DEFiAT TAKKifF PUNS
Republicans Will Oppose All legls*
^ Ifttion Looking to a Revision of the
Tariff, Rut the Democrats May Use
Reciprocity as a Club to l*uNh
Through Revision Rills.
Despite the fact that the Democrats
of the House, by ofllcial caucus action,
have declared a purpose to en^
act tariff legislation during the extra
session of Congress, which begun last
Tuesday, the prediction is freely
made in Congressional circles that no
such legislation can be put through
the Senate, and that the extra session
will adjourn earlier than has
generally been anticipated.
Sentiment among the regular Republicans
in the Senate is overwhelmingly
against any sort of tarih
revision at the extra session. With*
k out the support of the progressives
the Democrats cannot possibly get
any tariff bills through the uppei
branch of Congress,
j It is apparent that the regular Re*
publicans of the Senate will do everything
in their power to postpone all
matters of general legislation until
the regular session next December. It
is reported that a number of the
progressive Republicans are likely to
fall in with this idea.
There is every reason to believe
that the regulars will promise the insurgents
to facilitate consideration
of schedule by schedule revision o..
the tariff at the regular session ol
Congress if no attempt is made to put
through such legislation at the extra
session. With such an agreement between
the Republicans, it is believed
that the Democrats might not at
tern,;t to prolong the extra session
until late in the fall.
In certain quarters it is reported
that the Democrats of the House will
^ hold reciprocity up until the Senate
^ and President havo acted favorably
on a number of revisions of the present
Tariff law which the Democrat
intend making. The report has it
that the House majority fears ?the
President and Senate will "doublecross"
them if the Canadian agreement
is passed before any tariff revision
is made, by the President adjourning
Congress, which he can do
^ under the Constitution if the Sen\
ate should get into a disagreement
with the House on the question 01
time of adjournment.
The Democratc House leaders will
go ahead with their program reil
11 i l- i _ i. A ~ c xi i ^
garoiess or ine i)rcjiiiiui? i<ue ui m?ir
measures in the Senate until auch a
time ae the Senate clearly demonBtrates
that it will give no consid^
eration to general legislation during
the extra session. In this way
the Democrats feel they will have '
done their utmost to fulfill their
pledfeea at the earliest possible moment.
Some of the Senate Democrats are
strongly in favor of waiting until the
regular session convenes before revising
the tariff. They declare that J
r tho Republicans already have passed
big appopriation billc for the next
fiscal year and that revenues must bt
raised to meet them. During the
regular session the tariff could be revised
and tho new appropriation bills '
scaled down accordingly.
The promise made by President
Taft that the tariff board will be
ready with a complete report on the
textile schedules of the tariff by December
1, next, and the hope he has
informally expressed that Congress
will decide to wait for this report be- I
fore acting on thevse schedules, makes
tho situation a little more difficult
for the Democrats in that the insurgent
vote in the Senate has an ex- ?
j ruse for crawfishing on their demand f
% for tariff reform.
M Tt is pointed out that with a report
on the much-discussed cotton
and woolen schedules promised by c
next December, the insurgent Repub- c
licans will not stultify themselves by ^
voting for Houso hills amending j
these schedules without regard to the
tariff board. There is little doubt 'j
but that consideration of the recipro- j
city measure >.511 occupy many weeks
of the Senate's time. It is argued
that it would he late in June before ^
consideration could be given in the
Senate to a House bill dealing with (J
even one schedule of the Payne-Aid- j
rich law.
With a determination of thirty or
more Senators that no such legisla
- l - 1 ? X it, ? A _
tlon should do enaciea at tut? ?xira
session, it can be easily seen, according
to the Republican leaders, that 11
attempts to get such measures ^
through ahe extra session would be
futile. This does not mean that the ?
President will look unkindly toward
a revision of the tariff on necessities ^
of life not included in the Canadian ^
agreement. In fact, it is to the con- a
trary. The President expects the Democrats
and insurgent Republicans to
make reductions in the tariff.
Mrs. Champ Clark is to be a social
leader at Washington. We hope b
she gets the government clerks to *
attend all her parties so as to ro- g
lievo the strain of their distressing if
overwork. r

