fi THE TARIFF LAW How Aldrlch and His Alllos Pass This Bold THIEVING MEASRRE By Whkh the Great, Rich States of the Middle West and the South Will be Ground Between the Upper and Nether Millstone* to Kitrich the Trusts. Characterizing Nelson A. Aldrich k "general manager of the United States," and as by far its "most potent and powerful legislator." Judsou C. Welliver, in the July Hampton's Magazine, arraigns the Rhode Island Senator and his tariff-Juggling allies in the most scathing analysis ever made of "Ross of the Senate." Representing only fourteen States of less than seven million inhabitants, "the Aldrich phalanx." declared the article, "rules the Republican majority in the Senate, and through it to rule the Senate; and through the Senate to make a tariff law. "That law will give to the participating States, such as Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Connecticut. Rhode Island, Delaware, Montana. Wyoming, Colorado. Idaho. Nevada, Washington, North Dakota aud West Virginia, all the protection they want. The lumber of Washington, the lead of the mountain States, the citrus fruits of California, the hides of the ranges, the cotton and woolen and silk and shoe mills of New England, the iron and steel of Pennsylvania? these will be cared for. The great, rich States of Middle West and South will be "ground between the upper and nether millstones,' as Nelson of Minnesota declared on the Senate floor. "The combination of the small States of Far East and Far West, formed and directed by the cold, calculating genius of Aldrich. is the power beliiud thl9 tariff revlsiou. Senators representing only seven millions of people furnish the power with which this colossal boss, from tho smallest and the most corrupt State, makes a tariff for our population of ninety millions. "Yet even with this devoted array at his hack. Aldrich dared not to openly avow his intention of grinding the eighty-three millions between the millstones of the seven millions. The New England cotton and woolen mills were to have protection?and. therefore, their profit-power?Increased. It was unsafo to do this openly and frankly. So Aldrlch reported a bill in which, he said, there was no change In their schedules. It was true au to the figures. Dut Senator Dolliver sat up a few nights with some experts, and found that, without changing a figure. Aldrlch had. by silently rewriting the definition of cotton cloth. Increased the duties throughout. Aldrlch and his followers denied it; "but Dolliver proved it. And then he proved, further. that Aldrlch and his lieutenants did not do it: they called In the skilled agents of the manufacturers and let them fix up the details, so that the provision would be sure to serve the purpose! "That is typical of tariff-making under Aldrlch. Jokers, snakes, indirections, concealed meanings, definitions which seem to mean one thing and really mean another, juggliugs of phrase, concealment of a grain of purpose in a labyrinth of language?these are the sure systems with which the Husinet^T Senator plays his game. Regarding the charges .that Rhode Island legislatures have at times been openly and frankly purchased outright. Mr. Welllver quotes Col. A. K. McClure, of Philadelphia, who alleged that 'In making the sugar schedule of the tariff bill Aldrlch gave the Sugar Trust the benefit of one mill added duty on refined sugar, which ennbled the trust to draw down about three million dollara additional profits per year by the cheerful process of taking that much more from the people by adding it to the price of sugar. "Handling a tariff or any other great measure is to Aldrich what mapping out a campaign would be to a board of strategy. He works, works, works. paying Interest against interest, making deals and concessions and compromises, till he Is sure of votes enough on all essential propositions. He staves off the tests till he has made a combination with which to meet each one. He knows, for Instance, that with the dominant party pledged to revise the tariff, a bill must be pass ed. With that to start on, he must organize one force to protect his steel schedule, another to defend sugar. ( another to carry through his textile duties, and so on through the lift Some of the men who are with him on the steel rates, he discovers, will desert when It comes to sugar Some who are with him on stee". I ' and woolen will go over to the enemy when It. conies to cotton. So his rrmy Is a shifting and changing force, but he has resources C form which ho almost Invariably <1 commands the necessary majority. 11 He never uncover* all his forces t save In time of need. It Is always t possible for him to go over to the t Democratic side of the chamber and e muster a handful of the political ci opposition to pull through a propo- fi sltlon In which he is deeply Inter- " estod. So. If ho finds himself unable c< to pass his textile schedules with It Republican votes, he will draft a ? few Democrats who have cotton mills ai In their States: or If sugar Is doubt- to ful. the sugar Senators of the South tj SHE KNEW HIM roUNG LADY IDENTIFIED FIEND VERY READILY. Toe Sight of the Sconndrel Shocked Her and Asked Her Father to Kill Him. The State says: John Jenkims, alias "Slippery Jim," the negro * charged with attempting criminal assault on a young lady in Georgetown county, was identified by the lady. The negro was brought to Columbia Saturday night and lodged in the penitentiary for safe keeping. It was decided Sunday to bring the young lady to Columbia and accordingly she came, uccompanied by her father, and made oath that Jenkins