MANUFACTURERS ON
 TARIFF REVISION
REPORT OF COMMITTEE lNcLUD- - ING POLLS WILL BE MADE AT
 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
 MANUFACTURES IN NEW YORK.

New York, May I,-The report of the committee on tariff and reciprocity, in- cluding poll of the members as to their views on the tariff revision, will be made 10 the National Association of Manufac- turers of the United States tomorrow. Much interest centers in what the com mittee has learned, and its report was the subject of much speculation tonight among those attending the convention.
 While the convention has carefully guarded It's findings 1t was stated with some show of authority that the poll had found in favor of a revisions of the Ding ley tariff At today's session President Vancleave, fin presenting his annual re- port, called for a fund of $1 100000 to be used during the next three years in com position. The principles were, he said, founded upon the open shop, opposition to the boycott and the dictation of labor unions, and the fund would be required to further these tenets Subsequently, a committee of thirty-five was named to devise means of raising the million and a half. The association placed itself on rec ord by the adoption of a report submitted by the committee on interstate commerce opposing any compulsory reduction in the rates for transportation of passengers by railroads. The committee in its report eX- pressed the opinion that any such re- duction would be accompanied by an n- crease in freight rates.

A Demand for Tan Shoes.
ro.l the Malden News.

f fO-l the Maiden NeWs.
 Shoe manufacturers have done their best to fight against tan shoes. but the pub lie will have them. A few years ago tan shoes were almost shut out of the mar ket. Nobody seems to understand why, unless 1t is because there is less profit in them for the manufacturer and they do not wear out quickly. At all events, the public was kept away from tan shoes. This year the supply of tans appears to be small, but the wearers are taking a hand in things and demanding that tho retailers produce the goods, and the re- tailers have told the jobbers and the job bers are after the manufacturers. What few tan shoes there have been on the market are low-cut shoes, in which there is more profit apparently. On some arti- cles Of wearing apparel the customer will take his cue from the storekeeper, but on shoes he comes pretty near know ing about what he wants. And the Ameri- can girl, she. too, has declared for tans for summer wear

DENY SCHM|Tz'S
 GRAFT CHARGES
  Motion for New Trial Judge is
 Denied NEW PANEL FOR TODAY Largest Crowd Yet Is Attracted By the Investigation of the ExtortIon Case Against San Fran.
 csco's Mayor.

San Francisco, May 21-The largest crowd that has thus far been attracted by any of the proceedings in the investiga- tion and prosecution was in attendance in the superior court today when Mayor Schmitz made his appearance on the charge of extorting money from local French restauranteurs with the con- nivance of Abraham Ruef. Not only was the court room crowded to it's utmost capacity but score of people stood on the benches in order to catch a glimpse the defendant and lose no incident of the proceedings.
 Assistant District Attorney Heney read affidavits sworn to by himself and Judge Dunne, denying categorically the allega- tion made in the affidavits filed last Satur- day by the defense in support of the mo- ton for a substitution of trial judge In the affidavits of the defense 1t was al- legged among other things that Rudolph Spreckles and the men who are asso- ciated with men as financial guarantors of prosecution are in reality carrying out a conspiracy to dethrone the pres ent municipal administration for the pur- pose of taking over the reins of the gov ernment and of causing to be granted to themselves street railway and water franchises that shall net them millions of dollars in return for the thousands they have expended in the bribery graft in- vestigation and prosecution.
 MT. Henry in reading his own affidavit threw intense feeling into his voice and gestures. He denied with the greatest emphasis that he or those who are as sociated with him In the prosecution have any ulterior motives; that they desire po- litical preferment or municipal office or that they have any purpose whatever be- yond the purification of the municipality and the punishment of those whom they may accuse of corrupt practices
 At the conclusion of the reading of the affidavits, Judge Dunne denied the mo- tion for the change of trial judge. That the court elzer Is to have no part in the trial of Schmitz, so far as the immediate intention goes, was shown by the fact that Judge Dunne ordered that none of the seventy-seve ntalesmen now available shall be permitted to serve as possible jurors except those who were summoned by the sheriff. Those who were summoned by Elisor Bigney inciden- tai to the Ruef pfoceeulnSs were dls- missed from service. Subsequently Mr. Henry stated that the counsel for both sides agreed to excuse all of the sixteen jurors summoned by the sheriff and asked that the court dismiss them and order the drawing of fresh panel of fifty tales men from the regular list. This will be done.
 A recess was taken to allow of the bringing of the jury box from the clerk s office to the court. A new panel of tales men was made returnabe at 10:30 a. m. tomorrow. All witnesses for the prosecu- ton were excused until Thursday.

