A WARRANT FOR GROCER.
DeIudcd Investors Call the Law

Constable Dolton is this morning looking
for him with warrant. in which he IS
charged with en1i)ezzlIng ST 900.
The supine Officers of the law had Ia ken
no steps to arrest the aged offender who
is charged with having made away with
$50 600 of the funds Of the two concerns.
But yesterday Charles A. Ehret, one
OF the deluded investors, appeared before
Justice or the Peace Sloan and swore
to the warrant, which was drawn by
Lawyer John a, Baces. Later in the day
another warrant, alse charging the en,.
bezziement OF 81 900. was sworn out.
Many other warrants Will follow.
On each of these Grocer, if convicted.
may be fined $500 and imprisoned for
three years. II all the complaints are
pressed, he may have to spend the rest Of
his Ifa in jail.
Ehret, who is now old and feeble, had
paid $3,084 into the loan association, and
should have cleared off the mortgage of

to be paid, and he viii probably lose his

The discovery of how he was swindled
reused his family TO great anger, and his
daughter. Lizzie, went to Treasurer Crozer's $
office with the intention OF shooting him.
Another person, Joseph Gary, who has
lost the entire earnings of years, also
threatened to kill Grocer on sight.
The apathy Of the Trenton officials
toward the officers OF the ass ociations
is explained by the latter. The directors
and auditors Of the two concerns admit
having paid no attention to the business
and they, too, are likely to be called on
to answer.
Among them, besides John Matheson,
auditor, are Directors John n. Lindsay,

Hoar, Bacon ami Caffery Air Their
Views as to Lumber and
Hides.
Caffery Accused Of Being a Pro-
tectionist For Sugar
Only.
Duty of a Cent a Pound on Hides
No Protection, Says Mr..
HOar.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Quite lively
turn was given the senate tariff debate
by Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,. Mr..
Bacon Of Georgia had spoken in favor OF
a duty on lumber as according to the
Democratic tenets and Mr.. Caffery
of Louisiana had opposed it as un-Dem-
ocratic. Mr.. Hoar thereupon referred
to the peculiarities of the way some
Democrats acted OH the tariff. Mr..
Caffery's idea of tariff, he said, was
"sugar, sugar, and nothing else" He
for protective duty on sugar when the
Wilson bill was being considered that
when the vote was taken he first cast
his vote against the bill as a protest and
before the completion of the call changed
to yes.
Mr.. Hoar said Mr.. Bacon wanted pro-
lection and revenue to go hand i'll hand
when it came to the duty on lumber. If
the Democratic side could make tariff
bill it would be found that everything
in their own states would be protected.
Mr.. Bacon asked Mr.. Hoar what he
would do about a duty OH hides. Mr..
Hoar said he would support a tariff bill
if it contained a duty on hides which
his colleagues thought proper. He said
he thought duty of cent pound on
hides was not protection, and from that
point Of view was folly. Mr.. Stewart
| insisted that while there was duty Oh
the products of leather there should be
protection on hides for the benefit OF
| the farmers, who We're subject to com
petition from South America.
Mr.. Catfery defended his vote on the
Wilson bill, saying it was protest
against the action of his own side il
changing the time when the bounty
should be repealed. He said while ht
might have deceived himself on the
tariff, he did not like Mr.. Hoar deceive
others. Mr.. Hoar confessed that duty
ON hides was absurd, but only because
it was not protection enough to do any
good.
Mr.. Allen Dem, Neb.) said Mr.
Hoar's statement that the proposed duty
on hides was only cent was not cor
rect. He then continued to debate on
| the lumber schedule.
