Of Goes father.
This, Coe said, he refused to do, in
the face of repeated threats, and that
finally the man grew weary of the at
tempt to obtain a ransom request from
him, removed him from the room and
drove with. him back to Washington,
first blfndfolding him with his own
handkerchief.
Coe could not give an inkling of
where he had been held prisoner, al
though the trip back required about
the same time it would take to drive
from Philadelphia.
The $40 which, Coe had with him
when he left Washington, Coe charged,
was missing when he awoke prisoner.
Coe said he did not know what had be-
come of his automobile.

TESS SEES TARIFF
AS BIG TRADE AID
New Head of G. O. P. De-
CIares Americans viii Rebuke
Foreign Antagonist.

Increased foreign trade under the
new tariff law was predicted today by
Senator Simeon D. Tess of Ohio, new
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, who declared that efforts
to stir foreign antagonism on this sub
iect will be rebuked by the American
people.
The statement of the Ohio Senator
indicated that he is ready to enter
vigorously upon his work as head of
the national Republican group, to
which he was appointed at a meeting
of the executive committee yesterday,
following the retirement of former
Chairman Claudius Huston
every foreign country possessed OF
productive resources tends to follow
our lead in stimulating home produc-
ton in the interest of employment OF
its labor" Senator Fess said. over
30 nations have adopted in some form
the protective system. Even leaders In
Great Britain, the leading free trade
country of the world, have in recent
years agitated the issue and will soon
attempt to adopt form OF protectlon.
This has no more reference to re-
taliation against us than has our legls-
lation any retaliatory element against
them, 1t is not only the right OF each
country. but in case it stimulates home
employment it will be wholly Justineo
from their standpoint, and, In turn, by
Increasing their purchasing power, IL
will rebound to our benefit. Prosperity
of foreign countries will be reflected IN
our favor by an increased purchasing
power for consumption needs, which We
will continue to supply.
1.-The recent propaganda IN Canada as
a partisan issue will have no more eHect
there than the similar propaganda Tor
the same purpose in this country Will
have here. ,.
every campaign conducted on behalf
of foreign rather than American inter-
ests has had but one result. The pres
emit will be no exception. Examination
of the recent law demonstrates 1t to be
as former protective measures which
will show increased foreign trade both
in imports and exports. We will con-
tinue to import our needs we cannot
produce, two-thirds of which, under the
present law, will come in duty free. We
will also continue to supply the world
with the goods they must import in
Increased quantities. This is the SIM
ple lesson of all protection measures,
which in this, as in former cases, is the
answer to the partisan statements
couched in identical terms of former
utterances against former protective
measures"

MILK PRICE GOES UP;
DROUGHT is BLAMED
New York Health Officer Denies
Shortage Claimed by
Dealers.
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. August 8.-The first d.
rect effect of the drought was reflected
here today when milk dealers announced
an increase Of cent quart in the
price of milk, to be put into effect Mon
day.
The price to consumers was ordered
up after the Dairymen's League Coop
erative Association announced an in
crease of 81 cents per hundred pounds
in the wholesale price. The raise was
ascribed to drought conditions, which
have reduced pasturage and required
feeding of grain to dairy herds.
The Dairymens League said the sup
ply of milk coming into the city had
fallen IL per cent below normal, and
there was danger of a larger reduc-
ton in the supply.
The assertion that there was a short
age was disputed by Henry Lemkuhl,
Health Department representative in
charge of food supplies. He said:
THE normal supply of milk is enter
ing this city daily, and IS far as We
can find out there is no shortage. New
York has an adequate supply Of milk for
its present needs, and there Is appar-
emily no reason why the supply should
not remain adequate for the next two or
three weeks"

APPROVE PURCHASE
OF FORD BUILDING
District Heads Authorize
Transaction at Agreed
Figure of $3.50, 600.

The District Commissioners today
authorized the purchase of the Ford
Building, at John Marshall place and
Pennsylvania avenue, as part of the
new Municipal Center tract.
This is the largest single purchase to
be made thus far in connection with
acquiring the civic center property, as
the price agreed upon was $550000.
The offer of the property at this price
was made two days ago by B. ]. Craig.
secretary of the Ford company, and the
Commissioners decided to close with it
today The Ford company is to be al
lowed to keep possession of the build
ing, rent free, until January 81, 1882,
on which day the company agrees to
surrender possession.
The property consists of a lot of
1888 square feet, improved with
first-class building used by the Ford
concern Tor show rooms and office
headquarters.
At the same time, the Commissioners
authorized purchase of a site in Mary
land containing ZIG acres, for use in
building of q tuberculosis Sanitarium.
The property on the Defense High
way near Randle Station on the Wash
ington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric
Railway line to Annapolis, is to be ac-
quired for $4,000, or approximately
$3.50 per acre.
The site, aboAt IL miles from Wash
ington, was recommended to the Com
missioners by special committee ap-
pointed by them for the purpose after
an examination of more than 100 pro-
posed sites. The property was con-
sidered good buy, as previous esti-
mates had called for $4,000 for the
purchase of the land. Some of the
property is now under lease to the De-
partment of Agriculture, but arrange
ments have been made to terminate
those leases. The property is to be
bought from its present owner, Mar
garet r. Sharman.
The Ford Building has q current as
sessed value of 1916, $3.50, the land being
valued for taxation purposes at $780,
$50, and the building at $4,000.
r. B. English, local manager of the
Ford Co., said today that the agree
ment reached with the District govern
ment gave the Ford Co. the right to
occupy the building for % months.

DROUGHT INCREASES
PARK FIRE DANGER
Col. Grant and Gartside Warn
Public to Take Every
Precaution.

On account of the prolonged drought,
which has caused the grass, leaves and
twigs Of trees in the park to dry up to
an unusual extent, a special fire warn
ing was issued today by Lieut.. Col. U.
5. Grant, Sd, director of public build
side, chief Of the park division. They
asked that every one be very careful not
to throw lighted matches or cigarette
butts into any of the dried grass
leaves u twigs in the city parks.
Col. Grant said that the condition
the drought had created was of I'M
usual danger this year. With trees very
dry, fre might even be started which
would be difficult to put out and which
might cause damage that could not be
repaired for many years, in case some
OF the larger trees were killed by the
flames.
