Mr. and Mrs. Ultimate Are Ask
ed to Step Up to Counter of
Tariff Benefits.
UNDERWOOD BILL IS READY
Democrats Make Stab at Their
Promise to Reduce Cost of
Living in Nation.
By THEODORE TILLER.
The Underwood bill is ready and
Mr. and Mrs. Ultimate Consumer will
kindly step up to the tariff counter
and call for a reduced cost of living.
Will they get it? Framers of the
Underwood bill, with its imposing
free list, think they will. Republicans
who are still true to the Payne law
and protection see in the near fu
ture park benches filled with the un
employed, thin pay envelopes, length
ened bread lines, soup houses, and
general woe.
The Ultimate Consumer has heard
these conflicting claims since tariffs
were first made. The main question
confronting him today is:
What Is the Benefit.
"How am I coins to benefit through
this new tariff revlelon? Will It be the
same old story?"
The rates of the Democratic tariff bill
have not been officially announced but
an authentic analysis of the essentials
of the proposed measure demonstrate
that the Democrats .are at least making
a stab at reducing the cost of living
and that they have linked the high cost
of living: with tariff rates.
So the "Ultimate Consumer, who was

HE DISAPPEARED QUICKLY
Police Confident D. A. Ainsworth
One Tihie Spouse of Widow,
May Have Information.
BOSTON, April 6. Police of As
sinippi, Mass., Chicago, and other
places are searching for D. Henry
Ainsworth, divorced husband of Jen
nie May Eaton, who is charged with
the murder of her husband. Admiral
Eaton. It is thought that the mys
terious stranger who visited the
Eaton home last Sunday was Ains
worth. When he was discovered at
the. Eaton home, the stranger disap
peared "cross lots" and has not been
seen since.
The prosecuting attorneys, who are
back of the search for Ainsworth,
have nothing against him but merely
want to learn something of the life
of his former wife. It is known that
Admiral Eaton once provided money
for Ainsworth to leave town, but any
other transactions between himself
and his former wife and her husband
are not known.
Wrote to Ainsworth.
It is known, however, that Mrs. Eaton
wrote to Ainsworth several weeks ago
and addressed the letter In the care of
a publishing firm In Chicago. Whether
or not Ainsworth can.be found through
a publishing house has not been as
certained yet. The Chicago police are
locking after I he cosel $9$
Ainsworth Is known to have been In
the vicinity a! ds!nlppi recently. A
woman who recognized him asked him
what he was dolng there and he ex
plained tliat he had come tot -visit ins
daughtersDorothy Ainsworth'and Mr.
June Ainsworth Keys Beverat times.
Hince las't Sunjay. when the person
supposed to be Ainsworth disappeared
from the lcinit7 of the Eaton liamu
very hurriedly, Ainsworth has not been
seen.
What Police Want
The chief items which the police hope
to gain from Ainsworth are In regard
to the financial affairs of his former
wife. It is believed that Mrs. Eaton
wrote to her former husband in 'Chica
go and asked him to visit her the sec
ond Sunday after Admiral Eaton died
and that, in response to this letter,
Ainsworth came to Asslnlppl.

Lines of Care Show in His
Face and Strain of Work
Is Easily Apparent.
President Woodrow Wilson Js haling
a much needed day of rest. His only
engagement today was morning worship
at the Second Presbyterian Church,
Twenty-second and Q streets north
west, where the R2V. Andrew R. Bird
is pastor.
Upon returning from church he had
luncheon and then settled down for th
quietest Sabbath afternoon and even
ing of his stay in Washington.
With 1:1m at church today were Mrs.
Wilson ando Mlsg Helen Woodrow
Bones. The Wilson girls are out of the
city.
The President today showed marked
signs of the mental and physical strain
to which he was subjected the past
week. Today he denied himself to
visitors, and tomorrow morning he will
have only a few.
President S llson was completely tired
out, and today It 1'as noted as he sped
away to church in a White House car
that the lines of his face were deeper
and the fullness and the freshness of
a month ago were replaced ly the
traces of overwork.
Secretary Tumulty appeared at the I
Kxecutlve Ofllce for a brief time before I
noon, but only to attend to correspond- I
ence which piled up over night. He
turned away ilsltors. hurriedly attended I
to matters of Importance, and then j
closed up the office for the afternoon. 1
The President. In selecting the Second
Presbyterian Church, followed out his
rule of going to a place where the con
gregation Is not large and where sim
plicity rather than ostentation is fol
lowed. He wanted his day of rest to
be as simple and quiet us possible from
the church attendance to the time he
retires tonight.
