SEYLER FACES A JURY
FOR THE DEATH OF GIRL

MAYS LANDING, ". j., May %
Charged with having been responsible for
the death of Jane Adams. IS years old.
at the milion-dollar pier in Atlantic City.
on the night of February 4, William Sey-
Ter will today be called to face a jury in
the Atlantic county court The disap-
pearance of Jane Adams apd the finding
of her body in the surf nine days later
created a sensation in this section of
New Jersey.
Seyler, who is a young married man
of Atlantic City, accompanied Jane
Adams to a moving picture show on the
pier. They were accompanied by Sey-
ler's brother, Orvis. and Miss Adams
sister. Alice, both younger than the prin-
cipals in the tragedy. Later in the even
ing Seyler and Jane Adams went to the
ocean end of the pier and the younger
pair'returned to their homes. Jane Adams
never returned home, and the following
day the two Seylers disappeared. On
February Is, the body of Jane was found
in the surf at Chelsea. Suspicious hav-
ing been directed to the Seylers. search
was made for them and a week later
they were found in Petersburg. Va. VIII
liam Seyler denied all knowledge of the
death of the girl. but later confessed. de-
claring, it is alleged. that Jane Adams
met her death accidentally while with
him near the end of the pier.
Reports of alleged methods of wiring
ing a confession from William Seyler
were such as to prompt a United States
senator to introduce a resolution in the
senate inquiring into the third degree"
method by police authorities throughout
the country. There are no charges
against Orvis Seyler.

REMOVE TARIFF FROM
DOMAIN OF POLITICS
So Urges Representative Bou-
tell in Defending the Payne
Tariff Measure

DE--= Oh, Mich, May 2S.-Removal Of
the tariff from the domain of partisan
politics was urged by Representative
Henry S. Boutell in a speech delivered
here today at a luncheon given at the
Bankers club.
Mr.. Boutell spoke in support of the
itcm in the sundray civil appropriation
bill appropriating s25O,0OO for securing in
formation bearing upon the tariff, and
outlined the change in the parliamentary
procedure in congress that must be made
by joint rule before ii will be possible
to make specific changes in the tariff.
Every one must concede,'' said Mr.
Boutell. that, judged solely as a reve-
nue. increase. the Payne tariff act, has
justified the opinion of President Taft
that it is the best tariff law that has ever
been passed.
The charge that the Payne tariff has
heen the cause of the increased cost o.
, living is found on investigation TO be
without the slightest foundation. There
is not in the Payne tariff any advance
; in rates above the rates in the Dinglcy
tariff that justiies the increase in final
retail price to the ultimate consumption
of a single necessary article of food,
clothing or household use. Notwith-
standing this. some INSCRIPTIONS dealers
have put up the prices of their goods,
, for the advanc.
The Payne law is the most logically
constructed and scientific tariff that we
have had. 1t is well adapted to serve as
permanent. general revenue statute
that shall be amended from time to time
. to meet the exigencies of the treasury,
and conform to industrial changes.
We ought now to do away with po-
litical tariff revisions with their accom-
panying upheavals in the business world,
and inaugurate a system OF tariff devel-
opmont by way of natural growth. In
other words. we should from now on re-
wise the tariff gradually by scientific
business methods. This cannot be done,
and ought not to be attempted, by n
tariff commission. The idea of a tariff
commission authorized to report rates of
duty violates the spirit of that clause
of the constitution of the United States
which provides that all bills for raising
revenue shall originate in the house OF
representatives. An executive tariff COM
mission vested with power to recommend
rates might, and frequently would, be
in open conflict with the house of repre-
sentatives. Such situation would be
intolerable. and the possible creation OF
such a situation is not to be thought Of"

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Gov.
Charles E. Hughes believes the peorie

allowing the governor to appoint a

This recommendation is but one OF
a number of sensational suggestions

KOCH WANTS HIGHER, INTEREST
OR INCREASED SECURITY
Treasurer On Trail Of City Deposi.
tories That Furnish only
Personal Bonds.

