ed today affirmed the Judgment of Judge
mayer In the federal district court in

shop suit brought by the Paine Lumber
Co and others against Elbridge H. Neal

ed States Brotherhood of Carpenters and

Ell Paso, Texas, April S.-Raphael
AroZena, wealthieSt resident of the

extensive grower of sea island cotton

refugees who rode to the border today

COMMISSIONER
WOODS ISSUES
ORDER AGAINST
NY. "SYSTEM''

New York, April S.-What is consid-
cred an initial movement against con-
ditions in the New York police force
identified as the system" was made
in the first general order issued by
Police Commissioner Arthur Woods,
who assumed office today.
Until further orders" says the in
structions, members of the force
will not be required to forward appli-
cations for an interview with the
commissioner through official channels,
but will apply in writing"
In the past a policeman who wished
to bring an official matter such as a
law violation which he had noticed on
his beat directly to the attention of
the commissioner has been obliged to
submit his application for an inter-
view first to the captain who would
then transmit it to the inspector On
ly after the request had passed he
hands Of the chief inspector would it
come befor ethe commissioner. 1t is
claimed this practice often earned
policemen the i'll will of their supe-
riors and for this reason discouraged
the making of reports direct to head
quarters
Mr.. Woods order, 1t is understood,
aims to eliminate this, tending at the
same time to furnish captains and
inspectors with an incentive to keep
their precincts in good condition.

continued, that As minutes after the
shooting, Cirofici was in a neighbor-
ing police court bailing out his sweet
heart. Would any criminal with blood
on his hands have the audacity to in
wade a station house so soon after
committing . crime?"
The Governors only reply was that
he must rest on the evidence of the
four witnesses who had identified the
gunner. Then the clergyman urged
that new evidence might develop in
the second Becker trial which would
throw new light on the identification.
At one juncture Governor Glynn in
terrupted the appeals by exclaiming:
Your word didn't send them to the
electric chair. Mine did"

to their deaths" replied Mr. Gold

death and giving Gods sanction to

tify."
When other appeals had failed, the
clergymen finally requested that the
execution be stayed until after the
Feast of the Passover, which will be-
gin next Monday morning and con-
tinue until the early part of the fol-
lowing week, and which they describ-
ed as "a festival Of rejoicing which
will be marred for every one of our
faith if this cloud overshadows it's
beginning"
The clergymen returned to New
York on an early evening train. They
We're greatly disappointed.

SAY REVENUES
FROM CUSTOMS
Will. MEET The
EXPECTATIONS

Washington, April S.-Figures were
made public in a treasury department
statement tonight showing that the rev.
enues from the customs during the fiscal
year which ends June 80, 1914, almost GER
tainly will meet and probably will ex-
coed the estimates made when Congress
passed the new tariff law.
The statement, prepared by Assistant
Secretary Malburn, in charge of customs,
said:
TT was estimated that the receipts
from customs for the fiscal year 1914,
which included three months under. the
tariff act of 1909 and nine months under
the present tariff act approved Oct. 8,
1913, would amount to $4,000 900, resulting
in a loss of $40, 0O.0o0 from the customs
receipts of the previous years.
1.-The total customs collections for the
nine months just ended amounted to $685.
10000, showing a loss for the nine months
period of s24, 100000 as compared with the
collections for the same period during
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1913 AS
this loss is only one-half of the estimated
loss for the whole year, it Is probable
that the receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1914. will exceed the esti-
mate"
lit is to be noted that the loss in rev.
enue during the months of January and
February 1914, amounted in round num-
bers to six and ten millions dollars re-
spectively This was caused by the fall
ing off of the duties paid upon sugar, as
that commodity was retained in bonded
warehouses pending the reduction of su-
gar duties on March l, 1914.
