Senator Hanna and the other stand patters" have been repeatedly told that they are taking a good many chances when they declare that no modification shall be made in the tariff. They have been warned that they do not gauge pub lis sentiment accurately. particularly in the Western States. for unless something is done to modify certain schedules of the tariff law and reduce duties upon ar ticles which no longer need the protec- ton they now receive the Democrats are very likely to secure control of the House of Representatives. The wisest leaders of that party are determined to force the tariff issue into the next Presidential campaign. That Is Mir. Germans plan. and ex-Senator Hill as well as the great Brahmin of the Democracy at Princeton agree with him. Mir. German is a mod crate professionalism is. he is opposed to free trade and believes in the protec- tion of American industries by a tariff which shall equaliZe the cost of produc- tion between the United States and com peting nations. At the same time he be- lieves that the present schedules are all together too high, and will advocate a general reduction so far as can be made without disturbing the business interests of the country. But it is scarcely worth while to discuss the subject There will

 William F. Curtiss Washington Special
 to Chicago Record Herald.
 Unless leading Republicans in this city were mininformed MT. Hanna did not have his own way with the platform of the Ohio convention. It was understood by his friends here that he would sound a keynote" and set the gait for other Republican conventions to be held here after. AS Is well known MT. Hanna is a stand batter" Hands off the tariff" is the motto he desires to have the Re publican Party adopt and Keep on let ting well enough alone" has been the text of his speeches and his private talks with politicians of his party. It was confidently expected therefore that the Ohio conven- ton would take positive grounds against any "monkeying with the tariff, as the Senator Is in the habit of expressing him self. Nevertheless and notwithstanding the platform as presented by Representa- tive Dick. MT. Hanna's next friend, and unaifously adopted by the convention de clares that changing conditions and the possible benefits of reciprocity may call for timely readjustment of schedules" although faith in the policy of protection is proclaimed.

ATTACK SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Property Owners Question validity of
Proceedings I'm Public Improve
ment Matters.

Suit has been started in the district court
by Linda w. Payne and others against the
city of Omaha to enjoin the collection of
special taxes levied for large number of
purposes on property in the southern part
of the city, including improvements made
by the park board, The petition alleges in
each instance that sufficient numbers of
signers had not been legally secured to pc
titions and that Irregularities exist in the
work of the Board of Equalization which
passed upon the special levies. The ordi
nances involved are those creating paving
districts 4S, 1O2, 22O and 20; improvement
districts 359, SIT, 526, $40 and 6O4; grading
districts 5S and los, and sewer districts 159
and 161. In addition TO these the same OBJ
jections are raised to the ordinances or
resolutions ordering the opening Of Twenty
ninth avenue through McCormick's addi-
tion. the opening of Twenty-seventh street
through tax lot 5, the opening of Wool
worth avenue from Twenty-second to Twen-
ty-third street and the opening Of the
Boulevard from Riverview park to Leaven-
worth street.

ASSAULT ON THE OVERALL
Purpose of Manufacturers OrganiEa-
tion Formed at Milwaukee
Last Saturday.

Deliberately and with disregard OF the
effect on the American workingman, for
whom 1t has been at once bulwark and a
closest friend, an assault is to be made
upon that historic institution, the American
overall. The plan is not to tear the gar
ment from its wearer altogether, but to
undermine 1t and so debase its grade that
1t will cease to be the protection it now is,
and become so nearly mere transparency
that regard for possible chance scrutiny by
polite society will force the wearer TO admit
the intrusion of a second garment between
1t and him.
Such is practically the confession OF w.
B. Rooney, buyer for NJ. E. Smith & Co. OF
Omaha, who attended in Milwaukee, Sat
urday, a meeting at which was organized
the Western Association of Manufacturers
and Jobbers of Mems Wear This organiza-
tion of imposing name proposes to secure,
If possible, agreement of all western
jobbers at Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas City
and points farther east that hereafter the
overall sold the trade at $3.50 per dozen
shall be of seven-ounce stuff instead of
nine-ounce, as now made. The promoters
of the plan aver that. made as they now
are, overalls are money-losers for all who
sell them, and decline to consider the hu-
name feature of the case
The dispatches concerning the meeting
were erroneous in ascribing to us any trust
motives" said Mr.. Rooney yesterday.
I'VE met merely to try to get together on
prices Of certain of our staples and pre-
vent a price cutting that has gone so far
that we are all losing money on the gar
ments. Even using the seven-ounce stuff
there will still be no profit in overalls.
How far we will get with our reforma-
tion is matter of doubt. Last February
invitations to a consultation were sent by
circular to ninety-five firms in this terri
tory and twenty-slx accepted the invitation.
But only fifteen were present at the meet
ing last Saturday. l was the only one from
Omaha and there were no representatives
from Kansas City or st. Joseph. Other
Omaha firms are willing to enter the agree
ment. but Of course we will take no ac-
tion unless those Of the two cities farther
south join"

HASCALLITES STILL PLOTTING
Trying to Devise n Way to Hold On by
Filing Impeachment Charges
Against MOOres.

