TARIFF REVISION
MAKES PROSPERITY
SECRETARY REOFIELD SAYS NEW
TARIFF LAW HAS PRODUCED
NO EVIL EFFECTS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Hartford, COnn.-William C. Red
field, secretary of commerce, address
ing the State Business Mems Associa-
tion of Connecticut here asked with
. smile what had become of the threat
ened flooding of American markets
with foreign-made goods, attracted by
the new tariff schedules.
"All men are witnesses that the
flooding of our markets with the prod
ucts Of the so-called pauper labor of
Europe has not occurred" he said.
NAY, the total imports for the entire
period since the tariff came into eff
feet actually are less than for a like
period a year ago. What has become
Of the millions upon millions in value
of goods waiting to be unloaded upon
US whereby the power to purchase
more cheaply was to bring disaster
and distress upon American indus
tries?
Instead, as editors and speakers

flooding of our markets must come to
their thoughts as those things one
would rather not have said.
Meanwhile the current has run
strongly the other way, and particu-
larly is this true in the shape of fully
finished materials. Our foreign trade
in this country continues to grow, be-
side the normal fluctuations from
month to month in the total export
business. Those. if there were any,
who felt that the flooding had come
when December imports rose to the
largest ever known, namely, S1S4,500.-
600, must have experienced a rude
shock when imports for January fell
off more than s30,O0O.0O0. so as even
to be less by almost 100000 than in
January, 1913. We expect a growth
in the imports of manufactures under
the new tariff that competitive condi-
tions may exicts to the general good.
"We expect that as the great or a
larger growth will take place in the
expectations of manufactures that
business may run more steadily in
our American shops and that the gold
of the nations may he brought in in
creasins quantities into the pockets Of
our people"

IMPROVEMENTS OF
LEPER HOME PLANNED
WILL INCLUDE FIRE-FlGHTlNG
SYSTEM MANNED BY THE
INMATES.

Western Newspaper linton News Service
New OrleanS.-A model fire-fighting
system manned by the inmates is one
of the features of a plan of general
improvement at the Louisiana leper
home, a few miles north of New Or
leans. Besides the fire apparatus, the
Board of Governors has decided, if
the legislature will appropriate the
money, to install a plant to furnish
light and power in the colony and OPP
crate a refrigeration system. The
board also expects to establish a syS-
TEN of sewerage dis!nfectiOn to elimi-
nate what chance there now is of
spreading the disease in the neighbOr-
hood.
The Louisiana colony, which has
heretofore attracted the attention of
scientists, is two miles from Carville,
La, and now is populated by 81 suf-
ferers. The Board of Governors esti-
mate that only about one-third of the
lepers of Louisiana are afforded treat
ment at the colony.
Work among the lepers is not much
more dangerous than caring for a like
number of tuberculosis sufferers, say
physicians who are administering to
these at the Louisiana home.

Chicago.-Longer school days with
sessions throughout the summer
months are urged in an article in the
current number Of the School Review
issued at the University OF Chicago.
Moral and scholastic delinquency
would be prevented and economic
waste in school management would
be eliminated under such a plan, ac.
cording to the article.
"City children are becoming more
and more helpless as the result of the
idleness imposed upon them by city
life" says the article. The boys, at
least, are exposed through their long
evenings and holidays to the various
influences of the street"
The articles urges the employment

MOVEMENT BEGINS
UPON TORREON
BOTH FEDERALS AND REBELS
PREPARE FOR BATTLE BEFORE
FEDERAL STRONGHOLD.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chihuahua, MeX.-A general forward
movement of both armies at Torreon
was begun by the Federals and Con-
stitutionalists last Saturday night and
early Sunday, with resulting skir-
mishes among the outposts, in which
the rebels were put to flight, but a
rebel victory was claimed in a later
engagement.
General Francisco Villa is said to
have issued orders which it is believed
here mean that the long-deferred ad-
vance on Torreon has been started.
General Villas action was hastened
by the picking up here of wireless
message from President Huerta in
Mexico City to General Rufugio Velas-
co, commanding at Torreon. AS caught
by Villas wireless station, the mes
sage was an order to Velasco to take
the offensive without delay. Within
a few hours dispatches from the ex.
treme front reported Federal move
ment westward from Mapimi through
Canyon lie Cadena, which, owing to
its proximity to the Federal outposts,
had not been strongly garrisoned by
the Constitutionalsts The small rebel
force retreated.
General Tomas Urbania, with 1000
men at Palavo, nine Spanish leagues
to the north. Immediately was ordered
to advance, and General Villa issued a
general order for the advance of all
the cavalry. at Escalon, Coneios, Per-
onal and other points along his battle
froht, to the immediate northward of
1orreOn.
A special train was sent to Juarez to
bring General Felipe Angeles, secre-
tary of war in General Carranza's cabi-
net, to Chihuahua to command the ar
tillery with Colonel Servin, second in
command.
A later report from the front said
General Augirre Benavides had pro-
ceeded southwark from Conejos. in re-
sponse to General Villas order to ad-
vance, and, encountering large body
Of Federals south of Peronal, drove
them into Bermijillo. Losses were not
reported.
General Villa is impatient for the
arrival of General Angeles in order
that he may get away for the scene Of
battle. He has suspended all regular
trains, as all rolling stock will be
used for troop movement.
