first RESULTS OF THE Tariff
RAISE PRICES OF READY MADE
SUITS.
Clothiers Declare Retention Of the
Present Wool Rates Will Force
Advance.

Washington, July 10.-The advance
note OF warning to wearers of ready
made clothing to prepare fol- a rise
of at least 25 per cen in the price Of
their apparel is sounded by a special
committee of the National Association
OF Clothiers. The organization pur.
ports to be composed of 81 per cent
of the leading clothing manufacturers
in the United States, supplying So per
cent of the clothing.
The committee, in a statement is
sued as a protest to the senate, de-
plores the retention of what are prac-
tically Dingley bill rates on wool and
says that their effect has been such
in recent years as gradually to re-
duce the amount of wool carried in
imported cloth.
Will Force Prices Up.
Through the inability of the cloth
to stand ordinary wear the manufac-
turer has been gradually deprived Of
the opportunity to produce garments
upon which good regulations a be
based, and the prices consequently
must go up. The members of the spe-
cial committee are:
Marcus NJ. Marks, president of the
National Association of Clothiers,
chairman.
Ludwig Stein, of B. Kuppenheimer
& Co, Chicago.
Siegmund B. Somehow, of Henry
Somehow & Co, Baltimore.
David KirsChbaum, of A. Kirsch-
baum & Co, Philadelphia.
Louis KRISTEN, of Stein, Bloch &
Co., Rochester, N. Y.
Frank R. Chambers, of Rogers, Peet
& Co., New York.
William Goldman, of Kohn, Gold
man & Co, New York.
E. r. Smith, of E. r. Smith & Co.,
Boston.
Will Cost % Per Cent More.
Setting forth frankly the prices that
are proposed for clothing next season,
the committee says:
The advance prices on worsteds
which have been announced, follow
ing the steady deterioration of fab
RIGS in weight and quality, resulting
from the operations from the Dingley
bill, will add to the retail prices ap-
p~roXimately $3.50 on a $40 suit Of
clothes; So on a SIS suit, and S. on
a 500 suit, or from 20 per cent to 25
per cent to the cost of clothing to the
wearer. The aggregate burden of the
increased cost of mems and boys
clothing to the American people I'M
der the present advance alone will
be 1920, 100000 for the year 1910,
which is twice the value of the an
nual domestic wool clip.
The foregoing, it is set forth, DEM
onstrates the results already appar-
ent to the actual manufacturers Of
clothing, and they can see NJ change
unless the senate bill, through some
miracle, undergoes a radical overhaul
ing before 1t reaches the president.

Once more congress has FLASHED with
the president and as usual Mr.. Roose-
welt has all the best of the argument
although his veto message on the census
bill was not as severe as it might well
have been. The proposal to increase
the cost of the census by two million
dollars and waste that amount Of pub
lie money in order that every member
of congress might have a little pat
ronage to distribute among his consti-
tuents was about as bare faced raid
on the treasury as has been put through
in some time and furthermore it was
charged and not denied that bargain
was made in the house to let the bill
go through without protest from the
minority. All things considered the
president let congress down easily. The
bill is not likely to pass over his veto,
not because the votes are wanting, but
because the men who put the bill
through in the first place will not dare
use them. They know too well that the
country will agree with the president
when he says, 81 do not believe in the
doctrine that to the victors belong the
spoils, but L think even less Of the doc
trine that the spoils should be divid-
ed without fight by the professional
politicians on both Sides

Mayor SchoIey Names Committee
To Work With the LiacoIn
Memorial Commission
TO PRESERVE LINCOLN FARM
George Hale Named as Chairman With
Captain Charles Frantz, Col. W.
w. Strong, G. E. Stenm and
A. j. Burg as Aids

