WANT NO TARIFF WAR
DELEGATION URGE AGREEMENT
WITH CANADA.
Hundred Business Men From Along
the Border Call on Secretary
of State Knox.

The vast American business interests
along the Canadian border from Duluth.
on the west end of Lake Superior. to the
Atlantic ocean were represented In a del
egation of nearly hundred people that
called upon Secretary Knox today, es-
corted by Representative Alexander of
the Buffalo district, TO make an appeal
to him to prevent a tariff war with Can
ada Mr.. Alexander pointed out that an
American trade with & value of more
than two hundred million dollars would
be almost fatally impaired IL the two
countries failed to reach an agreement
that would avoid the necessity Of the APP
plication of the maximum rates Of the
Payne-Aldrich act to imports from Cana
da, with the certain accompaniment of
retaliation in the shape of the levy of a
surtax of 80 IT. per cent by. Canada upon
American goods. OF course, any such
tax would be simply destructive OF the
large American business interests CON-
cerned in the supply of manufactured
products to Canada, which country would
Immediately turn to Europe for that class
Of materials.
Coy George III. Prouty of Vermont
spoke for the New England interests in
similar vein. declaring that the cutting
off of the present sources OF supply OF
raw material from Canada would bring
ruin to many New England industries.
Mr.. Graves. one of the greatest lumber
importers OF Buffalo and Saginaw. went
at length into the details of the trade
and declared that white pine no longer
grew south of the border. yet it was
absolutely essential to the building trades
of the United States.
Secretary Knox listened to his callers
with the greatest interest At the con-
clusion of their speeches he told them
that while his official DOSitiOn and the
tendency Of the negotiations with Canada
prevented him from talking with them as
freely as he desired. he felt that he could
assure them that they were perhaps I'M
duly. alarmed; that the negotiations were
proceeding satisfactorily. and all might
yet be well.
The delegation left the department feel
ing very much relieved in mind.

DOUBT REGARDING PAY
OF CENSUS APPOINTEES
Government Clerks as Enumerators
During Vacation Period May
Meet With Obstacle.

Considerable uncertainty seems to exist
regarding the pay of those census emu
merators. recently appointed, who are at
present in the government service and
who intend to perform their duties as
enumerators during their annual leave
The question has been raised whether
these government clerks will be permitted
TO draw a double salary-as clerks in the
department and their salary as enumer-
ators.
W. l.. Broughton. supervisor for the
District, said today that there Is
no Law against the government clerks
acting az enumerators and that IL has
been done In the past. Mr.. Brough.on
added that there was an old decision OF
the controller of the treasury which stat
ed that there Is no objection to q gov
eminent clerk drawing two salaries pro-
exceed $500.
Ten Clerks Appointed.
He said there were about ten enumera-
tors for the District who were depart
ment clerks, and that they would do
their work during their annual leave.
Their duties, which begin April Is, will
take between one and two weeks and the
compensation will average about $50
At the census bureau today. however.
IL was said that the question had not yet
been raised In the ONCE. but that the
drawing of two salaries by q government
clerk was contrary to law and that the
government clerks who had been appoint
ed as enumerators could not draw pay.

Commissioners Asked for Informa.

Of Streets Do Not Tally.

First steps toward improving the river
front seem to be predicted in a commune
. cation received today by the Commissions
: ers in which Capt. Warren r. Harmon,
/; Engineer Corps asks for Information
!. which will help him in his new task Of
preparing data for the establishment OF
!, harbor lines from the foot of 26th street
southwest to Adueduct bridge
; The letter has been referred to Capt
: Markham assistant Engineer Commits
Z sioner.
!. As preliminary some old surveys of
!. the section to be considered will have to
be Strengthened out. There has always
: been some dispute about certain portions
I of the streets in the vicinity.
: 1t was said in the engineer department
at the District building this morning that
: those old streets were laid out in one of
the first surveys of the city. Old-time
> compasses were used, and il is -proba BILE
!. that the needle deviated somewhat from
one or many local causes.
: War Department Survey.
) This preparation of data by the War
Department will undoubtedly bring the
dispute to an issue. The War Depart
. ment has made survey of the vicinity
mentioned.
5. 1t was found that in some instances
: the widths of the streets do not tally with
the information furnished by the city sur
veyor. Water street, from 32d street. or
. Wisconsin avenue. to the Aqueduct bridge
u different in direction and width from the
lines shown on the city maps, according
to Capt. Hammon's letter to the Com
/. miSsoners.
s The engineer department of the District
is asked TO furnish the true bearing of
. the center line of 26th street south OF h
!, street southwest.
System to Be Devised.
Harbor lines indicate the limit in
stream TO which wharyes, etc, may be
built The War Departments instruc-
tons on harbor lines are that great care
should be taken to devise a system that
will provide for the present and future
needs of navigation. This includes termi-
nal developments as far as they be fore
SEEM which will avoid any need of future
modification.
The interests of navigation are con-
sidered paramount in establishing harbor
and wharf lines. However, local interests
will be considered when it comes to the
actual laying down of the limits of wharf
and dock building. and will undoubtedly
, be deferred 10 as far as they do not con-
f1ict with the greater interests of the
general public.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The northwestern area of high pres
sure and generally clear, cold weather
has advanced to the Mississippi valley
and the temperature this morning was
below zero in Manitoba and Minneso-
"a. Light SHOWS in the eastern portion
of the lake region and i'll the middle
Atlantic sections are resulting from
the area of low pressure which is dis
appearing off the north Atlantic coast.
Relatively low pressures in the south
eTu plateau states have been attended
by rain or snow from Oregon and north
ern California eastward to Colorado
and western Nebraska. Another low
that is appearing over Alberta has
caused marked rise in temperature
in that province and in Saskatchewan
and the extreme upper Missouri val
ley. The eastward movement of the
western lows will be attended by in
creasing cloudiness and rising temper
ature in this vicinity, with snow to-
night or Tuesday.

Justice White has been on the SUI
preme bench for Is years. and is now
the oldest justice in commission whose
age is less than 20. Justice White
graduated from Georgetown universi-
~. In addition to practicing law in
Louisiana he was a sugar planter. He
served in the Louisiana Legislature as
a senator, served for a number of
years on the state supreme court
bench, and subsequently was elected
TO the United States senate. He was
serving his first term in that body
when President Cleveland appointed
him 10 the supreme court bench.
Van Dcvanter for Associate.
Judge Van Devanter participated in
the now famous Standard Oil decision
rendered in the Eighth circuit. Mr..
Taft debated for some time as to the
prOpriety of taking a judge from this
circuit and elevating him to the SUI
preme bench, where he must pass
again upon the evidence in the Stand
ard Oil cases. But as courts often re-
verse themselves, Mr.. Taft felt that if
new evidence justified such a course
a man might also reverse himself.
Judge Van Devanter is regarded as EN-.
inently fair and just. These were the
qualities the president was seeking in
his candidates Judge Van Devanter
is regarded as a high authority in land
cases.
