GERMAN TARIFF
CRISIS SETTLED
Germany Admits Products
She Must Have at
Low Rates.

The details Of the tariff arrangement
effected between the United States and
Germany, as a result Of the conferences
OF the North commission with the Ger
man tarin experts, have at last been
made public.
After this pact was drawn into its
final form and agreed upon by the com
missioners OF the two nations II was still
subject 10 the APPROVAL Of the President
OF the United States and 20 the accept
ance Of a committee of the German ad-
ministration before IT could be made
finally effective. Pending such final aP-
prevail, its terms were kept carefully
confidential. The last preliminaries hav-
ing now been complied with, the agree
ment has been made public in both coun-
tries.
Speaking broadly. II may be said that
Germany IS given concessions under sec
ton of the Dingley act in return fol
concessions which Germany makes 10
the United States in the matter OF duties
10 be levied by each country against
products Of the other. In addition 20
this the United States makes important
concessions to Germany in the matter OF
administration of our customs lows.
The agreement tides over the crisis
with Germany for the time being, though
either side may terminate 1t on six
months notice. Under it's terms Ger
many admits at the minimum rates OF
her conventional tariff, grains. fruits
timber, meats, except bacon; petroleum
and it's products; leather and shoes. GER

stones, glass, railroad iron, not Including
rails: steam and gas engines, phono-
graphs, vehicles. small arms. watches
and their parts; music boxes, and
organs.
On the other hand, machinery in gen
eral and typewriters are subjected Il

Germans appear to have made conces

STRIKE NOT ORDERED
ON SENATE BUILDING

officers Of the Bricklayers' Union in
this city say there is no likelihood Of
any strike being called on the office
building of the Senate because of the
lockout OF the bricklayers in Phnadel-
phia. The press dispatches from Phila-
delphia say that on Thursday the mas
ter bricklayers of that city ordered a
lockout and that as a result 2.400 brick
layers are idle. The officers of the In
ternauonal Bricklayers' Union were
called in and the report was given cur
renCy that the union would retaliate by
calling out the men on jobs in other
cities controlled by the master brick
layers OF Philadelphia. IL was this that
gave color TO the strike story on the new
Office building OF the Senate No in

FRIENDS Think Loving Justified.
Since the publication Of this letter and
the accompanying statement, many
friends of Judge Loving have been
heard to express the opinion that Judge
Loving will be able to convince the
jury which sits in the case that under
the 'unwritten law he was justified in
shooting young Estes down as he did in
the freight car at Oak Ridge during the
afternoon of April %.
A well-informcd attorney Of law of
TINS city, who is well known through
Cut me State and who is a mutual
friend OF both the Loving and Estes
families, declared that when the trag-
edy and the causes leading up 10 Il are
aired IN the courts that one of the most
sensational trials In the annals Of the
courts or Virginia will be on.
'Ihere seems to be no doubt hut
friends OF the dead man will seek TO

Loving were not improper and that all

who broke in a door in the rear which
opened into the kitchen. Nothing OF an
intoxicating nature was found. This res
taurant has been open but a part of the
time for the last two weeks. Mr.. Stack
pole stated to the writer that there were
tracks from the front entrance which led
him to believe that some person had been
IN the place since it began showing that
morning. The proprietor stated that so
far as he was able to see nothing had
been disturbed about the place with the,
exception that the lock on the back door.
through which the deputies gained an
entrance, was broken In order to lock
this door ne had it proper with plank
He also stated that for the last three
days before tine raid the restaurant had
been watched by spoilers in the emplov
of the deputies. 1t seems that two men
entered the place, went out into the kitch-
en- and took drink from bottle which
they brought in with them. This. Mr.
Pomlow thinks. may have caused the
deputies to pay him a visit. The affair
created quite stir on the street and
all Kinds of rumors as to the amount of
liquor seized We're current, but as T.
matter of fact, nothing was found. Mr.
Stackpole was reticent in regard to the
matter and said that he did not care to
say as to whether he saw any signs
about the place which would lead him to
infer that liquor had been or was being
sold on the premises
