high protection Republican Con- u
gressman expressed himself today, ?
while discussing this subject, v,
which is the political sensation of ^
the hour. ni
Leading Republicans like n,
Grosvenor and lJahcock, both tll
members ot the committoe on Cl
ways and means, are outspoken in j
their condemnation of such a (}
cours i as is proposed by Secretary
Taft uad the canal commission.
"Wo are furnishing the Democrats
wilh sulHcient ammunition |t
to blow il.o old protection ship of le
State .out of the water, if the)
take advantage of the opportunity ,l*
it gives," said (ion Grosvenor to- ^
day. The general was I ?atb to
place ull the hlamo upon the Presi- cm
dent's shoulders, hut us one of C
tho leading apostles of tho high *
protective system ho roluctimtlv
confesses that tlie course proposed
is an admission to the whole world
that the protective system, upon ^
which tho Republican party won
its wuy to power in this country,
is false in principle and not the
foundation of American piosperity
(
There are hut few Democrats
of national prominence here now,
but the rank and tile of that party, ^
who have consistently fought the ^
protection theory, are un-mimous ^
in declaring that President linoee- ^
veil is at heart an antiprotectinn- ^
iat, and, without intending to do
so, has furnished the Democratic
81
leaders with "the big stick" with
^ 81
which the protective system may j
be successfully attacked in every j
Democratic newspaper and on
every Democratic stump.

Wile Charged With Procuring the

j
Parkcrsburg, W Va.t May 16. \
?On Ma> 3 at midnight masked j
men entered the home of Henry t
Hlackshire at Hrookville, Calhoun
county, and shot him dead
| in the presence of his wife and
|son. Tonight Mrs Hlackshire is
j in the Calhoun county jail. Her.
neighbor, Robert McCloskey, is 1
in the same prison, and Louis
Hendricks is in the Parkcrsburg
jail all charged with complicity
in the murder. The arrest of Mrs
Hlackshire today was brought
about by the statement of Hendricks.
lie slid he was at Mr
Closkey's home several days before
the murder and heard Mrs
Blackshire otter McCloskey money
to kill her husband; and say
that if he refused she would get
some one else to do it. He-says
he told Mrs Hlsckshiro after the
murder what he heard and she offered
to give him $100 as soon as
she collected her husband's life insurance
if he would leave town,
lie and McCloskey left together
the day following the murder and
remained near Parkersburg till
McCloskey returned to Brookvillc
on Sunday to get his pay, and
while there he w?. *t 'need in jail.
During their absence Mrs Blackshire
attempted to collect the insurance,
which amounted to $1,
000. l'ublic sentiment was so'
outraged over the reports of her
complicity that she was threatened
with lynching, but no attempt
was made to wreak vengeance on
her. McCloskey admitted being
at the house at the time of the
murder and also says Mrs Blackshire
wanted her husband out of
the way, but charges Hendricks
with the murder.
