The Chicago Tribune. in an endeavor
to analyze the impression that Presi-
dent Taft is making on the communities
he visits, and in which he speaks, has
detailed a special correspondent to fol-
low in the wake of Mr.. Taft's speech
making tour and interview representa-
tives of various classes as to the ef-
feet on the public mind of his presence
and utterances. 1t is the aim thai
these dispatches shall be absolutely un-
biased, and they are prepared from and
based upon indiscriminate interviews.
The Times reproduces the dispatch
from Omaha. Neb.
OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 2.-on account
of the disarrangement of his schedule
by the Missouri washouts, President
Taft did not get much Of an opportunity
to convert Republican insurgents in
this city and vicinity.
When he arrived the big audience in
Omaha auditorium, which he was to
have addressed on world peace, had
been dismissed. and, as it turned out,
his only public utterances during his stay
in the city was directed to a gathering
Of school children. The disappointment
of the people generally IN being unable
to greet the Chief Magistrate of the Re-
public and hear his views of national
questions was apparent today. After
waiting for hours. the thousands who
hocked to the auditorium were reluc-
tant to leave 30 long as there was any
chance Of the President arriving In time
TO deliver his address. The indications
are that. had the program been carried
out, the President would have received
one OF the most enthusiastic receptions
Of HIS trip through the country.
Good Showing for TAFT

Of the first estimate, which was $4,000 or

Since 1906 the hulkheadlng in number
Of places has been crumhling away and
falling into the Harlem River. necessitat-
ing constant vigilance on the part OF park
employees TO detect the treacherous spots.
Recently a section fully 80 feet long was
pulled into the river by scow which had

time prior to that another section lD feet
long suddenly fell in after a heavy rain.
In two instances a number Of persons had
narrow escapes while passing over the uh-
certain walk facing the wall
The Park Commissioner says he no" mas

OBJECT TO NIGHT DOCK|NCI
Baggage Inspectors Say Hours OF
Labor Are Unreasonable.
NO EXTRA COMPENSATION
Ask Washington to Make Ruling
Which Would Add Big Charges
to Steamship Companies.

Chadng under the task OF working day
and night to suit the convenience of the
steamship companies who bring their lin
ers up TO dock at midnight and later, the
Custom House Inspectors Association has
made formal complaint against night dock
ing. They have laid their case before
Collector Loeb and with his sanction have
asked Washington TO give ruling on the
examination of baggage arriving In this
port after 6 p. m.
The inspectors have long complained OF
working from a. m. until . a. IN. without
extra compensation. a protest is made in
variably when the Cunard Line brings up
the Mauretana and the Lusitania at mid
night, compelling the inspectors to work
until and o'clock in the morning. Be
cause of the limited staff OF inspectors en-
ployed at this port, the men who go 10
work at a. m. on Thursday are ire
ouently detained on the pier until a. m
Friday, and have TO report for duty again
about a. m. Of the same day.
According to the act of February lS, 1911,
relative to tho discharsing and loading Of
cargo at night. the steamship companies
are required to pay the inspectors, weigh
ers, storekeepers and other customs EN-
ployes a dayts pay If they work on snip
after p. m. and two days pay II the!
work after II p. m. An approximate sum
is usually turned over TO the Custom
House when the vessels owner or agent
decides TO work the ship after p m.
The fees of the men are deducted from
this amount and the remainder refunded
TO the company.
Inspectors fortunate enough to have night
work on the loading and discharging OF
cargo make much higher wages than IN
spectors Of higher grade who work Just as
long or perhaps longer in the dischargins
| of cabin baggage.
Tho association has asked the treasury
Department to give ruling on the ques-
ton, is cabin baggage cargo" If tho
| Treasury Department decides that it is
cargo the cost of docking big liners after
6 D. m and II p. m will run up into thou
sands of dollars, and most likely eliminate
| night docking entirely.
Steamships like the Olympic. the Adriatic'
the Mauretania, the Lusitania, the Nieuw
| Amsterdam. the Rotterdam, the George
Washington, the Kaiserin Auguste VIC
| toria, the Amerika and the Kronprinzessh
Cecilie require at least one hundred IN
spectors and appraisers to handle the caoii'
| baggage. If the customs inspectors get
| favorable decision from Washington the
| owners Of such ships will have to pay at
| least 500 in fees TO the inspectors If they
decide to dock their vessels after e p M
and about $1,000 if they dock after II p IN.
II is contended by the inspectors that
the steamship companies charge their pas
sengers for carrying excess baggage, ana
this practically puts baggage in the cargo
class.
