DIDN'T BEAT THE TARIFF.
Two Sugar Boats Lose Race for
1926 900.

Philadelphia, July 27.-The Huworth
and the Eatona, the two boats which
were hurrying for Philadelphia to es-
cape the extra sugar duties of the new
tariff, lost their race, and unless the
threatened protests of the brokers
prove of some avail, those who are in
terested in the cargo will be over $685.
600 poorer than they would have been
had the captains sworn to their mani
tests by O'Clock Saturday.
In response to the opportunities of
several importers and others, Collector
of the Port Read, after much teIe-
graphic conference with the customs
department, agreed, contrary to expec-
as usual until 4 o. m regardless of
the Saturday half holiday
The HuWOrth reached Delaware
Breakwater at 6 in the morning, and
four big tugs started quickly up the
river with her. BY 3 O'Clock p. m. the
HuwOrth was reported as within the
district, which begins at Marcus Hook
and an attempt was made to have the
customs officers accept money due un-
der the old tariff on the argument thai
such knowledge was sufficient grounds
for the action.
The money was refused however, the
officers not deeming even the boarding
officers certificate enough, and reason
ing that the captains manifest must
be sworn to before such moneys could
be legally received. The interested
brokers remained until the doors of the
custom house closed, and then walked
sadly away.

Orders His Striking Miners to be Fed
Until Trouble is Over

Spring Valley, Ill, July 27.-The min
ers in this district are all out and re-
main quite firm At Marquette, c. J.
Devlin has ordered his superintendent
to give out rations to the miners until
! the end of the strike. Devlin also says
that he is in sympathy with the min
erS and would be glad to see them win.
Paramount, w. Va, July PA meet
ing was announced last night at New
England, but none was held because
only % miners had gathered. The in
| junction issued by Special Judge Ma
son seems to have put an end to the
strike here.
With all the leaders at Wheeling the
men say there is nothing left for them
to do, but to go to work. Fully 100 men
took this step at MOnangha, which,
with so men imported from the Con-
nellsville region, makes $50 men at
work there.
The injunction issued has not as yet
been served, and the operators think
this step will be unnecessary. 1t is
said many miners want to go back to
work and that that step will be taken
tomorrow.
Wheeling, w. Va, July 27.-Though
the strike leaders gathering here for to-
days conference deny the reports that
the efforts for a general strike in the
Paramount region are a failure, the coal
coming to Wheeling from Paramount on
the B. & o. and sent west and to the
lakes by the three coal carrying roads
centering here, shows that the output
at Paramount is increasing. The ship
ments today have been larger than for
any day during the past week. Today
the B & o. sent about 100 cars west and
so or as cars were sent north on the two
other roads. So far there has been no
interference with the passage of the
coal trains in this district.
The indications are that tOday'S con-
ference of labor leaders, made up of the
executive officers of the various organi-
cations conferred under the American
Federation of Labor will be largely at
tended.
Among the arrivals are Eugene v.
Debs, head of the social democracy;
Vice President Rhea of the decorators
and painters; President MahOn of the
street car workers, and president Sam
uel GOmpers of the fedora ton, and Pres
ident Ratchford of the united mine
workers, the last two coming in on late
trains
President Sovereign of the K. of l..
will arrive from Washington today.
There is some difference of opinion as
to the result of the conference. Debs
and Mahon claim that the published re-
ports of the strike being failure at
{ Paramount are incorrect. Debs says he
is in possession of reliable advices to the
effect that the strikers have received
heavy accessionS. If the efforts of the
agitatOrs in West Virginia have been
really failure it is believed that the
railway conductors, f1remen and brake
men will be asked to refuse to handle
West Virginia coal. There is some talk
of a general sympathetic strike, but this
does not meet anything approaching ia
vor. A boycott of West Virginia coal
in the event of the miners of this state
declining to join the strike Will be dis
cuSSed a the conference.

Banks to Receive the Money.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury A. F. Vanderlip
is in town on matters connected with
the Union Pacific Railroad, his pur-
pose being to designate a number of
banks to act as repositories for the
Union Pacific money.
Mr.. Nanderlip visited United States

there was a conference at the Chase
National Bank between Mr.. Vanderlip,
President Cannon of the Chase National
Bank, Vice-President A. Il. Hepburn of
the National City and Treasurer Jor-
dan.

cused from stating what had trans
pired, but from another source it was
learned that the Government has de-
cided to designate about dozen finan-
cial institutions of this city to act as
repositories.
The conditions laid down by the
Treasury Department are said to be
entirely satisfactory to the banks con-
cerned.

COOLLY RECEIVED.
The City of Everett, Which Carried
Food to India Sufferers.

DULUTH (Minn.), Nov. 3.-Captaln
Alexander McDougall, General Man
ager of the American Steel Barge Com
pany, is in receipt of a letter from Cap
tain l.. Laverg. master of the whale
back steamer City of Everett, which
sailed last summer from San Francisco
for Calcutta with a cargo of food 1oi
the famine sufferers of India.
The letter is dated at Calcutta, Sep
tember 18th. In it Captain Lavers
charged that English officials at Cal
cutta received the famine supplies
without enthusiasm. The pilot came
aboard of the City of Eevrett when
she approached Calcutta, and told the
Captain that he would have done bet
ter to have brought a cargo Of rapid
firing guns with which to kill off the
native Indian population, instead OF
food.
Captain Laverg says that the City
of Everett was treated shamefully at
Calcutta by the Government, and that
that treatment seemed especially out OF
place, owing to the presence of the YES
sci as representing the. generosity and
humanity of the American people.
There was nothing on which claim for
dues could be exacted that was not en-
forced, and the officials finding, after
rsnsacking the papers of the ship, that
the officials at Singapore had exempted
the ship from some light dues, promptly
enforced them. The claim was made
that the Governor at Singapore had no
authority to exempt the ship from pay
ing any dues.
Before leaving Calcutta the English
officials even insisted on the payment
of dues for the ships stores

w. E. Duncan, Sr., Butte; George c..
Sargent, San Francisco; S. P. Lunt,

The sum of 100000 is now available
for building dams to prevent the de-

and it is to expedite this work that
the committee has been appointed.
When the proposed dams are con-
structed, it is expected that hydraulic
mining will again be resumed on a
large scale.
