SENATE PASSES
EMERGENCY
TARIFF BILL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IT,
The Fordney emergency tariff bill
passed the Senate by vote of 43 to
80 and was Immediately sent to the
conference. The bill passed with ten
amendments attached.
Action on the bill, passed by the
House as an aid to the farmer, came
after four Republican Senators broke
away from their party alignment,
and two of them, Edge of New Jer-
sey and Moses of New Hampshire,
bitterly assailed the measure and its
Republican supporters. Likewise, sol
idarity Of the Democratic ranks could
not be maintained, nine minority
members voting for the bill.
Moses attack so unsettled the Re-
publican program that three amend
ments offered by Senator Lodge, the
majority leader, wer killed. From
the time the vote was called on the
Lodge amendments, all Of which had
to do with protection for manufac-
tured products of wool, the Senate
rejected all changes proffered. But
it already had accepted SO many
changes from the House measure that
trouble was predicted in getting an
agreement in conference.
While the Senate was in the throes
of the heated debate on the emer'
gency tariff, the House Ways ant
Means Committee was concluding
open hearings on revision Of the per
manent law. With that work out o.
the way, Chairman Fordney will leav'
late tomorrow for another conference
with President-elect Harding at st
Augustine.

WIFE RACES
WITH DEATH
AND LOSES

Her heart freighted with fear Mrs.
H. H. Daley raced to this city from
her home in Slater, Wednesday after
noon, on special train in an effort
to reach the bedside of her husband,
a Chicago & Alton freight brakeman,
who was fatally injured at Larrabee,
shortly afternoon Wednesday, when
he was caught between two cars.
But she arrived too late to see her
husband alive as his injuries were
such that he succumbed to them
shortly after he was taken to the
Audrain hospital. Trainmaster G. G.
Brown, of Slater, well known in Mex
leo, when he received word Of Daley's
serious condition, arranged for a
special to bring the wife to her hus-
band. But. the efforts of friends and
the ingenuity of man failed in the
race with death.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. Daley formerly re-
sided in Mexico and Mrs. Daley has
the sincerest sympathy of the entire
community in her loss.
The body of Mr.. Daley was taken
to Slater on the 12:40 Thursday af-
ternoon.

CROSS At GLASGOW

People along the "Old Trails" route
are much encouraged over the possi-
bility Of the C. & A. building wagon
driveway on each side of their big
railroad bridge at Glasgow. It has
been unofficially stated that the G. &
A., would not be adverse to building
such an addition to their bridge. With
the heavy traffic>over this route, they
would make good interest on their in
vestment from the tolls collected.
There is little doubt but what the
project can be put over if the people
along the "Old Trails" route will
properly push the matter. To have
| |'the ''oid Trails" route cross at elias,
gov makes the route much shorter be
tween Kansas City and st. Louis thar
| ANY other place it could cross. The
railroad bridge at Glasgow is one o.
The best in the country and driveway
on each side of it could be built easily
and at very reasonable expense

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The life of Washington is story
told to very small children and repeat
ed over and over again until most
people know it by heart. Familiarity
with the various statues and paintings
Of Washington is not so common,
The marble statue in the capitol at
Richmond. va, by the French sculp-
tor, Houdon, from life, must be named
first among the standard hkenesses Of
Washington. Excellent portraits of
him by John Trumbull by both the
Peales and by Gilbert Stuart, are to
be seen in many public galleries.
Stuart's head leaves nothing to be
desired in the way Of dignity and
grandeur,
Among the numerous monuments
that have been erected to his memory
may be mentioned, the noble column in
Baltimore; the colossal statue in the
Capitol grounds at Washington, by
Horatio sGreenough the splendid
group in Richmond, surmounted BY
the equestrian statue, by Thomas
Crawford; the marble statue in the
Massachusetts state in the Massa'
chusetts state house, by Sir Francis
Chantley; and lastly, the matchless
obelisk at Washington, d. G., Of which
the corner stone was laid in 1884 ant
which was defeated on Feb. 81, 1885
as Washington's birthday, Feb. 20 fel
on Sunday that year.

MISS ELIZABETH
SHIRE VICTIM
OF HOLDUP

Miss Elizabeth Shire, daughter of
Mrs. Mike Shire residing at the corner
Of S. Olive street and Central avenue
was held up and robbed Of a diamond
ring Saturday evening between and
0 o'clock. Miss Shire was alone at the
time and sewing in the family sitting
room when the thief, who entered
through the kitchen door, took her
jewelry.
The robber, according to her des-
cription, was slight in build, presum-
ably boy, wearing a dark suit and
cap. He had a black mask over his
face and a revolver in his pocket.
Miss Shire said he approached her
without saying a word, took hold Of
her left hand and pulling the ring,
which was valued at $3.50, from her
finger, turned around and left the
house.
He did not threaten her with his
gun and the robbery was so quiet and
took such short time, she hardly had
time to catch her breath from the
first fright of his appearance when he
was gone.
She ran down town and gave the
alarm. The familiarity with which
the thief entered the house and the
fact that he came when the remain
der of the family was absent, led her
to believe he was familiar with the
house and the life Of the family.
