CHILDREN BITTEN
The following dispatch was sent

Greenville Saturday: j"
Three 'chHdren are dead as the re- ^
suit of a simple request of their ,
mother to throw a hen off its nest, E*
two dying from the effects of rattlesnake
bites and the other being neg- ^
lected long enough by the mother to 1
fall into a tub of water and drown. afi
The. three children died the same day ^
and were hurled In the same grave. ^
Only the father and mother of the
Hfamlfcr wirrtte. w
? Mrs. George Adams, the mother,
was in the yard doing some washing 1
whan a hen, sitting on a nearby nest ^
squawked. Mrs. Adams told the eld- ,
est of the three children, aB of whom
0 were-playing in the yard, to throw
0 the hen off its nest. The oldest boy Pi
1 aged eight, thrust his hand into the 1J
nest without looking. He drew it
oat quickly, declaring that the hen
" had pecked him.
^ant oldest boy. making fna
0 of his brother for hie timidity, ran
his band Into the aest. He screamed
almost Immediately, saying that n5
the $ten' bit him also. m
Thf mother, alarmed, rushed to to
Cthe nest and saw the seake coined ai
inside. Frantically she tried to do
something to aid the two bars, whose
hands were already swatting from
? the hlte. " The baby, one year old,
t was unnoticed In the excitement and V*

Special to the Daily News.
Washington, D. C., June 3.?This
the amount that the protected inlustries
wring from the American
>eoplo over and above a fair profit j
>n money actually invested, accord-j
ng to an estimate made by the Unit-1
td States Senator Gilbert M. Hitch ock,
of Nebraska. And Senator
iltchcock has never been charged
vlth making wild statements imposible
of substantiation.
"I believe it is within reason to
lay," said Senator Hitchcock, at the
inclusion of a speech he made on
he subject, "that a careful examinalon
of the profits from all clHsseK of
irivileged wealth in the United
ttates would reveal that the protectid
industries of this country exact
rom the people, over and above a
air profit, approximately a thousand
alllions of dollars a year. The fact
hat these industries have a monopoy.
granted them through our laws,
nables them to do this."
Senator Hltachcock's speech fairly
iristled with figures, taken from the
aost reliable and authentic sources. '
o hack each of his detailed state- 1
aents.
The steel trust alone gets $300.- 1
100,000 annually in excess of a fair
irofit. This monoply does an annual
lusineas of three thousand million
lollars and it is admitted that with>ut

nost simultaneous with the charges

to 6uban waters to help quell

This tainted food was detected. I
not by the regular meat inspectors. (
but by special inspectors assigned by
the navy department to test that j
particular consignment of meat. The1
naval inspectors described this meat
as "filthy and diseased."
Solicitor George P. McCabe, the
Wilson underling who drove Dr.
Wiley out of the government service
grew very indignant over the Nelson
charge. He called Mr. Nelson a
"liar," and bystanders had to use {
force to restrain him from jumping j

that he wonld not resign, has done
Ifcla country a real service, and If
he clings to tha: intention until the

Every man. woman and child of the
ninety two millions (ti this country.
then, pays an annual tribute of $3.50
to the steel trust, over and above JB
what they would have to pay if
there were no tariff on steel.
What 1b the effect of this extortion?
One effect has been to create
a horde of mushroom millionaires.
Another effect has been a gradual
centralization of the wealth of the
nation in the hands of a few. with a
corresponding Intensity In the struggle
for existence among the masses.
Still another ecect is seen In the con- ^
stantly increasing number of strikers
Within the last 25 years there have ."^1
been 36.756 strikers in this country
moet of them for higher wages.
These strikes have Involved a total of
6.000.000 workers, who. with their
wives and children were driven to
suffering and desperation.
While the steel trust of this country
enjoys a complete monoply due
to the tariff, it tincrs time to compete
with other nations for steel trade.
Last year the steel makers of this
country sold $230,000,000 worth of 1
Bteel abroad, which proves conclusively
that the tariff on steel is not
needed, and that it is simply an artfflclal
barrier put up to enable the
trusts to gouge profits out of the
American consumer. ' ^
And' in the meantime, the Democratic
bill to lower the steel tariff,
havinc nas^ed tl?o Un?? *u

"I happen to be one Senator who.
during a very Important time of my
life, w&s able to work 16 hours a

should have stepped in and
said that 1 should be allowed to

have considered that man or thai

might just as well legislate that n

How such speeches must please