Is AGAIN GREETED BY
 4 LARGE AUDIENCE
COLONEL DILLINGHAM; INTER- EsTs ANOTHER LARGE AUDI ENcE ON THIRD AVE
 NIUE LOT.
Throng of People Entertained With Lecture and Vaudeville By
 Plant Juice Company.

Again a large crowd gathered last night to hear Col. Dillingham; give his inter esting lecture and vaudeville entertain ment on the vacant lot on Third avenue, opposite the Majestic theatre. As was th case Monday night the closest atten- tio.l was paid the lecturer during his talk on health matters.
 4s is really a help to many people to listen to one of the lectures given by the colonel. Many are ailing and do not realize that the little pains they now suffer will finally result in chronic dls- ease oi some kind. During the course IT his lectures, Col Dillingham; describes the first symptoms of catarrh, rheumatism, kidney, liver bladder and stomach trou- bles. These, he says are first evidenced by pains and gripping of the stomach diz- ziness in the head, accompanied by black spots before the eyes. Upon arising in the morning one has pains in the small of the back and it Is with difficulty that he attains a standing position. The ap- petite fails or Is not regular; at times one eats ravenously, while at other times h. has no appetite and even the sight of food nauseates him. In the latter case 1t is core than probable that the sui ferer has a tape worm.
 These parasites, the colonel contends, are carsed<by the eating of raw or very rare meats. Such food carries into the digestive organs the germ of a parasite which continues to grow and as the food passes into the stomach, the tape worm Increases in size and gradually saps up the nourlshment from the food eaten, the sufferer gaining no good.
 Plant Juice Remedies, Col Dillingham; claims, is natures own remedy, manu- factured as 1t Is from the juices of herbs and roots.
 '-'Ae principal remedy of Col Dillingham; Is the Plant Juice besides which he has the Plant Juice liniment, Plant Juice salye and Plant Juice soap.
 The vaudeville performance given by the Plant Juice Remedy company in con- nection with the lectures are highly en- tertaining and the audience last night was composed largely of ladies'

A Wonderful Record for an Educa-
 tionaI Institution.

Much is being said and written about the tidal wave of prosperity that has swept over this country during the past few years That we have had an era of great prosperity throughout the country during the past. decade Is confessed by even the confirmed croaker. Businesses of almost every line are experiencing a. period of unparalleled prosperity. But of all the successes that have been record ed during these prosperous times, few companies have excelled the record that has been made by Draughon's Practical Business College Company This com pany at present owns and operates cnaln of twenty-eight business colleges located in sixteen of our Southern and Western States Eighteen years ago Prof. John F. Draughon established the first one of these colleges. beginning business with a capital of onl. s60; today the company of which he is President and majority stockholder, is-~ capitalized at .$300, ,000, of which more than $25O 900 Is paid up. The Board of Directors of this com pany recently met and declared 20 per cent dividend, which has already been paid, and in addition purchased sl6- 900 lot in Nashville, Tenn, on which the company will soon erect for Its home office six-story building at a cost ap- proximating $50.000 While 1t is doubtless a fact that an investment in a scholar ship at the regular rates in any one of tn, twenty-eight colleges owned and op- erated by Draughons Practical Business College Company pays every worthy stu dent large annual dividend for the rest of his life. and while thousands of stu dents lave enrolled in these colleges dur in, the past twelve months at the regu- lar rates, the company has decided, In view of the liberal patronage received by the company during the past twelve months, to give It's patrons an opportun- ity to share in the regular profits by all lowing them Special Summer Discount.
