PRESIDENT TAFT BROUGHT THE
HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COM
MITTEE TO TIME.
FOR PERMANENT TARIFF BOARD
Derrocratic Member* Led by Champ
Clark Support the Measure—Ha*
No Power* Except Advisory One*
— Must Report When Called On.
Washington. .Ian. 26.—Drought Into
line by President Taft after weeks of
arguments, the house ways and means
committee favorably reported a bill
providing for a permanent tariff
board. It is a compromise measure,
satisfactory to the president and it
will pass the house. Its fate is un
certain In the senate. Much to the
surprise of republican members of the
committee the hill received tho unan
imous support of the democratic mem
bers led by Champ Clark.
“We reported the bill,” said Mr.
vurlt, "because It provides for a tar
ff board and not a commission and
because it is to report to the ways
and means committee on request the
results of such Investigations it may
conduct. 1 think we are paying a pret
ty stiff sum of money for what Infor
mation we may get but if tbe board
docs get anything more than the. v ays
and means committee it will be of
use.
An Advisory Board.
Under the new bill the tariff hoard
is to remain an advisory board to the
president and is to be independent of
the treasury department. It Is to
make no reports except when called
upon by the president and lc to fur
nish no Information to congress ex
AFRAID OF REVOLVING DOOR
Lucinda Encounter* Nice Old Lady
Waiting for Company In Her
Passage.
"Did you know,” said Lucinda, "that
there are people who are afraid of re
volving doors? No? Well, they are,
old people mostly. I met one yester
day, a nice old lady
"She was standing at the Inner side
of on# of these doors In a store, and
1 thought she was waiting her turn
to step into one of the compartments
as the door revolved, and so I stood
there for a moment waiting for her to
step In; but she let three or four
‘ leaves and chances go by, and appa
1 rently she wasn't going to step In, so
finally 1 brushed by her as gently as
| I could and stepped In myself, and
; then as I stepped forward with the
door I felt somebody In the same com
| partment with me and 1 was sure It
must be the old lady I bad seed by
the door When I came up, and then I
knew It was she and that she bad
been standing there waiting for a
chance to step in behind and with
somebody else, and the next moment
she was saying to me:
"You don’t mind my coming In with
you, do you?’ and of course I said
'Certainly not!’ and then 1 stepped
along carefully and deliberately so as
not to hurry her, and I held on to the
bar In front so that nobody else In
the door could hurry it and so burry
her, and then a moment later we both
came out free and all right, clear of
the door on the sidewalk In front.
And the old lady said to me:
” 'I am very much obliged to you.
I am always afraid of those revolving
doors,' and then she smiled on me
and w-ent away.
"That was a real experience, but I
have known other people," said Lu
clnda, “who were afraid of the re
volving doors."

UNCLE JOE’S MACHINE WRECKED
$6,000 Said to Have Been Disstributed
in One Day From an Automobile—
Another Charge is Made That In
sane Persons Were Voted.
Danville, 111.. Jan. 27.—Through
State'B Attorney John H. hewman sub
poenas were secured for a dozen prom
inent democratic politicians and the
list began with the name of Judge E.
K. E. Kimbrough, the judge who with
a spirited charge began the investiga
tion that has already sent Uncle Jpe a
tried machine to the scrap heap
The second name was that of Mayor
lands Platt, the rich democratic ex
ecutive of Danville, whose election 21
months ago is said to have cost a
small fortune.
The story told the grand jury to
start this boomerang investigation in
cluded an automobile trip that Judge
Kimbrough and his real estate part
ner, Platt, are said to have made on
election day to various voting places
in Danville. The automobile is said
to have carried $6,000 in currency,
which was taken from the First Na
tional bank, an institution of which
Judge Kimbrough is vice president.
The automobile returned to Danville's
famous plaza empty. The $6,000 is
said to have gone direct to ward work
ers and passed by them to voters, who
sold out.
Mayor Platt was elected by a gan
erous majority.
In return for this bombshell, the
democrats prepared to taint the elec

AMERICAN MINISTER STEPS IIS
San Domingo and Haytl Fussing—At
This Country Has Guaranteed th.
Former’s Debts that Nation Musi
Be Peaceful—$10,000,000 at Stake
Washington, Jan 2li.—Preside n
Taft gave the nations an object let
son in shirtsleeve diplomacy and hov
the peace of the world can be acconi
plishcd. He issued peremptory or
ders to the American minister at Bat
Domingo that there must be no vva
between Ban Domingo and Haytl.
This is the first time that sueh ai
order has ever gone from the Whitt
House. The order is made possible
by the fact that the United States, by
guaranteeing San Domingo's debt tc
European nations, made of that re
public a protectorate of this govern
ment and consequently gave the Unit
ed States the power to tell Haytl tint!
she cannot interfere with America!
political institutions in San Domingo
The Effect Elsewhere.
The act of tue president wired it
San Domingo and llsyti illustrate:
what will be the effect of the cstab
Hshment of the proposed moral am!
financial protectorate over Honduras
With $10,000,00(1 of American money
invested in Honduras uud with the
convention recently signed by Secre
tary Knox and the minister of Hon
duras, the president can, when the oc
casion demands, forbid either Guatc
mala or Nicaragua to attack Hon
duras and forbid hostilities at any
time between Honduras and any Cen
tral American state,
San Domingo and Ha.vti have been
quarreling for over a year about a
frontier line. San Domingo claimed
the right to extend one of her roads
across the traditional border and this
brought up the old question of the
frontier. Doth nations armed for the
conflict and sent troops to the scene
of trouble. The president offered his
good offices. There were some per
functor? acknowledgements of the fa
vor but the armies remained in camp
The American government, there
fore, feels that the two governments
should at once unite in framing a
compromise providing for the early
adjustment of this question. Mean
while the status quo should be main
talned, Iroops should be withdrawn
from the border and work upon the
road should cease until the final set
tlemeut of the question Secretary
Knox calls attention to the sitecial
interests of this government in the
Domingan government and also to
t the peculiar Interest taken In the wel
! faro of both th(> i orr.lncan republic
| and (he republic of Huytl, ay tag that
ibis guver: meet will he glad to exer
cUta Its friendly good oii'oos to facili
tate such an arrangement.
Make Our Guarantee Good.
The Immediate interest of the Unit
ed States In San Domingo Is that the
United Slates has guaranteed the
debt of San Domingo to the European
nations. The amount guaranteed Is
* about $20,000,000, about $1,000,000 of
! which is sent every year to a bank til
1 New York to be distributed to foreign
creditors. \
The United States maintains a fon t
of customs collectors at several ports
, In Ban Domingo. An attack by llayti
! on San Domingo would obviously In
| terfere with a "policy" of the United
; States. Any armed conflict preclpl
| tated by either party would have the
same effect and It Is this that the
American mailed list proposes to pre
vent.

