Tariff adjustment.

The new tariff law enables me TO APP
point tariff board to assist me in con
nectiOn with the department of state In
the administration of the minimum and
ma ximum clause of the act and also TO
assist officers of the government in the
administration Of the entire law. i be-
lieve that the work of this board Will
be OF prime utility and importance
whenever congress shall deem It wise
again to readjust the customs duties.
IL the facts secured by the tariff board
are Of such character as to show gen.
orally that the rates Of duties imposed
by the present tariff law are excessive
under the principles OF protection as
described in the platform o: the sue
cessful party at the late election I
shall not hesitate to invite the atten-
ton Of congress TO this fact and to the
necessity for action predicated there
on. Nothing. however halts business
and interferes with the course OF pros
perlty so much as the threatened revi-
sion Of the tariff. and until the facts
are at hand. after careful and deliber-
ate Investigation. upon which such re-
vision can properly be undertaken, 1t
seems 10 me unwise TO attempt II.

Injunetions Without Notice.

1--WE believe that the rules of proce-
durc in the federal courts with respect
to the issuance of the writ OF injunc.
tion should be more accurately defined
by statute and that no injunction or
temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except where
irrcparable injury would result from
delay, in which case a speedy hearing
thereafter should be granted"
recommend that In compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate leg
islation be adopted. Moreover. every
such injunction or restraining order
issued without previous notice and op-
portunity by the defendant to be heard
should by force of the statute expire
and oe Of no effect after seven days
from the issuance thereof or within
any time less than that period which
the court may iiX unless within such
seven days or such less period the in

ENORMOUS PROFITS OF
ILLICIT DISTILLERS

were apparently willing to be killed
these Institutions with moonshiners.
Then too, saloons became more and
more numerous and there wasn't the
profit in the business that attended it
in the good old days. So the moon
sinners, as rule, passed on to other
and less perlious callings.
Cherish No DeIusions.
The moonshiners of today do not
cherish any delusions about individu-
al liberty. They are not in the bust
ness to vindicate a principle They
merely see in the thing a chance to
turn goodly sum of money at the
risk of temporarily losing their liber-
ty, and they are willing to assume thi
risk for the money there is in it. As
a rule they do not go armed to kill,
as did their forefathers. They rely up.
on their heels rather than upon the
accuracy of their aim when the reven-
lie men put in their appearance. The
peril of the revenue agent is moth
ing like it was a generation ago, and
it is rare indeed, that one is either
killed or wounded.

money in the business and they are out

They know that we will get them soon

able to make big stake before we

"As rule the moonshiners pick out
the most inaccessible places to bt

lookout for the approach of the reven

MADE FATAL MISTAKE.
Used Wash Lye In Biscuits for Bak-
ing Powder.


AS result of eating biscuits into
which she had, by mistake, put lye
instead of baking powder, Mrs
Robert Tarry is dead, and her hus-
band is critically i'll at their home
in Tottenville, Staten Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tarry kept house
for their bachelor son. A few days
ago the son went away for a three
day trip, leaving his mother, whose
age is seventy-nine years, and his
father, aged serenty-eight years, at
home alone.
Neighobrs heard groans and
poundings coming from the Tarry
house and upon entering found the
old couple in agony Doctors were
called in, but their efforts to relieve
Mrs. Tarry were futile as she died
shortly afterward, and little hope
is held out for her husband.
Five unlabelled cans containing
white powder were found in the
kitchen. Four contained baking
powder and one contained caustic
soda and this is what was put into
the biscuits.

ATTRACTS THRONGS
MANY PEOPLE EXPECT TO BE
HELPED BY PRAYING
To q Small Piece of Bone, Said to
Belong to Saint Rita, Long Since

Dead.
A remarkable scene was presented
at the Church of St. Rita, of Cascia,
in One Hundred and Forty-ifth
street, New York, when the struc-
ture was packed by several hundred
persons, while in the street there
were several thousand more unable
to gain admission to the conclu.-
ing services of the Novena, or Nine
Days Devotion.
On the alter of the church there
is a fragment Of bone, duly authen-
ticated as belonging to st. Rita, "ad-
vocate of the hopeless and saint OF
the impossible as her worshippers
call her. TIE annual Novena to the
saint in this church and the rever-
ence Of the relic are credited with
many marvellous cures and perform
ances in answer to supplications.
Many have declared that they have
cured themselves or others of physi-
cal ailments which batlled doctors,
while others have transferred to the
saints answering their prayers con-
cerning business matters and other
things in which they sought sue
cess.
The rector, Father Charles Farina,
read a number of letters from those
who had prayed to St. Rita.
A detroit woman wrote a year
ago she came to New York and pray
ed to St. Rita for civil service
position and soon obtained it.
a boarding school girl wrote that
her Novena to St. Rita had COM
pletely cured her eyes, throat and
nose.
A man, who said his friends
thought he was going insane be-
cause of the pains he suffered in the
head, wrote that st. Rita cured him.
A young girl relates the marvel
Gus cure of her mother after making
the second Novena to St. Rita.
A man wrote that he had been
in business troubles and prayed to
st. Rita for advice. He then sold
one of his grocery stores and pros
pered immensely in the store he re,
tanned, and gave the saint Of the
impossible" full cerdit.
A janitor subscribed his thank:
for the return of bunch Of keys.
Such large crowds Of worshipers
now attend the annual NoVena tt
St. Rita of Cascia, that the rector
is planning to increase the church's
! size.

BAD MESS IN OHIO
NEGRO ATTORNEY ARRESTED ON
MURDER CHARGE.
Mob Wanted to Lynch Him and His
Brother, Who Has White Woman
for Wife.

