said:
The defendant absolutely declined to give anv
Information to throw any light upon the distri-

INDORSE OLCO1T BILL.
Merchants and importers approve
Measure to amend Customs Lazcs.

Prominent merchants and importers at meet
ing held at the Broadway Central Hotel yesterday
Endorsed the BILL introduced February 20 by
Congressman Ocott which amends the, customs
laws to provide for open hearings In customs
reappraseraent cases. Controller Metz. in calling
the meeting to order said that the bill met with
general approval among importers. He declared
that inustices in collecting duties existed. but that
criminal prosecutions for differentiation had been
practically abandoned. partly because juries were
adverse to what they considered the excessive
penalties OF the Customs Administrative act. open
sions. he said would enable the public to judge
of the sucency OF the evidence and the appraisers
would get valuable assistance from merchants
Thomas H Dowllug offered humorous picture
of the present situation. asserting that AN i'm
porter Is n man whose word is always doubted and
who is in constant fear of having to pay the gov
eminent more than he owes" Mr. Bowling said
the importers of New-York paid into the Treasury
last year slS1. 100000 and they would insist upon
square deal
Gustav II. Schwab presented the resolutions that
were finally adopted They declared that President
MCKINLEY requested the Merchants ton. IN
1889 to appoint committee to study the Customs
Administrative act with view TO make the law
more equitable. Mr.. Olcotts bill contains most of
the recommendations made by the Merchants AS
ISOLATION committee
John NJ. Locke opposed the resolutions. saying
that 'open hearings" would compel importers to
disclose valuable trade secrets learned through long
experience. motion TO send the resolutions 10 a
committee for further consideration was defeated

HEAR HAINES ATTACKED
s. p. c. Il. Reform Association
Meets-Board ConUenes To-day.

About hundred men and women attended
the meeting of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals Reform Association, at the
Waldorf-Astoria last night, and listened to
speeches censuring John p. Haines. president of
the society which were loudly applauded All
the speakers demanded that he resign.
A resolution adopted for the appointment
of committee of ten to arrange for large
mass meeting of the association In the interests
Of animal protection. This meeting will prob
ably be held at Carnegie Hall and it is hoped
TO have Joseph H. Choate and Mark Twain
among the speakers
Jared F. Harrison presided at the meeting last
night and speeches were made by Arthur Turn
ure and Colonel Mesrop Newton, ex-secretary or
the Persian Legation al Washington and former
ly military aid to the Shah of Persia
1t was evident that those who attended the
meeting were opposed TO existing conditions In
the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO
Animals. and yet were anxious to be of some
help to abused animals. The reform association
is not officially connected with the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals but there
were present also few members Of the latter
society Arthur Turnure organizer of the as
ISOLATION spoke of the opportunities of graft In
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails. He said that s10OO.O00 had been spent in
ten years, and that an investigation of its ex-
peuditure was opposed Mr.. Haines, he said, had
for fifteen years been strengthening his position
by legislation. and the members of the
board of managers were mere dummies. Mr.
rPurnllre ended his speech with the suggestion
of a legislative inquiry into the societys affairs.
letter was read from c. A Hamlin, of SYRIA
cuse in which he said that John P. Haines was
unqualified in mind and heart to be at the head
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. Another letter of sympathy with the
reform association was from ex-Police Commits
sioner McAdoo.
There was another rumor afioat last night
that John p. Hanes would resign the presl-
dency of the S. p. c. A. to-day. This report
said that his resignation was TO take effect on
October /. Mr. Haines refused to answer tele-
phone Inquiries with regard to this report The
board of managers of the S. p. c. a. will hold
their monthly meeting this afternoon. The re-
form members will present a long list of charges
of corruption and neglect, and demand that the
board of managers fix the responsibility. 1t is
possible that if Mr. Haines tenders his
resignation it will be laid the table until there
has been an opportunity to investigate. Should
he be found responsible for the alleged mis-
his summary dismissal would
probably follow.
