Mr. Roosevelt inspected the mission and
afterward had luncheon with 40 mis
sionaries and their wives. Rev. Mr
Hui-lburt welcomed Mr. Roosevelt. In
replying the ex-President expressed his
inffT6 t- ,bemg able to sce th African
Inland mission.

sonally, Mr. Roosevelt continued. "I am
pleased to see. the settlers and to find
you, working together, as it would be no
ri! tne missionary, the settler or
the official to do otherwise. I have a
peculiar feeling for the settlers working
in this new country, as they remind me

I believe with all my heart that large
Parts bf East Africa form the white

build up a prosperous and numerous pop
ulation. Hence I am asking the settlers
to co-operate with the missionaries and
treat the native justly and bring him to
a higher level.
"I particularly appreciate the way your
interdenominational industrial mission is
striving to teach the African to help
himself by industrial education, which
l a prerequisite to his permanent ele
vation. It seems to me that you ' are
doing your work in a spirit of disinter
ested devotion to an ideal."
WOULD KILL INCOME TAX
(Continued' Fiom Klrst Page.)
replied to La Follette's assaults upon the
work of the finance committee and made
a. general defense of amendments which
he asserted were necessary. Through
out the day the temperature in the
Chamber was sweltering. It is said
another effort will be made to obtain a
rote on the cotton schedule tomorrow.
La Follette Flays Penrose.
The attack made on La Follette last
night aroused expectation of a storm
when he continued his speech today
and nearly every Senator was present
He offered the explanation of his ab
sence already mentioned, and then
turning toward Aldrlch, remarked that
"the Senator stood on this floor as any
other Senator. He forgets it some
limes," he added.
Then, referring to the session of last
evening as sensational to such an ex
tent as to obscure the debate of the
day," he proceeded, turning to Penrose,
who sat in his place on the opposite
side of the chamber facing him.
"As to the remarks of the Senator
from Pennsylvania, he said, "I would
suggest that he would render a more
Important service to the country and to
his state if he would account for the
yay he spends his time when absent
!rom this body than in any effort to
nake an account for my time."
Sitting upright and leaning: forward,
Penrose gave close attention to every
word of the Senator from Wisconsin.
The galleries were crowded and the in
tense stillness seemed to presage a
scene.
'I might add." continue the Senator
from Wisconsin, "that no ma'n could
undertake to account for the where
abouts of the Senator from Pennsyl
vania without transgressing the rules
of the Senate, and I do not."
Says Misstatement Withdrawn.
Penrose, interrupting, referred to an
article in a magazine published by the
Senator from Wisconsin as misrepre
senting himself and Pennsylvania.
Reading the article complained of.
Penrose was promptly answered by La
Vollette, who said the statements were
taken from a newspaper, and when de
nied by that publication, were promptly
withdrawn by his own magazine.
Penrose asked to be referred to the
denial and was assured that he would
be furnished with the magazine con
taining it. La Kolletto then proceeded
with his analysis of the tariff bill.
Increased luty on Cotton.
Illustrating his remarks with samples
that he said had been procured through
the chief examiner of the New York
Onstom-House. LaPollette explained the
difference in duties carried by the pending
bill and those imposed by the Dingley
law, for the purpose of showing increases.
I-aFollette discussed at length the cost
of mercerized fabrics.
When he had concluded the exhibition
of his samples, Dixon Inquired whether
he would permit Smoot to try to ex
plain the changes in duties In each case.
liiFolleite said he would furnish
samples of all the goods he had exhibited
to every Senator, and the Senator from
Utah could give his views on them. How
ever, he declined to permit an interrup
tion of his speech.
Aldrlch told the Senators that he pro
posed to make a statement explaining the
crunmittee's amendments "and to cor
rect any misapprehension instilled in
their minds by a torrent of misinforma
tion and misrepresentation." Aldrlch re
viewed the history of the cotton schedule,
saying that in no tariff act have there
been fixed rates so low as in the sched
ule pertaining to cotton cloth and cotton
manufactures generally. He said cloths
valued at from 7 cents to 20 cents now
pay specific rates, and these have not
been changed by the Senate bill.
Reviewing various court decisions in
reference to the schedule, Aldrich de
clared that the "Government has paid out
as much as 5.0U0,00O as refunds of duties
on account of decisions resulting from
MISSIONARIES
ambiguity In the nfnripv low u- .. . j
a recent decision of the Supreme Court
would require the Government to make
a refund of J500.000. .
The Senate adopted LaFollette's reso
lution calling on the President to send to
the Senate correspondence between the
State Department and the German gov
ernment, or its representatives, relating
to the German report on wages.

