GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
DISCUSS THE TARIFF
PROPOSED CHANGES WILL MAKE
SITUATION DIFFICULT.
United States a Good Market for Ger-
many, but America Can Easily
Dispose of Agricultural Prod-
ucts to Other Countries.
BERLIN, May 6.—An extraordinary
difficult eltuatlon for Germany has been
caused by the announcement of the In-
tention of the United States to terminate
the commercial agreement, according to
Tageblstt, which discussea the question
at length.
"Germany must again struggle for the
advantages secured In the provisional
agreement." says the Tageblatt. "The
new American tariff is In many points
explicitly directed against German Im-
ports, and as the concession which Ger-
many is able to offer so as to set aside
this protective tariff will probably be
Insufficient under the present agrarian
domination, trade and commerce must
for the moment pay the agrarian minor-
ity hill, although statistics prove that
the percentage of the agricultural popu-
lation Is continually diminishing. These
conditions, however, are becoming im-
possible of continuance. Enormous is-
sues are at stake. The United States is
one of Germany's best customers snd it
will be difficult to find other markets
for our Industrial exports now going into
that country. The United States, on the
other hand, can easily dispose elsewhere
of her agricultural products, the entry
of which we make difficult.
The Tagllsche Rundeschau says:
"Wa need not weep over tile termina-
tion of the agreement whereby we were
the givers and the United States the
takers. If we must reach a fresh under-
standing It Is to be hoped that we will
lay less stress than hitherto In demon-
strating our national unselfishness. The
State Is, and must naturally be, selfish."
The Vossische Zeitung says:
"The provisions of the Payne tariff bill
are In no way favorable to Germany,
even should the minimum duties be ac-
corded."

SALT RHEUT 4 YEARS
Began Like a Ringworm on Hand
— Washing Irritated It and It
Spread Over Arm and Face.
WHOLLY CURED BY CUTICURA
" A little over six years ago I had a
•ore come on my hand. A doctor told
me it was a ringworm. It kept on set-
ting worse so I went to another doctor.
Be called it salt rheum. I kept on tak-
ing his treatment for some time, hut
every washday my hand would break
out axid be worse. It continued to
spread till it got over my whole hand and
UP my arm, also on my face. I suffered
with the disease about four years when
a friend told me to try Cuticura. I cot
two cakes of Cuticura Soap, one box of
Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of
Cuticura Resolvent. When I had used

the least sign of it since. Mrs. Linda

BOYLE, KIDNAPER,
IN FEW MINUTES
Conclusive Chain of Evidence in
Wbiila Case Leaves No Doubt
as to His Quill.
WIFE, AS ACCOMPLICE, '
IS NOV BEING TRIED
MERCER. Pa , May 6.—James H. Boyle,
charged with kidnaping Willie Whltla,
was convicted today altei i (rial lusting
but a few hours. No defense was made
and the Jury was out but a few minutes.
Mrs. Bovle, indicted under the name of
Mary Doe, with half a dozen aliases,
was immediately plated on trial charged
with aiding and abetting the kidnaping.
Hardly had the Jury been sworn in when
the Jttorneys engaged in a legal argu-
ment regarding the admission of certain
testimony and the case was adjourn.\l
until tomorrow morning
The first witness called by the Slato
in Mrs. Boyle's case was Miss Ella Boyle,
a sister of James Boyle. Apparently,
from the line of questioning, the prose-
cution wanted to prove by her that the
kidnaping conspiracy wus formed while
Mr*. Boylo was visiting In Sharon with
her husband and that »he was Implicated
In It. It is surmised the object of this
Is to overcome her contention that she
could not have violated a law In this
State while she was living In Ohio
Mrs. Boyle took a prominent part in
the selection of her Jury todny. prompt-
ing her attorneys numbers of times and
Indicating a preference for young unmar-
ried Jurors
That boyle's trial came lo such an ab-
rupt ending immediately pfter the State
had rested was due to the fact that a
strong case had teen made against him.
From the night before the abduction
when he wi.s seen in Sharon, till the tim»
of his arrest in Cleveland, almost every
irovement he made was testified to by
one or more witnesses. A man who hired
him a norse an.i buegy; another who
raw Bcvle driving witn "Billy" In the
buggy; the barber who saw the two to-
gether, shaving Boyle's mustache off;
trafn and' electric railway conductors
who saw ths coupin on the way to Cleve-
land and IdentlflMl them In court, all
told stories which fitted In perfectly with
that of Willie Whltla and left no doubt
as to the part Boyle had taken In tho
rape A verdict was SCturned In a few
lrlntiies. The penalty Is from one year
tc a life sentence in the penitentiary.
Sentence has not yet been pronounce!.

