FIRST DAYS DUTIES $923,374
Usual Daily Collection at New York Port About $7oO, O,oo0-Warehouse
 Withdrawals Swell Total.

Washington, Oct. S.-Customs re- ceipts at New York on Saturday, the first day of the operation of the new tariff law, reached the record figure of $923,374. The usual collections at New York amount to $700,000. Col gector Mitchell made most of the as- easements under the new law and the big increase is believed to be due to the heavy withdrawals from bond ed warehouses.
 Seventy per cent of the importa- tions of the country are brought in at New York, and these figures re- ceived by Secretary McAdoo gave the first index to the result of the new law.

WILL ATTEMPT TO SOLVE PROF. LEM WITH LEAST AMOUNT
 OF COURT ACTION.
LAW WILL BE ENFORCED
Wants Sherman Statute Strenothened. Rule of Reason" Removed-To- bacco and Standard Oil Deci.
 sions Cases in Point.

Washington, Oct. 8.-The policy adopted by the administration tuyard the trusts, according to reliable in. formation, is as follows:
 strict enforcement of the crimi. nal and civil sections of the Sherman law.
 Enorts to cure existing evils and prevent them in the future without destroying business.
 When this can be done without re- sort to the law or equity courts, the attorney-general will follow that course.
 Where it cannot be done without litigation, there will be, if there is any question regarding the outcome of criminal action. civil suit; if suc- cessful. criminal action against indi- vidual officers of the corporaton will follow.
 Where the department of justice finds clear case of violation of the Sherman law, and the existing evi1 can be cured while individual punish ment is meted out, criminal action will precede civil action.
 The contemplated action in equity against the New Haven road best shows the attitude of the government Civil suit will be filed against the road, according to the present inten- tion. in the United States circuit court in the southern district of New York, at New York City, probably next week. The reason the depart ment of justice has decided not to proceed criimnally against the of ficials of the New Haven at once is that the civil case of the New Haven Is involved.

New Haven Problem.

While tho government is sure that the Sherman law has been violated, it is not certain how the courts will re- gard wholesale breaking up of the combination and on just what points they will sustain the contentious Of the government. This attitude Is due to the nature of the holdings i'll the New Haven monopoly most Of which are scattered throughout New Eng land among women and children and estates.
 There is further belief among Of ficials that President Elliott of the Now Haven ought to receive some encouragement in his efforts to un- lanSle the roads finances and get the system on a paying basis.
 If. however, the civil suit is sue cessful there will be criminal actions later.

Stronger sherman Law.

The administration, and particular ly the president and the attorney general. is desirous of strengthening the Sherman law by legislation which is termed supplemental
 The administration wants congress to enact legislation which shall re- move from the sherman law the rule of reason" which the supreme court found in the law in the tobacco and Standard Oil decisions, and which, at the time. did not meet with the ap- proval of either President Taft or Attorney-General Wickersham.
 The administration does not believe that corporation can be dissolved under the plans accepted by the courts in the case of the Standard Oil and tobacco trusts.
 Until this supplemental legislation Is obtained the department of justice will vigorously enforce the sherman law as it now stands and has been interpreted by the supreme court.

DOG
Defied Several Policemen,
Cold Water And A Rope

Al least one South Main street
business establishment was well pro.
tected from burglars Thursday night
A large bulldog was the guard and it
did it's duty well. Cold water, a rope
and several policemen could not re-
move the animal from its position
and it stayed on duty until opening
time Friday morning.
1t had been customary to lock the
dog inside the store and let it do
guard duty on the inside. 1t was
forgotten at closing time Thursday
evening, however, and was locked
out. Undaunted, the dog took up a
position at the front door and ques-
toned the passage of every pedes-
trian on the side walk. In an effort
to remove the animal, the police Sc
cured bucket of cold water and
threw it upon it. This did not work
and then they secured a rope and
made an attempt to tie the dog up.
This also proved to be rather danger
Gus work and so the effort was aband-
oned and the four footed guard
reigned until morning when the store
was opened. Although the animal is
said to have snapped at several
people, no one was bitten.
