Erie Pa Feb. U. -While the police
•and detectives were working desper-
ately to discover a clue to the iden-
tity °of the ghouls that robbed the
Scott mausoleum in the Erie Ceme-
tery, new mystery was thrown about
the case by a report that the body
taken was not that of Mrs. Anna K
McCollum, as at first reported, but •
that of the late Congressman Wm. L.
Scott.
The main hunt for the ghouls is
now being directed in Black Hand
channels as a result of a conference
between detectives and Charles H.
Strong, brother-in-law of the late Mr.
Scott. Men who attempted to black-
mail the Strong family two years'
ago by means of Black Hand letters
are now in the Washington peniten-
tiary, and it is believed that their
friends or companions may have been
responsible for the grave, robbery.
Mr. Scott, who was a wealthy rail-
road man, was a close personal friend
of the late Grover Cleveland, during
the latter's first term.

of four shot -firers had been removed
from the Cokedale Mine wrecked by
an explosion on Thursday night, five
more bodies had been discovered and
six were still unaccounted for last

intendent, in charge of the rescue
work, was overcome with gas and was
carried to the surface. He probably
will die.
Supt. Bailess declared yesterday he
believed the explosion was due to
the accidental discharge of blasting
powder. Little hope is entertained of
finding the remaining six men alive.
All the deed and missing are for-,
eigners.

ished by 'their ,friends. Youngs, it
will be remembered, was accused of
offering money to the late jailer,
Catheron, for his jobs
The arrests were startling in their
'Suddenness, although it was generally
believed that the fact that the com-
mission's finding was being withheld
until the Cabinet met portended some
drastic moVements by thie Attorney -
General's Department.
; It was believed that the keeping
•back of the report indicated the Gov-
ernmeriVs decision to make a sudden
tnove and land the men wanted before
they had a chance to get out, if theY
had any intention of doing so.
McCarty of Thamesford was not
taken before the magistrate, his bail
being arranged in the office of his so-
licitor, S. .%\7 T. McMullen. M. T.
Buchanan walked half a block behind
the chief from the car to the police
office, where bail was given for $2,500
cash and sureties of a like amount,
similar bail being demanded of
Youngs. There are several charges
against Buchanan, but these have not
been formally made out yet. The
men wanted have simedy been arrest-
ed on a general warrant of graft from

