New York, Oct. 4. New York bond
ed warehouses, jammed to capacity
with imports roughly valued at $70,
000,000 began today to disgorge them
selves as importers released their pro

toms house opened an hour before the
usual time, and with fifteen addition
al clerks pressed into service, was to
remain open till midnight. Duties
will be assessed on the basis of the
Payne-Aldrich act, but refunds, where
necessary will be made when official
copies of the new laws are received.
The condition confronting the Im
porters today was the reverse of what
it was four years ago when the Payne
Aldrich law became effective. Then,
instead of holding goods in bonds and
releasing them at reduced rates,
steamships raced to port with commo
dities on which higher duty was to he
charged. Several vast consignments
came in just in the nick of time.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 4. With
the Democratic tariff law consummat
ed, activity today was transferred
from the halls of congress to the
treasury department, where Secretary
McAdoo and assistant secretaries be
gan the development of a plan of en
forcement. Treasury officials declar
ed that the new act will be the lowest
tariff law in the history of the coun
try with the possible exception of the
Walker tariff of 1846 and its amneda
tory tariff of 1857. With President
Wilson and the congressional framers
of the law, they declared it was a
competitive tariff and freely expressed
the conviction that business would
be invigorated and ,S'istained.lhojyiJ
its operation.
Officials were equally confident that
it would aiVoid the government ample
revenue.
It is roughly estimated that $100,
000,000 worth of merchandise, held in
bond, soon will be withdrawn and
payment of duty made under the new
law. Compared with the Payne-Aldrich
act, this will mean a loss of
$10,000,000 to the government. Treas
ury officials maintained that these
withdrawals would have no percep
tible effect on the business of the
country.
The most difficult administrative
feature of the new act is the income
tax provision. This entirely new ven
ture will require the work of experts
to draft a workable plan that will in
jure the government receiving its
lawful dues from every taxable citi
zen. Under advice from the state depart
ment, the treasury department is
about to instruct collectors of cus
toms to assess duties against imports
from Germany, Canada and Mexico
and other countries not having special
treaty arrangements to the contrary,
at the full rates, laid down in the
Underwood tariff act. unless they
were imported into the United States
in ships of American registry, in
which case they will be entitled to a
differential of 5 per cent.
The maximum duties will not apply
to goods from Prussia, because of the
continuance in force of the old treaty
v.ith that country, but goods from all
other parts of Germany would have to
pay the additional 5 per cent. Like
wise, the Canadian shipping on the
Lakes will be charged full rates for
their cargoes imported into the United
States, while similar goods brought
across the Lakes in American ships
-v. ill enjoy the 5 per cent remission,
The officials are now seeking an
answer to the question as to whether
the new rates will apply to the
enormous store of goods now held in
bond in Xew York for entry under the
new tariff law.
The immediate effect of this stand
ol the part of the government is ex-1
pected to be hasty application from
the countries adversely affected for a
revision of their existing treaties with
the United States. Russia will also
be obliged to negotiate a completely
rtw treaty to replace that denounced
last year, if she wishes to secure the
favored treatment for her exports in
Russian ships.
Those who expect to find American
stores immediately cutting prices be
cause the new tariff bill is now law,
will be disappointed, in the opinion of
Representative Underwood, one of its
authors. It will be many months, 'Mr.
T'nderwood believes, before the effect
of the new tariff bill becomes ap
parent to the consumer.
"It is only competition caused bj
the new law that is going to reduoe
prices," said Mr. Underwood. "It will
be several months before the effect 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 effort
oe sugar not for several years."
Mr. Underwood left Washington to-
Atlantic City for a week s va i
lie is suffering from a bad j
cold.
Steel Products Lower.
Xew York, N. Y., Oct. 4. Steel man- j
uracturers were reported here today
to be considering a reduction of from :
$2 to a ton in the price of their j
prolucta to meet the lowering of steel j
duties in effect today under the. new j
tariff schedule. The possibility of j
competition from German and British !
manufacturers was said to be respon- J
sible for the move.
Germany Will Protest.
Berlin, Oct. 4. In commenting on
the new American tariff act, the Tag
liche Rundschau today demands that
the German government protest most
frrcibly and decisively against any at
i tempt to deprive imports carried to
the fnited States in German ships of
the 5 per cent reduction.
"Americans," sads the newspaper,
"must be treated in such matters with
nr. iron hand." The other newspa
pers do not comment on the new tar
iff. The foreign office insists that the
guarantee of the "most favored na
tion" treatment contained in the old
Prussian American treaty is applic
able in this case, but no special state
ment in regard to the matter will be
made until the foreign office has In
vestigated further.
Several of the newspapers comment
or the signature of the tariff act as
a great personal victory for President
Wilson and warn German exporters
against undue hopes of increased ex
ports. CURRENCY BILL
MAY BE SENT
TO SENATE IN NOV.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 4. An inef
fectual attempt to hasten considera
tion of the administration currency
till in the senate banking and cur
rency committee, was made by the
supporters of the measure today. Sen
ator Shafroth argued vainly for an
agreement to close hearings on the
till next Saturday, Oct. 11, but Repub
licans on the committee protested vig
orously. Senators Reed and Hitchcock, Dem
ocrats, who have opposed hurrying
the bill, were not present.
H. C. Jewett, a business man of
Aberdeen, S, D., appearing before the
committee, declared that small banks
iu the northwest and in other agri
cultural sections of the country were
forced to carry the farmer for long
time loans on paper which would re
ceive none of the advantages of the
bill
J.' C. Jiassett, 'president of the Aber
deen National bank of Aberdeen, said
that . the measure discriminated J
aeainst. national banks and that he
would advise stockholders of his bank
to leave the national system and take
out a stale charter it the bill went into
effect.
Members of the committee express
ed the opinion that it would be pos
sible to reach an agreement to close
the hearings on October 111. 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 November.

