Treasury MacVeagh in document
made public tells some remarkable
revelations made by his department in
eradicating many gigantic frauds from
the United States customs service and
the assistance given him by business
firms and citizens.

record of hearing in which Mr..
MacVeagh testified before the house
committee on expenditures in the
treasury department
The tremendous cleaning up Of
frauds in the customs service which
the secretary has accomplished was
briefly sketched for the benefit OF the
committee. Most of these instances
never became public More than
100000 in fines and penalties was
collected from English wooden manu-.
facturers and American importers.
The secretary said that hitherto
not only sugar but every other kind
of merchandise had been underweight-
ed at New York and the government

ent individuals, mostly not native

One Of the .'uncommerciap things

VETOES COTTON BILL
PRECEDENT TAFT DECLARES TAR
iFF MEASURE UNWIsE AND
DANGEROUS.
WAS NOT FULLY CONSIDERED
Congress AdJourns With Echo Of Third
Veto Ringing In Its Ears-No At.
tempt to Pass Bill Over
Head OF Executive.

Washington.-With the echo of an.
other presidential veto ringing in Its
ears the special session, Of congress
adjourned. .
In his third tariff veto message the
president made special objection to
the attempt to add revision OF the
iron and steel and chemical schedules
to the cotton bill as amendments.
Il find." the message of the presi-
dent said, that there was practically
no consideration Of either schedule by
any committee OF either house. There
were no facts presented to either
house In which can find material
upon which to form any judgment as
to the effect of the amendments either
upon American Industries or upon the
revenues Of the government"
Briefly reviewing the manner in
which the iron and steel and chemical
amendments were added to the bill the
president said:
Il cannot make myself party to
dealing with the industries Of the
country In this way. The industries
covered by metals and the manufac-
ture of metals are the largest in the
country, and 1t would seem not only
wise, but absolutely essential to &C.
quire accurate Information as to the
effect of changes which may vitality
effect these Industries before enacting
them into law"
Speaking of the cotton industry, the
president said the capital invested in
1909 amounted to $S21,000,000, the
value Of the product to $629,00O, 900,
the number Of wage earners to $4,000,
making, with dependents, total of
at least 100000 persons affected,
with annual wages OF $146,000, 900. The
bill would not have gone into effect
until January next. and Mr.. Taft
said the tariff board would be ready
with report before that time. In
vestigation by the house ways and
means committee. Mr.. Taft said, was
purely for the purpose Of preparing a
bin on tariff for revenue basis.
The president denounced the bill as
empirical and haphazard."
This BILL he continues, illustrates
and enforces the views which I have
already expressed in vetoing the wool
bill and the so-called free list bill, as
to the paramount importance of Sc
curing, through the investigation and
reports Of the tariff board, a definite
and certain basis of ascertained fact
for the consideration of tariff laws.
When the reports Of the tariff board
upon these schedules are received the
duties which should be imposed can
be determined upon justly and with In.
telligent appreciation Of the effect that
they will have both upon industry and
upon revenue"
No attempt was made to pass the
bill over the veto.
The bills passed by congress which
received executive approval were the
reciprocity bill, the statehood bill. the
reapportionment bill and the measure
providing for publicity Of campaign
funds"
