Charles P. Searle Asks Cut in
Duty on Special Grades
PEANUT GROWERS ANXIOUS
They Fear Flood of Foreign Coolers and
Ask for Adequate Protection
in the New Tariff
Bill.

Washington, Dec. ls.-Charles p
Searle of Boston and G. Il. Argetsinger
Of Rochester, N. Y, appeared before the
ways and means COMMITTEES yesterday,
the former to urge a reduction of duty
on high speed steel, and the latter an
increase OF duty on macaroni.
According to Mr.. Searle, the present
tariff OF AZ cents per pound on what
is known as high speed steel from which
are manufactured tools and metal in
struments requiring great tensile
strength, inflicts an injustice on Ameri-
can tool makers lie asked that the
duties on this class of steel be reduced
to 3i4 cents per pound.
Mr. Argetsinger said that despite the
duty of ~ cents per pound ON maca.
roni, the importations Of this foodstoff
have increased nearly PCS per cent. in
five years. He declared that the patri-
otism of Italians, the elargest eaters
Of macaroni in the world, prompted them
70 eat their home product in preference
TO any other. This fact, he added, made
IL plain that the present duty on maca-
roni should be substantially increased.
Charles Ruston, Jr., representing Jas.
Keiser Of New York, appeared to pro-
test against any reduction in the present
tariff on cravats He urged that in the
interest Of American crayat manufactur-
ers, this duty not be disturbed.

LEARNING HOW BANK
SHORTAGE WAS COVERED
Thought Two Sets of Books Were Used
in Somersworth Defalcation.

Somersworth, n. H., Dec ls.--Nation.
al Bank Examiner Norwin S. Bean Of
Manchester, in his capacity as tempo.
rary receiver OF the First National Bank
of this city in the funds Of which he
discovered shortage OF about SIS, GOO
Wednesday, continued his examination
Of the books Of Fred M. Vamey, the
cashier, yesterday. Narney, who was
arrested Wednesday following the dis.
covery, has been hailed out and yester-
day assisted Examiner Bean in going
over the books, pointing out those sec
tions of the accounts that had been
tempered with.
Examiner Bean stated yesterday that
he expected 1t would take at least an
other day to complete his overhauling
of the banks accounts, and until that
time it is impossible for him to say
definitely what sum the shortage will
reach He believes the estimate of
$4,000 will amply cover the deficit, and
has already assured the creditors of
the bank that the assets of the in
stitution are sufficient to meet all de-
mRnds.
President William S. Tebbetts viii not
call meeting Of the stockholders until
the bank examiner has completed his
examination, and the status Of the in.
stitution's affairs are definitely known.
Examiner Bean has not revealed the
method that was adopted in covering
up the defslcations for six years, but
it is understood from other sources that
two sets of books had been used. one
Of which was submitted TO the examiner
on his visits to the bank, and the other
kept privately.

DANGER in HOUSE Def
Friends Of BeIligerents Alive to Neces-
sity Of Holding Public Confidence
"Great Paeificator" to Handle
the Angry cOntepders

Washington, Dec. ls.--Following The
adoption by the House yesterday Of the
Perkins resolution calling upon Presi
dent Roosevelt to submit TO the House
the evidence upon which he based the
statemnt in his recent message that tbs
members OF the House were principally
concerned over the fact that the secret
service had been investigating members
thmselves, official Washington Is whirl.
ing like leaf in a gale.
As the first result, President-elect Taft
was called for from New York early
yesterday The presumption is that he
will be called on to again become "the
great pacifcator," as Secretary Root
once called him. Serious minded men
recognize a grave danger in the present
state Of affairs.
While President Roosevelt is known
to be in fighting mood, and determined
to forward another message to Congress,
in which, it is intimated, he win vigor-
ously justify the language employed by
him, and some OF the hotheads of the
House are urging defiance to the execu-
tive, there is a very strong sentiment
among the leaders OF both houses that
the present situation is charged with
high explosives.
II is urged that the logical result Of
the present situation will be primarily
the creation Of deadlock between the
president and Congress, which would alb
solutely block the enactment of needed
legislation during the remainder of Pres
ident Roosevelt's term, and, secondarily,
that ill-feeling is certain to develop
which viii interfere with the complete
success Of the incoming administration.
In this emergency, 1t is believed that
President elect Taft is the one man who
may save the situation. No man is moro
master in the arts of making peace
than he, and no other man so possesses
President Roosevelt's complete conf
dence.
At the same time, in spite of the slight
friction which has arisen between the
president elect and the leaders Of the
House, they feel the greatest confidence
in his calm, clear-cyed judgment, and
in his habitual desire to avoid strife
where possible.
Whether peace with honor is possible
to either side Is the question that is
now perplexing the leaders Of both
houses. They frankly state their fear
that matters have gone too far to make
an evasion OF the issue possible. 1t is
not that they so greatly fear the revela.
tons President Roosevelt is undoubtedly
prepared to make. II was stated yes
terday, on the best authority, that Pres
ident Roosevelt has mass of evidence
which he is prepared to forward to the
House,, with refernce to the relations
which exist or have existed between GER
tain members Of Congress and some cor
porations.

