SENTIMENT IS MUCH CHANGED
resident's Clear Cat statement
I'roTM Hard Blow to Standpat
Element In Both Hoaaea
of Congress.
WASHINGTON. July 17 President Taft
will win hla fight (or free, or reduced rate
of Jul)- on, raw material.
Nearly every member of the conference
on the tariff bill conceded thla today. The
Indication arc that when the new tariff
till becomes a law the rates on the article
Milch the president desired to come In fraa
(".ill be aa follows:
Iron ore, free; present duty, 40 cents a
ton.
Oil, free; now protected by a countervail
ing duty.
Hides, 7H per cent; present rate, 15 per
tent.
Coal. 4!i cents a ton; present rate, 67
cents a ton.
Lumber, probably $1 IS a thousand for
rough, with senate rates for finished
product. This woulld mean a material re
duction throughout the lumber schedule.
Taft Convinces Them.
When the conferees transferred to the
president's shoulders the responsibility of
putting; the foregoing raw materials on the
free list It was not believed he would meet
wl(h much success In bringing about a
changed sentiment In relation to these
articles. For several days, however, mem
bers of congress have been going to the
White House, and not a few of them came
away convinced that the president was
right In Instating that all of these articles
could stand lower duties.
It was not believed he would be able to
put hides, lumber or coal on the free list,
but It was acknowledged that any reduc
tion In rates of the pending bill on these
articles would amount to an administra
tion triumph. In effect the president
was told by the conferees that If Iron ore,
oil, coal, hides or lumber were put on the
fr e list or the rates reduced below the
figures adopted In the senate he would
"have to get the votes."
It was recognised that It would be Im
possible to put hides, lumber and coal on
the free list, If the conference report was
to be adopted by the senate. Neither was
It believed rates on these articles could be
reduced.
Nfh j;HnaA.D( gent meat.
That a change of sentiment had taken
place lr. thu senate in the matter of free
Iron or and fret oil was a matter of com
mon ttOHnlp about the rapltol today. It
was stated Jut as confidently that the IS
net cent ad valorem rate on hides would
have to be cut In half, althougu some I
opponents to the proposition of putting!
hides on the free list are still hopeful of
retaining a rate as high as 10 per cent.
Coal at 45 cents a ton, It waa declared,
would piove satisfactory to every section
except Wyoming, which fears that the In
dustry in that state might be ruined by
cheap Canadian onl. Two railroads are
now building ftom northwestern states to
Canada, which will tap the Canadian coal
fields. Senator Clark and Representative
Mondell of Wyoming are protesting against
any reduction from tne present rate of t7
cents a ton, I'l spite of the fact that the
senate adootsd a tiO-ccnt rate.
It Is understood that the 45-cent rate. If
adopted, will provide for no change In the
existing rate of 15 cents a ton on slack,
but that the Elklns amendment providing
that this rate shall apply only to natural
slack, shlppod fir such at the mines, will
be accepted.
Taft Wins for Philippines.
President Taft will win another decided
victory In tha Philippine free trade pro
vision. The subcommittee, which has been
considering this section, has derided to
permit the free admission of 150,00,000 ci
gars annually as requested by the presi
dent, Instead of 70,000,000 as would be ad
mitted under the senate, amendment,
adopted at the Instance of Mr. La Follette.
It is expected that the Philippine section,
as approved by the subcommittee, will be
adopted by the conferees Monday. It pro
vides for the free admission of SOO.OOO
pounds of wrapper tobacco, 1.500,000 pounds
of filler tobacco and SOO.OOO tons of sugar.
With the exception of lice and the limi
tation placed upon tobacco and sugar, ail
articles "the growth, product, or manu
facture of the Philippine Islands" will be
admitted free.
The Inclusion of the words "or manufac
ture" Is the subject of criticism In many
quarters. Many members of congress think
they would make It possible to ship raw
materials Into the Philippine Islands for
manufacture with cheap labor, and then
bring them to the United States free of
duty. As originally adopted by the house,
and later Introduced In the senate, the
Philippine section contained a provision
requiring that manufactured article. In
order to 6btaln the benefit of the free ad
mission Into the United States should not
contain Ingredients other than products of
the Islands.
Bond laano Authorised.
By action taken today the tariff conferees
settled the quejtlon of giving the secretary
of the treasury authority to Issue fifty-
year bonds at a rate of Interest not exceed
ing S per cent, to cover the entire cost of
purchasing the site and constructing the
Panama canal. An amendment to the tar
iff bill giving the authority waa prepared
by Secretary McVeagh, and delivered to
Representative Payne at the Treasury de
partment during the noon recess. It was
adopted when the conference waa resumed
after luncheon.
The effect of the bond provision la to
repeal the limit, of the authorisation, coo
talned in the Spooner act. although not In
terferlng with the 1 per cent bonds issued
under that authority to tha amount of

