MAY TAX TEA
And COFFEE
Congress is Determined to
Make up DefiCit-BiII
Ready on Monday

WASHINGTON, March 10-Mr.
Payne, who will be chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee OF the
next House OF Representatives, will
have the new tariff bill ready TO intro
duce as soon as the House organizes
next Monday.
The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee are in
almost continuous session working IN
the bill. IL is stated that the bill Is
practically finished, so far as the re-
vision Of the present schedule is con-
cerned, and that the only remaining
task is 10 find new sources Of revenue
20 make up the amounts that It is
estimated win be lost from the reduc-
tion of the present schedules. There
is said TO be some difference fopiniOn
in the committee. Several Of them
favor adopting President Tafts recon-
mendation for a graduated inheritance
tax. Others strongly favor restoring
a duty on tea. as was done during the
Spanish War. and OF adding coffee to
the dutiable list.
The indications at present. however,
are that the House bill win not con-
tain an inheritance tax. but will tax
tea and coffee. The duty on tea dur
ing the Spanish War was 10 cents a
pound and the amount of duty re-
ceived during the year 1903. which was
the last year when this tax was en-
forced. was about sS1O0,OOO. II is not
believed that the duty in the new bill
will be more than five cents, so that
the revenue from tea VIII be between
s4.5OO.OOO and s5.OOO,OO0, for the amount
OF tea imported Is constantly increasing
having been well over 90.0OO,Q0O pounds
during the fiscal year which ended
June 30, 1908. The exact tax on cof-
fee has not yet been fixed. Some of
the advocates of coffee tax favor a
duty as high as five cents, whereas
others urge three cents as sufficient.
During the fiscal year over O0O
pounds of coffee we're imported. so that
the duty would be A1500,000 II the
duty were made five cents, or $2s,500,000
If the duty were made only three
/ cents

Tho New Spring Hat.

The new hats have enormous crowns.
1t is their chief characteristic.
Ribbons play a very important part In
the decoration OF the new models. In the
shape OF twists. streamers, torsades and
especially bows.
Many OF the brims do not pretend to be
even all the way around. One new hat
seen lately IS consplcuousy narrow In tho
front. but toward the back ana on the
left side Il spreads out considerably.
Tulle, pricked with jet cabochons Is one
OF the favored trimmings upon the more
exclusive models.
Among the small hats are turbans OF
silver, with colored aigrettes.
Extraordinary and wonderful straws are
being used. Stripes OF straw loosely con-
nected there are and others which look
as though they had been knitted.
The busby made Of feathers or fur finds
redupicaton in looped satin straw with
trimming around the edge OF flowers,
packed closely together
A striking hat was OF khaki Manila
straw. trimmed with large green apples
set in green leaves. A bunch Of tall green

ly so that he could not have an oppor-
tunity to escape. We had another man un-
der suspicion and had good reasons to be-
lieve that he committed the attack and
all we were anxious about was to get the
right man."
Chief Black said that the executive COM
mittee of the Park Board sent for him
sometime before the SurricIx arrest to con-
fer with them on the disorder in the Bran
dywine Park. IT told them of the many
complaints received at police headquart-
ers," said the chief. "and they appeared
to be Of the opinion that there was much
disorder in the park" The chief said he
recommended at that time that the Park
Board appoint a sergeant of park guards
and have him report at the police sta
tion every morning at z o'clock to hear
the complaints read out to the officers
He recommended this he said, because
much of the disorder in the park was re-
ported to the police department and in
fact most Of the arrests for crimes COM
mitted in the park were made by the city
police
With respect to the allegation made by
the Park Commission that two cronies of
SurricS were subpoenaed as witnesses for
the State when Surrick was tried in the
Upper Court, Chief Black said that he had
nothing to do with # and that one of these
witnesses he did not know at all. He said
he did not have them subpoenaed nor did
he furnish their names.
President cIarkson's Statement.
President Clarkson, of the Board, made
a statement to the effect that he had
made an investigation Of the charge that
Chief Black was in Dover in the interest
of the bill passed by the House providing
that the park guards be placed under the
/ jurisdiction of the police department, and
found allegation to be untrue. He said
that Chief Black had been subpoenaed to
appear in a case in court for two days and
it happened that on one Of these days the
bill was passed. He said he had been told
that several members Of the legislature
had asked Chief Black what he thought
of the bill and the latter replied that he
thought IL was a good one.
This Chief Black did not deny before the
board yesterday afternoon. He said he
had made no effort to have the bill passed
and only expressed his sentiments when
asked, and he said he still believed the
bin was a good one.
The chief concluded his statement by
characterizing the statement made by
Mr.Cummings concerning his actions while
/ in the Cummings house. as an absolute
lie.

TO the Police Commission, already publish
ed in the newspapers, concerning Chief of
Police Black and the Surricls case, was
read at the regular weekly meeting of the
police commissioners yesterday afternoon.

placed on file for further consideration IL
necessary.

alleged attack on a girl in Brandywine
Park and his release a short time later
by order of Chief Black. The communica-
tion also stated that Chief Black found
Miss Cummings, the girl supposed to have
been attacked in bed, and used gruff lam
guage while questioning her concerning
the incident
Chief Blacks Statement.
Chief Black made a statement to the
board in which he said: Il don't see any
thing in the letter which 1 should make
reply to, except the Surrick matter On
the day Surrick was arrested by officer
Ley 1 was on my way home and met the
pair. / ask the officer what the trouble
was. and he related the circumstances of
the attack on the Cummings girl, and that
he had been TO her house with Surrick and
that she could not positively identify him.
1 said bring him back to the house and
give the girl another opportunity to iden-
tfy him.
when I entered the Cummings house
the girl was running around in the din
ing room and was not in bed as the letter
before this board states. l also did not
have a word with her father. He was in
the kitchen and remained there. 1 ask the
girl IL she could identify Surrick in City
Court the next morning II he was ar
raigned for trial. She replied that she was
not positive that she could. ! left the
house with Ley and as the girl had not
identified the prisoner, 1 ordered his re-
lease.
Later Surrick was again arrested but
Assistant City Solicitor Satterthwaite told
me that the girl was not positive in heI
identification and he in open court, asked
Judge Cochran to dismiss the case, which
was done
when Surrick's arrest was ordered

Il suffered so with Nervous

MRS. d. /. JONES,

Much sickness is Of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will seturn
your money.

YOUNG CAnvASsER
CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT

". H. Valley, canvasser en-
ployed by q prominent music
house, was arrested late last night
ct his home, 502 South L street,
BY Detectives Fitzgerald, Milone
and Ashby, and locked up at the
city Jail under the charge Of hav-
ing assaulted a little girl at the
Lower school Wednesday. Val
ley admitted today that he was
the man who was seen at the
Lowell school, and that he had
seen the girl, but strenuously de-
MED the assault charge. The po-
lice are inclined to believe Valleys
stateemnt, but will keep him lock-
ed up until the case Is decided.
The young man was canvassihg
for his music house, he says, and
entered the school ante-room by
mistake. The girl screamed and
he tried to pacify her burt she ran
from the place crying for help.
Valley Is married and has a
child. He was at home with his
family when arrested last night,
and the police say that he offered
no resistance and that he was
merely indignant at the humilia-
ton of being arrested. He will
be given preliminary hearing to-
morrow.
