Demand for Revision. .
After referring to the rise of trusts
and combinations in industrial enter- |
prise, he said:
"Then came a demand for a revision
of the tariff. It originated in the
necessities of the people, and was
founded upon the fundamental instinct .
for justice. Deprived of the safeguards \
w hich competition at home had furnished
them, the people k#pw, without
reasoning upon it, that they had a
right to an intelligent readjustment of (
the tariff. They felt the duties should
be so modified that the eontinued insistence
upon unfair prices would expose
our manufacturers to the correc
tion of foreign competition.
"In this demand there was no dis- ?
lovalt\ to the doctrine to protection,
iurn.-'iii r inn i i nc aauin c ??i m\ i vf-ui.
li< in loaders in Congress to abide by j()
our platform furnishes no reason for (j
delivering this country into the hands hi
of the democrats. w
"Our course, it seems to nie. is set a'
plainly before us. I do not favor an
immediate general revision of the
tariff: indeed. I earnestly hope that
tv e may never be compelled to enter of
upon another general readjustment of th
the system. pi
Amend Schedules Separately.
le
"In our last attempt it was made .j-j
dearer than ever before, first, that a
.'itme better way must be found than tt
we now have of securing information
as to cost here and abroad; and. sec
>nd. that we must amend the Schedules
separately. As to the first, the way tl
will be found in the creation of an pi
:ndependent. non-partisan tariff comnission.
not to change the law, for
that is and must remain the work a
of Congress; but to collect and lay be- p
ne Congress and before the people the bi
facts. ir
" As to the second we must insist upon a sj
law. or rule of Congress that will allow
ne schedule to be amended or revised a|
without going over the whole range of
i ne tariff. We must exclude the oppor- ^
tunity for the trades and combinations t|
which now dishonor tariff legislation." A
The Railway Bill. si
a:
Regarding the administration" railway di
hill Senator Cummins said: te
"With the introduction of the bill there ]
Ifgan such a struggle as has been raiei\
witnessed between the forces of progress ^
and reaction. The progressive republicans
did not get all they wanted, nor all they
ought to have had, but they succeeded in tr
converting a measure which in its original
form would have been a long step back- tr
ward Into a measure that is a gratifying
step forward."
Postal Banks. tr
w
The postal savings banks bill has in his
mind "two serious defects which ought
to be removed at the earliest practicable
moment. First, we have given to the te
board of trustees, which is to manage the a
postal depositories, the discretion to co
designate such post offices as it sees fit. th
This discretion will be a never ending ir- fo
ritation. m
' The law should be amended so that ^
depositories are selected by some standaid.
either of population or of business, hi
which could be applied inflexibly to the w
whole country. S<
"Second, the most serious objection to m
the law will he found iij the disposition of
the money after it is gathered at the post w
"ffices. ? ? Our platform was bot- c<
tomed upon the fundamental idea that t!
the money put in the post offices should
not be withdrawn by the government C
from that community."

ITATE COMMITTEE DIVIDED

Knowing They Cannot be
Carried?Cummins Cheered.
DP:s MOINES, Iowa. August H.?With
tandputters and progressives apparently
opelessly at variance on the essential
tatter of tariff plunk, t lie republican
tate convention was tailed to order in
ne Coliseum today for the purpose of
liting a platform, selecting a state cental
committee and making nominations
jr state superintendent of public instrueon
and for two supreme court judgehips.
The discord is expected to he more in
videnee in the campaign than effective
t the convention, which lias a safe proressive
majority. The standpatters
liopted their planks with the full knowlIge
that they could not be forced through
le convention. The platform which is
> be adopted will be unmistakably inurgent;
condemnation of the tariff law
ud encomiums for the state's insurgent
ongressional delegation.
Yesterday and the greater paiu of the
ght saw the two factions steadily growg
farther apart. At lirst the conservaves
gave some evidence that a semance
of harmony was possible. Talk
as for an indorsement of President Taft
id the protective policy.
Standpatters Firm.
By night, however, the platform makers
this faction were in a stampede off
e harmony reservation. They prepared
auks indorsing the President and Gov.
arroll, calling them, respectively, the
aders of the party in natfon and state,
hey indorsed Taft for signing the Payneldrich
tariff bill and to the law gave
leir unqualified approval.
Nothing could better lie calculated to
ouse the ire of the insurgent delegates,
ho are in the majority by JtX?.
The standpatters went to bed, leaving
teir challenge well understood by the
rogressives.
The former let it be known they could
? down with .their colors nailed to the
ast. Former Representative I.acey, in
speech, declared that it was important
>wa should go republican next election,
ut said, amid applause, that it was more
nportant that the republican party
lould go republican.
At the conference last night the sixth
nd ninth districts were unable to select
etinitely their members of the resoluons
committee. They went into caucus
lis morning with John F. Lacey and H.
W aterman under consideration in the
xth and State Senator C. G. Saunders