was the negro who dragged her from the buggy and attempted the crime. She brought with her a written statement which was filed with Mr. A. J. Hethea, private secretary to to Gov. Ansel. The statement carries out practically what has already been given in the newspapers and gives no new facts as to the attempted crime. When she was shown Jenkins she begged her father to kill the negro and was absolutely prostrated as a result of the shock. This is the first case of tnis kind in that section of the country and efforts will be made at once for a speedy trial. Mr. Geo. W. Watts has written Gov. Ansel, who was out of the city, requesting a special term of court. There was at no time any danger of violence aud the people are convinced that should the law be allowed to take its course there will be no difficulty at the trial. SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES Received in Auto-Trolley Smash l'p Near Helton. A dispatch from Anderson says the death of the Rev. D. D. Rlchardsoh, which occurred at a hospital here, where he was brought soon after the accident, makes him the second victim of the automobiletrolley car collision, nine miles east of here yesterday. His skull was fractured and he never regained consciousness. The body was taken to Slmpsonvllle, near Greenville, for Interment, accompanied by Mrs. Richardson, who was also injured, and who had since been here with her husband. Mr. Richardson was thirty-six years old, and pastor of the Second Haptist church, of the Helton and Gluck mills church here. They had no children. A telephone messago from Ninety-Six said that the condition of the Rev. E. A. McDowell. another of the Injured, is very satisfactory. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Son of One of the Siamese Twins Was the Victim. The Siamese twins are mere names to the younger generation which now makes up the major portion of the circus clientele, but in the old days these men were among the wonders of the modern world. The youngest son of the twin Chang was killed Friday in North Carolina by lightning. He was thirty-eight, a deaf mute, but prosperous and popular. The twins married Virginia women, and their children have remained in the South. All have prospered, but nearly all of them were born deaf. KIKXD WILL HANG.

INSANE JEALOUSY On the Part of One Chlaatuaa Because the Girl Veat With Aaother Cbiaani?a is Now Supposed to Have Caused the Terrible Mvirder \ of the Girl. A dispatch from Nnw York says in the love letters of F t it Sigel to two Chinamen Is found the moius for the gruesome murder of Gen Frauz Sigel'B granddaughter. The ( aight the body was discovered wedg- j ed into the old trunk in the rooms or Leon Ling, in Eighth avenue, the police found a score of mor? of letters. which the girl had addressed to him. They were endearing in tone and indicated a friendship more than platonic. In searching Chinatown, the detectives raided the private rooms of Chu Gain, owner of the famous Port Arthur Chinese restaurant, and there they found about 200 letters which had been addressed to him by Elsie Sigel. These letters were even more endearing in tone than those found in Leou Ling's room, lu these she addressed him as "My own dearest beloved," and "my own dear Chu.," "ever your loving Elsie," she frequently signed herself. The Chu Goln letters gave the first information as to the motive for the murder. Miss Sigel told Chu Gain, in some of the letters, of her conduct with Leon Ling, told him not to be jealous, and explained her object In maintaining her friendship for Ling. The police will not give out the full contents of these letters. It is now supposed that Leon Ling decided tragically to end the romance of the girl he loved and his rival Her u licet Ion for Chu Gain was known, as is shown by the letters received by Chu Gkln. Lu which he and the girl are threatened with death unless their relations ceased. The murder was apparently the expectation of that threat. The Chinatown mission, popularly known as the girls' recreation rooms, was closed a few nights ago for the first time since they were opened eight years ago. No explanation was given for this action, but it is supposed that the murder of Elsie Sigel was responsible. It was in these rooms that Miss Sigel first undertook missionary work >u Chinatown, and it was here that she was brought In contact with many of the residents of that section. The young girl missionaries of Chinatown, like Elsie Sigel, use these rooms in which to meet the unfortunate women of Chinatown and there talk religion with them. On stated occasions Chinamen were invited to the rooms, and there they met the young girl missionaries. In that manner many Chinamen were Induced to attend Christian Sunday schools in different parts of the city and from these first meetings many romances have developed, the Chinamen marrying white women. The first of these weddings which occurred eight yearB ago, created much comment, but recently there have been so many such alliances that little attention is paid to them.Althongh the mission In Chinatown where Klaie Sigei formerly taught, has been closed, a meeting of Chinese who have been converted to Christianity wes held in a Doyer street mission to discuss plans for raising a fund to be offered as a reward for the capture of Klsie Sigel's slayer. No definite sum was decided upon, but a committee will go through Chinatown soliciting subscriptions. The Rev, Fung Y. Mow acted as chairman. Theories as to the motive of the murder all cotucido on the Jealousy of Leon Ling. That he killed the girl became of her