Alderman Gill Tells Charter Revision Com mittee Rights of Ignor- ant Should be Guarded
Judge filling Declares There Is No Need of Such an Official Here--Would Let Court Name Prosecutor.

The appointment of public de- fender to act in the local police court in capacity similar to public de lenders in superior courts, was pro- posed to the charter revision commit tee by Alderman John r. Gill of the second ward at last nights meeting of the committee.
 Alderman Gill pointed out that the city spends money to engage prose cutor and an assistant to present cases in court. but not a cent to see that, the interests of the accused are protected by an attorney If he is not in a. financial position to engage coun- gel. He felt that there are many in stances particularly among foreign born residents of the city where lack of knowledge of the English lan- guage, and of court procedure is q great disadvantage to them. He ex- pressed an opinion that, since money is spent for the proper prosecution of offenders money should also be ex- pended to see that no man innocent of crime is subjected to inconveni- ence or punishment.
 filling Takes Issue.
 Judge B. W. filling. representatives elect. attended his first meeting, as- sured the alderman that the interests of those not represented by counsel are not jeopardized in the local court. Questions are put to the accused to bring out every possible bit of infor- nation before judgment is handed down, he said
 Alderman Gills proposal came aft CT a. discussion of Representative A. N. Rutherford's suggestion that the appointment of prosecuting attorneys be placed in the hands of the police court judge, thus removing it from the common council. Alderman Frank L. Conlon felt it would not be an advisable step ifo that direction Mayor A. M. Paonessa was in favor of the change and also proposed that the appointment of a corporation counsel be placed in the mayors hands.
 A You must give the judge tools to work with, and you must also give the mayor tools to work with" he said in explanation of his stand.
 Representatives. filling, who is a judge of the police court, said that perhaps, he should not be expressing himself but he felt at the present time that the idea was good one. He felt that if the judge had the appoint ment of a prosecutor he might be in position to talk to him." Often times, he said, the judge is blamed for things that are not really his fault but he is not in position to correct matters. q. -
 Subjects Under Consideration
 At the opening of the meeting, Chairman E. F. Hall read the min- utes showing the matters now under consideration, to be as follows:
 The establishment of an electrical commission. Under the present ar rangement, the inspectors serve under the police and fire boards and the building commission.
 The collection of all revenues in one city, department.

TARIFF WON'T HURT
 U. S.-CHINESE TRADE
American Attache at Shang- hai Says Less Than 20 P. c. of Exports Affected.

Shanghai, Nov. 24-Fear as to the effect of the new American tariff on China-American trade is being felt by number of import and export men in the Orient.
 According to a statement given out by the American Commercial Attache here today, however, the new Amert- can tariff will have less effect on China than on any other country, as less than 20 per cent. of China's ex- ports to the United States will be af- fected.
 'The bulk of China's exports to America,'' said the attache, 'in aggre- gate valuation, comprises raw cotton, silk, tea, hides, undressed furs, fur skins, carpet wool, wood, oil and sausage castings, which are continued on the free list, constituting in China's exports to the states about TO per cent.
 Hair nets, strawbraid, feathers and down are admitted upon the same duties as obtained in the 1913 tariff.
 The commodities which will be most seriously affected are egg pro- ducts, peanut and soya bean oils, pea nuts and waInuts. The trade in these products under the new tariff will undoubtedly be reduced to very small proportions. However, it must be borne in mind that they constitute less than 20 per cent. of China's trade with the United States