With the exception of the second disict

Cummins Cheered.
The entrance of Senator Cummins, the
mporary chairman, was the signal for
wild burst of applause, in which many
mservatives, carried away by the enusiasm,
joined. Senator Dolliver, slated
r permanent chairman, came in a few
oments later and received an ovation,
e took a seat on the platform beside
is senatorial colleague. The Coliseum,
ith its seating capacity of 10,000, was
tlf filled with delegates and spectators
hen State Chairman Franke introduced
rnator Cummins as temporary chairan.
The second district delegation, still
restling in caucus, was pot present, in
>nsequence of which it was stated that
ie resolution committee would not be
;nt out to deliberate until after Senator
ummins' keynote speech.
Will Indorse Taft.
On the best authority it was stated that
;e platform to be adopted will indorse
resident Taft in language which will
>t conflict with the most hearty approval
' Iowa's insurgent delegation in Con-ess.
Karly developments indicated an injrsemerit
of Gov. Carroll. Another
robable plank, it was reported, would
dorse: Good roads, employers' liability,
jblicily of campaign expenses, the
ulet law and the election cf United
lates senators by direct vote.
Senator Cummins did not mention either
esident Taft or Gov. Carroll by name
his speech. He referred to the reiblican
party as the party "of Lincoln,
Grant, of Roosevelt." etc.. but did not
y anything about "the party of Taft."
Refuses Deference to Taft.
The mention <ff Roosevelt's name
ought the audience to its feet. Then
om the standpatters came cries of
raft! Taft! Taft!" indicating their dere
that the party be referred to also as

iring the outburst, but ignored the imied
reauest.

on.
At a meeting of the officers and board '
' governors of the provisional aesocia- (
on and of the special committee ap3inted
by the board of directors of the 1
lamber, held today in the Chamber of 1
ommerce, a report was made by Joseph 1
rasburger, temporary president of the c
etail Merchants' Association, which con- c
ined the plan of organization of the Re- r
il Merchants' Association of the Cham- *
>r of Commerce. This report was ap oved,
and will be submitted to the c
lamber and the provisional association c
r their ratification. Undoubtedly the t
port will be approved by both, and re- r
ilers will begin active work immediely.
In order to conform to the constitution

Aim of Organization.
E
The aim of the new association is to ;l
omote the interests of retail trade in f
ashington, to establish a credit bureau ?
id to get the retailers together to ad- v
nice their special interests. t
There will be no other dues for mem- ^
rship in the new association other
an those paid by the merchants as p
embers of the Chamber of Commerce. ,]
owever, to meet expenses which may v
ise in the advancement of the in- v
rests of the retailers particularly, s
ere may at times be a tax upon the p
embers of the association. g
The board of directors of the Cham- u
;r of Commerce has already given
nsent to the establishment of the reilers'
association, provided they all
e members of the chamber, so it is
iparent that the association will go t
rward now without a hitch. p
The officers of the retailers' association
: present are Joseph Strasburger, presi- .
;nt; James F. Oyster, vice president;
. C. Dulin, treasurer; George Gall, sec- t
taary. The board of governors consists

Three Non-Resident Patients.
Three of the patients were non-resients,
and apparently were sick when

