A long speech, dealing with the pledge of party leaders with respect to a revision of the tariff, was begun by Senator La- Follette ‘oday and will be gpntinued to- morrow. By numerous quotations he main- talned that fo question could be raised as to the pledge of the party for a re- vislon downward, and he declared that be. fore he should conclude his speech he would demgnstrate amply that, on the whole, the pending bill placed the duties gbove the rates of the Dingley law. Since the enactment of the Dingley law and untll 1904, he salu, the control of trusts had been extended to 8,664 plants, with a capital of more than $20,000,000. Senator Nelson also discussed the taritf bill and quoted npmerous camparisons be- tween the existing law and the pending measure with the intention of showing thet in the eotton echedule the rates had been raised from 20 to 50 per cent above the Dingley law by the substitution of specifio for o, duties” Senator Gore again Quoted dividends and wurplus earnings of New England cotton and wollen manutscturing companies to sustain his contention that these corpora- tions made large profits, and Senator Frye in reply declared that, taking into consider- ation both suécessful @nd unsuccessful cot- ton and woolen miils, & profit of not more than 6 per oent had realized by New Englind manufacturers upon thelr invest- ments in these Industries, Senator Blake spoke at length advocating & duty on ocoal and pétroleum. The cotton schedule was construetively under con- sideration all day, but, no feature of it passed The senate at 5:20 p. m., adjourned. Profilis of Coston Mil Astonishing the senAte by the citation of a long list of cotton and woolen manufac- turing companies and giving their earnings, capital stock, surplus, etc., Benator Gore today undertook the task of showing that corporations engagéd i the cotton and woolen industries were making very large earnings. The speech was one that no other senator would have attempted wjthout con- stant reforence to notes, but' the blind statesmian found no difficulty in giving oft- hand the greatest varietles of details with- out the abllity to assist his memory in any way. The senate had promptly begun the day's business by resuming consideration of the oftton schedule of the tariff bill and Mr, GBre was the first speaker. Retérring o the cotton and woolen manu- facturers and in a rasping and sinister tone, the Oklahoma senator said he did not blame them for their large earnin “I know they are intelligent citizens,’ he #Ald, “judging from thelr business suc cess and froni their delection of United Hiates senators.” He referred in sarcastic language to the stateient made ' yesterday by Senator Lodgo that some of these large earnings re- sulted from sales of real estate fortunately acquired many years ago, and sald that the stock of the Troy Cottoh and Woolen eom- pany of Massachusetts had been advertised A earning 67 per cent In 1907 without refer- ence 10 profits from real estate sales. He suspecied, he sald, “that the good natured phllanthroplc manufacturers did not divide their earnings on the ‘square deal' wita their ikborers.” Senator Nelson followed. ““The business interedts of the country need not be alarmed, as their appedis to us for prompt action on the tariff indicates, because there will be no downward revision,” he declaved, after saying the understanding in his state Was that the tariff would be lowetéd. ‘“The only thing they have to wait for,” he continued. “is to see how far they oan mark up their goods. At least there will be no downward revision that they themselves do_ not consent to.'" Sustaining the conmtention of Senator Dolliver in opposition to the specific duties in the cotton schedule reported by the cominittee on i Mr. Nelson gave extended examples of specific increases end their equivaient ad valorem rates to show that they had been placed higner than in the Dingley law. “1 have demonstrated,” sald Mr. Nelson, after cancluding his analysis of the cotten sche@ule, “that this bill increases all of thesé duties from 20 to more than & per oent over the rates of the present Dingley law 1501s Hitasel!

CHICAGO, June 2.—Mystery surrounding | the death of Mrs. Nora Jane Clemenson | was brought nearer solution today when | Captain of Police Thomas Kane announced | that he would examine a woman and a man who he believed would be able to give some information concerning the do- mestic relations of Dr. Clemenson and his wite. According to Captain Kane, Clemenson told him today that Mrs. C! enson had tried to commit sulelde two weeks ago by taking chloroform. The physiclan declared that he had found an empty chloform bottle and had asked her sbout it. She denied having used any of the poison and the physician sald he be- lleved her. When he found her dead on last Sunday morning he declared that he decided to tell the burglar story because |he did not think any post mortem would be held and that his story would be be- lieved Dr. Clemenson was formally hooked yes- terday for the murder of his wife. Dr. Clemenson attended the funeral yester- day under police guard. The woman's stomach was placed in the hands of ex- perts for chemical examination. Chief of Detectives O'Brien stated Dr. Cleminson's declaration that his wife | had been chloroformed by burglars, And that he himself suffercd from poison, was utterly unworthy of credence. The money | and spoons which It is alleged the phys- fcfan said were stolen were found in a closet of his house. A woman to whom Dr. to have sent flowers was discovered to be Miss P. M. Berg, 21 years old, who was a patient at the Chicago Union hospi- tal from May % to May 2. Aeccording to Dr. E. E. Zanghan, house physician at the hospital, Dr. Cleminson made almost dally visits to the hospital while Miss Berg was there and left large bunches of flowers each day. It has been impossible to locate Miss Berg at the address on the hospital record. Police Captain Kane this afternoon de- clared that Dr. Clemenson had made sen- sational disclosures to him. “If what the doctor told me proves true several others beside the prisoner are im- plicated in the death of Mrs. Clemenson, sald Captain Kane, “According to Clemen- son's story,” the police continued, ‘“the crime which brought this young woman to her grave is one of the worst in the history of Chicago.” Brewers See Ebb of Prohibition Wave Association Report Says Anti-Saloon League Overshoots Mark—Beer Sales Decrease. —pr ATLANTIC CITY, N.

NICHOLAS TO TAKE IONG TRIP Report That the Czar Will Visit Eng- land, France and Italy During the Month July. ot ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.—A meeting between Kaiser William and Czar Nicholas has been been arranged and will take place in the waters of the Finish gulf. The exact date of the meeting will be decided upon later, but it probably will be June 17. The German emperor will arrive on the im- yacht Hohnzollern, while Emperor Nicholas will be aboard the Standart, ac- companied by M. Iswolski, the forelgn min- ister and Admiral Voevodsky, the minister of marine, The news of the proposed interview be- tween the sovereigns, coming so soon after the settlement of the Balkan crisis, has aroused eager speculation among the diplo- mats, at St. Petersburg. It was supposed in some quarters that German mediation, which had ended the crisis, had left a heritage of bitterness which would estrange the two monarches and lead Rusela to \dentify itself more closely with Great Britaln's continental policy. The meeting, which according to some reports has been arranged on the Initiative of Emperor Nicholas, is taken to mean that Russia prefers an amicable arrangement with Ger- many to the doubtful issue of an antago- nistic policy. if Emperor Willlam also meets President Fallieres, as it is reported from Berlin he will do, the European sit- uation may be regarded as entering upon a decidedly peaceful phase. After meeting the German emperor the Russian ruler will go to Stockhoim, prob- ably on June 26. Then he will return to Peterhof, and during the early days of July will receive King Frederick of Den- mark there. His majesty afterwards will proceed to Poltava to be preseit July 7 and § at the celebration of the 200th anni- versary of the battle of Poltava. The em- peror will then depart by sea for a visit to France sn? England and probably Italy. The plans of this trip are held in the deep- est secrecy, but elaborate preparations al- ready are being taken to prevent the taper- the raflway lines to Poltava. Forty-elght thousand. troops will be sta- tioned along the route during the journey. The military attaches of the various em- bassies and legations have been invited to accompany his majesty, but no other diplo- matic repreesntatives. The emperor on June & will preside at the dedication of the to Alexander III, which has been erected at the end of the Nevski prospect.
