Charles White, an Owosso boy, was
ordered taken to the Industrial School
for Boys at Lansing, by Judge Matthew
Bush, July 30. The boy and younger
brother ran away from home last week

the boy the training received at the
Industrial school, his running away
being attributed to an adventurous
spirit rather than an inclination to be
bad.

Restoring the Sugar Tariff.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem
writes hopefully of the prospect of the
repeal of the free sugar clause in the
Underwood tariff law before the clause
becomes effective May 1, 1916. 1t is
possible that canvass of the vote OF
the next house of representatives would
show decided majority in favor OF
repeating this clause, or even in favor
of restoring the Republican rates on
sugar, but the question is, will the next
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee and the floor leader, MIR. Kit.
chin. dare to put it to the test by open
ing up the whole tariff law to amend
ment2 With majority of but 30 in
the house it would be ticklish situa-
alton at best.
In an attempt to put Republican
President in the hole, and in order to
play politics, the Democrats in the
sixty.second congress brought in several
tariff bills to amend certain schedules
of existing law-''pop. gun" bills as they
were called. One of these schedules
passed the house with little difficulty,
but when it got to the senate an amend.
ment reducing duties on an additional
schedule of the law was tied to the
house bill and carried through. Like
the rest Of the tariff tomfoolery of that
session, it received the Presidential
veto.
1t is hardly possible that with the
small Democratic majority in the house
an attempt would be made to limit
consideration to the sugar schedule
alone, and especially would this be
true should the request come from the
President. The Tammany contingent
will have the balance of power in the
Sixty. fourth congress and any bouquet
which they may present to the Presi.
dent within the next two years is more
than likely to secrete a poniard. The
Picayune is rather too optimistic. The
Democrats will consider 1t easier to
Issue bonds to meet public expenditures
than to repeal the free sugar clause.

en- Hearing.
New Orleans, Aug. 5.-Advices re-
ceived from Vera Cruz state that Car
rama has compiled list of PERM
cious foreigners to be deported." Many
Americans are on the list.
Henry Berliner, representative of
an American typewriter company,
was arrested at his desk last Thurs
day and put aboard the steamship

Will Have Hearing First.
John L. Silliman has assured all
Americans in Vera Cruz that they
will have a hearing and time to ar
range their affairs before being eject
ed from Mexico.
All the railroads out of Vera Cruz
are infested with Zapatistas who
burned most of the small stations.
Carranza has contracted with an
American bank note company for
$100,00O,000 Of notes. With the de-
livery Of these, some time in August.
he says Mexico's financial difficulties
will be over.
Funston Ordered to Use Artillery.
Washington, Aug. 5-Major General
funston has orders to use his artil.
lery and shell the Mexican factions
out OF their positions in anv of the
lighting that endangers Americans
without referring the question further
to Washington.
Ostensibly this order is merely to
increase the military force at Ell Paso.
Army officers pointed out, however.
that as General Funston had reported
he had plenty of men on the border.
the present movement is probably
only the beginning of a series of re-
inforcements along the whole line.
Action Is Significant.
The sending of artillery to the Dor
der is regarded as having close con-
nection with the fact that the confer
ence of Pan-American ambassadors
and ministers with Secretary of State
Lansing began at the state depart
ment. 1t was indicated by one off,
cial that this government by its pres.
ent show of activity in military cir
cies intends to impress the factions
In Mexico and thereby to supplement-
the deliberations of the conference.

Commerce commission today at the

cial affairs.
Robert P. Lamont, president of
the American Steel Foundry COM
pany Of Chicago, testified his COM
pany petitioned for the Rock Island
receiver not for fear it could not
collect $4,000 due it, but because
Silas F. Strawn, Chicago attorney,
whom Mr.. Lamont presumed was
acting for Rock Island attorneys
requested him to do so.
Robert Walker Of New York, connected
with the Rock Island in various legal
capacities, testified he asked Strawn to
get some creditor to sign the petition
which he himself had drafted at the
direction of w. II. Moore, T. NJ. Schu-
macher and F. L. Hine. other directors
of the company.
Counsel Folk. for the commission
asked IL the board had authorized
Walker, as counsel, to file the petition

proved the action. Mr. Walker denied

Mr.. Untermyer.
