sail no terms for confession were
discussed.
Mr.. Whitman said: 81 hope Becker,
shrewd man, may decide that his
best interests will require him to tell
the truth. If he should do that |
would have to consider carefully what
my attitude should be. While mur-
der is a graver crime than black
mail. it might be that l would decide
in the event of confession to ask
some clemency for BecAef. One OF
ne greatest accomplishments for the
good Of the community would be to
unmask the big blackmailers in the
police department and to abolish for
ever that treacherous system
Lieutenant Becker denied today he
contemplated making confession

Uncharted Menace to Shipping in
Crowded Waters-Aeeident Hsp-
Near Newport, r. |. I

Washington. Aug. 9.-The battle-
shll Nebraska ran on an uncharted
shcal near Newport, r. l., late yes
ter6ay, and was so seriously damaged
that she has been ordered to dry
dock at the Boston navy yard
The flagship Connecticut about the
same time broke her starboard
crank shaft and has been ordered to
Philadelphia for repairs.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus of the At
lartic fleet, has reported to the navy
department as follows:
Considerable damage has been.
done to the Nebraska passing over
al uncharted shoal, four miles west
of Point Judith, R. I. Will prob
ably have to dock the vessel"
The navy department Immediately
ordered the Nebraska to the Boston
navy yard for examination. 1t is be-
lieved the ship has been seriously in
june and it may be necessary to
put her out of commission.
An Investigation will be made i'm
mediately to find the unoharted shoai,
the existence of which in waters SO
crowded with shipping is a great
surprise to naval officers.
The Connecticut accident was not
so serious. 1t resembles that sus-
tanned last week by the battleship
Mississippi. The crank shaft on the
starboard engine broke. At the Phil
adelphia navy yard the Connecticut
will be fitted with new shaft.

Lew RATES OF PAYNE-ALDRicH
BILL WOULD BRING DISASTER
TO HOME INDUsTDIEs.
STANDS BY HIS PLEDGES
First Bill Vetoed Because in Advance
c; Tariff Board Findinss-This, De-
spite of It-President Suggests Low
ering Tariff Where Would % Good.

Washington, Aug. 9.-For the Sec
o l,1 time within a year President Taft
Iotay Tetoed a bill to revise the wool
tariff-schedule K of the Payne-Ald-
rich law,
With a message of disapproval the
president returned to congress the
bill evolved as a compromise between
the house and senate, holding that
its low rates would bring disaster to
home industries He appealed to
congress, however, not to adjourn un-
til il had enacted measure to sub
Stantially reduce unnecessary exist
ing duties" without destroying pro-
lection for the wool industry of the
United States.
The presidents disapproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with sim
ila' vetoes of the steel bill and the
cotton bill. The sugar bill is likely
to be vetoed, as is the excise tax
bi |, the latter probably on the ground
tha, the president believes it uncon-
stitutional.
Stands by His Pledges.
Il shall stand by my pledges to
maintain a degree of protection nee
essary to offset the differences in cost
| of production here and abroad and
will heartily approve of any bill re-
ducing duties to this level" wrote Mr..
| Taft. p,
While the bill vetoed today and the
ore disapproyed last year wera iden-
tiCal in terms, the presidents reasons
differed. He vetoed the former bill
because it had been framed before
the tariff boards report-the latter
because he said it had been framed
with disregard for the boards find
ings.
Rates Are Too. Low.
Most of the rates in the submit
ted bill," wrote the president, "are
50 low in themselves that if enacted
into law the inevitable result would
be irretrievahle injury to the wool
GIT wing industry, the enforced idle.
ness of much Of our wool combing
arc spinning machinery and Of thou
sands of looms and the consequent
driving out of employment of tnou-
sands of workmen."
The bill sent to the white house
imposed an ad valOrem duty of 20
Pc cent on raw wool and on cloths
of 49 per cent. Both rates Mr. Taft
helG were insufficient to protect the
wool grower and the manufacturer.
Passage over Veto Doubtful.
1t was predicted today that the
wool bill might be passed by the
house over Mr.. Taft's veto, but there
was some doubt as to it's fate in the
seIate.
Republican leaders were inclined to
believe that it would fall of passage
there as it did twelve months ago

