YALE VISITORS FIND
FACES In STONE
Harkness Memorial Carvings
Form Historical Record
of University.
NOTED MEN ENyISAGED
Window Panes Have Old Pie
lures Burned in Them of
Student Life.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Aug. 12.-Faces
in stone are being found by visitors who
under university guides inspect the
Harkness memorial quadrangle at Yale.
Except during commencement week.
when rooms In this group of buildings
were occupied by delegates to the IN
auguration of President James Rowland
Angel and some of the alumni. the
courts and entries have not been freely
open to the public. Parties are being
conducted at intervals through the quad
rangle, and the more observant among
| the visitors have noticed some of the
carvings which have been and are being
cut on the walls.
Unlike those In st. Thomass Church
in New York city, where much of the
sculptures in the detail of the Gothic
architecture Is In carfcature. the carv-
ings in Harkness are reproductions in
studied lines of men and incidents con-
nected with the life of the university and
of the early settlement of New Haven.
In lounge room is a carving of the
Mystery Ship" which. as the story goes,
entered the harbor in 1648 and was seen
to be wrecked and then vanish.
Four bulldogs in stone are to serve as
symbols of undergraduate life. One
with unwrinkled brow wears spectacles ;
another, with wrinked face has a foot
ball players helmet; another soldiers
cap. and the fourth wears cap and
gown. On an entrance arch Is a rose a
thistle, a shamrock and an elm, the last
named for New Haven. A square, COM
pass, level and plumb have been found
elsewhere.
Among the figures and faces on
frxrr - c., ~
inventor of the telegraph; Eli Whitney,
inventor of the cotton gin: Elihu Yale,
James Fenimore Cooper. Jonathan
Edwards, Nathan Hale, Noah Webster,
John Caldwell Calhoun, former Presi-
dent Arthur T. Hadley. James Gamble
Rogers. architect of the buildings and
several OF those who had charge of di-
visions of the construction.
Inscriptions are found in many places
That beside Nathan Hale Is II wish to
be useful" a quotation from one of his
sayings. Chief Justice Taft Is the only
living man TO have a gateway named
after himself. A group of figures In
working clothes with pick and shovel
symbolic the Yale n,en who worked on
the buildings.
According to George Nichols, the
resident architect, the purpose of filling
the hooks in !. the buildings with figures
Is to make an historical record that can
be read by all who care to take the
time and trouble.
The window panes In the rooms have
old pictures burned in them. illustrating
student life and incidents, and these
have already been described to some ex-
tent through university publications.
But the carvings are now coming to the
attention Of those who visit the buildings
on which workmen are constantly en-
gagged in carrying out the details.

TARIFF VALUATION
PLAN is ACCEPTED
Senate and House COnfcrees
Agree Upon Scheme to Fix
Duties on Goods.

WAsHrSuToN, Aug. 1.-THE Amer.
lean valuation plan of assessing duties
on imported merchandise with modifica-
tions and limitations proposed by Re-
publican members of the Senate Finance
Committee was accepted to-day at q
joint conference by Republican members
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, and the programme will be rec
commended to the Senate as a part of
the permanent tariff bill.
An attempt also was made at the con-
ference to determine whether the next
tariff law would contain a dye embargo
Although no formal action was taken,
it was indicated that the Republican
leaders would provide high protective
rates for the dye industry. but probably
would not favor the suggested three
year embargo. A joint committee COM
posed of Senator'S Smoot OF Utah, and
Dillingham; of Vermont, and Representa-
tives Longworth OF Ohio, and Frear Of
Wisconsin. was named to study the rate
question.
The House members also agreed to an
amendment by the Finance Committee
to the Longworth resolution extending
the life of the emergency tariff law as
well as the dye embargo to January 1,
or until superseded by the permanent
law. The resolution with It's amendment
was ordered favorably reported.
Even with the changes, Chairman
Fordney of the Ways and Means Com
mittee declared that "a distinct victory
had been won for the American valua-
tion plan, and other members of the
committee expressed confidence that the
proposition would be accepted by the
House.
Changes made by the Finance Com
mtitee Republicans, experts said. would
make the valuation plan more workable
and less likely to result in litigation.
AS worked out by the experts and ac-
cepted by the joint conference, ad va
loren duties would be assessed on the
basis OF the American wholesale selling
price on all imports where comparable
and competitive articles or domestic
manufacture are found. This provision
1t was believed. would apply 20 about
IS per cent. Of all imports. Where no
comparable and competitive American
made article is found, the duty would
be assessed on the American wholesale
selling price of comparable and COM
petitive imported commodity.
In event no such basis exists, then the
duty would be levied on the value of
the article in its home land, at the time
OF export plus necessary expenses to
an American port. and a reasonable
profit. totalling not less than l6 per
cent. of the articles value.
If no basis is found in the first three
alternatives. the basis of assessment
would revert to the production cost.
plus the necessary expenses of laying
the shipment down in America.
