Mi1. Funk said 'that when he cam to
Washington.' he recognised' a young man
standing by him on tha street. Ha had last

"I spoke to him." declared Mr. Funk.
"It was on Pennsylvania avenua and I waa
waiting for a car. , He crossed the street
as I did and when I got on tha car, he did
so. I asked him to alt by ma.
" 'Tou are back on tha Jobr I said.
" 'Yes,' he responded. .
" 'How do you ynjuy It 7' I asked him.
' 'Am not proud of my work,' he said.
"Then ' I gave hlra soma fatherly advice,
telling him I did not think much of the
detective business and that ha had better
get Into some business that had a future.
"Just before wa got up , to tha senate
office building, he said that I had 'ditched'
two of his associates and ha supposed that
ha would lose his job It he lost ma, I. tsld
hlra 1 trffcyJV-V ca1 ftx'lt up all right

Bill on July 24.

FROM

Willing to Agree to Vote Two Weeks
After Action on Wool Bill.
PLANS OF. THE DEMOCRATS
Mr. Williams Maya The Expect to

tt Some of Tkem Will
Be Signed.
WASHINGTON, June 27. An attempt by
Senatcr Penro.-e of the srnate f nance com
mittee to fix July 24 t T a vole on the Ca
nadian reciprocity bill was defeated in the
senate today through Eenatbr La Follette's
objection. "
The debate indjiaud that a portion of
the republican Inn.rgenta and some demo
crats will fight to have the wool revision
and the free I at bills passed, first o that
the president will have to act on them be
fore the senate paw-ea the reciprocity bill.
The Penrose resolution propuaed a vote
on the reciprocity bill July U, a vote on
the wool revision bill July 26 and a vote
on the free list till July J8. Senator La.
Follette's objection was made only to the
vote on the reciprocity bill. ,
.. Benator Bailey urged no. one to object
to the other datea, but the republican lead
era, realised they would be In . an embar
rassing situation If the time was fixed for
the wool and free list votes and left un
settled for the reciprocity vote, and Sena
tor Bmoot objected. .
Senator La Follette aald t : senate should
have opportunity to talk er the reci
procity bill without restrlcttu..
Suggestion by Nelson.
"I will support 'a reeotution to fix the
dates for voting on the wool bill and the
free list bill r t- the reciprocity vote two
weeks later," ienator Nelson.
Senators smiled . : the suggestion.
"Have you any Information aa to what
the president will d -vlth the free list
and the -wool bills?" a.-. : Senator Bailey.
"No," said Senator Penroae.
"I am compelled to think," said Senator
Bailey, "that the senator from Pennsyl
vania calculates that If all these bills can
be put up to the-president separately the
result will be that he will approve the
reciprocity bill and veto the other two
bills." ......
Senator Bailey aald It was inconceivable
that the president would veto the reciproc
ity bill which he desired, because aoma
other ' tariff bill waa attached to It, un
leaa he Intended te veto tha other Mil If
It came te..him separately. - ' '.
Is It perfectly apparent that the presi
dent will refuse to sign the reciprocity bill j
if it 1 mixed up with a general tariff re
vlslo.i -" aid Benator Williams of Missis
sippi. "By" what authority d you say that the
president will veto general tariff bills?"
asked Senator Nelson, ,
"By the authority of common sense,"
retorted Mr. Williams.
"Then is all this fight to pass the wool
bill and the free list bill simply a playing
of polltlcsT" demanded Senator Nelson.
Plana of Democrats.
"No." said Senator William, "we do not
expect to pasa a general tariff bill. We
Intend to pass several small bills on the
more-Important .ubjecta, in the hope that
one or two of th will meet the approval
of the president'
Senator Bailey declared that the demo
crats had no chance of passing the wool
and free list bills without the support of
republican insurgents.
It is perfectly apparent that the pro
gram adopted by the democrats will result
in the passage of the reciprocity bill and
the veto of any bills looking to (he general
tariff revision." aald Senator Dixon.
"I do not propoee to Join In any proposi
tion," said Senator Bailey, "that requires
the democrats to join with the stalwart to
pass this reciprocity bill and then leave
us to Join with the Insurgents to pass bills
that will he sure to be vetoed."
Senator Williams declared the democrats
could not secure enough republican votes
to pass a general tariff bill except aa an
amendment to the reciprocity bill so aa to
klU both measures.
Senator Cummlna declared the Insurgents
were willing to take the reepcnsllbUty of
delaying the vote on the reciprocity bill
untu every reatur of It had been dis
cussed. Benator Penrose) replied that though be
fore the senate but three, weeaa there had
been little debate upon 'the bill.
Iee Tariff BUla lm Heme.
Following a talk with President Taft at
the White House today. Speaker Champ
Clark reiterated the statement, made sev
eral days ago, that the democratic bouse
would continue to bombard the senate with
revised tariff acnudulea aa long aa 00 ogress
remained In eesnton. It waa reported from

Customs Off icers in
Smuggling Conspiracy
Inspectors Implicated in Jenkin's
Jewelry Case Paid $100 for
Each Trunk Passed.
NEW YORK, June 17. Customs officials
are seeking today evidence that may bring
to light every phase of the Jenkins $300,000
Jewelry smuggling case, whose ramifica
tions are now said to Involve a prominent
New York financial man.
The New Yorker la said to have been the
father of the scheme whereby goods valued
at nearly 12.000.000 were smuggled Into this
country. Two and possibly more customs
officers are said to be In the plot, which
had Its Inception several years ago. Theae
officers received. It Is said 1100 for every
trunk they passed with only a casual In
spection. The New Yorker not only was
able to smuggle valuable goods, Including
much jewelry, for . himself, but thousands
of dollars of dutiable stuff for others, who
became In this way obligated to him.
There will be no compromise In the Jen
kins smuggl'ng case. Deputy Surveyor Parr
Is the authority for the statement, that he
learned of the smuggled goods some time
before he confronted Mrs. Jenkins In the
matter. The federal prosecutor is still con
sidering the cases of a prominent western
manufacturer and a southern coal operator
in connection with the Jenkins smuggling
case, but whether the grand Jury haa the
matter In hand aa yet, la not known.

CHICAGO, June 27.-An officer of the law
being cared for by his prisoner, who had '
declined to accept a perfect chance to es
cape, waa the curious spectacle presented '
at the Harrison street police' station today.
The officer of the law was Deputy Sher
iff M. W. Roblson of Polk county, Iowa,
and the Samaritan prisoner C. E. Duggan
who was being taken to Des Moines on a
charge of wife abandonment. Duggan was
arrested by Roblson at Indianapolis yes
terday. Duggan and his captor started
for the depot to take a train for the Iowa
capital.
"We took Just one drink, but It had
an awful effect on Roblson," explained
Duggan. "Something must have been
wrong with It, for It made Roblson help
less. Of course I could have escaped, but
I could not leave him sick and helpless, so
I brought him here, and I guess I'll look
after him."
