cent ad valorem instead of A per cent
as now. This, of course, ought to carry,
and probably viii do so.
But in the same paragraph with cash
registers are sewing machines, type
writers, typesetting and linotype ma
chimes How about theseg Everybody
knows that American typewriters sell
all over the world, and that there Is
no effective competition against them.
They sell cheaper abroad than at home.
So do sewing machines and linotype
machines. Moreover, the linotype ma
chine people are establishing great
plants in European countries to meet
the requirements of the patent laws of
those countries Protection doesn't
keep the industry in the United States.
in such a case as that.
Because somebody called attention
to the case OF the cash register, there
viii probably be some further reduc-
ton, though not enough to do any
good except to lessen the scandal and
the rawness of the thing. But how
about these other things? Should not
they, being in precisely similar posture
as to the foreign market and the home
and foreign prices, also have their pro
lection substantially reduced?
Such cases as these are the ones
which bring American protection into
disrepute. Everybody knows that type
writers are controlled by a gentlemen's
agreement which maintains standard
prices, and enables the makers to ex-
act terms which are too high The
standard typewriters at 500 ought to
be a good deal cheaper; and yet, with
prices at home too high, with the mar
l1et controlled, ard with the foreign
field easily dominated, heavy duties
are put on whose only possible effect
must be to give more assurance to mo
nopoly. That is the sort of thing the
true friends of protection, who wish
its continuance and perpetuation,
should seek to avoid.

MISTAKEN ORDERS
BLANEOFOR WRECK

CHICAGO, H., June 20-Twelve per
sons were killed outright, nineteen were
severely injured. and a score slightly
hurt. IN a head-on collision between two
cars on the Chicago, Lake Shore and
South Bend Interurban railroad near
Chesterton, Ind. early today. Many Of
the injured cannot recover.
The victims were returning from the
Crown Point auto races and several pas
sengers had just started a song when
the crash came. The cars met on a
curve at the top of a grade five miles
west Of ChesteTtOn and one mile east
of Dune Park. One of the cars was
travelling at a speed estimated at sixty
FIVE miles an hour. The other was going
at a much lower rate.
The wreck was due to mistaken or
ders. The eastbOUnd car had been or
dered to stop at a siding near Dune
Park and wait for the westbound car
TO pass The road uses a single track.
The motorman of the eastbound car
George Reed, misread his instructions
and failed to make the switch. Instead,
he sent his car ahead at top speed
which is something like sixty-five miles
an hour on this line, and tore up the
grade at the Shady Lane curve.

date. The new aerOplane which he will
Use in completing the Fort Myer tests
the final adjustments, the usual ''tun-
ing up of the engine, and other fine
details which require the master hand
OF the inventor win all take hours OF
careful observation.
Gen. James Allen, chief of the Signal
Corps, said this morning that he does
not expect a fight before Wednesday,
possibly not then.
II is not known whether or not the
two Dayton inventors will make their
residence while in the Capital at the
Cosmos Club. Orville Wright while here

cident at Fort Myer- After that he re-
manned in the post hospital until he
was discharged and went home.
But Two OF the tests Wn1cn the Gov
eminent contract specifies are to be
made by the Wrights during the week
or ten days which they have at their
disposal, before the time limit of that
instrument expires. One test Is for
distance, requiring a fight Of five miles
straightaway and return, with pas
senger, and the other a speed flight OF
at least one hour. with a passenger, at
minimum rate of thirty-six miles an
hour.
The contract with the Government
calls for a recompense TO the inventors
Of SIS 600 for the successful meeting of
all the tests. For every mile per hour
they are able TO make over forty they
will receive $3.50 additional. up TO

THE TARIFF PROTECTION TO
MONOPOLIES.

Senator Beverage presented a fine
Illustration of the possibilities Of the
tariff as a shelter to monopoly, when
he called attention to the cash register
business. The present tariff on cash
registers Is 40 per cent. The House
bill carved this TO 80 per cent, and the
Senate committee stood on this redue-
ton.
Now, that reduction Of one-tbird APP
plying to cash registers, typewriters,
typesettiug machines, linotype ma
chimes, sewing machines, etc, looks
good. under the circumstances. It Is a
good thing to talk about It is the
evidence that the tariff is being re-
visAd downward. But what good does
it do anybody
Senator Beverage showed that cash
registers are sold abroad at Just a
trife over one-half the price regularly
charged for them here. These are regu-
lar catalogued list prices. They don't
represent dumping" abroad. The bust

4 GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT
OF PUBLISHERS.

English publishers, finding that there
has been a surfeit in recent years OF
the quality of literary pabulum which
is classified as current novels" arc
proposing that everybody take 8 years
vacation; that nobody bring out any
nav fiction for that time, and that the
reading public be starved into a better
appetite.
It Is a novel-no pun intended--aT
interesting suggestion. 1t might work
well, and again it might not. Suppose
the starving public, cast back on tho
resources of ld-time standard novels
should renew acquaintance with the
dust-covered rows of dignifed works
which ornament everybody's book
shelves for the sake of form, and which
almost nobody reads nowadays? Sup
pose that in its desperation the pub.
lie should make the discovery that
Thackeray and Eliot and Fielding and
Cervantes were after all better reading
in 100000 words than are the present
day froth in 10000 words? What
would be the effect on business the
year following the famine?
There Is no question that the pub
fishers have been rather OVERRIDING the
thingg Evidence to that effect may be
found in the straining after sensations
in the efforts to invent new advertising
methods. in the constant complaints
from publishers that there are no more
best sellers of the pulling capacity
which used to be developed even a few
years ago.
The bookmakers have to compete
nowadays against the numberless pc
-iodicals which serve up high-seasoned
bits of more or less meritorious litera
ture every week. or month. The dispo
sition Of the public for serious, CON
secutive reading. is being ruined II
would be well if any project might be
devised which would induce people Il
take their reading more seriously
There is no conclusive reason why one
should expect the book in hand to be OF
Just the right length TO finish in one
evening. It is still more narrowing to
expect authors to turn out stories fitted
to al the different lengths of railroad
triDq. Literature is bound to lose
something when the man with suit
case in hand stops to calculate how
much longer story he viii need on a
trip to Chicago than on one TO New
York. If there were a bit more of the
disposition to regard reading as a
means to utilizing time, rather than as
method Of destroying it, something
worth while would ha> been gained.

From Prominent Family.

The CathelI family has long been
prominent in the history OF the District,
especially that part of It known as
Georgetown. The first Catheu settled
in that section before the city of Wash
ington was founded. Jonathan Cathell,
father OF James II. Catheu, was for
almost half a century superintendent of
the Georgetown Gas Company. James
H Cathell went to sea when a boy. and
for years was a. pilot on the Potomac
river and Chesapeake bay. Twenty-slx
years ago he was appointed head gate
man of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
this city, and his figure, bigger than
that OF President Taft. was the first
thing the visitor TO the city saw when
he left hts train at the old Sixth street
station.
Mr. Catheu was always smiling. He
was a member Of many organizations
was in great demand as a toastmaster
at banquets, or a master Of ceremonies
Of entertainments Of all sorts He was
especially notable for his impersona-
ton of the Queen Of Hawaii In a comic
opera sung here some years ago. He
has also played Hebe in Pinafore and
Yum Yum in the Aikado.