Dr. Woodward says that, although tyihoid

Health Office Gives Rules.
In a bulletin prepared by Dr. Woodward
oday some plain advice is given to the
ublic:
"Persons handling typhoid fever paients
should, after doing so, always clean
ind disinfect their hands for fear that
hey may be contaminated. The disease
nust be looked upon as being readily
ommunicable and no unnecessary conn
nt ...ft 1. * I. ? .. 1 1 1 .111 ll 1
itt ? n.n iiie paucni. eiiuer un me pan
>f attendants or on the part of visitors,
hould lie allowed. In fact, visiting tyihoid
fever patients should be restricted
o the lowest possible minimum, or better,
t least during the acute stages, forbidden
ltogether.
"The typhoid fever germ finds entrance
nto the body with what we eat or
Irink, and, possibly, in the case of perons
in attending on typhQld fever paients
by the thoughtless introduction of
inclean fingers into the mouth. Conerning
infection through the last chanlel,
enough has been said to show how
nfeetion may he avoided. Inspection
hrough food and drink may be avoided
>y seeing that all of it is properly cooked
tefore being eaten, and, after being
ooked, is protected from flies, from unlean
hands and from inclean utensils
ind dishes.
Heat Fatal to Bacillus.
"Heat kills the typhoid bacillus subjectd
to cooking iust as it kills any other
arm of vegetable life under like eircumtances.
If one cannot limit what he eats
r drinks to cooked articles, protected as
lescribed above, or is not willing to do
o, then the next best tiling is to sea
iiat all that he eats or drinks comes
rom tiie sources that are above suspiion,
and that all such food and drink
re handled, stored and served in a
leanly manner. This is not so safe as
he use of cooked substances only, but
n the absence of grave emergency is
irobably as far as many people are wiling
to go. Of course, with respect to
lies, all food must be protected.
"When the germ finds entrance into
he body it may or it may not grow. If
t grows the patient has typhoid fever;
f it does not grow, he is never even
ware of having swallowed it. The fac
ors mat aeiermine wnetner it snail or
hall not prow are. first, the virulence
nd number of germs introduced, and,
econd, the resisting power of the body,
"he same methods that have been recommended
to keep living germs out of the
ody tend to reduce the number and to
?ssen the virulence of those that may
ie introduced. If, therefore, the preautions
that have be?n recommended
hove are adopted, they may, even if
ot entirely successful in keeping out iivig
germs, so diminisli the number and
otency of those that are introduced as
o prevent the occurrence of typhoid
ever.
Increase of Resisting Power.
"The resisting power of the body can
e best increased by measures that tend
o promote the general health. Living in
ure air, whether in doors or out, but
refera'bly out of doors; a plenty of natral
light, no unreasonable fatigue, menil
or physical: exercise in moderation,
lenty of sleep: frequent bathing, and
voidance of excesses of eating and
rinking, including the avoidance altoether,
or at least extreme moderation, in
ie use of alcoholic liquors, are the prime
ictors in enabling the human body to
ithstand the encroachments of infecous
diseases of all kinds, including tyhold
fever.
"The citizen who would have the
reatest amount of protection against disase
must do his part to acquire it."

! BURGLARSAT WORK
I Attempted Robbery at Home
of Edwin A. Peake.
i INTRUDER WAS IN BEDROOM
; Drops Watch and Forty Dollars
When Pursued by Owner.
i NUMEROUS THEFTS REPORTED i
- Thieves Appropriate Whatever la
Around, From Cash to Sar
dines and Cakes.
Burglars who have recently been annoyihg
residents in the northwest section of
the city seem to have transferred their
base of operations to East Washington.
The home of Edwin A. Peake, U~> 8th
c street southeast, was burglarized about
o'clock last night, and but for the
3 prompt discovery of the intruder Mr.
e Peake- would have been loser of his watch
s and considerable cash.
Bicycle Policeman Garrett reached the
1 liouse about ten minutes after the man
i had been frightened off. Mrs. Peake,
- who had been awakened by a noise in
s her sleeping apartment, was nervous and
1 excited, but was able to relate to the
l policeman the details of the midnight j
) visit. Upon hearing a noise, Mrs. Peake ;
said, site aroused her husband, exclaim- i
s ing: "There's a burglar in here!"
1
, "Where's my pistol?" the husband ask- !
ed, believing a mention of the weapon
would cause the burglar to make Ids
presence known
Fails to Overtake Him.
Mr. Peake arose and made a light. As !
he did so his wife saw a man disappear- 1
ing through the doorway. Her husband (
endeavored to overtake him, but all he ,
could fell the policeman of the affair was j
that he heard the rear door slam as the
unannounced caller departed. Mr. Peake ;
made an examination of the premises, j
but could not determine just how en- i
trance had been effected.
On the floor at the foot oj the bod he i
found his trousers. The pockets had ;
been turned inside out and his watch and |
about $4(? were missing. He found the
money and timepiece at the iiead of the
stairway, however, where the burglar
had dropped them when he was frightened
off.
Mr. Peake returned home last night
about 10 o'clock, and soon afterward retired.
A little later the occupant of the
lower floor retired, before doing so
fastening the outer door. The rear door
was toe otjly place that was found to be
unfastened, and the police think the burglar
entered the house earlier in the night
and secreted himself until he thought he

