HOW TO CATCH
 A SPEEDER

There are all kinds of ways to catch and efficient ways is for the policemen to stand on the corners and watch them as they pass, taking their numbers. These are arrested by mail, as Chief Bodeker notifies the offenders to call around and make bond. t5
 But still another method was inaugu- rated yesterday when officers Palmer and Darnell, in charge of the patrol wagon. arrested the negro driver of an automo- the subway under the Terminal station.
 The patrol wagon was coming from Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street and was about middle way in the sub. way when the drivers heard an awful roaring behind them and then the shriek or siren whistle. An automobile shot past them. Officer Palmer. who was driv- ing. turned on the speed and ran beside the other car. Officer Daruell kept his eye glued to the speedometer in the patrol auto and when they got to the light thew saw that the speed was 2S miles an hour. At the mouth of the tunnel the driver was the occupants of the ''pinched'' car insist ed that they were not going in excess of the law. ff
 But Officer DarnelI chung to the fact that the speedometer was correct and tiis make of the machines were the same. even to the speedometers.

Mr. Stanchfieds statement was issued after a conference with the heirs. q | The statement discloses that the finan- cier made will in April, 1903. which re- mained in force until the middle or latter l part of 1909, when Mir. Hawley destroyed it. Another will was later prepared by Mir Stanchield. which, while 1t was mod flied and corrected by MT. Hawley, was never executed.
 "Mr. Hawleys estate has, therefore. passed under tho law provided for cases of intestacy," the statement continues. His failure to execute this subsequent will was doubtless owing to the fact that he had not been apprised his last ill- ness would prove fatal
 The estate, according to MT.

Washington, February ST con- slider the present tariff rates neces- sary to the prosperity of the steel bus mess. and most emphatically I am opposed to any reduction"
 Charles NJ Schwab made the fore going statement before the Senate com mittee today. Mr. Schwab denied he had ever said steel is made as cheaply in the United States as In any other country.
 With the same conditions. he said especially with labor as cheap, we ask no protection. but the labor ac- count weighs heavily against us"
 He declared that without protection he would want no financial interest in the steel business and added he would regard as wasted the 5000. 900 which had been invested in his enterprise. Mir. Schwab admitted that he got less for the steel exported than for that sold in this country. but said that at periods he sold abroad at loss because the average cost of a large production lis less than that of small produc-

New York, February S-One of the probable results of Edwin Hawleys neg lect or purpose to leave no will, it was said here today would be windfall of $20c.0Oo to nephew who had incurred the magnates displeasure by marrying telegraph operator employed by the Southern Pacific railroad.
 Discovery of this outcome was made during a conference between Mir. flaw

 John B. Stanchfield personal attorney for the late E. Iawley. announced this afternoon that all the elder relatives of Mir Hawley have agreed to petition Frank Davis, William P. Hawley and W. S.

SENATOR WORKS URGES THE
 RATIFICATION OF TREATIES

In a way to avoid war they are all most wholly without force of merit" He said the United States govern ment was "puffed up with the power and wealth" and "consumed with a lust for moro power and greater wealth.
 He declared the government could re- move the greatest obstacle to the at tainment of peace and save millions of dollars of unnecessary expenses by sur rendering the additional territory across the sea, acquired by little bet ter than a sham naval battle, followed by course of deceit and intrigue.
 We have held in practical vassal- age," he said, people half civilized and speaking a foreign tongue. We have taken other countries and other peoples with no better reason or ex- cuse, We have no right in law or equity to hold or interfere with the territory and independence of these people,"
 Senator Works advocated an alliance between the great powers to ostracise commercially any nation that went to war and to bind themselves not 10 in- crease their armaments in the future.

 KNEW OF TEST COST SYSTEM

Chicago, February s.-Testimony tending to show that Louis F. Swift, Edward F. Swift, Charles II. Swift and Francis A.

 William G. Hopkins, invoice clerk for the company for II years, testified that the same system was in use today as when he went to work for the concern. He said he had charge of figuring the test cost of beef for 12 years and re- ceiyed his instructions in regard to the allowances for by-products from John NJ. Chaplin, head of the department.
 Arthur F. Rogers, head of the account sales department of Swift & Co.,, said that the weekly summaries on the test

, cost and margins were sent by him to Louis F. Swift. Edwin F. Swift, Charles H. Swift and Francis A. Fowler.
 Lee M. Lester, assistant manager of Swift X Co.'S dressed beef department, testified that he received his instruc- tions from the four defendants who were officers of the company. He said copies of all summaries of test cost, margins and shipments were sent to the four defendants in the form of daily and week ly reports.
 Earlier in the day District Attorney Wilkerson made another unsuccessful at tempt to compare the testimony of John M. Chaplin, an accountant for Swift X Co, with statements made in January 1909. while being questioned by the district attorney.
 Judge Carpenter sustained an objection made by the defense in regard to the form of the question and District Attor- ney Wilkerson did not press the matter further.

 The disagreement is over the Bris- tow amendment retaining the supervi- sion of Congress. and there will be a motion in the Senate to reeede from that provision It is believed that this motion would carry as only ma . iority vote would be required, but there lis no such assurance of the adoption of the resolution after the elimination of the Bristow provision as two-thirds vote is necessary for passage
