force obtained a warrant on Friday last
from the justice Of the peace in Lynbrooh
for the arrest OF Louis Kohenwieler OF the
Arm OF Kohenwieler & Kohenwieler oi
Dover street, manufacturers OF lie saw
ing apparatus, on q charge OF assaui'
In the third degree-they don't cali u
simple assault in Lynbrook. On Saturday
Kiles went to Police Headquarters and
was put In care OF Detectives Dale ano
Allen, who had the warrant indorsed oy
Magistrate Steinert. Then the three went
to Mr.. Kohenwieler's place Of business
but he was not In. Kiles went back to Lyn-
brook and was to return on Monday.
Right here Kiles showed that they don't
do things In kynbrook as they are done
In Manhattan. and also that he had con-
sideration for the troubles Of others. ne
wrotSrMr. Kohenwieler a letter which
ran something like this:
Dear Sir: In regard to the matter for
(which hold a warrant for your arrest j
will call on you on Tuesday at 10 A. M. with
the warrant. II the New York detectives
come TO arrest you before then show them
this letter and they will not arrest you.
Dale and Allen called on Monday. but
to Mr.. Kohenwieler's surprise paid no
atten ton to the letter. He was arrested
and held In $1,000 bail In Jefferson Mar
ket court until the police force OF Lyn-
brook could be notified. Yesterday MORN
Ing Klles vas on hand.
In cases of this kind II is usual to turn
the prisoner over 70 the policeman who
calls for him or to admit the prisoner to
bail for his appearance 10 the place where
the crime took place. Magistrate Barlow
marked the warrant discharged, saying
that 80 far as this county was concerned
Mr.. Kohenwieler was discharged and in
the care Of the Lynbrook police. Then he
called the case back and said he would
aak for bail The bail bond was being pre-
pared when Mr.. Kohenwlelers lawyer
said that as the warrant was marked dis
charged bail could not be taken.
.Kiles, this lawyer tells me that can.
| not take bail aB the warrant Is marked
discharged said the Magistrate. 4He is
| discharged here. Go outside and arrest
him there unless you will let this lawyer
! bluff you
Kiies was told outside the court that he
could not arrest man on warrant that
was marked discharged

he pulled out. his glasses and turned
the Warrant over and over as If 1t exhaled
some judicial power to stiffen his back

without warrant he finally consented
to wait until he obtained another one.
Il don't care how many times travel

Varying Views OF Women at the Gather.
Ing at the Aster.
The Pilgrim Mothers held their four
teenth annual dinner at the Hotel Astor
yesterday afternoon under the auspices

The speeches ranged from the yearnine
for the ballot. the sacrifices Of pilgrim

GIRLS dovetailed to form composite
apotheosis Of woman.
The president. Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake. received round Of applause when
she. said that women constituted the
silent sex.
'Men accuse ue OF talking all the time.
just so we won't notice how much they
ars talking she explained.
Mrs. Blake then created o momentary
depression among the diners by telling
them all the unjust laws under which
they suffered, but concluded with the
cheering statement. which was apparently
news TO every one present. that even under
tho early New England laws. which gave
women practically no rights at all. q man
never could inherit a spinning wheel.
Mrs. Eva Mcdonald Valesh, assistant

TARIFF BILL VNDER EkY.
PUBLIC HEARING rs BROUGHT
TO AN END.

Mere Witnesses to BE Heard In Private
As Usual, the Democrats VIII Have
Nttio 70 Say Until Measure Goes to
Co1greSs-That VIII Ne In March.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Aotual work
on the task Of framing the tariff revision
bill was begun to-day by the Republican
members Of the Committee on Ways and
Means. The measure will not be COM
pleted until early In March,
Although pub.io hearings on the bill
were closed to-day the committee has
not finished its inquiry into conditions
In the various industries affected by the
tariff. While the committee does not
contemplate holding any further public
hearings. witnesses will be summoned
II OCCASION requires. especially In the csc
OF the iron and steel schedules. upon which
Republican members want more light
as result of the interesting testimony
submitted yesterday by Andrew Car
negie.
The Republican members Of the com-
mittee intend to follow precedent by
framing n bill without consulting the
Democratic members. When the measure
Is completed the Democrats will be in
vited to formal meeting OF the COM
mittee. when the bill will be ordered
reported TO the House. For the present
the Democrats have played their part In
the prellminaries looking to the revision
Of the tariff. They have attended the
public hearings and had the privilege
Of examining Witnesses. They will have
little further to do until the measure
comes up for debate in the House.
At the conclusion Of the hearing to-day
Chairman Payne thanked his colleagues
for their faithful attendance at the ses-
sions OF the committee. Representative
Cochran, the senior Democratic member
present. returned the compliment by
thanking Mr.. Payne for his patience and
courtesy.
The hearings just closed covered
testimony occupies six large volumes
and thousands Of printed pages. Repre-
sentatiyes Of nearly every industry af-
fected by the tariff have been heard and
members Of the committee declare that
the investigation, past and prospective
will prove to be one Of the most oompre.

Clark has just. completed an inquiry into
the woollen industry in Europe. He pre-

: are embodied In laws and left for expert
ment to demonstrate their folly. Often
times the only relief from legislative over
zeal Is to repeal II, but meantime the com
munlty must pay the penalty. and enerally
that part OF the community which has been
revied by the balance for preferring In
! telligenoe to haste.
In the State OF New York laws upon sub"
tects that are world wide In their eject
have been framed with small deliberation
and experience. This fact does not stay
the legislative mind, but imperfectlons are
enacted and left to be demonstrated by
wide disaster to the business dealt with.
The national field affords examples no less
| conspicuous. For years the country has
been ablaze with fervor TO enforce law
which now In sheer exhaustion and return
! ing sense IL confesses should never have
been passed at all. And the amazing state
ment Ia now made that the best way to deal
with one of the crimes numed In the Sher-
man act Is 10 patDtlfat particular crime on
the free list.
Tariff revision is the latest cure all. but
II 1t can transform what was crime against
the public Yesterday into public biessin
to-day. IL has virtues which even its warm
est advocates have never mentioned.
Whatever in actually wrong continues so
no matter what you call IL. On the other
hand. IL what is fair and necessary is de-
clared by law to be a criminal act. the real
offence Is done. not by those engaged in
A., the business. but by the Legislature that
so describes it..
The statutes refer TO are examples OF
that impulsive legislation that is always
harmful. And IL must be remembered
that these laws were passed in response to
what seemed an overwhelming popular
demand. They have resulted from the
weak submission by public officials to IA
emphasize my belief that while the popular
will must and should control. it is the high
est duty of every citizen. and especially OF
every public servant. to direct nd pers,iade
that popular will toward intelligent and
conservative exptession.
