Washington, D. c., July 5.-Senate
democrats caucussed again today to
put the finishing touches on the tariff
bill, preparatory to it's being formally

by the senate and signed by the presi-
dent before September /.
Today he made this statement:
The caucus has sustained the COM
mittee in all of its actions in ths
tariff except on one or two minor and
relatively unimportant matters. 7 am
satisfied that the bill as approved By
the caucus will pass the senate, and
with such notifications as may Ea
made in conference by the two houses
will be enacted into law.
Il am confident that there will be
no disturbance of legitimate business
in this country as a result of the
operation of this new tariff law.
am confident that it will result in re-
lieving the people of the United States
of many burdens from which they suf-
fer under the present tariff law. t

In accordance with an order that

ished For instance, an ordinarY

packages, special delivery letters aud
for registration purposes. The parcel
post stamps will also be good on

time for the postoffice officials.
Postmaster Mitchell has also re-

ance of parcel post packages of $25
value or less will be reduced to ten

.OUIET SUPREME
AGAIN PREVAILS
At GETTYSBURG
VETERANS HAVE LEFT scene
OF Bloody Battle Of the
Civil War

Gettysburg, Pa, July 5. - On the
crest of Cemetery ridge, just where
The morning sun touches it with
golden fingers, stands the statue New
York has raised to her men who
fought and died at Gettysburg. On
the tip of a tall marble shaft is tho
heroic figure of a woman. In her
right hand is a wreath, in her left, a
thin staff crowned with a liberty
cap. Her head is bowed as if in grief
but that long right arm with wreath
of brass, shoots out straight toward
Seminary ridge, a mile away across
the fields where Longstreet stood with
bowed head watching Pickett and his
brave men make their futile charge.
1t takes but little Imagination to
make that tall column with it's speak
ing figure, the moulded voice of the
nation. 1t takes but little touch of
the sentiment that has grasped everr
man who has come to the veterans
camp, to think of that outstretched
arm, as lifted not in sorrow, but in
benediction of an ever-silent tribute
to the men who lived and the men
who died on this greatest battlefield
of the war.
Down a hundred yards through the
trees around the statue runs Emmetts-
burg road, the main artery from Get1
tysburg to the camp. Over that road,
in the heat of a July sun, the veterans
of the armies of Meade and Lee
streamed today toward home, tired
possibly, but lifted out of themselves
by four days of a reunion such as
seems hardly possible in any other
country in the world.
Many veteran who passed over
that road today and many who have
passed before, turned with streaming
eyes to catch last glimpse Of that
long arm with wreath, as he trudged
the dusty road. 1t is the first land
mark that stands high enough to be
seen on the way to the battlefield, an
it is the last as the town swallows up
the road
Thousands of veterans began their
homeward march today after a last
exchange of greetings with the new
comrades they found here. Before
night more than half the army of so
900 had departed for their various
homes.

This information, if true, will enc
this feature of one of the most famous
case Mrs. Flanders and DR.. w. D
McNaughton were jointly indicted on a
charge of administering poison to
Fred Flanders, husband of Mrs. Mat

Dr. McNaughton was tried, convict,
ed and sentenced to death, but since
then spectacular fight has been go

Time and again Governor Brown re-
spited the condemned man as the day
for the execution approached, as
suming the position that the visitation
of the death pena ty would be unjust
until Mrs. Flanders had been tried,
inasmuch as she was jointly indicted
with the physician on the charge.
A few weeks before he retired from
office Governor Brown respited D..
McNaughton, who is in Jail in Savan-

trial of the woman might be forced.