It is regarded as possible that tie en- I
tred the sleeping room of the Peakes '
I and secreted himself, and that lie was
! there when Mr. and Mrs. Peake retired.
Investigation Without Results.
i Nothing has yet been accomplished by
the police in the investigation of two
other robberies committed on Capitol
Hill recently. One was at the house of
Capt. John A. Travis, 1<">S Kast Capitol
street, and the other at the house of Mis.
Ida M. Wagner, It street northeast.
At the house of Capt. Travis the robbery
occurred while members of the family
were out of the city, but at the house
of Mrs. Wagner an early evening, visit
was paid while the occupants were temporarily
away. About $l?:o worth of
property disappeared from the Eiast Capitol
street house. Mrs. Wagner lost only
a small sum of money, some fruit, crackers
and other supplies.
Willow Tree Alley Visited.
Willow Tree alley southwest was also
the scene of an exciting episode this
morning shortly before daybreak, robbery
being accomplished. Bicycle Police
man Jos Grant pursued the aliened burglar
and, in the hope of stopping the fleeing
man. discharged his revolver.
The report of the pistol shot did not
have the desired effect, however, the suspect
running all the faster. He jumped
the fence surrounding the property of C.
H. Beavers, 1224 7th street southwest,
hurting himself, but continuing his flight.
Shortly after daybreak the policeman
arrested William McKnight, colored,
twenty-three years old, of 122t? Nolan
court as the man wanted. He was taken
to the Emergency Hospital and treated
for an injury to his face, and was afterward
locked up at the fourth precinct
station to answer a charge of burglary.
Hold-Up by Footpads.
In South Washington last night complaint
was made that Manilis Zaganis had
been robbed on the street Saturday night.
His story was that he was at .'Id and F
Streets late Saturday night and that a
colored man snatched $.'t from his hand.
The young man was greatly excited over '
his experience and was extremely anxious
that the robber should be apprehended.
"He'll rob somebody else." said Zaganis,
"if you don't get him."
At an early hour this morning Policemen
Grant and Harney arrested Curtis
Young, colored, who is alleged to havy .
committed the theft. He denied the accusation.
but a charge of robbery was
preferred against him and he is held for
a hearing.
Tii? theft nf a diamond rinsr valued at
from the house of Sally Thompson,
S14 G street northwest, was reported to
the police last night. It was stated that
the article of jewelry was taken from a
glove box in the house yesterday.
Other Crimes Noted.
Report was made to the police last night
also that a colored woman had called at
the house of Mrs. H. A. Harney. ?.*<>7 13th
street, and asked for funds for St. Augustine's
Church. The police were told
that the woman had not been authorized
to make collections for the church. A
description of her was furnished by Mrs. '
Harney and the police are looking for
her.
The theft of a case containing five hook
knives was reported by Henry F. Near ,
of Fort Mver. He told the police that
the case of knives was taken from the
hospital on the military reservation.
Douglass Beall of the Soldiers' Home
! reported the theft of a signet ring worth j
I id. which, he stated, was taken from the
I hospital at the institution. ,
1 The store of Nathan Helfgott, Oat 25th
street, was entered by burglars between ,
1 anil 4 o'clock this morning. About $2 j
worth of sardines anil cakes were stolen.
FIND NO STEAMER READY.
Owing to Injury to River Queen Excursionists
Are Disappointed.
The steamer River Queen, which plies
between this city anil Washington Park, ,
was put out of commission Monday by a:i
accident to one of her paddle w heels. The
news of the affair apparently did not
reach the local members of the United
Order of True Reformers, who had
planned to conduct an excursion to the |
river resort this morning.
More than 2.000 members of the organization
from this city, together with visiting
members from Baltimore and other
Maryland points, gathered at the pier this
morning, and were amazed to discover
that the boat was not running. Appar- i
^ntlv, no one in authority had been noti- i
?f the accident.
There wais much dissatisfaction. About 1
1,000 members went to Madre's Park,
w here a/picnic was enjoyed.
