Will The President Appoint Tariff COmmls.
sion.
In appointing tariff commits.
sion, President Arthur did the
best he could. but President
Roosevelt can do better. He has
a larger field to draw from.
The subject is better understood
now than it was a quarter of a
century ago. He can appoint
men whose character. ability,
fairness, and public spirit will
command the respect of Congress
and the country.
The commission should be com.
posed of men who have no fnau-
cial interest in any industry which
the tariff touches. They should
be men who have made pro-
found study of economic and in.
dustrial questions. and who nav
ing no monetary conn ection with
any activity affected in any way
by any tariff schedule can look at
the question on all sides and can
lOOs at it sanely aud impartiaIly.
Therc are hundreds of such men
in the United States. In its
hearings in the various business
centers the commission can get
the views of men of experience in
all the great interests. 1t can
thus learn what all the important
industries ask and is free to form
its own iudement after it has
heard everything worth hearing
from them all
| Composed of men of that sort
the commission would hold a
somewhat similar relation to
Congress that a body of expert
accountants bears to a corporation
whose financial affairs have be.
come tangled and which wants to
have its bookkeeping straighten-
ed out so that it can make a new
start and make the start OH cor
rect lines. Having no responsi.
bility for the complications which
called them in and having no pre-.
Judices or prepossessiOhs of any
kind to impede them the account
ants sole function would be to
bring order out of the confusion
and they could he relied on to do
their work with intelligence and
scrupulous fairness. Their Judge
ment would be accepted promptly
and implicitly by the average
board of directors.
Like the Interstate Commerce
Commission the tariff commission
should be a permanent BODY.
Permanence would enable 1t i'm
mediately to correct any mistakes
which it might make in any
duties. 1t would always keep in
close touch with the situation.
In these days when the discovery
of new sources Of production and
the invention of new appliances
and methods are frequent industry

Cufblng Speculation.

VuiDiuy 0peIuialUD'
The same frantic speculation
that has been going on in the
United States has been seen in
Germany, and the consequence
have been so serious that the reich
stag has passed a restriction law
that would seen almost tyrannicaIs
in the United State. 1t lay down
minute rules concerning the Or
ganization of stock exchanges and
their method of doing business.
and authorizes a government Off
cial called "bourse commissioner"
to 90 on the bourse every day and
see that the law is strictly obeyed
The produce section of each bourse
has also to put up with five great
landed alproprietors on its commit.
tee, who are appointed to be pre-.
sentiwhen tbe..uuotatioDs for agri-
cultural produce are annnou need
The aristocratic farmers made a
great fight for this concession,
having the usual rural conviction
that produce quotations we're mani
pulated against producers, but
theysare satisfied by experience,
and now rarely appear in the COM
mittee to discharge their functions
The law does not attempt to est
ablish a.uniform practice on all
Germal exchanges, though it lays
down principles to which all must
conform. 1t is left to the govern
ment of the individual states to
approve the details of the regula.
tions for specuIations upon the ex-
changes in its territory. The
states can charter bourses or that
thew can close them. w. E. Cur.

Chicago, June IA binding agreement
between the shippers and the railroads.
the dream of American commerce, in the

Cured 1t will be submitted for the
ratification Of the railroad and CONNER
cial interests of the country early in
July.
The effect OF the ratification will be to
make the new bill of lading a part of the
Interstate commerce law.
The shippers will have the thing for
which they have clamored for the last
decade-a railroad receipt binding on the
carriers. The negotiations have been thus
far carried on by the railroad representa-
tives and members of the board of di-
rectors OF the Illinois Manufacturers asso-
ciation,. and the American Shippers asso-
citation.
The new bill will hold the initial road
and its connections liable for a shipment
from the time 1t is delivered to the COM
pany until it is delivered to the consignee
and its destination.

TWO WIVES,
TWO CHILDREN
CONFRONT MAN

New York. June 27.--Piaintiff, at
torney and witnesses from widely scat
tered parts OF the country appeared
part 8. special term OF the supreme
court, in the suit brought by Mrs.
Jeanne Remmer Warren against
Franklin Herrick Warren for absolute
divorce.
Mrs. Warren lives in Rochester and
she has mentioned as correspondent a
Miss Gillis of Winthrop. Mass, who in
1903 married the defendant under the
name OF Hager, which he had assumed.
Miss Gillis, or Mrs. Hager. as she is
also known, is said to rather welcome
this litigation, for IL the divorce is
granted she will be able 10 remarry
the defendant.
Some hesitation was expressed on
the part OF some of the persons con-
cerned in having this domestic dispute
adjudicated under the Massachusetts
laws, as the raising of a question with
regard to the status of the correspond
ent might also cause the authorities
TO inquire why prosecution for
bigamy might not be begun against
''Hager." The situation is further COM
plicated by the existence OF two chill
dren born to the second union

salesman for typewriter company. He
went to Boston finally, where, under
the name of Gordon Hager, he married,
in 1903, Miss Ethel Gillis, who lived
in Winthrop. a suburb OF the American
Athens Two children were born to
them.
Lieut.. Harold Winslow, son of Rear
Admiral Winslow OF the United States

who had come from New Bedford,
Mass, identified a letter I'm which War
rem referred to his marriage in Roch-

that the case be tried In the state of
New York, as he thought affairs might
be unnecessarily complicated IL the is
sue had to be determined in Massa-
chusetts. Judge Bischoff took the case
under advisement and in the course
of a few days his decision will be
given.

DAVIS DENIES
he TOOK PART
IN DYAAM| TING

Boise, Idaho June 27-W. f. Davis, the
witness for the defense in the case against
William ID. Haywood, takes the chair
again today and Senator Borah continues
the cross-examination commenced yester-
day.
Orchard commenced his story OF blood
curdling crime with the blowing-up of the
concentrator at WarNdner' by a mob OF
1000 union men. The mill was at that time
being operated by non-union miners. Or
chard told the story Of the trip to Ward
ner when the miners captured a train and
compelled the engineer to run il to Ward
ner. He said Davis was one OF the lead
ers OF the mob
The defence put Davis, big handsome
miner, and an effective witness upon the
stand to contradict Orchard and tell the
Jury that Davis. instead OF being at
Wardner on that day was In fact at the
town OF Gem. In the direct examina-
tion yesterday Davis made an impressive
statement. lie told of his movements on
the day OF the explosion at Wardner.
said that he did not know Orchard, did
not belong TO the union, and was not at
Wardner.
Under Senator Borah's cross examina-
tion the man stuck TO his story that he
was not at Wardner. lie admitted that
he saw tho train go by with some 300 men
on board all wearing masks but said he
did not know any OF the men; that he
took no interest In the fact that the train
was going through under such peculiar
circumstances. He could not give the
names OF any union men on the train
They heard IL stated later, he said, that
the concentrator of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine had been blown up. but
he did not learn until the following day
that any one had been killed. Immedi-
ately afterwards Davis said he fled to the
Hercules mine where he remained in hid
ing and then got out of Idaho changing
his name to Jones.
The cross examination OF Davis will
probably take an hour OF today's session.
lie will be followed by William Esterly,
who was concerned In the strike at Grip
Pile Greek and will testify TO the In
dependence depot and the Vlndicator mine
explosions Esterly will he examined az
length as 20 Orchards statement that
