His actions nttracted the attention of the police and he was arrested. When taken to the police station and searched a big revolver and a belt filled with steel bullets were found in his possession. The man said he was Colonel James Strickling of Rose- berry, Ark,, and that he was in Wash- ington for a “purpose.” “I don’t intend to divulge my busi- ness,” he said. “I shall go back to the White House when I get out of this station and wait for Mr. Taft to return.” g The police surgeons examined the man and he was admitted to the St. Elizabeth insane asylum.

VOTES TO RETAIN DUTY ON PAPER Senate Kills Amendment to Put It on Free List. MAJORITY QUITE LARGE Vote Was Twenty-nine for to Fifty- two Agalnst, Only Three Republi- cans Lining Up With the Demo- orats In Opposition—Senator Qal- linger Speaks at Length In Favor of an Increased Tariff. ‘Washington, June 19.—The senate voted down Senator Brown’s amend- ment placing print paper on the free Nst of the tariff bill 29 to 52. Senator Lorimer voted against the amendment. All the Democrats except Mr. Bailey voted for the amendment. Only Sen- ators Beveridge, Bristow, Brown and Burkett among the Republicans voted bor it. ‘When debate on the paper schedule was resumed Senator Gallinger made reply to many of the statements of Benator Brown in favor of placing print paper on the free list. “If increase in the price of an arti- ole is a reason for putting it on the free list,” said Mr. Gallinger, “then this bill ought to be made up of the free list and nothing else.” Saying he had been in the paper mills of Canada and knew of the wages paid there Mr. Gallinger de- clared that wages in this country are 80 per cent greater than in any prov- ince of the Dominion of Canada in all industries, papermaking included. He presented petitions against reduetion in the duty on print paper from the Knights of Labor and Brotherhood of Papermakers and sald these work- men were quick to detect danger to labor by such reduction. If Canada, he said, gets control of the wood pulp and print paper busi- ness the newspapers will be at the mercy of Canada in the matter of price. He believed the rate of duty recommended by the committee on finance to be too small and predicted that it would be regarded as a monu- mental blunder. He preferred to con- tinue the duty of the Dingley law. Competition Regulates Price. “The price,” he said, “has been kept down by competition. It is conceded that no trust exists and that there is no combination to advance the price of paper.” The newspapers, he declared, were far from being unanimous on the subject of free print paper. “The clamor for this legislation,” he said, “comes largely from the cheap and sensational part of the newspaper press.” Following Mr. Gallinger Senator Brown again took the floor. He un- dertook to withdraw his amendment for free paper so as to place himself in position to support the provision of the bill which levied a duty of $2 in- stead of $4 a ton on print paper as proposed by the finance committee. “I object,” interposed Senator Al- drich, which objection made necessary an aye and no vote on Mr. Brown's amendment. Following closely {Le defeat of Mr. Brown’s amendment Mr. Stone offered an amondment placing “wocd pulp print paper, suitable for books and newspapers” on the free list. UNTIL BILL IS COMPLETED Action on Tax Amendments to Be Postponed. ‘Washington, June 19.—An informal agreement was reached on the floor of the senmate between Senators Al- drich, Cummins and Bailey that the in- come tax and corporation tax ques- tlons shall be postponed until after all schedules In the tariff bill are dis- posed of.

SOME CHARGES CORROBORATED Inspector Testifies at Packing House Inquiry, Bast St. Louis, June 19.—Corrobora. tlon of many charges against the gov- ernment’s meat inspection system here was given to the investigating board by Julius Bischoff, an inspector. According to J. G. Harms, the in- spector whose open letter to Secre- tary Wilson caused the inquiry, Bis- choff substantiated Harms’ assertions and was prepared to reveal similar ir- regularities which Bischoff himeelf had observed. The secrecy with which the inquiry 18 being conducted has caused con- siderable comment. Officials of paclc- ing corpanies had expressed a hope that the fullest publicity would be brought into play and several said that unless this was done they foared the present hearing would fail to al- lay public distrust of the imspection } system, no matter what report is made to Secretary Wilson. They called attention to the fact that the day after Harms’ original charges ‘were published Dr. A. D. Melvin, who is conducting the inquiry, was quoted in an interview as being sure that the allegations were without foundation. This phase of the matter was also given by Harms as one of the rea- WANTS ONE CENT A WORD. HELP WANTED. WANTED—Girl for general house- work. Inquire Mrs. J. L.

DECREASE IN OUR EXPORTS Figures for 1900 Materlally Below Those of Recent Years. ‘Washington, June 19.—A statement issued by the bureau of statisties says that “it is now apparent that the ex- ports from the United States in the fiscal year, which ends with the pres- ent month, will fall materially below those of 1808 and 1907 and slightly be- low those of 1906.” From statistics compiled by the bu- reau the total value of domestic mer- chandise exported in 1906 was $lL.- 835,000,000, in 1907 $1,854,000,000 and in 1908 $1,718,000,000.
