Fifty per cent Of the talk about
the tariff, which is now troubling
the house, the senate, and the
president, will in a few months
simmer down to just one man
Frank L. Polk-who, it has been
announced from Washington, will
be named collector of customs at
the port of New York by President
Wilson. Fifty per cent of the i'm
portations into the United States
during the last fiscal year went
through New York. In other
words, the total value of imports
was $1,653,264,934, and the value
of those coming through New
York was $S17,945,S0
If he names Polk, the president
will have slapped Tammany Hall.
the democratic organization Of
New York city, and Charles F.
Murphy, it's leader, and leader of
the state democracy. When May
or George B. Mcclellan and Muir
ply fell out, several years ago, the
mayor named Polk as an anti
Tammany president of the civil
service commission. Polk is
lawyer, who has not lately shown
violent antl-l lamInany Ieellng. But
when he was told that the Tam
many leader of the Assembly dis
trict in which he lives claimed him
as member of his organizat tion,,
the prospective collector repudi-
ated it.
For many years the republican
organization of New York city,
shorn of municipal patronage, vir-

from republican presidents
through the collector of customs.

collector would come to them. But

II the women who persist in
wearing wings and plumage of
birds on their heads want to fix
the blame for the additional cost
of feathers this spring they will
find willing victim in Gilbert
Pearson, secretary of the Audubon
society. He has been fighting mil
liners and manufacturers so long
that he doesn't care much who
blames him.
With the passage OF the Mclean
act in the last session Of congress
another blow was struck the
feather industry, and now Mr..
Pearson is watching the effect. He
has done the work which resulted
in this act and in the passage by
many state legislatures of laws to
prevent the slaughter of birds for
ornamentation of millinery. Milli-
ners by the hundreds have attack
ed him and manufacturers by the
score. Some of the latter made
the statement that the rigid en-
forcement of laws advocated by
Mr.. Pearson would throw 10000
persons out of employment. All
this work has been done, Mr..
Pearson. said, with the expendi-
ture of not more than 100000.

URGES NEW CRIMINAL LAWS.
Subject Discussed Before Woman s
Club by Prof. Tufts.

CHICAGO, January 20-Scientific meth
DDS of dealing with criminals were urged
by James II. Tufts. professor Of philoso-
ply of the University of Chicago, in a
talk here last night before a woman's
club.
Our criminal laws must be changed
he said. Crime is a matter of degree,
not question of absolute guilt or inno-
cence. The juvei lie courts have been a
step in the right direction, and all punish
ment should be inflicted with a view to
the conditions that made the crime pos
sible and with the idea of reforming the
offender. In doing this science can be of
great aid
Prof. Tufts dwelt on the effects Of
heredity and environment on the individ-
ual. He expressed the opinion that hered-
ity could be controlled. although he said,
there has not been much advance along
this line by human beings.