Hunted all Sunday night and
finally driven to bay by the police
and bloodhounds Monday, John W..
Beam, of Lima, Ohio, negro at
torney and real estate dealer, ac-
cused of murder, attempted to end
his own life. He was arrested on
the charge of numbering Mrs. Estella
NJ. Diltz, a young widow, who was
shot Sunday night at her own home
as she opened the front door in re-
sponse to pounding upon the door.
He is not seriously injured.
While it was first thought that
the motive for the murder had been
found in business relations between
Mrs. Diltz and the negro, search
of Beams papers in his office in
dicated that Beam was in love with
the widow, but whether the crime
was due to his suit being repudiated
or whether there was a quarrel is
unknown.
A letter addressed to his wife in
endearing terms was found, in which
Beam told of his love for Mrs. DiltZ,
which had extended over two years,
and that his call upon her accounted
for his late hours at night" In
concluding, the letter directs: Have
Estella and myself buried side by
side, that we may arise before the
Almightey God together"
Rumors that a mob was forming,
with the intention of lynching Beam,
caused Sheriff Van Gunten to remove
his prisoner from the city hospital
to the county jail Beam was es-
corted to jail under heavy guard.
Beam is now in the strongest cell
in the Jail and strong guard is
maintained about him.
DR.. u. S. Beam, a brother of the
prisoner and wealthy citizen of
Lima, closed his Office and left for
his old home in Kentucky. Colored
people urged him to leave, as it was
feared he might be lynched if he
remained there. Feeling runs high
against him. DR.. Beams wife is a
white woman and this aided in in
furiating the residents against him.

FUGITIVE CASHIER.
Caught by Detective When He Visits

After five months of flight
through Western cities, and into
Mexico, Edward B. Towne, Jr., has
returned to his home in Orange, \.
j., to see his sick son. He was
quickly arrested by detectives, whose
vigilance has never ceased on charges
of embeZzling approximately $780,
600 from the Matheson Lead Com
pany of that city.
Towne, who is only twenty years
old, rose rapidly with his employers,
and was cashier when he disappeared
in December. Following the dis
covery of his alleged shortage, it
was revealed that he had been liv-
ing eXtravagantly, having two motor
cars and maintaining a residence
believed to be beyond his legitimate
means. 1t was believed that he had
considerable money with him when
he disappeared.
Towne quickly moved out of one
city to another in the West and de-
tectives were never able to catch
up with him. But the watch on his
young wife never ceased. In some
manner Towne heard Of the serious
illness of his little son and dashed
up to the house concealed in the
tonneau of an automobile.
Private detectives on guard sum-
moned the police and, when the home
was entered, Towne was found in
an exhausted sleep on an upper
floor, and was dragged away to Jail.

FlREMEN'S POSITION
IN THE STRIKE ON THE GEOR-
GIA RAILROAD.
The Official Statement Of the Causes
Leading Up to the Trouble and

Strike.
There is considerable interest in
the strike of the fremen on the
Georgia Railroad. The firemen
claim that their position has not been
fully set forth. The official circular
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, issued from
the grand lodge headquarters at
Peoria, ILL.,, on the 18th instant, after
giving review, of previous nego-
tiaNons between the fiN:men and
the management of the Georgia rail-
road, says:
cat this time ten of our members
engaged as assistant hostlers at the
rate of S1.75 per day, were displac-
| ed by negroes at the rate of $1.2o
per day. The joint board immedi-
ately took up their matters with the
general superintendent of the COM
pany and were promptly informed
by him that he would not deal with
| them or listen to their grievances
or the propositions which they de-
sired to submit. He also stated that
he had orders from his superior Of
ficers to reduce operating expenses
$1,000 per month, and that he in
tended carrying out such instruc-
tions. He further stated that this
was only the beginning of reductions
and that more would follow.
1.-The matter was then taken up
with the general manager, who re-
fused to do anything except to sus-
tain the general superintendent.
~ cher Bal upon attempting to Sc
cure a conference with the general
manager, was refused.
After bringing every possible in
fluence to bear with hope of reach
ing a peaceable settlement if the mat
ter, and failing in every effort, it be-
came apparent that it was either
necessary to adjust the affair and
protect the interests of our members
through an issue, or permit the COM
pany to displace them and employ
negroes at reduced rate of pay to
fill the positions thus made vacant,
and it was on account of these con-
ditions that our members voted to
strike.
"In further explanation of the sit
uation, l will say that the Georgia
railroad and the Atlanta yard ter
minal are leased and operated by the
Louisville and Nashville and the
Seaboard Air Line Companies. 1t
is believed by the joint protective
board and by the officer directly in
charge of the situation, that this is
only the beginning of an attempt on
the part of the company to dispense
with the services of white firemen
entirely and to fill their places with
negroes"
IL is stated that the Louisville
and Nashville employs only negro
! firemen.

VERY CURIOUS CASE.
PerpleXcS Surgeon Who Works on
Victim of Auto.

Ernest Frye, os New York, whose
right leg was amputated five weeks
ago following an automobile acci-
dent, is the subject of considerable
anxiety among physicians in the
Flower Hospital because of his COM
plant that he suffers intense pain
il. the toes of the foot which was
amputated and which lies buried in
one of the suburbs. Frye declares
that he can distinctly feel severe
cramping pain in these toes, the pain
being so intense at times as to cause
him to shrek. Doctors believe that
the sensation of pain is communi-
Gated to his brain by the nervous
cords which ran to his toes and
which were severed by the amputa-
ton. The contraction Of these in
jured NERVES, they believe, would
give Frye the sensation of pain in
his toes.
