That is their right and in view of things, is their duty. “T have to say in respect to Mr. Tawney's action in voting for the bill and my action in signing it, is that I believed that the interests of the country, the interests of the party, re- quired me to #acrifice the accomplish- ment of certain things of the tariff which I hati hoped for in order to maintain party = solidarity, which T beliege to be much more im- portant than the reduction of rates in one or two schedules of the tariff.” Remarkably Plain Spoken Defen: President Taft's speech was a re- markably plain spoken defense of the Payne bill. He has been met with many queries since the beginning of his trip as to when- he intended. tak- ing up the subject of the tariff and theer was marked disappointment in Chicago yesterday among those who had the reception of the president in charge that he did not elect to speak there on this most important subject. Mr, Taft waited until this afternoon when with a mass of facts and figures before him, with a new statement just prepared by Chairman Payne of the house committee on ways and means and with his own.personal knowledge of all the intimate details of the tariff fight in Washington still fresh in his mind,"he sat down in a state room in his private car and dictated to two stenographers the speech he delivered tonight which represents a statement of the accomplishments and demerits of the Payne bill, from an administra- tion point of view, more thorough in its simple appeal for an understand- ine by the people, than any document that has heretofore been issued from any source. How the Measure of the Bill Should Be Takel The statement contained only enough | figures to make clear a point which the president has dwelt upon for some time in his confidential talks, that the measure of the bill should be taken by the amount of reductions made on ar- ticles of general consumption com. pared with the increases on articles little used. The president, by means of a table prepared at his request by Mr. Payne, showed that the tariff had been incredsed on articles whose consump- tion in this country amounts yearly to $651,000,000 and that of this amount such $379,000,000 is represented by luxuries as silks, wines, liquors, per- fumes and pomades, leaving a balance of $272,000,000 representing increases Against this| on articles not luxuries. e best tariff measure To this tement, the crowd in the n the revisjom| VOTERS HEAR REPORT OF THE EXPERT ACCOUNTANT. GUILFORD TOWN TREASURER Appears to Be Short in His Accounts a Little Over $6,000—Town Meet- ing ‘Held Friday Afternoon. Guilford, Conn, Sept. 17.—With calmness which was almost unexpect- ed the voters of .Guilford this after- noon in the largest town meeting for years heard the report of the expert accountant who has been investigating the books of Town Treasurer George 8| Davis, and learned that the net shortage in those accounts is a little over $6,000. Alleged Irregularities. It was stated that the alleged irreg- ularities extended over a number of years and were concealed by falsifica- tions on the books from tima to time, S0 that false balances were forced ‘when .the .time came to make the an- nal ‘reports. The total amount of the h appeared to be about $12,- 000, but against this Davis had turned over to the ‘town personal notes and moftzages of about $5,000. Davis, who has been ill, it is understood, has no means with' which to meet the out- standing. indebtedness. 4 The town’s affairs in a financial way are such that the taxpayers will prob- ably be called upon to meet a deht of a_considerable amount, although the expert accountant is to continue his inquiry, taking up in particular the accounts of various boards of select- men yno served, during the period cov- cred by the treasurer's falsified ac- counts. Town Meeting Resolutions. A resolution as presented to the meeting instructing the selectmen to take action to collect the shortage from those responsible for such short- age and to prosecute. ‘The words “to prosecute” were cut out by an amendment and the resolu- tion as it then stood was passed. Another resolution passed instructel the selectmen “not to prosecute former selectmen for the shortage unless they are criminally responsible.” Accountant’s Report Diseus: ‘There was some discussion of the ac- countant’s report and the condition of affajrs, but save one speaker, the argu- ments were not bitter and it was evi- dent that sympathy for Mr. Davis led most of those taking part to avoid any denunciation of that official. One speaker, however, was a trifle vindic- tive, holding that Davis was .only partly to blame and that former se- :electmen should share the responsibil- ty. ¢ The passage of the resolution is tak- en to yoice only the sentiment of the meeting. It was evident that the townsmen knew, .that if the state should make a move in the matter of shopfages that the statutes which require” =plectmen tp bond the town treasurer, a precaution not taken for many years in the case of Davis, would be resorted to and the action of the town MM%WOUN be of little weight. The insf fons to the accountant to continue inquiry into the accounts of the selectmen for the past dozen Years or_more, means another report. George W.

Har(ltfid, Sept. 17.—While bound out of this city for Springfield, Mass., to- night, a New York, New laven & Hartford railroad express sideswiped a freight train which was backing in- to a siding. The freight engine was derailed and damaged and four loaded freight cars were tossed from the track into a ditch and completely wrecwed, while a fifth, though stand- ing on the ties, was badly damaged. The mail coach of the express was damaged. No one was hurt, although the passengers were given a good shaking up. Annual Meeting National Association of Naval Veterans. Philadelphia, Sept. 17.—William H. Egbert, Newark, N. J. was chosen fleet commander at the annual meet- ing here today of the National Asso- clation of Naval Veterans. Other of. ficers, elected included fleet pavmaster and secretary, Harry M. Callum, and fleet ' boatswain, William Jones, both of New Haven. ————— e the president, “and I wish it could have been otherwise. “It is the one important defect in the bill and in the performance of the promises of the party platform, That it will increase the price of woolen cloths or clothes, however, 1 very much doubt. As to cotton goods, the president as- serted that it was found by the tak- ing of evidence that on the lower grades of goods the manufacturers were only making a decent profit. As to the higher grades, it was found that through court decisions the rates had been reduced to a peint below those chafged on the lower grades. This called for a readjustment and a change from ad valorem to specific rates. “As to whether the rates on cotton goods are higher thar, they ought to be,” said the president, “it was a question of evidence. I will not de- fend this evidence, but we hope soon to know more about the tariff than we did at the beginning . of this fight” Duties of New Tariff Commission. President Taft dwelt at some length upon_ his interpretation of the duties and scope of activity of the new tariff commission, which it has been assert- cd in some quarters was made into an innocuous body by senate amend- ments to the bill. Mr, Taft has main- tained -all along that the commission, as finally authorized, could accom- plish all that could be desired.