WILL VINDICATE ALDRICH
Autocrat Will Present German Criti
cisms on Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 4. The sum
mary of contents of various memorials
or German chambers of commerce and
industrial establishments criticizing
statements made by American manu
facturers who appeared tbef ore the com
mittee of the House, w.Il be presented
to the Senate tomorrow by Aldrich,
chairman cf the finance committee. He
considers it a sufficient vindication of
his action in charging the German
manufacturers had been "impertinent"
in their Invasion of American legisla
tive halls to influence Congressmen
1 It is contended that the request made
mrougn American diplomatic and con
sular representatives in Germany for
facts relating to the wage scale in the
various industries in Germany was sent
abroad before the hearings on the tariff
bill were begun. Nevertheless, it is
shown that the desired information was
not gathered by German chambers of
commerce and manufacturers until the
hearing given by the committee had
been published.

ANNA KOLB'S APPEAL TO CLEM
INSON REPULSED.
With Hysterical Screams, One of
Women He Loved Strives to
Get Confession.
CHICAGO, June 4. There was a dra-
UilSi ace"e ln the Sheffield-avenue
police station today when Miss Anna
ivolb was taken to the cell occupied
py Dr. Haldane Cleminson. alleged by
the police to have murdered his wife.
Ir?3 lrom Miss Kolb that the police
obtained the names of a number of
women with whom Dr. Cleminson is
alleged to have been on friendly terms.
Miss Kolb admitted that she had been
a patient under Cleminson at the Chi
cago Union Hospital and that he had
paid attention to her.
Upon being taken to the physi
cian's cell. Miss Kolb screamed hys
terically. She was left there for ten
minutes. What the conversation be
tween the two was about, the police re
fused to make public, but it was
learned that their talk terminated with
a second series of screams by Miss
Kolb, and she was led away.
Captain Kan stated that Miss Kolb.
while of value in the investigation of
the case, was not the woman most
wanted.
It was learned that Miss Kolb had ad
vised Dr. Cleminson to "tell the police
the names of the women all of them,"
and had been angrily repulsed by the
doctor.
The Coroner's inquiry into the death
of Mrs. Cleminson 1 was postponed until
June IS.
Dr. Cleminson was taken to the court
room in a patrol wagon. His pale face
showed the strain under which he has
been laboring. His father, Isaiah Clem

moments of the proceedings and accom
panied him back to his cell.

Death Sentence. ' -
LAW PRESCRIBES PENALTY
Preference of Convict for Death
Penalty Cannot Be Considered,

