GLASS MAKERS GIVE THEIR Side
OPPOSE PROPOSED CHANGES IN
THE TARIFF.
Don't Fix Prices-Will Cut Wages or
Suspend Business, Says Their
Representative.

Washington.-Talk of trusts OF do
mestic and foreign varieties, Of low
wages and women toilers in indus
tries abroad that enabled strong for
eign competition with American en-
terprises and of capitals great stake
N the tariff tinkering, enHvened the
bearing on the earthen y axe and glass
ware schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
law before the house committee on
ways and means.
1t was the first Of the two days Of
arguments on the second schedule OF
the existing law. A declaration Of
Chairman Underwood that he was
satisfied with the showing made Of
the keenly competitive conditions in
the pottery industry was accepted as
an assurance VI an undisturbed pot
terry tariff.
All representatives Of the different
window glass companies were present.
Running through most Of the testi.
M my were references to trusts abroad
in various lines Of endeavor, a con.
slant specter that stalked on the Gus.
toms border lines, threatening to in
wade this country IL the tariff bars
we're let down.
Former Governor William A. Stone
OF Pennsylvania insisted that the Ma
tiona Window Glass Association de-
pended in its price making solely upon
the law Of supply and demand and
that If the tariff on window glass was
reduced, the loss to the association
would be met either by reduction OF
the workingmen's wages or by sus-
pension of factories.
He said there were 80 window glass
factories, constituting a distinctive
class, that did not have today enough
profit to Justify single sale at less
than the current prices. He said there
was an attempt about five years ago
to regulate prices among the window
glass companies when the government
stepped in and successfully prose-
cuted and there had been no attempt
In that direction since.
Joseph Auerbach, a lifelong Demo
crat, speaking for plate glass and
other manufacturers suggested that
"the tariff way should be a toll road
and not a highway where highwaymen
may ply their trade
Mr.. Auerbach charged that the
counterpart abroad OF more than one
American industry is controlled In
manufacture, output, management and
distribution by q dictatorial legalized
commission or trust whose unlawful
existence here would be enjoned and
It's promoters indicted and convicted.
He urged that the committee consider
what would be the lower and real cost
Of the output II the foreign factories
were permitted to run freely and not
held in the strangle grip Of the trust.
and as they would be run II you open
the foodgates of cut-throat, ruinous
and unlawful competition upon home
manufacture"

SUITS BASED ON DEATHS
Damages Aggregating $780,
600 Asked Owing to Chevy
Chase Lake Tragedy.

Suits based on the drowning of Norman
p. Locke and Marguerite Kaufman in
Chevy Chase lake last winter We're insti-
tuted against the Capital Traction Com
any and the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany today to recover in the aggregate
$4,000 damages.
Actions were instituted by Louisa X.
Locke administrators Of the estate of her
deceased son, Norman P. Locke and
C1oyd E. Kaufman, administrator Of the
estate Of his deceased daughter. Mar
guerite Kaufman.
In the declaration filed by Attorneys
Wilton J. Lambert and r. III. YeatmAn.
it is alleged that the Chevy Chase Land
Company Is the owner of Chevy Chase
lake, and the traction company invited
its patrons to go there for recreation and
amusement, and that on the occasion
mentioned the two children went to the
lake for the purpose of skating, and
while skating about were precipitated into
a large hole in the ice on the side of the
lake where the power house is located,
and as a result We're drowned
1t is alleged that the companies were
negligent in discharging hot water and
steam into the lake at that point, weak
ening the ice, and at times preventing it
from freezing, and that no warning or
notice Of such dangerous condition was
given by the defendants.

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
State Department Optimistic
Over Improvement Along
Mexican Border.

For the first time in months the State
Department has taken q very optimistic
view Of the conditions along the Mexican
border. Now, upon the basis Of reports
from many sources. it is announced by
the department that not only are those
conditions improving. but that. owing to
the more than usual vigilance of the fed
eral army the prospects for a period of
safety and protection are better than for
many months past in the state of Chihua-
hua. The last remnant of the rebel army
is reported now to be retreating to the
westward from Chihuahua into the ad-
joining state of Sonora
Reports received today from Consul
General Canada at Vera Cruz indicate
the existence of normal conditions in that
neighborhood It is believed that a con-
trary impression, which seems to exist
in certain quarters, is based upon belated
reports from Vera Cruz of the activities
of the small remnant of the unsuccessful
rebellion under Gen. Diaz, which long
since have ceased.
The only spot Of threatened trouble is
at San Luis Potosi. where it is feared
that the railroad shop strike may assume
serious proportions. though as yet there
has been no violence.

FIREBUGS COSTLY.
New York Commissioner Estimates
Losses $4,000, 900 a Year.

NEW YORK. January 4.-FTrebugs are
costing New York city $4.O00,OoO a year.
according to Fire Commissioner Joseph
Johnson, who opened an unusual ex-
hibit to illustrate that arson is a
rampant crime in the city, due, it Is
alleged, to the ease with which valueless
property can be heavily insured.
Among the exhibits is series Of Id
insurance policies totaling $121.JO in
srrance which Commissioner Johnson
says agents secured on property valued
at only 1896. Underwriters answered
this sensational showing with the decla-
ration that each new policy rendered all
previous ones void and that $50 could not
have been collected. The commissioned
commended that whether or not this was
so, insurance companies in this country
were woefully lax in their Investigations
before issuing policies. as compared with
the care exercised in Europe. He de-
clared that one-fourth OF all the fires that
occur In New York city were due to in

Imperial zinc mine near here late yes

The three men had prepared fifty-five
charges of dynamite in the mine and
signaled for the holster man to draw
them to the surface. A small piece in
the machinery had slipped from its
position, and the hoist failed to work.
Before another hoist could be placed in
use the dynamite exploded, bringing an
avalanche of debris upon the men.

FIVE KILLED BY TRAIN.
Two Others Probably Fatally Hurt
When Carriage Is Struck.

DENNISON, Iowa, January 4.-Five
persons We're killed and two probably
fatally injured when a Chicago and
Northwestern train struck carriage one
mile from here shortly before midnight
last night. The dead are John Evars and
his six-year-old son, John Reimers. his
wife and five-month- old baby.
The injured-John Reimers, aged six.
and Minnie Reimers. aged fourteen-were
taken to a local hospital, where, it is
stated, neither can recover.
A sharp curve at point just east of
the crossing made it impossible for the
engineer to see the carriage until it was
too late to stop, and it is thought the
noise of the vehicle made it impossible
for the driver to hear the train ap-
preaching.
