Rockefeller has had much trouble protecting
the privacy OF his preserve and in guarding
his fish and game. Adironda ok natives and
guides for some years have been causing
private preserve owners much trouble, and
the feeling became intense enough some
time ago to result in the shooting of a New

MEAN JEWEL APPRAISER FIRED.
"en. Mindn Removed a. the Result sf
Charges OF UnderValuatiOn

W~AsHINCToN. Nov. lathe Secretary OF
the Treasury has dismissed from the public
service Gen. George W. Mindil, who has
been for many years the chief examiner OF
precious o in the New York Appraiser
Stores. The dismissal IL the outcome of
an investigation ordered by Secretary
Shaw some weeks ago to determine the
responsibility for extensive un dervalua-
tions of diamonds and other gems at he
port of New York.
About two years ago the Treasury de-
partment assigned two men 20 assist Gen
Mlndil IN his work. for 1t was deemed wise
not to leave the responsibility of appraising
something like $40, oOO, 1000 worth Of gems
annually TO one officer OF the customs.
Still Gen. Mindl had the assignment of the
invoices for appraisement. and it has been
charged that he assigned the most valuable
consignments to himself.
Last summer Gen. Mindil was absent
from his office for several weeks on a va
cation, and all the work of appraising pre-
cious stones was done by his assistants.
They found that one invoice Of gems
amounting to a large sum had apparently
been undervalued by about 90 per cent.
hi importer was called upon to pay extra
duties amounting to about n 10000, and his
action in making the payment with little
resistance or hesitation aroused the sus-
picions Of the customs authorities.
The precious stone in question had been
passed upon by Gen. Mindil. and he was
charged with dereliction Of duty. A thor
ough investigation followed with the result
that Gen. Mindil has been dismissed.
Gen. Mindil ia a veteran OF the civil war
and is a prominent member OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic. the Loyal Legion
and other organizations.

HOW THEY VOTED.

Defeating Tariff Reform.

Washington. March BY a vote of
to the senate committee on Philip
pines today defeated the Payne bill
which had passed the house by a vote
Of 25s to II. The acton Of the COM
mittee had been foreshadowed for
nearly a week although the exact vote
had not been known.
The senators voting for the bin were:
Lodge, Beveridges Long, Carmack and
McCreary. The negative votes We're.
Hale, Burrows, Dick Nixon. Brande-
gee. Culberson, Dubois and Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken MI McCreary moved that the
Dill De reported to the senate adversely
in order to give the senate a chance to
consider 1t. Mr.. Brandegee moved to
table the motion and this was carried
by vote Of to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting
with the minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes of the
measure unless the chairman Of the
committee should appeal to the senate
by resolution This course is regarded
as unlikely.
Almost as soon as the committee was
called to order the motion was made to
report the bill and It was voted down as
stated. After Mr.. Creary's motion and
Mr. Brandagee's proposal that it should
be tabled, Mr. Lodge, the chairman ad-
dressed the committee. He said the
course proposed was unusual and that
there could be no good purpose accom-
piished in thus preventing the senate
from reviewing the action of the com
mittee if it desired. The opponents of
the bill made no reply

port his bill which provides for free

Patterson's Letter Accompanying His
Resignation from Office.

Chicago. March 2=The letter writ
ten by Mr.. Patterson to Mayor Dunno
resigning the Office of superintendent
of public works. in part follows:
1T was through the common BELIEF
of the municipal ownership question
that I became acquainted with you ana
/ nthis letter of resignation desire 10
express explicitly how my views on the
subject have been changed. They have
not diminished. They have enlarged. i
used to believe that many of the Ills
under which the nation suffers and by
which it Is threatened, would be pre-
vented or avoided by the general in
auguration Of public ownership Of pup
lie utilities. But my experience IN the
department of public works mas con-
WINGED me that this policy would not
be even one-fourth OF the way SUM
Mr.. Patterson then cites the cases
of Great Britain and Germany IN
the former country. he declares, where
municipal trading had been success
fully developed, the problem OF the
unemployed is becoming OF tremen-
dous intensity. In Germany, where
the government ownership or railroads
has been inaugurated and munlclPal
ownership of public utilities is para
mount. the poor are growing poorer
and the rich are growing richer with
an aceeleration hardly less than that
80 evident in the United States
He then calls the attention of the
where the large corporations have at
tempted, as he says, to override the
law The letter concludes as follows:
THE universal ballot gives every
male citizen an equal political opinion.
The common ownership of all the means
of production and distribution would
give everybody an equal chance at mus
ic. art sport study, recreation, travel,
self respect, and the respect of others
for one cannot see why those things
should be placed more and more in the
hands of a few. I believe that the the
ownership from which money springs
should be vested in the whole commun-
ity. In other words, as ! understand d
It, I am a socialist have hardly
read book on socialism but that
which I have enunciated believe IN
general to be their theory. If it be
| their theory, am a socialist. You viii
ind. and other advanced liberals ana
radicals who believe as you do, Will
find that you are merely paltering with
skin deep measures when you stop short
/ of socialism.
Mayor Dunno at once wrote Mr.. Pat
/ terson, accepting his resignation ana
promising to reply to hil letter IN the
near future.
