MORE TROUBLE FOR cARUSo.
Police Make New Charges Against Fa-
nous Italian Tenor.

nous Italian Tenor.
New York, Nov. 23.-After a session
full of dramatic. incidents, chief Of
which was the appearance of two veil
ed society women as accusers against
Enrico Caruso, the trial Of the latter
on the charge Of insulting woman in
the Central park monkey house was
again adjourned.
Deputy Police Commissioner Mathot
said that he believed that he will be
able to produce Mrs Hannah Graham
in court
The appearance of the two veiled
women was the first act in a new move
to show that the tenor had pinched
and annoyed women at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House and at the horse
show.
AS soon as Caruso was called to the
bar Magistrate Baker at the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Mathot ordered that the
doors leading to his seat from the back
rooms be unlocked.
Through one of these doors a young
woman was escorted. Standing by the
side of Magistrate Baker, she was
pointed out by Mr.. Mathot as woman
whom, he said, Caruso had pinched
and otherwise annoyed in manner
similar to that charged in the. com
plant at the performance of 'Parsifal''
at the Metropolitan on April 4, 1904.
Caruso denied that he had ever seen
the woman. It is said she is member
of the chorus at the opera house.

Waiting only to witness the first out
break of his insane handiwork, the
firebug would hurry with his tinder
box to another dwelling, there to apply
the torch to oil soaked wood and cloth
which he had previously seereted in
coal bins, dumb waiter shafts or be-

cuing the frantic tenants. prevented
six houses from being speedily convert

TariT Reform coming.


The latest Republican converts from
the stand pat doctrine before election
were Perry Heath and Elmer Dover,
who were educated in the Hanna
school of politics in the good old
stand pat days" They may now be
counted as belonging to the Republican
outs, but are looking with longing
glances for the chance to be the ins
when the political pendulum swings
their way They evidently see that
tariff reform must come and think that
President Roosevelt has made great
mistake in surrendering to the trusts
and protected monopolists. The tariff
issue is no doubt purely matter of
politics with both those two worthless.
and the president and all the Repub-
lean leaders, except the ardent stand
patters, seem ready to change their tar
iff coats as policy dictates. There is no
doubt that very large number of the
Republican voters favor revising the
tariff schedules that shelter and pro-
tect the trusts, but their wishes for
the present at least have been nullifed
by the alliance and adroit maneuyer-
ing of the president and Speaker Can
non to prevent tariff revision. But tar
iff reform is on the eve Of accomplish
ment and the fact that stand patters
like Heath and Dover are forced to see
it is the best evidence that the tide is
running that way

1ncreased nusanesa wor1dwide.

The British board OF wade has issued
a statement on the remarkable expan-
sion that has taken place in the worlds
commerce this year, which shows that
all the leading countries have partici-
pated IN the improvement in exports.
The matter to be especially noted is
that the increase shows a greater per
cent in most other countries than it
does in the United States, so that the
Republican boast that the tariff and
the Republican party are responsible
for the prosperity here is idle, for the
movement is worldwide and is Goubt-
less caused in a great measure by gold
imitation and is hindered rather than
helped by our protective tariff.
