London, Oct. 10.—The English
papers have been filled with edi
torials commending .the work of
President Wilson, who is given
credit for the1 passage of the
Wilson-Underwood tariff law, by
which the rates on exports from
this and other countries are ma
terially lowered.
Most of the papers assert that
the bill was only passed through
the individual efforts of the presi
dent, who showed remarkable
ability a,s a politician and held
the Democrats together in spite
of the many different views held
by the party regarding’the rates
which should he imposed.
English merchants are prepar
ing to open branch houses in the
United States and hope to build
up a large business in the slates.

Sixteen-year-old Maiden Burns
Herself to Death (Because
Love is Unrecognized.
Hay, Ariz., Oct. 10. — Because of
unrecognized love Marie Bastuez,
a pretty sixteen-year-old girl of
this town, today burned herself
to death after sending a letter to
the young man upon whom she
had wasted her •affections, but
who was unaware of her adora
tion and was paying attention to
another, maiden of the city.
The girl locked herself in her
room, threw the key out Qf the
;window, closed it and set fire to
the bedding after first having
■covered it with oil. Her end came
ibefore the people who noticed the
firei-an smoke could effect an en
trance in their efforts to save
the young woman. Her body was
severely hunted, although the lire
was. routined to the room in
which il was started.
