MR.. TAFT PROTESTS
Says He Was Misrepresented
as TO Tariff Views.

Did Not Say That Exciting Tariff
Schedules Were Responsible Fol
Present Business Depression - Die
Say That It Is of the Highest I'm
portance That Work of Revising
Should B.. Executed With All Pos
sible Dispatch-Favors Tariff Com
mission.
President.elect Taft made vigor'
Gus protest against what he said was
an absolute Misrepresentation in GER
tain New York newspapers as to what
he had said recently in answering
questions regarding tariff revision.
He had stated. he said, that the pres
ent business depression was un-
doubtedly due in a large measure to
the fact that the tariff is to be re-
vised at an extra session of congress
to meet March 10; that 1t was of the
highest importance that this work OF
revision should not be delayed but ex-
ecuted with all possible diligence.
Mr.. Taft also said he favored the
idea OF a permanent tariff commits
sion, the plan for which should be
worked out with deliberation, the du-
ties of such commission to be to
make a careful study of the operation
Of the proposed new tariff law, to the
end that suggestions be made in the
future which would tend to place the
whole question of the tariff on more
certain and scientific basis.
Upon this statement Mr.. Taft was
made to say that the present tariff
schedules were responsible for the
present business depression, and that
when they were revised their own par.
ents would not know them, all of
which was amplifod at length and
made positive by appearing to be a
vigorous and enthusiastic statement.
Mr.. Taft was particularly perturbed
over what he called misrepresenta-
ton, particularly in view of the weight
which is now given his words because
of his official position. He had, he de-
clared, changed his position in no way
and held the same views he had pub
licly announced during and since the
campaign.

GREEKS SUBMIT
 UNIQUE CHARTER

Quite a lot of amusement was caused in the police, court yesterday morning during the trial of George and Jim Lam- brakas, charged with violating the prohi- bition law.
 Late Thursday night Police officers Parker and Goldstein raided a clubroom near the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Fourth avenue, and the arrest of the Lambrakas brothers followed. The of- ficers, it is understood, found in the place beer, and when the policemen informed the Greeks that they were under arrest they hauled out a paper and informed the bluecoats that they had charter and submitted it for inspection. The officers, it seems, did not inspect the paper, but took it as a part of their evidence, and it was displayed in the trial yesterday morning.
 During the course of the trial of the alleged violators the "charter' was brought out, and when Judge Feagin ex- amined it, he found it to be one of the naturalization papers of one of the Greeks, issued in the city of Mobile. When Judge Feagin announced the re- markable discovery there was much amusement among the spectators in the courtroom.
 The two Lambrakas brothers were con- .victed and fined $100 and 30 days.

 Terrible Days.
 He lived in the days that were great and terrible, when brother fought against brother for what each sincerely deemed to be the right. In contest so grim the strong men who alone can carry it through are rarely able to do justice to the deep convictions of those with whom they grapple in mortal strife. At such. times men see through a glass darkly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits is vouchsafeds that clear vision which grad ually comes to all. even to the lesser, as the struggle fades into distance, and wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps back to the hearts that were hurt. But to Lincoln was given this supreme vis- ion. He did not hate the man from whom he differed. Weakness was as for eign wickedness to his strong, gentle nature; but his courage was of a quality so high that it needed no bolstering of dark passion. He saw clearly that the same high qualities, the same courage and willingness for self-sacrifice and de- votion to the right as it was given them to the right, belonged both to the men of the north and to the men of the south. As the years roll by, and as all of us, wherever we dwell. grow to feel an equal pride in the valor and self-de- votion, alike of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray, so this whole nation will grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride in the man whose blood was shed for the union of his peo- pie and for the freedom of a race; the lover of his country and of all mankind; the mightiest of the mighty men who mastered the mighty days, Abraham Lincoln.
 Homage Paid to Lincoln.
 New York, February 12.-Beautiful and sincere was the homage paid today to the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
