' Annnnl Fall Opening:.
It will be the annual fall opening for
all the shops. Heretofore the various
stores have acted independently of each
other, each one trying to get bold of
It fall good first and hold Its opening
first. The result was that a shopper had
to come down town on soveral different
days to take in the openings at all the
shops. Now the shops have agreed on
the ttms of opening and each has waited
until the other Is ready, so that each
merchant's ' display is a complete a he

Not only wtll ths show be a great con

expected that the show will bring many

TAFT ON THE TARIFF BOARD
(Continued from Second Page.)
permanent tariff commission, and I shall
urge upon the congress, as long as it Is
my function to do so, the establishment
by law of such a commission.
More Report In . December.
"But, meantime, congress has enabled
me to organize the present commission.
They have shown by the work already
done how thoroughly their future work
will be, and they have demonstrated by
what they have done that the material
which they will place before the congress
and the executive In December with ref
erence to schedules K and I that is. on
woolens and on cottons will be of a
more valuable character and one from
which more valuable conclusions can be
drawn than any report of the kind ever
submitted to. any legislative body. Sched
ule K Is the most complicated schedule
in th whole rang of sohedules. Sched
ule I, a textile schedule, is, except for
the difficulty connected, with the raw ma
terial in Schedule K. equally troublesome
and complicated and hard to understand.
When those reports shall have been sub
mitted, showing the difference in the cost
of production abroad and In this coun
try of textile fabrics, and giving a basis
upon which, a proper reduction can be
made in either schedule, it will be my
duty and my pleasure to recommend to
congress such a reduction. Meantime,
attacks upon ths board as one whose
Judgment is not worthy of consideration
are born not of a candid consideration
of their previous work, not of a frank
acknowledgment of the ability of the
various members of the board to do work
that they are charged to do, but they
come from the thoughtless beat of pol
ltleai controversy, and ought to have no
weight with unbiased friends of the pub
lie weal.
"I can not more fittingly close these
remarks than by quoting the conclusion
of sn Impartial and competent committee
of the tariff commission association after
a full and personal investigation of the
work of the tariff board, as follows:
" 'In conclusion our committee finds
that the tariff board Is composed of able,
Impartial and earnest men, who are de
voting their energies unreservedly to the
work before them; that the staff has
been carefully selected for the work in
view, is efficiently organized and directed,
and Includes a number of exceptionally
competent technical experts; that
the work of the board, vast and Intri
cate in detail, U already highly organized,
well systematized, and running smoothly;
and that congress and the people can now
await the completion of that work with
entire confidence that it is progressing
as rapidly as consistent with proper
thoroughness and that it will amply
Justify all the time and expense it on tails.
We believe that the value of the work
when completed will be so grest and so
evident a to leave remaining no single
doubt as to th expediency of maintain
ing it as a permanent function of the
government for the benefit of ths peo
ple." "

KIMMEL AND HUNT QUARREL
Former Omaha Man and Convict
Neatly Come to Blows.
HUNT CALLS, HIM AN IMPOSTOE
Man of Mystery Keep Vp His
Claim at the Home of Relatives
at Kile' bnt Hunt Again '
Denounces Hint.
Violent quarrel between Andrew J.
Hunt of Arkansas City, Kan., formerly
of Omaha, and the man of mystery at
Nlles, Mich., who claims to be a former
associate of Hunt, marked the end of
their interview at Nlles, according to a
report that reached Omaha Saturday.
Hunt went to Nlles to see Klmmel, de
claring that a few minutes conversation
with the man of mystery would enable
him to tell positively whether or not he
was Klmmel. Previous newspaper re
ports already have told of the interview.
The man recalled muoh of Klmmel's as
sociations with Hunt, but not all. Here
1 the end of the Interview at the Rom
of Klmmel's cousin, Harry Fox;
"Tell me something about Arkansas
City," said Hunt.
"I remember the time I rented the
room over the bank to a railroad lodge,''
said the man. .
"There never was a railroad lodge up
there;" said Hunt.
"Yes there was, too,; I rented It to For
garty and Mlgails."
"No, there was never a lodge up
there."
Spring; at llnnt.
Suddenly the man sprang from ths
ohalr, his whole form shaking, hi teeth
olenched, a bony forefinger pointing at
Hunt.
"I know you now," he screamed, "you
hound. Tou are the man who came to
see me In Matteawan and In Auburn and
went away and lied about what occurred.
Tou know I am Oeorge Klmmol. Tou are
here to try and trap me, 'not to try and
give out the truth. Get out. Why was
this man allowed to get in here to see
meT He means only to practice deceit.
I refuse to talk further with you. You
are my enemy. I will leave Nlles today
If I have to go afoot."
The man sank Into his chair ex
hausted and quivering. Fox and his wife
tried to soothe him. Hunt said:
"Tou are not George Klmmel. You are
an Impostor. You have been taught some
things about Klmmel's past life Just like
a parrot is taught. But when I, who
knew Klmmel intimately, come here to
question you, you pretend to be angry
and outraged. You are a fraud."
Klmmel Ordered Him Ont.
The man lying in the Morris chair
sat up again and pointed his shaking
hand at Hunt.
."I know, that hard grin on your face.
I've seen it before. I saw it at Mat
teawan and at Auburn. Oet out, go
away." ha shrieked.
Hunt arose, apologised to Mr. and Mrs.
Fox for intruding and said:
"I Just wanted to convlnca this man

