the Cape of Good Hope into the Allan

matter of doubt and conjecture. This
buoy is said to hold the worlds record
for drifting the longest distance. 1t

RAILROAD MAY
 ASK CONTINUANCE
Motion Filed by New Haven Road Counsel Likely to be Argued In Superior Court Tomorrow.

Am effort by counsel for the railroad to further delay the proceedings against the four New Haven road of ftcials is indicated by the motion for continuance which, it is reported, will be presented to Judge Gardiner Greene in the Superior court tomorrow after noon. Several motions will be filed by counsel for the corporation and it is said that one to obtain another con tinuance is among them.
 Clerk Haviland Of the superior court stated this morning that the mo- tione had not yet been filed with him. It is understood, however, that a. syn opsis of the motions will be given to Judge Greene before court convenes tomorrow. The motion to get another continuance will be strongly opposed by States Prosecuting Attorney Jud- son who feels that the cases have all ready been delayed enough.
 That the legal battle will be hard fought is indicated by the fact that Attorney Homer s. Cummings, Of Stamford, counsel for the railroad com William B. Boardman and s. D. Bow CTS, of this city. States Attorney Judson was to have been assisted by City Attorney Pullman but the latter Is ill with rheuna tisrn at his home and will not be available at least when the trial starts. The states at torney has arrived home from his va cation trip and is ready for the trial.
 The four officials who are charged with manslaughter for alleged spon- sibiIity for the Westport wreck are: former president Henry J. Horn, former general superintendent B. R. Pollock, general superintendent Clay ton N. Woodward and maintenance engineer Lawrence J. Carnna1t.
 The jurors have been summoned to appear Wednesday so it is evident that the actual trial will not begin tomor- row. The court will convene at 2 P. M tomorrow.

 Protection to the farmer would be cut throughout by more than fifty peI cent. in an effort to reduce the cost of food.
 Protection to the steel and impIe- nent manufacturer would in turn bs cut by fully as wide a margin.
 Heaviest reductions fall upon food stuffs, agricultural products, woo1en and cotton clothing.
 The free wool proposal, backed by President Wilson and accepted by the House committee is expected to pro- yoke a severe fight within the demo- cratic ranks of both Houses. It had not become clear today whether the democratic opponents of free wool and free sugar in the Senate would be able to force compromise on one or both these provisions.
 The decision to make a gradual re- duction in the sugar tariff was reach ed by the president and the House committee after Louisiana cane growers declined to accept a compro- mise that would have established a one cent per pound tariff for three years. with free sugar in 1916.
 The income tax, which will trans fer indirect taxes levied through the tariff into direct tax upon the in comes of individual citizens and cor porations, exempts all sums below S4,-
 
 amount will pay one per cent tax up to $20, 900, two per cent from S2o,0o0 to S5oo0O; three per cent from $5o,- 900 to $1O0,OO0 and four per cent above that figure.
 The present corporation tax, levying one per cent on corpora ton incomes above $5,OoO, would be retained as part of the income tax.
 To encourage trade with foreign countries, the bill would reverse the maximum and minimum provision of the present tariff law. The new tar if rates would be the maximum tar If, ai1d the president would be giv- en authority to negotiate reciprocity treaties and make concession to ooun- tries that grant favors to American exports.
 In a statement accompanying the bill, Chairman Underwood said the measure would, in the opinion of it's makers, revise the tariff '"to a basis of legitimate comp petition, such as will afford a wholesome Influence on our commerce, bring relief to the peo- pie in the matter of the high cost of living and at the same time work no detriment to properly conducted manufacturing industries."
 +'In its tariff revision work the committee has kept in nind,'' he said "the distinction between the necessi- ties and the 1uxuries of life, reduc- ing the tariff burdens on the neces- stiles to the lowest points commen- sura'te with revenue requirements and asking the luxuries of life bear their proper proportion of the tariff respon- abilities.

EIGHTEEN ARE DROWNED OFF OREGON COAST Life Savers Succeed in Rescuing Only
 Four Beacon Fires Encourage Inl- peTiIIed Men Who Perish When Stranded Bark GOI-
 IapseS

Bay City, Ore, April 7-E1ghteen men were drowned, 1t was learned, to- day, as the result of the capsiZing, yesterday, of the German bark Mimi, which had just been hauled off the beach at North Spit, Neha1em Bay. where she had been since February 13, when she went ashore. After fu- tile efforts for nearly 24 hours against a heavy wind and sea, the 1ifesavin6 crew from Garriba1di station succeed ed, at 5 o'clock, this morning, in sav- ing Captain Charles Fisher, of Port land, president of the Fisher En- gineering Corporation, Captain J. Westphal master of the Mimi and two sailors.
 All day Sunday and last night the 22 men aboard waited for aid, high waves beating over the vessel and making 1t impossible for the lifesav- ing crew to rescue them.
 Scores of men patrol1ed the beacI. all night. Fires were kept alight and everything possible was done to let those on board know they had not been abandoned.
 For week a contracting company had been at work endeavoring to warp the Mimi from her position on the beach. Virtually all of her ballast had been removed to tighten her and owing to this fact is attributed the disaster.

COLUMBIA CAN LEAD
 WHOLE WORLD TO PEACE

Philadelphia, April 7-America alone can dissolve the tremendous arma ments of Europe and turn the na- 'tions of the world to peace.
 This was the assertion of Alfred Moves, the English poet, in an ad- dress before the Ethical society in this city, yesterday. Each nation is at present maintaining a great army and navy because it's neighbor is, de- cEared MT. Moves. The future lies with America. Let her lift the sub lime torch of peace above the world and the nations of Europe will turn their eyes to it. To America will go the homage of all nations, he de- clared.
 ''The Great Green Table was the subject of the poets address. Seated about it,'' he said, "are the nations of the world spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a dead thing while their peasantries starve.
 To-day, war is promoted mainly by the greed of land. The present sys- tenn is against nature. It is an anom- ally which shall end either in disaster or the final establishment of perma- nent peace"