City Treasurer Koch is preparing ia
60 to the council again soon with a
communication asking that means be
taken to provide q uniform method ol
safeguarding city deposits. There are
now three different methods In vogue
and the city has the most valuable Sc
curity from the bank which is paying
the highest rate of interest.
|. A year anna half ago, Treasurer
Koch made fight to get higher rate
of interest FOR city deposits. He was
opposed In his campaign by Mayor
Thompson and the result was a dead
lock.
The rule had been that all banks
holding city money give surety com.
pany bonds for its satekeeping. Two
banks wished to give bonds signed by
their directors. These bonds cost them
nothing, whereas the surety company
bonds cost the other banks $4,000 per
year each. Koch insisted that the
banks giving tho cheap bonds pay 2ia
per cent or at least "a per cent inter
est on deposits in return for being
relieved of the surety bond company
fees.
BY temporary compromise, the two
banks were allowed to give the per
sonal bonds without paying any more
than the other banks. Since then the
National Bank OF Commerce has IN
troduced a third plan by putting uT
negotiable railroad and industrial
bonds to secure me deposits.
"The present plan is unfair and un
Just" says Koch. ut gives an advan
tage to the banks giving only per
sonal bonds. They are unwilling to
give the city any part Of their adyan

rangement has gone far enough. let

FIFTY" FUND STILL SHY.
Controller viii Pay For Report When
Enough Cash Accumuiates.

Not until a week from next Monday
will Controller Doremus pay for the
report OF the committee of fifty. On
that date, he will draw a voucher for
Frank w. Eddy for $17,500, and 1t will
go to the council Jan. Is.
The reason that the amount Is not
paid at once Is that the couIicil has
set aside the money paid In by the
d. U. r.. as a $500 day occupation
tax TO form separate fund from
which to pay for street railway In
vestigation. AS the tax started only
Nov. Is, and there have been but
seven weekly payments of $1,000, the
sum now in the fund Is not $l4.7OO.
Next Monday II will go up to $l6.SOO
and the following Monday to $lS,9oo.
Then the controller will draw his war
rant.
The next general meeting of the
committee of fifty will be held as soon
as the report turned over to the mayor
and council has been printed and
copies distributed. Then start Will
be made toward making some recon-
mendation for settlement or the

WARNS EMPLOYERS AGAINST
CONTRACTS WITH EMPLOYEES
Such Agreements Are Bound To Be In
Favor Of Latter, Judge Murfin
Tells Wholesalers.

President James f.. Davis an
nounced, at the weekly luncheon OF
the Wholesalers & Manufacturers as.
ISOLATION In the Hotel Cadillac,
Wednesday noon, that next weeks
luncheon would be given over to a
discussion Of the shipping situation,
and promised that prominent railroad
officials would be on hand to discuss
the matter. He also told the members
that the association has a special rep
|resentative In Toledo Investigating the
car blockade there and this represen-
tative will exert every possible effort
&c get the cars moving toward De-
troit. The railroads, Mr. Davis de-
clared, we're doing all In their power
to relieve conditions.
Judge James o. Murfin. OF the
Wayne circuit court. was the speaker
Wednesday noon. He spoke on THE
Business Man and His Employe and
Their Relation" and his address
proved highly interesting, coming
from man in his position. He warned
employers against making longtime
contracts with employees.
"If were an employer would
never give an employe contract
said he. Rather let man work for
you on terms mutually agreed upon
but not placed In the form OF writ
ten contract. don't care whether
the employee is a first-class manager
or simply an elevator man, such con-
tracts are bound, to be unilateral-par-
don me for springing a word like that
en- a party of practical manufacturers
Il mean one-sided. Employers take
enough chances rs 1t Is, and | think
you took long one when you invited
me to speak to you today"
Judge Murfin pointed out that when
a contract is broken by the employer.
even though It be for good cause. the
employe has always got fair show
to recover damages IN lawsuit X
he can succeed In raising a doubt ~
to whether there was sufficient cause
for his dismissal. On the other hand.
" hen valued employee arbitrarily
breaks his contract TO work for some
one else at larger salary. the en-
ployer, while he has theoretically the
same remedy, finds 1t more difficult
matter to fix the damages, SO that,
as matter of fact, an employer has
practically no redress against an EN-
ploye who breaks his contract.
