MEETS NEW BOARD
TARIFF DISCUSSED.
President Has First Confer
ence 7cith Members.
From The Tribune Rureau. ]

Washington, Nov. 1I.--President Taft to-
day met for the FIRST time the Tariff Board.
which he appointed before he started on his
Western trip. All three members-Pro-
fessor II. c. Emery OF Yale; James b.
Reynolds. of Boston. and Alvin FL San
ders. OF Chicsso-were present They had
long and thoroughly satisfactory talk
with the President. They gave Mr.. Taft
a general outline Of their investigations up
TO date, and told him that before March
81 they would be able to lay before him
accurate data respecting determinations
by foreign countries against the products
Of the United States.
Those who have talked with the Presi-
dent on the tariff are fully aware OF his
deep interest in the work of the Tariff
Board. He believes that In Messrs. Emery.
Reynolds ana Sanders he has three ex
ceptionally capable and industrious men.
who Will so TO the bottom of the tariff
question. and whose report viii be ac-
cepted by the country as an impartial find
ing Of facts In the next four and a half
months the board viii give it's undivided
attention TO an investigation OF trade dis
examinations by foreign countries in order
that the President may be able properly
to apply the maximum and minimum sec
tiOt4 VI lit law
II is no secret that Mr.. Taft is convinced
that the language OF the law under which
the Tariff Board was created is broad
enough TO authorize that board 20 make
an examinati ton into practically every phase
or the tariff question. Secretary MacVeagh.
Attorney Ger eral Wickersham and ether
advisers of the President hold the same
view. 1t is taken for granted. therefore.
that after March 81 the board will be di-
rected TO extend it's Investigations abroad
and In this country so as to cover the en-
tire teld Of tariff inquiry. II was perfect
ly we'll understood here last winter that
the President was in favor OF tariff COM
mission, and he frankly explained TO the
trainers of the Payne law his views on this
subject. While the language Of the Payne
act was not so clear and explicit on this
point as the President desired, he felt salts
ned, after a conference with Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham. that the maximum and
minimum section gave him ample power 10
get at facts about the tariff. including cost
of production here and abroad.
tt is probable that the President viii urge
Congress to make such additional aprro-
priations as may be necessary TO enable
the Tariff Board 10 take up the work
which he regards as within the scope OF

pointments. The first concerned Repre-
sentative MOrehead. of North Carolina. who
was bitterly disappointed that another

a supervisor I'm the North Carolina district
declaring that his was the only Republican
selection ignored. II pointed out by
the Postmaster General who was accom-
panied by Director Durand of the Census,
that the appointment was made I'm the alb.
sence Of MIR. Hitchcock. and that there
had been some mistake made. TO appease
Mr. MOrehead. who threatened 90 resign

and after a brief stay at her hotel started

To-days sessions, which began az 9.SO

To-days sessions. as the previous ones,
were held in the executive apartments OF

THANK MRS. EDDY.
First Church Members Pleased
at Intervention.

Members OF the First Church Of Christ.
Scientist, I'm West 9Sth street, at their
weekly meeting last night adopted reso-
luton acknowledging their gratitude TO
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy for her Intervention
I'm the Church dissensiOn, which reached its
climax on Monday.
Her words of advice. says the resolution,
were so potent that they not only settled
the question at issue. which related TO the
retention OF Virgil o. Strickler at his post
as first reader. bur they also healed all
feeling of dissension in the Church. A copy
of the resolution will be forwarded 70 Mrs.
Eddy.
The ten members of the congregation who
on November sent a request to the board
of trustees for the resignation of that
entire body. the resignation OF Mrs. Stet-
son and the cessation of the annual pay
ment of SEQ 10 her as rector emeritus
sent another letter to the trustees last
night. in which they requested that mas
much as the trustees had publicly declared
their intention Of following the advice con-
tanned IN Mrs. Eddys letter. the proposed
meeting Of November g. called 70 act upon
the demands in their previous letter, be
called off.
In spite of these signs of an approaching
peace. many members Of the First Church
said yesterday that such peace could obtain
only il the board Of directors N Boston ab-
solutely and finally severed Mrs. Stetson
further connection with the local church.
As one member expressed the general idea:
Mrs. Stetson has been too long a power
ful leader for her ever 10 be content as
member without power and influence
Friends OF Mrs Stetscn, however. were
hopeful yesterday that their former leader
would return from Boston restored 20 mem
bership in good standing, il not 70 her pO-
sitiOn teacher basing their hope on the
ground that 20 follow the advice rendered
BY Mrs. Eddy on Monday TO the New York
trustees the Boston authorities would have
TO let the dead past take care OF itself and
wipe the slate clean for the expected new
era of harmony.
From some Of the sixteen practitioners
whose cards We're removed from The Chris
tian Science Journal when Mrs. Stetson
was suspended IL was learned yesterday
that they also hoped for reinstatement.
They we're busy yesterday collecting evil
denCe OF their work in healing. presumably

gument for their reinstatement.