DUMA ROW MAY PROVE A
TEMPEST in A TEAPOT
Belief That President viii Reconsider
Threat of Resignation.

st. Petersburg, Dec. ls.--Nikolai A.
Khomyakoff, president of the Dlma, has
not yet definitely withdrawn the threat
OF resignation he made at an exciting
session of parliament Wednesday after
noon, but there is every reason TO believe
that the incident will be satisfactorily
settled as soon as the feelings of the
members cool
A deputation which visited the presi-
dent late Wednesday night found him
smarting under the disrespectfuI utter
ances Of several of the deputies. Yes
terday afternoon he did not visit the
Duma, and declined To make any state
ment regarding his intentions; but as
the paper upon which he wrote his resig-
nation has been withdrawn from the
ehancellery of the Duma on his own or
ders, it is believed he has repented the
hasty decision.

OUTLOOK IN INDIA Is
GLOOMY SAYS MORLEY
If Murders Continue a General Panic
May Ensue.

London, Dec. ls.--In discussion in the
House of Lords yesterday on the Indian
reform measures, Viscount Morley, secrc-
tary of state for India, said that the
delay in the presentation of statement
in regard to India had not made the
situation less gloomy.
There is no fear, continued Viscouns
Morley, of anything in the nature OF
general uprising, but if the murders
continue, general panic might ensue
which would greatly increase the dan
ger OF the situation. In substance, said
Lord Morley, the position of the govern
ment in India was sound and as well
founded as ever. In the end the British
government would persevere in its policy
of reform.
Lord Morley then said that the council
of the vieeroy Of India would be in
creased from twenty-four members to
sixty-two and the powers of the vice.
roy of India and the provincial councils
would also be enlarged. Special meas
ures would be taken for the appoint
ing Of executive councils to assist the
lieutenant governors in their work.

WILL RAISE 500 CORDS OF
PINE SUNK so YEARS AGO
American Concern to Profit BY Long
Neglected Mass of Timber.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-Five hundred
cords of sunken pine piling now lying
submerged in the Rideau river and in
the lakes some miles back of Kingston,
Canada, has been bought by an Ameri-
can concern, which VIII raise the tim
Der and take Il by boat down the St.
Lawrence TO 0gdsnsburg, where it will
be made into bleaclied soda pulp. This
pulp is said to be made by a secret
chemical process for use in the manu-
facture Of high grade stationery.
The piling in question was sunk
some eighty years ago, when numbering
operations along the Rideau were be-
ginning and while the canal was being
built. As the lumber in this district
has been generally cut, the wonder is,
says Consul Kan Won't, Writing from
Kingston, that this valuable submerged
timber has not been used before.

ing capacity is only SO a week, she must
take her chances Of getting her support.
This rushing into matrimony may sp.
peal to the president of the United
States, but it doesn't to anyone who
weighs the evidences and act judicially
to determine whether or not such a
thing is reasonable, right or proper.
The Society for the Improvement of the
Conditions of the Poor has recently made
a careful investigation and study into
the cases of misery in most congested
districts and it reports that the most
fruitful case Of misery is tie large
families which poor persons are having.
The present trend of the age is toward

Judge Foster concluded by saying that
the woman must go out and earn her
own living.
