TARIFF WARS.



Hostilities.
London, April 22.-British commercial
men believe the nations are on the
verge OF a titanic battle OF tariffs. They
say that the spirit OF economic warfare
most recently illustrated in the case OF
Canada and Germany is spreading. and
that all conditions exist for its indefinite
extension. The tarift as q weapon OF in
ternational rivalry, they assert, has
never been fully tested. end commercial
peace Is certain to rest on an Insecure
foundation until that test has been
made and the great trading countries
accept the results.
Henrick Murray, secretary of the
London chamber OF commerce. said:
Like Great Britain, Germany must
Import a large percentage of Its food
stuffs. The higher it raises its tariff
the worse for the German consumer
The moment new duties become effect
I've they will shut out French wines
and silks. and bitter fght will ensue
IN that quarter. Russia also is prepar-
sinE to retaliate, and how many other
complications will spring from the
agrarian tariff time alone can reveal"
1t is expected that the anticipated
tariff war will result in general read
sjustment OF international trade rela-
lions and rnomentous shifting of mar
kets. It Is thought, however, that when
this commercial war has been found In
supportable on account Of it's expense
commercial reason will reassert itself
and trade will speedily return to Its old
natural channels.

npEvILsv ON THE WIRE.
A Church Telephone With 200 Invalid
listeners Shocked.

Iockport, N. Y, April 22.--One week
ago Sunday Rev. Benjamin NJ. Nice.
pastor Of the First Presbyterian church,
la Princeton graduate and successor to
Rev. Anthony III. Evans OF New York,
Installed a system OF transmitting the
service by telephone to persons kept at
home by illness or otherwise. The idea
proved exceedingly popular Yesterday
the Home telephone exchange connect :
ed nearly 200 persons with the pulpit
by wire. Mr.. Nice was in the midst
OF an eloquent flight, when there was
Ia flash on the phone near him. The
fuse had burned out and the entire
circuit Of listeners thruout the town
heard sharp click. The telephone
company claim that malicious persons
taSnpered with the electric circuit.
Moreover. the stay-at-home wor-
shippers charged that they heard very
impious remarks over the telephone.
They heard such things as: Have a
drink" Get glory by WIRE" and even
profanity. 1t was learned that many
persons in saloons and other resorts
asked to be connected with the church
and talked into the transmitter to
shock the devout people on the circuit
Hereafter the telephone company will
connect only accredited subscribers
with the pulpit.

STUFFED THE PAY ROLLS.
Gigantic Fraud Uncovered by alleged
Bogus Pay Checks on Illinois Central.


Chicago, April 90 Charged with
stuffing the oonlpany's pay rolls by
means of bogus checks, three men hold
ing responsible positions with the Illi-
nois Central railroad. have been arrest
ed and held to the grand jury. The to-
tai peculations, 1t is thought will
amount to many thousand dollars.
Had not an Italian who rendered a
check to Treasurer Titus Of the COM
pany become frightened and run out Of
the Office the stuffing of the rolls,
1T is said, might have gone
on for long time undiscovered. The
employees under arrest are: Road Sup
erintendents H. j. O'Hern, Charles o.
Hern. and Section Foreman Mark
Walsh.
Three months ago an italian called
at the treasurer's office and presented
time slip for his check. He was
asked his name, and unable. 1t is said.
to think of the name he had been told
to give became confused and fed from
the place. An investigation followed.
resulting in the arrest of the three
employees.
Special Agent O'Keefe, who invests
gated the case says the method was to
place fictitious names on the pay rolls
and having authority to make out
checks gave them to friends to present
to the treasurer of the road. The men
who had been discharged but whose
names were never forwarded ITO the
company were among those used in
securing money.
Walsh and the O'Hern's have been
employed by the Illinois Central for a
number OF years and always bore good
regulations.

BRAZIL CLAIMS ACRE.
Significant information Has Reached

Significant Information Has Reached
The State Department..
Washington, April 22.-Significant In
| formation has reached the state depart
ment from official sources to the effect
| that Brazil is no longer c,ntenting her
self with protest against the estab-
lishment of a foreign syndicate of great
power on the head waters of the Anna
zon, but has now come forward with a
vigorous claim, backed by possession.
that the Acre territory is actually her
own Brazil started out. it is stated, by
urging only that the Acre territory was
in litigation. This contention was em-
bodied In treaty which was Withdrawn
by the Rio government before ratihca-
ition. From the date of withdrawal,
Brazil has been increasing her claims
until she now has obtained practical
recognition OF 1t by the agreement of
Bolivia to the temporary occupation of
the region by Brazilian troops pending
the final settlement of the dispute by
negotiation.
or considerable assistance to Brazil
| in the assumption of this advanced po-
sition with respect to the Acre ques-
ton has been the fact that the territory
| In dispute is inhabited solely by Bra
zilians. Surrender of all the Bolivian
garrisons stationed in Acre was accom-
plished by the insurrectjon there last
winter. Upon the establishment OF the
niodus vivendi, Placido Castro, the rev.
|olutionary leader, offered his services to
the federal authorities, fand since has
lacted as the governor fer the district
pending the arrival OF government
troops. There Is no hnpe in official
quarters that these insurgent troops
will be disarmed by the Brazilian gov
ernment as long as President Pando, Of
kEolivia, continues his march towards
Acre.
Bolivia's official explanation of PAN
dos continuance of his march towards
Acre after the agreement on a modus
|vivendi is that he simply desires to es-
tablish order south OF 10 degrees 20
minutes latitude south, the line agreed
ION as temporary boundary. It is ex-
pected that Pando Viii establish head,
quarters for his division a. Ribeira Alta,
at the junction of the Bani and Madre
De Dios rivers.
It is contended by the Brazilian gov
|ernment that In conseniing to permit
Brazil to s'pacify the Acre, ! Bolivia was
prompted by the hope that Brazil might
disarm the liberators Of the territory
and thus pave the way Tor a return of
Bolivian sovereignty.
According to the advices received at
the state department, the Brazilian
government will not allow General Pan-
do to crush the Acreans,

dramatic style. which Is likely to make
one of the notable papers OF the case.
It refers to EsterhaYy as "One who
stands before the entire world as a
