TAFT PROMISES REVISION
ISSUES A LETTER FOR THE CON
GRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN BOOK.
Executive to Recommend to Congress
That Individual Schedules Be
Taken Up Separately.
-
Beverly , Mass. - In the lettei
he has written for the Republican
congressional campaign book , PresI-
dent Taft advocates revision of the
tariff by separate schedule.
The president dwells at length upon
the work of the tariff board which has
been investigating the cost of living
at home and abroad. . Summing up
what he hopes from this board , the
president says that whenever it re
ports to him facts which in his judg- -
ment warrant a revision of any par-
ticular schedule , he will recommend
such revision ! in a message to con
gress.
If it is objected that this method of
tariff revision is open to the possi-
bility that the attempted revision ( . '
one schedule will bring down a flood
of amendments which will , in effect
open up the entire tariff law' : the
president has a reply. He will recom
mend the adoption of a rule in both
houses of congress providing that only
the specific schedule that is
named shall be reopened and that all
amendments not germane to that
schedule shall be regarded as out of
order.
In taking this stand in favor of re
vising the tariff , a schedule at a time ,
the president Is going more than hall
way to meet the progressives , who
have charged that the scheme of re
vision followed at the special session
of congress makes a fair and impar-
tial revision of the tariff impossible
and paves the way for deals and dick-
ers under which the interests of "big
business" are fostered and protected
The move is another step toward har-
monizing the party.
KOREA \ IS ANNEXED TO JAPAN
Text of Convention Is Communicated
to the Powers , But Withheld
From the Public.
Tokyo. - Japan has completed the
details of the annexation of Korea
The text of the convention undei
which the Hermit kingdom and its
13,000,000 Inhabitants become part of
the mikado's empire was communica
ted to the representatives of the pow-
ers. The document , which , according
to now established fact , was signed
August 22 , will be effective when offi
cially promulgated. This will take
place , according to some of the minis-
ters ' , August 29.
Baron Hirata , minister of the in-
iterior : , summoned the proprietors of
'all ' ' : the Japanese newspapers to his
cabinet Wednesday' ' ' and requested
them to publish no unauthorized in
formation regarding the situation in
Korea.
He pointed out that such publica
tion under existing conditions would
only make the tas. . of the Japanese I
government In carrying out the an :
nexation more difficult.
The newspapers agreed to his
wishes and nothing regarding the an
nexation beyond official statements
will therefore be published here be.
fore the promulgation of . the conven
tion.
CONVICTS AT OLEO INQUIRY
Moonshiners Are Brought From Pris
on to Tell of Alleged Gigantic
Conspiracy.
Chicago.-Investigation of chargei
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment made against manufacturers of
butterine may begin before next Mon-

all probability , be pursued by the in-
quisitorial body in the examination of

already in possession of signed confes-
sions from Broadwell and Driesbach ,
telling , supposedly in full , their In
formation concerning the existence of
a , conspiracy between big oleomargar- ;
tne manufacturers and moonshiners to
