Washington, Jan. S1-The free list of
the tariff furnished the concluding chap
ter, today, of hearings before the House
committee on ways and means. The free
list, the administrative features of the
Payne-Aldrich law and miscellaneous ar
fairs in connection with customs duties
We're under fire, with prospects for wind
ing up of all the tariff hearings, tomor-
row. Half hundred witnesses We're on
the program.
The free list covers articles whose esti-
mated domestic production in 1911 was ST.
1876, 600 600 and consumption ST. 159, 600 600 out
of a grand total of so, Ola 009, 600 produc-
ton and 1,52S, 100000 consumption of ali
articles in the IA schedules and free list
of the Payne-Aldrich law.
In 1911 Congress passed and President
Taft vetoed the free list bill framed by
Chairman Underwoods committee That
measure proposed to put on the free list
agricultural implements. cotton bagging,
cotton ties, leather, booths and shoes.
fence wire, meats. cereals. breads, flour,
timber, lumber, Sewing machines. salt
and other articles.
President Taft's veto was on the ground
that the bill would diminish the revenues
by from 100000 to s14O00,0o0. Demo-
cratic leaders now figure on putting on
ne free list at the coming extra session
substantially the same articles that were
on the free list two years ago.

sail Off with them, thus breaking the

EXISTANCE OF
LEMON TRUST
is CHARGED

New York, December 2o.-Charges that
a lemon trust exists in New York and
has maintained lobby in Washington to
reduce the tariff on lemons are made in
a suit filed here today by William S.
Armstrong, receiver of the Mercadante-
Regan company, importers of fruits.
Armstrong seeks to recover damages
from the Sicula-American Steamship COM
pany which he says entered into an
agreement In 1911 with the fruit importers
union and other importers of lemons to
add two-pence, English money, to the
regular freight rate on every box of lem
ons brought here by the line. The Mer-
candante-Regan company, which failed in
1872 was not a member of the union or
a party to the agreement, Armstrong
relates, but was compelled to use the
steamers of the Sicula- American company
and pay the extra rate.
The plaintiff alleges that this extra tax
was to be used to lobby for a reduction
of the tariff on Italian lemons in oppo-
sition to the efforts of the California
lemon growers, who wanted the tariff re-
tanned.

tricks although for four years he had

WANTS TO STAY IN PRISON
Missouri Convict Declines Parole
After 21 Years Incarceration

Jefferson City, Mo-, December 13.-(Spe-
cial.) .)-There was an affectionate scene In
the office of the warden of the peniten-
tiary here when Felix Begby of Monte
vallo, Vernon county, met for the first
time in % years his brother, Simon Beg
by, who has been in the prison Il years
They are men we'll along in the sixties
The convict did not recognize his brother
and the latter was affected to tears when
he saw the ravages Il years of incar-
ceration had wrought in the once pow
erful physique of his relative.
Simon Begby went to the prison under
life sentence. He killed his brother-in.
law, William Henley. in Cedar county
in quarrel growing out of domestic

Missouri prison for continuous service

vict ever in the penitentiary here. The
average life of a man in the Missouri
prison is about 10 years.
He has twice been offered parole and
each time declined saying he desired to
end his life in the prison.
His wife lives near Montevallo. Until
tho visit of his brother he had not seen
any of his relatives since going to the
penitentiary.
Felix Begby said he had not kept ir
touch with his brother and recently read
III d newspaper tnat olmon nad decnned
a parole. Then he made up his mind
to see Simon. and If he would accept lib
erty to care for him.
He made this offer to the board of pa
roles and pardons and that body will In
few days recommend a parole.
Simon Begby is broken in health and
strength and has apparently lost all in
terest in everything outside the stone
walls that have held him so long.
He has been one of the model prison
ers only a few minor infractions of the
rules being charged against him, Fol
years he has had light employment as
one of the keepers Of a cell building Felix
Begby returned to his home tonight II
is up to Simon to say whether he will
remain in prison or become a free man.
