NO TARIFF REVISION.
Secretary Root Decides to Let Mat
ters Alone in Cuba.

Secretary Root has been making careful
enquiry into the matter of the cuban
tariff, and has practically reached the
conclusion that so long present condi-
lions continue no revision will be made
as was contemplated several months ago
The President at that time in response to
the requests made by Cuban merchants
appointed a board to consider the tarin
subject
General Wood instructed the board
that the new schedules should provide for
a revenue of SIS, 1900 annually and a
new schedule was prepared, which was
submitted to Colonel Bliss, Collector OF
Customs of Cuba, for a report as TO
whether 1t would yield a revenue of sl5.-
100000.
Colonel Bliss has so far made no report
upon this subject and probably Will not,
as IL is not the desire of the War Depart
mept officials to disturb the financial sit
uation by inaugurating a change at this
time.
The tariff now in effect is that promui-
gated by the President over year ago
and which it was thought would expire
the first of April last. At the time 1t was
promulgated it was announced that II
would not be altered for a year. About
the first of May, however, it was decided
to reduce the export duty on tobacco,
and, while it was thought that this re
duction would greatly reduce the reve-
nues of the island, such has not proved
TO be the case, and reports from Cuba
show that the island is getting along very
satisfactorily under the present tariff. SO
long as this condition continues no
change is likely to be made.

HEAVY ASSESSMENT ON DowIE.
The Prophet, With o. b. Barber, De.
fies the Chicago Board.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-John Alexander
Dowie. the modern prophet of Zion. and
o. b. Barber. President of the Diamond
Match Company, defied the authority of
the Board of Review today. The former
was arbitrarily assessed $4,000 on his
personal property, and Mr.. Barber will
be fortunate IL the reviewers do not place
like amount opposite his name on the
tax books.
Final decision was entered in the Dowie
case. Reviewer Upham made a recon-
mendation of $3.50. COO in the assessment of
the head of the match concern, reserving
the right to increase the amount to $780,
600 after further Investigation. Notice
had been served upon Dowie to appear
before the board in answer to complaint
and show cause why this assessment
should not be raised from $4,000. This
was the second notice sent to Dowie and
in each instance he ignored the review
ers. Today the board wasted no time
over his case. His name was called and
there being no answer, the complainant
NJ II. Ashton, was heard
According to the information left with
the reviewers the prophet on April l was
the owner of the Zion Land Investment
Association, Zion City Lumber Company.
Zion City Planning Mills, one printing and
publishing house, four newspapers. five
homes for those of his followers under
treatment, seven tabernacles, and. accord
ing to the best information, had upward
OF s50o.00o on deposit. most of which
money has since gone into the Waukegan
land deal.
The members of the board were inclined
TO make the assessment larger acting
upon their authority to fix an arbitrary
inquire against property owners who re-
respond bfif AT
sideration 1t was agreed to make the fig
ure $4,000. an amount upon which they
feel certain collection can be made in the
event of a contest
Mr.. Barber also had been summoned
before the board previously, and accord
Ing to the information obtainahle claim
ed residence in Ohio, and the reviewers
mad dropped his name from the rolls
Subsequently the reviewers were inform
ed that he does not pay taxes in Akron,
claiming residence in Chicago.
