Stands fnr Tariff Revieion.

The Kansas City Times thinks that
a commission of experts TO study the
tariff and recommend schedules is the
only proper way of getting at the sub
ject 1t continues:
The United States will never have
a sound tariff law so long as these
laws are made in the old way-by con
gresional committees composed Of men
who are collectively unfamiliar with
the subject and more or less subject to
political influence in fixing the duties.
Under the old way it was possible for
the oil trust, which has become the
most arrogant and powerful of all
monopolies, to receive protection
ranging from 100 to $50 per cent, al
though all its products were put on the
free list. The protection was made
complete in the exceptions put IN
with the knowledge or because OF the
ignorance of the tariff committee.
Tariff revision in the right way-by an
expert, non-political commission
would not allow such an outrage to be
practiced on the people"

BANK OFFICIAL
IS ARRESTED
PITTSBuRG MAN is ACCUSED OF
EMBEzzLING $4,000 OF
BANKS FUNDS.

William Montgomery, for 20 Years
Cashier of the Allegheny National
and Prominent Politician.
Is the Alleged Defaulter.

Pittsburg, Pa. - William Mont
gomery, cashier of the Allegheny Ma
tional bank for over 20 years, was ar
rested late Thursday on charge of
embezzling $429,O00 of the banks
funds. He w2s arraigned before Uni
ted States Commissioner Lindsay and
held for the federal grand jury under
bond of $4,000, which was fur
nished.
The financial standing of the bank
is in nowise affected by the defaca-
ton, as it is in a position to bear
the loss without embarrassment.
The alleged defalcation was discoy.
cred and the complaint filed by Ma
tional Bank Examiner William L.
Folds. Soon after the close of bank
ing hours the warrant was issued and
the arrest followed.
According to Examiner Folds the
peculations have gone on for several
years and were covered up on the
occasion of each visit of the examin-
ers by means of a cashiers check.
The recent defalcation for more
than $1,000,000 by two employees of
the Farmers Deposit National bank
is said to be indirectly responsible
for the discovery in the Allegheny Ma
tional. Since the exposure of the
peculation in the Farmers, it is said,
most of the banks of the city have
been shifting clerks from one posi-
tion to another for the purpose of dis
covering Irregularities should any ex-
ist. Through such shift suspicion
was aroused in connection with af-
fairs of the Allegheny National.
The Allegheny National is one of
the older and generally regarded as
one of the strongest institutions of
the city. 1t has been more or less as
sociated with the policies of western
Pennsylvania and it's directors room
was the scene of many important po-
litical conferences, particularly dur
ing the life of the late Senator Quay.
Mr.. Montgomery has always been
prominent in politics and was a close
friend of Senator Quay. He was also
prominent socially. News of his ar.
rest came as a shock to his acquain-
tances and caused a sensation.
Examiner Folds expressed the be-
lief, after making the charges, that
Montgomery had used the funds of
the bank to assist friends who were
in tight places financially. Those who
know the cashier feel positive that
he did not personally profit by his
peculations.

ury has a deposit of $532, ,221S1

Treasurer Sheath said last night that

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Financial Conditions Improve and
Failures Are Less in Number.

New York City.-R G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Weather conditions have exercised
much influence this week on retail
trade in seasonable merchandise and
dealings at the leading commodity eX-
changes. Low temperature checked
the demand for light wearing apparel
in a market that was already back
ward, and heavy rains started re-
ports of damage to the crops, yet
there was no evidence of great injury.
Manufacturing conditions show lit
tie change, much machinery being
idle and new business coming for
ward slowly. In some industries
there is still a disposition to wait
for lower prices.
Financial sentiment improves as re-
strictions are removed from CONNER
cial credits and sales of bonds pro-
vide funds for structural work. Fail
ures decrease in number, while lia-
bilities in April were smaller than in
any month since November.

DECLARES He IS SUPREME
ROOSEVELT SAYS HIS AUTHORI-
TY OVER ARMY is ABSOLUTE.
Letters Written by the President to
Three Members of the Senate
Cause d Commotion.

