THE BEST THAT MORGAN GOT
Imperious Finaneier May Keep In
Memory One Man He Could
Not Browbeat.

The yarn of the other day about
Mayor Gaynor and a bell-boy recalls
another one. Gaynor, you know, slept
at the Hotel Astor one night, having
been detained there very late. In the
morning he couldn't find his way to
the elevator. and met one Of the pert
youths who browbeat the hotel guest.
Jaw, foller yer nose." said the kid,
II amt got no time to bother wit

Mr.. Gaynor's nose ultimately led
him to the Office and shortly after
ward clerks nose led him to the
seventeenth floor and the boys nose
led him to Broadway, with instruc-
lions to stay out of the Astor forever
after. It recalled to a reporter the
time that J. Pierpont Morgan got tan

PLANS TO COMBINE BOARDS.
He Would Unite Tree With Game and
Use Same Wardens.

ST. Paul, MINI. - In connection
with the efforts being made to bring
order out of the chaos existing in the
states forest fire protection service,
Governor Eberhart is planning to rec
ommend combination of the forestry
board, the forestry commission and
the state game and fish commission.
The fish and game commission has
many employees, whose duty is to pre-
vent violations of the game and fish
laws. The governor believed these
deputies, wardens and assistants could
all be used for the purpose of guard
ing against forest fires.
The first step was taken by Gov
ernor Eberhart and the state forestry
board to secure better and more eff
cient fire protection for the forests of
northern Minnesota.
The governor met with the state for
estry- board and made recommended
tons, which will undoubtedly be &C.
cepted and acted upon. He recon-
mended that additional information be
secured relative to forest fires, their
causes and methods of protection. He
called attention to the fact that the
present commissioner had no relation
to the forestry board and thought that
some plan should be involved by
which the forestry commission and
the forestry board should work in har-
mOny.

This Country Now Enjoys

Washington, D. G.. March 26.-Gcn-
eral satisfaction is expressed here al
the announcement made to-day that
an agreement practically has been
reached between the officials repro
senting the Canadian government and
the President and Secretary OF State
Knox respecting the adjustment OF the
tariff OF Canada and the United States.
No one in authority hero is willing
to discuss tho details, but there Is
good ground for the belief that mate
rial concessions have been granted by
Canada and that the United States will
receive in return for Its minimum the
intermediate rates given by Canada to
France and twelve other countries on
a considerable number Of articles in
which exporters from the United States
arc especially interested.
Prolonged Conferences.
This understanding Is said to have
been reached after prolonged con-
ference to-day, participated in by Pres
ident Taft. W. s. Fielding. the Canadian
Minister of Finance; George r. raham.
the Canadian Minister of Railways;
Secretary Knox and Charles N. Pep
per, Of the Bureau of Trade Relations
of tho State Department.
Tho tariff experts who have SO sue
gccssfully concluded this largo work
take particular pride In the fact that
for the first time tho United States now
enjoys tho minimum tariff rates OF all
Important nations. Heretofore Amer
lean goods have generally paid the
maximum rates and have had to force
their way into foreign markets solely
on the basis OF their superior merits
or; because they could not be produced
outside of America.
by Narrow Margin.
Tho possibility OF temporary breach
in tariff relations with Canada, owing
to the expiration next Thursday of the
period allowed by the Payne-Aldrich
act for tho making of such arrange,
ments, was at one time regarded as
very close. But 1t is now said that
1t will not be necessary to consume
time in the Canadian Parliament in
giving the arrangement vitality by
legislative enactment for the reason
that 1t can be put into operation at
once by an order in council, which is
likely to be the course followed. 1t is
that the arrangement was
concluded upon the basis of future
negotiations between the United States
and Canada for general trade treaty
between the two countries.
