HARTIK_0H TARIFF
Senate Duties on Cotton In
crease Above Rates of
iMngley Bill
Washington, July 2ft.—Representa
tive Martin, of South Dakota, dropped
a bomb into the tariff conference todav
oy demonstrating that the senate duties
on cotton goods were increased over the
Dingley rates. It frequently was
charged during the tariff debates that
tue cotton duties had been raised by
the Aldrich committee, but it remained
for Mr. Martin to present detailed
figures showing an actual increase.
According to Martin's compilations
the Aldrich rates on cotton cloth are
increased not less than 10 per cent over
the Dingley and house bills. The in
crease on unbleached cotton is from 4
to N4 per cent, on bleached from 4 to
88 per cent, and on colored and dyed
cloth from 0 to 5fi per cent.
Mr. Martin has been bard at work
for weeks on the compilation of the
cotton duties and nis discovery has
caused all the tariff experts here to
pay renewed attention to the cotton
schedules.
Chairman Payne, who has taken
great iutsrest in Mr. Martin's figures,
called him into conference witb three
cusroms bureau experts today to dis
cuss wnether the cotton rates had
been raised by the senate bill. Mr.
Martin convinced these experts there
had been an increase. The treasury
department completed the comparison
of the cotton rates today, corroborat
ing Mr. Martin's compilations. The
treasury department tables weie pre
pared at the instigation of President
Taft, who was much impressed by Mr.
Martin's demonstration to him of in
creases in the cotton duties. Encour
aged by the support Mr. Martin has
been giving him, Chairman Payne
made a renewed effort today to get the
conferees to agree to the house rates on
cotton goods and is understood to have
been partially successful
Mr Martin and those who stand
with him, and tbey are not insurgents
either,but strictly regular republicans,
are undecided just how far they will
go in demanding that all the increases
of the cotton duties be stiicken from
the bill. It is believed if tne presi
dent indicates a desire for them to
make a fight on the proposed rutes they
will oattle to the last ditch, but they
do not seem disposed to defeat the en
tire tariff bill on account of one objec
tionable schedule if the president is
willing to sign the measure. If given
a chance, however, Mr. Martin is like
ly to lead the fignt in the house against
the cotton increase and is confident he
can conviuce the majority that the
rates should be kept at the Dingley
level.
LADY WHIPS
Autoist Who Carelessly Ran
Into Her Baby Carriage
Arlington, Neb., July 25.—Because
he ran his automobile into the baby
DUggy in wnich her little sister was
sleeping, Mrs. Edward Ludwig.a lead
er in local society, snatched a whip
from a bystander and gave the autoist
a first class thrashing After receiv
ing the beating the man, who was a
stranger in Arlington, jumped into his
machine and left town.
Mrs. Ludwig, wheeling ber baby
carriage in which the little girl was
sleeping, attempted to cross a street.
As she did so a big automobile whizzed
down the street and, without making
an effort to check or guide his ma
chine, the autoist, who was alone in
the car, ran into the baby buggy.
The shock caused some part of the
machinery to balfc and the automo
bile came to a stop.
Mrs. Ludwig collared the automo
bilist, wnom she dragged from his car.
and with a whip which she seized from
a bystander, gave the autoist a good
lashing, the crowd which quiek»y
gathered preventing the fellow from
fighting back.
After the whipping the man prom
ised never again to run into a baby
carriage, and was permitted to go on
his way. The buggy was badly
wrecked, but the little girl was not in
juxed.
TANNERY MEN RESUME WORK
While Net Settled, Strike Is Believed
to Be Over.
Kenosha, Wis., July 36.—Work was
resumed in all departments of the Al
len tannery and it is thought that the
strike, while not settled. Is prac
tically over. Nine hundred men are
at work and one of the officers of the
tannery says the strike Is over. No
trouble of any kind developed.
Mr. P. G. Fritte, Oneonta, N. Y.
writes: "My little gi*l was greatly ben
etitted by tailing Foley's Orino Laxa
tive, and I hitik it is the best remedy
for constiprtion and liver trouble."
Foley's Oriuo Laxative is best for women
and children, as it is mild, pleasant and
effeotivo, and is a splendid spring medi

clears the comnlection.- J. H. Anderson
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, HS they oannut
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure denfness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
ditionof the mucous lining of the Eu
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
rtmned you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing1, and when it is en
tirelr closed, deafness is the result, and
unless tbe intiamation can be taken out
and this tube is restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destrojed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaoes.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

t:! le physical, mental and moral In
rltances is to be made the subject of
a -ampalgn by the American Academy

As an Initial step In the movement a
"lference Is to be held in New Haven
i xt November, at which leading phy
lans, sociologists and educators
f'i all parts of the United States
ill Join forces In a study of the prob
i- a. The general subject of the con
ference will be "The Prevention of In
at Mortality," and the four aspects
'i -der which It will be constdeml are
medical, philanthropic, institutional
educational.
nr. James 11. Mason Knox, Jr., of
ih.» Johns Hopkins Medical school,
1 ltimore, is chairman of the section
!i medical prevention, and Dr. Itlch
n nl A. Urquhnrt, also of Baltimore, is
-rotary of the section. Such topics
:ih congenital debility, improper care
and environment, communicable dis
cuses and the dangers which arise
from unhealthful surroundings and un
cleanly or unsuitable food will have
right of way In this section. Edward

