GEN. sPAULDING's SUCCESSOR.
Tichenor May Be Chosen-Bynum's
Nomination Deemed Improbable.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE successor
OF General Spaulding has not been an
nounced, although there is ground for the
belief that a New York Republican of ex-
perence in the customs service will be
chosen. Mr.. A. E. Tichenor, formerly of
Indianapolis and son Of the late George c.
Tichenor, is believed to be the man now
most favoraby considered for the office.
General Spaulding's health has been failing
for a year or more, and he would have
been transferred to some other department
of the government entailing lighter duties
if a place suited to his tastes and qualifica-
tions had been available some months ago.
1t is stated that his work has been of
satisfactory nature, but in his i'll health it
is believed reforms could be instituted more
readily if a new man is placed at the head
of the customs division than ii would be
if he should continue to discharge the
duties indefinitely
1t is now considered improbable that Pres
ident Roosevelt will seriously consider the
application of William d. Bynum. which
was freely commented on recently The
fact that Mr.. Bynum was once nominated
for place and rejected by the Senate is
considered TO be a sufficient reason for
the Presidents refusal to nominate him
again.

G.. Fair. Teresa. who is now the wife
or Hermann Oelrichs is the eldest Ihen
came James, who died about ten years
ago Charles vas the third, and the
youngest was Virginia, who is now M
wife Of w. X. Vanderbilt. jr In the spring
OF 1894 Charles married Maude Nelson Inc
ceremony took place In Oakland ana IL
was almost a secret one. Charles Fair was
one Of the three heirs to an immense eS-
tate, estimated in value al between $Io,OVO,-
90 and S3O.OOO,Oc0. The other two are ms
own sisters.
When informed of the tragic end Of his
brother-in-law and his wife this after-
noon, Herman Oelrichs said: 1 am ter
rlDly shocked, but not surprised sald
only a rev days ago that II Charles per
sisted In carrying on his experiments along
tnls line the result would be fatal sooner
or later have warned him repeatedly
put he always laughed and said there was
no danger. In letter received last week
Mr: Fair said he intended sailing Tor tne
United states on the Zbtn or TINS mOtllh'
Mr.. Fair went 10 Europe TO see what i'm
provements had been made during the last
year or two in automobiles. He had pur-
chased a new one, he said, that could sus-
tain a speed of eghty-five miles an hour
for several hours. 1t was built along rad
ically new lines and would be one or the
first machines of its class TO be Imported
TO the United States.
Mr.. Fairs lawyer Mr.. Haggerty, says
/. the death Of Charles Fair Will not upset the
present arrangements for the management
or the Fair estate. The property is now
managed by Herman Oelrichs. Under THIS
arrangement Charles Fair decided certain
property 70 his sisters. There is now much
speculation as 10 what will become OF
Charles Fairs share. On this point Mr.
Haggerty says: Under the law of Cali
fornia, when a couple are victims Of
common calamity and both are between
sixteen and seventy years of age, and there
is no evidence as 10 which died first, the
man IL presumed to have lived the longer
In such case all the property would go to
Mr.. Fairs relatives, his sister. On the
other hand, If there is evidence TO show
that Mrs. Fair lived longer than Charles
Fair. her relatives in the East would in
herit the property involved"
Mr. Haggerty will not discuss the matter
Of the will. From other sources 1t is
learned that Charles Fair had a will, which
is now supposed to be locked up in his safe
here in San Francisco.
So little is known here of Mrs Fairs S
relatives that Mr.. Haggerty says he does
not know where her heirs reside. 1t is sup
posed however, that they live in New
Jersey.
Charles Fair was born in Virginia City,
New, on April Il, 1867, and was conse-
quently thirty-fve years of age. He was
greatly interested in photography and con-
structed one of the largest cameras ever
built in the United States.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

1.-THE Tariff in this country has be-
come partizan question. AS 4 matter
purely economic, it should be an admin
istrativc question as in England, and
the sooner it can he taken out Of parti-
zan politics. and made the sole duty Of a
permanent Tariff Commission, selected
from both political parties, and made up
of men practically familiar with the
workings of the schedules. the better for
all interests in this country. Cecil
Wing, August 10th, 1902.
In his speech at Logansport, Ind, on
Tuesday last, the President favored a
Tariff Commission to look after the
question of Tariff revision. He also
sounded the keynote of his attitude on
the Tariff question, by saying that
changes must be made to meet changed
conditions. Such changes need not be
sweeping. but where the industrial needs
shift as rapidly as they do here, where
the people in America, often live in one
year, what Europe does in ten, this Ma
ton needs the re-appication Of estab-
lished principles to changed conditions.

PORTENTOUS SIGNS.

far Western States, there are
Il unmistakable signs of an i'm
perative demand by the people
Of all political parties for Tariff revision,
and a reasonable adjustment of the
Dingley schedules.
This popular demand is based upon
the fact, that We have become a large
exporting nation of manufactured pro-
ducts, and that we can, without the aid
of excessive tariffs, successfully compete
with foreign manufacturers.
Excessive tariff rates, are therefore
superiluous and unnecessary, because
they simply enhance the profit of the
manufacturer, at the expense of the
American consumer.
But this sentiment in favor of tariff
revision is not limited to the Western
States.
1t is finding open and free expression
in the Eastern States, and in Massa-
chusetts even the cry for tariff reform
is being heard.
A noticeable advocate of it is Mr.
Eugene n. Foss, the Republican candid
ate from the Eleventh Massachusetts,
Congressional District. and brother of
Congressman Foss, of Chicago.
Mr. Foss in speech in Jamaica Plains
on the 18th instant, presented his plat
u-h; 81, ID
was greeted with fervor Of enthusiasm
rarely equaled in a Presidential cam
paign. Mr.. Foss's platform is brief
Tariff revision. That is all of it. He
said to his constituents:-"I want it dis
tinctly understood l am a Republican.
l have been one all my life" Then he
went on to say that for thirty years he
had been a manufacturer, that he has
been constantly employing hundreds OF
men and that he is now building works
in which he will employ 5000 more
This is what this loyal Republican said
in conclusion, his remarks eliciting the
most enthusiastic APPLAUSE