Hughes Replies to the Criticisms of
Ottawa Ministerial Association In
No Uncertain Terms -He Reiterates
His Charge Against Dr. Milne --
Another "Liar" Episode *In the
Commons.
Ottawa, Feb. 11. -The chief incident
of the Commons' sitting yesterday,
Was an attack by Col. Sant Hughes on
an Ottawa clergyman, Rev. J. W. H.
Milne, and the Ottawa Xinisterial'As-
sociation. A fortnight or so ago, Col.
Hughes, in the House, accused Rey,
Dr. Macdonald of The Globe ef being
in the pay of a peace society in Bos-
ton, whose propaganda was reciproc-
ity, and the colonel declared that Dr.
Macdonald had advocated that d0c4
trine for the association. Col. Hughes
objected to this as being inimical to
the best interests of Canada. Mr.
Milne was alleged to have preached
in his church, In Ottawa, a sermon
condemnatory of Col. Hughes, al.
though he did not mentiop him by
name. However, Col. Hughes stated
that many members of Mr, Milne's
congregation had assured him that the
sermon was directed against hien. Ac-
gordingly he retaliated.
He described Mr. Milne as a Liberal
party -heeler,. that after declaring in
1905 that the Ross Government of On.
nixie should be defeated, he appeared
on the Ross platform in Ottawa; that
just before the provincial elections he
invited Rev. Dr. Macdonald to preach
in his church, but the leading Mein-
bers of his congregation refused to
allow him to occupy the pulpit; that
Mr. Milne had supplied to the offi-
cials of the Liberal Association a list
of his angregation with their politi-
cal faith designated.
The Ministerial Association teak the
matter up and passed a resolution de-
claring that every statement made by
Col. Hughes was false, and expressed
implicit confidence in Mr. Milne.
This resolution was the tatese cif Col.
Hughes!' statement to the House yes-
terday. He re -affirmed all :he had
previously said, and offered toproduce
affidavits in support. of his charges
against Mr. • Milne. He demanded
tliat the Ministerial Association take
the matter up again, and in order
that there should be the fullest en-
quiry, he offered to sign the Hansard
report of his speech, so that theY could
proceed against him.
Towatds the end of his. speech,
whieli lasted for over an hour, Col,
Hughes made a sotriewbat general at-
tack on the clergy of various denomi-
nations, particularly the Roman
Catholic Church. He eaid ef course he
excepted the many noble men in all
branches' of the Christian Church.
This provoked a warm rejoinder
from the Conservative benches.
A. C. Macdonnel (South Toronto),
who said. he had no concern. with the
cominent that had been made upon
Mr. Milne's Conduct., but he could not*.
'sit and hear the 'attack upon clergy.
men generally. Col: Hughes had gone
out of his watt to do so, and his refer-
ences to Roman Cathplic clergymen:
Were unnecessary and gratuitous. He
could permit him to • state .without
challenge that humanity had been '
cursed by them, and he entirely dis-
associated himself from the remarks
madeby Col. Hughes.
DavidHenderson (Halton), Conser-
vative, concurred in. the sentiments'
expressed by Mr. Macdonnel, and de-
clared that he was not in sympathy
with discussions of this -kind in the
}louse of Commons.
On the Liberal side, Hon. Rodolphe
Lemieux and H, H. Miller -of South
Grey, also Spoke in condemnation of
the general attack on the elerge made
by ,Col. Hughes. Mr. Miller talked
sarcastically of Col. Hughes' work in
South Africa, to which the colonel
replied that it was the privilege of
every coward to sneer at every map
who went to South Africa. There the
'incident ended. .
Shortly before adjournment a con!
tretemps occurred between' J. W.
Maddin. (S. Cape Breton) and D. D.
MacKenzie N. Cape Breton.)
Mr. Meddle stated that Mr. Mac-
Kenzie had :been responsible for the
appointment of a large number of
fisheries officers ie his county, who
received pay for the supervision of
fisheries on streams that did not exist,
at least during a. part of the season,
Mr. McKenzie, replying, said that
the statement was false, and a, lie. .
In less time than it takes to relate
the' circumstance, the few members
in the House were roaring at the top
of their, voices. When the Deputy
Speaker called upon Mr. MacKenzie to •
retract, lte said that, he would not do
so were he outside that.,
House, Sub-
sequently the.Opposition members ex-
pressed their' disapproval of Mr. Mac-
Kenzie's- form of retrection, and vari-
ous points of order was raised and
debated with 'heat.
Finally Mr. MacKenzie satisfied the
House that he had withdrawn the re.
mark, and peace. was restered.

Have Come Too Late.
B:g Deputation Representing Estern
Canada Ask Premier For Fair
• Treatment In Tariff and Want a
Reconsideration of Clauses. Involv-
ing the Fruit Induattry - Laurier
Says West Remands Free Fruit.
• ..
Ottawa, Feb. 110 -Fully 1,500 fruit
and vegetable growers flooded the
House of Commons yesterday to pre-.
sent their memorial in opposition to
the proposed lowering of the tariff
barriers against American products.
They represented widely eeparated
parts of 'Ontario.
Although the largest contingent hail.
ed from the Niagara peninsula, there
were many representatives also from
Halton, Essex and the vicinity of To-
ronto: The Quebec farmers were also
represented.
The deputation was introduced by
W. 0, Seeley, M.P., and in addition
to the Premier and Hon. W. S. Field-
ing, Mr, Borden and Hon. G. E -Fos-
ter with many other members of Par-
liament were present.
The memorial was read by Mr.
Johnston, and after several "where-
as," it said:
"We would, therefore, most earnest-
ly and respectfully request that your
Government may, after due considera-
tion of the points we have ventured
to bring to your notice, and after full
enquiry into all the conditions. re-
consider the clauses referring to the
interchange of fresh fruits and vege-
tables, and that you may then be en-
abled to place our industry on a com-
mensurate footing with its great
portance te the deevlopment of this
country."
It seemed, said Mr. Johnston, that,
though the interests of the grain grow -
res had been looked after, those of the
fruit growers had somehow been
overlooked. The aggeement as it stood
would mean the ruin of this industry.
In his reply to the deputation, Sir
Wilfrid said it was impossible to frame
a tariff that would please everybody
in the country, The western provinces
demanded free fruit, and their demand
was a reasonable one. All elasses
and industries heel to be prepared to
make some sacrifices to the common
good. He was afraid the fruit grow-
ers had come too late to have any-
thing done.

