The discovery that the estimate Of
the production of cotton manufactures
on which the house ways and means
committe based its proposed revision
of the tariff was four hundred million
square yards out of the way is said
to have shaken the faith of the senate
finance committee in the competency
of the house ways and means commit
tee to perform its work.
The discrepancy represents value
of forty-seven million dollars. II the
tariff slashers were so far from the
fact in this item, why may they not
have made equally serious errors in
other particulars? Undoubtedly they
have.
Is it safe to let the prosperity of
American industries and the happi-
ness of the working people those in
dustries support hinge upon revolu.
tionary change in the tariff proposed
by men who have been detected in
miscalculation that might be ruinous

MUST HURT FARMER
Effect of Tariff Reduction on
Agricultural Products.
Just at This Time, When Change In
Economic Conditions Makes Pro-
tecticn Most Needed, II Is to
Be Taken Away.

The popular agitation against the
high cost of living has been used as
an excuse for proposing material re-
ductions In the tariff on agricultural
products. If all the benefits prophe-
sled would follow upon the passage of
the Underwood-Simm bill, these re-
ductions might be justified, but it Is
safe to say that the consumer is DOOM
ed to disappointment. At the same
time the effect on the agricultural
producer is going to be more serious
than anticipated by many legislators.
A decade and more ago the great
percentage of American agricultural
products were sold in foreign markets.
Now change is coming over our eco
nonic life. The time Is almost at
hand when we will cease to be an
exporter of agricultural products. Our
vast production will be required to
feed our own population. At the same
time unlimited areas are being opened
UP in Canada and Argentina. and mil.
lions Of bushels of wheat and other
products are produced in these coun.
tries each year. From the consumers
point of view the free importation OF
food products may be desirable, but
from the point of view Of the Amer
lean producer 1t is not desirable. Nov
when he Is in need of protection. he
finds 1t being taken away from him.

ONE IS MURDERED,
ANOTHER A SUICIDE
Man and Woman Die To-
gether by Agreement.
Couple Leave Note Saying 1--WE Have
Sinned but We Love Each Other;
Sooner Than Part We
Die Together"

New York City.-With a bright
smile on her face and an expression
of perfect peace and love clearly dis
tinguishable many hours after death,
the body of Miss Ellen Sidley was
found lying beside the dead body of
Harry G. Elliott, who had murdered
her and then killed himself in clump
of bushes in Macombs dam park, the
Bronx.
Two shots had been fired into the
woman, each of which would have
into the man who had also died in
stantly.
Even the face of Elliott bore a calm
and satisfied expression.
John Gerring, park employe, came
| upon the bodies suddenly while
searching the bushes for waste paper.
BY the side of Elliott lay 3S calibre
revolver with three out of the five
cartridges fired. In the mans pocket
was note written in feminine hand
on expensive foreign note paper with
a lavender border which read:
Aug. A, 1913.-To whom it may con.
cern: This is to certify that we both
have agreed to die together. We have
sinned but we loved each other. Soon
er than part we die together. Our
wish is that our bodies will not be
parted in death-Ellen Sidley-Harry
G. Elliott"
Pinned to the note was a card
which read "Mr. H. Elliott. 21s w.
14Sth-st, New York city"
A pathetic feature of the case was
the discovery that the man and wom-
an had carefully prepared for death.
| The position of the bodies indicated
that Miss Sidley had stretched her.
self out on the ground and had re-
| moved her corsets, which she used
as a pillow to prevent the possibility
of the bullet being detracted in any
way. She had come to the spot with
out underclothes of any sort aside
from silk stockings, expensive black
pumps and costly tailor-made foreign
| silk dress. She had removed her
equally expensive straw hat mounted
with two large and costly plumes be-
fore the fatal shot was fired. Elliott
had prepared likewise, wearing mere
ly neat suit of blue, silk undershirt
and collar and straw hat bearing
the name C. H. Gwynne C Son, Lon.
don, England.

