TARIFF Benefit
HELD DELUSI0N
Wilson, in New York Speech,
Declares Face of Advan-
tage Is a Mask"
COVERS GRINNING JESTS
Governor Foss Says 1t Has Taken
Him 20 Years to Unearth
Frauds and Injustices.

New York, May 13.-"The face of
general advantage worn by the tar
if scheme Is a mask and many pri-
vate jests grin behind it." declared
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey in an address Saturday night
op "Tariff Make-Believe," at a din
ner of the Reform club, where he and
other speakers, including Senator
Thomas Gore of Oklahoma, former
Assistant United States Treasurer
Charles S. Hamlin and Congressman
Henry George, Jr., united in holding
the tariff issue up as chief among
all issues of the present campaign.
LAWS BENEFIT FEWER
To-day the whole scene has chang
ed into one OF a monstrosity of de-
velopment," he continued, "and laws
body are now plainly seen to re-
dound to the advantage of a smaller
and smaller number of persons in
whose hands the larger masses OF
capital have steadily accumulated"
The governor favored dispassion-
ate dealing with the tariff question
and advised against "any changes SC
drastic or so rapid as to endanger the
very fiber of our industrial system, .
| but, he said near the close of his ad-
dress. I'VE should address ourselves
to the question of the tariff with g
determination, first, to strip it of al
make-believe, and then, calmly, pru
IDENTIFY, but without hesitation o.
fear, deal with the facts themselves.
NAILS THE FRAUD.
Calvin Tompkins, president of the
Reform club, who presided, said the
club ought to make tariff reform
''as typical of all privilege-the dom
inant issue of the campaign to tn,
exclusion of picturesque personals
ties and fugitive illusions"
A letter from Governor Foss o
Massachusetts was read, in part, a
follows. 1T has taken me 90 year
of practical business experience as
manufacturer and a director of cor
porations to unearth the fraud AM
injustice of our present increasing
tariff system"

Commerce Commission
Clerk Tells of Snare That
Caught Archibald
ACCORDING TO BOLAND
Alleges Bribe of $500 Was So
licited by Court While Suit
Was Pending.

Washington, May 13.-When the
Archibald hearing was resumed today,
Allen B. Cockrell, confidential clerk
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, testified. Cockrell prepared the
memorandum on the charges against
Judge Archibald which were submit
ted by Commerce Commissioner
Meyer.
The memorandum, which was
read into the record, set forth some
years ago, the Marion Coal company,
owned by Boland brothers, had as
manager a man named Peel, who
was discharged and filed suit for
breach of contract.
A demurrer was filed in the case
and w. H. Boland declared that E.
]. Williams came to him with $500
note signed by Judge Archibald, ask
ing him to discount it. Boland re-
fused to discount it and the demur-
rer was not sustained and the case
is still pending.
LAID A TRAP.
Boland was much aroused and ''de-
termined to trap" Archibald in some
deal which would unfit him for the
bench. Boland thereupon, according
to the memorandum, set this trap
with the Katydid culm bank trans.
action with the Erie railroad as the
vehicle, and Edward J. Williams as
the agent in the plan. All this was
while the ''lighterage" case was
pending in the commerce courrThe
negotiations were carried out until
Boland was exposed to government
4officials.
HAD A LONG STORY.

years fight for his rights" SAID
Cockrell, that his narrative requir
ed several hours to tell, but in the
memorandum l merely set down the
salient points"