cept when asked by either the senate
or the house. Should the Information
on tariff matters gathered by the
board under this plan be opposed to
the ideas and policies of the admin
istration it would bo possible for the
president and congress to suppress
it.
The tariff board is given Inquisito
rial powers, such as compelling at
tendance of witnesses and production
of books, in its investigations into
the cost of productions at home with
cs peclal reference to the prices paid
for labor, rawr materials, producers
and retail prices with conditions of
domestic and foreign markets. It is
authorized to make all necessary in
vestigations abrond for the purpose of
making exact comparisons. In inves
tigating the costB of productions at
home and abroad, the board is direct
ed to take Into consideration all ques
tions concerning production, overhead
charges, capitalization, dividend ca
pacity and the money markets. This
feature was insisted on by Reprcscn
tatlve Dalzeli.
Tariff Commission to Go.
Democratic support of the bill was
won by permitting them to amend it
so that the board shall make investi
gations of any such (tariff) subject
whenever directed by either house
of congress.
As the democrats are to revise the
tariff next winter they felt they could
not afford to oppose any plan that
might result in the gathering of ad
ditional information. Provision is
made for legislating the present tar
iff commission out of existence Jul?

| “DAS RANOSCEROUS" TOO BIG
Swedish Steerage Passenger Could
Not Produce Evidence for Im
migration Inspector.
Every alien who comes to New
York in the steerage Is transferred
from the steamship to Ellis Island
soon after the liner docks. There are
some aliens, however, known as the
"bird men," who are not sent to the
Immigration station on arrival.
They are not aviators, but attend
ants who care for the big consign
ments of canaries that are shipped by
the thousands to this country from
Germany.
Inspector McGregor, one of the
boarding Inspectors of the Immigration
service, was sitting In the saloon of
the steamship Pennsylvania recently
checking up the aliens of the second
cabin.
“You say you are not to go to Ellis
Island?” he asked of a man who stood
before him. »
“No, I am not,” replied the man; "I
am a bird man."
"How do I know you are a bird
man?" asked McGregor. "Go below
and bring me up a bird bo I will have
some proof."
( The man went below and returned
| In a few minutes with a fine Belgian
canary.
"All right," said McGregor, "you may
stay aboard with your birds.”
At this remark a husky Swede be
gan to fidget nervously.
“Well, are you a bird man, too?"
asked McGregor.
“No," replied the Swede. "I bane
come over on das ship to tak care of
wan ranoscerous, but, by golly, he's
too ilum big to bring up here In das
cabin."
His Kind of Comfort
John H. K. Scott, the lawyer, who
Is an ardent automoblllst, tells a story
of a man he met while on a trip about
thirty miles outside of Philadelphia.
While driving out a little-frequented
road the lawyer says he came upon a
oar that evidently was brand new, and
which at the same time, was evident
ly out of commission. Seated on the
Btep was the driver, properly gotten
up In the style considered most cor
rect by the auto fashion magazines.
The new auto, the ultra rig and the
man’s evident helplessness all pro
claimed the beginner.
Scott brought his machine to a stop
beside the Idle car, and noticed that
Its driver held In his hand a sheet of
printed paper which he had been
reading.
Are you reading wnat to do next?
Inquired the lawyer, pleasantly.
"No," replied the stranger. “I'm
taking comfort."
"Taking comfort?" repeated Scott,
puzzled.
Yes." said the other. "You see,
this is my chauffeur's license, and it
certifies that I am competent to drive
| a machine. I just thought if I would
| read tt I would feel better."
Breaking Up Soil With Powder.
It doesn't take long to tear an acre
to pieces with the powder system now*
being used in adobe lands. A demon
stration a few days ago on the college
farm showed how thoroughly the
ground was broken up. Whether the
process is to be successful is still to
be proved. E. R, An hast has charg*
of the work now' being done. In

tough adobe was cracked from hole

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source—the blood. It is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
Uic fibrous tissues are ail preserved
in a healthful state because of con
stant nutriment supplied by the blood.
It is only when the circulation be
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec
tions. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin,and their
irritating or inflammatory effect re
mains until the blood is cleansed.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases, because
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers,
