JUDGE TAFT WILL HAVE THE TARIFF
 REVISED BY JUNE
President-Elect on Record as in Favor of a Commis- sion, to Be Permanent.

New York, Feb. 27.-President-e1ect Taft yesterday declared himself in favor of a speedy and equitable revis- ion of the tariff in order that there may be definite settlement of trade conditions tending to stimulate a sub- stantial business revival in all indus trial channels and relieving such un- certainty as now exists.
 He expressed himself on this subject to James w. Van .Cleave, of St. Louis, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, and H. E. Miles, oi Racine. Wis. chairman of the Tariff Committee of the same organ Zation.
 'I believe the tariff revision problem should be disposed of as quickly as possible" said the President-elect, ''ir the interests of business. The solution of this matter at the earliest possible date means the elimination of any un- certainties which exist in the business world to-day. As I have repeatedly said. both during and since the cam paign. I believe in the earliest possible revision of the tariff and in a revision which shall follow the promises made in the Republican national platform. look forward to June as the time when this work should be practically completed and effective"

SUPREME COURT AND
 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Editor of the Farmer" Sir:-A re- port of a Supreme Court decision set ting aside a charge of manslaughter brought against MT. Watson of Moores- town, N. J., contains the following statement:
 "One of the novel questions raised being how far the belief of Christian Scientists would excuse them from wi,- fully neglecting to care for the physi- cal needs of their children"
 The question was not as to how far or whether at all Christian Scientists would be excused for "wilfully neg lecting to care for the physical needs of their children but as to whether the employment of medicine is a phy- sical necessity. On this point it should be stated that Christian Scientists be- lieve that all the physical needs of their children should be prov ad. and @ visit to the homes of Christian Scien- lists will prove this fact, but as to the question of @ remedy for the sick, many patients have proved by experi- ence first with medicine and last with Christian Science that Christian Science is the better remedy for their children, hence they have chosen Chris tian Science treatment and rejected medicine.
 Yours sincerely,
 ALFRED HARLOW.

POPULAR MEMS MEETING

The series of popular mems meetings at the Y. M. c. A. is proving to be mighty interesting and helpful to the men who fill the social rooms where these meetings are held each Sunday afternoon. The informal go or come as you please character of these gath eringS is being maintained right along. Once again Hutzel's orchestra will fur nish the music, playing from 2:30 to 3:30, and again at tomorrow after noon. Especially attractive will be the singing of male quartette, Messrs. Wm. Seabridge and Joseph Barber, tencrs, and Geo. R. Card and Fl. J.. Cox, basses.
 William A. Dewitt of Yale, will speak at this meeting, giving a talk right straight to men about the prob lems and temptations that arise Sl every mans life. His message is no hearsay one, but foun[ed on his own personal experience. some of which he will relate. He knows because he has "been there."
 After the talk, an informal Bible class will be held in one of the rooms, to which any man may go and take part in the discussion or not, as he pleases.
 The association building will be open ed at 2:30 D. m. each Sunday for these meetings. All men are welcome.

NOT READY TO TAKE UP PUBLIC
 UTILITIES BILL
Neither Proponents Nor Op- ponents Are Yet Ready to Proceed-Judiciary Com mittee Will Dispose of Other Business First.
fspecial from United Press.)

Hartford, Feb. 27.-The poStponement of the action on the public utilities bill which prompted Governor Lilley's special message on this subject is due largely to the fact that neither the opponents nor the supporters of this measure are ready to proceed. In general, the legislators are profoundly ignorant on the subject and even the corporation lawyers and lobbyists would like to get a better line on what they have to meet.
 The Judiciary conmittee,I which has this matter in hand, has determined to get the bulk of it's other work out of the way before tackling this question. So it will probably be couple Of months before the matter is taken up by the Judiciary committee and the effect of the Governors special mes sage will be to set individual members to investigating the subject rather than postpone the judicial procedure.
 From all appearances, the phase of the bill which takes from the Legis- lature the granting of special charters and puts it in the hands of a commis- sion, will have hard sledding in the House, for the small town members resent any effort to take this preroga- tive away from them.

SUNDAY DASHED FOR
 WRONG OFFENCE
Crazy Man Hadn't Read Re- vivalist Rendering of Bible Story.

