Union.
The deficit when congress gets ready
to take up the tariff bill will be about
$lOO,OOO,OOO. 1t is apparent from thls
that the question of revision will be
largely one of revenue. If there is TO
be general cut and it is feared that
the increase in importations under the
new schedule will not be great enough
to make up the loss of cash resulting
from the lower tariff, it may seem
necessary to provide revenue in other
ways. Many plans for this revenue
raising have been suggested, among
them being doubling of the tax on beer,
a tariff on coffee and tea, an income
tax, an Inheritance tax, and several
other taxes. No one knows what con-
gress will do, but whatever it does
must be in the face of the seeming
certainty that the expenditures of the
government are to creep upward from
the $1,000 100000 mark.

Chicago, March 1.-The west has
broken all records for travel to the in
auguration of a president this year;
the people have swarmed on to Wash
.ington through Chicago for the week
past, requiring extra coaches on regu-
lar trains, extra train and special
trains, until passenger agents of east
ton to stolid endurance week ago
kilograms from every state in the
west, asking for sleeping car reserva-
tions, have been pouring in for a fort
night.
Several Special Trains.
Several special trains de luxe were
made up in Chicago and it was a
matter of comment in railroad offices
that never has throng attended the
Inauguration of a PRECEDENT of the
United States in such pomp and cir
cumstance, spending money so freely
and seemingly so well satisfied will
prospects under the new president. The
contrast drawn by the Inauguration
crowd of 1909 and that of Washington
in 1889 was in keeping with the salar-
les of the first and the twenty seventh
president, Washington having declined
any salary and Taft being the first tc

1t is not generally remembered that
in addition to his salary of $4,000
President Roosevelt has had $4,000 fol

Rev. Theodore Ledyard Cuyler, d d.,

died at his home in the city of New
York last week i'm the eighty seventh

a writer on religious topics and as a
preacher. He was an early graduate
of Princeton university. He was for
thirty years pastor of the Lafayette
Avenue Presbyterian church in Brook
lyn. After his retiring from this
church he was minister at large
and figured notedly in Presbyterian
literary and religious circles, and I'M
doubtedly held the highest position in
that church of any minister of his
day. He was cousin of General

WORKS THE HOTELS
CLEVER CROOK WHO TRIMS
PROpRIETORS OF HOSTELRIES,
Clerks Also Must Be on Their Guard
Against Grafters; How Schemes
Are Carried Out; Minnesota "Col-
onels" Have Been Caught, So IT'S
Said BY Man Who Lifts Checks.
From MONDAYS Dailv.

From Mondays Daiiv.
Hotelkeepers and clerks must ever
be alert and watchful for the MANY
defrauding schemes which are prac-
tced upon them daily by a class of
men, known to the hotelkeepers as
travelling crooks.
According to recent report issued
by hotel monthly, the hotelkeepers
of Minnesota have suffered more the
past year from the clever schemes
worked by these crooks than for many
years.
One of the newest and most daring
of these tricks was related by a
travelling man last evening at one of
the local hotels. In describing this,
he said: "a well dressed man enters
the hotel, walks slowly up to the
desk and mods pleasantly to the clerk
or proprietor, at the same time makes
a quick glance at the pigeon holes,
where the mail is kept for the travel
ing public.
Makes Ra1d on Mall.
''He then asks the never suspectng
clerk for the largest bunch of mail,
and looking through it, will pick out
the most letters which bear the same
name. He will then hand the balance
of the letters back to the clerk, and
register under the name which is on
the letters he was now holding.
'This done, this clever criminal will
walk leisurely to another part of
the hotel, open the mail and in most
cases, finds a check in one of tie
letters, probably the expense check of
an honest travelling salesman.
Being lucky so far, he will APP
proach the clerk and ask him to cash
short of funds and desires some ready
cash. The obliging clerk, never think
ing anything is wrong. will comply,
and the crook will take the next
train out of town for another city,
to work the same scheme on another
unsuspecting hotel man."
Another Clever Scheme.
Another check scheme which has
been worked by a professional crook
| is to mail several business letters
to prominent hotel addressed to
himself, and in few days arrives
and asks the clerk if there is any
mail for Mr. The clerk, of
course, wishing to be accommodating,
hands over the ma il
The man of smooth manners opens
his mail in the presence of the clerk.
and takes great pains to let the clerk
notice him withdraw check from
one of the letters. He then consults
| his watch and finds that the banks
are closed, which leaves an exasperated
look on his face He tells his trou-
bles to the clerk, explaining that the
banks are closed, and will be obliged
| if he-the clerk-will cash this check
for him. The polite guest will then
Immediately vanish to parts unknown
| There are many other cunning
schemes practiced upon hotel men,
and there should be a law of some
kind passed which will enable "Mine
Host" to bring this class of travelling
crooks to justice.

is composed of northwestern men,
Practically every city in the northwest
