BIG LINER RACING
AGAINST HIGH DUTY
Seeks to Land Cargo in New
York Before Tariff Agree
ment Terminates

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-What is
regarded as a distinct concession to i'm
porting interests and to France was
made by the treasury department to-
day in directing the collectors of Gus
toms at the various United States ports
to keep custom houses open until 4:30
p. m. next Saturday. October 30, on
which date the commercial agreements
with France. Switzerland and Bulgaria
will expire. The purpose is TO give
every facility to importers to enter
goods at the reduced rates of the ex-
piring treaties and applies particularly
to New York and a few other cities
where the custom houses close ordi-
narily at l p. m. on Saturday in defer
ence to local law or customs.
The decision fixed October 80 as the
date of the expiration of the agree
ments instead of the S1st. because of
the latter date falling on Sunday.
A French transatlantic liner isAnak-
ing a race against time in order g. get
cargo of goods in under the lower
rates provided by the commercial
agreement. The steamer is scheduled
to arrive early Saturday afternoon and
today's extension of the hours probably
will permit the entrance of the goods
under the expiring agreement
With the return to Washington of
Ambassador Jusserand the negotia tions
between France and America regard
ing application of the new tariff act to
French imports resumed.
There is little danger of a tariff
war. Neither country, it is pointed
out, can afford to embark on such a
suicidal policy a wholesale retaliation.
nor is there any necessity for 1t. 1t is
true France must submit to higher du-
ties upon exports to the United States.

criminate against her she can have no

COLLEGE GRADUATE AT IA
Remarkable Career of Norbert Wei
ner who Received Tufts Degree

No little attention was attracted by
the graduation from Tufts College last
week by Norbert Weiner of Medford,
with the degree of A. b. (cum laude.)
He is the son of Professor Leo Wei
ner of Harvard and has completed the
regular four year course at Tufts in
three years. He could repeat tne al
phabet at the age of eleven months,
could read and write at three years,
and at the age of eight he was fitted
for college in mathematics, philoso-
ply, modern languages and the scien-
ces 1t required less than three years
of schooling, after donning snort trou-
sers for him to prepare for col
lege. When Weiner entered Tufts in
the autumn of 1906, he had gone fur
Their in chemistry and philosophy tnan
the average senior. He was required
to take several entrance examinations,
mathematics among them, in which
he was found to be as far in advance
of the freshman class. So, as a fresh
man he did upper class work in the
theory of equations and in determin-
ants, while in philosophy it was found

necessary to place him in class by
himself. He had read Spencer, Haec-
KEEL, Darwin, Huxley and many others.
Now he has read Locke, Hobbies and
other English philosophers; he has
translated Homer and several plays
of Aeschylus, as well as a similar
amount of Latin. In mathematics he
has delved into the Galois theory of
equations, and has completed differen-
tial and integral calculus. He will
continue this branch this year. and
will study tne philosophers of Leibnitz,
Spinoza and Kant. In Greek he will
read Herodotus and Sopnocies; the
rest of his time will be taken up by
biology and organic chemistry.
In the autumn he will enter the Har-
ward Graduate school, where he will
elect work in higher mathematics,
with a supplementary course in biol
ogy or chemistry. After receiving the
doctors degree at seventeen he in
tends to spend two or three years in
Germany and France, devoting him
self to philosophy and sentence. That
is. at an age when the average boy has
still two years of work ahead of him
for his bachelors degree. Weiner ex-

work among the savants OF German

The verdict in the Harris case ap-
pears to have been just one and the
sentence is not two severe. Moreover
the case has been an example of
prompt justice that ought to be
salutary. 1t is only two months from
the crime to the sentence. II all muir
der cases could be tried with equal
promptness there would be less mis-
carriage of justice. The longer a
case drags the more befuddled it gets
and the more opportunity there is for
mistaken sentiment to help cloak the
naked horror of a crime.
