RUSSIA CUTS DUTIES.
American Goods Not to Be Barred Hence
.Orth by Czar-Japan Becomes
an Ally

OYSTER BAY, y. V, Sept. H.
Formal ending by Russia of all dis
eliminating duties against goods from
the United States and announcement
that commercial alliance between Ja-
pan and the United States for the de-
velopment of the far east now is GER
tainty are startling developments of the
peace conference at Portsmouth.
To Presidents Credit.
These surprising and welcome echoes
OF the part the United States, through
President Roosevelt, had in bringing
about cessation of the slaughter i'll
Manchura were announced formally at
the Presidents home.
The concession on the part of Emperor
Nicholas respecting the importation of
American goods which. it is ackuowl-
edged, will give tremendous impetus to
American trade in the land of the Car
was made directly in gratitude for the
work of President Roosevelt in bring
ing about peace with honor to Russia.
Alliance Is Assured.
The news conveyed by Mr. Witte was
q surprise To the President, whose aims
for peace had no Interior political mo-
tive. When Mr.. White and Baron
Rosen met the President IN the trophy
room at Sycamore Hill before dinner the
SENIOR envoy stepped forward ana pre-
scented the following communication:
Some years ago, i'll consequence of
misunderstanding in the Interpretation
of the most favored nation clause. there
were established in Russia on several
articles of American production custom
duties on higher scale than those levied
on the same articles when imported
from other countries.
Discrimination Is Ended.
His majesty the Emperor of Russia
has commanded me to inform the Presi-
dent of the United States that he has
been pleased to order the discontinuanca
of the laying Of such higher duties on
American products, i'll order that hence
forth the American manufacturers should
pay the same duties as importers from
other countries"
President Roosevelt warmly thanked
the Gar. through Mr.. Witte. The OH
cial reply has not been given ont.
Japan Comes in Also.
Baron Kaneko was invited to Saga
more Hill for luncheon by President
Roosevelt and spent three hours here.
'ln the course of my work i'll America
| have interested many leaders of com
merce in an economic alliance. Now
that the war is over the commercial in
terests of the United States must of
necessity work hand in hand in the new
economic problems of the far east.
preliminary to this alliance we must
foster an interchange of the products of
the two countries. We produce things
that you want. and do not know but we
need your products, and wish 10 KNOW
more about them.

MURDERED IN HOTEL.
Another Mysterious Killing Battles the
New York Police Depart
ment.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-What may
develop into another mysterious hotel
murder like that of Jacob II. Thompson,
well kncwn editor, was discovered yes
torday in an obscure hosiery at Sixth
avenue and Fifty-SiXth street.
Finds Him Dead.
Through the odor of escaping gas, a
maid in the hotel was drawn to Il room
occupied for the night previous 10y Alfred
krattingcr, a public accountant, who
lived with his wife, father and brothers
in West Flfty-Second street. The room
was broken open and Krattlnger found
dead in the bed. At first it appeared to
be Il commonplace suicide such as cor
oners handle Il dozen times week. \
systematic examination of the body and
the room was made by the detectives.
Evidence of Murder
1t was observed that the transom Of
the room was half open while the room
showed none of the usual preparations
for suicide by gas. When the coroner
came to examine the body closely he mo-
ticed that the face was not hlackened or
discolored, rs frequently happens i'll
asphyXiation cases. Then he saw large
hruise just over the right ear, near the
temple, as might have been caused 10y
hard fail or Il blow from a heavy stick
or blunt weapon. The coroner could not
determine from curSory examination
whether the skull was fractured. That
will he determined today by the coron-
er's physician
Valuables All Cone
Krattinccr's brothers told the coro-
ncr that there should have been found
on the body a diamond pin, worth
$llu0 and considerable amount of
cash. The only thing found in the
pockets was a cheap pocket knife. There
was no trace of the diamond pin.
1t was subsequently asccrtaiued by
the coroner that the hotel register had
been tamuercd with and the time of
krattinscr'S arrival changed The hotel
employees profrSsed entire ignorance as
to who made the change.

BANK CASHIERS TO
 TELL THEIR STORIES.

Little Rock, June 2O.-One of the features of the poodle inves- tigation now going on in the Pulaski grand jury is the num- Der of bank cashiers who are being called in as witnesses. In the absence of any knowledge of their testimony. the presumption is not an unnatural one that they are being called upon to testify as to the bank accounts of mem- bers. For instance, if a member of either house should borrow $6O at the beginning of the ses- sion to pay his expenses to Little Rock, and upon returning should pay back that amount and de- posit in some bank the sum of %,OO0, the grand jury might consider that an unusual bit of financiering. Whe ther such things have been done is not now known, but may come out in the trials next week.
 The latest banker to be sum- moned before the inquisitors is J. o. Ragan, cashier of the Bank of Lamar, at Lamar, Johnson county.
