Crusade for Their Benefit


Crusade for Their Benefit
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH,I
NEW YORK, March 22.-The court pro-
ceedings which Colonel A. 81. Rogers has
instituted against the authorities of the
Wards Island Insane Asylum, he de-
clares, are only the preliminary skir-
mishes of protracted campaign. He
has opened field headquarters opposite
the Court House, and with three or four ex-
lunatics as aids-de-camp, he has mapped
out lively programme. He has discov-
cred, he says, the best cure of insanity in
the world-a writ of habeas corpus-and
he proposes to provide it for the
benefit of scores of his former associates
among the inmates of the Wards Island
asylum. He was very busy to-day with his
assistants who were recently discharged
from the same institution, in drawing up
fresh applications for wrlts of habeas corpus
in favor of more sane men who are unlaw-
fully deprived OF their liberty.
He now had the names of 62 Wards
Island patients who he declares are sane.
Those include few who have been volun-
since the asylum authorities have re-
ceived notice of his intention to COM
pei their release. These are the men whom
Colonel Rogers said to-day he would have
produced in court this week Denomination
as to their sanity. Colonel Rogers says the
62 patients are inmates of but four of the 30
wards of the Institution, and he has no
doubt that among all the !, 700 inmates of
the asylum there are at least 400 sane men
or men whose delusions are slight and per.
fectly harmless

Objections of Canned Goods Manufacturers
to nm Increased Duty on Tin Plate
The Pertinent Question Of
CougressmRn DiurIey

Objections of Canned Goods Manufacturers
to nm Increased Duty on Tin Plate
The Pertinent Question of
Congressman DingIey.
WASHINGTON, March pa. K. Shriver,
j. N. Nunsen and +. T. Smith, of the Bal
timore Canned Goods Exchange; T. L. Bunt-
ing, of the New York Canned Goods Asso-
citation, and S. G. Curtice, of Rochester,
made argument before the Ways and Means
Committee to-day in opposition to the propo-
sition contained IN the tariff bill to increase
by tEree-fourths of cent pound the duty
on tin plate. They contended that one-half
Of the price they received for their goods
was made up of the cost of the can, and the
present tax amounted to a tax of ten per
cent upon the tomatoes and corn packed.
The Gamers of this country consumed about
S12, 100000 worth of tin plate per annum,
and the tax upon it was paid almost entirely
by the poor people.
Mr.. Dingley wanted to know if the same
thing was not true of the tax imposed upon
imported canned goods, to which the pack
ers replied that they would be perfectly
willing to have the duty removed on canned
goods if they were given free tin.
Mr.. Bayne said that in the course of a
year and half the mills of this country
would be producing all the tin plate needed
for domestic consumption, and at price
that would compare favorably with the
present price paid for imported tin plate.
Thirty thousand men would also be given
employment and the country would save
the O,000,000 now sent away to pay for
English tin. This statement was received
with incredulity by the packers, who said,
however, that if they could be assured that
this result would follow they would have
nothing more to say.
