ture In Speech.

washington, July 22-Asserting that
a foreign lobby" had Influenced the
Democrats in framing the Underwood.
Simmons tariff bill, Senator Smoot,
Republican member of the finance
committee, delivered a vigorous attack
on the measure. He painted picture
of mills shut down, workmen unem-
ployed, investors ruined and an era of
general financial and Industrial depres-
sion as the result of the leveling of
tariff walls.
There has been lobby here in be-
half Of foreign manufacturers" he
charged, "such as was never before
witnessed in the history of the nation,
and they have got even more than
they asked for. The Italian chamber
OF commerce of New York asked for
certain reductions and the Democrats
in nearly every case have given them
more than they asked"
The senator assailed the increase in
the free list, especially with reference
to sugar, wool, pig iron and textiles.
He charged that the sugar industry of
Hawaii and Porto Rico would be
ruined, with consequent benefits to
the so called sugar trust, and that
China, with its great steel plants,
would capture the steel business of
the Western hemisphere.

CONDEMNED AS UNSClENTlFlC
Miss Lathrop Says Baby Shows Should
Be Consigned to Past.


Be Consigned to Past.
Washington, July 22.-Prizes for the
most perfect babies at baby shows
are condemned as unscientific by Miss
Julia c. Lathrop of Chicago, director
of the federal children's bureau.
AT a recent agricultural fair" said
Miss Lathrop, "the managers explain
ed that they offered prizes for the ba-
bies because they offered prizes for
the pigs, and thought they ought to
do as much for the babies. Now, ba.
bies and pigs are not in the same
class, and offering prize for pig is
the very reason for different treat,
ment Of babies.
"The old fashioned baby show, with
its crowded publicity, it's prizes and
it's maternal heartburnings, should be
consigned to the past.
Certificates awarded to mothers
who care most efficiently for their ba-
bies should replace the prizes. Many a
mother who, through luck, is blessed
with a healthy baby, deserves less
credit than a careful mother who,
through carefully observing rules OF
feeding, develops a sickly baby into a
healthy child"

Sea Water for London.

A gigantic scheme for supplying
London with sea water direct by
means with pipeline from the east
coast is to come before parliament.
The promoters depend to some extent
upon the cooperation of the borough
councils, which, it is expected, will
contract for supplies of sea water for
use in swimming and private baths,
and in some cases their support has
already been promised. The elaborate
plans include the establishment Of q
f1rst-class hydro in a fashionable part
Of London A newspaper representa-
tive was told by one of the originators
of the scheme that the engineers, salts
fed from the outset as to It's practic-
ability, now state that all the Difficult
ties have been overcome The cost
has been estimated at between $780,
900 and 9750,000, and 1t is further.

received by the project justifles the

No More Use for tho Ak.

For some time there has been In
more or less limited use q system OF
telling trees by which q heated wire
is drawn across the trunk and grad.
ually eats its way through. An i'm
provement on this has been patented
recently, In which the necessary heat
is generated by the passage Of the
wire back and forth over the tree
trunk. In order to increase the heat
the wire is slightly roughened, and
this also assists in tearing away the
fiber Of the wood. facilitating the pas.

just as rapid as the older one. and q

Diarrhea in the older stock is u.s.
ually due to rich feed; more succu-
lent feed than the animal is ac-
customed to; unwise use. of strong
physics; stagnant or foul drinking
water; short grass on sandy pastures,
so that the animal swallows consid-
cradle sand; mouldy feed, particular
ly corn; or too many raw potatoes.
A mild form of chronic diarrhea is
sometimes seen in horses of rather
loose conformation. In these latter
cases the diarrhea is brought on by
active exercise and disappears more
or less entirely when the animal is
standing in the stable.

anxious to explain to his family his
reasons for placing his case wholly in
the hands of his New Hampshire
counsel. The latter are working in
complete harmony with former Gov

Reports that Governor Felker was
inclined to give Thaw his liberty and
leave the final disposition of the case
to the federal courts find no support

proach the extradition proceedings on
Tuesday with perfectly open mind.
His only determination was, he said,
that justice should be done.

NAME IS ASSUMED.
Schmidt's Partner Is Identified in
Hamburg as Arthur Hcibing.

Hamburg, Germany. Sept. 20.-The
police here today identified as Arthur
Heibing the man now detained in New
York as DIR. Ernest A. Muret," and
under suspicion of being concerned
with the confessed murderer, Father
Johannes Schmidt, in his counterfeit
ing operations.
Heibing was born at Nakel in the
province of Posen, in 1887. He reSid-
ed at Hamburg from 1904 to 1903,
posing variously as a merchant and
insurance agent and a physician. He
lived in 20 different lodgings here.
Heibing became a member of the
Hamburg Young Mems Christian As
sociation under the name of Muret and
was repeatedly in trouble in the courts.
He disappeared from Hamburg at the
end of 1909 and warrants for swindling
frauds are still out against him, both
in Hamburg and Berlin