apparent friendship for Chu Gain, who Is still detained as a material witness, is the predominant belief. In support of this explanation, Mrs. Florence Todd, one of the most prominent women workers in Chinatown. who knew Elsie Sigel and her mother intimately, said: "I knew Chu Gain, who is under . arrest, very well. Ho is one of the few Chinamen whom I would trust with my life. Mrs. Sigel and Elsie also knew him for many years. They worn introduced to him through an uncle of his. "I believe that Elsie was In love with Chu Guin and would have mar- ' ried him, but that he would not marry her." Here Mrs. Todd went into the most significant j>art of her statement, hat bearing on Leon Ling. Sh? ?td: "Within the last year, desnito her ove for Chu Gain. Elsie became apparently Infatuated with Loon Ling 4ut I know It was only a flirtation le. I know, asked hor to marry him. nit sho refused him. In fact, she old me that she refused him. Her lother knew all about It." Despite her statement, Mrs. Todd aid she was not inclined to believe hat Leon committed the murder, nd she went on to relate that she ad a dream that Elsie Sigrl bad 1 immitted suicide. Cbu Gain, she i ( ?id. came to her on the morning 1 > 1 June 1 4. five days after the mur- i er is supposed to ham been com- t lifted, and told her that he. too. ' 1 ad had a dream. Tn this dream, I hu Gain, according to Mrs. Todd, 11 ad seen the form of the girl, appear ' p More him crying "Chu. we me." ' ROBS TAXAS BANK A BOM) BANDIT HOLDS VP CASH1KB WITH PISTOL. ' Takes Eight Thousand Dollars in Currency and Then Ct oily Walks j Off With It. In true frontier style, a highwayman, described as gentle in appearance. robbed the branch banking house of the Waggoner Dank and Trust Company In the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, of $8,100 In currency and escaped. The robbery was the most daring Attempted in Texas in years. Cashier Walter E. King was alone in the bank after closing time, balancing the business of the day, when a man walked In. As the man approached the window of the caBhier'3 desk. King looked into the barrel of a revolver. "Make a move or a noise of any kind and I'll kill you." was the I greeting Mr. King received. I The cashier obeyed the order, i Seizing the roll of bills the man ! backed out of the door, covering ! King with the revolver. King rah J to a telephone, as he saw the man 1 walking down the street and minglingllng with the crowds with an air of unconcern. The police reached the scene five n/tnutes later, but ; the robber had disappeared. At the time of the robbery sev( eral hundred persons were near the ' building and many noted the arrival j at the bank and the departure of the j man. but his manner was 60 bland j that he did not arouse suspicion. I Several persons declare that he | climed into a waiting automobile, ! after walking several blocks. Hut the police place littlo credence ( iu this assertion aud It Is believed ' he is still in Fort Worth. Search! ing parties aro out in force. An tni terurban car which left for Dallas was overtaken by officers in an aui tomoblle, but this obvious means of escape had not been utilized. The loss to the Waggoner banks Is covered by insurance. The bank, however, offered a reward of $1,000. WIFE OF MINISTER SKITS. Said to Ilavo Disappeared With I Another Man. The congregation of Centenary Methodist Episcopal church, at Newborn. N. C.. was greatly startled Sunday morning when the pastor. Rev. R. C. Reaman, D. D.. announced to them that his wife had disappeared and rould not be located. The pastor's words were pronounced in as ! fine oratory as has ever been heard ! In that, pulpit and no word of cenj sure or bitter feeling escaped his I lips. It was a very pathetic scene. On Saturday. June 5, Dr. Beanian went to Durham to attend Trinity College commencement. Three or four days later Mrs. Beamnn left Newborn, It is said, ostensibly for Rocky Mount, but nothing has been heard from her since. Notes found In different places indicate that she has left with a man named Grant, who has been in town for a few days. The matter was known to but very few prior to the Sunday morning services. She was the minister's second wife and was about the age of his youngest daughter by his first wife. The second wife was reared at an orphan asylum. The Methodist church is the largest and most Influential in the city, and one of the | largest in the State and Dr. Beanian's charge over It has been marked with a period of prosperity. DEATHS FROM HKAT. j Thousand* of \<*vr Yorkers Sleep on Beachea. A dispatch from New York says ; the hot wave which iutlicted torture on the Kast Side was blamed for at least twelve deaths and more than a score of prostrations. No relief coming at night, more thrn 20,000 : persons went to bed on the sandy I beach at Coney Island, it being the ; first occasion this season when residents of the city sought overnight relief at the seashore. The beaches were thrown open to the public and policemen were detailed to guard the sleepers. Most of those who slept on the sands were women and their children, who lived in the crowded sections of the city. The maximum temperature of ninety-one degrees was reported at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but the most intense suffering came an hour later, following a hot rain shower, when the wind died out and the air became close and sultry. Street thermometers registered as high as ninety-four and a high temperature was maintained all day and all of Tuesday night. Wife Beater Slain. I'rank Crawford, a farmer living oar Selma. N.

