HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 20.-The
state board of pardon is expected to
announce it's decision today in the case
of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield who is con-
demned to die on March next for the
murder of her husband. The governor
has been flooded with petitions and
letters from all parts of the country
begging clemency for Mrs. Wakefield
but it is understood that he has con-
signed them to the waste basket as
soon as they had been read far enough
to discover their purport. In addition
to personal letters petitions have been
sent by the Connecticut Woman's Suf-
frage association and the New Haven
Political Equity club, begging that the
murderess be not executed on the
ground that capital punishment is bar
barrie and illegal.

INCREASE CUSTOM DUTIES
China Figuring on How 1t Can Raise
Its Revenue Materially.

PEKIN, Dec. 20-Sun Poa-chi, min
lister of foreign affairs, today sounded
the various foreign ministers in re-
gard to China's desire to materially in
crease her customs duties, which are
supposed to be five per cent but which
are as low as three per cent in many
instances, due to the inability of the
government to enforce fines. The pre-
sent customs tariff has been in force
since 1902, by virtue of a treaty Great
Britain and subsequent agreements
with several nations.
Legally speaking, China, as a full
f1edged nation, has a right to draw up
and enforce her own customs tariff
modified only by the customary favor
ed nation treaties entered into by all
countries. However, China's custom
service has been in the hands of for
eigners for nearly fifty years, and no
tax on imports can be imposed by
China without the sanction of treaties.
The administration of the Chinese Gus
toms service by foreigners, under the
direction of the late Sir Robert Hart,
was of inestimable benefit to China, as
we'll as satisfactory to the world at
large.
The control of the country's tariff
by treaty with the powers has also
worked well in the main, when Chinas
financial needs were small, but now
that China is undermining rapidly, it
is only a question of time when she
will demand the inalienable right to
fix her tariff regulations and rates to
suit herself.
For the present, however, the old
system will be adhered to, as indicated
by the note of Minister Sun Poa-chi.
No ratio of the contemplated tax on i'm
ports is indicated in the note, but it is
on good authority that high
republican officials believe that the
present rate of five per cent should
be at least twelve and one half per
cent, if not fifteen or twenty per cent.
1t is feared that the powers will do
