said that she had been in once before
had seen the ghost and was no longer
consumed with curiosity. In fact. sne
said that she was consumed only with
the desire to get away from the place
and stay away. This she did as soon
as she had pointed out the house.
But the ten people from Newark, hav-
ing lived in Jersey for many years and
being hard to frighten, went up the hill.
1t was an eerie place set in weird sur
roundings, and as If by arrangement
the sun went behind clouds as they be-
gan to climb toward the somber build
ing, half hidden in the trees. on the
side of the hill. Unconsciously they
talked in whispers as they neared the
abiding place of the old woman's ghost
They went into the house on tiptoe.
After the adventure of the foot
through the floor the party went up
stairs. They got into the room where
the ghost is said to show itself most
frequently. For some time nothing hap
pened. Then from a corner came a
noise as IL some one was threshing at
a box with a rattan whip. Then there
was an unearthly moaning from the
same place and demoniac laughter.
These were terrifying noises but the
thing that happened next was more ter
rifying.
The whipping and the noises ceased
and from the same corner rose cloud
of steam. This circled about. waving
in wind that did not blow upon the
mortals shivering near the door. slt was
shot through with CLEANS of sunlight.
It wavered upward. becoming elongated
as 1t rose until it began TO assume the
form of human being.
This, the Jerseyites felt was enough.
They ran pel nell down the stairs, and
behind them they heard the whipping
on the box. the moaning ard the weird
laughter. But once out in the sunshine
they heard nothing. Lushear snapped
a photograph, which in the foreground
shows the shadowy. vapory form or
human being. When the picture was
taken, the human eyes could see nothing
between the camera and the house.

For Moderate Tnrin.

Il have voted for good many para

II have been anxious to have tariff
bill which l could support. I have al
ways been in favor of moderate pro-
tective tariff and at the Chicago con-
vention was on the Committee of Re-
think it was an amendment of mine
that was adopted-in securing the de-
claration that the measure of protec-
ton should be the difference in the cost
of production here and abroad In
many paragraphs of this bill the rates
exceed that degree Of protection and to
my mind profits have been included.
This bill. as 1t has been arranged
by the Finance Committee, is an in
crease over the rates of the House bill
and the bill in it's entirety is more
radical and more extreme measure so
far as protection is concerned than even
the Payne Aldrich law.
1T seems that the wool men In the
four or five Western States where the
sheep are kept on the ranges, much Of
which are to considerable extent Gov
ernment lands, control the subject of
the tariff on wool.
II desire to remind the Senate of the
fact that while States like New Mexico

Protection Runs Mad.


II had hoped that protection would

a modification; but every once in a
while 1t seems that the Finance Commit
tee meets. and they come In here with
their program for an increase or a

my life saw such swarm of men as
were around the Finance Committee
while they had this bill before them.
Day after day they came there with
their handbags; they swarmed In the
corridor. and the bill indicates that most
of them got their work into the bill.
II am very sorry that the committee
has gone to such extremes. Take this
wooden schedule. II is in one respect
more important TO the American con-
sumer than any other schedule in the
bill.
II come from an agricultural state
and even have thought that the duties
on some of the agricultural products in
this bill were too high. think the
duty In the Payne-Aldrich bill was 90
cents bushel for wheat. II seemed 10
me that that was ample protection, and
yet In this bill they put 80 cents a
bushe on wheat. and on the other GER
eals-flax, oats and barley--they have
gone to extreme lengths, unnecessarily
So suppose II is to make a big show

believe they will get all that excessive
duty in one form or another, and 10
make ii easier for the farmer TO swal-
