The directors therefore urges all
persons desiring places as enumera-

possible. and he hopes that, in order
TO help get a perfect census, public
spirited and energetic people

themselves for these positions. even
though they may not care for them
from the standpoint OF the pay in
yolved. He also trusts that employ

 OF ROBBERY WHEN BROUGHT TO THE TRIAL OF BERNSTEIN coNFEssEs.
 HIS GUILT.
Declares They Planned the Robbery and Bernstein Was to Sell the
 Jewels in New York.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 3.-J. ]. Dol. an, at several times in his career in- mate of state prisons and, by his own admission, a man with a rather unen- viable record, brought the trial of Harry Bernstein, pawnbroker of Mem phis and New York. charged with i'm. plication in the theft of jewels valued at 10000, to a dramatic climax to- day, when he acknowledged that it was he who planned and accomplish. ed the robbery.
 Incidentally Dolan caused his own arrest
 The jewels were the property of Garrett E. Lamb and Mrs Lamb of Clinton, Iowa, and we're stolen from the residence of Frank Gs Jones of Memphis. where MT. and Mrs. Lamb were guess two years ago They cated and Bernstein arrested in that were traced to New York. finally To- city as having acted as receiver for the stolen goods.
 With a wonderful fidelity to detail Dolan recited today what purported 70 be an account of the burglanry from conception to accomplish ment.
 He declared the robbery was decid cd On after a conference with Bern stein. With a companion, he awaited in the vicinity of the Jones residence 8 favorable opportunity, when it de yeloped that he could from the porcf gain acces to the Lamb apartments which he did, ransacking the rooms while his companion stood watch. The booty, he declared. was turned over to Bernstein to be marketed il New York His companion he de scribed as the "ther party" but if i, understood that his name has beer given to the detectives employed an, his arrest is anticipated.
 Dolan was arrested immediately ai Iter his admissions and will he hel, under Sl0,000 bond to await trial.

United States tariff law that she has secured by her treaties with other countries.
 Tn reaching a settlement some questions which had risen regarding the administrative features of the Payne Aldrich law and some miseon. captions as to a possible unfavorable treatment of German imports into the United States have been dispelled to the satisfaction of the German gov ernmenr. A collateral matter relat. ing to the interpretation and applica- tion of the pure food law has also been explained satisfactorily"
 1t was President Taft's opinion, says the statement, that in view of the thorough and complete inspection of pork products now made under the United States inspection law, the healthfulness of these products is so fully established before their expor- tation that the results of this inspec- tion should be accepted in foreign countries in place of the microscopic inspection which formerly existed iii the United States.s
 No objection is made to microscopic examination of their own by foreign countries, but insistence on certifi- cates of microscopic examinations from the United States and failure to recognize the present interstate in. spection which was substituted for it, was bar to the admission of these products into some of the German ports.
 The reasonableness of this position was recognized by the German gov. ernment and under the agreement concluded the imperial authorities will take steps to modify the present regulations under which customs of ficials at some ports have refused to admit American pork products.
 The scope of the negotiations GOV cred the discussion of all the various questions that have, in recent years, vexed the exporters of both count tries, the statement explains.
 f'The business between the United States and Germany is so vast and the interests involved so great that these questions present phases of a complexity very difficult of settle ment
 The admission of American live cattle for slaughter in Germany and the regulations relating to the impor- tation of meat products of various kinds, the German customs rules gov erning the drawback of duty allowed on flour when exported from Germany, all of which are of exceeding interest from the American standpoint have been treated on their merits as ques- lions entirely aside from that of equi. yalent tariff adjustment"
