TEAM OWNERS PROTEST.
Oppose Law which Gives Humane
Society Cruelty Fines.

The Commissioners yesterday received
a letter from the District Team Owners
Association, opposing the law under
which the Washington Humane Society
receives the fines Imposed IN cruelty to
animal cases brought before the Police
Court by its representatives.
The association also protested against
the proposed elimination OF jury trials
In such cases by the reduction OF the
maximum fine to $40.
Under the present enforcement OF the
humane laws horse owners have been
compelled TO unite for their own protec-
ton, and in self-oefense are often forced
to invoke trial by jury" reads the letter.
THE large percentage OF acquittals shows
that they are justified in doing so. Under
existing law the fines and forfeitures
resulting from prosecutions by the hu-
name officers go into the Golfers or the
Humane Society, constituting a large part
Of its upkeep. last year amounting to
nearly 5000. and this provision causes
unusual activity on the part OF the Of
ficers. resulting in many doubtful COM
plants being made"

TARIFF BOARD is
DEFENDED By TAFT.
President Defines Scope Of Body in
Address to Cotton Manu-
facturers.

Several hundred delegates to the an
nuai convention Of the American Cotton
Manufacturer Association at the New
Raleigh were received yesterday after
noon In the East Room OF the White
House by President Taft, who addressed
them briefly upon the tariff question
I've are in this country in respect to
every business on a protective tariff
basis" Mr.. Taft said. Il do not mean
that every business needs a protective
tariff to enable II 10 live. but mean
that there are so many businesses that
are dependent on q protective tarfff. that
they may live, that to take away a pro-
tective tarin from them would disturb
the whole business foundation OF the
country. Therefore II is essential that
when We who are charged with authority
as TO the adoption Of laws and the
formation of tariff bills attempt to
amend them. we should know that we
are touching ths business OF the country
and probably affecting its prosperity.
"It II not right that We should treat
the industries Of this country without
ian Intimate knowledge derived from ex-
pert formation as to what the effect Of
those laws will be which we propose to
pass revising the tariff, which SO much
affect the business and the business pros
per!ty OF this country.
Now I am making that argument in
favor OF a tariff board composed OF 'ex-
perts who will give everybody an oppor-
tunity to be heard and then win make
up its mind as an independent quasi
judicial tribunal and make its report to
Congress, so that 1t may understand mat
ters."
Read Several Papers.
The visit of the delegates to the Presl-
dent followed the morning session. at
which an address by John Barrett. dlrec-
tor OF the Pan-American Union. who Is
now In South America. was read to the
delegates. The address covered United
States trade with the Latin-American
countries.
J. E. Shrine. Of Greenville. s. c.. read
a paper on modern mill construction
President George w. Neville. Of the New
York Cotton Exchange. addressed the
Iconyention on the relations between the
cotton exchanges and the cotton manu-
facturers.
A paper on the history Of the cotton
spinning industry of Lancashire, Eng
land. by J. NJ Hause. a commercial agent
of the Department OF Commerce and La
Dor, was read.
The convention viii end to-day with a
meeting beginning at 10 o'clock. when re-
ports will be read and the annual election
of officers will take place.

PEANUT CROP INJURED.
Annual Loss of 100000 Due TO
Insects, Says Report.

Iuhcctss oAgs hcpoEts
II has been estimated that the peanut
Industry In the United States for the year
1910 amounted to sl5.oOo.Ooo. and that about
20 per cent Of the peanuts grown are IN
jured by insects. bringing the estimate Of
annual loss to 100000. Under the direc-
ton Of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
experts in stored-product insect investiga-
tions Of the Bureau Of Entomology are
studying this problem.
Until recently. the peanut was consid-
cred practically immune from insect IN
jury. the growing plants suffering no
noticeable damage. while The nuts are
protected by their shells from the usual
insect enemies OF stored products With
the advent Of the mechanical thrasher
or peanut picker" this injury has greatly
increased. amounting TO as high as %
per cent.
This is due to the tendency Of operators
to feed the nuts too quickly through the
machine. resulting in broken shells. which
AFFORD easy entrance to insect pests. and
to the practice OF piling sacked nuts high
In storage warehouses. and climbing upon
the sacks. thus breaking the shells and
increasing the percentage OF infestation-

STREET BANNERS
CHILLED MENACE
strasburgsr Believes District
Should Prohibit Hang
ing Signs.
ASKS CHAMBER TO ACT.

That the stretching of political and
other banners across streets serves to
both mar the beauty OF the city and en-
danger the lives of persons passing along
such thoroughfares was the opinion ex-
pressed by Joseph strasburger, president
OF the Retail Merchants Association. at
. meeting last night OF the board Of d.
rectors OF the Chamber Of Commerce. OF
which he is a member.
II Believe we should go on record as
disapproving Of this practice. and that
we should request the Commissioners to
prohibit the stretching of such banners
in the future" said Mr.. Strasburger.
That the. banners mar the beauty OF
the city is generally agreed. They, are
also a menace TO both life and property.
Only last night political banner blew
down and broke the plate-glass windows
on a merchants establishment Had this
banner fallen upon a passing pedestrian
there Is no doubt that serious injury
would have resulted. The banners also
serve to frighten horses and cause them
to run away"
Objects to Action.
A point of order was raised by H. C. c.
Stiles, who declared any recommenda-
tion regarding the banners should be
made by the entire Chamber and not by
the directors. President Oyster sustained
Mr.. stiles, and Mr.. Strasburger, accord
| ingly, withdrew his motion. stating he
would bring the matter to the attention
Of the Chamber at the meeting next
week.
President Oyster was authorized to ap-
point a committee of five TO cooperate
with similar committee to be appointed
from the Board OF Trade In urging mer-
chants TO decorate their places OF busi-
ness during the week of the unwilling of
the Columbus Memorial statue, when
about 5000 visitors are expected On the
CITY,
To Investigate Highway.
A committee Of three was authorized
TO Investigate the plan of the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce for building the
Richmond to Washington section of the
proposed Quebec to Miami international
highway. President Oyster was author
lied to appoint three delegates TO the
meeting OF the Persian-American Educa-
tional Society in this city April Is TO %.
John Dolph. chairman OF the special
committee to investigate printing condi-
tions, reported Il Is the sense of the
committee that all Washington mer-
chants should be urged 40 give local
printing estaplishmentsi chance 10 bid

The directors listened with great In
terest to report delivered by Albert

mittee, which explained a new system
of auditing adopted by the Chamber
which surpasses any that have been
tried heretofore.
