TARIFF Bill PASSI$
The U. S. S.NATE:
HAS NARROW NkAJORITY-CON-
FERENCE WITH HOUSE
COMMITTEE.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The demo-
cratic tariff bill passed the senate
late Tuesday afternoon by the mar
row majority of seven votes. It was
a party measure from. first to last,
but Senators LaFollette and Poin-
dexter, republicans, voted with the
democrats, although the senators
from Louisiana voted against the
measure on account of sugar being
placed on the free list, which they
held would injuriously affect that
great industry of the south.
Many important changes were
made in the senate bill, however,
over the bill that came in the house.
There will be a conference of commit
tees to adjust these differences, which
will require some time. The vote in
the senate was "A to 81, the repub-
lican senator's, Clapp, Nelson. Nc
Cumber and Sterling voting nay, and
Senator Gronna absent but paired.
Senator Poindexter is quoted as say
ing that he thought the bill was bet
ter than the former bill, as it con-
tanned the income tax. The new tar
if sill includes free sugar and free
wool.
The senate's additions to the house
free list with 1912 as basis, cost
the government over forty-four mil
lion, but by adding a tax of one-tenth
Of one per cent per pound on cotton
sold for future delivery, the tax Of
one-tenth of one cent per pound on
bananas, and restoring the require
ment of the full internal revenue tax
of $1.1O per gallon on brandies used
to fortify wines, and by the increas-
ing sur-tax on large incomes, the SEN
ate leaders believe they have pro-
vided an actual increase.
The bill has been discussed since
April 7th, when 1t was introduced
,ssro the house. It passed the house
May Sth. and May 18th it was refer
red to the finance committee of the
senate. President Wilson issued q
statement in which he expressed q
warm admiration for Senators LaFol-
lette and Pomdexter.

IHAW FOUGHT DESPERATELY

the Boundary.

"S oOOuOAys
Coaticook. Que, Sept. 11.-Ac.
complishing a coup which came 50
suddenly all concerned were taken by
surprise, Harry Thaw was hastened
out of the railroad station detention
room here and despite his violent pro-
tests was rushed across the border to
Vermont.
Il am being Kidnapped" yelled
Thaw. This is outrageous. Won't
some one stop this outrage?"
Screaming his protests Thaw made
what little resistance he could, but
had no chance against the keepers.
immigration Inspector Robertson
states there was nothing illegal about
the proceedings.
1T was all regular" he said, and
at the time declined to explain fur
ther.
+. The action was taken on an order
of the minister of justice, acting for
the minister of the interior.
The immigration officers went to
Thaw's room at 8 o'clock and seized
him. He fought furiously as he real
lied that he was being taken by his
enemies. The guards had to subdue
him by superior strength, but Thaw
displayed the strength Of madman.
AS the struggle proceeded Thaw
seized a bottle from a table and
hurled it, crashing through window
of the detention Office. The officers
practically dragged him down the
stairway, as Thaw screamed at the
top of his voice, begged, pleaded and
threatened all to no avail.
Whiried Away to Boundary.
The prisoner was thrown into an
automobile, and before the startled
villagers knew what had happened
their hero had been whirled away to-
ward the International boundary. The
last words heard from Thaw were
cries Of:
"They are kidnapping me! Help!
Jerome is kidnapping me! Stop this
outrage!"
The detention room showed signs
of the most furious struggle The fur
niture was upset and the room was
in the widest disorder. Some of
Thaw's possessions were scattered
about the room. Shattered fragments
of broken furniture and glass were on
the floor.
G. B. Doherty, minister of justice.
who is acting minister of the interior
and thereby in charge of immigra-
ton, held that the action of the board
of inquiry last week ordering Thaw's
deportation was regular. Therefore,
despite the restraining order issued
by the kings bench at Montreal, the
minister gave orders to deport the
prisoner.
The time was we'll chosen, as Thaw
and his counsel had settled down
serenely to await trip to Montreal
to appear before the kings bench.
The village was unprepared and the
immigration officers met with no re-
sistance except the furious battle giy-
an by their prisoner.

Coos county, N. H., for three hours
after being thrust across the Canadian
border at Norton Mills, VT. and was
arrested by Sheriff Drew of Coos coun.
ty at Little Schoolhouse, five miles
from Colebrook.
Thaw made no resistance and was
brought Immediately to Colebrook.
In his wanderings he was accom-.
panied only by newspaper men. He
did not know where to 60. Leaving
Nortons Mills, Thaw stopped for
few minutes at Averill, VT. and leav.

entered Vermont at Canaan, then
crossed the Connecticut river at
Stewartstown. No one attempted to
detain him.
He was planning, when arrested, to
strike a railroad and buy through

STRUCK BY ENGINE
NEAR ELDRIDGE.
COUNTY TREASURER FORD AND
WM. GATES HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

