Y. -Donald Ros coe, 10 years old, ami Hubert Moore, nine year* old, both of Buffalo, went to their deaths in a imall boat late Sunday afternoon in the Whirlpool Rapids while hundreds of men watched helplessly from the shore. The Imys were playing in a flat-bottomed scow half a mile above the rapids, when the ro|*o holding the boat broke and they were carried out into the stream and went down the river.

Senate Committee Would Give Pres ident Discretionary Power«. Washington, D. C.—An amendment to the Underwood tariff bill adopted by the majority member* of the senate finance committee would give the President of the United State* author ity to suspend certain rates in the proposed law and to proclaim special rates against nations which discrim inate against products of the United States. The amendment is appended to the clause giving the President authority to negotiate reciprocity agreement* with other nations and in some re spects resembles the maximum and minimum clause of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law eliminated in the bouse bill. In substance the amendment would provide that when any nation discrim inates against the products of the United States or imposes restrictions on United States exports or, in the opinion of the President, does not re ciprocate in trade relations, the Pres ident by proclamation may suspend certain rate* and put in effect other rates. Only specified articles, it is under stood, are to be included under the terms of this amendment, and the rates are specified also. Among the articles included in the list on which the President might suspend rates are fish, wheat, wheat-flour, coffee, tea, earthenware, wines and malt liquors, silk dress goods, gloves, jewelry, sugars and molasses. The duties pre scribed vary as to different articles. COAST WHEAT EXPORTS GAIN Increase Over Corresponding Per iod La*t Year About Million. Washington, D.

Puget Sound during the last eleven months exported 5,387,735 bushels of wheat valued at $5,534,581, an in crease from 3,380,157 bushels valued at $2,730,143 for the same months last year.

Attorney General Admit« Tempting Lloyd-George and Take« All Blame—Truce Reached. London—For the first time in many yean British cabinet members were compelled to defend their personal honesty before parliament. The at torney general. Sir Rufus Isaacs, and the chancellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd George, excused their dealing in American Marconi shares on the floor of the bouse, and the final scene in the Marconi affair, which their political enemies had attempted to magnify into a scandal rivalling the Panama debacle, was tense and dramatic. The two ministers admitted that they had acted thoughtlessly and mis takenly, though without dishonest in tentions, «nd regretted their failure to divulge all the fact* when they had made their denial* to the bouse last October of buying English Marconi ■hares. Having finished their defense, in deference to the tradition that the house should be left to discuss their conduct without the embarrassment of their presence, they walked from the chamber together. A great cheer from their partisans followed them. The resolution introduced by George Cave, Unionist, in behalf of the oppo sition, which brought about the de bate, went no further than to express the regrets of the house at the trans actions of the ministers and the lack of frankness displayed towards the bouse. By expressing their regret, thereby agreeing with the resolution, the two ministers spiked the guns of their bit terest opponents, who regarded the case as an opportunity to make polit ical capital. This comparatively tame ending to a fierce controversy was apparently the result of a truce between the party leaders to protect the good name of the parliament. The Liberals were threatening, if attacked unreasonably, to resurrect all the buried shortcom ings of the Conservative ministers from almost forgotten graves. WILSON CALLS AT CAPITOL Crowd Cheers as in Campaign Days When Presjdent Waves Hat. meet Make Heavy Timber Sale*. Tacoma, Wash.—The annual ing of officers and stockholders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber company was held in this city Friday. The feature of the session waa the general man agers’s report of operations for the last year. The transactions in timber lands have been unusually heavy, said Manager Long, exceeding the sales of any year in the history of the com pany. The timber sold amounted to close to 750,000,000 feet, distributed between 40 and 50 mills. This, he said, is more timber than the govern ment records shew was sold from the United States forest reserves in Wash ington, Oregon and California in the corresponding time. These sales, he said, refute the imputation that the Weyerhaeuser Timber company is busy tying up all the standing timber in the country. Washington, D. C.—President Wil son made another trip to the capitol Thursday and this time did not get away as inconspicuously as on prev ious occasion*. A large crowd had gathered to hear a band concert on the east front of the capitol and when the President arrived there were cheer* and applause, reminiscent of campaign days. The President rose in his au tomobile and waved his hat to the crowd. The President had on his list 20 sen ators, Republicans as well as Demo crats, and saw them all within an hour. He consulted them about ap pointments of all kinds in their home states. It had been thought that he would take advantage of his opportun ity to sound his callers on their atti tude toward currency legislation. Socialists Fi”ed $500. General Strike I* Called.
