JUGGLING OF THE TARIFF

NEW YORK. Aug. 17,-In revela-

shoe machinery trust, which appears In
the forthcoming September number oi
Hampton's Magazine. Judson c. Wellfyer
shows how this corporation. one OF the
most perfect ever designed. has manipu-
lated the tariff TO maintain high prices on
footwear, and used the United States pat
ent office to throttle competition In

featuring concerns in the country, Mr..
Welliver shows how the tariff has been
used as follows:

moved. At that time the duty on shoes
was 25 per cent, and on shoe machinery
so per cent, The manufacturers of shoes
finally got the hide duty removed by
agreeing that the duty on shoes be re-
duced from % to 1o per cent.
But the duty on shoe machinery was
left at GO per cent.

CELLS FLOODED, PRISONERS
BARELY ESCAPE DROWNING
Frail Man of 68 Found Lying on
Floating Bench.

CHICAGO. July 16.-Prisoners in the
Englewood police station had narrow
escape from drowning yesterday. fol-
lowing heavy rainstorm, which flood
ed the cell rooms. Michael Hogan. a
frail man, 6S years old. was lying in
nearly three feet of water, clinging to
a floating bench-the only article of
furniture in his celtic keep his head
above water. The jailor finally un-
locked the door and had the prisoner
transferred to hospital
BY this time the, water had risen to
such a point that only quick work or
the part of the police saved the other
prisoners. The doors were thrown oper
and the men assisted upstairs into this
sergeant's compartment, until they
could be transferred elsewhere.
Jailor McNally admitted that the
flooding of the basement was not un-
usual.

P. S. c. FIREMEN WILL
NOT STRIKE FOR WHILE.
To Confer with Employers
Wednesday and Try to Agree.

What looked like a serious strike was
averted for the time being today at
the Public Service power-house in this
city through the diplomacy of Dudley
Farrand, in charge of the power
division of the Public Service Corpora
tion. The stationary firemen employed
at the power-house agreed to delay a
strike set for today until next Wednes-
day. At a special meeting last night
the firemen voted for the strike by a
vote of 50 to 1. 1t is understood their
grievances are an unsatisfied demand
for more pay.
An extra supply of men was on hand
to take the places of the strikers. Mr..
Farrand promised the would-be strik-
ers that if they would await a chance
for arbitration he would call off the
ke-breakers. They agreed to the
proposition, and at noon were still at
work, and not out on strike, as they at
first threatened.
There will be special meeting of the
union next Tuesday night.

EVEN IF CAUGHT,
CR|PPEN MIGHT
ESCAPE RECKONING
Scotland Yard Admits Impossi-
bility of Establishing Identity
of Body as That of Wife.

LONDON, July 16.-The machinery
of Scotland b, is grinding away at
the Crippen murder mystery with de-
liberateness. but remoreleEsly. deter
mined to apprehend DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen and make him account for the
disappearance OF his actres wife.
1t was week, oday 81 : the physi-
clan deserted his LONE. but not tan
gible ciew TO his whereabouts or those
of his supposed companion, Ethel Clara
Leneve, has been found. The police are
criticised as usual in such cases, but
1t is only fair to say that the critI-
cisms are based generally on knowf-
edge which was not possessed by the
authorities when they interviewed
Crippen and allowed him to escape.
The police maintain that prior to the
finding of woman's body in the cell
lar of the Crippen home they had moth
ing upon which to justify the deten-
tion of the doctor.
May BE Unable to Prove Corpus Delicti
Even as 1t is, the case of the police
is far from complete. Though they
firmly believe that the body is that OF
Belle Elmore, Crippen's wife. it Is
doubtful If this can be legally estab-
lished.
Tonight the authorities will issue
illustrated poster pictures and descrip-
tions of Crppen and the Leneve
woman, with facsimile of their hand
writing. The posters will. be dis
tributed broadcast throughout the
provinces and copies sent to the conti-
nent and to America.
If the police turned up anything of
Importance today it was withheld from
the public, which is deluging them with
all sorts of suggestions. theories and
advice In its turn Scotland Yard is
giving out only such of its informa-
ton as is held to be proper for popular
consumption. Interest In the case con-
tinues intense and this accounts in q
great measure for the impatience ex-
perienced over the fact that Crippen
was allowed to get away. Neverthe-
less. there is a deep-rooted faith IN the
precise methods of Scotland Yard, and
the arrest of the fugitives at any mo-
ment would not occasion surprise.
The dismembered body is a mass OF
blackened pulp, the quicklime with
which it was covered having done its
work so thoroughly that practically
every clew to Identification was de-
stroyed.
Hope Typist VIII Surrender Herself.
The inquest will be held on Monday
but there is little hope that they ply
sicians who examined the body will be
found to have determined the manner
of the woman's death. Meantime the
friends of the Leneve woman, who be.
lieve that she supposed Mrs. Cripper
to have met a natural death, are cher
ishing the hope that the typist will
learn of the charge against her com
panion and surrender herself.
The police are quite as anxious to
find the woman as to apprehend Grip
pen. for they are convinced that she
could throw much light on the domes-
tic affairs of the Crippens. and so aid
them in solving the puzzle of Belle FL
more's disappearance, the discovery OF
the mutilated corpse and the flight OF
the American physician.