Acting on the suggestion Of General
Arthur Macarthur Of Milwaukee, Mayor
M j. Scholey has named a Kenosha
committee to cooperate with commit
tees from other cities in the state and
with a general committee named by
Governor James o. Davidson as Lin
coin Commission. Mayor Scholey has
named George Hale as chairman of the
local committee and the other mem
bers Of the committee include Captain
Charles Frantz, Col, W. W. Strong, G.
F. Stemm and A. J. Burg. This com
mittee is not named to have charge
of the celebration Of the Lincoln birth
day on Friday, alone, but it will aid in
the future work Of raising splendid
and lasting monument to the memory of
Lincoln. The committee from the city
and state will be part Of the national
movement along these lines.
In his letter to the mayor General
Macarthur in stating the cause for the
appointment Of the committees says in
part:
"On behalf of myself and my col
leagues appointed by the governor for
the purpose which will appear in the
attached plan, l have the honor to re-
quest you to appoint an informal citi
zens' committee to cooperate with us
in the state celebration Of the coming
Lincoln centenary and in the compile
ton of the national memorial at the
Lincoln birthplace farm.
|--Al the world loves Lincoln-more
without doubt than any other Of our
nation s heroes, for he of all of them
was nearest the hearts Of the people
[ feel assured that your sympathies
will be most heartily in accord with
this popular movement in which al
ready nearly one hundred thousand peo-
pie have joined and in which the citi-
zens of every town in our state will
have part"
The letter is accompanied by cir
cular letter from the committee and
with endorsements from President
Roosevelt, President Elect Taft and
the late Grover Cleveland, former pres.
ident of the United States. 4 s....s
The central feature Of the work that
has been planned for the National Com.
mission Of which the Kenosha men
named by the mayor will be members
is the preservation of the birthplace
of Lincoln and the purchase Of the
old Lincoln farm as National mem
orial The dedication Of the memorial
ON the farm will take place on next
Friday and President Roosevelt is to
deliver the address. However, there
will be many details to arrange after
the memorial is dedicated and it is
expected that the Commission will have
the management of the great National
Park which is to be a. part of the
scheme for preserving the Lincoln rel
les. Already 100000 has been raised
for the fund, but it is thought that
as much more will be needed and ii
will be part of the work Of the com
mittee to secure this fund

JOE TINKER HERE
Cub Shortstop Tries His Hand as an
Actor at the Rhode Opera House

ga Home Rum is the title of a
play presented at Rhode Opera House
last night with Joseph B. Tinker, the
famous shortstop of the Cabs, as the
star. Whether Tinker will be as much
Of success as comedian as he is a
ball player is questionable. GA Home
Run is a four act drama, with Tinker
in the role of zoe Stafford, a college
student, who is working his way
through college. In order to save his
mothers home from the traditional
mortgage, he is obliged to leave the
university and play baseball and when
his team is about to win the pennant
he is approached by his club manager
and urged to throw the game to
the opponents.
There are plenty of exciting scenes
in the play and also some love. Tinker
was not entirely satisfied with his at
tempt and promises that he will not
quit the diamond for the stage. The
cast last night showed weak spots and
anything resembling team work was
lacking. ~

HARD ON COMMUTERS
Railway Companies May Prevent the
Checking of Baggage

Owing to the misuse by few per-
sons of the Communication tickets issued
by the Northwestern Railway Company
at reduced rates for the suburban serv-
ice, in the matter of checking baggage
upon these tickets, the entire suburban
travelling community is in danger of
having the privilege of checking bag
gage on tickets taken from them.
Officials of the Northwestern railway
have determined to put stop to the
practice of certain persons checking
baggage on suburban tickets and then
proceeding to their destination by
means of the electric and elevated
roads, automobiles or other convey
5ances.
Instructions have been issued to To-
cal agents in suburban territory to
make every effort to put stop to this
practice and to refuse to check bag
gage for persons not known to them
as being regular commutators.
If by this means the practice is not
stopped, it is the intention of the
company to prohibit the carriage of
baggage on Communication tickets, in
accordance with a practice inaugurated
by a number Of other railroads.
Said an official of the Northwestern
cit remains entirely with the people
of the suburban communities sur
rounding Chicago whether they shall
continue to enjoy the privilege &C
corded them by the railroad in the
matter Of checking baggage or whether
these privileges shall be taken away
from them.
eff every person who has COM
mutation ticket will see to it that this
ticket is not loaned to other persons
or misused in any way, the misuse
of these tickets now practiced by some
persons can be stopped and the entire
community need not be made to suffer
for the acts of a few

MES. The Rev. Fred Ingley of ST..
