patiently at the mines mouth, no word

officials since the explosion Wednes-

The Office is surrounded by special
officers, state constables and railroad
policemen who keep the watchers out
side a roped enclosure. while insults
are frequently hurled at the men and
women, who unable to restrain their

BURN RUBBISH SAYS
BOARDS PRESIDENT

Unless citizens Of Richmond burn
combustible rubbish. some means Of
compelling them to do this win be I'm
troduced. according to b. A. Kennepohl
president of the board of works.
Paper. and light combustible rubbish
of all kinds 1itters up the streets and
yards all over the city. especially in
this time of the year when the wind
carries the rubbish from the trash
piles in the alleys, he says.
Many complaints have been made to
Street Commissioner Gem and Mr.
Kennepohl about the amount of paper
flying about the streets and in the
yards. investigations have proved in
many cases that the complaintants
were the persons who threw the rub
bish in the alleys, the wind bringing
1t to the front yards and on the
streets.
Complaints have come from resi-
dents of Northwest First street. where
a large amount of light rubbish blows
from the West Richmond dump onto
the street Street Commissioner Gem
stated that the cost of hauling COM
bustible rubbish which could be burn
ed. almost doubles the expense OF
keeping the streets and alleys Of tho
city clean

Reading Clerk Reads a List
of Questions and ]. Hamp-
ton Moore, Republican,
Gives the Answers.
NO PRECEDENT FOR
UNIQUE SPECTACLE
Moore Said Wilson Made
Country Take Notice By
Reading Message and He
Followed the Example.
tNational News Association,

(Natfonal News Associatfon)
WASHINGTON, April 25.-With
the aid of the reading clerk Congress-
man J. Hampton Moore, Pennsyl-
vania Republican congressman, found
a new way to deliver tariff speech
in the house today. Mr.. Moore con-
Quoted "a tariff "catechisfn" by having
the house clerk read questions which
the member had prepared in advance,
and which were then answered by
Moore from the floor.
The "catechism" began when the
clerk asked, when was the first
tariff act passed?"
Rep Moore answered that the first
tariff bill was passed in 1879 and was
regarded as an American declaration
of commercial independence.
The next questions answered then
took tariff legislation step by step up
to the Underwood bill, which was
roasted" by Mr.. Moore in his
answers. Mr. Moore termed his
speech "tariff primer" and the
spectacle presented when the clerk
began to fire questions at Mr.. Moore
precedent in the house.
Rep. Moore explained that he took
this unusual method OF speech MAX
ing following the stop, look and
listen example of President Wilson,
who a few days ago addressed the
house on the tariff fssne. The presi-
dents act, said Mr. Moore. caused
the country to sit up and take notice.
and ask about the; tariff and for the
good Of the unfnitiated. Moore said
he desired the clerk to ask certain
questions which he would answer.
Rep. Moore's answers to the ques-
tions propounded were critical
throughout of the Democratic tariff
bill and served as a unique defense
of the present law.
Samples Of Questions.
Some samples of questions and
answers were:
why was the Payne bill passed 2"
Because the Democrats were mis-
representing the tariff question"
Did the Payne bill revise the
tariff downward" ?"
1T did, and equalized many du-
ties"
IF the people enjoyed such wonder
full progress under the Payne law,
why did they complaint"
"They listened to Americas polite
ians, agitators without conscience,
journalistic Morgons with axes to
grind, magazines seeking pap, essa-
tests who found it more profitable to
write friction than to work, theoret-
ical college professors, non-producers
and few sincere reformers, usually
misinformed and frequently mislead."
The clerk read of question asking
Moore what was meant by the Wilson
Underwood bill.
s.The bill introduced by Chairman
Underwood, exponent in the house of
the theories of President Wilson," he
replied.
The industries of the country, Mr..
Moore declared. had thrived both
under the Dingley and Payne laws,
but many OF them would be wrecked
under the Underwood bill.

The following ode, entitled Life
Death" is by Mrs. James A. Cooper:
We are but slaves. and thou despotic Life
Our Master. manacled and closely bound
By thee to keep the dull, insensate round
OF years-with rocks and shoals and sorrovs rife
We toll and wait the ending Of the strife;
Ave work and watch with half abated breath
And souls agog, the slow approach Of Death.
To cut our letters with his subtle knife.
And yet dread TO Join the spirit band
And start and tremble at Deaths secret way:
We long not Cor the free, the sunny land,
Nor wish to leave cold Lfe's tyrannic sway,
Why should fear the iberators hand
While Life is but as night while Death is day!