PM^
Taft Says Republican Principles
Aro Not Upset.
A Reasoneble Measure of Exchange of
Natural Products Is For the Sta.
bility of the United States Declares
President, Defending His Treaty at
, Springfield, Ill, U. S. Will Con-
trol What Trade Better.
Springfield, Ill., Feb. 1. -President
Taft defended the proposed reciproc-
ity agreement with„Canada in ar ad-
dress before the Illinois Legislature
here Saturday as the "logical caliche -
Sloe of the protection plank in the
last Republican national platform.
He defined the protection theory as
one that should impose a tariff not
sacceeding the difference itt the cost
ef production in the United States and
abroad, and allowing a fair margin of
input for the home producer. He ar-
gued, therefore, that inasmuch as the
conditions of productioa from the
United States and Canada, "were sub-
stantially the Same, the widest lati-
tude was given Secretary Knox and
the commissioners who represented
the United States in offering to Can-
ada a reduction a duties on goads,
and products coining into this coun-
try from Canada, in consideration of
the establishment of the same duty,
or freedom from duty, on similar
goods going into Canada."
The President explained that it was
thought wiser on behalf of both Gov-
ernments not to make a formal treaty,
"but to make an agreement between
the executives by which each, exercis-
ing his constitutional power in his
Government, should submit the agree-
ment in -the form of a statute to be
enacted and to go into force. on con-
dition that a similar statute was pass-
ed by the Legislature of the other
country."
"It will give the United States
much greater control ef the wheat
market than it has ever had before.
It will enable its milling plants to
tura Canadian wheat into tlour and
send abroad the finished product, and
It will stimulate the sale of manu-
factures and other things that we have
have to sell to Canada."
•The President further asserted that
in removing the artificial barriers b
tween the northwestern part of the
United States and the Canadian
provinces, the agreement would result
in the bringing over of live cattle to
'feed . on the corn of the American
farmer. He added that the rapid in-
crease of population in the United
States required "a source of food. sup-
ply like Canada, •right at our doors:"
"We shall be blind indeed," said
the President, "if we reject this gold-
en opportunity to add to the strength
and virility of our countty by thus
increasing our selaeupporting capac.
tty."
' The President asserted that "ho step
'could be taken more in the iaterest of
• a reasonable policy cd protection than
the approval of the treaty" and that
insistence on too much protection.
would rouse an opposition in this
country "that will know • no modera-
He said that was his reason
also for favoring the creation of "an
expert tariff commission or board."
He suggested that the tariff board
alight re-examine and modify other•
schedules if neceSsary, "but that a.
reciprocity agreement with Canada is
net a, revision of the tariff, arid in
the nature of things cannot present
the balance and the adjustment of all
duties againat foreign oormtries which
a consideration of the tariff as a
whale would involve.".
"We . have taken up those things
that are involved in a Canadian reci-
procity treaty because opportunity of-
fered," declared President Taft, in
conclusion. "Now is the accented
•time. She is at the parting af the
ways. Shall she be an Isolated coun-
try, es Much eeparetted from ns as if
she were across the Ocean, or shall
her people and our people profit by
the proximity that our geography fur-
nishes and stimulate the trade across
the border that nothing but•a. useless,
illogicaland unnecessary tariff wall
creates?"
