| With reference to my personal in
terest in the matter l will say that for

financially and otherwise in the devel-
opment Of plans for extracting crude
rubber from shrubs. vines and trees by
scientific chemical and mechanical pro-
cesses instead of the old fashioned tap
ping method, now ingenius. The form
J alton Of the companies to which have
alluded were for the necessary organi-
2ation of this business in various parts
of the world. There has never been
any attempt to concealment on my
part, or any reason fer concealment Of
my deep interest in this development.
The measure of success which has been
achieved by the young men who have

of pride TO me-

in sine to accomplish approximate re-
suits in other countries. l have no
apology to make fOri my part (Which
has been unimportanD in this work.
TN the success attained the tariff Of
the United States has played no part
whatever
THE price of crude rubber Is fixed in
the markets Of the world by the inexor-
able law of supply and demand. It is
governed by auction sales at London and
Antwerp. The great Increase in the price
in recent years is undoubtedly owing to
the enormous increase in demand for au-
tomobile tires and for electrical and 9th
er industrial uses. with no corresponding
increase in the available supply. The
change in our tariff Of 5 per cent. on a
very limited number of the manufactures
of rubber in August. 1909. has as little to
do with it as had the movement Of the
tides.
In 1902 the price of fine para was 70
reached SO pound: the present price be-
ing about $40 pound. II the price has
been affected at all by the product, Of
the Intercontinental Rubber Co. and 9TH
er kindred rubber producing companies
it has been to impede the advance by
furnishing a new source OF supply.
Crude rubber is and has been on the
free list of our tariff. and there has been
n,
source to place 1t on the dutiable list. II
this important raw material, which COM
petes with no domestic product. should
be placed upon the dutiable list the duty
would clearly be added to the cost Of
the rubber to the manufactures, or to the

Many Important Articles Of Export
Must Pay More Duty.

Washington, Aug. 1-American
trade with Japan may be seriously af-
fected in part at least, after July L.
next year, on which date the duties
in the new japanese tariff law will
go into effect. This was the fear ex-
pressed in a statement made today

law unless reciprocal tariff arrange
ments are made by the two countries
before the date in question. number
of important articles of export from
the United States which now enjoy
low rates under the present conven-
tional japanese tariff. will have to pay
considerably increased rates under the
statutory tariff.
Among these articles are rails, the
duty on which will be raised from
per cent ad valorem to about 20 per
cent. ad valorem locomotives ana
tenders, which will be subjected to
similar increase; pipes and tubes Oh
cast and wrought iron from 10 per

STILL CRITICAL.
Official Bulletins From
Gaynor Encouraging
But There Still Seems TO Be
Some Doubtful Symptoms.
Mayor Wishes His Wife Constantly
At His Bedside.

