players who had been arrested took part
in IT, The fact that the new Sunday law
specifically prohibited professional or
commercialized games was made the basis
OF the claim that the players should be
declared guilty. The jury took only sim
gle vote on the question.
This is the FIRST test case pushed through
an appellate court In Connecticut al

They reached no conclusion In regard 10

they agreed each could render assistancs

TARIFF ON ART CALLED
STAMP OF PROVINCIALISM

means simply the highest form OF hanat.
work. that artistic work is work don. 1,
more beautiful. In a more skIlful N.
telligent and workmanlike way, ard ,h..
anything which increases the beauty =,
the product OF labor increases its com
mercial value.
1.-THE most enlightened nations Of ru.
rope learned long ago that nothing nav.
better, even from the purely Commerce.,
standpoint, than the cultivation OF Arr
France, for instance, reaps an enormou,
economic return on the money spent in
that way. AS result OF the enlightened
policy, long pursued, by that country
toward art, the taste Of the people IA,
been SO elevated that its effects are gen.
orally apparent in French manufactures
of all kinds Thus a worldwide and most
profitable market is opened to them
which fact accounts, In no small degree
for the wealth and prosperity OF the ma.
ton.
"In New York, where the effect Of the
importation Of foreign works OF art has
been most pronounced, an immense de-
mand has arisen for all sorts OF artistic
productions Artistic workers In bronze,
Iron. marble faience. glass, textiles, ETC.,
can always find employment here at the
highest wages. But the imported laborer
nonopolizes this interesting and lucrative
field, and the American boy must content
himself with the drudgery Of the shops.
1T has been said that we are the most
provincial Of people, and 1t is legislation
OF this sort which gives color 70 the In.
dictment To raise the general standard
NJ taste is a slow and difficult process.
and It is now high time that We set
about IL in earnest. The placing Of a
tax on the importation OF art Is not the
best way to begin"

NATION TO HOLD SURPLUS
Reserve Board Members to Rep
resent Different Sections of
Country-Amendments In
formally Adopted.
rFrrn The T,rrne Bureau. !

Washington. July 11.-Additional amend
ments to the administration currency re-
form bill were decided upon at further
conference OF the majority members of
the committee to-day, and Chairman
Glass was requested to rewrite the text
of the changed sections. The amend
ments were informally adopted, pending
Mr.. Glass's report of the revised portions
of the bill The majority members decid-
ed to change the bill so as to provide;
That the four members of the Federal
Reserve Board named by the President
tin addition TO the two Cabinet officers
and the Controller of the Currency shall
he selected with reference to geograph-
zeal lines, a desire having been expressed
20 give various sections of the country
representation.
That these four members shall devote
their time exclusively TO the work of the
Federal Reserve Board, and may not
have business side lines
That the surplus fund of the regional
reserve banks, in excess of dividends ana
up TO % per cent Of the paid-in capital
shall be available for protection against
losses of the regional reserve banks ana
that this surplus fund, up to 20 per cent
is 10 belong to the government, instead OF
10 the banks as at first proposed Inc
bank may retain this surplus whne IN
business as a virtual insurance fund,
but the surplus is to go to the government
If the bank withdraws from the regional
reserve system.
That stock in the regional reserve
I'D
and not at book value, os the bill no"
provides.
That stock of federal reserve banks IN
the hands of stockholders shall not De
subject 10 taxation. The Federal Reserve
Board is deprived of the power OF can
ceiling the membership OF state BANKS
and this proviso is TO be stricken out
After some discussion the committees
agreed on the proposed salary of $l0WO
q year for each member of the Feuerai
Reserve Board.
The Democratic members did not agree
upon the language of the changes maze
to-day. but went on record n favor OF
the principles enumerated. At the con-
ference Of the Democrats on Monday,
Chairman Glass will submit the text OF
the proposed amendments.
In comparison with former sessions. the
conference Of the Democratic members
to-day was satisfactory and fairly har-
monious.
Probably the most important change
made in the bill to-day was the provision
that all sales and purchases of stock CT
the regional reserve banks shall be on the
par and not the book value OASIS ana
the proposed change in the ownership oil
the surplus fund from the banks to the
government The original draft OF the sec
ton relating 10 those surplus funds was
decided TO be inequitable, and the chanGe
was made to eqdalize the rate Of earnings
of all the banks in the regional reserve
association. no matter what length OF
time they remained in the association nor
what the book value of its stock.

washington. July l1.-As reported to the
Senate the tariff bill contained compare
tlVely few changes from that which was
reported three weeks ago To the Demo-
cratic caucus by the Finance Committee
majority. Among these were few
changes In rates and the free listing OF
anthony ore, blankets costing less than
20 cents pound. cast iron pipes OF every
description, raw furs. gunpowder and
few other commodities. swelling the long
list OF articles free listed by the commit
tee previously
One amendment not heretofore an
nounced makes zinc bearing ore OF all
kinds dutiablo at La per cent. an In
crease from 10 per cent over tho House
bill.
Another amendment was made neces-
sary because Of changing the date from
January /, 1913, to March !. 1913, from
which incomes shall he computed for the
income tax for first year. The income
tax could not be assessed for January and
February because such tax did not be-
come constitutional until February %,
1913.
AS IL goes to the Senate. the bill retains
the principal provisions of the House
measure and those particularly advocated
by President Wilson. free raw wool and a
provision that sugar shall be free May /.

CAPTAIN POTTS IGNORED
IN LOUISIANA REPORT
Chief Engineer and MaChInISt
Censured in Findings of
Admiral Badger.

washington, July ll.-Rear Admiral
Badger. commander in chief OF the Al
lantic feet, has sent to the Navy De-
partment the report and findings OF the
board Of inquiry which investigated the
accident 20 the battleship Louisiana
last week. when the blowing off OF Il
valve bonnet put the ship I'm danger
The accident has received much at
tention because the vessel was under
the command Of Captain T. VI. Potts.
who had just been Involuntary re-
tired. The newspaper accounts gave
high praise 10 Captain Potts's conduct,
saving that he had shown great efici-
ency after the accident and had practi-
cally saved the ship.
Admiral Badger has nothing what
ever TO say about Captain Potts.
Neither has the board which made the
Investigation. The board found that
the valves and bonnets had been
Stacked back too far and that the work
undertaken was not properly super
yised.
The Job was 81 dangerous one, says
the report, and suitable precautions
against accident were not taken. After
the accident everything necessary TO
safeguard the ship was done.
II appears that Lieutenant T. w.
Sterling, the chief engineer, did not
even know that the work which re-
suited in the accident was being under
taken. This officer and Machinist Lo-
well have been admonished for their
dereliction. No further action will be
taken.
