EIgin Authorities Believe Her.
man Coppes Had an Ac-
compIice in Crime.

ELGlN, H., April 21.-Herman Coppes
Charles Refornatory, who confessed yes
terday to the murder of Mrs. Maud Sleep
and her two children, vas held to the
grand jury by the coroner's jury.
The apparent absence of any motive
for the crimes has led the authorities to
believe that he may have been induced to
kill Mrs. Sleep and her children by an
other
Sheriff Charles McBriarty and Assistant
States Attorney Phillips began a new
investigation today which indicates that
a relative of the victims may have been
implicated in the murders. Several clues
which point to the possibility that this
relative may have induced the boy to
commit the crime for monetary consid-
GRAFTON are in the possession of the
authorities.
Coppes. who is a prisoner in the county
Jail at Geneva. awaiting action by the
grand jury, maintained the same atti-
tude as he did yesterday when he con-
feSsed to the crime in detail. Appar-
emily he does not realize the enormity of
his act.
Coppes confessed that he was the
slayer of Mrs. NANNY Sleep and her two
small children, whose bodies We're found
Saturday in ciStern under the kitchen
of the Sleep farmhouse, five miles west
Of Elgin.
Coppes says the killing resulted from
Mrs. Sleep saying she would see about
it, when he had refused in ill humor
to do one Of his accustomed chores after
school.

But Attendants Shield Him
From Every Exertion.

ROME, April 2l.-Pope Plus y contin-

A brief bulletin to this effect was issued
by Drs Marchiafava and Amici at the

satisfactory that there would be no fur
ther bulletins published as to his health.

from coughing.
Sits in an Armchair.
As the day was sunny, the ponun was
allowed to rise and sit in an armchair i'll
front Of the closed window. For the first
time since his last relapse the Pope was
able to look into the Piazza di San Pietro,
which was alive With people. When he
saw that a large number Of flags We're
flying he asked the reason and was in
formed that today was the anniversary
of the foundation Of Rome, 2G63 years
ago.
The physicians and attendants of the
Pope are taking the greatest precautions
to prevent him from making any eXer-
ton just now, as any activity on his
part is still regarded as dangerous.

Declares There Is No Excuse
for Radical Changes in Rev.
enue System.

There is no excuse for the radical
change in our revenue system proposed
by the democratic BILL declares the mi
nority report on the Underwood tariff BILL
presented 10 the House today, and signed
hy Representatives Payne. Fordney. Gard
ner. Moore Greene and Anderson. reDubli-
can members Of the ways and means
committee
The people have not asked for H. The
party proposing il is in power not by the
grace of majority of the American peo-
pie. but by a division in the ranks of the
majority on other questions than that of
protection The administration has the
power TO enact this legislation. The ac-
counting for the abuse of that power Will
come later
The report contends that the bill has
caused intense and widespread alarm in
business circles" and quotes the message
Of democratic Gov. Foss 10 the Massa-
chusetts legislature describing the pro-
posed act as non protective tariff for
revenue only. unreclprocal, destructive
downward revision
Asserting that the democratic bill,
seems to meet with universal approva
on the other side OF the Atlantic" the
ture has been entirely eliminated in the
framing of the bill.
No one will accuse the democratic COM
mittee'' ii adds, of seeking to make up
the difference in cost here and abroad, or
even OF trying TO put the industries here
On a competitive basis with the industries
abroad
Will Lower Wage Scale.
1t is easily apparent that many of the
duties have been placed on articles used
by our manufacturers and imported
wholly from abroad as tax on manu-
facturers': that many duties have been
lowered so that they are much less than
the difference in the cost of labor at
home and abroad: that many articles
now paying very ,ov rates of duty have
been put on the free list, while the COM
parative cost of production here and
.0road is such that it will be impossible
for business TO continue without bring
ing down our scale of wages to the level
OF the rates paid abroad. In many cases
articles are put on the free list, while Il
protective duty is laid upon the material
used in their manufacture"
Attacking the ad valorem system. the
report says ii imposes a greater tax when
prices are high and competition not so
keen and a lesser tax when prices are
low and competition is keener and much
more injurious to the American producer:
and that il bears more heavily on the
honest importer and fayorS the man who
ny perjury and fraud undervalues his
goods and escapes his fair share of tax
