"Come forward," said the coroner,
and when the young man stood In front
Ilf his desk. Mr. Dooley announced

est sort of a bow and, handcuffed to a
deputy, .was led away to the Tombs.

Proctor Says House
Conferees Won’t
Compromise.
By Prlvste Leased Wire.
Washington, June 28.—An abeolute
deadlock on the meat Inspection
amendment to the agricultural appro
priation bill was reported by Senator
Proctor to the senate late yesterday,
after thre sessions of the conferees
had been held.
The Vermont eenator laid that the
house conferees had declined to con
sider any compromise op the subject of
the paytnent of the cost of Inspection
by the packers.
The senate conferees offered to com
promise, he said, upon a taf of flve<
cents a head on cattle and three cents
on hogs, sheep and goats, to be col
lected end converted Into the treasury
the same as any other revenue. Hi
read the compromise proposition, show'
Ing that the $8,000,000 appropriation
provided by the house would remain In
the hill and the cost of Inspection
would be paid therefrom. In reply to
a question from Senator Hale, he stated
that the tax would amount to about
one-half of the appropriation.
The third conference of the day had
been concluded a short time before
Senator Proctor made his statement. At
the conference he offered the compro
mise which was met by the house con
ferees with the argument that It would
be unconstitutional on the ground that
congrese has no authority to levy a
direct tax upon chattels.
In making his statement. Senator
Proctor said the conferees had agreed
on practically all Items, but that the
house .conferees hsd positively re
fused to consider any compromise. He
then related the particulars of the pro
vision regarding the coat of Inspection
and added that the houao conferee*
had absolutely declined to sign the
report unless the house provision
should be accepted letter for letter. He
said the effect of the position taken
by the house would be to causq_ .the
failure of tie legislation and th— Kin
eral arrest of business.

Harvle Jordan, In discussing the new

"The manufacture of paper from tho
fiber of th*’ cotton M.-ilk Is one of the
latent and niont Intereating Inventions
of the new century. For many years
expert Inventors have been busily en
gaged experimenting with the cotton >
stalk, and now It appears from recent J
development# that their labors and
expenditures of money are to be re
warded with "Ignal and striking suo-
Not only have these Investiga
tions passed the experimental stage,

How this new enterprise will effect

the United States, the value of the pro

In the first place, tho practical ef

alcohol from cotton-atnlk fiber will bo

South's cotton crop by about $100,000,- *

of the cotton crop and save about $$0,- j *

cheapen the price of paper, and by j
the elimination of the boll weevil pest
save about $76,000,000 yearly to the
cotton growers of the South About
$5 per cent of the fiber treated can
be made Into paper and about 9 per
cent Into alcohol.
The residue, after all by-producta
are extracted from the cotton-atalka,
becomes the best known quality of fer
tilizer. The use of the cotton-atalka
will save to the farmer the expense of
gathering and give him a profit for tha
bringing of them to the mill, and also
will absolutely eliminate the boll wee
