WILSON TOCARRF.
OUT HIS PLEDGES
Of THE CAMPAIGN
Believed That Revision Of
the Tariff Will Be Begun
Without Delay-No Long
Investigations.

Princeton, Nov. 14.-President-e elect
Wilson announced last night that he
purposed to carry out the pledges he
made in his campaign speeches to cut
special privilege out Of tariff sche-
dulles. to prevent unfair competition
in business and to destroy private
monopolies.
Tho president elect had been asked
whether the big correspondence he
received after his election contained
any inquiries as to his attitude on the
or the monopolies."
Most of the letters" he replied.
were Of a congratulatory nature.
There are some cabinet suggestions,
but nobody seems to think it neces-
sary to ask questions about the tariff
o rthe monopolies."
In his campaign speeches. the gov
ernor often reiterated that revision Of
the tariff should be undertaken i'm
mediately. It Is believed that this
idea will. now find expression in call
| for an extra session Of congress.
Has Made Up His Mind.
Governor Wilson has in hand a
fairly complete list Of all the men who
have expressed themselves publicly on
the advisability of an extra session. 1t
is known that the president elect has
made up his mind on the subject and
soon will make known his attitude. He
! is of the idea the work Of tariff re-
vision can be undertaken without Il
series of long Investigations.
He was informed that New Jersey
congressman had suggested that II II
were possible. committees OF Demo-
Gratis ought to get together and >inves-
tigate the various schedules.
There have been Investigations IN
every congress- the governor re-
marked. ''Tve studied the problem all
my life, and I think there is definite
idea of what ought to be done"
Judge King Calls.
II While Mr. Wilson is reading assd-
uously the suggestions on an extra
session he Is refraining from looking
at the various speculations which ars
being printed as to the probable per-
sonnet of his cSbinet. This was re
vealed in connection with the visit!
yesterday of William r. King, Demo
cratic national committeeman from
Oregon, and Lieutenant General Mel.

General Miles had called only to pa
his respects. The correspondent in
formed him that the names of boil
General Miles and Mr. King had beer

know of this.
II am fortunate he said, "in no

Deposed Sultan Makes Offer TO His
Successor But Refused.

The city Of Fez, Ia the land 81
Morocco. has Reno, in the wilds Of
Nevada backed off the map when ii
comes to divorces. In one day in
Fez $50 divorces took place and the
wives all had the same husband.
The occasion was the Geposing OF
the Sultan Null Hafid and the ascent
to the Moorish throne Dc Null Yusef
Tho transfer Of sn1tans in Morocco
on short notice was told BY Sic Has
SAN Ben Ali, q gentleman of Turkish
persuasion, who arrived in New
York the other day on the Carpa-
thia. He, was present in Fee when
the divorcing took place.
Null Haiid had had the reputation
of having theA most gorgeausly an
pointed harem that ever SET Off the
glories Of the far east. There were
not less than $50 members Of his
harem club, and in an outburst Of
generous impulse he handed the fair
ones over to his successor. Null
yusef, in the choicest of high Moor
ish, told him to go jump into the
river and take his harcm with him
saAll right, old sport" returned
Null Hafid Id the same language and
with most magnificent salaam 'sTf
you don't know a good thing or a
bunch of good things when you sec
1t, It serves you right
So Null Yusef had the beauties
of the harem all brought out in a
big parade. With tom toms AMI
cymbals they were herded to the
river which flows by the walls Of
Fee to the sea. Here Null Hafid
had sampans and rowboats and
sailboats waiting, and his many
wives, happy in his company, made
the WelkIn ring with their shouts Of
JOY and their songs Of gladness at
thought that they we're not to lose
the love and the companiosship Of
their beloved
Hours were required to get the
harem members into the boats and
q whole populace looked on in sor-
row at the departure of the popular
Null Hafid. When the departing
sultan had all the beauties ii the
boats he raised hand and a steam
launch from French warship came
choo-chooing right up to his feet as
he stood ait the pier.
Null Hafid stepped aboard and
made most profound salaam TO the
city he was leaving. Then he turn
ed to his Joyous, loving, babbling,
singing $50 wives and rained kisses
to them with his hands, both hands.
Then he told the officer in command
Of the launch to put spurs to- the EN-
CINE and to beat it for all he was
worth He reached the Warship,
which had steam up and had her
colors flying, then he made another
profound salaam and waved more.

The band played "Goodby, NY
Love, Goodby," ard they watched
the steamer 60 round the bend and
the loving $50 of the harem all be-
gan to cry.
Deserted! No less cruel word can

strange sultan! The departing Null
