RepubIicans-Fieht Goes to
Senate Now.

cratic party as the answer to its plat
form pledge to reduce the tariff

,crats voting against the bill and two
Republicans voting for it. Four Pro
gressives supported the measure and
fourteen opposed it, while one Inde-
pendent Progressive joined with the
majority
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote in loud tones that revealed his
satisfaction in the arrival of the day
he long had sought, exuberant Demo
Gratis hoisted a stuffed Democratic
donkey over the heads of their col
leagues in the rear of the chamber,
a faint ripple of applause followed
and the gavel fell on the first chap
ter in the history of President Will
sons extra session of congress.
Republicans and Progressives led
respectively by Representative Mann
Of Illinois and Representative Muir
dock of Kansas, protested to the last
against the measure, the lowest tariff
bill ever written, and proclaiming, as
tho Democratic avalanche bowled
them over, the virtues of differing
tariff commission plans.
Republicans who voted for the bill
were Carey and Stafford of Wiscon-
sin. Democrats who opposed it were
Broussard, Dupre, Lazaro and Nor
gan of Louisiana, on account of the
schedule reducing sugar 25 per cent
and sending it to the free list in three
years, and C. b. Smith of New York.
Progressives who voted for the bill
were Kelly and Ripley of Pennsylva
MIA, Nolan of California, and Bryan
of Washington. Kent of California,
formerly a Republican, but now an
independent Progressive, also voted
for the bill.
Victor Murdoch and thirteen Of his
Progressive followers voted with the

AMERICANS WERE IN DANGER
An Attempt to Blow Up Grand Hotel
in London Frustrated BY
Policeman.

London.-A bomb with lighted fuse
was placed at the main entrance OF
the Grand Hotel at 2:30 o'clock in
the morning and tied to the fuse was
a placard with Votes for Women"
upon it. The hotel is filed with
American tourists.
A policeman said he saw Ada Ward,
militant suffragette, place the bomb
and arrested her. Holding the strug-
Cling woman, the policeman extin-
guished the bomb fuse with his foot
and then took both to the station.
Miss Ward was held for trial in
Bow Street police court and remand
ed to Holloway jail without bail.
st. GATHERINGS, the parish church
of Hatcham, in the southeast of Lon
don, was destroyed by fire and the
outrage is placed by the police to the
account of the militant suffragettes.
The edifice was well alight before the
fire was discovered and the roof
crashed in soon after the arrival of
the firemen.
The pastor of the church saw three
women in the building shortly before
the fire broke out. He assumed they
were worshippers, as the church was
kept open for private prayer through
out the day. A number of hassocks
were found saturated with oil.

SUFFRAGE Is AGAIN DEFEATED
English Parliament the Proposition
266 to 219-Militancy Hurt
the Cause.

London, England.-The fate of the
Woman's Suffrage bill was sealed by
the votes of more than fifty Irish
Nationalists, who voted against it.
The bill, whereby it was sought to
enfranchise 100000 women. was re-
jected by majority of AZ. The vote
stood 2G6 to 219.
Whether there is any chance that
the present Parliament will pass a
bill of more limited character may be
doubted Possibly the Nationalists
fear that if they allow woman's
franchise bill to pass the second read
ing it will lead to a parliamentary
struggle, which not unlikely would
end in dissolution of Parliament be-
fore the Home Rule bill becomes
law.
Furthermore, the debate proved
that the militant policy of the suffra-
gists has done the cause great harm
as far as Parliament is concerned.

REPORT IS AGAINST FRlEDMANR
Government Physicians Say condi.

Much Confidence.

