TAHITI TAKES FRIGHT AT
PROPOSED u. S. TARIFF LAW

Papcete, Tahiti, Sept. Trading
interests OF Tahiti are alarmed at the
tariff on copra embodied in the new
tariff bill being considered by the
United States congress. At the pre-
ent time cCpra in the islands is be-
low cost of production. Many owners
of plantations are feeding cocoalut
mean TO pigs and cattle rather than
pay labor to turn it into copra.
Heretofore the whole of Tahitis &C
pra has been sent to the United
States, and the prospect of the sud,
den cutting off of this Only market has
caused CONSERVATION. Trading even
now is in Il state of stagnation owing
to the diminished purchasing power
OF the native population, which the
fall of the price OF copra has brought
about.

CHAPTER XIV
The Dead-Line

We found the three disappointed
afternoon callers already on hand when
we reached the headquarters. The
boss said, "Good evening, gentlemen,
as pleasant as a basket of chips, and
invited the waiting bunch into the
private office, swapping on the lights
as he opened the door.
No intrOductions were needed. One
Of the pair Hatch had brought with
him was lawyer named Marrow,
whose home town was Sedgwick; a
sharp-nosed, ferret-eyed man who fig
ured as one Of the many "local coun-
sells" for Red Tower. The other, Ded-
mon, was a political place hunter who
had once been sheriff Of Arrowhead
county.
'You've kept us cooling our heels
In your waiting-roOm for just about
the last time, Mr.. Norcross was the
spiteful way In which Hatch opened
fire. "We've come to talk straight
business with you this trip, and it will
be more to your interest than ours
IL YOU III SeHu youi CicTh away.
While they had been dragging up
their chairs and sitting down, had
heard Fred May lock up his typewriter
and go, and had been listening anxi-
ously for some noise that would tell
me Tarbell was on deck. l thought
l heard the door of the outer Office
open again just as Hatch spoke and
Ii cOmforted me whole lot.
The boss didn't pay any attention
to Hatch's suggestion about sending
me away; acted as if he hadn't heard
1t. Opening his desk he took box of
cigars from a drawer and passed 1t.
With this concession to the small hos
pitalities the boss swung his chair to
face the trio.
"My time Is yours, gentlemen" he
said and Hatch jumped in like a man
fairly spelling for fight.
''For six months, Norcross, you've
been moving a pretty wide swath out
here In the tall hills. You've been
posing as little tin god before the
people of this state, and all the while
you've been knitting and smuggling and
black stacking private capital and pri-
vate business wherever and whenever
they have happened to get in your
