CARRIAGE MEN WOULD
 REVIVE THE TARIFF
Resolution Adopted at Atlanta Calls for Complete Revision of the
 DngIey Schedule.

Atlanta. Ga, October 2f.--Revision of the tariff was the principal subject of discussion at the session of the Carriage Builders National association convention here today Two resolutions were intro duced which formed the text of the debate. but final action was deferred un- til Thursday One resolution called for the complete revision of the Dingley tariff act and for immediate action along that line
 The second suggested a complete separ- ation of the tariff question from politics. It was urged that the tariff be assigned to some department of the national gov ernment or to a board of tariff revision to be appointed by federal power, which board shall be constantly in session. Copies of both resolutions were ordered engrossed and sent to President Roose- welt. Other subjects considered were com- mttee and officers reports and good roads. The nomination yesterday of Dan iel T. Wilson of New York city as pres ident of the association was unanimously ratified today by his election. The nomi- nations of other officers and an executive committee were made to be voted on later. The convention is expected to ad- journ Friday.

Milwaukee, Wis., october A.-'Tax tho billboards out of existence will be the battle cry of the American Civic asso- citation for the next year as result or a plan decided upon at its annual con vention which opened in Milwaukee to- day. Sentiment in favor of aggressive steps against the billboard characterized all addresses, and the organization will bring to bear the same powerful influ- ences which made successful it's campaign for the preservation of Niagara Falls.
 Secretary Clinton Rogers Woodruff of Philadelphia referred to the despoliations by bllboards of scenery, and said that the next great work which the American people must wage is against such desecra- ton of our landscapes This campaign must be waged on the one hand to abate the nuisance and on the other to create by a public sentiment sufficiently strong to force a solution of the question.
 Secretary Woodruff presented his an- nual report, as did also William B. How land, the treasurer. The membership and financial support has increased more than 50 per cent over last year

 Plans for opposing the packing com panies and fruit commission dealers were discussed at a session last night Two schemes to be used to break the force of the packing trust were decided upon One is that the members of the congress will try to cure the majority of the meat which they use themselves, and will also cure meats for the markets. The other plan will be to have an agent in each county to handle all the stock of the members and ship to another agent at the market.

 IN HIGH ESTEEM

 In Mexico.

Mexico City, October 2i-Reports from Los Angeles. Cal, intimatng that Gov ernor Yzabel of the state of Sonora, Mex leo, is q fugitive who fled from Mexico 10 Southern California to escape the wrath of this government, are causing consider able surprise here. Governor Yzabel was in the Gubernatoral chair at the time of the Cananea strike when a party of armed men went into the territory to aid in preserving order and protecting Amerl- can property. His every act during that crisis was warmly commended by Pres ident Dioz, who devoted d portion of his annual message. delivered before congress on September 16 to commendation of the governors acts.
 It Is true that a party of malconlents drew up set of resolutions severely con demning Governor Yzabel for his actions during the strike. These men travelled to the capital and prepared to interrupt the reading of the presidential message when that portion devoted to the praise of Governor Yzabel was reached. They had planned to demand the impeachment of the governor, but lost heart and the mat ter was never officially recognized
 Governor Yzabel is in Los Angeles for the purpose of placing his daughter in a school there. When he left Mexico he was accompanied to the station by Vice Pres ident Corral and a number of other Mex ican notables.

PRICES STILL SOAR
 IRON IS ALL SOLD
Car Famine Adds to PerpIexi-
 ties of Iron Market
FOREIGN PRICES ARE HIGH
1t Is Believed, However, That the Dan- ger of a Runaway Market Has Been Reduced to
 Minimum.

