LONDON, Fab - A despatch to the
Times from Constantnople says that the
question Of an increase in the Turkish
customs is complicated by the attitude Of
the United States. Hitherto the nreat.-

1T Is bad enough, some 81 them whisper,
that the ambassadors Should propose to
paw for their reforms in Macedonia by
allowing the Turks 10 increase the duties
on our goods as we'll as their own, The
least they could do would be 10 make a
pretence of consulting us in the matter.
This feeling found expression in con-
versation between Mr. Leishman, the
American Minister. and Te"f.A; P-sna MIN
is.er Of Foreign Affairs. .lr Leishman
warned Tewfk that the consent Of the
United States would have To be obtaine
before increased duties could be levied on
American goods, and his Government
was not likely to assist Turkey in this way

Diplomatic circles doubt how far the
United States is justified in taking this
line In come quarters it is maintained that

altered which can be done. without con-
sulting the governments to which Turkey

1t is unlikely, however that America S

kind from making their voices heard on a
question which concerns their trade. The
United States have a freer hand than the
other Powers, which are afraid that re-
fusal to grant per cent increase in the
duties will compromise the prospects Of
the financial commission in Macedonia ,
while the Americans have, Of course, no
share in the res sponsihility for the creation
and maintenance of that body and do not
feel bound to consider how their action may

GIVES Up BARD FOR DEAD.
Detective Sent to Brussels Hints at Robbery
and knOckO kOut Drops.

John j. Fogarty OF the Central Office
squad obtained leave Of absence elk weeks
aso and went sleuthirg to Belgium for
Alfred NJ. Bard. nephew Of former United
State. Senator Thomas Robert Bard Of
California.
Young Bard was violinist and went to
Brussels last August to study. He intended
to return to New York in October by Red
Star liner. His uncle was waiting at the
pier to meet him. He was not aboard, and
the Brussels police, with whom the uncle
Immediately got into communication, were
unable to find him.
The police had learned much about
Bard's diaappea rance when Fogarty arrived
in Brussels, and the detective failed TO get
additional information. Bard was the only
boa rider in a house in Brussels that had
several other dodgers. and was on intimate
terms with the landlady. He had intended,
as he declared to his uncle, to sail for New
York early in October. The landlady per-
eladed him to stay a week longer.
The young man went away from Brussels
with woman: leaving two ,violins, which
Fogarty brought here and which we're sent
yesterday that Bard was dead, and inti-
mated that his death was due in part to
knockout drops. Bard had drawn $500
from Brussels bank just before the time
he expected to sail and this was missing.
All Fogartys expenses were paid by ex-
Senator Bard.
Fogarty obtained leave Of absence with
out pay at the request OF X, Woodland

majority Of the Assembly declared that
Juetice Hooker was an unfit Judge, and on

There is, Of course, the argument that
constant renewal Of this case tends to up
set the judiciary, but: since the. majority
of the Assembly voted as they did, thlnk
that the case should he reopened and the
unfit Judge removed

SLOW IN PREPARING DEMANDS.
The Anthracite Committee May Keep at

in preparing the demands Of the anthracite
mine workers was continued in the Ashland
House Yesterday in the absence Of John

finished ite work and might take all week

The reports from Pittsburg quoting
Mitchell as saying that go far as he knew
there would be strike surprised the COM
nittees They doubted the correctness Of
the reports, and general sentiment among
them was that il was not like Mitchell
to make such a statement, especially in
Wow of the fact that the anthracite miners
have not vet sent their demands to the
operators and that the negotiations with
the operators have not begun.
An article published by David W!lloox
president of the Delaware and Hudson
Company, on Present Conditions in the
Anthracite Industry" has been circulated
among the operators and others in pamphlet
form, 1t gives description Of the opera
tions Of the anthracite strike commission
and gives extracts from Mitchell's pub
lshed addresses. In one of these it quotes
Mitchell as SAYING:
And when l say that wages are high,
! do not mean by any means that l am
satisfied. and furthermore l do not want
YOU to be satisfied with what you get 1t is
more and more all the time If you were to
get an increase of rs per cent on your wage
earnings tomorrow, would still be asking
for more"
The official organ of the United Mine
Workers this week contains an article on
wage demands which states that every
Circumstance shows that the mine workers
! are entitled to an advance in wages, more
especially the soft coal miners, 1t then goes
into figures to show An alleged increased
