WASHINGTON, Nov, 11. -That
the Democratic members of the
house on the ways and means com
mittee are favoring an increase in the
rate of duty and the Republican
members are opposing a protective
tariff on Baryte, an article listed in
schedule "A" of tariff was an un
usual situation today. The subject of
baryte had been discussed by sever
al speakers, when one of the speak
ers alluded to the deposits of metal
in North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia
and Tennesse. Representative Po-j
of North Carolina told the speaker
that if he could show that the mining
of baryte was made unprofitable be
cause of the prevailing tariff he could
depend on the support of the Demo
cratic members. On the other hand
the Republican members of the com
mittee apparently desired to bring
out the fact that no higher duty is
needed. Arguments today were in
the main technical and in favor of the
retention of ' the present rates of
duty'"'-:."-"". "V! -.' ; ; - -

Taft, Montana, Suffers Fire Loss ol
$100,000 in Which the Town is
Wiped Out One Life Lost sad
One Injured.
WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. ll.-The
death of James Banters, the serious
injury of Elsie Lreondeau and the
attempt to lynch a man thought to
be the incendiary by a crowd of in
furiated townspeople,' were the lead
ing features of a fire which early to
day destroyed the town of Taft,
Mont The loss is $100,000; insur
ance, ?oO,(XXJ, This is the second
time in three months, that the town
has been destroyed. The fire first
broke out about ten o'clock last
night in the Arcade theatre build
ing.. It was promptly extinguished
but broke out again in the same place
about 4 o'clock this morning with a
fury that defied the efforts of the fire
brigade. Soon the whole village waf
in flames. . As far as learned 15 build
ings, 12 of which were saloons, were
destroyed. The people of Taft .were
under the impression that a gambler
named Green had set the fires out of
spite at the owners . of the Arcade
theatre and demonstrations against
this man reached such proportions
that it is alleged that the authorities
were forced to remove him to Wal
lace to prevent a lynching. During
the fire Banters, porter of the Spo
kane hotel, was burned to death, and
the Lreondeau girl was seriously in
jured by "jumping from, the second
story window of the Arcade theatre.
Several other girls in this building
had narrow escapes.
With the avowed purpose of lynch
ing Green a crowd of citizens made a
demonstration on the jail here .to
night in which the alleged incendiary
was. 'confined,. Fearing that the build
ing would not withstand the attack,
Green was hastily' admitted to bail in
the", sum pf $1000,; .and- .upon : this
amount being furnished he was giv
en .an opportunity to secret himself,
presuniably'in the 'hills.