Slaughter of the Innocents.
That thousands upon thousands of
children fall to get the chance Just to
keep on living Is proved every year by
a glance at the mortality tables. The
last figures of the government reports
available are those of 1007 for the fif
teen largest cities in point of popula
tion In the United States. They show
that during the single year ending
June 1, 1907, the number of deaths of
children under two years of age was
nearly 00,000. New York city took
first rank In this slaughter of the ln
nocentg with 21,882 deaths out of a
total of 70.02M3 deaths of persons of all
ages. Chicago came next with 8,381
out of a total mortality of 82,198.
Philadelphia had 6,632 out of a total
mortality of 27,470, Baltimore 3,974
out of 11,182 and Washington 1,339
out of a total mortality of 6.343.
The New Haven conference Is to be
held under the auspices of the Amer

derson, professor of sociology of the
University of Chicago, and several
others.
Problems to Be Considered.
All the problems which affect the
life and health of the little ones will
be touched upon In the section on edu
cational prevention. The sources of a
city's milk supply may be Investigated
first of all for the sake of the babies'
health. Sanitary conditions in the
home, especially in tenement houses
and other dwellings where sanitation
Is not the crowning thought of the in
mates, will also be looked into, and, in
fact, everything that has a bearing
upon the life and health of little chil
dren will receive the careful thought
of eminent scientists and others com
petent to deal with such martters.
The outcome cannot fail to be of
vast benefit to the bablea and to the
grownup folks as well

How W. K.
Vanderbilt,
Jr., Saved
His Life While
Speeding.
WANTED TO BREAK RECORD.
Clung by One Hand to 8teerlng Wheel
as Accident to Flying Car, Goinj
Ninety Miles an Hour, Lifted Him In
Air on Long Island Motor Parkway.
Alone In a big 100 horsepower racing
•utomoblle, running ninety miles an
hour on the Long Island motor park
way, Willie K. Vanderbilt, Jr., re
cently performed an almost unbeliev
able feat of good driving and cool
courage that saved him from being
crushed to death In the most danger
ous sort of accident.
Ever since he has been operating
high powered machines, a matter of
ten or twelve years, young Mr. Van
derbilt has enjoyed a title among ex
perts which the public has seldom
heard. They call him, and mean it,
"the best racing driver In Ameri-a."
Various spectacular exploits of the
hairbreadth sort made his reputation
But none of his feats quite eqtials his
latesc one.
Mr. Vanderbilt drove from his home
at Lakevllle to the race course, which
he helped to found, in his new $15,000
Renault machine.
Started Out For a Record.
When he got upon the concrete sur
face of the parkway, over which part
of the Vanderbilt cup race of last
year was run, the idea occurred to
him to go after the record of the
course. Recently one of the profes
slonal drivers covered the twelve miles
of concreted roads in eight minutes
flat The young millionaire sportsman
thought he could beat this with his
new car.
He sent the Renault, "under wraps,"
one fast lap In a trifle over ten min
utes, taking the time by a stop watch
fastened to his steering wheel. Then
he opened up a little more and made
a second lap in a shade above nine
minutes. The third lap was the one
he really intended to be the record
breaker. There was no other car on
the course, and conditions were per
feet for a wonderful s[eed test.
With a fast flying start at Westbury.
Mr. Vanderbiltshoved his gas and spark
controls wide open, and the big racer
leaped ahead with a roar of explosion?
It boomed across the little wooden
bridges that carry the course over the
public highways and racketed through
the cutouts where it runs on the level
at seventy,eighty and then ninety miles
an hour, with the daring driver hold
ing It steady to the center of the twen
ty foot road.
The Renault shot past the big grand
stand, skidded around a right hand
curve luto the next to the last straight
away stretch of the twelve miles and
plunged forward toward Central par)
away ahead of the record. It seemed
likely that Mr. Vanderbilt would cover
the course in a good many seconds less
than eight minutes, which means trav
eling more than ninety miles an hour.
In Peril When Crank Pin Broke.
But in the Central park stretch the
universal Joint broke. That is the
mechanism that transfers the power
from the crank shaft under the four
big cylinders to the driving shaft that
runs to the rear axle. The universal
Joint In a Renault is directly under
the little iron seat upon which the
driver sits.
With tremendous force the big steel
mechanism, released from the crank
shaft, plunged upward and struck
against the iron seat. It had almost
the impetus of a cannon ball. Thi
blow flung Mr. Vanderbilt upward Rn
forward. First his breast struck agalnsi
the steering wheel then he shot head
first out over the car's sloping hood.
By what seemed like a miracle he
managed to grab the wheel again as
he shot high over it, and for an Instant
all his weight was upon one hand, like
an acrobat posing on a bar with his
feet aloft. As bis body turned and
his feet struck the sloping hood he still
clung with the one hand to the wheel
He had turned almost a complete som
ersault and hadn't been shaken off.
When the Joint broke, no more
power, of course, was sent to the rear
wheels, so now the car was coasting.
The plunging of the loose shaft had
half locked the wheels, too, greatly re
ducing the speed. But It was still
going fast enough to be death dealing.
Kept His Presence of Mind.
While Mr. Vanderbilt clung to the
wheel, the car turned suddenly from
the center of the road to one side and
began to climb a steep embaukment
It was as good as certain that If it
ever got halfway up it would turn
over upon Its side and perhaps bury
the driver beneath its great bulk
But he didn't let It. With another re
markable contortion he managed t
grasp the emergency brake. Ho
Jammed It fast and brought the big
gray racer to a stop with Its blunt nose
only a few feet up the embankment.
One lamp was smashed, but the ex
ternal machine was not otherwise
wrecked.
Mr. Vanderbilt found that he wasn't
at all injured, so he walked to the
nearest telephone and called up a
garage In New York to send a couple
of expert mechanicians out In his
Ilotchkiss car H» did not say what
had happened. When the men arrived
at the place they found him calmly
tinkering with the disabled Renault
He told them in n matter of fact wav
what had caused the breakdown and
seemed more interested in the *fcli
nical side of the situation than In the
part he had played.—New York Amer
