LINCOLN. March 23. (Special. )-Senator Bartos of Saline county secured a favor uble recommendation today for 8. F. 311, which will prevent stock life insurance companies from declaring more than 8 per cent dividends to the stockholders and will prevent stockholders accepting bonuses and the like in addition to dividends. He made a fight equal in Intensity to the one he directed toward the present system of mu tual insurance now in force, but this time more successful, as the senate recom mended the bill for passage. j Senator Myers of Rock county was quick to move to postpone, whereupon Senator Bartos referred to a brief on the subject citing figures from Nebraska companies and alleging there Is need to enact laws to prevent before It takes place wholesale treasury emptying that took place In east ern states In the big old line companies before the Insurance investigation. He cited figures from the statements of one eastern life company to show that now It Is paying Its stockholders 17 per cent on the original Investment and the policyholders 1'4 per cent. He said the Bankers' Ulfe company of Nebraska was the only stock life company paying 6 per cent to stockholders and the two other stock companies were paying less, one nothing as yet. But he said there were indications and rumors that convinced him the law was a necessity. Ransom and King supported Bartos and Tlbbets and Myers opposed, as did Brown and Howell. TBt bill originally provided for a maxi mum Interest rate of per cent, but Sen ator Buck of Otoe succeeded In securing: an amendment to 8 per cent and the bill was amended not to apply to -dividends paid on policies held by stockholders.

He wants, he says, to get into com munication with the abductors and baa discharged all the police and the detectives In his employ. Mr. Whitla also conveys the Information that he has offered no re ward, nor does he Intend to do so. All that he wants, he says, Is the boy and he Is willing to deal with the kidnapers and pay the 110,000 ransom at any time. In conclusion the statement Is to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Whitla are holding up as well under the circumstances as could be expected. Up to 1 o'clock this afternoon nothing has been heard from the three squads of state constabulary who are engaged In running down promising clues In this city and vicinity. New Hope Held Oat. It was reported here shortly be fore 11 o'clock that the Whitla family have assurances that Willie Whitla will bo returned within forty-eight hours. It Is said another letter has been received directing in what manner the money shall be paid. All details of the negotiations are being carefully guarded, however. F. H. Buhl, millionaire uncle of the boy, and several detectives attended the con ference this morning In Mr. Whltla's office. Mr. Buhl left the office several times and a half doaen telegrams were sent. What plan Is on foot could not be learned. How ever, It Is said Important development! are expected within a short time. Mr. Whitla admitted today the Ashtabula (O.) story Is correct. He said he had the ran som of J10.000 with him in that city for the kidnapers. It was also leerned that the abductors, In their letter, had Instructed him to have the money In the denomina tions pf fives, tens and twenties. Mr. Whitla Is near collapse now. Hla wife Is bearing up well under the belief that the boy will soon be returned. It Is believed, however, that another disappointment, such as the Ashtabula one, will cause serious consequences at far aa the boy's mother Is concerned. Letter Believed to Be Test. It is admitted today that the abductors have taken preliminary steps to give the boy back for the ransom of $10,000. The affair at Ashtabula, U., Saturday night and early Sunday morning Is believed to have been directed by the kldnapera only for the reason of discovering whether Mr. Whatla ia sincere In his Intention to pay the money. It la the general opinion now that tha abductors had no thought of surrendering the lad at Ashtabula, but were endeavoring to satisfy themselves that Mr. Whitla will secretly pay the money for the return of his boy. It Is also believed the kidnapers will communicate with Mr. Whitla In the near future for the purpose of getting the $10,000. The attitude of Mr. Whitla In se cretly depositing the ransom at Ashtabula Is an evidence that all he wants Is the child and that the abductors need not fear prosecution from him. It Is said that owing to orders received from Harrlsburg, Pa., the state police who have started Into the northeast territory are believed to be Investigating a story made known here today. According to thla story, an old man who has lived alone two and a half mollea from Sharon disap peared Thursday and has not been seen since. It li said that on Thursday, the day Willie WMtla was kidnaped, a man In a rig drove to the house of the old man and then both drov away. Stranger 'Phoned Bmlth Honse. ASHTABUIA, O.. March 22.-I. A. Whit aker Informed the police today that ha overheard a stranger telephone to the Smith house Saturday night about 9 p. m. from the store of his brother, F. W. Whttaker. The stranger asked If a letter had been left for C. A. White and then said this letter would be called for by a man arriv ing on a Lake Shore train. Shortly after J. D. Whitla arrived from Sharon, went to the Bmlth house and Inquired for this let ter. The stranger tallies with a descrip tion of tha man who sent tha boys Into the hotel wtlh the letter. He was five feet seven Inches In height, weighed about 150 pounds and was between 35 and 40 years old. He wore a dark gray suit and black derby hat. The store from which the mes sage was telephoned is near Flat Iron park, where the $10,000 was deposited. TO CXTKK A UILD t OH B DAT Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quins Tablets.

