MANY TITANIC SUITS WILL
 BE BROUGHT ON THIS SIDE. Lawyers Decide After the British Boards Finding is Announced.

New York, July S1.-Many New York lawyers who have been awaiting the report of the English commission of inquiry into the Titanic disaster before proceeding with filing suits for damages against the White Star line began to draw up their complaints yesterday after the opinion of Lord Mersey as chairman of the commis- sion was made public
 The report had been awaited by these attorneys before taking action because they thought that probably the report would contain sweenins findings of negligence against the steamship line, Managing Director Is- may and Captain Smith, which would give claimants against the line a bet ter cause for action in EngIand than in this country. Lord Mersey's opin- ion disabused them of this idea. and they will now file suits in this country and rest upon the findings of the con gressional inquiry to sustain their charges of negligence.

CONGRESS MAY DELAY
 OPENING OF CANAL. Senator Brandegee Hindered by Dila- tory Tactics of Statesmen.

Washington, July S1-Unless con- gress takes action to provide for the operation of the Panama canal at the present session, President Taft and Secretary of War Stinlson believe that it will be practically impossible for the Army Engineers to keep their promise and open the ''big ditch" to the ships of the world next year.

WILSON ON TARIFF.
Believes That Revision of Schedules
 Should be Gradual.


 Sea Girt. N. J.. July S1.-Revfsion Of the tariff should not be made at one sweep, but should be gradual and thorough, in the opinion of Governor Wilson, announced today. The gover- nor so declared in his first discussion Of the question for publication since he wrote his speech of acceptance, af- ter long conference with Representa- tive Redheld of Brooklyn, whom he considers one of the best informed men in the country on the tariff.
 We are all agreed on that" tho governor said, when interviewers asked him if his views coincide with those of Mfr. RedfeId on a gradual reduction of the tariff. T find MT. Redheld a remarkably interesting man Most people that talk tariff talk general principles, he talks facts. He Is manufacturer and has sold goods ell over the world. so that he knows what he is talking about
 After the conference, MT. Redfield told the reporters that he and the gov ernor had talked on three topics-the tarii, the trusts and the scientific training of young farmers, as a means of lowering the high cost of living.
 We talked of theneed of a general downward revision on almost every EcnedUe m me Lar1fs MT. Redheld said. The revision should be thor ough, but should be made by degrees.
 Whseould make progress slowly, in my opinion, instead of trying to clear too much at one jump. l think the governors views are clear and steady and that he has no thought of acting rashly or hastily. It is my opinion that the governor believes that the government should first establish it's own policy so clearly that it can be readily understood instead of being misinterpreted"
 Governor Wilson's speech of accept ance. which he left Sea Girt to write ten days ago, is not yet quite ready for the printer. The governor revised it In typewritten form tonight To- morrow 1t is expected 1t will be put in type.

 Month, at least

New York. July s1-There has been murder a day in Greater New York during the month of July, accondiue to statistics obtained on this, tho last day of the month, from the hozuicide bureaus and district attorneys i'm the five boroughs. In the Borour-hs of Manhattan and the Bronx alone there were 23 homicides, including the sfoot - ing yesterday of James verrelia, pro- prietor of the Cafe Dante. who, the police believe, was killed because ha had betrayed "Dago Frank Cirosiof, one of the supposed mirrderers of Her. man Rosenthal. Queens. for some roa- son, dragged through the month with out a single murder.
 It may be worth mentioning for pur- pose of comparison that for ali f1 months of last year in the entire met- ropoaftan district of London there were only IS murders.
 In the extraordinary number of crimes in Manhattan and the Bronr are not included a number of violent assaults in which the victim fg ntNf alive and may recover. It does in- clude cases where murder was obvious or where the circumstauces of death were suspicious, though the assailant could not be found.
 In Kings county, according to John M. Perry, an assistant district attor- ney, six killings had been reported to the bureau of homicides by the end of last week.
 'The figures for July" said he. ''have not yet been completed, because. For one thing, some indictments are pending, and in some cases inqiiests have not yet been held to determine the circumstances of death. But it has been the busiest month [ eyer knew this office t0 have"
