ACTION ON PILOT
CHARGES Is
POSTPONED

After a lengthy and rather warm
discussion between representatives
of the merchants association and the
steamship companies. the board of
hartor commissioners postponed deti-
mite action on the proposed new sche-
dule Of pilot fees pntll its commit
tee has considered the subject more
in detail, receiving reports from the
shipping agents on the displacements
of the vessels visiting this port.
The pilot fee schedule, as prepared
yesterday, provided q graduating
scale, regulating the fee according to
displacement Agents for the lines
possessing the larger class Of vessels
stout1y opposed the system, declar-
sEg It was discrimination against
them in favor Of the freighter class.
On the other hand, those representing
companies which own freighters de-
Ielared the same fee for both classes
would be discrimination against the
freighters, and in favor Of the larger
ships
Doubt also was expressed whether
the commission could obtain accept
able figures en- displacement. whereby
the fees could be fixed without disa-
greement with the shipping concerns,
Among those who attended the com
missions mekting and took part in
the discussok were President George
and committee from that organizas
ton, consisting Of Ed. Towse, G. A..

Now that the National Wholesale
Dry Goods Association has joined
hands with state boards of education
through the country to encourage the
teaching Of dressmaking In the
schools. this work undoubtedly will
receive considerable impetus. Al
though many elementary schools are
teaching dressmaking, there are
many localities where this feature has
not been introduced in the public
schools.
Since the ready-to-Wear industry
has reached its present proportion,
and the quality Of the work has been
so improved that one may buy all
apparel ready-made in the shops, 1t
has relieved the home dressmakers OF
so much work that the teaching OF
dressmaking to the girls has not
seemed so necessary as it did at one
time when girls were expected to
make thir own dresses. Formerly the
education of girl was regarded as
but half completed unless she could
sew and cook, but with the various
demands which were made on girls
time as the years advanced, these
once sD-called accomplishments
are looked upon as being old-fash-
Toned. The pendulum swung so far
to that side that there necessarily
came reaction, and the advance
made by the practically inclined edu-
Gators has made a radical change in
public opinion.
For many years the sale of dress
goods has been greatly reduced by
the sale Of ready-to-wear garments,
and the mparatively small amount
of home dressmaking that has been
done. and bow to increase sales has
been a problem with managers OF
these departments The intention ex-
pressed at the last meeting of the
#Jobbers' Association of dress fabric
buyers to push the teaching of dress
making in the elementary schools is
a far-reaching plan to increase sales
of yard goods, and one that will be
of much benefit to young girls OF the
present time and to future homemak-
eTs.
f The association hopes to make suf-
cient progress with the various state
boards so that the subject may be
presented to the national convention
of educators. which will convene next
year in California.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S TRIUMPH,
Tariff Bill Signed.
A Blow To Protected Interests.

The American people have at last succeed.
ed in defeating the interests and securing
a Tariff framed in accordance with their own
wishes. The Underwood Bill passed
through its final stages ia Congress last FRI
day, and was signed by President Wilson.
For years past American politics have been
dominated by the Tariff question. The de-
mand for a drastic revision of the duties ORR
ginally imposed to protect industries not at
that time suffice ntly developed to face for
eign competition has long been widespre cad
and intense. Other Presidents before Mr..
Wilson had attempted to give effect to it,
but all such attempts had been foiled by the
political influence of the groups of manufac.
turers whose interests were at stake.
When President Wilson cam into office
he had to undertake a task which MANY felt
would be beyond his strength. He has
succeeded, and his success is greeted with
enthusiasm in the United States.
Contrary to all precedent, the Tariff in the
shape in which it has become law is more in
accordance with popular wishes than when it
was FIRST presented to Congress on April 2
Equally contrary to precedent its passage
through Congress has been comparatively
easy. That at the last election the demand
for revision had been stronger than ever was,
doubtless, the main factor in this result. but
our Washington Correspondent has shown
in his kilograms and articles that it would
scarcely have been achieved but for the

Other advices from Washington state that
the Treasury Department has made perlnn-
nent its temporary policy of suspension of the
five per cent discrimination in the Tariff,
Hpon the Attorney-Genernl's opinion that
such discrimination would violate twenty
three treaties and was therefore unenforce-
able, Shipowners will seek by litigation to
force the Treasury to reverse it's decision.
Dispatches from Mexico City state that,
with the Cabinets oval, President
Huerta has issued a formal statement to the
effect that Congress will annul the re-
cent election because voting was impossible
in many places. He reiterates that he would
not accept the Presidency even if rendered
him, on account of the constitutional prohi-
bltiOn, and declares that he is confident the
world will approve of his calling u new cleo
ton, meanwhile continuing his efforts for
the paclticatiOn of the country. This so
clearly ignores the United States, that MI.
Lind has recommended Washington to cease
all communications with President Huerta
and definite action by the United States is
expected.
Advices from London state that the
Chimes" correspondent at Mexico City re-
ports that Englishmen and Americans in
Mexico are unanimous 10 considering the
United States policy dangerous to for
eigners, who believe that its meddling
and muddling are designed to force a
war, because President Wilson obstin-
ately disregards the recommendations
by competent observers of the disastrous
effect OF the United States policy upon for
eign interests.

MISLEADING ADVICE
DENOUNCED
REPRESENTATIVE SIMS WOULD
HANG MEN WHO ADVISE PRES
IDENT TO DO WRONG.

Washington, Jan. 11.-"When men
privately, under the guise of friend
ship, mislead the king or president, in
order to obtain an end other than pub
lie welfare, they ought to hang" Rep
resentative Sims of Tennessee de-
clared in the u today, upon the
conclusion of the reading of an edi-
torial regarding the cabinet to be Sc
lected by President-elect Wilson.
Mr.. Sims obtained the loor during
the consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill and sent to the desk
an editorial lauding the president
elect for the stand taken in the mat
ter.
Under the English law, they did
not punish the king for any wrong
but they punished his ADVISERS Rep
resentative Sims added. He said
when he rea this in his boyhood
days he thought it a great outrage,
but since had concluded it was wise.
Mr.. Sims continued:
"Those who get next to the king
and next to the president, who are en-
trusted with his confidence, and who,
instead of telling him the plain truth
as they see it, color it so that he does
not see the facts, but views them
through colored glasses and there
fore does wrong through misinforma-
ton. ! ann in favor of hanging the
advisers instead of furnishing the
president.
In the last 100 years good pres
idents have done that which they
would not have done had they known
the facts. When a man Is appointed
to a cabinet office, he ought to be a
man of ability, ought to forget him
self, forget his friends and enmies,
and tell the president the plain truth"
Representative Sims declared the
country had confidence in Governor
Wilson'S Judgment to do the right
thing. During his dissertation on the
cabinet. Representative Sims was
asked by Representative Cannon if
he a in mind any one who would
fill the bill. Mr.. Sims replied In the
negative.