Cleveland october 24-fsAsA all l-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 It now seems practically certain that there will be an advance of 75 cents per ion on Bessemer ores and 90 cents on non- Bessemer for the year beginning May l. 1907 Until within the last few days, IL was supposed that the advance would not exceed 50 cents on Bessemer and 20 cents on non -Bessemer but sales nave al ready been made by one producer on&the higher basis, and other interests are like- lv to pursue the same policy. although with much reluctance
 Figuring two tons of ore to ton or nie iron. .he advance means that the cost of steel making will increase @'oo and of other grades $l per ton. To the dll- faculties of the pig iron famine, steaoiiy growing more acute, has been added an other perplexing feature in the increasing scarcity of cars, due chiefly to the heavy demands of the crop movement. The clos ing down of a number of plants mas al ready been forced and at the same tune certain furnaces, unable to secure cars, are bling up considerable tonnages of iron in the yards The pig iron marekt has passed out of the hands of the producer into the control of the melter, with whom price has become a small consideration The fact that practically the entire pros pective make has been acquired by con sumers. and that little is in the hands or speculators. reduced the danger Qf run away market to the minimum.
 Imports of iron are increasing, the re- cent engagement of some 4O,OO tons abroad being noted.

FARMERS URGED TO
 STICK TOGETHER
M. F. Sharp Says That Higher Prices Are the Best Sticking Plaster
 Known.

East St. Louis. Ill.,, October 4.-The feature of the days session of the first annual convention of the American So- cicty of Equity, which is composed of farmers, was the address Of M. F. Sharp of Narrows. Ky. He strongly urged the farmers to perfect an organization.
 The trusts and combines which are the agencies of the internal regions, call US jays, hayseeds, rubes and mossbacks, and say that even If we do organize, we won't stick he said "I tell you that when organization raises the prices of products it is the best sticking plaster in the world. l know the farmers will stick Equity means q fair deal. All man. ufacturlng industries fix the price of their products and know what price they are going to get for them. The farmers, the backbone of the nation, and the worlds greatest producer has been going on the theory that he will take what ever he can get flor his products. Equity intends that the farmer shall take his place with the worlds producers and fix a profitable price for his products. That can only be done by plan of mar keting products to control and regulate the market prices"
 Today's session was devoted principal ly to addresses along the line of form ing an agriculturists' organization to fix and maintain prices on farm products

ALL GOOD THINGS
 DUE ID TAMMANY
Croker Lauds Organization He
 Formerly Headed
REFORMERS DO NOTHING
Great Bridges, Elevated Railroad, Pub lie Buildings and All Such Things Are Result of Tam
 many's Work.

Dublin October 4.In an interview pub Iished shis afternoon in the Telegraph, Richard Croker referring to Tammany Hall and its alleged bad reputation, said:
 Ut is a case of giving good dog q bad name. If any one connected with the organization, however insignificant his position, does anything dishonorable' Tammany is blamed.
 "The reformers never did anything for New York The great bridges, the ele- vated railroad the public buildings and everything are the work of Tammany If there was corruption, why did not the district attorney prosecute somebody? Tammany Hall has succeeded entirely on it's merits It is the most democratic institution in the world. If anything is wrong with it, then something is wrong with the people themselves It stands not only for the poor man, but also Tor the foreigner newly landed on American shores. It believes, as against the repub- lican party, that the foreigners should receive the benefits of the American constitution as soon as possible. It stands all around for the equal rights"

NEWFOUNDlAND ANGRY.
Thinks America Is Violating Spirit of
 Ambassador Reeds Dispatch.

St Johns, N. F., October 4.-A great degree of ill-feeling was aroused today by the action of the American naval tug Potomac, which accompanied three Ameri- can fishing vessels on Monday to point outside territorial waters, and then later accompanied 100 Newfoundland fisherman, who went out to join these vessels. Yes terday the Potomac returned to St. Johns towing the three American vessels and forty small boats which Newfoundlanders had taken out from St. Johns for fishing purposes.
 The local press holds that this action is an evasion of the spirit of Ambassador Reids dispatch accepting the modus vivendi.
 During a storm today the American ves- sel Lewis Giles was driven ashore at Bay of Islands She probably will be a total wreck. Her crew of thirty men, twenty-five of whom are now Newfound- CTS. are ashore on an island at the mouth of the bay. Measures have been taken to rescue them.

