PROTESTS AGAINST
TARIFF ON INCREASE

ated which would put all Americans at
the mercy of arbitrary trust prices.
That the wealthy few will pay no
more for their silk hosiery, which is
left unchanged on the schedule, while
the families of moderate means must
be heavily taxed for their cotton stock
ings is reported to be the chief cause
of complaint from the great majority of
men, women aud children throughout
the country It is declared by the re-
tail merchants that the people of their
communities are charging this feature
of the tariff bill with most unfair class
legislation. The tower the present
price of cotton stockings, the higher
will the price be raised as the result
of the proposed schedule, it has been
clearly shown, and among the working
men and women of the land the gen
eral resentment is reported as being
most emphatically expressed.
While the business men who handle
cotton stockings would be able to meet
this situation, officers of the dry goods
association said today, it would be the
poorer people of the whole land who
would bear the burden, of the proposed
tariff increase. Only inferior goods
could be bought at greatly advanced
prices by men and women of moderate
means, they asserted, if the extreme
protection demanded by the manufac-
turers here was allowed to become
law and create a cotton stocking trust

ONLY ONE GAME
FOR UNIVERSITY
Washington Has Hard Time to Meet
College Teams.

SEATTLE April 6-The University
of Washington is having difficulty ar
ranging baseball games with the con-
ference colleges. College closes there
May 81, on account of the opening of
the A.-Y.-P. exposition, and even if
the management contemplated taking
in the eastern Washington college
towns, the. faculty would no doubt
raise objection. 1t was hoped that all
the conference teams could be brought
to Seattle during the month of May.
but the indications to date are that
Whitman will be the only team 70 make
the trip then.
The University of Idaho has been
granted a long trip by the faculty
board for Easter week. provided that
no other trips be taken. and therefore
the only time they can meet Washing
ton is about June Is. when the cadets
will encamp at the exposition grounds.
This will be arranged if the Washing
ton team is held intact. The Uni
versity of Oregon team is also unable
to play a series in Seattle until some
time in June.
If Whitman can arrange other
games. a series will probably be played
with Washington during the week of
May 9. The Washington management
has offered Pullman a three-ga
series, but no word has been received
whether or not Manager Lund of the
w. S. C. team contemplates a coast
trip.
Washin etOn'S chances on the dia-
mOnd this year are so much roster than
heretofore that her management is
particularly anxious to meet the other
conference teams. And aside from
the lack of intercollegiate games the
U.S. schedule is heavier than ever
before.

NEW YORK, April 6.-(SpeciaD-.
That the rise in the cost of cotton
stockings to the majority of Americans
which is threatened in the Payne bill
is rousing to protest the people of
every starc, county and town in this
country was reported in this city to-
day. Careful canvass of the customers
of store keepers and statesmen in touch
with the people of every section of the
land has been made from the head
quarters of the National Wholesale
Dry Goods association here for sew
eral weeks and the results show that
few persons of moderate m .ans do not
resent the present plan at Washing
ton to shut out the cheaper grades Of
hosiery and let local trust make it's
own price. Instead of paying quar-
ter for a pair of cotton stockings, it

records of the manufacturers who are
seeking protection and profit at the ex-

years it is recorded that the production

Killed by a Fall

John M. Biddle, a carpenter in the
employ Of w. G. Taylor & Sons, died
at his home on Lincoln avenue on
Thursday, March IL, 1909, as the result
of falling from a scaffold on the cot
tage being erected at Wildwood Crest
for Rev. Reynolds, a clergyman Of
Woodbury.. The accident happened
about nine o'clock in the morning.
Another workman Had built the scat
fold and shortly after Mr.. Biddle step
ped upon it it gave way. James
Locke was working on the scaffold at
the same time and also fell, but was
not injured in falling. DR.. H. II.
Tomlin was called and the injured man
was removed to the home of w. G.
Taylor nearby. There did not seem to
be any broken bones or bruises of any
consequence, butthe spine was affected,
from the effects of which he died. He
vas about 81 years OF age and was said
to be from Virginia. He leaves a wife.
Coroner N. A. Cohen held an inquest
last night and the testimony showed
that six penny nails were used prin-
in the erection of the scaffold and that
it was carelessly built. 1t was testi-
fled that Mr.. Biddle inquired about the
safety of the scaffold when he stepped
upon it, but being ridiculed by his
companion for his timidity continued
on at work without examining it. The
c%oroner's jury gave a verdict of acct
dental death. Mr.. Biddle's father-in-
law arrived today from Smyrna, Del,
and will decide where the burial will
take place.

AN EXPLANATION
PRO bono PublIco''

/ have read in the news column of
the JOURNAL, March 9Th issue, an
article emanating from the present
secretary of the Holly Beach Board of
Trade of "Charges unfounded, u against
the advertising committee of the said
board, which was composed of George
n. Smith and Sherman T. Dowler.
The article states that charges had been
made that the committee had never
made an accounting of the monies col
lected nor expenditures incurred. As
secretary of the Board of Trade from its
organization, August I'D, 1905, up to
and including the meeting held jan
urary 7th, 1909, at which meeting new
officers We're elected, myself declining
to act longer as secretary or any office.
The following officers were elected !:
President, George N. Smith; 1st vice
president, Charles A. Norton; I'd vice
president, Charles Albig; secretary, V.
G. Reynolds: treasurer, VIM. H. Bright.
The finance committee referred to was
appointed at a meeting of the Board
held May the 18th, 1906, to solicit funds
for advertising purposes for the Bor-
ough, and to all intents and purposes
they were / believe, successful; after
that time there were but few meetings
held, but many were called, yet failing
to have a quorum present no business
could be transacted and the Board be-
came dormant even in spite of the efforts
of Mr.. Haswin, former president, and
the calls from the secretary; however a
special meeting was called for Deem
Der 10th, 1908, with just a quorum
present and two interested visitors.
The minutes of previous meetings, by
vote, were not read. The report Of the
treasurer was called for, who reported
a balance of $64. 25 in the treasury. Re-
fering to the finance committee spoken
of, [ quote verbatim herewith from the
minutes as they stand on the secre-
tary's books. To wit:-"Geo. N. Smith,
chairman of the Special Finance Conn
mittee appointed May 18th. 1906, with
Jesse d. Mathuse and Sherman L.
Dowler, to solicit funds for advertising
the Borough through the press etc.
This committee, by no fault of theirs,
have not as yet been able to make a
final report, although at this meeting
Mr.. Smith reports there is a balance
due TO the Board OF abont $6U.UU, IN
conjunction with the personnel of this
committee we note with profound re-
greet the death of u fellow member
Jesse d. Mathuse. At $50 the meet

chair.n / have learned since l retired
from the secretaryship that the Com
mittee have made q full and satisfac-
tory report, "Amenp' for the oppor-
tunity afforded them say l., and now
in conclusion, let me say, that any n
who speaks or even thinks to pervert
facts, or cast reflections OF the Com
mittee mentioned, have not the dia-
gram pevien of the facts, but are non
