ALLEN MAY he WESLEY.
wssiey's Defrauding scheme worked
I'm Other Town.
from SATURDAYS Daiiy.1

ltTOm saturdays DAILY.
A general statewide warning against
the wiles of rascal who has been
working Grand Army posts, Women's
Relief Corps and the merchants in the
towns in which they are located is due.
The latest report of his operations is
from Council Bluffs, where he operated
under the name of Charles Allen, and
III is said feeced the people there out
of several hundred dollars. It is be-
lieyed the same man operated here UNI
der the name OF Charles Wesley; at
any rate the plans of operation are al
most identical, with the exception that
the haul which he made in this city
was not nearly as large as that made
at Council Bluffs. He was engaged here
by the local w. r. c., to get up an
entertainment for the benefit of that
society. He solicited the advertising
for his program, collecting in advance,
and from a local jeweler secured two
gold watches, which he wished to ex-
hibit as his premiums in contest
tertainment. The next act was when
Wesley suddenly left town, deserving
his wife, of few days, leaving. her
penniless at the hotel where they had
been stopping. He told her he was
going to Des Moines. He never came
gack, and whether his wife followed
him is not known, but it was not gen.
orally believed that the woman was in
amy way implicated or acquainted with
Wesley's schemes.
Now comes identically the same re-
port from Council Bluffs, only the name
OF the operator is Charles Allen. The
account of the affair SAYS that Allen
abandoned wife who was bride OF a
week, a pretty Nebraska girl. who had
been fascinated by the fellow in the
vicinity of Lincoln. They went to
Council Bluffs, where extensive ar
arrangements are being made for the re.
ception of the Fifty-first Iowa regi-
regiment volunteer infantry. Allen set
about the publication of a souvenir.
in connection with the home coming of
the soldiers, and proposed prize fot-
ling contest in connection with THAT re-
turn, Offering three gold watches as the
prizes.
lie got the watches OF local ieweler
and exposed them for show in a proni-
uent window. He gave his check to Sc
The jeweler found that he had a de-
post larger than the check in the bank
and let him have the watches. After
this the fellow gotta lot OF advertising
in his souvenir, and collected for it in
advance. Then he pulled his deposit,
took the three watches, abandoned the
pretty girl wife, and jumped the town.
The cleanup amounted to several hun
dred dollars enough to take him far
away into safety. There is a large hue
and cry after Allen and small indication
that he will be caught, but it is being
learned that he worked this racket in a
number of places. 1t is good one and
a smooth one.

CUSTOMS DUTIES
Novel View Presented by
a Correspondent.
Has Congress Consented to the
Hawaiian Government.

\ novel view of the right in Con-
gress TO permit Hawaii to establish
|customs duties which differ from
those of the United States. is here pre-
|sented by a correspondent:
Section TO- Article l of the Constitu-
ton of the United States is as follows:
No State shall without the consent
of the Congress, lay any impOsts or
duties on imports or exports. except
what may be absolutely necessary for
Executing its inspection laws. = = ~
Has not Congress, by the terms of
the Joint Resolution, which provides:
Until legislation shall be enacted ex-
tending the United States customs laws
and regulations TO the Hawaiian
Islands the existing customs relations
of the Hawaiian Islands with the
United States and other countries shall
remain unchanged given its consent
to the collection of duties on imports
and exports by the Hawaiian Govern
ment?
This provision of Section 10 of Ar
ticle | apparently conflicts with Sec
ton of the same article, which is
as follows:
The Congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes, duties, impOStS
land excuses, TO pay the debts and pro-
vide for the common defence and gen.
eral welfare of the United States; but
all duties, imposts and excuses shall
be uniform throughout the United
States
| maintain that it does not. If there
are any conflicting provisions of the
Constitution of the United States they
have yet to be pointed out. 1t is to
be understood that / am advancing the
proposition merely that Congress had
power, under Section 10 of Article l,
to grant authority to the Hawaiian
Government to collect duties on i'm
ports and exports during this inter-
regnum. 1t may be argued in sup
port of my contention that Section s
of Article | refers only to Federal
taxes and duties levied by Congress;
and merely prohibits Congress from
discriminating against any particular
section of the country. 1t would not
prevent Congress, if it chose to do so,
| from giving it's consent to the laying
| of imposts or duties on imports or
| exports by State. By the terms OF
| the Joint Resolution, Congress has
| clearly given it's consent to the levy
ling of customs duties by the Hawaiian
Government until legislation shall be
enacted extending the United States
customs laws and regulations to the
| Hawaiian Islands. b. l.. NJ.

TRUSTS.

The theory that trusts are essentially
the product of protective tariff has been
q favorite one in Democratic arguments
on the subject The fallaey Of this
claim is shown by an article from the pen
of II. w. Macrosty. an English economist,
in the March Contemporary Review.
1t shows that the trust principle is already
established and gaining ground in free
trade England as well as the United
States.
The writer quotes, for example, few
English trusts controlling such interests as
steel aud iron nails, petroleum, war-ship
building, lead pipe, fish supply, metal u
tensils, antimony, nickel, mercury, thread,
salt, alkali and rubber tires. One engi-
neering combine is mentioned as having a
capital of $50 900, 900.
This good sized bunch of centralized
industries managed to get together under
the English free trade system and is said
by this writer to be only a portion of "a
steady movement toward combination and
monopoly" With the trust system
flonfishing so briskly under absolute free
trade, it will readily be seen that the sug
gested removal Of the tariff from all arti-
cles handled by trusts would be an inetii-
cient method of suppressing their growth.
AS a matter Of fact, it is unnecessary to
look outside of the trust itself for a reason
for its existence. The increased economy
of production and decreased expense of
distribution possible under a combination
of small industries into ono large one is
ample explanation of the growth of the
trust system of doing business. The
trust problem stands by itself and will
have to be dealt with by itself,
