AIR RAIDS BREAK MoNoToNY
FOR PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND

London. April IA Scottish CORES
pondent, in a certain town, in a des-
patch concerning Sunday night mir
raid, said;
Scotland had its first experience
with Zeppelin raid last night A Yep
pelin appeared ten minutes before
midnight and circulated over the town
for forty minutes, dropping many
bombs. Warning OF the euemy's APP
proach was given the people by the
electric lights being cut OF Everybody
remained calm and many persons ven
tured into the streets to get better
view OF the raider No building OF pub
lie Importance was struck. but much
damage was done In the residence
quarter.
Five persons were killed in n pas
sage leading TO a tenement building,
whose occupants were obliged To make
their exit by means of fire escapes.
Two servant girls employed in a~doc-
tors house We're killed. while "A man
was killed in the street Two hotels
were struck and several persons were
killed or injured. A bomb in one in
stance penetrated a building from the
roof TO the basement"
Another Scottish correspondent tells
OF the arrival of a Zeppelin over the
Same unnamed town shortly before
midnight An incendiary bomb was
dropped and it Immediately set fire to
a building which blazed up in such a
manner that the correspondent says
the glare must have revealed the whole
countryside to the Germans.
The subsequent movement OF the
machine the correspondent adds, sug-
gested that 1t was able to determine
its location. Bombs continued to fall
in quick succession Several narrow
ly missed prominent buildings, but
many others landed harmlessly In open
spaces
There were so many persons In the
street that Il was not surprising that
numerous casualties resulted. due to
flying glass and spllnters OF wood. The
most serious damage, both to life and
property. was in the densely populat-
ed poorer districtsJof the town.

POLICE MAY BE CENSORS.
Ordinance Committee Discusses VcX
 atfous Problem Again.

The ordinance committee of the common council again discussed the vcXatious moving picture censorship problem last night and adjourned for a week to secure more data on the subject
 new solution of the problem is proposed, the idea being for the police department to detail an officer to view such pictures as are not wholly approved by the national board of review. When the national board sends word that certain parts of pictures should be cut it will be the duty of the police to send some one to view the picture in question and If the recommendation of the national board have not been com piled with the picture will be stopped nnd @ penalty may be imposed with loss of license to the theater if the picture is again shown. Chairman Mueller was instructed to write to Rochester for a copy of the ordin- anCcS adopted in that city in relation to the restrictions on moving pie lures.

TARIFF QUESTION
 'NOT So INTRICATE
At Least That Is What Fernald
 Tells Hartford Republicans

Hartford, Sept. 30.-"The question of the tariff is not so blind and in tricate as is generally supposed" said Senator Elect Bert M. Fernald of Maine addressing an outing of 1,- 500 voters from Hartford and nearby towns at Charter Oak park today on the occasion of the annual outing and dinner of the republicans of Hart ford. "The tariff question, explained briefly, amounts to this: If we pur- chase goods abroad, the foreigner has the money, we have the goods; if purchased in this country, we have the goods and the money too. A cer- tain quantity of merchandise is ne- cessary to supply the needs of our people. If these goods are produced or manufactured abroad it detracts just so much from the business of our own country.
 AS a simple illustration: Let us assume that it requires annually one hundred million pairs of shoes to sup ply the needs of the American people. If any part of these are manufactured abroad it lessons the opportunity for labor in our own country; robs the worl<ingman of employment which is rightfully his, diScourages manufac- turing; paralyzes industry. If the shoes are manufactured here, 1t gives employment to labor; encourages in- dustry; enlivens commerce; adds to
 prosperity of the whole country. This one sample will suffice, as it is applic- able to all manufactured goods, and the products of the farmer as we'll"
 Introduced by Campbell. Governor Fernald dwelt upon the effects of the democratic tariff upon New England industry and working men, in the shops and on the farms. He was introduced by J. N. Fl. Camp bell, chairman of the Hartford re- publican town committee. Quoting figures, he showed the disaster to the farmers and artisans of New Eng land brought about by the Underwood tariff and continuing until war began and "put everything on the protected
 list" thus stemminE the tide and pre- venting continued disaster and tinan- 1 cial ruin.
 '"This world war will CeaSe,' he went on. "The tNlmpcts will sound recall and the men from the trench os 1 of Europe will return to the farm and factory. Then, my friends, you will see this tariff issue take it's place | again, not in the newspapers alone, 1 not in your politics. but in your din | ner pails in your bank accounts, and l in the perpleXing problems of the sol | vency or the bankruptcy of your bus | ineSS.'
 { AssaiIs Mexican Policy. ! Governor Fernald characterized l President Wilson's Mexican policy as | lone mistake after another, policy l that merits not thing but pity" He dis ! cussed a phase of the tariff situation

 '"These Asiatic people are constant Iy encroaching upon our markets" said Governor Fernald, "and the day is not far distant when. if the bars are left down. they will flood our markets with products grown and manufactured by the cheapest labor In the wOrld"
