BIC FIGHT ON BILL
Asphalt Placed on Free List by
Big Vote in House.
Fordney Measure Would Have
Added Millions to Road Costs.

Washington, July 1g.-The house
today transferred asphalt from the
dutiable to the free list in the Ford
ney tariff bill. thus disposing of the
last of the five contested schedules
on which separate votes were per-
mitted. The vote was 123 to 36.
The duty on citric acid was in
creased from 10 cents per pound, as
carried in the Fordney bill, to ~
cents a. pound by the house today.
The increased duty was asked by the
California delegation for the protec-
ton of lemon growers of that state.
The tariff fight in the house went
into the final round today when good
roads advocates took up the cudgels
against the Fordney. bill.
Under the pending bill, asphalt is
placed on the .dutiable list, while pre-
vious tariff bills have carried this
commodity on the free list.
Il was claimed by those favoring
road construction that the duty i'm
posed would add millions to the cost
of road building now planned by the
central states and would defeat the
highway improvements.
CHASING duties on oil and on as
phalt as hostile to construction of
good roads and further development
of motor transportation systems as
adtuncts to railroad carriers, the ru-
raj members OF the mouse lined UP in
opposition and their attacks today on
the committee recommendation were
sharp and vigorous.
Action on the asphalt item will
clear the way for the batch of COM
mittee amendments to the bill, num-
bering more than 200.
Four major items of the bill have
been disposed of by open action in the
house. These were hides, which were
taken from the free list and made
dutiable at Is per cent: chemical
dyes, on which the three year en-
barge subject to control of the tariff
commission was permitted to stand3
oils which were taken from the duti-
able list were put on the free list and
cotton which was taken from the free
list and made dutiable at Is per cent

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
D. E. Garner Identifies Gruber as Ono
of Men Who Held Him Up.

Because he has been identified as
being one of two men who held up and
robbed D. E. Garner. a groceryman,
about three weeks ago, Harry Grdber
found two charges confronting him to-
day when arraigned in the court of To-
peka.
Gruber, who has been rooming at
226 Kansas avenue, was arrested at
noon Monday on charges of having
walked into the Tony Click restaurant
Sunday afternoon and taken $4S from
the two cash registers in the place. A
formal charge of grand larceny was
the result of this affair.
Late Monday afternoon Garner ap-
peared at the sheriff's office and after
giving Gruber. the once over declared
he was one of the men who held him
up, stole his car and left him bound
and gagged short distance southeast
of Topeka the night of July 2. Asa
result of this Identification another
charge, that of first degree robbery,
was placed against Gruber.
Judge Paul Heinz set July 29 as
the date for Gruber's preliminary
hearing, and fixed his bond at $500 on
each charge

DEATH OF M. A. LOW.

tSOneuuen TOM rage ODe-t
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
way.
About 1887 Mr.. Low became presi-
dent and general attorney for all of
the western lines of the Rock Island,
ana when the station building at To-
peka was finished. in the fall of 1887,
ne moved to Topeka, where the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company maintained its general Of
noes until the merger with the Rock
Island system, about 1891.
Retired in 1912,
Mr. Low continued as general at
torney until 1912, when he retired
from active service at the age of 20
years. During his active life he was
also president of the Texas lines of
the Rock Island and superintended
the construction in Texas and New
Mexico.
He had general supervision over
the location and construction of about
one-half of the entire mileage of the
Rock Island railway system, now con-
sisting of more than 5000 miles of
railroad and during all of his active
life, he has been a man of dominant
personality, strict integrity and of
few words.
One of his closest associates says
of him: while to some he appeared
cold and distant. yet to those who
knew him well, he was full of humor,
sympathy, gracious tolerance and the
milk of human kindness.
HE seemed austere, but was uni
fornly just. He was always optf-
mistic as to the future of Kansas and
the southwest. He abhorred sham,
hypocrisy and deceit, and expected
everyone with whom he dealt, to be
open and above board, and strictly
honest and truthful in all dealings
with him and the railroad he repre-
scented.
IF he gave his word he carried out
his agreement to the letter, and ex-
pected others to do the same. He
consistently declined political perfer-
ment, and it is said that he refused
the office of United States senator
when it was offered to him.
HE loved Kansas and the west and
declined promotion on his own rail-
road when such offers contemplated
removal to Chicago or the east. His
hobbies were love of horses, the RATS
ing of flowers, and during his later
years, after his retirement from rail-
road work, he was fond of golf.''
On February IA, 1867, Mr.. Low was
married to Miss Diantha L. Hovey, of
Belvidere, Ill.
Mr.. Low was a delegate to the Re-
publican national conventions of 1876.
1900 and 1904. He was at one time
president of the Topeka board of park
commissioners, and was also president
of the Topeka Public Library associa-
ton.

