ROBBERY LOOKS QUEER
TO HARRISON POLICE,

There are some queer circumstances
surrounding the robbery of the grocery
store conducted by Riecke s. Bockhaus,
at 440 Harrison avenue, Harrison, early
today. The loot secured by the maraud-
ers did not total over $40 in value. The
Harrison police are making an investi-
cation.
The place was entered from lie rear.
A ladder was used to reach the second
floor and the burglars then made their
way through the yard to the store be-
low. A vicious dog that is kept chained
up in the rear yard never made a noise,
according to the inmates. The chain
which holds the dog is long enough to
permit the canine to run as far as the
rear door of the store. where the
entrance was gained by the burglars.
The booty consisted Of two boxes of
cigars. $40 in change and 50 worth OF
one and two-cent postage stamps.

PRESIDENT MAKES
 PLEAFOR SUPPORT
Appropriation Needed for Economy Commission to
 Continue Work

Washington, December 2S.-President Taft told delegates to the meeting of the American Economic association to- day that he had heard rumors that Congress would make no further appro- priations for his economy and efficiency commission, created year ago to take up Host motion" in the government ma chinery. He made plea for support in urging Congress to grant the money and predicted that only through such scientific investigation of the machinery of the government could the United States be run upon an economical basis.
 "I am afraid-I have heard rumors ' he said, that we are not going to have an appropriation to continue the work of this economy commission. It is only year old, and, I say, it ought to last five years in order that we may have laid before Congress rational. scien- tific method of changing the organization of the government for financial work and for economy and efficiency in doing the work
 The President explained the work of the commission. He said that it was not the work of theorists, but that of hard headed economists working along modern lines. It Is hard for the govern- ment, he said, to cut down expenditures as a corporation controlled by one or two men might do. The economy com mission, however, by educating ACongress and the people to understand just what the country was getting for each dollar expended might bring about necessary reforms.
 Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh at today's session of the American Eco- homie association defended President Tafts tariff policy, and indorsed the work and report of the tariff board. Prof. Henry c. Emery, chairman of the tariff board, declared that at first he opposed the idea that an equitable tariff could be adjusted by discovery of the cost of production, and doubted the abi- ity of commission to get such infor- nation, but he had been converted to the wisdom of the theory. He told of the aid the manufacturers had given the board.
 Prof. Parker Willis of George Wash irgton university, in a paper on the tariff as an economic question, scoffed a. the cost of production figures given as basis for tariff adjustment.
