been made by such person, firm or
'corporation unless the latter knows
the proposed employer to be reputa
ble. The bill requires the filing by every
such person, firm or corporation with
tho irallce department of a dally re
port of the name and address of ev
ery such girl directed to seek em

for the grand Jury. The grand Jury
indicted him for murder in the first

the police station on Saturday and
identified a string of beads that Ituth
had worn when she left home.

Muller whs told to stand up, and Miss
Wheeler identified her as tho woman
who admitted her to the flat. Woltei

suggestion that Ituth was there. He
told Miss Wheeler he had not sent any
postal card to the school.
Miss Wheeler told how she went to
tho police stution nnd got a policeman,
how they searched tho flat for ltuth
and called her name loudly and how
Wolter and Kntio Muller denied over
and over again that ltuth had been
there or that they hod ever seen her.

posts protesting agalust the accept
ance by congress of tho statue of Rob
ert E. Lee ln Statunry hall were pre
sented to the senate by Senator Lodge.'

contempt."

"a studied aud direct insult to every
living Union soldier and sailor and
doubly so to those who sacrificed their
lives for the preservation of tho Un
ion." The objection on the part of one
Massachusetts post to tho presence of
tho Confederate leader ln Statuary
hall is due to the fact that Lee Is
portrayed In a Confederate uniform.

the high cost of living that the people
of the United Sjtntes need never expect
to get any more cheap beef, lie said:
"The advance In land values and the
increase iu the cost of feed, in wages
nnd in every item of the cost of pro
duction have been such that the price
of cattle must be maintained at Its
present level or the growers will go
ut of the business.
' it is the herds on many great
ranches in the southwest are being
sold off and the land is being sold to
'armors in small tracts. One great
ranch that formerly grazed 100,000
llt;ad now has less than 10,000 head,
Another of 437,000 ncres that grazed
30,000 head has all been cut up nnd
sold to cotton growers. If cattle rais
ing were very profitable that kind of
thing wouldn't happen.
"I don't see what you can do to rem
edy existing conditions unless you can
repeal the law of supply and demand.
If you take the tariff off cattle the
j country will be Hooded with Mexican
came nnu tiie price will be cut down,
but our growers will go out of busi

iu no time the price will return to the

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
United States and Dominion to Read
just Trade Relations.
Washington, March 31. The United
States nnd Canada have agreed to
open negotiations for the drafting of
a reciprocity treaty. Next to the
averting of the threatened tariff war
between the two countries this ls the
most lmtortaut result of the tarllt
conferences between President Tuft
and W. S. Fielding, tho Dominion's
minister of finance.
The probability of reciprocity nego
tiations was disclosed ln the an
nouncement made by the state depart
ment of the trade agreement that has
been reached with Canada. Corre
spondence that has passed between
Secretary Knox and Mr. Fielding
Shows that the secretary of state al
ready has suggested by direction ol
the president thnt negotiations be bo-
gun with a view to readjusting the
trude relations between the countries
along more liberal lines. The secre
tary has formally expressed the hope
that the trade relations will be gov
erned by "a spirit of cordial reciproca
tion nnd Interdependence."
Minister Fielding ln a formal reply
to the secretary's letter has assented
to the proposition advanced by Mr.
Knox and Is willing to enter upon the
negotiations.
The basis of the new trade agree
ment between Canada and the United
States by which the threatened com
mercial war was averted was made
public soon after President Tuft hud
signed the proclamation extending tht
minimum rates of the American tarlft
law to Imports from Canada.
The Dominion has conceded reduced
rates ou about forty staple commodi
ties exported from the United States
to Canada. These commodities repre
sent n total annual business of about
$5,000,000.
No American duties on imports
from Canada are lowered from the
minimum rates of the Payne law, but
ertaln articles manufactured In the
United States, such as soaps, per
fumes and other toilet articles, will
hereafter enter Canada at per
cent ad valorem. Heretofore the duty
has been 20 per cent.
Canada's single concession, to the
United States was made with the right
to give the same rates to any country
she cares to favor.
Canada stands by her province em
bargoes, which keep up the prices of
wood pulp und print paper.

DELATTflR CONGER
! Senate Committee Agrees
to Give Him Hearing.
HE WILL NOT RESIGN JUST YET
Governor'Hughes Calls Special Eleo
tion For April 28 For a Suc
cessor to the Disgraced
Jotham P. Allds.
Albany, X. Y., March 31. Governoi
Hughes has lost no time In calling s
special election to fill the vacancy cans
cd by the reslgnraent of Senator Jo
tham P. Allds, who quit the senntt
before forty senators upheld tho Con
ger charges agalust him. Governot
Hughes has designated April 28 as th
date for tho election In Allds' district
the Thirty-seventh, which comprise
Chenango, Otsego and Madison coun
ties.
Bnlph W. Thomas, professor jf ora.
tory at Colgate university, is to sue
ceeil Allds ns senator. Madison count
is for Professor Thomas, and Judge
Arnold aud Assemblyman Stephen G
Clark of Otsego county say that that
county also is for Professor Thomas
nomination, as they consider him nt
Ideal candidate. Professor Thoma
was connected with the stnte board 01
regents for a number of years and Is a
member of the state board of chari
ties. Senator Betui Conger announce
that he did not intend to resign u.
least until after he had a chance tc
discuss the resolution. offered by Sena
tor Cobb nnd referred to the senate
judiciary committee proposing an in
vestigation of his acts;.-- He succeeded
in having the committee stave off ac
tlon ou this resolution for the time
being, nnd when the question came up
before the committee It was decided
to give Conger a chance on Tuesday
next at 10 a. m. to explain his position
Senator Conger is of the opinion
that he has performed a public serv
ice lu exposing Allds. When Louis
E. Carr of Allds' counsel heard that
Senator Conger was around explaining
to senators that It would be unfair to
scalp him after he had started the
great purification wave In the legisla
ture Mr. Carr said Ironically, "Yes,
they ought to give him a loving cup."
The Hughes senators, who tirst
heard Conger charge Allds with brib
ery, Insisted that Senator Conger
not be expelled from the senate. They
held Conger up as a public benefactor
and demanded to know where Conger
benefited by his attitude toward Allds.
They declared that Conger was a
brave man, who let his tongue slip at
the Hughes senators' conference und
then when his coulldeiicc was violated
and the charges he made peddled
around he stood his ground nnd prov
ed them. He had done a public serv
ice, the Hughes senators argued, and
he ought to be praised Instead of be
ing expelled by the senate. This ls
the particular point Senator Conger
will argue before the judiciary com
mittee on Tuesday next.
Senator Xewcomb was perhaps tho
most determined senator to extoll and
defend Conger.
"To punish Conger," said Senator
Xewcomb, "In view of his disclosures
which have resulted lu Inestimable
benefit to the state, would be unwise
from the point of view of public poll
cy. This principle is fully recognliet
Iu provisions of the stnte constitu
tion aud the penal h.v relating to
persons disclosing bribery.
"Further Investigation of legislative
corruption must be had. To serve no
tice by expelling Conger that any one
making disclosures would instantly be
delivered into hostile hands to be de
stroyed would close the mouths of
necessary witnesses and defeat the
endsaof Justice."
