the free lunch counters. They were taken

himself

upon which duties have been raised,
and also the articles upon which
duties have been lowered by the bill
as finally reported from the confer
ence committee. This had been done
because comparisons have been made
based upon the amount of importa-
tions, he said.
Duties" he continued, "hace
been lowered where they were too
high under the present law, some
times prohibitive in character, and
for that reason the importations were
comparatively small. On the other
hand, they have been raised in some
instances where the tariff was insult
fcient for protection and the impor-
tations were verv great"

PRINCESS HAS SMALL WATCH.

PRINCESS HAS SMALL WATCH.
Princess Cantacuzene of st. Peters
burg, who was Miss Julia Dent Grant
of this city, has come into posses
sion of the smallest watch in the
world. 1t was made for the last En-
press of Brazil on her direct order to
w. Gogelin, one of the most fam
Gus Of all Geneva watchmakers. Goge-
lin spent three years at the tash, and
permanently weakened his eyes strain
ing to fit the watch together. He re-
ceived S25,OOO, which he held to be
small price. The watch is exactly
one-flfth OF an inch in diameter and
is set in circle of small diamonds
in a gold ring. It is wound with an
old-fashioned key and keeps excellent
time. The Princess is said to have
bought the watch for less than its
original value, although several Eu-
ropean museums were in the market
for it.-New York Press.

Trusted Official Of Anderson Textile
Concern Charged With Breach OF
Trust and Misappropriation Of $780,
900 of the Mills. Money-Books
Found in a Chaotic Condition.
Anderson, S. c., Special.-Secre-
tary and Assistant Cashier Calhoun
Harris. of the Or Cotton Mills. was
arrested Tuesday morning on war
rant secured by President ]. D. Ham
NETT charging breach of trust, it be-
ing alleged that he Incorporated
$4,000, or more of the company
funds.
Tuesday night he was quartede un-
der guard in a room at Chiquola Hotel
and refused to give out any statement
otherwise than that he has not mis-
appropriated one dollar Of the com
pany's and that everything will be
found all right when the expert ac-
countants get through with auditing
the books. He admits that his books
are tangled up and that they have
been so for some time. He also adj
mits that he has made false entries
to force balances at different times.
The first intimation Of a shortage
came on Tuesday of last week. About
two weeks ago two accountants Of
the American Audit Company came
to Anderson to audit the books of the
mills as is customary about once 3
year. After working for few days
the experts found one or two items
which did not appear correct. On
further examination it appeared that
Mr. Harris was short in his accounts
$4,000. When his attention was call
ed to it he said the showing was cor
rect but claimed that it was due to
clerical errors. He also said hat the
errors had existed for several years;
that he had made repeated efforts to
find the mistakes but lad been un-
able to do so. President Hammett,
and the directors questioned Mr.. Har-
ris closely and were disposed to be-
ieve him when he insisted that the
shortage was due to clerical errors.
As the investigation proceeded, how
ever, many false entries were found
and many things appeared which did
not tend to help Mr.. Harris from sus-
picion,

THENENI TARIFEBI[[
Senate Amends letlts Praeti-
caliy Stand.
THE HOUSE ADOPTS REPORT
Rates Compared With Paine Bill
and Also With Dingley Rates
Raised Where Protection Was In
sufficient and Lowered Where Pro-
hibitive. b:


Washington, Spesial Practically
all the administering features of the
tariff bill which were adopted in the
Senate were accepted by the con-
ferees. They include e new maxi
mum and minimum feature, a corpor-
alton tax law, instead dsof the inheri-
tance tax adopted by the House, au-
thorization for borId issue to raise
money to build TIA Panama Canal,
and numerous other matters.
Maximum and Minimum.
The maximum and. minimum pro-
vision prescribes duties In accordance
with the rates named ii the dutiable
list until March 81, 1910, when 25
per cent. ad valorem is to be added
automatically, as the maximum duty.
The President is authorized to apply
the minimum rates, However, to i'm
ports from a country which gives its
best rates to the products of the
United States, and issmade the judge
as to whether a foreign country ac-
cords TO the United States treatment
which is reciprocal and equivalent.
When he finds that this condition
exists he is to issue a proclamation
putting in effect the minimum rates,
and until the time Of th exclamation
the maximum rates Will apply.
Abrogation Of Treaties.
The President is empowered to ab-
rogate those reciprocity treaties
which can be terminated by diplo-
matte action. 1t is made his duty to
give ten days notice after the bin
becomes a law of his intention to
bring those treaties TO an end.
Trade With Philippines.
The Philippine free trade provis-
ion, which was considerably elabo-
rated by the Senate, provides for the
free importation Of all articles 'fthe
growth or product Of or manufac-
tured in the Philippine Islands from
material the growth or product Of
the Philippine Islands or the United
States, or both, or which do not con-
tain foreign materials to the value
of more than 20 per cent. Of their
total value." Rice is the only excep-
tion to the free provisions, but re-
strictions are placed upon sugar and
tobacco. The free importation of
sugar is limited to 100000 tons a
year. On wrapper and filler tobacco
when mixed, the annual Limitation
is 100000 pounds; on filler tobacco,
100000 pounds, and on cigars, 15O,-

