medical chests of the militia, as well
as supplies sent by other cities, have
in many instances been delayed by

The activity of certain local under
takers called forth the wrath OF
Major Dupuy. who issued a statement
In which he called them "ghouls" for
their feverish activity in seeking out

burying them without making report

made with the proposed policy of the
present administration and the new
tariff.

inevitable reunion which must occur
indeed, which in Michigan and Chi

gette arson squad set fire to a train
standing on a siding of the South
western railway at Teddngton- on
Thames, outside London, early this

Quantities of oil and other combusti-

was in the shed of the Great Eastern
railroad station at West Hill, about
30 miles north of London, and the other
under the grandstands at the Preston

WESTERN SENATORS
MAKE LAST FIGHT
THIS WEEK
WILL TRY HARD TO GET WILSON
TO AGREE TO COMPROMISE
ON TARIFF BILL.

Washington, April 26.-(Special)-
What is expected to be the last stand
of the western democratic senators
against free sugar and free wool will
be made as soon as President Wilson
returns to the city next week. A few
senators have agreed to call on the
president to urge compromise on the
present tariff bill and secure his con-
sent to it's amendment in the house to
eliminate the three-years provision for
sugar and allow the cent duty to con-
tinue indefinitely. Also they will try
to get the presidents consent to a duty
of Is per cent ad valorem on wool.
Failing in these attempts they will try
to get the president to agree to have
the bill take effect January l.
The western senators will base their
plea entirely on the fact that free SUI
gar and free wool will seriously jeop-
ardize if not defeat the party's sue