Washington.-Public health service
observations into the condition of DR..
F. f. Friedmanns vaccine innocu-
lated tuberculosis patients do not
Justify that confidence in the rem

spread publicity"
The first authentic and official con-
clusion from the tests was announced
here before the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis by DR.. John F. Ander-
son, director of the government s
hygienic laboratory, and by DR.. A. NJ.
Stimson, another public health sur
geon, detailed to observe the progress
of the Friedman patients at Mount
Sinai hospital in New York.
The disease for which the remedy
is used is prolonged and is character
lied by periods of advancement and
retrogression," the report says. 1T
is also one in which physical in
fiuences are a powerful factor. Time
is therefore necessary properly to
evaluate the effect of treatment"

on the back Of his head and twist cigarette
while riding bareback around the polo field, Miss
Yoakum knew that she was looking at her future
husband But she would not say Eyes" until
She had seen him on the ranch itself, until she
had fitted him with her hands into the
scenery and seen with her own eyes how he COM
posed with it.
Therefore in December she persuaded her par
ents to go to the ranch for few weeks visit,
and with the party went Mr.. Larlin. With Mr..
Larkin went the chaps and sombrero and new
rifle.
When the party reached the ranch Miss
Yoakum happily discovered that Mr.. Larkin com.
pared very favorably with the men born and bred
in Texas. He walked with the same swagger,
sang well, and talked eagerly Of the day when he
should kill his first steer.
There on the ranch, therefore, the Princetonian
qualified in every particular He assoed coyette
on the run, rode bad bronco for three days on
the trail, swore In the vernacular and killed six
ratters.
"But will he compose we'll with the scenery,
will he harmonic with the catcus?" asked Miss
Yoakum Of her palpitating heart.
To answer this question she took him one day
to the widest part of the ranch, where the cactus
prickly beyond words and the rocks
abounded with rattlers.
Nonchalantly Mr.. Larkin leaned UP against
the cactus trees, rolled cigarette with his left
hand, sang cowboy ballad with his tenor voice.
and, when he heard suspicious sound back OF
him, twirled around with the song still on his

A steady stream of suitors has since wended
their way to the Yoakum drawing room, but one
and all they, like the King Of France, turn and
march home again. In this procession were Cryil
Hatch one of Newport's millionaire bachelors
and usually devoted to Eleanora Sears, the
Burke-Roche twins Mrs Burke -Roche's sons

Mr.. Stuyvesent Fish. Ralph Thomas, Henri Mar

OF all ages.
In the days when the two sisters were small
girls running about the big ranch they showed
the disparity in their tastes that is still SO
marked. Katherine, the older, cared not bit for
the ranch in fact she hated it and all that 1t
meant She would not learn to shoot, she would
not ride the broncos and ran away from
boys and rattlers
Bessie the younger. was much Drawer Ehe
learned to shoot before she ten years old and
rode the worst horses the ranch before she
was twelve. When she saw rattler she killed
It, and when she cowboy she smiled at
him. The scenery that made Katherine shudder
with dread made Bessie thrill with Joy.
When she entered society she was unhappy
because she was compelled to live the life con.
ventional 1t was the great difference between
the ranch and the men she met In Newport and
New York that made her decide to marry only
who would fit her ranch.
Said Miss Yoakum once:
you see, was born in Texas, the most
beautiful ranch in the world. There are thou

rocks and grass fields, and the scenery is thrill

the gym and said:

out printed list pasted on the wall. Mr..

darker as he read

Each man oddly enough failed different
count.
Francis Roche, for instance looked perfectly
adorable in the chaps and sombrero; he rode we'll
and sang WELL too, but he could not swear in the
vernacular, and he utterly refused to go down to
the slaughter house East River and kill steer.
His twin brother, Maurice, did not even qualify
to that extent. He failed to lasso one Of the
neighbours hens, and stopped right there.
Charlie Sands cut through the entire list until
he had to stand UP against six cactus trees placed
in one corner of the gym and lean nonchantly
against their stems. Charlie has always been
considered rather handsome, but he did not look
under the shade of the catcus. He lost his
chance utterly.
Ralph Thomas, who has since married Mrs.
Frank Gould, looked perfectly improper In the
chaps that he stopped there and would go no
further.
Henri Martin, being attached to the Swiss Ie-
cation in Washington, refused to live on the
ranch, and he was out the very first count
With all these admirers going through their
PAGES, Miss Yoakum was very busy person. It
takes little time to tell, but these adventures and
few others took five years. But all this time
there WAS another who was steadily qualifying
for the place Of ideal husband. No one realized
it, for Frank Larkn began when he was a student
at Princeton
He went through his PAGES In the gym at the
Yoakum estate in Long Island.

Is that firefes make animated love by the glow
