money. led the detectives. Coroner
Feinberg, and other visitors to his
cell in the Tombs Tuesday to express
the opinion that Schmidt is sane and
that further investigation will develop
that counterfeiting was only one of
his side lines"
They declared It as their belief that
Schmidt is feigning insanity after
carefully thought out plans Of a
master criminal mind.
To Rev. Father Evers, chaplain OF
the Tombs prison, to his attorney and
to other callers, Schmidt admitted his
connection with the fiat In West One
Hundred and Thirty-fourth street,
where detectives found bundles Of imi-
tation $40 gold certificates.
DR.. Ernest Arthur Murct, the den
tist arrested after the raid upon the
counterfeiters' fiat, was held in $4,000
bail on the charge of having in his
possession a revolver in violation of a
state law. Through his knowledge of

NEED TARIFF BOARD.
Proper Revision Must Be Work OF
Experts.
President Taft's Idea 10 Now Approved
by All Who Have Considered the
Work of the Present Democratic
Administration.

It is one of tho extraordinary facts
that a great tariff bill, with its hun
dreds of pages and its thousands OF
items, affecting every detail OF busi-
ness and ultimately reaching every
thing used by the individual, Is a COM
plete mystery to more than nine-tenths
of the people. 1t is thrown together In
haste by men who are not economists
or scientists and 1t is not read even
by half the members Of congress.
But the misplaced commas and the
wrong spelling and the other errors
are just the sort OF trifies that might
make an enormous difference when 1t
all becomes the law of the land. An
error even more serious runs through
the measure. 1t is the letting In free
of certain manufactured products
when duty is imposed on the raw ma
terials from which the manufactured
products are made. This is the glaring
Inconsistency Of the measure.
Every day the fact is more apparent
that the business of tariff making
should be put in the hands OF experts.
Under the Taft administration tariff
board was created to gather correct In
formation on the subject. The Demo
Gratis killed this board by failing to
provide funds for its continuance. In
the making of the present bill the
Democratic leaders have repeatedly
confessed to the inadequacy Of the in
formation on which they had to pro.
coed, The results are shown In the
bill. It is full of common errors and OF
absurd contradictions, and the long de-
lay is due to the making of correc.
tons.

that in the event of Austria attempting

Italy, which probably would occupy