A SERIOUS CHARE
A FAKE DOCTOR ARRESTED IN
FLORENCE COUNTY.
+ i
He is Charged With Selling Medicine
to Aiken County Negroes Containing
Poison.
The Florence Times says according
to information giver' /'t at police
headquarters here morning Aiken
county authorities have secured
the capture of a man whom, it is alleged,
killed two negroes and attempted
to kill the third one in that
county by administering poisonous
drugs while he was traveiirg througn
the country claiming to be a doctor
and selling the negroes his medicine.
His name Is given as Frank Wlnterman
alias Frank Slate. It is stated
that the case was worked up against
him by a well-known negro of this
city who knew Slate when he lived
at Aiken at the time it is alleged he
poisoned these negroes in 1905. Slats,
is said to be a white man but has
lived with the negroes practically all
of his life. A warrant was issued for
his arrest in Aiken but he escaped
and has been traveling in various
parts of the county.
He was arrested here a few days
ago bq Health Officer Deberry on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly
and was turned over to Policeman
Haselden and locked up. Chief Koopmnn
whn hnd hfinn in r.nmm iinfp.nt.inn
with the negro man there whom it is
said knew all about Slate's movements,
telegraphed Sheriff Raybourn
of Aiken and he came last night to
carry the prisoner back to that county
for trial.

Following the tragic death of Conitable
Ed Lindsay, who was shot to

THEY WANT BRYAN
MEMPHIS OFFERS HIM GREAT INDUCEMENTS
TO COME.
The Great Commoner Tells People
From Tennessee City That He Must
Remain at Lincoln.
A special dispatch from Washington
to the New York World says the
assertion is made here that Memphis
is willing to put up a million dollars
to induce William Jennings Bryan to
take up his abode and publish the
Commoner there.
A year ago a movement; for a
greater Memphis was started, ana
today a delegation of leading citizens
came to Washington to extend an invitation
to the thrice defeated can
dldate for President to move to their
city and make it his future home.
Mr. Bryan said he had no intention
of leaving Lincoln, Neb., except
for his farm In Texas, but the Tennesseeans
insist they are going to
get him, and on Thursday will entertain
him at a luncheon and tender
him their fozmal invitation.
Another Washington dispatch says
William Jennings Bryan Thursday
told the committee sent by the citizens
of Memphis to invite him to
make his home in that city that he
could not accept. The invitation was
extended at a luncheon given Mr.
Tlrvnn liv flin
? '? J l?IA J tuvy VV/1UI1I A V?/VvVy.
Judge James M. Greer of Memphis,
chairman of the committee, as
(oastmaster presented the Memphis
idea. He was followed by Senators
Gordon of Tennessee, Representative
Ivea and Taylor and Representative
Sisson of Mississippi and Robinson
of Arkansas and Duke C. Rowers of
'Memphis. They begged Mr. Rryan to
come where "the people loved him;
where he would find friends."
Mr. Bowers said he felt sure that
Memphis would easily raise $2,000,000
if that would be any inducement
to Mr. Bi*yan to live in his city.
Mr. Bryan replied that it was not
a money consideration, and that if
ne looKea at it in tnat ngnt, ne wouia
not be worthy of such an invitation.
Ho said he knew he had friends in
the South who would stand hy him
and that was why they did not need
him there; they needed him more in
the North. Suggesting that he should
not he on one edge of the country,
he said, his home at Lincoln is almost
the center of the country and
only about two days ride to any section
where he might he needed to ,
help fight for the cause of Democracy.

