In the last issue of the Iron Age,
which reached Gary yesterday, can be
found liberal extracts from paper on

March meeting of the American Insti-
tute OF Electrical Engineers. New York,

the Indiana Steel mills The proceed

which may be of interest to TIMES
readers. The discussion was opened by
B. A. Behrend, who designed seventeen
generators constituting the 10000 XIV.
gas engine power plant at Gary.
Some Electrical Problems.
Mr. Behrend referred to some prob
lens which arose in connection with
the generating plant and explained the
conditions which must be met in steel
mill power plants utilizing alternating
current generators for direct connec
ton to gas engines. The load on the
power plant at Gary. he explained. is
composed chiefly of induction motors
of large capacity and slow speed. Thus
the amount of tagging current under
average operating conditions is like

amount of watt current required by tbS
motors. The power factor at Gary is
not likely to exceed 70 per cent. and the
generators were designed for a large
ampere rating at low power factor. The
speaker gave some details Of a prelim-
mary investigation of the periodic dis
turbing forces produced by the engine
and the natural frequency of the gen

Washington. March 23-Tat deter mined effort will be made to reduce public expenditures to. such an extent that gov ernmental needs may be met by revenues derived from duties on imports and with out resorting to any of the special tax alton schemes that have been suggested in connection with the tariff revision, was indicated today by Senator Adrich. chair man of the Senate committee on finance
 MT. Aldrich was asked to give his opin- ion of the plan erroneously accredited to President Taft to place tax on dividends declared by corporations. MT. Aldrich re- piled that he had not given thought to it and added that he would not concern himself with any of the various plans to raise revenues by special taxes until it could be ascertained how much revenue could be produced by levying duties on imports, and whether the running opera tions of the government could not be decreased so as to make special taxes unnecessary
 It is asserted upon what is thought to be accurate information that majority of the members of the finance commit tee regard with disfavor the proposed in- heritance tax feature, the proposed in- come tax, levies upon dividends of cor

porations. tax on coffee and practically all forms of stamp taxes. It is recognized that in the form in which the Payne bill was reported to the House from the ways and means committee sufficient revenues to pay the running expenses of the gov ernment, at least upon the present basis of annual appropriations. cannot be col lected from duties on imports alone.
 The inference drawn from MT. Aldrich's expression. therefore. is that the revision of the tariff must be of an upward trend. and that the Congress must curtal the tendency to expand annual appropria- tons at each succeeding session of Con gress. It is not assumed that MT. AL drich is irrevocably opposed to all forms of special taxes upon articles in daily use, but 1t may be inferred from his re- marks today that if such impositions can not be avoided altogether, he will seek information IS to what one or more of the various plans will prove the least obnoxious to the people generally.
 No credenee is given at the capitol to the story that President Taft and Sem ator Aldrich have disagreed over any of the features of the tariff bill It is gen orally believed that the President will welcome any plan to avoid imposing spe- cial taxes if they can be avoided without raising the existing duties on the neces- sities of life, and by lowering the duties on some articles that he believes are now too high.

Former President Leaves New York Amid the Goodbyes Thousands of Friends and Admirers Who Delay Ships Departure In Giving Messages and
 Presents to the Voyager

New York, March 23.-Waving a hearty farewell with his black slouch hat, his smiling face beaming in the morning sun as he stood on the captains bridge of the steamship Hamburg. ex-President Theodore Roosevelt sailed today for his long-pianned African "safari." He left amid the cheers of thousands that swarmed the Hamburg American line pier the whistles of countless river craft, and the thunderous reverberations of the ex- Presidents salute of 13 guns from Forts Hamilton and Wadsworth.
 Beside the happy figure of the ex-chief magistrate as the big ship slipped out of her dock stood young lad, seemingly dejected, as he wistfully gazed at the cheering multitude on the pier below. It was Kermit Roosevelt. who accompanied his father as official photographer.
 Father and son, both clad in brilliant buff-hued army coats, remained on the bridge on the trip down the bay and ac- cepted by sweeps of their hats the salutes of the vessels.
 The ovation was unofficial in character, yet many persons high in the affairs of the nation were present The crowds bowled over the line of the policemen on the pier, surrounded the former Presi- dent, while he was being presented a bronze tablet by the Italian American chamber of commerce and before he was again safely back on the sheltering gang plank, knocked his hat from his head and caused him to drop a vacuum bottle which had been presented by some ad- hiring Pittsburg friends.

Sharon Greatly Excited.

Sharon, Pa., March 23.-The whole bor- ough of Sharon turned out tonight and participated in the demonstration over the home coming of Willie Whitla, who, with his father arrived here soon after noon today.
 A big parade was led by the Buhl Inde- pendent Rifles, national guard com pany. and the Buhl Rifles band, both named for Willie's uncle, and thousands of persons marched behind them through the principal streets to the Whitla home. where fully 5000 persons assembled on the lawn and in front of the house, cheering and giving every evidence of the public participation in the family joy over the recovery of the little wanderer
 Willie does not yet seem to comprehend what he and his parents have been through. He was out this afternoon plav- ing with his little friends. He is tha object of the childish envy of every hoy in Sharon.
 All Sharon people who were up when the news came of the arrests in Cleve- land were deeply interested and suspicion began to center at once on woman we'll known here. While only meagre de- scriptions have been received, 1t is be- lieved by many persons here that the woman arrested on suspicion of having been implicated in the Whitla abduction case is from Sharon. The woman sus- pected has not been living with her hus- band for some time, but has been making her home here. She is said to have had Intimate knowledge of the Whitla fam fly. and their relationships, and to have
