Chicago, March 17.—Western rail- roads are going to bend every energy toward bringing about a return to a 3-cent basis for passenger fares in all states and have already decided to file a 3-cent tariff for the state of Mis- souri to take effect in April. As soon after this date as possible the inter- state rates will be raised to be in line with the 3-cent rate through Missouri. This decision was reached at a con- ference between presidents and vice presidents of Missouri roads held in the office of B. L. Winchell, president of the Rock Island road. The officials were unanimous in the opinion that full advantage should be taken of the legal opinion of Judge McPherson in the Missouri case.

WELL RECEIVED IN BOTH HOUSES President Taff's Brief Nes- sage on Tariff Revision. URGES PROMPT ACTION Says Buslness Has Tendency to Hall or Suspend Because of Uncertainty of Changes and Suggests That the Less Time Given to Other Subjects of Legislation at This Session the Better for the Country. ‘Washington, March 17.—President Taft’s brief message to congress on the tariff received careful attention on the part of senators, many of whom laughed when the president’s sugges: tion that no legislation except in re- lation to the tariff be considered at this. session was read. When thel: president’s message was read in the house the Republicans broke out inta loud and prolonged applause. The text of the message follows: To the Senate and House of Represen- tatives: I have convened the congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration to the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, man- ufacture and business generally have so changed in the last twelve years as to require a readjustment and re- vision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this the pres- ent tariff act, with the other sources of governmental revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the au- thorized expenditures. By July 1 next the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,000,000. Party Pledged to Revision. The successful party in the late elec- tion is pledged to'a revision of the tarifft. The country, and the business community especially. expect it. The prospect of a change in the rates of import duties always causes a suspen- sion or halt in business because of the uncertainty as to the changes to be made and their effect, It is therefore, of the highest importance that the new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible consistent with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons 1 have deemed the present to be an ex- traordinary occasion, within the mean- ing of the Constitution, justifying and requiring the calling of an extra ses- sion. In my inaugural address I stated in a summary way thé principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed and indi- cated at least one new source of rev- enue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me to repeat what I then said. I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country re- quire that the attention of the con- gress in this session be chiefly devot- ed to the consideration of the new tar- iff bill and that the less time given to other subjects of legislation in this session the better for the country. MEMBERS IN CALMER MOOD Drawing of Seats Commands Interest of the House. I seven privates of fhe riral guard sta: tioned at the town of Vueltas, in Santa Clara province, have mutinfed and taken to the woods with their horses and arms. -It appears to be their intention to make an effort to start an uprising. Strong detachments of the rural guard from adjacent garrisons have been sent in pursuit of the mutineers. Women’s Bowling Record Broken. Pittsburg, March 17.—The world’s record in the double event for women bowlers was broken in the ninth an- nual tournament of the American Bowling congress in session here when Mrs. M. Kern and Miss Berdie Kern, both of St. Louis, rolled 1,024. The previous record, made at Cincinnati by Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Rosskopf of Chicago, was 964. ON THE CHARGE OF PERJURY Appellate Court Says John R. Hege man Must 8tand Trial. Albany, N. Y., March 17.—The court of appeals has decided in effect that John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, must stand trial on the charge of per: JOHN R.

ASKS THAT CASTRD ~ BE EXTRADITED Sult Charging Murder Begun in Venezuelan Gourd, Caracas, Venezuela, March 17.— Suits have been brought in the high federal court of Venezuela against M. Castro, former president, who is now in Burope, on the charge that he caused the murder in February, 1907, of General Antonio Paredes and a number of his revolutionary compan: ions. The plaintiff, Manuel Paredes, asks the judge to extradite Castro and impose the maximum sentence of fif teen years’ imprisonment. He pre sents proof that Castro issued the or- der to kill Antonio Paredes from his sick bed at Macuto. Antonio Paredes and several companions were executed while prisoners of war. He led a fu tile revolution against President Cas- tro, landing at Pedernales on Feb. 5, . 1507. He and his men were captured by Castro’s troops and a few days later all were summarily shot.

New York, March 17.—To the music of & s of bands playing Irish airs 76000 descendants of Irishmen marched today in the big St. Patrick’s day parade in this city. Todv.ys procession was the biggest Irish parade in the history of the oity and was unusually imposing. The men making up the giant column marched up Fifth avenue eight : . abreast, instead of four abreast as in | former years. The result was a more compact formation and better time, adding much to the enjoyment of the thousands of men, women and chfl- dren gathered along the route of the parade. The procession ended at a layge up town hall, in which the an- nual §t. Patrick’s day ball will be held tonight. Thirty thousand persons will attend the ball. WEIRD TALE OF THE NORTH Trained Wolves, Mad From Hunger, Kill Owner’s Child. Saskatoon, Sask, March 17.—A weird tale of the morth has been brought to Saskatoon by Fred Alling- ham and James and Mack J. Curtin, who have been spending the winter around Moose lake. A trapper had secured several young timber wolves, which he trained for driving. On one occasion he had been away on a long Journey and was finishing a hard day in which the animals had not received any food, as is the custom of treating dog teams while traveling. As the driver and the team approached the shanty that was their home his three- year-old daughter ran out to meet .them and the famished ' animals jumped on her and in a flash ghe wag dead before the father could lift a hand.

ADAIR I’I'TSBURQ' ‘PA, For Sale at * The Pioneer Office ‘Washington, March 17.—The second day’s session of the house of repre- sentatives of the Sixty-first congress found the members in a much calmer mood. The question of the amend- ment of the rules having been settled the tension was noticeably relaxed and a feeling of general good fellow- ship was apparent. The drawing of seats was the first business to be transacted and this proceeding, al- though rather monotonous to spec: tators, commanded the intense inter- est of the members. | As a special compliment Messrs. Bingham (Pa.), the father of the house; Sherwood and Keifer (0.), Payne (N. Y.), Clark (Mo.), Tawney (Minn.), Livingston (Ga.), Sperry (Conn.), the oldest members of the house; De Armond (Mo.) and Talbot (Md.) were allowed to select their seats without reference to the result of the drawing. Speaker Cannon announced the ways and means committee and rules committee. The new members of the ways and means committee' are: Cushman (Rep., Wash.), Harrison (Dem.; N. Y.) and Broussard (Dem., | La.). The committee on rules is as fol- lows: The speaker, Dalzell (Pa.), Smith (Ia), Clark (Mo.) and Fitzger- ald (N. Y.). JUST TO PUNISH BOLTERS Object of Boycott Resolution of House Democrats. ‘Washington, March 17.—Many of the members who attended the caucug of Democrats of the house do not in- terpret the resolution adopted there as a “boycott” of all of Speaker Can- non’s possible committee assignments of minority members. As explained the resolution was adopted to censure the Democrats who bolted the minor- ity leadership in the house and to pro- vide a punishment for their act. - The intention of the caucus, it is ex- plained; was to prevent the “bolters” from obtaining any reward for their course. It is believed, therefore, that Minority Leader Clark will object to the assignment of no members to committees ‘except the twenty-four Dem_ocrnts who deserted his leader- lhip CUBAN TROOPS IN MUTINY Sergeant and Seven Privates Take to the Woods. ‘Havans, March 17.—A sergean Newest Goods Latest Colorings Right Prices Courteous Treatment SPRING MILLINERY OPENING Friday, March 19, 1909 On the above mentioned date we will exhibit a magnificent assortment of Latest Millinery Novel- “ties, and Most Attractive Pattern Hats and ‘ Tailored Hats.
