SUBMIT THE FREE LIST BILL.
Report Is Merger of Democratic Doc-
I trine and Analysis of Bill.
1 Washington , April 19. The major
ity report of the ways and means com
mittee on the socalled farmer's free
list bill , submitted to the house today
, by Chairman Underwood , is a merger
of democratic political argument and
analysis of the proposed duty exemp
tions.
i The report shows that the bill would
reduce the tariff revenue $10,016,495 ,
based on the importation for the last
fiscal year , an amount described aa
"inconsiderable In comparison with
the great saving and advantages to
our people with the additions to the
free list provided for. "
Quoting President Taft's recent Ca
nadlan reciprocity speeches , the re
port seeks to convey the impression
i I that the administration is convinced
. that protective tariff rates are toe
high.
"In several public addresses , " il
says , "ho ( the president ) has admit
ted that tariff rates are too high , thai
such rates have resulted in excessive
ly high prices felt especially in the
increased cost of living which now
hears heavily on our people , and thai
they have not received the long prom
ised benefits of domestic competition
under high protective duties. "

The News : Fred Tlnglehoff , a rancl
hand employed on the Kloke ranch

Gross , accidentally shot and killed
himself.

7:30 : In the morning to look ovei
fences. At noon ho bad not yet re
turned and the people at the ranct
house , noticing the team standing sc
long In the same position , began tc
wonder what had delayed him. Golnf
out In search they found him lying un
conscious In the pasture some dls
t tanco from the team. A doctor wai
it once summoned , and upon Invos-
Igatton he discovered n bullet wound
hruugh the abdomen.
The revolver , containing ono shell ,
vas found In the hip pocket. The
vound , which was n little to the loft
uid below the last rib , had bled Inter
nally. A coroner's Inquest was hold
at 8:30 : In the evening and returned a
ordlct of accidental shooting by his
own hand. The direct cause of death
vas the bullet passing through the
stomach and Into the intestine , cans-
a fatal hemorrhage. The hammer
ic had been using was found near the
'once and the body was uomo little
distance from the fence on n slight In
cline , and it Is thought that Tingle-
ioff had tried after the accident to
; nln the elevation and signal for help
rom the house.

; ioff had been shot. Later an Inquest

stomach , accidentally discharged while
in his possession.
The boy's lint and a hammer , which

den taking away Is thought to be pure-
