counsel for the Kiowa, Comanche and
| Apache Indians in the suit to enjoin the

| homa, today filed with the President a
| memorial, praying that he would exercise

| fuses an injunction the case will be car
| r1ed to the Supreme Court of the United
states on other questions, and if that court

Opposed to the Babcock Plan.

| chandise Of the port of New York, who is
| secretary of the American Protective Tariff
| League saw the President today. Speaking
| OF the threat of certain republicans to sup
port the Babcock movement to place trust
| made articles on the free list, Mr. Wake
| man says the league will make a strong
| fight against any emasculation of the pro-
| tective tariff system. I'VE do not propose -
| said he, ito allow the system to be used as
a stalking horse for the purpose of doing
| work which should be done by state legls-
| latures. These bodies have the power to
| deal with trusts doing business within the
| borders of their states. Let them apply the
| remedy"
