BALTIMORE TAKES
JIMMY CATIZ BACK

Manager Jack Dunn and President Ed
ward Hanlon had a private conference
at the Imperial Hotel in New York yes
terday after which both stated that there
was nothing done to interest the Dalti-
more rooters, except that Pfyl adsbeen
recalled from Altoona, and Jimmy Catez
from Wilmington. This was done TO pro-
tect the Baltimore clubs interest in the
two players. 1t is probable that Pfyl
will play first in the opening game at
Rochester. as Pete Cassidy is still on the

White fl is pretty well understood that congress will do nothing more during the short two months re- of this session than pass the appropria ion bills and that the tar if question will he pn off until the special session for it's consideration is convened. if is nevertheless a fact that this question is so important that other quest ions are minified in comparison During he recent tar if discussion before the ways and means committee. inc president of he Harvester trust 'cstified that so far as he was concerned. all duties on agriculture implements might be removed. This trust. if appears. pro- duces more than half the total sup ply of agricultural implements made in the United States and has also a large export trade. It has no need of protection and notwithstanding the high prices paid to its employees. it can make and sell cheaper than any of it's competitors, here or abroad. The president of the trust advises a duty of % per cent on inn
 ports from any country which did not give the United States the lowest tar if accorded to other countries. It is a curious fact that this great trust.

 It seems evident that while the old original holdings of Yale college ln New Haven are and must be exempt from taxation it is impossible that the university should go on posses sing itself of valuable and produc- tive property in and about the city and expect to hold it free.

Before the CIVIL war tue ldl III eS tenn had been devised to "aise rev enue principally, the protection of domestic industries from foreign competition being only secondary issue. Place a temporary tax on foreign goods" had been the plea of the manufacturers, simply to Tna- ble us to get our factories up and business going. Once we are on our feet you may take away the tariff. We will then be able to face the world on even terms. So the acts of 1924, 1928 and 1882 were passed to give American concerns a chance 10 get on their feet. When the civil war broke out tariff was relied on solely to raise revenue. The govern ment's expenses ran up to S3, 100000 a day, and it was found eXpedient to tax everything and everybody. Con- ditions so far as taxation was con- cerned were very similar to those Of the days of tax-ridden England after the Napoleonic wars, when there were taxes upon every article which enters the mouth, or covers the back, or is placed under the foot, taxes up- on everything which it is pleasant tG see, hear, feel, smell, or taste; taxes upon warmth, light and locomotlon; taxes on everything that comes from abroad, or is grown at home" Be cause of the taxes levied during the war the manufactures of our country were in real danger of being ex' terminated. To save them from disaster congress placed high tariff on imported monopoly of the home market. There protective tariffs were considered by everyone, includ- ing the manufacturers, to be merely temporary. Tariff was understood to be purely wartime egislation--an unusual measure 10 meet an unusual emergency. Immediately at the close of the war tax after tax was repealed, the governments heavy expenses having diminished and the wartime tax not being necessary. Logically, the tariffs that had been arranged to enable the manufacturers to stand these taxes, should have been also lifted But the manufacturers ob- 1 jected. By this time they had be- come very powerful, From poor. struggling concerns at the outset of the war, they had accumulated great
 wealth. It was under the high pro- 1 lection tariffs of the war times the oil trust, the sugar trust and other monopOlies that are still in existence

The idea of the navigation of the great lakes by ocean going vessels has always been most attractive one and for over century it has found many enthusiastic advocates both in Canada and in the United States, says a writer in the Engi neering Magazine It was the basis of Colonel Philpott's report in 1S40, the raison d'etre of the international deep waterways commission of 1896 and the underlying principle of the early designs for the Georgian bay canal. In more recent proposals, however, it has been recognized that the conditions of navigation upon the ocean are so different from those which obtain on the great lakes that the same type of vessel cannot be economically used in both services The purpose of the Georgian bay ship canal as now projected is to bring the lake carrier to point where she can transship directly into the ocean liner. As a result of steady asita- tion d complete survey for such a project was authorized by the Cana dian government in 1904 and an in terim report on the survey was laid before the houses of parliament in July of last year. It is probable that the final report giving in detail all results of the surveys will be ready for presentation during the coming session of parliament.

Brattleboro, Feb. 3.-Deputy Sheriff
Chauncey |. Knapp arrested John Al

of receiving legacy of 5000 intended
for John Allen of Ludlow. He confess
ed to the officer that he received the
money and said further that he had
expected at the time that somebody
would raise rumpus' when the fact
was discovered. Allen will be given
a hearing before Justice Arthur p.

ed bail at late hour tonight.
Phoebe n. Allen of .Orono, Me-. died
a year ago, leaving several requests
to relatives among whom were Mrs.
Mary o. Mussey OF Jamaica, VT, and
John Allen of Brattleboro. John AL
len, one OF the legatees, lived in Brat
tleboro for 20 years but moved to
south Londonderry six years ago and
thence 10 Ludlow. He visited his sis.
ter, Mrs. Mussey, at Jamaica early In
the winter and learned from her that
she had received bequest and that
he was also beneficiary.
Allen Immediately wrote to the exc.
cutor John H. Hopkins of Bangor, Me.
who informed him that check for
$500 had been sent to him at Brattle-
ooro, his former address, had been en-
dorsed and cashed and that the receipt
signed by John Allen. had been re-
turned to the executor.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the check had been presented at one
of the Brattleboro banks by John AL
len, proprietor of lunch room here,
$40 being paid in cash and the balance
being credited on the mans bank book
May 4, 1907, the account subsequently
being withdrawn.