MUCH LIGHT THROWN On New York's Murder Mystery by a Ooauti-yman of the Slayer of the Girl?She Went to the Chinaman's Iloom Alone and Was There Murdered. That New York murder mystery has been solved. Hatted aud Intimidated by detectives Chung Sin. one time room mate of Leon Ling, told Tuesday afternoon of Klsie Sigel's murder. I'nder the terrific, pressure of the "third degree" the little Chinaman admitted that he had seen the body in Leon Ling's room, that he had touched it while it was still warm, that he had smelted drugs and had watched Leon Ling's plans for getting the body in the trunk, where it was found horribly decomposed. Chung Sin is 3 5 years old. He was arrested at West Walway, N. 11., and was brought to New York Tuesday morning. He was bullied, persuaded aud entangled in a mass or significant questions. It was not unill late Tuesday, however, that his spirit was sufficiently broken or sufficient inducement were offered, as the case may be, for him to cast aside his air of stolidness and tell of the death of the young missionary. Then, smoking cigarette after cigarette to quiet his nerves, the Chinaman told brokenly but with brutal bluntness of the girl's death. From the man's clorr tf l?s ent thnt FJlsio Sigel first was drugged with chloroform and then choked to death. She was killed apparently on fhe night of June 9. although Chung Sin appeared a little mixed in his dntes. But he says that early in the morning of June 10 he heard a strange noise in Leon's room adjoining his aud looking over the transom saw the girl lying on the bed with a bloody towel over the mouth. He passed through the room, ho says, to go out to wash his hands, and as he did so felt the body, which was still wnrm. He went down to the chop suey restaurant below and then returned to the room. Leon, in the meantlmn, had covered the body with a blanket up to the chin and had pulled a trunk to the middle of the floor The trunk I^eon was calmly empt>iNg, preparatory to placing the body therein. The rope with which the body was bound was lying on the floor at the time, according to Chung Sin. Once again ho went down stairs, said Chung Sin. whero he remained until Leon called him. When he entered the room the body was not visible, having been bound with the rope and placed in the trunk. At this point of the story the Chinaman was asked savagely if he had not assisted Leon in nutting the body in the trunk. Chung stared perceptibly, but said that he had no hand in it. "I did not see her no more," said Chung Sin, "and when I asked Leon how she died he said sho had bitten her tongue and bled to death." Leon told him, Chung Sin added, that he iu striiu me iruiiK to Jersey City, thence to Kurope. As a mutter of fact it lay untouched in the stuffy little room until Sun Ling, proprietor of the restaurant below, noticed the oder about the building and summoned the police. Until Chung Sin's complete account is made public it will not be explained why he saw the dead girl and the preparation for the removal of the body with such apparent unconcern at the time. Also, despite repeated interrogations he declined to say Just what happened in the rear loom when the girl was murdered. He admitted having heard a scuffle n the room during the night and told of Klsie having arrived on the previous afternoon, the day when she disappeared from hei home. "Hid Leon take her there or did she go of her own accord." he was asked. "She went there alone." he replied. "Was she in love with Leon or Leon in love with her?" was another question. At this Chung Sin relapsed into silence and then only smiled and shook his head. He indicated, however, that the Rlrl had sought out the Chinnman. Incidentally he said tlint Leon Ling and Chu Cain had come to blows over the girl In Chinatown some weeks ago. The police theory is that Leon killed the girl because of her attention to Chu Gain.
