Bandit, Jikiri, Had Sworn to
Kill IOO Men.
Manila, July 19. When Jikiri, the
Moro bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pa-
tian, on Jolo island, July 5, began his
career as an outlaw, he swore he would
kill 100 men before he died.
The record o f the murders he com
mitted is not complete, but it is stated
in a dispatch received today from Zam
boanga that the bandit probably made
good his oath, as the partial record at
hand shows he took the lives of nearly
a hundred persons.
From the latest reports o f the fight,
all but one of the several women in the
cave where the outlaws made their last
stand were wives of Jikiri.
But one of the women escaped. She
was the w ife of one of the Jikiri fol
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Baer, of the
Sixth cavalry, is agreed by all who saw

Senate and House Will Each Hold
Out for Lumber Rate.
Washington, July lti. The make up
of the committee on conference that is
now handling the tariff bill, endeavor
ing to compromise the differences be
tween the house and senate bills, is not
such as to inspire confidence in the
hearts of those senators anu represent
atives who favor the senate duty on
rough lumber, $1.50 per 1,000 feet. It
may be that that rate will be re
tained, but there is only one Republi
can on the conference committee who
is directly interested in the lumber
schedule, and that man is handicapped
because he is a big lumberman.
O f the senate conferees, not one has
any direct interest in the tariff on lum
ber. Aldrich, Rhode Island; Rurrows,
Michigan;
Penrose,
Pennsylvania;
Hale, Maine, and Cullom, Illinois, rep
resent states that care far more about
cheep lumber than they do about high
protection for the American lumber
man. A few years ago Rurrows might
have been somewhat concerned, but
now his interest is secondary. On the
house side, Payne, New York; Dalzell,
Pennsylvania; McCall, Massachusetts;
Boutell, Illinois; Caiderhead, Kansas,
and Fordney, Michigan, are the confer
ees, and Fordney is the only enthusias
tic advocate of a high tariff on lumber,
fur he owns fabulous quantities of
timber land and operates a numb -r of
lumber mills.
It will be the contention of the
house members that the duty on rough
lumber must be reduced $1, the rate
fixed by the house in the Payne bill.
They will insist that the house will not
stand for $1,60, and will point to the
fact that it was only by a narrow mar
gin that the house rejected a free lum
ber amendment.
