A pitiful tale of an entire family

three little tots in destitute circum-
stances, being without food, shelter
and clothes, reached the police last
night, when George and Joseph
Smith, eleven and fourteen years
old, respectively, applied at police
headquarters for a nights lodging.
They were almost without clothes,
hatless and their little feet were
seen protruding from dilapidated
shoes.
The lads told a touching story Of
how their father was out of work,
the family homeless, without furnf-
ture they had once possessed, and
without clothes and food. Their
mother had sent them into the woods
to sleep last night, but being too
frightened to go there they ap-
pealed to the police. They were
treated kindly and given a warm
and cozy berth In a padded cell. The
police are working in conjunction
with charity agents today to have
the lads placed in some institution
and have the remainder of the family
property taken care Of. The boys
may be sent to the aims house for
a few days until placed in a Catholic
home for children.
George and Joseph Smith came to
police headqarters at $50 o'clock
last night. They lined up before
the sergeant's desk and told their
heart rending story. George was

Perth Amboy Leads Newark
len Year Table.
TABLE OF COMPARISON.

According to the accompanying
table given out today by Deputy
Collector George W. Eggert the port
of Perth Amboy did nearly twice the
business in 1910 as did the port of
Newark. with which a consolidation
is now advocated by the treasury de-
partment at Washington, D. c., with
the custom house in Newark and
SUPPORT of entry in this city. During
1910 this ports gross receipts
amounted to s346,062.92, compared
with s192,6T5.51 gross receipts of
the Newark port. The 1871 figures
shows Perth Amboy's total as S492,-
567.S5, but the Newark figures have
not been received as yet by the local
custom house officials The fiscal
year of the ports end June 80 OF each
year.
Beginning back IN 1900 Mr..
Eggert has compiled q table to date
showing a com parisOn Of the two
ports. with Newark slightly in the
lead every year, save 1904 and 1905,
until 1910. Perth AmbOy's business
has steadily increased during the
past five years and the custom house
officials believe the Newark figures
for 1911 will be way under the gross
receipts of this port.
Perth Amboy jumped from s170,-
1886 in 1909 10 s346,062.92 in
1910, an increase of S175,96424,
which is more than double the
figures of the preceding year. In
the meanwhile Newark was dropping
from s233,997.S8 in 1909 TO sl92,-
1851, or decrease of nearly
twenty-five per cent. This port gain
ed s146,5O493 in the gross receipts
for 1911 over the 1910 figures, but
as the Newark figures have not been
reported a comparison is impossible.
Custom house officials point out the
fact that Newark is on the decrease,
rather than an increase, so a drop
from the 1910 figures for the gross
receipts for 1911 is expected.
Collector c. Asa Francis, when in
terviewed at his Office today, said he
was not familiar enough with the
port to give an expert opinion as TO
the advantages of this port over that
of Newark in case a consolidation be-
comes effective. He said his knowl-
edge of the matter has been CLEANED
from the newspapers and no govern
ment officials have discussed the mat
ter with him. He anticipates but

TAFT DEFENDS
TARIFF VET0ES
SAYS Administration Pledged
to Scientific Revision.
Special By United Press Wire,


Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 21:-
A detailed defence of his votes of
the Democrat tariff bills was deliV-
cred here to-day by President Taft
on the last day o. his visit to the
split Republican state of Michigan.
The President rested his entire
case on the foundation that his ad-
ministration ia committed to the re-
vision of the t.rfff scientifically
through the tariff board. He criti-
cised the methods of congress in
forming the bills revising the wool
bill, making addition to the free list
and revising the cotton schedule. To
prove that the Republican party is
committed to the tariff board policy
the President reviewed the history of
the movement for tariff board. He
quoted clauses endorsing the policy
from the Republican state convention
of Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Kansas the very states whose in
surgent representatives voted for the
tariff bills.