A serious accident occurred to
County Treasurer Walter Ford and
VIM. Gates, both of this city, about
noon Saturday. They were driving
westward in an empty farm wagon,
along the N. P. main line about 8
miles east OF Eldridge, going to din
ner, having come from threshing.
The team belonged to Mr.. Gates and
was driven by him, and as the wag-
on turned to cross the track to the
north at railroad crossing a freight
train which had been unobserved up
to that time, was seen to be close
upon them. Walter Ford, it is re-
ported, desired to back the team from
the track instead of attempting to
go clear across. The team was back
ed up, and the wagon was backed of
the rails and down slight grade,
but not. before the engine of the
train had struck the horses, killing
one instantly and badly injuring the
other. This overturned the wagon
box, which fell on top Of Mr.. Ford,
and in falling it is supposed that he
put out his. left arm to save himself.
In doing so he received two bad
fractures Of the arm, one near the
wrist and the other near the elbow.
He also had two ribs dislocated, a
severe cut on the head, and is prob
ably injured internally. Mr.. Gates,
his companion, was less seriously
hurt, although severely bruised in
the leg and cut slightly on the head.
Word was sent to the city at once
and DR.. Gerrish went out to attend
the injured man, going by train, and
DR.. Guest followed soon after by
auto. Both victims of the accident
were brought to the city on No. 4,
the passenger train and were taken
to the City hospital where their in
juries were treated, but Mr.. Gates
was able to walk to his home, ia
Fourth avenue north. The train
that struck the team was local west
bound freight. Mrs. Ford and chill
dren were taken to the scene of the
accident by ]. E. Campbell in his
auto, who made quick run from the
city, covering the distance in IL min
utes.
Mr.. Ford was unconscious part OF
the time after the accident. Mr..
Gates is expected to be all right soon
although suffering from nervous
prostration at the close call. Both
men were deaf and this prevented
the hearing Of the approaching train.
Many friends of W. w. Ford, who
was hurt at railroad crossing near
Eldridge, Saturday last, will be glad
to learn that his condition is much
improved over Sunday, and that
while his injuries are considered seri-
GUS, he is now getting along all right
and as we'll as can be expected un-
der the circumstances. In addition
to severe fracture of the wrist in
two places, he sustained fractures
of the ribs on both sides. He is at
the City hospital and having the best
Of care.
His companion, VIM. Gates, was
but slightly hurt and it was not nee
essary for him to be taken to a hos
pital for treatment.

REDDy FOX MAKES A DIS.
COVENY.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Copyright. 1913. by j. q. Lloyd.l
Reddy Fox had boosted that he was
not afraid Of the unknown stranger
who had frightened Peter Rabbit 30.
and whose voice in the night had
brought the great fear to the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest. But
b~oaster is seldom very brave. Right
down deep in his heart Reddy was
afraid. What he was afraid Of he
didn't know. That IL one reason that
he is afraid. He is always afraid Of
things that. he doesn't know about.
Do you know, 1t is a pretty good plan
to be afraid of things you don't know
ABOUT. Old Granny Fox had taught
Reddy that.
If you are afraid Of things you
don't know about and Just keep away
from them they never will hurt you"
said wise old Granny Fox, and that is
one reason that Farmer Browns boy
had never been able to catch her in a
trap. But Granny vas too smart to.
boast that she wasn't afraid when she
was. while Reddy was forever bragg
ging OF how brave he was. when all
the time he was one Of the greatest
towards among all the little meadow
and forest people.
When he had first heard that
strange voice little cold chills had
chased each other up and down his
backbone. just as they had with near
ly all the others who had heard it.
and Reddy had not gone hunting that
night. But Reddy has a big appetite,
and a hungry stomach doesn't let one
think Of much else. So after a day or
two Reddy grew brave enough to go
hunting. Somehow he had a feeling
that It was safer to hunt during the
day than during the night. You see
1t was only after jolly, round. red Mr..

Sun had gone to bed behind the Pur-
pie Hills that the strange voice was
heard, and Reddy guessed that per-
haps the stranger slept during the day.
So Reddy started out very early in
the morning. stepping as softly as he
knew how, looking behind every bush
and tree, and with his sharp little ears
Every few feet he stopped and shifted
the wind very carefully. for Reddy's
nose can tell him Of things with his
yes do not see and his ears do not
hear. And all the time he was ready
to U at the first sign of danger. He
had left the Green Forest and was out
on the Green Meadows. hoping to
catch Danny Meadow Mouse. when
that sharp little s was tickled by
smell that Reddy knew. Reddy turn
ed and went in the direction from
which the Merry Little Breeze had
come. Just a few steps he ven and
then ne stopped and smiled.
"Um-m-m." said Reddy to himself:
that smells to me like chicken. 1t
certainly does smell like chicken"
Reddy moved forward In the direction
from which that delicious smell came.
smiled. Sniff. sniff. sniff! Yes, it GER
tainly was chicken. Reddy's mouth
watered. A few more steps. and
there, a little way in front Of him, ap-
parently hidden in a clump Of tall
grass and bushes, lay a %half-eaten
chicken. Reddy stopped short and sat
down. to look at 1t. Then he looked
all around 1t to see II there was any
n about. Then he walked clear
around it in a circle. but he was very
careful not to go toe near. Finally he
sat down again where he could smell
the chicken. His tongue hung out
with longing. and water dripped from
the corners Of his mouth. His stom-
ach said. ITO get it, but his head
said, Don't go any nearer; 1t may
be a sort Of a trap"
Then Reddy remembered one of the
sayings Of wise old Granny Fox:
When you are tempted very much
Just turn your back and go away;
Temptation, then, can not harm you.
But only those who choose to stay.
II hate to do it. but 1 guess it's the
best way" said Reddy Fox, and turn
ed his back on the chicken and trotted
away.
