CAPTAIN KIDD NOT
PIRATE; L|BELED, IS
HISTORIANS BELIEF
fRx Associated Press,

BOSTON, July 28.-Song and story
are wrong. Captain Kidd was not a
pirate and his tabled treasure does
not exist. Privateersman he was, but
of good repute. His hanging as a
pirate and murderer on Execution
Dock at London in 1901 was to satisfy
the political exigencies of the time.
These are the findings Of John H.
Edmonds, state archivist for Massa-
chusetts, as announced in a lecture at
the Old South Meeting house. Archi-
visit Edmonds was discussing Lord
Bellomont and the Pirates
Bellomont, he said, was appointed
governor of New England in 1895 with
a special mission to suppress piracy.

VIEWS OF BUSINESS
men CONFLICT ON
IMPORT DUTY BASIS

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Views OF
business men on the American valua-
ton provisions in the Fordney tariff
bill were given to the senate finance
committee Wednesday and support and
condemnation of the plan came alter
nately. The days testimony marked
sharply the line between the domestic
manufacturer and the importer, the
former supporting and the latter de-
nouncing the proposal to change the
basis of duties assessment.
The committee was told by Jacob
De Jong, New York manufacturer, that
the claims of the plans opponents that
it would result disastrously to most
lines of import was untenable. He de-
clared that on the basis of last years
imports, less than $1,000, 900, 900 worth
of the commodities brought in would
be materially affected.
Values Very Similar.
Sugar, raw silks, hides, unmanufac-
tured rubber and wool were cited as
commodities whose American valua-
ton is approximately the world vaIua-
ton. Mr.. De Jong contended that
these imports would bear duties only
slightly higher under the American
valuation than under the present
/ system of levying taxes on the foreign
price.
/ Views supporting those of Mr. De-
long were expressed by Patrick Quinn
/ OF Providence, R. l., president of the
American Lace Association; Henry
| Howard of Cleveland, representing the
Manufacturing Chemists Association,
and Dudley Harmon of Hartford, Conn,
speaking for the Connecticut Manufac-
turers' Association. Each of the wit
nesses declared there was no way out
OF the situation other than by adoption
OF the home value plan
Thomas H. Eddy, of Marshall Field
& Co., Chicago, declared that the do
nestle valuation plans would destroy
partially, at least, the importing bust
ness because OF the uncertainty which
would follow its application He told
the committee that the methods of de-
termining value required by the bill
meant that one mans opinions would
establish the tariff rates, and so far
as his firm was concerned, would
mean that all settlement to customs
boards or the courts.
Urges Discard of Plan.

Mulane OF New York, representing fif-
ten firms, declared, would suffer mate
rally from the lack of knowledge as
TO what their American selling prices
would be under the domestic plan of
assessing duties. He urged the com.
mittee to discard the suggested change
altogether and rely upon the present
system because of the foundation in ex
perienc which the customs service has
gained.
Hearings on the tariff will be side
tracked by the committee Temporarily
while it considers further the subiect
: of funding the allied debts. Chairman
Penrose said he hoped to resume hear
ings on the tariff Friday, taking III