Another council of war was held by the
defeated antl-machine leaders Saturday
within closed doors with a view to making
a last desperate effort towards the capture
Of the city hall and the municipal pie
counter. At this meeting, held in the New
York Life building. two plans are said to
have been discussed. One was to institute
proceedings against Mayor Moores on the
line of those taken by w. J. Broatch six
years ago when he sought to bar out
Moores on the ground of alleged ineligible
ity. The other was the more desperate
plan still to start Impeachment proceedings
against Mayor Moores and have him sus-
pended long enough to enable President
Karr of the council to sign his name as
acting mayor to the Thirteen ward divi-
sion ordinance and thus project four hold
over councilmen into the new city council,
have that body organized in the interest
of the corporations and at the same time
to block the confirmation of any appoint
ments Moores might make after the
prosecution is dropped or knocked out in
the courts.
Under a provision of the charter three
councilmen can file impeachment charges
against the mayor and ii is discretionary
with the court to suspend him pending
Hascall against Mayor George p. Bemis
ten years ago, but the court at that time
refused to suspend the mayor and Bemis
continued in office during the impeachment
trial, which ended in his acquttal. If this
latter plan of attack on Mayor Moores is
adopted 1t will, IT is said, probably be based
upon affldavits to be made by the negro
politician. Victor Walker. one Of the ardent
supporters of Mr. Benson I'm the last city
campaign, charging that Mayor Moores
took money to permit Walker or some
of his kind TO run disorderly houses in the
city, During the campaign Walker offered
| to make such affidavit, but the managers
of the Benson campaign would not permit
It, fearing that It would do more damage
at the breech than at the muzze.
From the actions OF interested partie,
yesterday II seemed that much of thu
plan depended upon first securing a vacat
ing of the restraining order issued by Judg,
Dickinson, holding up the redistrictinl
ordinance. The councilmen, through thei
attorneys. Breen and Ten Eyck. served
/ notice of a hearing TO have the order modi
fed Friday and again took II up yesterda,
morning. They were on hand, as wa
Frank Weaver. attorney for the complain
ants. but Judge Dickinson was holdinj
| court I'm Burt county and will not return
before Wednesday, the day upon which tn
| order was made returnable IN the first in
! stance. While they were waiting at tn
closed door John T. Gathers, who is en-
gineering the other scheme, came TO tn
court room to learn what was being don
and when he found that the Judge was ou
Of the city. and had made no arrangement
with other judges to take up any cases Of
| his docket, he expressed displeasure an
chagrin. Later there was another confer
ence between Mr.. Gathers and his asso
ciates in the New York Life building. bu
none of the parties TO the conference woul
make any statement at it's conclusion.

FRANCIS TO co TO CHICAGO
Report that General Passenger Agent of B.
& NJ. is to Be Promoted.
CHANGE is EXPECTED BY FIRST OF JULY
Railroad Men Believe Francis is to
Become the Head OF the Passen-
ger Department of the
Burlington System.

John Francis, general passenger agent for
the B. & M, is, according to reports that
come from ordinarily reliable railroad
sources to be made general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
system, with headquarters at Chicago. Mr..
Francis is in Denver and the matter is not
being discussed at the B. & NJ. headquar-
ters, but local railroad men outside of the
Burlington offices believe the report to be
true and look for the change to take effect
within very short time, possibly not later
than July l. Not only is this report ac-
credited in Omaha, but Chicago railroad
men also give credence to It. One Chicago
official who was in Omaha on business a
few days ago said:
Il cannot tell definitely, but all signs
point to Mr.. Francis as the general pas
senger agent Of the Burlington at Chicago
That is the general supposition in the off,
cial circles in Chicago"
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is
without general passenger agent at pres
ent. Since the acquisition of the road by
James j. Hill p S. Eustis formerly gem
eral passenger agent has been promoted to
the oftice of general traffic manager, while
Darius Miller, formerly second vice presi-
dent OF the Great Northern, was trans
ferred from st. Paul to Chicago and made
general traffic manager of all the Hill lines.
This vacated the general passenger agency.
In Line with Hin's Policy.
Since the abolition of the general adver.
using department of the B. & NJ. In Omaha
which, under Mr.. Francis, did a vast
amount of work for the Chicago and ST
Louis offices, railroad men have beer
anticipating some other more important
! changes. The rumor has been current fol
some time that Hillism would become Sc
dominant on the b. & NJ. as to have tn,
effect of doing away entirely with IN,
general passenger agency here and Great
ing a division passenger agency Instead
The report of Mr.. Francis transfer I,
Chicago tends TO confirm this rumor an,
bear out the theory that Hill proposes I,
operate his new lines, as far as possible
| from Chicago. The recent transfer from
| Lincoln to Chicago of a large force O
clerks is another evidence OF this polio,
which has so distinctly characterized al
OF MI Hills movements as TO have becom
known in railroad affairs as ''Hilism"
In connection with the report that Mr.
Francis is to leave Omaha for Chicago
comes another report that negotiations ar
now on foot for the sale Of his handsom
Omaha residence.
John Francis is one OF the best know,
and recognized as one of the abIest rail
road passenger men of the country. HI
! long service with the B. & NJ has brousb
him to the front as an alert, aggressiv
man and the remarkable strides whicl
have been made since his incumbency hav
given warrant for the high standard tina
mas been placed upon his work. The posi-
tion Tor which he is said to be slated is o
course in the nature Of a promotion.
