ALL SIDES ARE HEARD
James Y, McClcary Says Republican Policy Is Right--Eugcne \. toss States stand of Those Who
 Favor Reciprocity.

At the post prandial exercises of the first winter meeting of the Economic club of New Haven held last evening, at the Tontine hotel The Tariff in its Relations to New England Manu- facturers" was thoroughly discussed and the speakers, all of whom were experts on the subject spoke not of the tariff in It's relations to New Eng land alone, but on the tariff in its re- lation to the country as a whole. The subject was taken up from both its practical and theoretical standpolnts.
 Congressman James T Mcclcary of Minnesota, defended the present pol- ley of the republican party; Eugene x. Foss. the we'll known Massachusetts manufacturer, took up the problem of reciprocity and Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, spoke on free trade. The discussion was thoroughly enjoyable and no better mon to bring forward the different phases of the question could have been procured
 Attorney Talcott II. Russell prcsi- dent of the club, acted as toastmastcr. He said.
 The man who attempts to conduct ! his business without keeping a weather ave on what Is being done in ! Washington and Hartford is liable to get into trouble. The tariff is an old subject. but is constantly turning up and in the coming few months If is 1 promised that some action will hc ta- ken by tho national houses. lt is especially fitting we should take tho matter up at this time.
 He then introduced as the first speaker Congressman James Y. Me. Cleary of Minnesota

WAS GUARDED BY NINE DOGS

CAVE AS FORTRESS.

York Village After the Country
Had Been Searched for Him.
A New York dispatch to the Bal
timore Sun says: Charged with
stealing $4,000 from his employer
and from a bank by forgeries Daniel
R. Delaney of Brooklyn is under ar
rest in Mountaindale, Sullivan coun-
ty. He was confidential clerk for
Henry E. Coe, lawyer. November
10 last Delaney failed to appear at
Mr.. Goes office. On the following
dav Mr.. Coe received from his bank
a check for $4,000 which had been
forged. An examination of the law
ver's books is said to have shown
that they had been falsified to the
extent of $4,000.
Detectives effected Delaney's ar
rest after a remarkable chase which
finally led to lonely cave at the sum-
NIT of a mountain near Mountain
dale. Delaney had been living in
the cave for three weeks guarded by
two bIoodhounds, seven other dogs
and a small armament of guns and
ammunition.
His cave commanded a view for a
mile each way of the road which was
the only approach to his mountain
fortress. A large field glass insured
him against unexpected approach IN
the dav, and the dogs stood guard at
might. Delaney lived quietly in his
cave. cooked his own meals and made
weekly trips to the village.
Search was made all over the Unit
cd States for Delaney, and finally
trace of him was found near Mount
aindale. Disguised as farmers two
detectives travelled into the mountain
village, where, learning that bear
tracks had been seen in the vicinity
they told the curious that they were
trying to find the bear.
In this way suspicion was thrown
off. and the detectives succeeded IN
inducing John Doyle, farmer, VINO

sufficient if the canine and feline pets
received a daily bath, and after their
hair was combed and brushed were
robed with embroidery and silk bows.
Now no dog is considered by certain
people to be properly equipped to en-

his bath and his robe, his nails have
been manicured by a specialist, his
teeth washed and polished by anoth-
