GERMAN TARIFF EMBARRASSING

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The Ger
man tariff situation is extremely EN-
barrassing to the state department, and
there is little hope that Congress will
pass legislation which will relieve the
state department and make it possible
for Secretary Root to live up
to the inducements that are held
out to Germany which resulted in the
temporary extension to this country
by Germany OF its minimum tariff rates
pending a readjustment of the customs
regulations.
Since Germany extended its minimum
rates to the United States there have
been repeated efforts by the state de-
partment to obtain the much desired
customs changes. Secretary Shaw
agreed to these changes and they were
laid before Congress, but the bill under
went notifications and in the form it
was reported to the House did not make
good the promises of the state depart
ment.

Sensational Naturalization Oisclo-
sures in Police Force.
PROSECUTIONS ARE PROMISED
New York Police Force Will Be Inves-
tigated and All the UnnaturaliEed
Members Will Be 0usted
and Prosecuted.

NEW YORK, June as.-An investiga.
tion is now being made into the natual.
ization of all naturalized members OF
the New York police force. Any whose
papers are fraudulent will not only be
dismissed, it is understood, but will be
prosecuted by the United States authori.
ties.
The investigation is expected to result
in a sensational shakeup in the police
department. a the naturalized men on
the force constitute IS per cent of it.
Some frauds already have been dis
covered.
The investigation was begun three
weeks ago when police Commission Bing-
ham wrote to United States District At
torney Henry A. Stimson asking that
the Federal authorities help out him
in seeing that the naturalization papers
presented by the foreign born applicants
for jobs on the force are all right and
according to law.
1t is said that irregularities in the
other departments led the commissioner
to make the request.
