FAILURE TO FIND HAWLEY WILL

ley that the railroad financier may
have died interstate, No will OF his

been able to make no definite state
ment on the subject
1t Is pointed out that it rarely oc-
ours that a man of large fortune dies
without making will, In such case
however, the appointment of an adj
ministrator to care for his estate car

that az administrator appointed by

twice the value of the estate
Should Mr. Hawley's fortune
amount to $4,000 900 or S20000,000,
his administrators. if no will became
evident. would have TO give bonds
of 100000 900 to $40.000.000 1t is
said that the combined surety com
panies of this city could scarcely pro-
vide for bond OF such proportions,
since they are limited to a certain
percentage of their assets.

HAS PROVED ITS VALUE
WORK OF TARIFF COMMISSION
WELL WORTHY OF PRAISE.
In Refusing to Follow Its Advice or
Make Use Of Facts It Has Gath
cred, Democratic Leaders Have
Shown Themselves Unwlse.

Democratic newspapers and Demo-
cratic speakers are pointing to the re-
port Of the tariff commission upon the
cotton schedule as evidence that the
Democratic party has been right In
Its contention for lower duties So
far they are on solid ground. but
what becomes of their notorious dis
position to ignore the tariff commits
sion and starve ..,sat body out OF ex-
istence II they cannot get rid OF 1t
In any other way? And how shall
they justify their attempts to push
forward arbitrary and comparatively
ignorant revisions of other schedules
upon which the tariff commission has
thrown no light. while they hold back
consideration of the wool schedule and
the cotton schedule concerning which
1t has furnished a great mass OF I'm
portant information?
Every word printed or spoken by
Democri which bears witness to the
ability, industry and valuable work OF
the tariff commission, is an Indictment
Of the Democratic leaders who refuse
to follow It's advice or make use OF
the great mass of facts which 1t has
collected and published Every time
Democrat cites the tariff commits
sion as authority for saying that the
duties on certain staples ought to be
reduced he proves that the leaders
and representatives of his party are
altogether wrong in their antagonism
and hostility to the commission.
The truth is that the tariff commits
sion is justifying the hopes and pre-
dictions of its best friends. 1t Is
showing the value of thorough and
scientific investigation of tariff facts
before attempting to act upon great
tariff problems. That Is the business
like. sound and reasonable way to
deal with the entire tariff question
