Germany is
After Tariff
Concessions

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-There
are indications thai Germany will be
among the first European countries
to seek advantage of an arrangement
with America to secure minimum
tariff rates under the terms of the
new tariff act which is expected to
be passed at the special session of
congress, to follow close upon the adj
journment of the present regular
session March 4 next.
Count Won Bernsdorff, the newly
arrived German ambassador, who ar
ranged with Secretary Root for his
presentation next Wednesday to
President Roosevelt as ambassador,
succeeding the late Baron Speck Won
Sternburg, is believed to have been
thoroughly equipped by consultation
with the German foreign office and
customs officials before his departure
| from Germany, to undertake this
task. Indications are that the new
tariff act will be framed to take ef-
feet Immediately upon Its approval
by the president.
Therefore, In order to secure what
ever advantages may be expected to
follow the application of minimum
and maximum rates on exports to the
United States. 1t viii be necessary for
the foreign ambassadors and minis
ters resident In Washington to have
arranged in advance of that date
new treaty relations with this gov
ernment. In the case of some Euro
pean countries disposition has been
shown to forestall action. by the
American congress and guard their
own export trade with America by
considerably increasing their existing
tariff rates. with the design OF se-
curing the basis of new arrangements
with America without sacrificing TO
any considerable extent the protec-
tion which they now enjoy against
composition with American exports.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 30---Attorneys
for the prosecution in the alleged
corrupt practices of Pittsburg coun-
cilmen and two former bankers un.
der arrest declare the trials will be
urged to a speedy conclusion. Dis
trict Attorney Blakeley today said he
would try to have the cases disposed
of before the municipal election in
February, at which the councilmen
arrested are candidates for re-elec-
tion. Attorneys for the defendants
say that they will be ready to meet
the charges at any time.
In connection with the alleged
bribing OF councilme nby bankers to
secure deposits of city funds, 1t is
said the plan followed was to have
the banks New York correspondents
forward the amount Of the alleged
corruption fund to another Pitts
burg bank to the credit OF the coun-
cilmen negotiating the bribery deal,
he to make distribution to the other
councilmen. Some of the most wary
councilmen operated through safety
deposit boxes. but other wrote checks
against the fund. II is said number
OF these checks will be presented as
evidence. This feature. It Is said,
has been receiving the attention OF

OF irregularities by national bankers