Must Overrule It.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Albert T. Pat
ricks application for a writ of habeas
corpus releasing him from Sing Sing
prison, where he is under life sentence
TUr?r of W- M- Rice- wa denied
by the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn today.
In the opinion, which was written by
Justice Jenks. the most striking para-
Ile noming mat "the degree
of punishment is not determined by the
preference of the convict." This was in
answer to Patrick's declaration that his
imprisonment was a greater hardship
than death. The opinion says:
"I find no force in the contention that
there cannot be a commutation of the
punishment of death to that of life im
prisonment, because commutation implies
a less punishment, but life imprisonment
is a greater punishment than death It
is the common judgment of man tnat to
deprive the criminal of his life is the
greatest punishment known to modern
times. '
"The people of this state have in effect
determined that this penalty is the most
severe by prescribing it as the punish
ment for the highest crimes only murder
in the first degree ana treason and by
prescribing that in the former case only
the appeal is direct to our highest court.
There can be no question that, as regards
the offender, our scheme of punishment
regards that punishment which leaves
life as less than that which ends it.
"The relator argued that he had never
accepted that commutation, but he con
cedes in his printed points, that commu
tation does not require his acceptance.
Such, I think, is the law."
HEINZES MEN SOUGHT
FEDERAL MARSHALS LIE IN
. WAIT FOR DIRECTORS.
Officers Fall to Catch Quarry, How
ever, and Meeting Is Held -Without
Capture.
NEW YORK, Juno 4. In an effort to
subpena new directors of the United Cop
per Company whom F. Augustus Heinze
practically elected on Wednesday, a
squad of United States marshals remained
at the office of the
day, understanding that there was to
be a meeting. Late in the afternoon it
was learned that the directors had met
elsewhere. . ,
Other developments included the appear
ance of Sanford Robinson, a former direc
tor, before the grand jury in order to
clear himself of contempt of court. When
Robinson came from the grand jury it
was understood that he had purged him
self and District Attorney Wise expressed
confidence that he would soon have the
books.
With the books in the hands of the
Federal authorities, the inquiry into the
affairs of the Mercantile National Bank
which failed in the panic of 1907, will
begin and the transactions of F. Augustus

which time the ostensible sales had been
100.000 shares. This was the first day
since May 15 three weeks ago tomorrow
on which the stock has failed to reach
a higher price than that of the day be
fore. The realizing sales today were undoubt
edly enormous, during the -afternoon, ln
fact, there was abundant evidence of
them, even in the stocks which had been
run up with particular violence in the
morning.
The continued ease of money Is of
course, a large, factor in the present spec
ulative movement, as are also the
uniform reports-of improved industrial
conditions and a general belief In the
excellence of crop prosp.cts. Another
important factor is the introduction of
American securities on the Paris
Bourse.
It was rumored that a private set
tlement of some 70.000 shares of United
States steel common was effected for a
large short interest at a price higher
than the stock has yet sold in the open

compelling them to remain there, and the
impossibility of the Federal Government
restraining lepers without having a suit
able place in which to care for them
all pointed, he said, to the absolute ne
cessity of a National leprosarium
Dr. J. N. Hurley declared that in 1903
there were 60 registered lepers in Lou

that there were at least 350 lepers ln the
state..
Taking up tuberculosis, Dr. John P.
Foster declared it was a question for the
municipalities rather than the state. He
advocated education of the public with
regard to the milk supply.
Regarding the pollution of streams, the
committee appointed" to consider the sub
ject reported that as the Federal Govern
ment -had no control over the matter,
many of the most difficult problems might
be solved by agreements between the
states.

NEW YORK. June 4. In the arrest
of two men here last night, the Post
office Department thinks it has captured
the headquarters of the Mexican National
.Lottery and will be able to . effectually
stop an illegal business which has col
lected many thousands of dollars every
month from various sections of the West.
When Charles O. Backus was arrested
in his apartments, the officers found
many large packages of lottery tickets,
fully addressed and stamped, ready to
be mailed. One of these packages was
addressed to J. O. Sanger, 2552 Hickory
street, St. Louis.
From the addresses on the packages
the officers obtained the names of many
of the representatives of the lottery
throughout the country.
Chief Postoffice Inspector Meyer said
last night that the profits of the busi
ness had been enormous, and that in his

SAN FRANCISCO. June 4. Charles
O. Backus, one of the men arrested in
New Tork with lottery tickets ln his
possession, is believed to have been
one of the four men implicated or con
victed in connection with similar crimes
committed here about three years ago.
Harry N. Moffitt, ln charge of the
United State Secret Service Bureau ln
this city, stated today that the Mexican
National Lottery Company and another
organization, operated under the name
of the Panama Lottery Company, main
tained offices here for a considerable
period.
At that time simultaneous raids were
made by secret service men in a dozen
cities of the West and South, and scores
of lottery men were captured. Nearly
a dozen convictions were secured in
this city, and it is believed that several
of the men found guilty were residents
or traveling agents of the Mexican
concern.
The office here had been successively
occupied by men operating under dif
ferent firm names. Two men known as
the Morris Brothers, and another iden
tified ln the records as Abe Korskie,
were among those convicted.