BID FOR CUSTOMS WAR It la Alleared that Proponed Meeaare Will Hreatl? Increase the tost of I. iTlnn Bitter Attack on Many Sections. WASHINGTON'. Mnrch K. - That the Payne tariff bill will Increase the cost of living; that It Is crude. Indefinite, sectional and prohibitive and that It la an open chal lenge to a trade war with every other na tion on earth, are some of the criticisms of that measure msde by 'the democratic mem bers of the ways and means committee in the minority report submitted to the house by iMnority Leader Champ Clark today. The report Is a severe arraignment of the revision which the Payne bill proposes. The countervailing duty provisions for cof fee and petroleum, the maximum and mini mum features, the Cuban reciprocity clause, the woolen, glass, agricultural and sugar schedules are- bitterly attacked. "There are many changes, for the most part minor changes," Bays the report, "of tha Dlnglry rates, some up and some down. Most of the changes In a downward direc tion are more apparent than real, the Payne rates being aa prohibitive In their results In many cases as the Dlngley rates. In some of the schedules containing the most ex orbitant rates there are bo changes giving any appreciable relief to tha great body of consumers." Declaring tariff la'a tax paid by the consumer and that the only function of a tariff law Is to raise revenue to supply the needs of the government, the minority members cf the committee Insist that In stead of an Incrcae of taxes for a ney Issue of bonds, the correct remedy for the grow ing deficiency in the irevenu.es tls the cutting down of the expenses of running the government. . Bid for Tariff War. Continuing the criticism of the Payne bill, the report says: ' J "Tha whole maximum and minimum tar iff scheme as st forth In the P;iyne bill enables foreign countries to force us to raise the rates of the Payne schedules 20 per cent, which would, 'after making ample allowance for all reductions in the Payne bill, increase our tariff rates on the aver age much above the rates of the Dlngley lnw, a prospect which will bring sorrow and dismay to the great body of the peo ple. We are mosi heartl!y In favor of such a maximum and minimum tariff as will enable our government to negotiate tariff arrangements by making concessions to other governments by . reducing the rates of our statute, when such other countries will make equally valuable concessions to us; the maximum, rates should be the rates of our statutes, whatever they are and tha minimum a reasonable rate below our statutory rates; but as It stands, the maxi mum and minimum tariff plan of the Payne bill Is an open challenge to a trade war with every other 'nation on earth, ft Is seeking trade with a club or meat ex. We are opposed to such an unwise and unneces sary performance. "In this connection It may be well to ponder thoroughly our relations with Cuba. Does any sane man suppose for a moment that the great commercial nations, our competitors for the world' trade, will con cede that Cuba Isone-' of pur dependencies.' It Is a thing Incredible, To ask that ques tion Is to answer ,lt. , "The bill Is, in me.nyf. respects, crude. In definite, section and prohibitive. It seems to us from our examination, which was necessarily bagty, that on tnc whole It in creases the cost cf living. For example. It will Increase the rice of hosiery about 30 per cent, and certainly no b-dy will claim that hosiery Is a luxury In thla day and generation. Io numerous Instances the pro tectlon exceeds the. entire labor cost of production." PAYNE OPENS TARIFF DEBATE (Continued from First Page.) minimum. No tariff, he declared, could be revised without halting business. He de clared the revenues; were not keeping up with the expenditures and that the time had come to hunt for more revenues. He attributed the loaof revenue to the busi ness disturbances of 1907 and 19(16. Mr. Payne declared that the maximum and minimum feature of the bill was not a trick, as, he said, had been charged. Great Britain would come In at the minimum rates." Is there a 'man within the sound of my voice," he exclaimed, "who does not know that France and Germany, seeking our trade, will immediately avail them selves of the minimum rates which we offer In section 1 of this act? We give them the opportunity to put themselves on an equality with Great Britain." He de clared that It was absolutely certain that the great nations of the earth would take advantage of tho opportunity afforded them. nbstltato for fleetlon Poor. At this point Mr. Payne offered a substi tute for section 4 of the bill. The substi tute is intended to dispose of the criticism that haa been made that the maximum duties would apply against a province or colony which