had been over
bearing in his manner toward his
wife and there had been q family
quarrel sunday DobsOn went to
Pendleton on Monday and on his re-
turn resumed quarreling with his
wife. She sent To the field for her
elder son, and when he came to the
house the attitude Of the father and
son became belligerent. Some say
that the first shot was fred by John
time.
There was an exchange of shots,
ea1n Of the principals being armed
with a .3S calibre pistol, and John
Dobson was struck by four of the five
shots fired by the son.
The younger son, Roy Barton Dob
son, aged Is years, was in the house
with his mother when he was wound
ed by shot from his fathers pistol
The father fell desperately wound
ed and several physicians who were
quickly summoned saw that there
was no chance to save his life. He
died at o'clock this morning.
There was some chance for the
boys life and he was hurried to the
Anderson hospital. The operation
developed that the ball had broken a
rib on the left side and had plowed
its way through the child's body,
puncturing the colon in three places
and otherwise causing u dangerous
wound before leaving the body. The
little fellow was cut almost in two in
the efforts of the surgeon to perform
an operation that would save his life.
The perforatiOn of the intestines
would cause death in an older and
less healthy person, but there is said
to be a fighting chance for recovery
as he is in fine health.
The trouble, it is said, began when
John Dobson mortgaged some land
to buy an automobile, but as to that
no particulars can be learned here
The homicide occurred in Pickens
county and Will Dobson surrendered
to the authorities of that county
The elder Dobson was Il well TO do
and prosperous farmer, owning
home and good farm two miles east
of Central. He was buried near his
home. He leaves a wife. and IL chill

epistol fight this venng in the mos,
crowded portion of the Prado. Gen.
ErnestO Asbert, the governor Of la
bana province; Senator Vidal Morales
and Representative Arias were IN
volved in the lighting, which was the
outcome of raid made by Gen. Riva
when a large number OF members
were caught gambling. They were ar
rested and sentenced to pay a heavy
fine
Gov. Asbert complained to President
MenOcal, who, it is understood, sus-
tained the action of the police. Gen.
Riva, while driving this evening with
his two young sons, stopped his car
riage in front of the Asbert club, and
caused the arrest Of the doorkeeper
for illegally carrying a revolver. AS
bert Morales and Airas arrived in an
automobile about the same time and
heated dispute arose. Insults were
exchanged, and all alighted, advanc.
ing i'm threatening manner.
According to the stories OF wit
nesses, Asbert and Morales opened
fire, Gen. Riva falling with a bullet
in his head and another in his abdo-
men. Seeing their chief fall, several
policeman ran to the rescue and
opened fire, but Asbert and his friends
recntered their car and departed at

three times and two bystanders receiv-
ed bullets. The Prado was crowded
with promenaders, including many
women and children.

where he made n statement that he
was shot by Gov. Asbert. An bpera-
ton was then performed, but hesis not
expected to survive. A warrant has
been issued for the arrest of Asbert
and his companions. The tragedy
has caused the most intense excite
ment throughout the city. All polit-
zeal clubs were ordered closed. Cen

During the early hours of today

for Savings, another Kuhn institution,
because of the climax i'm the affairs
Of the First-Second National. All de-
mands up to $50. were paid without
question and notices for large amounts
were asked, running so. co, and 80
days according to the amount de-
manded by the depositors. This in
stitution also made the statement that
ii had $5,O00.000 i'm cash and quick
assets and was prepared for any cmer-

closing of banking hours and it is not
believed that any anxiety over this in
stitution need be felt.
The former First National bank,
which was accredited as one of the
strongest banks i'm the country, was
merged wiz the Second National

1t is exceptional for the Navy De-
partment to send a contract abroad, but
Acting Secretary Roosevelt held that
the action to-day was justified by tho
tremendous difference between English
and American prices. The Sheffield

by giving the work to the foreign
builder the United States saves more

only other domestic concern equipped
to build the drums, did not bid