MISS HOOD IS ALIVE
SUPPOSED
DEAD, SHE IS LIVING
WITH BOGUS LORD.
Gained Fame in 1906 as the Last of
the Victims of "Lord Percy Sholto
Douglas."
Mourned as one dead because she
was supposed to have been murdered
by John C. Cavendish, alias "Lord
Percy Sholto Douglas," Josephine
Hood, a member of one of the leading
families of Aeheville, N. C., who
became a victim of the wiles of the
preposessing Englishman, by a cer
emony of marriage, Dec. 16, li?U6, at
Lake Charles, La., has broken the silence
of years by writing to an aunt
in her home town.
In her letter she cites some circumstances
of adventure befalling her in
company wUh the bogus lord, to
which she seems bound by a hypnotic
spell, since she declares her belief in
his uprightness and that she is happy
and is cared for in luxurious style.
She carefully refrains from telling
her present address.
The letter was mailed on a train
going west from New Orleans. Mrs.
Cavendish tells of trips around the
world, of 20 trans-Atlantic voyage*,
of visits to Europe, Asia and Africa.
She mentions many gifts of jewels
from her husband and his lavish expenditures
which suggest that Cavendish
may be an International gambler.
Cavendish was notorious as a bigamist
at the time of his marriage
with Miss Hood, and she Is believed
to be his ninth wife. The present
Mrs. Cavendish does not indicate that
she knows of his earlier marriages,
but does say plainly that she could
not communicate before or return to
her home because Cavendish has
troubles he hopes soon to overcome
and then they will live in Los Angeles.
Cavendish is said to have married
eight women in as many different
parts of the United States before he
met Miss Hood. One of these he
married in Los Angeles, one in Fort
Worth, Tex.; one in Norfolk, Va.,
one in Georgia, one in Denver, Colo.,
one in New Orleans, La., and one in
Ohio. All of these women are said
to have written to Miss Hood's aunt,
but she has kept no memoranda of
their names. He soon deserted all of
them except Miss Hood.

PREY OF MOSQUITOES
?
QUEEN IS BOUND TO STAKE AND
LEFT TO PERISH.
Cruel Vengeance Exacted by the
Ruler on an Erring Woman May
Wipe Out Colony.
Quietly but persistently, and with
promise of startling revelations, the
United States has turned its coldly
inquiring gaze on a condition of affairs
that exist on the island of St.
Malo on the coast of Louisiana. The
circumstances hark back a full century
when the French pirate Lafittt,
was a very real bugbear to voyagers
seeking homes and fortunes in the i
French colonies of Louisiana. From .
4
those times up to the present the island
has been held by an outlaw male
community of semisavages, having ^
their own government, ^vhich they <
called a "Free Republic," and administering
justice through their own j
council. Once or twice there have S
been perfunctory effects to bring this i
island under the laws of this country 1
but. only recently has there been prov- i
ocation sufficient to inspire energetic c
investigations. S
Up to the time of the recent trag- i
edy in which poor, wayward, romantic <
Marie La Vigne, a mainland beauty i
of Acadian descent lost her life, the 1
island was referred to as an "Eve- t
less Eden." Women were not tol- I
erated. Up to the present the details '
of the tragedy which Marie La Vigne
brought upon herself are somewhat 1
vague, except her horrible death.
She captivated the master of the

boatload of fish until he became so i
obsessed by her charming figure and I
coquettish glances that he dared to (
violate tradition by letting her ac- ]
company him home. For some months
he was able to reconcile his people '
to the presence of his "queen," as
'Marie insisted upon calling herself.
Gradually younger men of the col- 1
ony lost their prejudices, under the
inbuence of Marie's glances. Pres- ]
ently the master found he did not oc- <
cupy the whole of Marie's heart, t
worse, that his rivals were not only i
successful, but numerous. i
Marie's public accuser was the >
master himself. And his thirst for I
vengeance was so fierce that he
turned her over to her worst ene- f
mies, the council of elders, for trial, c
There was no lack of evidence. Ac- i
cording to the barbarous standard of p
the community, a punishment to fit c
the crime was announced by the r
council: t
"Get her be eaten alive by mos- c
quitoes!" \
rn_ ~!i _ ? ^ 1 J i i .11 j .. _
i no council 01 eiuers, in delivering z
this terrible judgment, also swore e
the islanders to permit no future in- h
vasion of the island by any women, n
Then Marie La Vigne was led forth
to execution. li
She was hound to a stake in the s
marshes naked, where swarms of h
mosquitoes and gnats denied any possibility
that she would live long
enough to suffer pangs of hunger.
Such is the outline of the tragedy ^
which has turned the gaze of tT,e authorities
on the whole problem of
civilizing St. Malo, and, if possible,
bringing to justice the murderers of
poor Marie La Vigne. s
