NEW YORK, Oct. 4. Tho first effect
of the now tariff to, which President
"Wilson's signature was written last
night, waa seen early today when the
clerical force at the customs house was
Increased by fifteen men In anticipation
of one of the busiest days the history
of this port
In no customs district In the country
will there be greater activity during the
first few days Of tho tariff than at the
port of New Tork, for In the forty-eight
bonded warehouses there Is over $MXX,(X
worth of goods awaiting withdrawal, Im
rorters have been Impatient to get their
goods on the market, and It was expected
they would attempt to withdraw more
than half of this great store at once.
There la almost every conceivable thing
In the warehouses, but the chief things
are cottons, linens, woolens, furs, silks,
nuts, leather goods, dried fruits, pickled
fish and leaf tobacco.
New York bonded warehouses, jammed
to capacity with Imports roughly valued
at $70,000,000, began today to disgorge
themselves as Importers released their
products under the reduced rates of the
new tariff law, The New York customs
house opened an hour before the usual
time and with fifteen additional clerks
pressed Into service, was to remain open
till midnight. Duties wlU be assessed on
the basis of the Payne-Aldrlch act, but
refunds, where necessary, will be adopted
when official copies of the new laws are
received.
The. situation confronting Importers to
day was the reverse of what H was
four years ago, when the PaynejAlArlch
law became' effective. Then, Instead of
holding good's in bond and releasing
them, at jreducyd rate's seaVMhllr40fl
tdlDort'w'ltk comrrioditlea'on. which higher
- fldeyasancilrgr6eTetalasVi
consignments came in just in tna mctc
of time.
Huge shipments -will soon begin to ar
rive from abroad. More than sixty
brokers were in, line when the customs
house opened. The rush of withdrawals
continued without abatement all day. It
was estimate! that 5,000 separate ship
ments would be withdrawn during the
day Instead of the usual 600.
The great bulk of the goods withdrawn
was fft shipments admitted free of duty
under the new tariff, but which would
have been assessed under tho Payne
Aldrlch law.
""teel manufacturers were reported here
today to be considering a reduction of
from f2 to $3 a ton In the price of their
- products to meet the lowering of steel
duties1 -in effect today under the hew
tariff schedule. The possibility of com
petition from German and British manu
facturers was said to be responsible for
the move.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 4.-Those who ex
pect to find American stores immediately
cutting prices because the new tariff bill
Is now a law, will be disappointed in
the opinion of Representative Undcr-
wooa, one oc us auinors. it wm do
many months, Mr. Underwood believes,
before the effect of the new tariff bill
becomes apparent to the consumer.
"It Is only competition, caused by the
new law, that is going to reduce prices,"
said Mr. Underwood today. "It will be
several months before the effects of the
new tariff on commodities is felt and
In many cases It may be a year. The
effect on wool probably will not show
until next spring; the full effect on
sugar not for several years."
Mr. Underwood left Washington today
for AUantlo City for a week's vacation.
He is suffering from a bad cold.
Order for Preferential Treatment.

