TARIFF FORECAST CORRECT.
May Not Reduce Customs Revenue
Any More Than Expected.

MY WUTV nan EHPected.
Washington, D. C.-The Underwood
Simmons tariff act went into effect six
months ago and present indications are
that it will not reduce customs revenue
any more than was estimated in Con-
gress at the time of passage. Accord
ing to the TTeasury's March statement
customs revenues amounted to about
$26,0OO,OO0, which is about $1,500,OOO
less than the Payne-Aldrich law pro-
duced in March, 1913. That was a
marked increase over February, when
revenues fell over $10,OOO,0OO com
pared to the same month of 1918.

and the work of burning the bodies Of
the dead, clearing away the wreckage
Of shell-shattered abode walls, street
barricades and barbed wire entangle-

When Villa took q considerable num-
Der of prisoners Velasco escaped from
the Canyon de Huarche with con-
siderable proportion of his force. He
was pursued by Gen. Hernandez, who
reported that he had fought small
rear guard engagement with the re-
treating force, and later Gen. Villa
with re-enforcements left here to make
an attempt to capture or annihilate it.
Non-combatants here, estimated
Velasco's garrison did not number
more than five thousand men, of whom
1900 were killed or wounded. When
Velasco fed he left behind in the mill
tary hospital two hundred wounded.
When the rebels entered the place
they found only one nurse, Dorothea
de la Cruz, in attendance. She said
that the other nurses followed the
army.

sured him none of the wounded would
be harmed Those who had the

Persons who say they were eye-wit-

executed three Spaniards whom he ac-

the same bullet killed both.
Three hundred and fifty Spaniards,
including women and children, took
refuge in a bank building under the
protection of American Consul Ulmer,
who remained in town throughout the
battle. The insurgents have shown
no disposition to harm those Spaniards
who are known to have remained
neutral. Other foreigners, including
1fty-five Chinese, Syrians and
Austrians and 100 Americans were un-
harmed so far as could be learned.
1t was reported that Gen. Velasco
himself was wounded, but this report,
like the one that he went insane in
the trenches, could not be confirmed
and the impression prevails that he is
still at the head of his troops. Two
federal generals were killed and three
wounded.

'BURNS REPORT
CLEARS FRANK
Detective Says He Knows Who
Killed Mary Phagan.
DECLARES FRANK NORMAL
Investigator Does Not Say Definitely
That Convicted Man Is Not
Factory Employees
Slayer.

Chicago, Il.-William J. Burns, the
detective, declared here that he knew
who murdered Mary Phagan, the At
lanta (Ga.) girl for whose death Leo
NJ. Frank is under sentence of death.
Whether the murderer was Frank or
someone else, in his opinion, Burns
would not say, but he intimated that
from his Investigations and comparing
their results with the results of the
coroner's jury, he did not think Frank
the sort of man capable of making the
attack on the girl alleged to have pre-
ceded her murder
Burns, on his arrival from Kansas
City, related this of his investigation.
He said his attention had first been
called to the case by a young man from
Atlanta who was a passenger on
steamer on which Burns was return
ing from Europe. The young man ex-
pressed his regret that Burns had not
become interested in the case before
the arrest and conviction Of Frank.
Through him Burns read in newspa-
pers of the trial and concluded, from
the accounts he saw, that Frank was
guilty. Later, while he was in Key
West, three citizens of Atlanta, includ-
ing two personal friends of Frank, saw
the detective and asked him to under.
take an investigation of the case.
Frank Not Abnormal.
At first, Burns said, he refused ON
the ground that If Frank were guilty
his investigation and final conclusion
to that effect could only hurt the de-
fendant, while if the investigation
tended to show doubt of Franks guilt,
it might serve to thwart justice.
Franks friends here declared that they
believed he had not been given fair
trial; that he was innocent of the
crime, but that if guilty they wanted
indisputable evidence of his guilt
Burns then took the case. His in
vestigations soon showed him, he said,
first, that public clamor, after a crime
wave, had resulted in the police max
ing extraordinary efforts to adduce evil
dence tending to convict Frank, and
second, that a report making out
Frank a man Of abnormal character
istics was commonly circulated
through the city, putting public opin-
ion strongly against him.
His inquiries then convinced Burns
that Frank was a perfectly normal
man. On the other hand, the testi-
mony of physicians was to the effect
that the one who attacked Mary
Phagan was abnormal

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Told How to Regain Strength
and Vigor

As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectively than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and di
gestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthened and bodybuilder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga,
says "If people only knew the good
vinol does old people, l am sure you
would be unable to supply the de
mand. l never took anything before
that did me so much good as Vinol
1t is the finest tonic and strength ere
ator ever used in my life"
If Vinol fails to build up the feeble
old people, and create strength we
will return your money. w. l.. Gokay