still determined to testify, he has not
yet convinced his counsel that this is
the wise course. Some are said still
to entertain the hope that they can
convince the governor that if .he
opens the way for cross examination
he will make a big mistake.
Asked today at what stage of the
proceedings the governor would be In
troduced, TJ. Cady Herrick, his chief
counsel, said:
"I am not saying that he will tes
tify." Counsel for the board of managers
are convinced, however, that all the
advice of his counsel and all their
pleadings will be futile now that he
has decided to testify. Their great
est hope is that Sulzer will testify in
the manner he has suggested, "telling

convince him it will be best to tell
only a little of his story or not take
the stand at all, the trial should end
within a few days.

BRYAN ISSUES A
LENGTHY STATEMENT
Washington, D. (.'., Oct. . Pres.-,
dent Wilson went to the gou ihiks
earlv today, according to his Satur-j
day custom, and when he returned to
the White House shortly before noon
found many telegrams congratulating
him on the signing of the new tariff
bill. With the congratulations, came
in many cases, the sentiment, "now
lor currency legislation." 1
In this spirit the president took up
the task of accomplishing the second
big measure of his administration. At
the white house and executive quar
ters generally there is confidence that
the currency bill, already passed by
ti,u hmmp. w 1 be passed uy me

ate and signed by the P'ident be
lore many weeks. The opinio, prevail.
that if the work is not completed De-
fore the December session of congress
begins, it surely would be by Janu
ary. ,
Secretary Bryan today endorsed the
new tariff law as the best tariff meas
ure since the civil war and predicted
the early passage of the currency bill.
Mr. Bryan issued this statement:
"The tariff law that went into force
last night is the best tariff measure,
since the civil war and all who have.
taken part iu preparing ana passes
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 conditions are such as to
make the present law possible.

ders to arrest the man from whose
flat the body was taken late yester
day afternoon.
The child was Identified as Lulu Sa
lerno by Mrs. Louise Roeber, who
said she was the child's grandmother.
Mrs. Roeber told the police that her
daughter, Lulu's mother, had quar
reled with her husband, Michael Sa
lerno, a lioston barber at Columbia
University, and left him a year ago to
live with another man. Lulu, she said
was one of three children and was
taken by Mrs. Salerno when the home
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
Fishera, over whom Mrs. Salerno and
her husband had quarreled. The
other was Joseph Dp. Puma. De Puma
and Fishera, Mrs. Roeber said, occu

flat that, the child's body was taken

remove the body. In the flat he saw
a blonde woman weeping. When de

The theory advanced was that the
