MORE OFFICES TO GO.
Customs Reorganization Takes Pie
from Democrats.

Following 4 conference which Assist.
ant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis
had yesterday with the President on the
reorganization Of the customs service, il
was announced that the plans, which
are now before Secretary Macveash, will
be submitted to the President by the
latter part of this week for Ills approval
and PRONUNCIATION. The President made
II plain that he will not in any way
shirk responsibility for putting the new
plan into effect. It had been intimated
that since there was such strong oppo-
sition to the adjustment of the smaller
ports throughout the country and of a
number OF offices. this opposition, coming
mostly from Democrats who would be
able to obtain the patronage If the offices
should remain. the President had been
asked to put the whole question UP to
the Democratic administration Attor-
ney General Wickersham has held that,
under the terms of the law authorizing
the reorganization, II must be promul-
gated by the President and sent to the
present Congress. The President has
been Informed OF all the more important
provisions of the plan, and, although he
has been asked bv Senators and Repre-
to leave unmolested certain
ports and Offices in their respective dig
tricts. ne has indicated that he will
approve the entire plan as drawn up by
the Treasury Department.

PLANS NEW STREET CAR RULES
District Electric Railway Commi.-
sion Proposes Traffic Advancement.

In the interest of faster electric traf.
fc, the District Electric Railway Com
mission has recommended a rule to the
Interstate Commerce Commission order
ing crowded street cars to pass crossings
and leave passengers to the cars behind.
4 regulation requiring street car CON-
panies to penalize motormen who run
by passengers at regular stopping places,
when the cars are not already loaded,
will be coupled TO the first rule.
These rules will be among the new
regulations soon TO be adopted for the
operation of street cars in the District.
Members of the District Electric Rail-
way Commission believe that both rules
VIII do much toward improving traffic
conditions They are certain that pas
sengers of the street cars will hail the
resuiation compelling motormen of cars
not crowded TO stop. and believe that
the public will soon be educated to ap-
prove the other ruling, which, in their
opinicn, IL even more for the Soo3 Of the

Editor TINES
I see by last Wednesdays edition OF
THE TIMES an article denouncing the
careless practice of auto drivers pass
ing street cars while stopping to let
passengers on or off cars. If referring
to me or to accident Of last Monday,
he is grossly mistaken. Ever since
ordinance was passed by city council re-
garding stopping OF vehicles to let
passengers on or off street cars / have
made practice of stopping machine
within reasonable distance of car and
waiting until car is again in motion.
Speaking OF last Mondays accident can
truly say 1t could not be avoided by
me or Mr. Gates. The injured federal
employ of the distillery got OFF the
street ear while it was still in motion
and / have witnesses who can testify
to that effect, and furthermore I have
found out that employees of the dis
tiiIery have a habit of alighting from
cars while in motion at that point.
while cars slow down coming off of
the switch which Is opposite the dis
tillery gate, instead of waiting for cars
to come to full stop at railway cross
ing nifty or one hundred feet away /
brought the machine to full stop
within ten or twelve feet after the
machine struck Mr.. Gates and then my
helper got off the machine and ran
back and picked up the injured man be-
fore the street car came to full stop
To my estimation accidents could be
avoided more easily IL pedestrians
would watch their step, is shown in
the case of Mr.. Gates, walked right into
the side of the machine, as it was the
pie box on the side OF the machine
which struck the injured man. But it
Is a very easy matter to blame 1t on
an auto driver and say 1t is careless
ness on his part.

The iron has certainly entered In

he coming convention of democrats
IN Hammond as follows:
Mr. Peterson has turned down
the advice of democrats all over
the district who would have been
his friends and the most far-seeing
democrats all over the district say
that he stands no more chance of
being reelected to congress than a
rabbit. He will lose the district by

of this would-be dictator and cor
poration lawyer from Crown Pointf
This is a matter the delegates who

CRUEL TREATMENT OF DOGS.

East Chicago. Dec. 81.
Editor TIMES.
The most feroc.ous cruelty connect
ed with the execution of the order of
death by the East Chicago police is
unparalleled In the practices of other
cities as large or even smaller than
East Chi ssse. The following example
occurred this week and being truth
fully related 1t is hoped to arouse a
sentiment In favor of a more humane
treatment of the canine population
The dogs crime was in biting a boy
Mail carriers, paper boys. delivery boys
of all kinds testify that such Is a fre-
quent occurrence and no serious conse-
qnences follow. only in rare cases. The
owners are not requested to shoot their
pets However malicious that was up
permost instead of humanity
Be that IS it may a dog is mans best
friend, playmate of his children, guard
ian of the home. If he bites 1t is be-
cause he feels he is doing his duty in
protecting his home and those in 1T
who feeds. shelters and protects him.
When complaint was made of the
dogs bite his life was Immediately de-
manded. The owners being very fond
of him tried in every way TO amend for
MS indIscretion, paid damages de-
manded for the torn clothing. Think
ing to do justice to both pet and COM
plainant the owner gave the dog away
but true to instinct he came home each
time. Well knowing the fate await
ing him should he bedeIivered for exc
cution to our police. he was nepe safe
at home and arrangements made to dis
pose of him out OF town.
In the meantime, one of our oldest
most respected of citizens, Judge
Cheney, was consulted. who advised the
owner was acting within the law and
her rights as a citizen, in keeping him
in the house and protecting him and
her children from knowledge of such
cruelty However, while the owner
was gone on this errand, a number of

partly water. Fortunately. however,
for the stockholders, its head was
level. Its practical bankers and steel
workers saw the Corporation from
the beginning had got to fight for its
life With 100000. .e00 new capital
and surplus earnings Ca sum greater
than that for which its common and
preferred stock is now quoted in the
market) 1t built and rebuilt its
plants, opened foreign markets even
into Russia. and became the greater
exporter of steel, with the highest
efficiency and the lowest costs. Judge
Gary now declares that the tariff is
no concern of the Steel Corporation.
The Gary shop-that giant plant at
Chicago-not the original trust or
ganization, can now compete with
the world.
When 2 man buys out his COM
petitors to cover his inefficiency, his
troubles begin And those troubles
are not so much with the Sherman
law as with his own efficiency. He
may become giant in his trade, but
he must quickly soIidify his watered
body. for his feet of clay begin to
melt from the day of his trust or
ganization. The trust can no longer
walk or run. 1t can sit down. And
this in safety only ON the most CEN
tralized organization, upholstered
with the most efficient cost sheets"