low enough in case Of abnormal In
crease of demand, and raising Of
prices, to permit the possibility Of the
importation of the foreign article and
thus to prevent excessive prices.
1The power granted to the Execu-
tive under the maximum and mini
mum clause may be exercised to Sc
cure the removal of obstacles which
have been interposed by foreign gov
ernments in the way of undue and
unfair discrimination against Ameri-
can merchandise and products.
"The Philippine tariff section I
Lave struggled to secure for ten years
last past, and it gratifes me exceed
iagly by my sig1a.ure to give it the
effect of law. I am sure it will great
ly increase the trade between the
two countries, and it will do much to
build up the Philippines in a health
ful prosperity.
s'The administrative clauses o,,. the
bill and the customs court are atmir-
ably adapted to secure more uni
form and a more speedy final con-
struction.
"The authority to the President
to use agents to assist him in the ap-
plieation of the maximum and min
irnum section of the statute, and to
enable officials to administer the law,
gives a wide latitude for the acqui-
sition, under circumstances favorable
to its truth, of information in respect
to the price and cost of production of
goods at home and abroad, which will
throw much light on the operation
OF the present tariff anl be. of pri-
mary Importance as officially collect
ed data upon which future executive
action and executive recommendation
may be based.
"The incorporation tax is Just
ard equitable excise measure, which,
it is hoped, will produce a sufficient
amount to prevent a deficit and which
incidentally will secure valuable sta
tistics and information concerning
the many corporations of the country
and will constitute an important step
toward that degree of publicity and
re gulation, which The tendency in cor
porate enterprises in the last twenty
wears has shown to be necessary.

Dingley law.
There is a uniform increase on
spirits, wines and liquors Of Is per.

There is an increase in lemons,
figs, almonds and pineapples.
Common window glass of the
lower sizes, in which the imports are
heavy, is given a reduction, and
where changes were made in the
chemical schedule there was a gen
eral decrease except upon such ar
ticles as fancy soaps and perfumes,
which were increased.
Wood Pulp and Print Paper.
The publishers win their fight for
lower wood pulp and print paper, the
rate on the ordinary new print paper
being fixed at 1915 per ton instead
of Sc, as under the Dingley law, and
on the higher grades of print paper
at $3.75 instead of So. Mechanically
ground wood pulp is to come in free
Of duty instead of paying 1-12 of a
cent a pound as under the Dingley
law, but provision is made for coun-
tervailing duty in case it becomes
necessary to protect this country
against Canada's inhibitations upon
the expectations of woods to the
United States.
Hides and Leather Goods.
Hides of cattle come in free, and
there is corresponding reduction on
leather and leather goods. The House
rates are practically retained on sole
leather, leather for uppers, boots and
shoes and harness, but the free hide
provision is based on the condition
that on and after October 1, 1909,
sole leather from the hides that are
to be admitted free will pay duty
Of 5 per cent; grain, buff and split
leather, 71-2 per cent; boots and
shoes, the upper leather of which is
made from such hides, 10 per cent,
and harness and saddlery, 20 per
cent.
This schedule of rates will result
in a reduction Of Is per cent. on
boots and shoes, 20 per cent. on har-
ness and saddlery, Is per cent. on
sole leather and 1912 per cent. on
leather for uppers, il made of the
hides that are put on the free list
by the provision.
Bituminous coal is reduced from
67 cents to As cents a. ton.
Daniel Wins Fight.
Binding twine is retained on the
free list. Cotton ties are made duti-
able at three-tenths of a cent per
pound and cotton bagging at six
tenths Of cent per square yard. On
quebracho, the tanning extract for
stiff dut yon which Senator Daniel
made such a strenuous fight, the
House rates of one-half and three
quarters of a cent per pound are re-
tanned, which is almost all that the
Virginia Senator asked.

House included an analysis of the
bill, showing both the increase and
the decreases, but this detailed pre-
sentation was preceded by general