Washington, d. G. - Three mem
received letters from President
Roosevelt within the last few days
declaring his supremacy, as com
mander-in-chief, In all matters refer
ring to the control of the army and
navy. The letters have created in
tense feeling in the senate and it is
not unlikely that they will precipitate
a conference of Republican members.
The letters in every case are in de-
fense of his course in discharging
without honor the negro soldiers he
believed to be guilty of shooting up
the town of Brownsville, Tex, and his
action in banishing Col. William f.
Stewart to an abandoned military
post in desert section of Arizona.
The third letter came to Senator
Stewart of Vermont. A few days ago
during the debate on the Brownsville
case Senator Stewart asked a ques-
ton indicating that he had doubt as
to the wisdom of extending to the
president the power of passing on the
innocence or guilt of exsoldiers ap-
plying Tor reinstatement, in view of
the fact that it appeared the presi-
dent still believes all the negroes to
have been guilty of completely in the
affray
The senator was surprised to re-
ceive from the president on Friday
a letter bearing on both the Col.
Stewart and the Brownsville cases.
Attached to the communication were
letters to Senators Rayner and Will
lam Alden Smith, the one to Mr.. Ray
ner asserting chiefly the presidents
right as commandments to deal
with an officer in such manner as he
pleased while the one to Mr.. Smith
was confined to the Brownsville az
fair and reiterated the presidents be-
lief that he had dealt with the case
as conditions demanded
The president went farther still in
his letter to Senator Stewart, in addi-
ton to repeating much that he said to
the other senators. He declared that
Senator Stewart, from the question
he asked in the debate. appeared to
be proceeding under a misapprehen-
sion of the duties of the president of
the United States in connection with
the army and navy. He quoted the
law as he understood it and denied
that he was under any obligation to
give to the discharged negro soldiers
or to Col. Stewart any court of in
quiry.

Unjust Discrimination.

That suggestion which comes from
Cincinnati is too broad in scope. too
promising in it's potentialities, to be
exhausted in the one case of Prince
Helie de Sagan. To apply the provi-
sions of the immigration laws to
merely one poor little gumdrop Euro
pean of title and not to all of them
would be inVidious discrimination.
There is no doubt that most of these
would-be parties to advantageous in
teTnational matrimonial contracts

the letter of the laws prohibitions.
They are worse off by the millions of
their debts than the status of having
no visible means Of support 1t
shouldn't be necessary to resort to the
eXpedient of deportation after they
have entered the country. They
should be held up when they seek to
enter. No doubt many of them would
have been held up before this had they
crossed in the steeerage instead of the
first cabin.

The Dead MANS Lax.

This country has only begun to ap-
preciate the value of the inheritance
tax. President Roosevelt has urged
it and some of the states have laws
that get small returns from large for
tunes, but they are mere trifles com
pared with what should be got.
During the present year Mrs. Ry-
lands, widow of the great millionaire
merchant of Manchester, died in
England. She left a fortune of s17,-
100000. The English law eXacts es-
tate duties of ten per cent on the
first million of pounds, and Is per cent
on all above that. There are also
legacy duties. So, in this instance we
find the taxes amounting TO So ,250, 600,
which goes into the public treasury.
In the United States we are facing
a deficit in the national finances.
Great Britain has just ended its finan-
cial year with increased revenue of
$7,500000. This phenomenon" we
are told by the London Mail, is main
ly accounted for by an increase of no
less than $4,150,000 in the estate and
death duties and by an increase of no
less than $2535,0 600 in the property
and income tax. That a half a mil
lion sterling more of income tax
should have been collected in the past
quarter than in the corresponding
quarter of last year is doubtless due
to the increased pressure which has
been put upon the income taxpayers" !"
The treasury winds up it's year with
a surplus of $17, ,500,0 900. And the in
crease has come not from new bur
dens upon real estate and business,
but from the nations wealth-from
the great fortunes divided among
heirs and from the owners of fortune
who are well able to pay and who
should be made to pay.
When Jay Gould died he left a for
tune of $70,000,0G0, and yet he had
been paying taxes on less than a nil
lion dollars The public did not bene-
fit from his wealth. Every day large
American fortunes reported to the
courts show that they had lodged
taxes for years and there is na law
to reach them and secure for the pib-
lie the share that it ought to have
The English and French handle
these things better than the Ameri
cans. We should be guided by their
experience.

Brvan Free Trader.

Bryan was a free trader long before
he was free coiner. He came to CON
gress originally on that platform, and
all his early speeches were based on
the theory of tariff for revenue
only.
The Omaha platform declares for alb
solute free trade because it advocates
such reductions as may be necessary
to restore the tariff to a revenue basis.
This is a distasteful plank to large
percentage of Democratic leaders. 1t is
idle to think of a free trade Democrat
making any headway in the manufac-
turing state of New Jersey. Practically
all of the advanced southerners to-day
are protectionists within certain
