of Vast Sum.

New York.-Duveen Bros, the great
est art and antique dealers and con-
noisseurs in America, owe the United
States government $5,000,000, accord.
ing to an announcement made by Col
lector Loeb Tuesday.
This vast sum represents the Gus
toms duties out of which the govern

nous house twenty years ago. The
amount was arrived at by the govern
ment experts, who have been compar-
ing the book values of the firm with
invoiced values sworn to on articles
entered at the New York custom
house. The amount claimed does not
represent the value of the imports, but
the actual amount out of which It is
alleged the wealthy Englishmen have
swindled this government in tariff
duties.
John B. Stanchfleld, attorney for the
Duveens both in the civil and criminal
actions pending against them. has in
stituted negotiations with officials OF
the treasury department and depart.
ment of justice at Washington to com.

one condition Of which Is that the
criminal proceedings against them
shall be stopped upon the payment Of
a large sum of money by them.

CHARLTON GOES BACK TO ITALY
U. 8. sURRENDERS ALLEGED
WIFE MURDERER.
State Department Decides That Treaty
Must 5e Interpreted Literally
Until II Is Abro9ated.

Washington.-The state department
Friday decided that Italy is entitled
to the extradition Of Porter Charlton,
which was demanded on charge Of
murder and who confessed to the
murder Of his wife near Lake Como,
Italy
1t is held by the department that
the treaty under which Italy made the
demand must be interpreted literally
until 1t shall have been abrogated.
The department holds that treaties
are not reciprocal, which means that
a treaty may be binding, even though
one nation has the advantage over
the other In some of its details. Such
a treaty ia undoubtedly the one now
in force between Italy and the United
States, but the department frankly
says that 1t will abide by the conven-
tion as a principle Of national faith.
The decision of the department does
not mean that Charlton will imme-
diately havs to go to Italy and stand
trial. The matter may be carried to
the courts where the prisoners sanity
will be determined. In such event
Charlton would be held here for al,
most two years.

or not William Lorimer is entitled to
his seat in the United States senate
will be submitted to that body before
the Christmas recess of congress, ac.
cording to the present plans Of the
subcommittee that is taking the evi.
dence in the case. That was the pro.
gram announced Wednesday by Sen.
ator Burrows, chairman Of the com.
mittee on privileges and elections.
The announcement was made at the
conclusion of the testimony of Robert

ing much sought after, followed the
footsteps of his predecessor on the
witness stand-Lee O'Neil Browne
by entering a general denial to all the
charges that he personally profited by
the election of Lorimer to the senate,
or that he gave out the Jackpot"
money in 5000 packages to White.
Link, Beckemeyer and the other
southern Illinois "jack-potters."

URGES MONEY REFORM PLAN
Secretary MacVeaoh Says, In Annual
Report, Our Present Currency
System Breeds PanIcs.

WEshington.-Currency reform; ex.
tension Of the scope of the national
banking laws, II there are no imme-
diate general changes in the monetary
system; civil service retirements; a
customs service free from practical
politics; business-like methods in the
daily transactions of the government
and abolition of red tape wherever 1t
clogs the wheels of the governments
business are among the recommends
tions in the annual report of Mac
Veagh, secretary of the treasury, pre-
sented to congress Thursday.
Expenses Of governments in the fis-
cal year 1912, for which this session
of congress is asked to appropriate,
are estimated at $3.50, ,494, ,O1S12. The
estimated expenditures Of the Panama
canal are given as $50, ,920,S47.6S,
making a total of $687 ,414.s60.81. The
estimates represent net savings OF
about 5000, 900 in the executive de-
partments. compared with the ap-
propriations for the current fiscal year.
"Our system can fairly be called
panic-breeding system" he says,
whereas every other great national
banking and currency system is panic
preventing. AS long as we continue
under our present system we are LA.
BILE to panics, and the devastations OF
panics reach Republicans and Demo
Gratis. and all parts of the country
alike. Panics are no longer necessary
and no longer respectable.
I'VE have no system of reserves;
our banking system destroys them. 1t
concentrates in New York what are
pretended to be reserVes and then
forces the New YorL banks to lend
and abolish them. Our system, In
stead OF building up a reserve, de-
stroys IL AS fast as it inclines to &C.
cumulate."

melted by fiery speeches, an audi
ence of several thousand persons at a
mass meeting called by Mayor Geary
to protest against the installation OF
pay-as-you-enter cars was swept be-
yond control and became a mob whose
carnival of destruction continued un'
checked for over an hour. Except
when motormen ran at high speed
through the mob, every car that came
within reach was demolished.
Two weeks ago the Toronto street
railway installed pay-as-you-enter cars
on the principal car lines. Much dis
satisfaction developed over the limo

service were used. In addition it was
said people getting on have been sub

women, almost amounted to inde

Much popular Indignation has been
aroused by the company's orders pro
hibiting smoking on the rear platforms
and requiring persons to leave by the
forward exit. The company asserted
the right to fine persons infringing
these rules and the provincial railwa!
board affirmed this claim.

CENSUS RETURNS
FULLY COMPLETED
Stars and Stripes Protect More
Than One Hundred Millions
FIGURES EXCEED ALL ESTIMATES
West Shows Greatest Growth-Basis
of Representation Will Have to Be
Observation-Disclosures Durand Submits
Statement.

Observation-Disclosures count OF
the 18th national census places the
total population of the United States
at 93,402,151.
This estimate, including Porto Rico
and Hawaii, but not including the
Philippine islands, which at the cen
sus of 1908 was 1885, ,426, shows that
more than 101 100000 persons are liv-
ing in territory owned by the United
States.
The gain in the last decade is 49,
1861, or 20.9 per cent, somewhat
larger than was estimated. The pop
ulation of continental United States
is 81, 1,972,266, an increase Of 1897 ,691,
or 21.1 per cent. In 1900 the increase
was 13,O46,s61, or 2O.7 per cent.
1t will be necessary to alter the
basis of representation in congress.
At the present ratio of $4,000 people
to each member of the house of repre-
sentatives, the house would contain
about 474 members, as against 392 at
present. 1t is the general belief that
the number would be unwieIdy. Even
at the rate of 100000 as a basis, the
house would contain 41S members.
In statement Director DUrand at.
tributes the growth largely TO great.
er additions through immigration.
Mr.. Durand expresses the opinion
that later statistics probably will show
that As per cent of the population oil
the country is urban-that is, in places
Of $500 inhabitants or more. The pop
ulation living in cities Of $4,000 or
more inhabitants has increased much
more rapidly than that in the rest OF
the country.
The decline in rural population has
been substantially general throughout
the great northern middle section OF
the country. The director closes by
saying:
"The decrease in rural population in
the middle states is by no means due
to lack of prosperity, as agricultural
statistics show an extraordinary in
crease in the value of farm lands ant
farm property throughout this section
and will indicate a great increase il
the income of the farmers when the
statistics are compiled"

Don't Persecute
YOUR Bowels
Why Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when It
comes to him, as it is sign of &C.
dateness and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.
