Should the house date be approved,
it was said the committee probably
would approve the repeal of all of the
transportation taxes as of next January

provided for in the house bill. Secre-
tary Melons proposal for retention of
the transportation levies next year at
one half the present rates. and the
restoration of tax on cosmetics. per-

GARDNER
IS HARD PRESSED
BY PRISON POSSES
Bit of Blood Stained Convict
Uniform Cloth Indicates Es-
capped Outlaw Has Been Shot.

Tacoma, Sept. ia strip of blood
soaked prison cloth, but few inches
square, found on the eastern end of
Mcneil island Monday, is being held as
one of the most important develop
ments in the search for Roy Gardner,
California mail bandit, who made his
sensational break from the federal
prison on the island Labor day.
Warden Thomas Maloney and other
officials declared that the cloth indi-
Gates that Gardner was wounded either
on the day Of his flight or during the
last few nights, when guards and in
habitants of the island have fired at a
sinking figure, or in the general direc-
ton of suspicious noises in the UNDER
brush.
The cloth, obviously part of a
prison uniform appeared to have been
cut from the garment, as the edges
were neatly trimmed and bore no traces
of having been torn by brambles Since
the discovery of one of the bandits
lairs Saturday afternoon half way up
the bluff at the eastern extremity Of
the island, Warden Maloney has pro-
secuted vigorous search throughout
nights the fugitive is believed to have
been under heavy fire.
The finding Of the bit Of cloth led
Maloney to express the belief that
Gardnor is hard pressed and nearing
the end Of his rope. The cloth also
proves, in the opinion of the warden.
that Gardner is still in his prison
clothes, simplifying the search, as it
would show that the bandit is not being
harbored by island residents and so
far has been without outside assistance.
Likewise, the guards assume, that If
Grdner has been unable to obtain
civilian clothing, he is also without

of West Newton, Mass, asking the So

companied the letter. strongly opposing

dam Yellowstone lake, in order that
the surplus waters may be utilized for
irrigation. The resolution opposed all
measures for dams In national parks,
on the ground that they would destroy
the scenery to greater or less extent.
irrigation Held Preferable.
David Hilger, of Fergus, made a
brief explanation of the purpose and
effect Of the plan for damming Yellow
stone lake and gave it as his opinion
that it would not affect the scenic
beauty at all, while it would serve a
very excellent purpose in permitting
water to be put on land now unp:o-
ductive. He related the experience in
connection with the dam at the Gate
of the mountains, which backed up the
waters of the Missouri, and said that
instead of injuring the scenic beauties,
it enhanced them by doing away with

places for mosquitoes.
Secretary ]. u. Sanders also made
an address, opposing action upon the
resolution submitted by Mrs. Wood
ridge, while w. A. Hedges, brother
of Mrs. Woodbridge, spoke at length in

For instnace Is II too much to sup

be only SO per cent.
However the case illustraes how

The difference between the actual
Increase or decrease In products ex-

opportunity for the demagogue to
practice deception. and still use ex-

As an illustration. let US assume
that machine sold once for 500;
II was advanced to $500; that would
be 200 per cent increase. Deaation