ON TARIFF BILL
Iowa Senator Says Finance Cora«
mittee Is Not the Only Kepos*
ilory of Republican Faith.
FORTY-YEAR-OLD RATES
IN NEED OF REVISION
Thursday
Friday and
Saturday
WASHINGTON. May 6.—Commending
the cournft of his colleague, Mr. uolli-
ver, in his utt.n U* on the pernllng tariff
bill, Senator Cummins of Iowa today in
opening his speech on that measure,
turned to Mr. AlWtich and said the man
who challenged the Republicanism of
Senators because they seek to revise the
schedule* ot duly forty years old, was
taking a most remarkable course.
' Have we arrived at thai slauklsh Ntate
ot' public opinion, he asked, "in which
it becomes a question of political lealty
to Insist upon the correctness of eoned-
ules made forty ycurs u^o. when we con-
sider them in relation to conditions exist-
ing today?"
Mr. Lummins scouted lite idea that ad-
herence lo the wool achoduln was neces-
sary in or4ei to maintain the proieuive
principle. He said he had been one of
ill Republicans who iiud fought Tor a
revision of the tarilt.
"And 1 intend to doleud my faith," he
continued, "with all ihe vigor of which
1 am capable The Finance Committee,
composed of honorable, Intelligent,
bright -minded and expriienced men, le
still not the ark and lite • -nvenant of Re-
publican doctrine. It 1h not the only re-
pository ot Republican faith
"Not a single member oi that commit-
tee had been among the Republicans who
had demanded a revision ut tin* hitigley
bill. They did not believe revision was
necessary and It was no wonder they
should not now fetor changes in duties.
"Unlike tho chairman of tin* commit-
tee, " he uaid, "J was born a Republican.
I carim from a nice of abolitionists who
were Republicans, not because til an in-
dustrial, commercial or financial consid-
eration, but because they believed the Re-
publican party was more deeply devoted
to the cause of humanity."
Retort From Bevcridge.
Senator Reveridge Jo?ned Mr Cummins
in asking from the Committee on Kins nee
en explanation of the fact that the duty
on oilcloths had been doubled by making
it apply to narrow widths
Mr. flint of the committee replied that
the answer'would be marie in due time
and added that If members of the
Finance Committee "had the ability of
the Senator from Indiana they would Rive
the answer offhand."
"We must have a better answer than
that," retorted Mr. lieveridge. "There are
three members of the Finance Committee.
The Senator of Iowa wants to know wl.y
this rate was raised 100 per cent, and 1
think he has a r ight to know."
"I want to call the attention of the
Senator from Indiana to the fact that tho
duty on choloroform has been reduced 50
per cent." Interposed Senator Nelson,
amid general laughter.
"It is evident that that reduction has
bad no effect on the Senator from In-
diana," said Mr. Flint.
Mr. Srnoot explained that the oiloloth
duty had been put up to protect the
American manufacturers, but before Me
had commenced was interrupted by Mr
Cummins, who said he did not care to
give way for a speechi
Mr. Cummins stated he had had special
opportunities for understanding the af-
fairs of the American Wire and Steel
Company.
Mr Owen asked how he had acquired
such information
"I was attorney for the company," re-
plied Mr. Cummins.
Mr Scott inquired whether the attor-
ney had received his fee in money cr
steck.
Defends His Position.
"If I had lived In West Virginia," re-
sponded Mr. Cummins, "and had been
surrounded with the Influences prevalent
there I tear I would be asnamed to an-
swer, bint as 1 live in Iowa, where there
is an honest atmosphere, T can reply that
my pay was In cash and 1 had nothing
whatever to do with the capital stock
issued by that company."
Respem&ing to a <j'Jery by Mr. Depew
Mr. Cummins said that he had not ven-
tured to look forward "to that disastrous
?ay In which all the Industries of the
Jnlted States and of the world aro con-
centrated in a single hand or a single
board of directors. When tho day should
