Reciprocity discussion, begun Satur day furnished an opportunity for the minority leaders to intimate their in tentions and to make it clear That the bill placing on the free list manufac- ; tured articles in demand by the farm- ' ers will be fought as stubbornly as any proposed democratic tariff meas- : ures ever were opposed in congress. ! The majority leaders realize the bill cannot be rushed through, and they j are preparing to meet the assault up on it in a prolonged debate. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee intends to sub mit to the house the committee's re port on the free list bill on the con cluding day of the reciprocity debate, so that it will be over and be called up the following day. The tariff debate, it is expected, will begin at once, and it is the hope of the democrats that the bill can be put upon its passage within two week. The determination of the mi nority leaders to assail it from every angle doubtless will result in keeping the measure before the house for a much longer time. The minority members of the ways and means committee, in considering the proposed free list, voted solidly against it. maintaining it was a hast ily framed measure, ill advised and no: sufficiently backed up with in formation relating to the revenues concerned. Furthermore, it was point ed out that the tari board had not been consulted PEACE TALK IN THE AIR. Hade-o'* Army Reported in Force Near Juarez.

Every muscle of the rigid body collapsed and McCauley hung for a moment, held only by the cords which bound his wrists to the cross. In a second he revived and walked quietly back to the jail. The jail physician declared after ex amination that he had suffered no serious shock. FROG THAT CATCHES BIRDS Shares Fame With Mark Twain’s Jumping Frog of Callaveras County. St. Louis. Mo.—Mark Twain’s Jump ing Frog of Callaveras county may be called upon to share his fame w ith a sparrow--catching frog of St Louis. This frog, which is the property of Oscar Berghaus of Cote Brilliants avenue, has now gone into winter quarters in his owner’s basement, but is expected to renew his activities next spring He was captured near Alton by a St. Louis fisherman. The frog, an enormous fellow, was sun ning himself on a tog The fisherman pushed him off into the water with his pole, but the frog Immediately re turned This was repeated three times, then the fisherman caught his hook in the frog, dragged him ashore, brought him to St. Louis and present ed him to Mr Berghaus Berghaus dug a small pool ta his backyard, built a low fence around it of mesh wire, sowed some grass seed to make it took like a swamp and turned the frog loose there Attracted by tha grass seed some English sparrows he Sparrow Catching Frog. gan to haunt the place, and what was Berghaus' surprise, upon coming home one evening, to have his wife tell him that the frog had been catching the sparrows. He watched them himself and found this to be the case, the frog grabbing a sparrow by the leg whenever one came near him and making a brave fight for an addition to his menu. The sparrows finally be came frightened and quit haunting the frog’s enclosure, whereupon he settled down to a quiet life interrupted only when he was transferred to hi^win ter quarters.

Mass., and a partly finished summer place at Weston. In the sec tion known as -millionaires hill " His career had been meteoric, and like the famous rocket, he ' came down like a stick ' Starting as a moderately-paid clerk in a broker's office he quickly branched out in the brokerage busi ness for himself and is said to hav« made money at a rate almost beyond belief. One of his claims, when suc cess began to be his. was that he was closely allied with J. P. Morgan & Co. and as most of his customers and friends placed implicit confidence in his ability and honest motives, no one thought of questioning this assertion. When the Inquiries were made it took almost no time to prove that J, P. Morgan h- Co never before hail heard of Davie, the Boston broker. One of Davie's strongest points was his apparent—almost too apparent, on second thought—profession of relig t oma* '■ n Rofceri E. Davit. ious feeling He discussed the pro51b ets of the Bible with almost as mud ftuencv as be did the profits of his brokerage investments and with equal ly telling effect upon hts ministers*' and other religiously inclined friends Among Davie's friends in the reiig tous field was the Rev Wilbur R Chapman. D. IX the evangelist fttvie's deceptions and unfair deal tags are said to have had a much wider scope than the stock market especially during the tatter part of his stay' in Boston and when he is be lieved to have been hard pressed fot money. On this latter point, however opinions differ, some claiming that he lost about all that he had obtained and others alleging that he left with a large amount of cash A short time before he disappeared Davie hired an automobile of a Bos ton garage and paid $125 in advance for a week's rental before taking ii to New Tcrk. where it disappeared L»ater it was recovered. At the New York horse show it Madison Square garden. New York city, Davie showed a fine string ol horses and even entered a coach against the Vanderbilts. Later it de veloped that a blooded horse which he exhibited—one which was greatly admired in the show—had been bor rowed from a Boston friend. This ani mal was sold for several thousand dol iars and the owner was not notified ol the transaction. Davie had gone to the Massachu setts state prison and preached to the inmates as one manifestation of his religious fervor after the Chapman Alexander revivals two years ago. After Davie left it became knowr that he had been going with a Welles ley college senior and that they were engaged, the young woman believing that he was a young man of exem plary character. It was a severe shock to the girl when she learned after his disappearance that Davie was married and that his wife, finding it impossible to get along with him after a few months' experience, had returned to the home of her parents in Hyde Park, in which town Davie formerly lived.
