A TARIFF TIP TO TAFT.
Summary of Findings Relating to Wool
Schedule Presented by the Board.

Washington, Dec. I2.--Although its
final report will not be ready for sew
eral days, the tariff board laid before
President Taft comprehensive sum
mary Of its Investigations of the wool
industry. No recommendation as to re-
auctions in the present wool tariff We're
made by the board, which, under the act
OF Congress was to report only on the
comparative cost of production in va
rious parts of the United States and
in foreign countries. The data given the
president, however, was considered am
pie for him TO begin his first tariff mes
sage of the session. The president has
not yet decided whether he will recon-
mend reductions of the wooden duty.
He has told friends, however, that he
would not hesitate to name reduction
to specific rate if he thought that
reduction advisable, although Congress
initiates tariff legislation and many
members believe that to it alone belongs
the right of rate making.

Death Reveals a Peculiar Situation in

hold.

Philadelphia, Dec 1.-THE police yes
terday were investigating the mysterious
death Sunday of girl known as Mary
t. Harmon, IS years old, who was found
in the bedroom of her apartment sup
posedly dead from gas asphyxiation.
Near her on the floor was the uncon-
scious form of the woman's negro maid,
who is about 40.
The strange feature of the case is that
while the younger woman was supposed
to be white and the maid a mulatto.
the former really had negro blood and
was the daughter of the woman who
lived with her as her servant.
According to the police, the woman
maintained this relationship because of
the ambition of the mother to contract
an advantageous marriage for her off
spring. They say the dead girl was the
daughter of an educated Englishman
who lived in Baltimore.
The dead girl, who was a good musi-
clan, was employed as pianist in a NOV
ing picture place, but lost her position
on Saturday night. The mother has
been unconscious in hospital for "a
hours, and If she RECEIVERS she is expected
to throw light on the cause of her daugh.

Among the girls effects were Is pawn
tickets, showing that 1928 had been Dor
rowed on jewelry.

PACKERS TRIAL CONTINUES.
Faint Hope That Supreme Court Will
Hear Oral Arguments.

Chicago, Dec l2.--While the routine
Of examining prospective jurors in the
case of the ten packers under indictment
for alleged violation of the criminal sec
lions of the Sherman antitrust law, was
scheduled to go on before Judge Car
penter yesterday, there was hope among
the defendants that the United States
supreme court might be heard from.
There was a possibility that the higher
court would hand down decision as
to whether it would hear oral argu-
ments on the constitutionality of the
Sherman act, as petitioned for before
Judge Kohlsaat. The refusal of the SUI
preme court last Tuesday, however, to
issue stay in the trial was taken as
an intimation that it might review the
petition only as it comes before it in
regular form. Eleven men occupied the
jury box at the adjournment Of court
on Saturday. It was given out as prac-
tically certain that no more than four
of the eleven would be rendered back to
the prosecution

Laurier to Revive the Tariff
Issue
WILL URGE A BIG CUT
In Reciprocity with Britain--A Dilem
ma for the Canadian Premier
Strong Imperialist; Also for
High Protection Policy.

Ottawa, Dec. l2.-Canada's biggest
tariff fight is scheduled for the reas-
sembling of parliament on Jan. 10. 1t
is learned that Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
plans for the rest of the session in
eluded few things which promise to
make the session one of the most bril-
liant and spectacular ever witnessed
Mr.. Borden's recent assertions TO United
States audiences that reciprocity was
dead and that he had IFS scalp dangling
at his side have not been relshed by
Sir Wilfrid and his followers, who firm
Is believe that the defeat of reciprocity
was not due TO a discussion of the ques-
tior on It's merits, but rather was due
to appeals to imperialistic and pro-Brit-
ish sentiment.
The Opposition lets it be known that
Mr.. Borden's proposition TO create a
permanent tariff commission immediate
~ after parliament reassembes will be
vigorously opposed and that the moment
Mr.. Borden introduces in the house of
commons the resolution which must pre-
cedo the formal bill, a tariff discus
sion will be precipitated in the house
of commons. The Opposition announce
that they will not only fight the whole
tariff commission proposition as a make
shift, but will denounce it as n scheme
to smother tariff talk in the house Of
commons.
The Opposition proposes to defeat the
government plan by starting a tariff de-
bate while the matter is in the commit
tee stage. The 0ppositions plan con-
templates a proposition to be put for
ward by Sir Wilfrid Lauuier or one Of
his supporters to increase the present
British preference Of 80 rs per cent. to
80 or 70 per cent. This has been def
nitely decided upon and it will precipi-
tate tremendous row. Laurier is be-
ing denounced by the Conservatives. who
have heard Of his plan as insincere, but
his supporters say that the imperialists
and fiagwavers, who were successfully in
evidence during the last campaign, win
be completely flabbergasted by such
move, because the Borden government
is thoroughly committed to the con.
tinuaton of the present protective pol

same time it is supposed to be the great
est colonial exponent Of imperialism.
The Opposition leaders claim that their
forces are solidly in favor of the in
crease Of the preference and that many
of Borden's supporters are ready to join
Sir Wilfrid when the prime minister
announces his opposition to the scheme.
The government has decided to reyo-
lutionke Canada's immigration policy by
closing up its agencies in the United
States and ceasing its advertising aetiv-
tiles in that country The Boston i'm.
migration Office is to be the first to 60.
The Offices in Syracuse and in the west
ern cities will also be closed up soon.
Government officials say that this does
not mean that Canada does not want
American settlers, but that they win
hereafter concentrate government activ-
tiles in the immigration field to Great
Britain.
