tends to decrease revenue through I'M
der-valuations, and, second, that as
prices advance, the ad valorem rate
increases the duty per pound at the
time when the consumer most needs
relief and the produce can best stand
competition, while if prices decline
the duty is increased at the time when
the consumer is least burdened by the
price and the producer most needs pro-
lection.
Another method of meeting the
difficulty of taxing the grease pound is
to assess a specific duty on grease
wool in terms of its secured contents.
This obviates the chief evil of the
present system, namely, the discrim-
nation due to different percentages,
and thereby tends greatly to equalize
the duty. The board reports that this
method is feasible in practice and
could be administered without great
expense.
"They should be reduced and so adj
justed to the rate of wool as to bear
their proportion to the real rate levied
on the actual wool imports.
"The duties on many classes of wool
manufacture are prohibitory and
greatly in excess of the difference in
cost of production here and abroad.
'tThe findings of the board show
that in this industry the actual manu-
featuring cost, aside from the ques-
ton Of the price of material, is much
higher in this country than abroad !;
that in the making of yarn and cloth
the domestic wooden or worsted manu-
facturer has in general no advantage
in the form of superior machinery or
more efficient labor to offset the high
er wages paid in this country. The
findings show that the cost of turning
the wool into yarn in this country is
about double that in the leading COM
peting countries and that the cost of
turning yarn into cloth is somewhat
more than double. Under the protec-
tive policy great industry, involving
the welfare of hundreds of thousands
of people, has been established despite
these handicaps.
"In recommending revision and re-
duction, I therefore urge that action
be taken with these facts in mind, to
the end that an independent and estab-
lished industry may not be leopard
lied"

TAFT SAYS WOOL
DUTY EXCESSIVE
Recommends Reduction, But
+. Does Not Name Rate.
Believes Difference Between Cost at
Home and Abroad Is Proper
Basis for Tariff.

Washington, D. president Taft
sent message to congress Thursday
recommending a downward revision of
the tariff on wool. Accompanying the
message was the report of the tariff
board. Neither the message nor the
report attempts to fix the rate of duty,
but the president recommends that the
proposed revision adhere to policy of
protection based upon the difference in
cost of production at home and
abWad.
The message says that the present
method of assigning the duty on raw
wool operates to exclude woods of
high shrinkage in securing, but of fine
quality, from the American market,
and thereby lessons the range of woods
available to the domestic manufacture
er, and that the duty on secured wool
of 33 cents is prohibitory and operates
to exclude the importation of clean,
low-priced foreign woods of inferior
grade, which are, nevertheless, valua-
BILE material for manufacturing and
which cannot be imported in the
grease because of their heavy shrink
age. Such woods, if imported, might
be used to displace the cheap substi-
tutes now in use, the president says,
and continues:
tThese Determinations could be
overcome by assessing duty of ad
valorem terms, but this method is
open to the objection, first, that it in
creases administrative difficulties and

ton in spirit of levity.
In the debate Republicans joined

house bill, for accepting the senate

"Mr. Sulzer has shown that he is
acting through the promptings OF pat

Leader Mann said.

GIRLS BATTERED FOR GOLD.
Russian Miss Who Wants to Wed
American Tells.

Los Angeles - Declaring bitterly
that the local Russian colony of 3, 600
is marriage market wherein young
girls are battered by their parents
like so many cattle, Elsie Navikoff
braved hundred pairs of eyes in
Judge Wilbur's court and screamed
that she would bare the secrets of her
people rather than submit.
. Beside her stood Raynor Hallack, a
sturdy American, who served five
years in the navy and to whom she
chung because she loves him and he
wants to marry her. She is II, edu-
Gated, Americanized and pretty. the
daughter of John Navikoff, and she
asserted that her father and mother
had sold her for $500 gold to a man
she had never seen, so she ran away.
That is why she was before the judge
in the juvenile court.
The girls testimony constitutes as
sensational a chapter as any ever
heard in local court. She asserted,
and offered to prove, that there are
600 young Russian girls for sale here
at an average price of $500 to men
wanting wives; that their parents are
the sellers and the highest bidders the
buyers; that the personal charms OF
girls are inventoried like the points OF
livestock and constitute the criterion
of sale.
Her frail form shaking with the in.
tensity of her feelings, she flung the
denials of a score of Russian patri-
archs present back into their teeth.
Judge Wilbur continued the case and
thorough investigation of the colony
will be made.
Officers of the court declare the
girl 8 statements are true.

Two BUCKETS OF
CANDY STOLEN
POLICE FIND TWO BIG BUCKETS
OF CANDY AND BIG BOX OF
MATCHES IN ALLEY NEAR
FIFTH AVENUE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE.

This morning the police found two
big buckets of candy and a large crate
of matches in an alley running paral-
lei with Fifth avenue south.
1t is believed by the officers that
the goods taken by some lads from
a box car, and after they had secured
their fill of candy, left the buckets in
the most convenient place. There is
no clue by which the vandals can be
located.
The two buckets Of candy were from
the Grant candy factory When found,
both of them had been emptied of
about one third Of their contents. 1t
is presumed that the vandals took the
crate of matches by mistake, thinking
that the box contained some edibles.
One of the buckets of candy contain
ed peppermints and had been consigned
to the Vanturia Cash Store at Van
turia, NJ D., from the Grant Candy
Co. The other bucket was. from the
same place and contained mixed can
dies. AS part Of the top was gone,
the name of the consignee was not
entirely plain. The initials of the
consignee were 81. E. g." and the point
to which the goods had been designat-
ed began with the letters, "Mer''. This
was all that was discernable from the
part of the address that was left,
The crate of matches was from the
firm of Park, Grant g. Morris and was
consigned to P. G. Winmell at I'm
derwood, N. ID.
