The conditions Of this country dur

revenue receipts, were more than suf-

The depression brought upon the
country cannot be laid TO those in
equalitles nor to any other fault of
the existing tariff
1t seems, then, that this tariff dis

sole preventative of general prosper

and all the wisdom, energy and abil-
ity OF our lawmakers could nave been
profitably employed in tire work OF
restoring the business conditions OF
the ten years proceeding 1908.
Those conditions gave the needed
income even with existing tariff.
The same conditions prevailing to-
day would produce equal revenues and
obviate the necessity Of the financial,
commercial and industrial distrurban-
ces caused inevitably by any tariff
revision.
If this revision had not been press

Is recovering its healthy and vigor-

probable the Treasury receipts would
now have been sufficient to cover
the current expenditures.
"Tinkering with the tariff" was

GIVE LIVING SKIN
TO AID COMRADf
Friends of Scalded Fireman Vol
unteer for the knife to
Save His Life

SAN RAFAEL. April 26.-The Wolf
graft. one of the rarest of all skin
grating operations, was performed at
the cottage hospital three days ago, when
Walter Holland, sailor in the United
States navy stationed at California City.
allowed the surgeons to take two long
strips of living skin from his legs to
plaster over the bare flesh of Fireman
Phil Reddman. who was scalded in the
Novato wreck last July. Drs. Jones,
Wichman and Kuser of San Rafael per-
formed the operations.
More than $50 men have been sepa-
rated from portions of their cuticles to
assist in covering the wreck victims
most cases, excepting on his legs. There
the skin had sloughed off and the flesh
was scared by the steam, and the shall
low cuticle CRAFTS did not have vitality
to exist. AS result it was decided to
use the Wolf graft.
This operation consists of stripping a
length of skin from the body, the in
cision being made to include the cuticle
and true skin and extending to reach
the muscles. Holland volunteered to
supply the Skin and three days ago he
WAS piaceu uhue al ahesthetic anu Two
strips of skin, IA inches long and an
inch wide, were removed and trans
planted to Reddman's legs.
The operation thus far appears to be
a success. The two big gratis look
healthy and both Reddman and Holland
show no i'll effects Within a short time
three more volunteers, two of whom are
women, will submit to an operation to
assist Reddman to recover from his
terrible experience. In all three cases
the Wolf graft will be employed.

PROF. MOSES TELLS
Of TRIP AS ENVOY
Says Pan-American Conference
Did Much to Promote
Peaceful Relations

BERKELEY, April 26.-That the
Pan-American congresses were pro-
ductive of much good in establishing
peaceful relations between the peo-
pies of South America and the people
of the United States was the statement
made today by Prof. Barnard Moses.
head of the department of political
science of the university, who has re-
turned after an absence of more than
a year.
Professor Moses surprised the faculty
by coming home at this time and there
was considerable speculation as to
why he returned sooner than August,
when he was scheduled.
Il had several matters of business
l wanted to attend to- he said this
afternoon; but he did not specify
whether the business was connected
with the university or not. Speaking
of the results of the first annual meet
ing of the Pan-American congress held
in Santiago, Chile, last December and
January, he said
BRINGS MEN FACE TO FACE
The congress to which 1 was ap
pointed as a general delegate from the
federal government and also as a rep

fornia was of greatest value in that
it brought the leading men of the va
rious counties together and they could
each see how men of other countries
reasoned on the problems before the
congress.
Then again it increased the gem
eral spirit of friendliness among the
members and allayed their suspicious
of the true intentions of the United
Stat Uidanad tha m a ion of
social and economic knowledge of the
peoples of South America and showed
us wherein we could enter into COM
mercial relations with them.
IGNORANCE CLEARED UP
Ignorance and misunderstanding
were cleared up. and as a result of
the general congress of America we
are on a better and more stable foot
ing for the consummation of the best
relations with the nations of the
SOUTH"
Professor Moses was in Paris with
his family, where he had gone for
study at the end of last semester, when
| he received news of his appointment
from Secretary of State Root as dele
| gate to the congress.
| Leaving his family in the French
capital he hastened to Buenos Aires
Argentine republic. and after some
months study travelled over the Andes
to Santiago, Chile, to attend the con-
vention. After its sessions he spent
several months in study of the politi-
cal institutions of the South American
republicans, of which he is an author
ity, and then journeyed overland to
BuenOs Aires, later sailing for France.
Professor Moses, who was formerly
secretary of the Philippine commits
sion, said that he would not teach at
the university summer session this
year, but will do some writing on a
book which he will shortly publish
dealing with South America