OUT AFTER DRUG PEDDLERS
CHIEF Of Police Appeals to District At
torney for Federal Aid.

Unable to cope with the situation
because of lack of city and state laws,
Guy Swallow, chief of police, today
appealed to Al F. Williams, United
States district attorney, for federal aid
in handling drug peddlers and adj
diets.
Swallow called the new district at
torney by long distance telephone and
asked his cooperation in driving the
dope peddlers from this city. He says
that Williams promised to investigate
the matter thoroly and report to. him
within a few, days. He says that Will
liams intimated that Lis action might
be based largely upon the support he
can obtain from the federal authorities
in Kansas City, where. most of the
trouble is said to emanate.
I'VE have no city or state laws to
handle the dope peddlers," said Chief
Swallow, in discussing the matter
them out of Topeka and keep them
out is thru federal assistance.
I'VE have been arresting these ped
dlers and dope fiends for long time,
but we have to turn them loose
within short time because we can't
obtain convictions. We have a dozen
peddlers and dope fiends in Jail right
now and we don't know what to do
with their.
when Fred Robertson was district
attorney, he ruled that we had to
have three witnesses to prove a sale,
which meant no assistance from the
federal authorities because it is prac-
tically an impossibility to obtain three
such witnesses in any case"
Chief Swallow says that while the
situation has been described as being
unusually bad here, Topeka is no
worse than any of the other towns
of this size.

The United States never has tried
to do business on the pasis of free
competition with the rest of the world
Fear of foreign goods always has led
to a demand for what is called protec-
ton. For all the so-called protection
our markets have had the consumers
in this country have paid}dearly. The
great need at this time is not the ex-
clusion OF foreign goods in any such
fashion. but the actual encouragement
of imports, together with the finding
of new markets for exports, until the
balance of trade has been restored to
a normal status. Even a large ir-
crease in imports should not bring
about a terrified stampede to out
grown ways and means. Industry will
be prosperous in proportion as it de-
velops on an honestly competitive ba-
sis, instead of such a basis of artificial
subsidy as high tariff

a statement issued in New York re-
Gently by the Association of Railway
Executives, shows that extensive re-
auctions in freight rates have been
made by the railroads of the country
since the general increase authorized
by the interstate commerce commits
sion last year. According to the as
sociation's report, up to June several
thousand reductions have been made
in eastbound rates, 1872 reductions
in westbound rates and 100 reductions
in export and import rates. The re-
auctions affected iron and steel, graiu,
food products and other basic COM
modities. These reductions, perhaps,
account in considerable measure for
the increase in traffic recently mani
fest turnout the country. A large
reduction in the number of idle cars
is announced. If the roads continue
to mako reductions their business
soon may return to normal, both as
regards freight hauled and money
taken in. A lowering of passenger
rates probably would aid in reaching
a profitable basis of operation. In
this the government coul6@help by re-
moving the revenue tax and the tax
on Pullman fares.

Secretary Hoover finds that there
has been a tendency during the past
few years for the savings of the peo-
pie to find their way into commercial
paper, bonds and similar securities
rather than into home building. while
a critical housing situation has de-
veloped, with about III families for
each 100 homes. The chief reliance
of the country in the necessary financ-
ing of homo building, in the opinion
of Mr.. Hoover, must be the savings
institutions, with a total of $4,000.

He believes it will be found that the
savings department of national banks.
state banks, trust companies and in
surance companies probably do MOI
loan more than 10 or Is per cent of
their savings assets to housing. Mr..
Hoover has suggested that 40 or so
per cent of the nearly s16O.OO0,O 900
OF deposits in postal savings banks
could be diverted to this purpose as
well as larger proportion of the saw
ings deposits of national banks thru
amendment to the federal reserve act
further inquiry probably would re-
veal to Mr.. Hoover the fact that build

available funds, but by the high cost
OF construction. Anybody who wants