Washington. ID. c. - The third

ton by automobile and took the Capt.,
tol by storm. The tariff bill was laid
aside for two hours until all the Pc
titions and memorials could be sub
mitted.
The delegations were met at their
headquarters downtown by the mem
bers of the suffrage committee of the
senate, which favorably reported the
proposed amendment. Accompanied
by Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
legislative committee of the suffrag-
lists, this committee returned to the
Capitol. Senators Ashurst, Owen,
PoindeXter, Works, Jones, Smoot,
Lane, Clapp, Shaffroth, Thomas and
Hollis made brief addresses indorsing
the suffrage petitions and the princi-
pies they represented. Senators
Bankhead, MARITIME and Thornton were
the only ones with courage sufficient
to oppose the idea of votes for women.
Others were content to lay the papers
before the senate without indicating
their views
The reasons for this request on
the part Of the women of the coun-
try" said Senator Owen. one of the
most ardent champions of the move
ment, "are overwhelming and un-
answerable. The time has come when
they must be considered with dignity
and with unbiased mind, free from
prejudice or passion in the interest
of the welfare of the human race"

Flee From Mexico.
ASKS CONGRESS FOR 100000
President lntervenes and Prevents
Ambassador H. Wilson From Telling
Story of Mexico and Its Troubles
to House Committee.

Washington, d. C.-The United
States government, by Secretary OF
State Bryan, with the approval of the
president, has asked congress for the
large sum of 100000 to get Ameri.
can citizens out of the republic of
Mexico at once.
Await Transportation.
The official news to the department
is that many Americans, including
whole families, are fleeing into Tampi-
co from Chamas, Coco and outlying
districts" and are at the seaport
awaiting transportation to the United
States.
A strong argument against interven.
tion has always been that 1t might ex,
asperate the Mexicans of all parties
to such an extent that a massacre OF
American citizens might be the result
Another very significant develop.
ment in the Mexican situation is that
the White House intervened to pre-.
vent Ambassador Wilson from telling
the complete story of Mexico and it's
troubles to the foreign affairs com.
mittee of which Representative Henry
Flood is chairman.
Talk of Intervention among SEN
ators in the privacy of the cloakrooms
is growing stronger every day. One
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee said that what they feared was
some serious outbreak in Mexico like
the Maine tragedy that will arouse
the entire country.
Committee Complains.
Foreign relations committee SEN
ators complain of President Wilson's
refusal to take the committee into his
confidence. They say Cleveland, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft consulted
freely, not only with the majority
but the minority members when for
eign affairs were acute.
Senator Sheppard of Texas laid be-
fore the senate resolution passed
by the Texas state senate demanding
that congress take such actions as
will make effective the declaration of
the Baltimore platform guaranteeing
the constitutional rights of all Ameri
cans abroad. This is taken as an in
dication of the growing feeling of un'
rest along the border.
Chairman Bacon of the foreign re.
lations committee said he did not
know what the plans of the president
with regard to Mexico were. Sub
merging his own views, Mr.. Bacon de-
clared that the committee would take
no steps until advised by the presi-
dent what he wished done.

were mostly all mangled and killed

ORDERS EXPRESS RATES CUT
|. c. c. Move Means Active compe-
tition Between Express Companies
and the Parcel Post.

Washington, ID. C.-Active compe-
tition between the express companies
of the United States and the govern
ment parcel post will begin on Oct.
Is next. The express companies were
forced into this move by the inter
state commerce commission which has
just announced drastic reduction Of
express rates to go into effect on that
date.
The commission in issuing the man
date declared that the express COM
panies had for years gouged the Amer
lean public to the extent of millions OF
dollars annually in swollen profits.
The reduction ordered is from 10 to 60
per cent, transportation of foodstuffs
and packages under so pounds in
weight being largely cheapened under
the new tariff.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present graduated
scale of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged or slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered; for so pounds or
less all rates have been practically
reduced. For packages more than four
pounds going more than 200 miles
and less than 1000 the new express
rates are generally lower than the par
Gel post rates: for more than 5000
miles rates are practically the same.
The express companies had filed
statements indicating that the losses
of revenue under the proposed rates
would be intolerable.
