GAFFNEY SUSPECT
ALLOWED TO CO
Lieutenant Ryan Fails TO Iden-
tify Man Arrested in
Chicago.

Once more has Lieutenant Patrick
Ryan failed to identify suspect ar
rested at Chicago as the murderer of
Plainclothesman John j, Gaffney.
EARLY this afternoon Chief Corbitt
received the following telegram from
Ryan:
"Steed not the man; will return
home today"
Steed is gunman and burglar.
He is known as Suffering" Steed.
His possible connection with the case
was the result of an investigation
which Ryan ami Lieutenant Harris
made in Chicago in December, when
they went to the Western city to at
temps 70 ilentifY Frank Noonan as
one of the Gaffney slayers.
At this time the local detectives
asked the Chicago police to keep a
close watch for Steed. The suspect
was weil-knowgs<t to the Chicago au-
thorities and his arrest was merely
matter of time. He was in Chi
cago at the time of Ryan's previous
visit, but dropped out of sight be-
fore the Newark detective could
make use of h.e theory that he might
have had something to do with the
killing of Gaffney
Monday Captain Carroll, of the
local detective bureau, received the
following telegram from John j. Hal
pin, in charge of the detective bureau
in Chicago:
Harry Steed, in custody, on sur
render. Send Lieutenant Ryan to
identify, if possible, and wire an
swer.
Ryan left on the 6:S7 train that
night and arrived in Chicago at 1880
last night. He confronted Steed last
night and failed to identify him. Not
satisfied he determined to examine
the gunman's countenance by light
of day, and this morning made an
other attempt to identify him. When
this also failed he notified the local
police that he would return.

TARIFF ON COTTON
IN HEARING TODAY
This Product More important
Than Wool, Flax and Silk,
Democrats Say.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - The
Democratic plan for cutting the tariff
on cotton manufactures, which will
be recommended to the House early in
the extra session of Congress, brought
representatives of the cotton indus
try to the ways and means committee
hearing today. Democratic leaders
hold that cotton bears a relation to
the worlds economic progress more
important than that of wool, silk and
flax combined, and that the American
people pay annually about $200, 900, 900
more for their cotton goods by reason
of the present tariff rates
They contend that no actual loss in
revenue will result from the proposed
legislation, which is Identical with the
cotton bills the Democrats sought to
enact in 1911 and 1912, and that the
revision would reduce the annual cost
Of cotton clothing by more than $50, :
900, 900 The estimated duties under
the proposed revised schedule would
aggregate $1O.59s.0 600 against S13. 3.673 s0t
in 1910 and s12,S59, 032 in 1911. the lat
est available statistics.
Democratic members of the com
mittee believe that the rates provided
in the tentative schedule, the bills of
last year. and the year before, are
more fairly competitive than have
been proposed in any other tariff
measure, and that they would offer
a substantial economy in the cost of
living The Republican nninoritv de-
nies these contentious.
Cotton affects some of the most
powerful industrial interests con-
cerned in the tariff and most of the
big organizations -national associa-
tions and some Of the smaller bodies
were ready today to testify.
