ROOTS ACTION COMMENDED.
Berlin Government Approves Sending
 of Tariff Experts.

Berlin October 22.-The announcement that Secretary Root has decided to ap- point two tariff experts to visit Germany and consult with German customs of ficals and boards of trade for the purpose of obtaining material for possible modih- cations of administrative features of the American tariff laws which have been the subject of much complaint on the part of German exporting interests, was received in the foreign office here in the most favorable spirit.
 The fact has been that the group of of- fieials at the foreign office dealing with the subject of the proposed new com mercial arrangement between Germany and the United States did not know pre- viously what step to take next in re- opening the question which, in It's normal course must be settled by June 90 next. It Is believed here that Secretary Root g decision is likely to contribute greatly to an ultimate understanding on the subject.

New York, October 22.-Political activity was renewed with energy today by the gubernatoral candidates upon whom thus far has rested the burden of the cam paign. Both held informal conferences with leaders among their supporters dur ing the day, and tonight appeared before large audiences.
 The Independence League held a meet ing at Madison Square Garden where all who could get inside heard w. R.

 Charles D. Hughes, the republican nom- inee for governor, after a talk with State Chairman Woodruff this afternoon left for Kingston, where he spoke to- night MT. Hughes will be away ten days. After seeing MT. Hughes today MT. Woodruff sent out a warning to re- publican leaders. The state chairman fears over-confidence, and urges party workers not to belittle the strength of the opposition
 Charles r. Murphy, leader of Tam many hall, again declared Tammany' s allegiance to the Independence League, as represented in the democratic state tick et and advocated the election of Mir. Hearst.

SILVEIRA IS SAFE
 DOWN IN VENEZUELA
Cuba and the United States Have No Extradition Treaties and the Situa-
 ton Is Rather Complicated.

Washington, October 2-The United States can take no step to bring about the extradition of Silverla, the Cuban banker wanted in Havana, and now said to be in Caracas, Venezuela.
 There is no extradtion treaty between the republic of Cuba and Venezuela and the United States cannot interfere in any way in the case according to state de- partment officials, who insist that the relations of this government to Cuba are not such as to justify American participa- tion in any manner to have Silveira ex- tradited. Consequently, Governor Magoon of Cuba may ask President Castro of Venezuela to permit Silveira to be taken by Cuban authorities, but the outcome is dependent entirely upon the will of Presi- dent Castro.

Bishop Walden Says Some Things on Negro Problem
LARKIN TAILS OF FRISCO
Says Ohio Methodists Not Only Re I fused Money to Sufferers, But
 Refused to Hear His
 Pleas for Aid.

Cincinnati, October 22-The negro prob lem and relief for San Francisco furn- ished two sensations for the Methodist ministers of this section at their weekly meeting today. As a result President Roosevelt may be asked by the Cincinnati Methodist Episcopal Ministers association to give his attention to an address on the Race Problem" delivered by Bishop John M Walden, if the proposition be- fore the association is adopted. In the course of his address Bishop Walden said:
 This country will not fulfill it's objects until the nation comes to consider it's re- lation with the negro as that of a guar dian to a ward. This problem is not a problem of the north alone, nor of the south alone. It is a problem for the na- ton. This nation which is so rich and powerful must solve the race question it. self. During the days before the war the idea that the negro was to have when freed his forty acres of land from the government was freely circulated. But when the freedom came no forty acres with 1t.
 Three Factors of Question.
 There are three things that enter into the negro question. The thought of inn planting in the colored man the idea of industry, the idea of honesty. the idea of home making. The colored man has been charged with laziness. The northern traveller who goes south and comes home Is filled with stories of the lazy colored
 
 ern cities I tell you he saw but few. The colored man will make a good bus mess man and a good citizen if we only give him the chance, but the problem is with us, individually, with the Methodist Episcopal church collectively and with the great United States government in a paternal sense.''
 Larkin Creates Sensation.
 The other sensation was an address by Rev. Dr. F. M. Larkin of San Francisco in which he made bitter attack on the Methodists of Ohio for the small amount of money that they have contributed to the stricken Methodists of San Fran cisco
 Dr. Larkin said:
 Not only have the Ohio Methodists failed to give money to the earthquake sufferers of our faith, but they refuse even to hear me, sent here for the pur- pose, present the matter to them in their pulpits. It Is a shame, I say. I have sent out letters to churches all over Ohio begging to be allowed to come and tell of the need of the earthquake sufferers of Methodist faith, and out of a hun dred of my requsets for a hearing l got three invitations.
 From San Francisco, my brother min isters write: Unless you send us aid we perish We cannot preach to starving people nor tell of the goodness of God in poverty stricken homes.