SECAUCUS WOMAN SINKS
IN MIRE OUT BERRYING.
Men Effecting Rescue Nearly
Lose Own Lives.

HoBoKEN. July 1s.-Taking short
cut to her home. after gathering
huckleberries, Mrs Herman Prahm.
jr., Of Secaucus. sank in a quagmire
near Penn Horn creek last night and
half a dozen men, attracted by her
faint cries, rescued her after they had
almost lost their lives.
The cries of the woman were heard
by Christopher Stanton, a former Ho-
bolken policeman. who was in charge
of gang OF men laying gas main
for the Public Service Corporation.
The woman was then up to her neck
in the mud and slime. and was slowly
sinking. While some of the workmen
waded toward her others got boat
and forced it through the marshes.
Hundreds watched the work of res
cue, and the woman's cries were grow
ing fainter when the men reached her
and finally brought her to solid ground.

MORE KILLING BY
TONGS FEARED IN
CHINESE QUARTER
Chu On, Slain in Mott Street, Be.
lieved to Have Helped In
December Murder.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The death In
the Hudson Street Hospital early this
morning of Chu On, Four Brothers
man, shot five times in Mott street
yesterday afternoon, Is expected to
Chinatown tongs.
Louis Wet, OF the On Leongs, is q
prisoner at police headquarters. charged
with the shooting. and second man is
being sought through the labyrinths OF
the Chinese quarter.
That trite expression, "a woman is
at the bottom of It," might be applied
to this renewal of hostilities, for a
white girl caused it by allowing herself
to Be coaxed by Four Brothers man
out of the tenement at 22 Mott street,
thereby mortally offending Leon Par
ker, an On Leong man. This was two
weeks ago, and Chu On had nothing TO
do with it, but IL it hadn't reopened the
old wound Chu On wouldn't have been
taking any chances with On Leong gun
men when he strayed into their terri
tory yesterday.
Chu On had just come back to town.
He is believed to have been one of the
three men who killed All Hoon, the
Chinese comedian, an On Leong man,
on December 80, 1909. Immediately
after the murder he disappeared, and
had been spending his time moving
about between San Francisco. Ell Paso
and Chicago.
BE careful" Four Brothers man
warned him yesterday. land keep out
of Mott street"
Chu On replied that. he had been
away so long he did not believe any
Leong man would recognize him. He
wanted to go into Mott street. and
staggered into it. He did not notice
the plump-faced Chinaman who, on
spying him, uttered one sharp, high
pitched word. He failed to see grim
faced men suddenly spring from door
ways and stand like sentinels. They
all had their backs to the wall. They
were the On Leong gun-fighters.
He turned toward the door at II Mott
street and spoke to man he noticed
close to the door. Then somebody gave
Chu On push, five shots rang out and
he crumpled up on the sidewalk.