Springfield. H.. Feb. 27.-Rev. Will liam A. Sunday, better known as Billy Sunday. a former National leaguer, whipped last night, by a religious fanatic. in the presence of over 5000 people. While the chorus work was going on a powerful man mounted the platform on which Sunday was seated, and struck him several terrible blows with a buggy whip. Sunday grappled with his assailant and dashed him to the floor. The assailant was arrested. He had been once declared insane and was committed to an asylum and was released as cured. He declared that Sunday had criticized the virtue of women in whose defense he had ad- ministered the whipping. The follow ing from the Buffalo Enquirer is a slap at Sundays methods of preaching the gospel:
 For years the followers of baseball have had dinned into their ears the good work that Billy Sunday, once National League Outfielder, now preaching the Gospel of an evangelist, has been doing in the matter of re- generating the world.
 'NOw comes a minister with a slap at Sundays methods, claiming that the former ball tosser is going beyond the limit to reach the common peo- pie in his mingling of the Holy Word and up-to-date slang. He proceeds to quote from one of Sundays talks, said to have been delivered recently at Spokane. and which would even make the liberal-minded Ren Mulford sit up and wonder. Here's the way Sunday is said to have interpreted the story of David and Goliath for his heterogene- ouS audience:
 ''And so David's pa comes to him Whara hn iy, al T says: Dave. better go up to the house: your mas anxious about the other boys fighting in the army: hasn't heard from them by phone or anything. and she'd like you should go look them up So Dave hops on a trolley and hikes to the front and stays there with his brothers over night.
 In the morning old Goliath comes out in front of the Phiistines and dares the Israelites to fight him. Who's that big stiff making all the big talk out there?' asks Dave.
 Why. that's the head cheese, the big nofse.' says his brothers.
 "fWhy don't someone soak him one?' asks Dave.
 We've all got cold feet said the Israelites.
 "'You fellows make me Nired,' says Dave. and he hikes out to the brook gets four pebbles in his shepherds s SICK, SldInS one aC COl1dCn ana SOaKS him in the coco between the lamps. Goliath goes to the mat. takes the count. and Dave pokes him in the slats. chops off his block. and the whole Philistine gang skiddoed.' E While Sundays nearer may have understood that line of talk better than if he had read the story from some Biblical history. it does seem as if had gone too far into the realm of plain speaking with such a subject

BRED" WALLER
 MAKING GOOD
Neal Ball Leaves Here for Southern Training
 Camp

The war correspondents of the New York papers have been on the field of action of both the New York teams
 and are daily sending dope to the readers of their papers about the do- ingS of the recruits from almost any where and already have the pennant cinched for their respective teams. As the Giants were the favoriteS in the big city last season, most of the junk is about their new recruits. The in terest locally is centered in the doings of one Red Waller All the papers speak in glowing terms of his prowess and predict that he will stay the sea- son. Yesterday he and Durham pitch ed for McGraw'S team of recruits against Robinson's team of older play CTS and shut out their opponents by the score of 50. The following is from the New York World:
 Red Waller, the new pitcher from Jersey, has convinced McGraw that he has in him the making of a star man. His arm was a little stiff today, but he was able to use his head instead of his wing at critical stages in the ex- citing game, and he fielded his posi- tion beautifully. That made a hit with McGraw right away, and he re- fused to let him pitch more than two innings, as he was afraid to running a valuable arm.'
 Another big leaguer who attracted a great deal of attention last season has been wintering in the wilds of this city. Neal Ball, shortstop for the New York Highlanders, is the guilty party and has kept himself free from the press agents for some time. The youngster left this city yesterday and will leave New York this morning with other Highlanders for Macon, Ga. Ball in all probability will be tried in the outfield by Manager Stalhngs this sea- son as he was a very wierd fielder on slow hit balls. The batters knew his weakness, his error column being rath- CT strong. The Highlanders once tried to get rid of Ball but all the other managers said they would pick him up and place him in the outfield. He is a. 300 batter.

NSpeCldl IfOIl OnlIoQ FroSS.1
 New York, Feb. 27.-There is much dissatisfaction among pugilistic fol- lowers today over the showing made by Battling Hurley of Passafc, and Charley Griffin, the Australian cham pion, in their ten round bout last night. The concensus of opinion is that the boys did not fight as strong ly as they did in their former bouts.
 Griffin's work was a disappointment. He continually resorted to clinching. Hurley seemed willing to fight at all times but the Australians holding pre- vented any hard blows being struck All in all the fight was not what was expected.
