grees. We should make progress slow
ly, in my opinion, instead of trying
to clear too much at one jump. We
want to reform the tariff, but we do
not want to do more harm than good.
Business men have money invested in
their plants machinery and stock and
this money cannot be turned over like

quickly, manufacturer slowly. The
work need not be less thorough if
done by steps instead of by a single
leap. | think the Governors views
are clear and steady and that he has
no thought of acting rashly or hastily.
"The Governor has his own views
as to thoroughness and moderation in
dealing with the trusts. We talked
considerably about them. 1t is my
opinion that the Governor believes the
government should first establish it's
own policy SO clearly that it can be
readily understood.
Business men and lawyers and ev-
erybody else have been divided as to
what the Sherman antitrust law really
means. What this law means should
be established clearly, then 1t should
be enforced impartially."

Seagirt, N. j., Aug. 1.-Revision of

sweep, but should be gradual and thor

son announced last night in his first
discussion of the question for the pub
lie since he wrote his speech of ac-
ceptance, and after long conference
with Representative Redfeld of Brook
lyn, whom he considers one of the best
informed men in the country on the
tariff.
1--WE are all agreed on that" the
Governor said when interviewers
asked him if his views coincided with
those of Mr.. Redfield. II found Mr..
Redfield remarkably interesting man.
Most people that talk tariff talk gem
eral principles; he talks facts. He
knows so many facts about the tariff,
he is a manufacturer and has sold
goods all over the world, so that he
knws what he is talking about"
After the conference. Mr.. Redfield
told reporters he and the Governor
had talked on three topics-the tariff,
the trusts and the scientific training
OF young farmers as a means of lower
ing the high cost of living. On the
tariff, he says, the Governors views
conceded with his own.

Lieutenant Becker ten days before he
actually met his fate, and that the
plot failed because the underworld
thugs selected to do the murder lost
their nerve at the last moment, was

ney Whitman yesterday afternoon by

plot with Becker.
The two men gave but little addi-
tional information regarding the 81
100000 fund which it is alleged the
illegal resorts paid for police protec-
ton, but the district attorney believes
the information given has strength
ened the case against Becker.
Reports that "Dago Frank Cirofici,
charged with being one of the actual
slayers of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, was about to make a state
ment telling all he knew about the
killing, were circulated last night. The
accused's attorney made no objection
to having his hearing before the cor

Cirofici will be arranged. This lent
strength to the reports that statsz

New York, Aug. 1.-Rumors of fur
ther confessions in the sensational
Rosenthal murder and police spoils
system followed the appearance before
the grand jury this morning Of "Dago
Frank" Cirofici and Shapiro, the chat
feur and Joint owner of the murder
car. District Attorney Whitman said
Cirofici was positively identified as
one of the men who shot Rosenthal.
Whitman said he is going slow with
the investigation, but summed up de-
velopments today as follows; "The
intimate relations between Becker
and Rosenthal, their quarrel, Rosen-
thal's fear of Becker, the accusations
against Becker, the killing itself, the
meeting of Becker and Rose after the
killing, all point to one thing"
Reported Confession Proved Erroneous
The report tht "Dago Frank" had
confessed proved erroneous. He and
Shapiro were taken to the district at
torney's office rather than to the
grand jury room, where they were
confronted by three witnesses who
positively identified them. Shapiro
had already confessed his part and the
identification today was merely formal
confirmation of his story. "Dago
Frank" was identified as passenger
in the automobile.

Antone Leverone was fined s10 in the New London police court Tues day for assaulting Thomas F. Morton, newspaper correspondent, in Golden street, in New London. on the after noon of July Is. Leverone appealed to the court of common pleas and gave bond of $100. The case had previ- ously been continued from July 23.
 Attorneys Tanner and Geary. ap- bearing for Leverone demwred to the complaint, and Proscueting Attor- ney Cronin joined in the demurrer. Morton claims that LeverOne struck him. twice; broke his glasses and watch and tore his clothes.
 Attorney Geary said that Leverone had been more sinned against than shining" that he had practically no redress as Morton had no property to levy an execution on, and that no man ought to be given the right to say what he wants to say about another without fear of punishment. He claimed that Leverone had provoca- tion in the articles written by Morton, and subsequent articles by Morton showed that he was warranted.
 Prosecuting Attorney Cronin said he had investigated and that he had found the obnoxious story of condi- tions in Leverones saloon was sub stantially correct and that Mortons article was accurate.

The campaign comes to an end today, be- ing wound up with a great meetini enlivened by band concert at Ocean Beach, New London.

A large num- Der have been held in halls in the quiet conservative old towns of New London county. towns such as Leba- non, Hanover Stonington and Mystic. These meetings have been attended by the residents of these townships, and the case for woman suffrage has been laid before these representatives of good old New England families as a case which requires only the representation of good convincing argument to be as- sured of success.
 The shore resorts have needed an- other kind of treatment. At such places as Mantle, Crescent Beach, Oswagat- chui and Pleasure Beach it has been necessary to appeal to a crowd of pleasure seekers, and here more lively and picturesque methods have been most valuable A third kind of audi ence was found In the factory towns, such as Baltic and Jewett City where open air meetings were held near the factories, and where the workers

WHAT IS KILLING
 THE CHESTNUT TREES. Government Investigation of the In sect Enennies-chestnu Borsr the Most Destructive.


 The importance of having the best information that can be secured on the subject of insects in their re1a- ton to the chestnut led the secretary of agriculture to project an extensive investigation through the branch of foreest insects of the bureau of ento- mology.
 General investigations since 1893 have shown that more than 450 spe- cies of insects inhabit the chestnut. While all of these are not destruc- tive, some are especially so One, the so-called two- lined chestnut borer, Is directly responsible for the death Of more timber, perhaps, than all the oth- CTS combined. This is a small elon- gated beetle which flies in May and June and deposits eggs on the bark ot living and dying chestnuts, oak, beech and ironwood in the southern, middle and eastern stats. The elongate, slen- der larvae mine in the inner bark and outer wood in such a manner as to girdle the trees. When they attained their full growth they transform to the adult stage in the outer woor or bark. to emerge the following spring and repeat the process. Investiga- tions have shown that it can be con trolled by disposing of the infested trees in such a manner as to destroy the bark on the main trunks during the fall and winter months.
 In order that investigations may be extended in all sections where the chestnut grows, owners of timber should report to the Bureau of Ento- mology as to the healthy or unhealthy condition of their timber. Informa- ton is especially desired from locali- ties representing the most northern, western, southern and southeastern parts of it's distribution, namely in the north from Maine, New Hampshire and New York, in the west from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennes- see; in the south from Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and in the southeast from South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