New York Aug. 11.-MayOr William
]. Gaynor may be making satisfactory
progress AS his attending physicians
persistently maintained today and to-
night but there is an undercurrent OF
doubtful anxiety tonight that runs con
| trary to the official bulletins.
His surgeons say that he had sat
isfactory day and that he is cheerful
and stronger and was resting quietly.
more than holding his own against the
pistol shot wound inflicted on Tuesday
by James j. Gallagher. AS opposed to
this attitude of optimism those who
read the 1890 bulletin thoughtfully
noted reference to complete radio
graphic examination, indicating that
it was necessary to take second set
of negatives in order accurately to find
the position of the bullet. That an ad-
dtional set of negatives was taken has
been reported heretofore, but the ru-
NOR lacked confirmation.
Nothing is said in the bulletin of the
split bullet mentioned as indicated
in the first picture; instead the lead is
now said to be lodged in the roof of the
mouth Whether the other shadow as
indicated in the first picture is a splin-
ter of bone, none of the physicians
would say.
A sample of the patients blood was
examined carefully this evening and
pronounced satisfactory. the relation
of the white and red blood corpuScleS
having been found so near normal as
to cause no alarm Although rumors
are afloat that his physicians are in
disagreement, Robert Adamson, his
secretary. and f. j. Lederle, health
commissioner of New York, gave out a
statement .discrediting the reports of
friction among the medical advisers
The statement does not deny the report
specifically, but by implication, as fol-
lows:
The surgeons in attendance on the
mayor are DR.. William j. ArlitZ, Dr.
Geo +. Brewer DR.. George d. Stew
art, DR.. Charles n. Dowd. During their
absence Wednesday afternoon Dr.
Charles Fl. Peck attended the mayor
The mayors family physician, Dr.
John w. Parrish, attended him. No
other surgeon or physicians have at
any time been connected with the case
This statement is necessary because OF
unfounded reports and statements by
those pretending to be connected with
the mayors physicians"
The patients irritability this after
noon and the barring from the sick
room of all save Mrs. Gaynor and the
attending physicians first gave rise to
these disquieting rumors 1t was ad-
mtted that the mayor had lost, tenn
porarly at least, his cheerful frame OF
mind and had requested that his wife
remain near his bedside almost con-
stantly. Because of soreness of the:
wounded throat an antiseptic spray
was used frequently and it was during
this process that the mayor showed
signs of fretting.
Reports that dissension had arisen
among the physicians over the ad-
visibility of an operation met with
prompt denial. but nevertheless persis-
tent rumors came from the hospital
that there was serious difference or

Rev. Peter j. O'Callaghan, c. S. p, of
Chicago, and uniting upon all other Of
fcers, the 10th annual convention of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
of America this evening brought it's
wo-days session to a close. The other

elected are:

Boston. Ang, 1l.-Although he did not
directly advocate the establishment
of the army cantcen, Rev. FIR. George
G. Waring. chaplain of the 18th Cal,
u. s. A. implied that it's adjustment
was a mistake in an address before the
National convention of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union here today. In
the course of his address, which was
one of the leading features of tOday's
sessions, Father Warning defended the
reputation of the soldier and declared
that the soldier was driven to drink
largely by the fact that he was prac-
tically barred from high class places of
amusement and refreshment. He add
ed:
He has been deprived of canteen
where he vas accustomed to get glass
Of pure beer without going away from
his home, and where he could neither
meet bad company nor drink to ex-
cess He is Stunned by all respectable
people. His self-respect is crushed
within him and he naturally enters the
only open door-that of the saloon.
Father Warning urged that more
active effort be made to increase the
number Of total abstainers in the army.
Rev. FIR. Walter J. Stanley OF DAN
bury, Conn. former president or the
national union, advocated political &C
tivity on the part of the union to Sc
cure more drastic laws against the

nounced as Foul blot on our boast

1t was through his efforts in behalf
of peace among the countries Of the
world that Robert Treat Paine became
a figure of more than national prOmi
nence. AS president of the American
Peace Society his work occasionally
took him to Europe, and at The Hague
his name was enrolled among the prom
inent advocates of disarmament
Born in Boston in 1885, the son of
Charles Gushing Paine. who was a
grandson of Robert Treat Paine, one
OF the signers Of the Declaration of In
dependence. Mr.. Paine's career of phil
antnropic and religious endeavor forms
a chapter in the history of that city
during the past half century. He was
graduated from Harvard in 1855, and
although admitted to the bar four years
later, Mr.. Paine practiced law only II
wears. Inheriting a large fortune he
decided to engage in philanthropic
work. He organized the Wells Me-
mortal Institute. the largest organiZa-
ton of :ts kind in the United States.
1t embraces loan associations, two CO.
operative banks. and a building assO-
citation. He was a member of all the
charitable institutions of Boston.
In religion he was an Episcopalian
and warden of Trinity church, Boston.
! but his charity has always been unsec-
| tartan. With his wife. in 1890. he Gre
ated and endowed a trust of 5000. 900,
| esta blishing several charities. He had
| been a delegate from this diocese to
many general conventions of the Epis-
| copal church. He was a member of

year unsuccessfully contested this con-
gressonal district as a Democrat. He