MINEOLA. N. Y., July 17. A climax to
the aeroplane flights Olenn H. Curtis has
been making a Hampstead Plains, L. I.
came with Increasing success today, when
he sent his flyer 24.7 miles In t minutes
and 90 seconds and qualified as the first
candidate for the cup offered by the Scien
tific American.
This flight Is not only Curtiss' best, but
Is the longest made with an aeroplane In
America this year. The cup for which the
aviators tried was offered for the longest
flight of this kind during the current year,
the only condition beitig that the winner
must cover at least twenty-five kilometers
over a measured course before judges of
the Aero Club of America and land within
100 meters of the starting point. Curtiss
came to earth today barely within the re
quired distance, but the Judges decided
that he had complied with all the terms
of the competition.
He will win the Scientific American cup
which he captured last year at Hammonds
port. N. T.. unless his flight Is excelled
before the end of the year.
The flight, although made at an early
morning hour, was witnessed by 2.000 peo
ple Curtis rose easily and circled the
course at a variety of altitudes. At times
his speed Increased to 45 miles an hour,
but the average for the whole distance was
twenty-eight and one-fourth miles an hour.
At no time did he rise above sixty feet.
Noble Suicide
Enamored of
Chicago Girl
Baron Rothschild's People Oppose His
Marriage, and He Ends
His Life.
CHICAGO, July 17 Dr. Rudolph Menn
of this city tonight declared that Baron
Oskar Rothschild, the youngest son of
Baron Rothschild of Vienna, had killed
himself because of his family's opposi
tion to his marriage with Olga Menn,
the . physician's young and beautiful
daughter.
The doctor told of his daughter meettng
with the young baon when he arrived
In Chicago with a party of friends on
their way to Europe from the orient alx
weeks ago. A friend of the nobleman's
waa taken HI and was sent to the Ger
man hospital. Iir. Menn Is a staff .phy
sician. The baron met the doctor's
daughter, and from that first meeting
they were together much of the time
that the young man was In Chicago.
Not more than ,a week after meeting
Miss Menn, tha doctor said, Rothschild
proposed marriage. He was accepted and
left soon after for Vienna, with the prom
ise that Miss Menn and her mother would
follow. He expected that hla father would
not consent to his marriage with an
American girl, but hoped that the young
woman's beauty Would win him over. The
baron cabled to his father, but the reply
was not enthusiastic. Young Rothschild
then wanted to marry Miss Menn at once,
but Dr. Menn refused to allow this, and
the baron sailed for Europe to plead with
his father. A short time ago the girl
and her mother sailed.
Baron Albert Rothschild will meet them
and take care of them until Dr. Menn can
reach the other side.

One Man Who Resists Them Is Shot
Dead aa an Rumple to Others,
After Which Bandit
Ride Away.
RERUN. July 17 Rrlgands held the
highway between Augustomo and Llpsku,
on the Russo-German frontier, all day
Tueeday of this week and captured fifty
or Mxty travelera, whom they robbed of
large sums of money.
Most of the victims were horse dealers
going to the annual horse market at
Llpsku. It Is estimated $35,000 was taken.
The road agents are believed to be the
same men who have committed numerous
robberies throughout a wide district on the
frontier.
One of the recent exploits of the robbers
was to capture a tollgate bouse. They
bound the keeper and his wife and sta
tioned one of their number, dressed In th
gatekeeper's uniform, beside the gat.
Peasants were allowed to pass on the pay
ment of the usual fee, but when a prosperous-looking
traveler or anyone bound for
Llpsku came along a signal was given and
the man was attacked by the bandits con
cealed In the house. The victims wet
bound and robbed of their cash and then
locked In the attic of the house or . an
outbuilding.
After forty persons had been robbed th
bandits gathered together the best horses
and made their departure, but before they
left they shot dead, in sight of the others,
a man named Fahl of Augustomo, who had
offered resistance. The son of the gate
keeper returned late in the afternoon and
released the prisoners.
The German government haa taken up
the matter with the Russian authorities.

