The Hitter Hit.

We sometimes hear of the bitter
bitten, but not always of the hitter
hitten."
Chairman McCombs of the demo
cratic national committee was one of
the subscribers to the tariff plank Of
the Baltimore platform declaring pro-
tective duties to be unconstitutional
and pronouncing tariff revision to be
one of the panaceas for the high cost
of living
According to the Washington cor
respondent of Hearst's New York
American Chairman McCombs has
200 acres OF rice in Arkansas. and
when he learned that rice was TO go
on the free list in the democratic
tariff bill, he started for the White
House. Here Is how the correspon-
dent recites the dialogue:
Members OF the House had been
talking rice in the caucus when Nc
Combs asked, will this schedule
affect growers?"
1T certainly WILL" replied a men,
Der. at will take away all the

The deuce you say. I'm going up
to see the President"
We hope that Chairman McCombs

Meantime. the joke being on Nc
Combs, he should be able to see that

FIVE MEN KILLED
WHEN O|RIG|BLE
COLLAPSES
French Military Balloon Drops
from Height Of $50 Feet
RENT IN lHE BIG BAG
Believed That Cover Was but BY
Frightened Aeronaut When Valve
Failed to Work.

Paris, April 1S.-One Of the most
terrible accidents to spherical bal
loon in many years occurred at Noisy
LIE Grande. France, yesterday after
noon. The military balloon Zodiac
collapsed at height of about $50 feet
and fell to the ground with its five oc-
cupants, all of whom were killed. The
Zodiac, which had capacity of 1000
cubic meters, was inflated with ordi-
nary gas and left the aero club park
at st. Cloud with the military aero
nauts, Capts. Cleveland and Denoue,
Lieut.. De Vaisselot and Artilleryman
Rechy, and the civilian pilot, Aumont
Thieville aboard.
Propelled by strong wind the bal
loon passed rapidly over Paris and ar
rived at Noisy lie Grande. Observers
suddenly saw it shivel up and fall La
borers working in the fields rushed to
the assistance OF the aeronauts, but
had difficulty in extricating them from
the vast mass of silk. Three of the
men-Clavenad, Rechy and Aumont
Thieville, were killed outright. De-
noue and De Vaisselot were still
breathing. They we're placed in an
automobile which happened to be pass
ing along the high road and rushed to
the military hospital at Vincennes. De
noue died on the way; De Vaisselot
died at the hospital.
The exact cause of the accident re-
mains for the present mystery. The
collapse of the balloon was due to a
tear in the cover, which apparently
was made Intentionally. The theory
is that something went wrong with
the valve and that one of the aero
nauts lost his head and cut the cover,
causing the immediate denation of the
balloon.
The log aboard indicates that the
Zodiac passed over Paris at an alti-
tude of about $500 feet; after which
1t dropped and then assembled above
the clouds. Here the log stops. Zou-
ayes stationed at Fontenay-Sous-Dois
report that the guide rope was thrown
out there. They tried to hold it, but
the wind was too strong and they
were obliged to let so.

TO RELEASE AMERICANS
Men In Mexican Prisons for Twelve
Years for Insurance Frauds

Rochester, April 17.-After twelve
years confinement in Mexican pri-
sons. Attorney Leslie +. Hulburt,
once connected with the district at
torney's Office in Monroe county; his
brother-in-law. William Mitchell and
their alleged accomplice in insurance
frauds, involving murder, DR.. Charles
S. Harle of Abilene, Texas. are to be
released.
The information came to the office
of District Attorney John w. Barrett
in letter from William H. Garrison,
the life insurance company's detec-
tive, who brought about the convic-
ton of Hulburt and his companions.
All the life insurance companies of
the world have taken an interest in
the case. Hulburt was combined in
San Juan De Ullo prison when Felix
Diaz was sent there and the latter be-
came interested in the lawyer. With
Diaz's attainment of power he took
up the pardon of the men.