Methodist Bishops
Differ on Question
of Making Transfers
WEBSTER CITY. la.. Oct. .-(Special.)
The Northwest Iowa Methodist confer
ence, in session In this city, today got
up against a proposition which caused
considerable discussion In the upper
Iowa conference last week In Tipton. It
Is the matter of barring ministers from
other conferences coming into the bigger
charges of this conference and of per
mitting ministers in this conference from
leaving to accept better pastorates In
other conferences. And while the con
test Is of the very friendliest it Is being
vigorously fought out over the specltlo
instance of Rev. W. H. Spenco of Fort
Dodge, who lias a call from the Cedar
Kails church In the upper ibwa confer
ence Just now tho unusual spectaole is be
ing witnessed of two bishops at the con
ference, one on one 'side of tho question
and one on the other. Bishop Shepard
of Kansas City, who Is presiding over
tho deliberations of the conference, in
clines toward the view, of keeping min
isters from going from one conference
to another. He is opposed to the trans,
fer or Rev. Mr. Spcnce. On the other hand
Bishop Bristol of Omaha, resident bishop
of the conference, arrived in tho city to
day to appear In bohalf of the Cedar
Falls church and champion the transfer
of Rev. Mr. Spence. It Is difficult to fore
cast the outcome. And to add to the
difficulty of the matter, a large dele
gation of Fort Dodge Methodists called
on Bishop Shepard' In tho afternoon to'
ask the retention of Rev. Mr. Spence.
At the business session, the supernu
merary and superannuated lists were
gone over. The following' new ministers
were received Into full membership in
the conference: Lester Dale, A. J. Trent,
Arthur Bottom, L. Mitchell, W. H, Wln-
tersteln. The following were taken Into
the conference on trial: George A.
Moyer, L. E. Wordell, L. G. Gardner,
M. L. Metcalf, Otto EX Ellison, Thomas
K. Griffith, John L. Ralston. Rev. C.
Raymond Dix was discontinued from
connection with the conference. ' A col
lection was taken for his benefit, how-
over.
Dr. Craig of Sioux City, president of
Mornlngslde college,' was here Friday
and was an interested spectator at tha
business session. Ho enlivened the ses
sion much by rising to object to any
general custom of receiving men Into
the conference whose educational stand
ards are not high. "We cannot afford,"
said he, "to flit up our ranks with men
not up to standard." His position was
applauded.
Aberdeen Bankers
Says Currency Bill
Favors Large Banks
WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-An .Ineffectual
fnMSm'toTVsle of the
administration currency bill In the senata
banking nnd currency committee - was
tnade vby supporters pf the measure to
day. Senator Shafroth argued vainly for
an agreement to Close hearings on the
bill next Saturday, October 11, but re
publicans on the committee protested
vigorously. Senators Reed nnd Hitch
cock, democrats, " who have opposed
hurrying the bill, were not present,
H. J. Jen'ett, a business man of Aber
deen, S. D., appealing before the com
mittee declared that small banks In the
northwest and in other agricultural sec
tions of the country had little or nous
of the ninety-day commercial paper made
eligible in the bill for rediscount and as
a basis for ourrency. He said that the
country banker -was forced to carry the
farmer for long time loans on paper
which woUld receive none of the advan
tages of the bill.
J. C. Bassett, president of the Aberdeen
National bank of Aberdeen said the
measure discriminated against national
banks and that he would advise stock
holders of his bank to leave the national
system and take out a state charter If
the 111 went Into effect.
Members of the 'committee expressed
the opinion that it would be possible to
reach an agreement to close the hearings
on October 16. How long the committee
would consider the bill after that date
cannot be conjectured, but an effort will
be made to report to the senate early In
December.
Brokaw Released on
Own Recognizance
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 4.-Fred Bro
kaw, alias Fred Bpley, hold here for ex
tradition by the state of Pennsylvania
on charges that he robbed a Pittsburgh
merchant in a hotel there, was released
today by order of a police Judge on his
own recognizance.
His counsel gave out that they would
bring suit against the Pittsburgh chief
of police and the Pittsburgh citizen who
identified Brokaw's photograph in the
Pittsburgh .rogues' gallery as that of
the man who robbed him for $5,000 dam
ages on grounds of false arrest.
The police department here notified the
Judge that they were requested by the
Pittsburgh police to hold .Brokaw and
that the matter was still In the hands
of the district attorney there. The court
held that there was nothing to show
that either zeal or expedition was being
used '.to press the case, and that Bro
kaw's alibi waa so strong that he ought
not to be held unless further evidence
against him was forthcoming.

COMMONER PRAISES TARIFF BILL
Secretary of State Says it is Much

KECUTIVE AND CONGRESS
Declares October Third Marks -Kco-nomla
Kpocli In History of '
the Irenent Genera
tion. WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-President Wll
son went to the golf links early today,
according to his Saturday custom. When
he returned to the White House shortly
before noon he found many telegrams
congratulating him on the signing of tho
new tariff bill. With the congratulations
came in many cases the sentiment,
"Now for currency legislation."
In this spirit the president took "up the
task of accomplishing the .second, big
measure of his administration. At the
White House and executive quarters
there Is confidence that the currency bill
already passed by th house will bo
passed "by tile senate and signed by thk
president before many weeks. Thb
opinion prevails that if the work Is not
completed before the December session
of congress begins, it surely will be by
January 1:
Brrnn Prnlacft BUI.
Secretary Bryan today endorsed the
now tariff law as the best tariff meas
ure sfnee-the civil war and predlc,tsd the
early passage of the currency bill. Mr.
Bryan Issued tnls statement:
"The tariff law that went Into force
last night Is the best tariff measure
since the war and alt who have taken
part In preparing and passing It are
entitled to great credit. It Is a better
bill than we were able to pass twenty
years ago and I rejoice that political con
ditions are such as to malto the present
law possible."
"The Wilson bill was compelled to
carry a burden that will not fall on the
present law and ought not to have fallen
on that law. The WiUon law provided
for on income tax "which was held un
constitutional by a divided Vote, the
one majority having been secured by a
change of opinion on the part of one
Judge between the two hearings of the

this compelled' an Increase uf ' Indebted
ness that threw on the 'bill an Unde
served odium, which, together with the
fact that t!e senate deprived the bilf of
some of its best features, robbed the
party of tho benefit which would ordi
narily have come to it from a reduc
tion in Import duties. Then,- too, ti
bill went Into operation at a time when
financial Conditions wcro bad1 and many
attributed to the 'law ' the defects for
which It wa,s not at ail responsible.
Praises Wilson and Congress.
"I mentioned the' law nineteen years
ago, because it Is the only thing Blnce
the war wlthwhlch we can compare the
present law. Both economic as well
as political conditions make it possible
to do now what could not be done then.
We have, too, at this time, a united
party, which Is a great asset. The presi
dent and the democrats of the IioUbb and
senate' have been in sympathy and have
worked unitedly In the accomplishment
of this Important work. They share tho
honors together and the honors are suf
ficient to give distinction to all who have
participated.
"October 3 marks an Important epoch
In the economic history of the genera
tion and I am confident that It will not
be long before the country will be able
to celebrate a second triumph for the
president', congress, the party and the
country when the new currency bill
passes and receives the president's signa
ture." Stores and Opera

