Jng for some teacher. Late Saturday

New York, April 13. That Charles

case on the trial calendar for retrial
during the coming April term of the U.

mildly, as more than .25 was realized!

Patrons were attracted by the bright
smiles of the busy little girls and
their business-like air, and their dain

Discrimination Against Ameri

In Favor of the German Pro-

As a result of the recent business
trip made by S. S. Strattan, Jr. to
Russia the exorbitant tariff rate on
American and English farming im-
plements, which was placed in effect
, several months ago, has been reduced

" ' Hlqh Rate'-Prdhlbitlve. i "
It is stated that on Mr. St rattan's
arrival in Kief, Riifsla, he learned to
his dismay that a recent order of the
Russian tariff coin mission had rrae
tically excluded Ameriea'n-made farm
ing machinery from being brought In
to the country owing to the exceeding
ly high rate. . A large shipment of
Caar, Scott & Co., threshers was en
route to Russia and if the high tariff
rate had to be paid on this machinery
it meant a net loss of several thous
ands of dollars to the local concern.
Quick action was imperative, so Mr.
Strattan wired to the United States
ambassador at St. Petersburg and ask
ed for an appointment. The ambas
sador replied by wire, summoning Mr.
Strattan to St. Petersburg.
Rate Was Reduced.
He at once left on his J.w mile trf
Petersburg, where he placed the eaae
in the hands of the American repre
sentative. The ambassador secured
an Interview with the Russian minis
ter of foreign affairs and after he had
been shown how unjustly the new
'Russian tariff discriminated against

tiirei's. the minister brought lit in.
i fluence to bear in having the tariff
'rate reduced materially. It was dis