Everyone who hrr watched th7 r-o

regulation of trusts must have r9allz-
ed the force Of the old saying: 1T

Illustration CT its trrthfulness was
afforded " the acticl OF tbs demo
CRATE caucus .r refusing 70 put cct"o
on the free list. The argument for
the cattle duty which proved effec-
tive was that If foreign herds and
hocks could be driven into the United
States without paying toll at the Gus
tom houses the grazing industry of
Texas and Missouri would suffer The
graziers of those regions by their con
gressmen demanded at least a meas
ure Of protection against the pauper-
bred cattle of Mexico and Argentina,
and they got It, There was some
thing delightfully."- naive in these pro-
tests against free cattle coming from
men who had clamored for free boots
and shoes. The New England OK is
Industrial, and is gored; the South
western OK is agricultural, and is to
be protected. Better a tariff bill
with free boots and shoes than an un
protected stalled OK and contention"
herewith.
IL the tariff is the factor In the
cost of living the democrats say 1t is
they never let slip a better chance for
reducing prices than was presented
to their caucus. The United States
is today under the present tariff an
importer of cattle. During the IL
months ending December last the inn
ports of cattle exceeded $4,000
head, valued at almost S5,SOO,OOO.
The exports in the same time were
46,46S head, appraised at $3,623,043.
In value for exports of horses led our

less fresh beef abroad than we sold
even three years ago, the exports OF
that article dropping off in value
from $5,911,10S in 1910 to s1,05S,777
in 1912. Nearly so per cent Of the
money aggregate Of our cattle importa
tions Is to be credited to Mexico.
Across the Mexican border came $685.
315 head Of cattle. These are the
cattle that gore the democratic oxen.
With the removal of the duty, the
herds that would come in on the hoof
from the great Mexican pastures
would increase many times over last
years record. Mexican cattle will
come in under the democratic tariff
but not on the hoof. They will come
in as fresh beef, which is to be free.
The great packers will establish their
slaughtering establishments just
south of the Mexican line and will
make a good thing. very good thing

GARMENT STRIKE ENDS
Boston Workmen Vote to Accept
Terms of Agreement.

Boston, April 1.-THE last of the
garment workers strike which have
paralyzed, that industry in this city
for the past 10 weeks, was settled
tonight when $500 members of the
Mems Garment Workers union voted
to accept the terms OF an agreement
reached today. The strikers win
practically all their demands includ-
ing a working week of IS hours and
All increase OF wages OF at least 81 a
week. "A general committee OF three
representatives of the manufacturer
and workers is to act as an arbitra-
ton board. Only one firm refused
to subscribe to the agreement.
The mems garment workers, who
settled today, were the first of the
trade in this city to- strike. Their
exit from the shops on February 3
was followed by strikers that az
fected $4,000 workers. All these
strikes have been settled with con
cessions to the strikers.

BULL MOOSE INDEPENDENT
Proeressives to Stay on the Job Until
It's Completed.

New York, April 17.--At the close
of their meeting late today, the mem
bers of the progressive party ma
tional executive committee issued a
statement declaring there is no pos
sibility of the new party ever ANAL,
gamating with either of the old par,
ties.
There is neither prospect nor pos
sibility of any amalgamation or com
bination of the progressives with
either of the old Tory parties" says
the official statement. "The repub-
lican party under permanently reac-
tionary leadership, presents no hope
of genuine progressive achievement.
There can be no progressive democ-
racy because the democratic theory
or states rights and progressive legis
lation are incompatible with each
other. The method by which the DEM
ocratic party at this moment is hand
ling the tariff is previsely the method
that has given rise to abuses in the
past; the method that insures prefer
ence to special influences and pre-
vents a genuine non-partisan effort
to reduce excessive rates.
"a permanent non-partisan tarln
commission with ample power to
find out and report upon the facts
whose duty it shall be to lay before
Congress the information without
which Congress cannot act intelli-
gently, offers the only way Of remedy
ing the abuses that have grown into
our tariff policy. The progressive
policy believes in a protective tariff
which shall equalize conditions of
competition between the United
States and foreign countries both for
the farmer and the manufactures
which will maintain for labor an ade-
quate standard of living"

THE BASEBALL LEAGUE
Definite Action Likely at Meeting In
North Adams Tonight

Manager John p Morrissey and the
members of the players committee
from the board of directors OF the
Bennington baseball association will
go to North Adams this evening for
the purpose of organizing the four
cornered baseball league. Since the
meeting in North Adams last week
the interested fans in the city of Ad-
ans have taken hold of the project
and have already raised two thirds
of the fund that was considered
necessary to start a team in that city.
The Adams men who were present at
last weeks meeting did not believe
It advisable to organize team with
out a fund of $500. There has al
ready been raised by subscription
over $500 and the men who are be-
hind the movement are confident that
the balance can be secured next
week.