railroads would drive out all other

NO OPPOSITION FROM ADMINS
TRATroN TO PANAMA CANAL
BILL AMENDMENT.
TO AID MERCHANT MARINE
Such Ships When Engaged in Foreign
Trade Only, Would Pay No Canal
TolIs--Many Ships Would Be Az
fected by Law.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The senate's
an endment to the Panama canal bill
to admit to United States register
American-owned, foreign built ships
engaged in foreign trade only and
pass them through the Panama canal
free of tolls, in all probability will
receive no opposition from the ad-
iristration.
Secretary Nagel is committed to
the idea. In his last annual report
he recommended the passage of a
bill for. the admission of foreign built
ocean steamships to American regis
try to engage solely in foreign trade.
This, he believed, would be the begin
ming of an American merchant ma
rine, extending shipping under the
Urited States flag in trade with South
and Central America and the West
Indies.
The provision, it is said, probably
would not affect transatlantic or
trans-Pacific commerce, as there
would be no incentive for such ships
to assume the obligations of Amerf-
can registry. The right of free pas
sage through the canal, however, it
is said today by officials of the de-
partment of commerce and labor
would probably bring all the lines
engaged in traffic between the coun
tries of the western hemisphere but
flying foreign flags, under the Stars
and Stripes.
The United Fruit company and
the New York and Pacific Navigation
company were cited as instances.
Bill Set for Tomorrow.
With a vote on the Panama canal
bill and all amendments to it set for
TOMORROW, the senate began final
consideration of that measure with a
renewal of the fight against railroad
OWred ships.
The committee amendment proyid-
ing that a railroad owned vessel
might pass through the canal provid-
ed so per cent of its cargo was .des-
tired to foreign. ports, was the chief
subject of discussion.
Control of New England steamship
lines by the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad provoked anoth-
er lively debate between Senator
Poipdexter and Senator Lippitt of

has ever feared to criticise the judicial conduct Of any judge acting within that county, and l doubt not every such judge has nt times received such criticism from them or from some of them.
 As to judges so chosen and so criti- cised, or at least so open to criticism, there cannot we'll be any delusions or illusions on the part Of the bar. Their real estimate of such judge, before whom they have practiced for con siderable period, ought to be reason ably accurate. Whether they talk much or little, they know the thing well.
 Therefore it is that, with the utmost gratitude and the higest appreciation, l accept this address, so beautiful in both literary and artistic expression, as testimonial of the good will and Nothing else could give me greater pleasure or be more lastingly cherish ed by me-"
 The speaker then paid a tribute to the members of the bar. In closing he said
 "1t Is worthy practice by which, after judge Of court of record shall have finished his judicial career, and usually after his life has reached it's end, his portrait is placed upon the walls of the court room of his county where, as such judge, he presided. Too often such portrait is not painted un- til after the death of the subject, and then from a photograph, or at least after he has become an old man, and then inevitably so as to exhibit the weakness and decadence of age. No picture so painted can do justice to any person. Your generous thou ghtfulness has saved me from such possible misfortune, and l feel assured that, If in due time after my death the proper authorities of Westchester county shall be pleased to accept this portrait for the purpose above stated, as 1 shall in my will offer 1t to them, my memory will be signally and most fortunately honored. 1t is great comfort to me to know that after my decease my face from out the painted canvas may still look down upon that place and those scenes which 1 have known so well within the gray walls of the old court ihouse. For three desades and more l have toiled within those walls, and love them today, as l ever shall, from turret to foundation stone.'
 For myself, can ask no higher fame at that time, when this portrait may be there hung and displayed than that the members of the Westchester Bar may then ratify and confirm the commendation of this engraved ad- dress as true unto the end
 l beg, in conclusion, to say to you, and through you to all the members of the Westchester Bar, and to the peo- pie of the county generally, that l am resolved to do my best to deserve at that time such a,judgment.p