from the Kansas City Star that this
was not Klmmel.
"I am Klmmel," the quavering voice
of the man in the Morris chair declared.
"You are Klmmel about as much as I
am." retorted Hunt.
"I am broken, I am nervous; ths
strain Is too much for me. Let no more
of my enemies see me," said the man In
the chair.
A half hour later ths man who says
he is Klmmel wss strolling the streets,
smoking a cigar.
Other Knew Klmmel.
William B. Whitehorn. of Omaha, an
acquaintance of George A. Kimmel when
he lived here, declared his belief that
Andrew J. Hunt would not denounce th
Nlles, Mich., man as an impostor unless
he were one.
"I never knew Klmmel very intimately,"
said Whitehorn. when interviewed in the
offices of ths Omaha Electric Light A
Power company, where he works. "I
met him socially some and in the Masonic
lodge. Hunt knew him well. I believe
what Hunt' says. I don't think Kimmel
worked for the Paclfio Express company
at the same time I did."

bill.
Fifth I would prohibit such corpora
tion from issuing stock except it be fully
paid in cash and property. This will not
only protect th corporations and tend to
give them sound credit, but will protect
the public as investors in such corpora
tions. Sixth I would provide for a commis
sion of corporations, for the purpose of
oarrylng out ths provisions o fsuch act,
the same to be composed of three com
missioners, lnoludlng the commissioner
of corporations, who shall be ex-oftlclo
a member of the commission and chair
man of such commission, to be appointed
by the president by and with the advice
of ths senate; not more than two of such
commission tc be appointed from the
same poltttca lpgrty.
Commission to Be Independent.
I would give the commission a liberal
salary of at least $10,000 pe rannum for
each member ,and a reasonable term of
service (not less than six years), and
provide that one commissioner should go
out of office each two years, so that no
president would appoint the entire com
mission during - is term of office. I
would give the commission power and
authority to Inquire Into the organisa
tion, management of the business of all
corporations organised or licensed .under
the act. I would provide that anyone
complaining of anything done or omitted
to be done by a corporation subject to
the supervision of the aot .or complain
ing that any such corporation has en
tered into sny contract or combination,
or engaged in any conspiracy In restraint
of trade or commerce among the several
states, or with foreign nations, or has
monopolized, or has attempted to monop
olise, any part thereo; ,on is engaged tn
oppressive snd unfair methods of com
petition for the purpose of monopolizing
such commerce, may apply by petition
to the commission, stating the faots, or
may make an informal compallnt to the
commission.
With wise laws, honest administrations,
enlightened public sntlment, stability and
security for property, the industrial de
vellpment of this nation ho Just com
menced, and remember, that material
prosperity goes hand in hand with the
highest development of man; but what Is
most needed Is stability and permanency
of government. Government Is not a
stag on which to exhibit every passlns
show, nor is it an institution for the trial
of every experiment that popular Imag
ination may for the moment invent. ,
But above all the most important is to
keep open to everyone the opportunity of
betterment and the. hop of success.
These are the guiding ttars of civilization.
Let the tides of life flow strong snd
healthy let th mechanio be com th
manager of great Industrial enterprise,
tbe clerk the great merchant and finan
cier, th farmer's boy ths farmer, the
great railroad manager, lawyer or states
man. Let no inordinate Individual wealth
cramp the opportunities, or by luxury
and vice corrupt the foundation of our
national life.
