The Tariff Revision Humbus

The tariff revision situation, so far
as 1t applies to wool and woolens is
something like this
Leader Underwood, of the House
democrats. has announced that he is
pleased with the report OF the tariff
board and promises to offer bill
which the president can sign and be
consistent with himself and party.
Former Chairman Payne, now min
ority leader on the committee, who
is also pleased with the report of the
tariff board is at work on bill that
he will offer as a substitute for the
democratic measure.
Senator Smoot, the wool expert Of
the Senate standpatters. has declared
that he Is very well satisfied with the
report OF the tariff board. He thinks
that he can frame a bill based on
the facts assembled by the board and
the presidents recommendation to
please the American people.
Senator La Toilette has announced
that after making careful study of
the tariff board report on wool and
manufactures OF wool he will intro
duce a bill to revise schedule X.
President Taft has indicated that
he would sign the right sort OF a
bill, but he will have to be the Judge
OF what is the right sort Of a bill"
In order to be strictly accurate. II
is necessary to add that the una
bridged report OF the tariff board on
wool and woolens, some 1000 pages
long, has not yet been printed In
full and has not been read, as Il Ger.

being. unless exception be made OF
the members OF the tariff board H.
self. Under these circumstances Mr.
Underwood announces that time is
so precious that the iron and steel re
vision bin will be introduced right
away and that wool will be reserved
for consideration after the boards re
port has been digested. There has
been no report whatever by the tarin
board on the iron and steel schedule
but Mr.. Underwood doubtless does
not feel the need OF any. He will see
that the tariff is reduced on the prin
ciple that one guess is as good as an

showed that about $500 visitors were
received. Mrs. Taft remained In the
receiving line for an hour and 40
minutes. From the moment when
the first of the diplomatic corps was
received, soon after IL o'clock, the
line moved steadily through the
White House for more than three
hours. It stretched Tor blocks around
the White House grounds.
Custom has not changed the New
years reception in any particular for
a decade, and yesterday the big func
ton was carried out In accordance
with the set program of the years.
there were new faces In the line and
many old ones we're missing, but as a

Following the diplomats, the presl-
dent received the supreme court and
other federal judges, government of
ficials OF all ranks, senators and rep

navy, and various patriotic societies
/ Last In the line, according to custom

AERoPLANE DROPS INTO OCEAN
Aviator Harry N. Atwood Gets Icy
Bath of Point Of Pines.

Bath on Point OF zines.
Point of Pines, Me-, Jan. 2.-When
but few hundred yards from the
Point of Pines at the start OF his
flight to Portland, Me-, yesterday,
Harry N. Atwood met with an acci-
dent and fell into the Icy water with
his hydro-aeroplane. He crawled up
on the top of his machine and waited
for a boat to come to his assistance
AS the boat drew alongside the part
ly submerged aeroplane the the ma
chine sank in 10 feet Of water and
Atwood was lifted into the boat. Al
though he was unlnjured by the acct
dent, Atwood decided that it would
be impossible for him to make the
fight to Portland harbor yesterday.
Quite a crowd of people had as
sembled to watch the start OF the
1O0-mile journey through the air
When all the arrangements had been
completed and everything was in
readiness for the beginning of the
flight the engine was started and the
hydro-aeroplane started to skim over
the surface of the harbor, with At
wood at the helm.
AS Atwood attempted to leave the
surface and turned into the wind a
little water struck the magnetic of the
machine, and the engine stopped i'm.
mediately. Then, the aviator, in an
attempt to maintain his equilibrium
tried to head the machine into the
wind again AS he did so the ruddeI
of the hydro-aeroplane struck the
water and the machine collapsed At
wood climbed on top of the aeroplane
and looking toward his friends on
shore waved his hat toward them.
AS the machine was seen to col
lapse those on shore rushed for boats
and in a very few moments seyera
boats we're headed in his direction
They came none too soon, for as the
nearest one came up TO the partly
submerged aeroplane. II sank from
view and Atwood was pulled into on'
of the boats.

BENNINGTON, VT, JAN 8, 1912

Judge William Gather Hook of
Kansas, who appears to be the pres
idents choice as the late Justice Har-
lans successor, was warmly Endorsed
by Senator Bristow and other Kan
sas progressives until they heard that
representatives of the railroads had
recently been in Washington to urge
Judge Hooks promotion. The pro
gressives are now very suspicious.
They may and they may not vote for
his confirmation, in case the presi-
dent should nominate him. Judge
Hooks record is as good as ever, but
can a jurist for whom the railroad in
terests say a single favorable word
be trusted? Obviously the railroad
attorneys should have known enough
to stay at home, If they really want
ed Judge Hook to be elevated to the
United States supreme court
Springfield Republican.
On the theory that man is known
by the company he keeps, the people
have a right to be suspicious Of
Judge Hook He may be all right in
spite of his surroundings for some
men are, but it is a fair sample of
President Taft's unfortunate propen-
sity to injure himself by his acts.
When he might have gained strength
and prestige by the appointment of
Frank Kellogg, he goes and arouses
further suspicion and distrust by the
appointment of a corporation lawyer
whose associations, connections and
past record all indicate that, while
an able man and man of personally
high standing, he is more than like
ly to be on the corporation side-not
because of any intentional bias but
because his education has been on
that side.

CENTRAL CAN SELL RUTLAND
Court Denies Injunction to Dlssatls-

New York, Jan. L. Judge Noyes
denied yesterday TO James NJ, Hun
newell, stakeholder in the Rutland
Railroad Company, an injunction re-
sraining the New York Central from
transferring to the New York. New
Haven and Hartford its shares in the
Rutland. He also refused to appoint
receivers for the Rutland. At the
same time the court said that Mr..
Hunnewell may. under fixed condi-
tons, renew his application.
In discussing the request for TEN
porary injunction the court points out
that If it appears that Mr.. Hunnewell
can obtain satisfaction without the
retention OF the shares by the New
York Central temporary Injunction
should not be issued.
Mr. Hunnewell complained that the
New York Central, as majority share
holder of the Rutland had mismanag-
ed its affairs and diverted traffic to
its own lines. Judge Noyes points
out that the primary relief that Mr..
Hunnewell needs is an accounting of
all the moneys, funds, and property of
the Rutland lost or wasted, decree
for the amount found to be due to
the Rutland. and an injunction
against the continuance OF the wrong.