Foreign Prices Also High.

New York, October A.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 There is urgency for spot pig iron all over the country. but 1t 's probably most acute fin New England, where melters have been forced into t.le market 70 se- cure metal at close to go per ton in spite of the fact that they have thrilled contracts with furnace interests at very much lower prices There has been an advance all along the iine, ane in all sec lions of the country and 1t is difficult to estimate exactly what foreign tonnage has been contracted for. One thousand tons of the 5000 tons of Middlesboro Iron has just arrived, and is nearly all sold. Another interest has three cargoes afloat, while the fact that what available freight room there was for some time 10 come on the regluar liners from Glasgow and Middlesboro has ben taken, Indicates that considerable quantities are to come tor ward This pig iron is selling at about s1 per ton below the price at which do- nestle iron is selling for prompt deliv- cry. but the foreign markets seem to keep pace with our advance so that the spread between foreign and domestic prices $ not nearly as large IS it was during the last import movement
 Steel is scarce all over the country. and some eastern DllletS nave dCludlly been sold in the Pittsburg district for s32 delivered
 There have been some further large scales of steel rails including 85000 tons additional for the New York Central, thus nearly doubling the former purchase for 1907 The Texas and Pacific has con- tracted for 30.000 tons. and the Northern Pacific for 10000 tons additional. An or der has been taken for 10,0G tons to go to Manila. and there is pending a lot of 3O0.oO0 tons for the Guayaqull and Quito road. The Canadian Pacific is in the market for a large tonnage, while it is expected that the Delaware and Hudson and the New Haven roads will place their orders at an early date.
 Lake shipbulders have ordered 3O.OOO tons of material with Chicago and Pitts burg mills. There has just been placed, however, by the City Investment com many of this city the order for 14,0O0 tons of shapes. and a Pittsburg shop has talk en 4000 tons for the new plant of the Standard Steel Car company at Ham mond. Ind. Bridge work is coming out quite freely The Northern Pacific road has placed 5000 tons. and has 10000 tons more to give ont. The Rock Island wants from 1000 to 5000 tons. and the sonth and western roads about eo,ooO tons of bridge material.

Shaw Is After Hearst.

Buffalo. N. Y, October A.-A repub- lican mass meeting was held at conven- tion hall tonight. Leslie M. Shaw, Secre- tary of the Treasury, was one of the speakers. In part he said:
 "The press dispatches quote the candi- date who professes to be running for the office of governor of this state both as the champion of the principles of the dernocratic platform and also as 1nde- pendent of all political principles, as say ing at Ogdenburg the other evening;
 If Mr. Rockefeller does not deal at your store, the richer he gets, provided he continues to take his money unJustly rom the masses and the poorer you get.
 "ro the extent that the Standard oil eompanv takes the money unjustly from the masses, or from the classes, let the Standard Oil company be punished, ana to the limit of the law; and let statesmen suggest specific remedies for protecting the equal rights of all. Inf1ammatory ut terances and statesmanship are by no means synonymous terms"
 Passing thHugh West Virginia the other day a stranger Tn the seat with me, asked that I notice well at the rear of the house we were passing. 1 observed the great arm Of the pump as it lifted the crude oil from some hun dreds of feet below the surface. My in- formant told me that the Standard Oil company had laid it's pipe to the well and that the owner without convenience, other than to read the meter had received a net income of over s15 a day for the past ten years.
 q do not know what profit the oil company makes in the service 1t renders from selfish motives be 1t admitted, but I am not prepared to believe that the owner of the well is any poorer than he vouId be if he were still compelled to pump his own oil buy barrels in which to ship it. and sell it in the open market.
 s'It is one thing to propose legislation which will give full and free scope to competition prevent rebates and special privileges, and quite another thing to teach the American people that all wealth Is dishonesty acquired