discriminates In its tariff in favor of the mother country. It was con tended that this would be unfair, as the bill provides for the free entry of Amer ican goods and products Into the Philip pine Islands. Tlie substitute provides that the maximum duties imposed by the bill should not apply to the cases where the preferential duties to other countries are ! those glvenvhy a province, dependency or colony to a mother country only. The sub stitute excepts the Philippine Islands from Its provisions. Mr. Rucker of Missouri asked Mr. Payne If It was so that tha liquor Interests were strongly represented at Washington during the preparation of the bill and exerted their Influence to prevent an additional liquor tax. Mr. Payne declared that no such lobby appeared before the committees nor had any briefs been filed with It bearing on the subject. That the Michigan delegation will make A MENTAL MARTINI of health and strength POSTUM In place of coffee. "There's fx Ke.ton" an erforl io have Iron ore taken off cf the free list, where It Is placed by the Payne bill, became evident when Mr. Young of Michigan, Interrupting, attacked the tti mony of Chairman Gary of the lvard of directors of the t'nlted States Steel cor poration before the committee. Mr. Young declared that Judge Gary's statement th.it royalty of 10 cents per Ion was paid on Iron ore about 1S?7 was misleading. Long before 1S97," said Mr. Young, "leases were frequently made at the rate of 78" cents rcr ton royalty and I know of only one case where 10 cents a ton royalty was paid. That was for low grade ore which was very hard to gel at." Mr. Kandell of Texas asked Mr. Paj,ne If the placing of Iron ore on the free list did not practically give to certain furnaces along the Atlantic coast the revenue which has been produced by Iron ore duties. Mr. Payne admitted that the furnaces on the coast would get the benefit of the re duction. From Iron ore the discussion for the mo ment turned to tobacco. Mr. James of Kentucky wanted to know why the tax had not been removed from tobacco In the hand or In the manufactured state Inasmuch as the committee on ways and means had three times reported that proposition fa vorably for the protection of the farmers In their fight against the "Tobacco trust." Mr. Payne replied that there was no use loading down the bill. Mr. Payne parried a question by Mr. Garner of Texas If the bill would be ren dered amenable by amendment by asking that he be allowed to get through with his remarks. When Mr. Payne took his seat he was ac corded an ovation by his republican col leagues. INDIANS IN DANGER BY FLOOD High Water Drives Settlers Rear Yankton Agency to Hills. SIOUX FALLS. 8. D., March -(Special.) As a result of the present high water In the Missouri river and the form ing of a huge Ice gore the Sioux Indians and white settlers living along the Mis souri river In Charles Mix county, In the vicinity of the Yankton Indian agency, have been having all sorts of experiences during the last week. A number of the settlers lost consider able stock and grain, while others were fortunate enough to remove their stock and other movable property to the higher ground after the water commenced to raise and before It was high enough to prevent their escape. A number of the Indians who resided close to the river bank were taken un awares by the rapid rise of the water and escape was cut off. They were forced to take refuge on the roofs of their dwell ing houses, from which perilous position they were rescued by boats after many hours of tedious waiting for the arrival of the rescuers, who werp forced to make their way through masses of floating Ice with th danger every moment of their frail craft being dashed to nieces and the occupants drowned.

Dakota Hanks Handle Warrant. PIERRE, S. D., March 22.-(Special.)-The placing of $500,000 of state revenue warrants In South Dakota banks at a rato of 3 per cent Interest Is an evidence which Is practical that the state has put Itself In position where It need not depend upon eaatern financial concerns for or dinary business transactions. Bidders were here from Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Des Moines and Sioux City with bids ranging from 4 per cent up to 5 per cent and higher, but when the South Dakota banks came In with their rates the east ern Investors quit the field. They could i ot understand the situation, and one of the Chicago representatives said: "The banks of this state must have money to burn to take the securities at that rate, as they could not get the money at so low a j figure to take up the securities. ' Most of the warrants went to Black llllla hanks, which were willing to take them at the low rate. Old Capitol Rnlldlntr Demolished. IOWA CITY. Ia..
