ADMINISTRATIVE FEATURES.

lie Dill UluThS II tlsIin't utpo' tu'S
in that II provides for u corporation
tax and court of customs. The cor
puration tax. while yielding large
amount of revenue. is primarily de-
signed for the purpose of government
tai regulation of corporations, and II
will have this effect.
The fact that the amount OF the tag
to he assessed was lowered from pei
cent to per cent is considered by the
members of congress to evidence clear
ly that the bill has regulation for its
object and not merely revenue.
The customs court of appeals VIII
further centralize the national govern
ment, and it will place the intricate
and technical cases as to the coustruc'
ton of the law and the facts respect
ing classification Of merchandise and
rate Of duty under the jurisdiction OF
men who are specialists IN this line
There is no appeal from this court
which will sit in Washington, and the
members of which will be appointed
by the president,
For the purposes Of the operation OF
this court the country has been divid
ed into nine customs judicial districts.
While many items in the bill show
revision downward. 1t will rs whole
provide for an increased revenue. con
tinuing in general effect the Repub
lican policy of protection.
Retaliation Measures.
Governmental measures Of retalia
ton against countries which do no
make tariff concessions to the United
States are amply provided for. Maxi
mum and minimum provisions enable
a higher rate Of tax to be imposed OIL
the products of these countries thar
would ordinarily have been the case.
The creation of u commission to lool
into the question Of the tariff from d
nonpartisan viewpoint is an innova
ton that has been suggested for many
years. 1t is generally looked on AS {
move toward taking the tariff out o.
politics"
a policy long ago established by tar
if makers in this country Is retained
in the new measure. 1t Is the impos
ing of particularly heavy duties oil
Injuries.

ernmental attitude than had been con
sidered probable In brief, drawback
is refund Of duty moneys paid oI
material imported into this countr.
which is used In the manufacture o.
articles which are themselves exported
from this country.
The guiding spirit in the formula
| ton of the provisions of the new meas
ure has been one to fix duties that d.
not necessarily encourage foreign i'm
| portation. but that render it impossible
for a combination Of capital in an!
| given line to raise prices above thos'
that now exist and to prevent them il
general from being further raised
President Taft has taken particula
pains to point out this circumstance
Competition that existed when thu
Dingley bill was enacted has beef
wiped out by the consolidation Of com
panies and the combination of inter
ests President Taft renders the opin
ion that the Payne tariff bill will II

of successful competition In the bust
ness fields so affected.

MANY FIRES THIS MONTH
SIXTY-EIGHT ALARMS HAVE
BEEN TURNED IN.
All Previous Records in History Of
Local Department Broken.
More Men Needed.

The District fire department is be-
ginning to believe that the spirit of Mrs.
O'Leary's COW. the bovine which kicked
over the lantern that started the fire that
burned up Chicago. has been lowering
over Washington for the past twenty
Eve days. All records have been broken
in the matter of fire alarms and, unless
decided reaction sets in. December.
1900. will be set down on the fire chief 8
hooks as the banner fire month in the
history of the department.
The record for last year was held by
February. but the first twenty-five days
of the present month have left that far
behind. The REGARD of February of last
year was fifty-nine alarms. Sixty-eight
alarms have already been turned in this
month and the usual crop of burning
Christmas trees is yet to be heard from.
Of course, only "a few of these fires
have been serious, but luck and the
promptness of the fire department were
frequently all that prevented disaster.
More Men Needed.
All of which shows, it is said, that the
request of Chief Wagner for congress
sional appropriation for an increase in
the fire apparatus and the number of
firemen was by no means idle
Early In 1909 the number of fires be-
gan to increase as compared with those
of 1908. January. 1909. started off with
fifty-three alarms to its credit In Feb
ruary the percentage fell of, but with
the exception of June, when the calls
fell to Twenty-Five, the percentage kept
increasing. The record is as follows:
January. So; February. So; March, 40:
April. 45: May, 40; June. 20; July, 40:

STORM DELAYS TRAINS.
Railroad Traffic in Pennsylvania
Suffers From Snowfall.

PHILADELPHIA, December 25.-Snow,
which began falling here early in the day.
was seven inches deep tonight, the fall
being the heaviest OF the season. Reports
from many parts of the state show a
snowfall Of more than ten inches. Rail-
road traffic generally is delayed and con-
siderable interruption to Geographic serv-
ice was experienced.
The Pennsylvania railroad annulled
fifteen local trains owing to its schedule
becoming mixed up through the storm.
All through trains are running from
thirty to forty-five minutes late. The
Buffalo express on the Pennsylvania left
here tonight one hour late.
Much trouble was experienced on the
New York division Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. A snow-clogged switch caused
one Of the cars Of the Congressional
limited. northbound. to jump the track at
Mill Stone Junction, blocking three Of the
four tracks. The passengers were trans
ferred to the cars ahead Of the derailed
car and the train proceeded after losing
fifty minutes.
Near Perth Amboy Junction an assistant
foreman was killed by train while he
was cleaning snow from switch.

BURNS PROVE FATAL
TO DOROTHY MORTON
Little Daughter Of Cavalryman Sue
cumbs to Injuries-Sister
May Recover.

Little Dorothy Morton. three years old,
the daughter of Private Frank j. Morton,
Troop C, 18th United States Cavalry,
who. with her baby sister. was badly
burned at her fathers home, in the rear
of the barracks of the post. Friday. died
in the Fort Myer Hospital at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The condition Of the
baby sister seems to be better and the
doctors are hopeful of her recovery.
The death of little Dorothy is espe-
cially touching, as the accident which
caused it followed closely after the
child had been made happy with prom
Uses and expectations of what Christ
mas would bring. Firm in the belief
that Santa Claus would make her very
happy Christmas morning. the little one
had been put to bed with her baby
sister. A rag ignited by nearby stove
after becoming saturated with oil from
ieaky kerosene lamp, set fire to the
bed Clothes and both children were
more or less burned before assistance
arrived in response to their cries.