Nebraska Btato Teachers' association,
which will meet lh Omaha cajly In No
vember.' As a rsult of a bit of history
recently uncovered, 'thoy are , takliiK
measures to support him. to the .utmost
of their ability
According to the story the 'campaign
all grows out of efforts by a group of
Lincoln and South Platte educators to
prevent the selection of Dr, .Thomas as
president 'of tho University of Arkansas,
for which he was favorably considered
within the last year. The selection .of
Dr. Thomas was practically doctded upon
when Arkansas authorities received a
battery of letters bearing upon Dr.
Thomas in an especially unfavorable
light and all signed by prominent edu
cators of Nebraska.
Negotiations were abruptly halted, It Is
said, and in fact were called off by the
Arkansas board and President J. A. Kirk
land of Vanderbllt university, Nashville,
Tenn., was elected to the position for
which Dr. ThomaB had been favorably
considered at a salary of $7,500 a year.
But Just at this Juncture, the Carnegie
Institution released a fund of $1,000,000
for the Vanderbllt school for a new medi
cal college with the understanding that
Dr. Klrkland should be retained as the
school's head, 'He was retained In Ten
nessee and then negotiations were, again
opened with Dr. Thomas, the peculiarly
of the situation appealing to the Arkan
sas board. They Invited Dr. Thomas to
Little Rock for a conference, telling
him that the covert attack made upon
him seemed peculiar In' the extreme when
up to that time there had been nothing
but expressions of good will for hlni
from the Nebraskans who had been con
sulted. ..
Dr. Thomas, It Is said, at the confer
ence In Little Rock, was permitted to
read all the letters sent against him and
he found that a small coterie of men
In Lincoln and surrounding towns with
a leading educator who has since lsft
the stato were prominent In opposition
to him In secret fashion . He declared
that he would not accept the place un
der any cloud of this character In view,
of his accomplishment in Nebraska, hav
ing built up the school at Kearney from
Its Inception.
There the matter now stands, exoept
that it Is understood that Dr. Thomas
yesterday while in Lincoln consulted his
friends over the matter and one, former
Governor Aldrich, advised him that the
letter written against him w6uld make
the basis for a personal damage suit that
would have excellent standing in court.

,NBW YORK, Oct. 4.-The mystery sur
rouhdlng the murder of a golden-haired
child of 3 years yesterday began to clear
today with the Identification of the body,
the arrest of the baby's mother and the
Issuance of orders to arrest the man
from whose flat the body was taken late
yesterday afternoon.
The child was identified as Lulu Salerno
by Mrs. Louise Roebcr, who said she
was the grandmother. Mrs. Roeber told
the pollco that her daughter, Lulu's
mother, had quarreled with her husband,
Michael Salerno, a barber at Columbia
university, and left hjm a year ago to
live with another man. Lulu, she said,
was one of throe children and was taken
by Mrs. Salerno when the homo was
broken up,
Mrs. Salerno last left her mother's
home, according to the mother, a month
ago with two men. One of them, Mrs.
Roeber said, was Tony Flshero, ovor
whom Mrs. Salerno and her husband
had quarreled; the other was Joseph Do
Puma, De Puma and Flshora, Mrs.
Roeber said, occupied the same flat. It
was frdm this flat that the child's body
was taken to tho morgue. A general
alarm has been Issued for Do Puma's ar
rest. The police asserted this afternoon that
Mrs. Salerno was living at the flat when
the child waa murdered. Mrs. Salerno
was hysterical when arrested this after
noon. The child's body was brought to the
morgue In a macaroni box last night by
Ralph Pasqua, an undertaker, who told'
a tale of having been coerced at a
pistol's point to go to the gunman's fiat
and remove the body. In the flat he saw
a blonde woman, weeping. When de
tectives reached the flat la'ter she was
gone and with her the gunman.
The theory advanced waa that the little
girl had been kidnaped and was being
held for ransom. There is no police
record, however, of a child 'of that de
scription being missing.
The undertaker was held today, pend
ing further Investigation of the matter.
He says the gunman told him that he had
killed the child as she begged for water

feel that this should be an Incentive to
work harder for tty next year's festivi
ties. Secretary J. D. Weaver said at the
close of the season! "There should be
3,000 members of Ak-Sar-Ben next year?
The success of this year should be an
Incentive, to tho, business men of Omaha
to get into the wagon and boosjt for "next
year. Thoy ought to get in early and
pay their dues without waiting to b
asked, each year. They should not stand
back and Jet these governors do all the
pushing the year round. Tlteso governors
have worked Uko troopers day and night
for months and. have spent money Ulifc
drunken sailors getting things In shape
for the big event,' and it la hardly right
that they should he expected to do It
all."
Just how Ak-Sar-Bon Is -.coming out
financially this year the governors can
not say yet. No financial statement will
ba ready perhaps for a week or two.
The bills this year hava been kept paid
up moro closely than ever before, so that
now that the season Is closed there wilV,
not be as many back bills to clean up
before the books can beNflnally closed.
