tariff enacted by the republican
party"
"This," said Senator Burton, was
your campaign argument; this was
the promise on which you regard
yourselves as delegated to tear to
pieces the fiscal policy which has
been the sheet anchor of nearly two
decades Of unprecedented prosperity
and which is the only guarantee of
its continuance. You have erected
tariff policy blind to every consid-
Grafton except the consumer. The Dill
was frankly not framed to encourage
capital to enter new fields Of INDUS
try or to extend those already cover
ed. If it fails in this, it fails utter
ly."
Denouncing the advalorem system
adopted in the bill as substitute
for specific duties, Senator Burton
declared that it was Objectionable be-
cause it meant heavier burden on
the consumer and smaller burden
when prices are low; v-nt it affords
temptation for differentiation and
fraud and that it works to the disad-
vantage of the American manufac-
turer who must buy raw material
abroad.

items from these reports:

girls, 281; total, 4S8. Eighty Of these
are from Las Vegas and 200 from
East Las Vegas The remaining 1874
are from out Of town. This report

that it is growing ali the time.

tions will begin Friday and close Sat

LOUIS newman is
HERE WITH BIG
TALK
TELLS ALL ABOUT HIS TRIUMPH
IN DENVER AS WELL AS HIS
PLANS

Louis Newman, the claimant to the
lightweight title Of the Rocky Noun
tain region, returned to Las Vegas yes
terday afternoon from Denver where
he has been for the past few weeks.
Benny Chavez, Newman's sparring
partner, will arrive tonight.
Newman began training this after
noon in his quarters on the West side,
and showed good form, jumping the
rope with all the vim and vigor Of his
youth and showing the assembly of
fans that attended that he still has
science and punch when boxing. New
man stated yesterday afternoon when
he reached Las Vegas that he had an
cary time with his opponent at Den
yer last week, Lee Morrissey of Okla
homa. Morrissey had been touted by
the Denver papers and other sporting
sheets as a first class boxer and a
good conner for the championship, but
the showing he made with Newman
has changed the general opinion great
ly. Seeing that Newman had the best
of him all the way through the fight,
Morrissey decided in the fifth round
to quit, claiming that the altitude had
affected him BY doing so he ended
his career in Denver as a boxer. This
bout, according to Newman, was the
only real show of the evening.
Newman also stated that Kid Pep
pers was an easy mark for Benny Cha
vez. Louie will work hard for the
coming three days, and each morning.
as he did this morning, will take
jaunts out in the country and box in
the afternoon.
"If l whip Yoakum this time" said
Newman, 'T'll get chance at the best
in my class in Denver and other places
and will probably be matched for the
early part of next month FOR one OIL
these battles"
Stanley Yoakum, 'the iron man, :"
who holds one decision over Newman
and also a draw, began his work yes
terday afternoon at his quarters on
Lincoln avenue. At rope jumping,
Yoakum is a star, making all the fan
cy and difficult cuttings with the thread
that even an expert seldom does. He
punched the bag for several rounds
and showed class in this respect. He
will box agai tonight at O'Clock in
his quarters and a large crowd Of fans
is expected to attend. Charles O'Mal-
ley, the promoter, placed the tickets
for the fight on sale today. He anti
cipates that the attendance at this
fight will be the largest that has been
known here and Judging from the in,
terest that has been aroused there is
little doubt but that the attendance
will be immense.

The senator then launched into a
detailed comparison of the cost of
production and the wages paid in the
United States and abroad, and as
serted that the removal Of duties was

Burton Denounces Free Trade.
Denunciation Of free trade as a
timely policy for the United States,
a prediction of failure in its purposes
for the Underwood-Simmons tariff
bill and an attack on an adyalorem
tariff system were voiced by Senator
Burton. Of Ohio today when tariff dis
eussion.. was resumed in the senate.
Senator Burton declare he was no
worshipper of protection, but that he
approached the subject Of the tariff
'rather with conviction that when
ever there shall be an era of comfy
and mutual concession in trade
among nations and our country shall
have reached a point when its pro-
ductive capacity has been developed
fully, free trade might De rational
policy"
Such, he said. was not the case,
the disposition TO restrict trade
among nations and to grant access
to markets only on rendering conces-
sions in return being on the in
crease Senator Burton declared that
the democrats had framed a bill
which literally tears to pieces the ifs
cal policy Of the nation, in order to
satisfy the craving Of the lowering Of
the cost of living and to justify the
declaration Of the party platform that
the chief cause Of the high cost Of
