TARIFF BOARD PROCEEDED
ON ERRONEOUS THEORY
Nothing In The Report To Justify Any
Change in Bill Passed at Last Ses-
valorem on Raw Wool.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, March 27.-That the
Tariff Board in its' report to Congress
on the wool schedule proceeded upon
an entirely erroneous theory and that
its report was 'untenable' is the con-
clusion of the Democratic members of
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House as set forth in a report
prepared by Representative Under
wood, chairman of the committee, in
connection with the re-ntroduction OF
the wool bill placing a 20 per cent
advalorem duty on raw wool.
This bill, which after slight revision
in conferences last summer, was We
toed by President Taft, who gave then
as his principal reason for exercise of
the veto power that the Tariff Board
had made no report on the subject
Last December the Board reported
and the democratic members of the
Ways and Means Committee, after an
analysis of this report, reintroduced
the old bill claiming that there was
nothing in that report to justify any
| change.
Summarizing the conclusion of the
committee, Chairman Underwood
says:
"A careful and painstakhng analysis
of the wool report of the Tariff Board
dictates conclusions as follows:
"The theory of applying tariff duties
according to the difference in the cost
of production in this and in foreign
countries, upon which the board has
projected and prepared its report, is
entirely erroneous and untenable
Furthermore, if this theory could have
been Systematically and carefully ap.
piled, it would not have afforded trust
worthy results for guidance in prepar-
ing tariff legislation.
"The boards report is fragmentary
and incomplete, and rests on an incor.
rect statistical basis Hence it has nc

City.
TO the Mayor and Board of Com
missioners.
Gentlemen:
1t is generally believed that mu-
nicipal election should be held in the
City of Hattiesburg on the second
Tuesday of December, 1912, for the
election of municipal officers. In-as-
much as it will be your duty to pro-
| vide for holding a municipal eelction
for the election of officers at
such time as the law requires the
same to be held | consider il my duty
to call your attention to the change in
the law in this particular, as appears
under Chapter 204, laws of 1910.
Section 2495 of the Code of 1906 re-
quired that municipal elections should
be held on the second Tuesday of De-
cember, 1906, and every two years
thereafter, and that the officers elec-
ted should hold their offices for two
years. This Section was amended by
Chapter 204, laws of 1910. which
reads as follows:
AN Act to amend Section 3435. of
the Code of 1906, with reference to
extending the term of office of all
municipal officers to be elected by
the people, so that their term of office
shall be for four years instead of two
years.
Section l. Be it enacted by the Leg
islature of the State of Mississippi.
That Section 3435, of the Code of
1906, be amended so as to read as fol-
lows:
Term of municipal officers to be
elected by the people extended from
two years to four years.
3495 (SO3O) the same; When held,
etc.-A general municipal election
shall be held in each city, town and
village on the second Tuesday in De-
cember, A. D., 1910, and every four
years thereafter, for the election of all

ENGINEERS TO TAKE
VOTE ON STRIKE

New York, March 27.-Fifty repre-
sentatives of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers voted here yester-
day to submit to so-called strike vote
the question of increase and standard
ization of wages as refused by the
eastern railroads. 1t will require sew
eral days to distribute the ballots
among the engineers and April 10 has
been set for the date for making pub
lie in this city the result. To call a
strike would require a two-thirds af.
firmative vote.
Grand Chief Stone would not pre-
dict even personal opinion as to the
outcome of the strike vote. He was
told it has been reported that if the
railroads could show that they could
not financially meet the demands for
increased wages that both sides would
join in an attempt to increase freight
rates.
we have maintained all along that
increased freight rates are necessary

MONUMENT shot
down BY VANDALS
Tombstone Over Grave Of jamie Sharp,
is Destroyed by Unknown
Parties.

Louisville, March 27.-The expen-
sive monument over the grave of Miss
Jane Sharp, in the Rural Hill COM
munity, 16 miles from here, was shot
to pieces Sunday night by unidentified
parties. The story created the great
est sensation here of any since the
Sharp-Permenter feud broke out near
ly two years ago. Details are meagre
and the extent of the damage can not
be learned. This monument was
erected with funds secured by popular
subscription from all over the state
following her murder.
The situation in that community be-
tween the two factions is daily becom-
ing more tense and there is much
speculation over the outcome. Just a
week ago, Don Walker, a detective,
was assassinated while at the supper
table. He was shot from the darkness
through window He had gained the
enmity of the Sharp faction by the
arrest of parties in connection with
the murder Of the young girl. These
men proved their innocence and Walk
er was subsequently indicted for sub
ornation of perjury. He was out on
bond at the time of his assassination.
! No arrests have been made for this
crime.
Swenton Permenter, the sweetheart
of Miss Sharp. was convicted and sen
fenced to pay the death penalty for
the girls murder. He secured a new
trial and is still in jail. Walker, the
detective, was employed to help prove
his innocence. From the time he was
granted new trial, matters between
the two factions have grown from
bad to worse

Colonel is Hot in Defeat.

New York, March 27.-Theodore
Roosevelt left late yesterday on his
Western speechmaking tour, protest
ing vigorously against what he de-
clared to be the "scandalous way" the
county machine" was behaving in
connection with the New York county
primary fight, then in full progress.
He called Police Commissioner Wal
do on the telephone from his editorial
offices and protested against the re-
fusal of Mayor Gaynor to afford police
protection to Roosevelt watchers at
the primaries. He said the commission
er promised his interests would be
protected.
There has never been anything
more scandalous," said Col. Roosevelt,
than the way the county machine is
conducting this fight for President
Taft in New York county. They first
threw out all inspectors who were
known to favor my candidacy, and l
have just received word that the
Roosevelt watchers have been thrown
