Los Angeles, Cal, March 2.—Elias Jackson Baldwin, known the country over as “Lucky” Baldwin, died at his home at Arcadia, on Baldwin's ranch, after an illness of several weeks. Baldwin acquired his nickname of “Lucky” years ago when he struck it rich in the gold mines of California and Nevada. His fortune at one time was estimated at $20,000,000, but much of it was wanted on unprofitable ven- tures, and he was reported to be peor in 1897. No man identified with horse breed- ing and the racing of thoroughbreds was more widely known than he. Even the weight of his eighty-one years did not diminish his interest in turf matters. Mr. Baldwin was born on a farm six miles outside of Hamilton, Ili., and there he acquired the taste for fast horses that made him a familiar figure at many a track.

Committee Will Report Disagreement on Investigation Resolution. * Washington, March 2.—The senate committee on judiciary voted to report a disagreement on the resolution pro- viding for an investigation of the ab- sorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron company by the United States Steel corporation. Any view submitted to the senate on the subject will be considered “in- dividual,” reports not having the sanc- tion of the committee. This is generally regarded as a com- promise, as a number of senators had drafted a report declaring the merger to be in violation of the Sherman anti- trust law and rebuking President Roosevelt for his part in the transac- tion, while others declared that it was not the function of the committee, un- Mrs. Briney was shot in the ! back and through the heart and fell | der the resolution adopted, to pass upon these questions.

Taft Favors Tariff Commission. President Elect Taft made a vigor ous protest against what he said was an absolute misrepresentation in cer tain New York newspapers as to what he had said in answering questions regarding tariff revision. He had stated, he said, that the present business depression was un- doubtedly due in a large measure to the fact that the tariff is to be revised at an extra session of congress, to meet March 15; that it was of the highest importance that this work of revision should not be delayed, but executed with all possible diligence. Mr. Taft also said he favored the idea of a permanent tariff commission, the plan for which should be marked out with deliberation, the duties of such a commission to be to make a careful study of the operation of the proposed new tariff law, to the end that suggestions might be made in the future which would tend to place the whole question of the tariff on a more certain and scientific basis.