the work Mr. Ryder said:
'I have ever found the business men of

like saving they are the best on earth.
With one exception, we have been re

have been given for liberal amounts. The
one exception Is a man well able to give
and who will, reap benefit, but perhaps
we struck him at that particular moment
that everybody experiences now and again,
when all the world looks wrong.
"Messrs. Bacon and Zlmman will Join

among th business men, and the newspa

for the canvassing committees in good

that haa been going on her within the
eighteen or twenty months last past, to

Easy to Comply
with Earnings Law,
Says Wickersham
Attorney General Declares Any Cor
poration Keeping True Books
Can Comply with Law.
WASHINGTON, July 17. Declaring that
any corporation which "keeps Just and
true books of account" can make up the
return required by the proposed corpora
tion tax law and meettng other attacks
on, that measure, Attorney General Wicker
sham tWTsy "made public a letter he haB
written to a 'Wall street firm of account
ants who challenge some provisions of the
proposed law a "absolutely Impossible of
application."
The firm addressed is Deloltte, Plender,
Griffiths ft Co. of New York.
Attorney General Wickersham point out
that the proposed law does not Impose
a tax on "profits," but on "the entire net
Income over and above 18,000 received by
the corporation, " Joint stock company or
association or Insurance company subject
to the law from all sources during such
year."
"It has been the uniform practice of the
government In framwig up revenue bills,"
he added, "to require the tax to be paid
as of a fixed date, and so far as I have
been able to ascertain In every Instance
the tax Is Imposed for th calendar year
ending December 31. Such was the Income
tax law of 1894. It may be Inconvenient,
but it Is certainly not Impossible for any
corporation which keeps Just and true
books of account to make up a return
such as that required by the proposed
law, particularly as the return requires
statements of actual' receipts and pay
ments and not as recommended In your
communication of 'expenses Incurred,' 'In

Dlnuzzo's place was raided, and who was

The case turned out to be th word of the

and therefore no other evidence, so th
case waa dismissed.
neads Dlnusso Decision.
Police Judge Crawford'a decision on the
Dlnuzzo case, which he read in court
Saturday morning, began as follows:
"This case Is Submitted upon a question
of law. The evidence, uncontradicted,
clearly shows that th defendant sold
liquor after 8 o'clock p. m., on the 10th of
July. The defense rests upon the contention
that the law is unconstitutional and that
for two reasons, first, that the 8 o'clock
law Is by Its terms an amendment to sec
tion 14 of the Slocumb law and 1b not ger
mane to said section; and, second, that It
Is amendatory of section 25 of that law,
without referring to or repealing said seo
tlon." After a lengthy discussion of the, argu
ments presented Judge Crawford closed his
deciolon as follows:
"By this case, so thoroughly and skill
fully presented, it Is sought to have me,
sitting as a polio magistrate, declare thla
law void and ot no effect Without belit
tling the duty of a police magistrate, I
may yet say, that th supreme court la
tho court particularly charged with the
determination of questions such as are
presented here, and It would not be fit
ting or proper for me to declare this act
of th legislature and governor of our
state, unconstitutional, void, and of no
effeot unless it be so clearly and fatally
defeotlv that thinking men cannot and do
not differ in their opinions upon th sub
ject. "Nevertheless, I have set out my views
upon the two propositions presented In the
argument of counsel and reach the con
clusion that th $ o'clock law la germane
to section 14 of the Slocumb law and Is
not amendatory to section ZSTTNsald law.

case and In this court the law Is constitu
