LITTLE LOSS OF RfflUEX FROM NEW WOOL TARIFF Underwood Claims It Will No'c Be More Than $1,348,000. EXPECTS INCREASED IMPORTS Debate on the Revision Measure Prob. ably Will Not Occupy More Than Ten Days. i i Eagle Bureau, 1 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington.

June 3 When the House Democrats pass their revision of the wool schedule In the tariff they will have completed every important In the programme they set for thSuselves Just two months ago. Other tariff revision measures may come at the present session, yet It Is not likely. That will depend largely upon the length ot the session and the Judgment of the leaders as to whether It will be wise to do more Just now. Ten days of debate may be occupied on the wool schedule. This is less than was devoted to reciprocity or the free list bill, but Chairman Underwood of the Ways and Means Committee does not think that a longer time will be required.

Most of the men on both sides who were anxious to make tariff speeches at the present session already have done so. Thus it may happen that the Democrats will remove the keystone of the protection arch, as wool has been called, with less talk than was occasioned by some of their other deeds. It Is not denied on either side that the Democrats have made a remarkable record for expeditious legislation during their two months ot power In the House. They have avoided party differences with great skill and have grievously disappointed the Republicans thereby. They look upon the wool schedule as about as clever a piece of legislation as they have ever devised.

1 One of the surprises of this bill waj the rlalm made by Its authors that It will not reduce the government custom duties on wool by more than $1,348,000. It was generally believed that if he Democrats cut the wool duties In half, which they have done, they would knock a big hole In the revenues. They themselves feared It. But Mr. Underwood 1 says the estimated reduction Is a conservative one, and tiat It may not oe even as great as that, If the bill becomes a law.

The Democrats figure on a large Increase In the amount of wool Importations, but In the raw and manufactured article, and they get down to pretty close figures on it. Underwood's Estimate. When Mr. Underwood was asked today how those figures were arrived at he Bald: "They are not mere guesswork. They are as close an estimate as can be made by experts.

1 regard them as conservative. The method we adopted was to take the Wilson tariff as a basis for calculation. We chose the year 1896, because during the prior year there was a business panic, while during the Dingley tariff law was imminent and there was an unusual amount of Importation. We made a series of comparisons, first with the McKlnley law, which preceded the Wilson tariff. It Is a lather Intricate process, but the result -showed the range of importations in proportion to the tariff rates.

Then we reversed the process, and compared the -Wilson law with the Dingley law, wbicb succeeded It. "It this way we obtained, first, the effect upon Importations of a change from a high to a low tariff, and second, the effect produced by the next change, from a low tariff to a high one. In this work the committee had the assistance of It3 own expert mathematician. We also secured the services of an expert In the Census Bureau and another in the Treasury Department. As a result of all these calculations we feel confident that we are well within the conservative list when we sav there will be an Increase of nearly $20,000,000 in the value of raw wool Imported under the law we propose and an Increase in the value of manufacturing of wool of over $10,000,000.

With these large increases we can cut th duties In half and lose very littl" revenue, as compared with the present receipts of the Treasury from the wool schedule." The wool bill will be reported favorably to the House when It convenes Tuesday, the Ways and Means Committee so deciding to-day. There was a strict party vote on the bill, fourteen Democrats 'approving and seven Republicans voting against it. Representative Hill ot Connecticut introduced a resolution urging postponement of action until winter, which was voted down. The resolution characterized the Underwood bill as a "radical departure from all former recognized revenue policies of the country." VETERAN ILLEGALLY REMOVED Albany. June 3 Supreme Court Justice Howard.

In a decision to-day, holds that Caius A. Weaver, a veteran, was Illegally removed as a special agent In the excise department. The decision Is expected to have au important effect on the action of Commissioner Farley In recently dismissing several special agent3, many of whom were veterans. BROOKLYN GIRL TO WED. Dr.

A. Bonoff, a physician of Colchester, Is to wed Miss Anna Elowsky of Brooklyn on Tuesday evening. Miss E'-owsky will leave Brooklyn for Connecticut on Monday, where the wedding wlllv take place. l'- The survivors of the Sixty-seventh New I York Volunteers, also known as the First Long Island Volunteers, celebrate the anniversary of their departure for the Civil War on June 20 of each year, with a dinner, but this year the celebration will be of particular Interest because of the fact that it is the fiftieth anniversary since the war. The regiment has a remarkable hlBtory.

Besides the two names given to it, It was also known as the Brooklyn Phalanx, and as Beecher's Regiment. The great preacher, who, by his patriotic addresses, did so much to make clear to the people of the country that the issue of the strife was whether there should be slavery in all the states of America or none of them, was the moving spirit In its organization. Seven Regiments Recruited in Brook. lyn. Companies I and were recruited at Brooklyn; Company at G30RG6 O.

Sclo, Alleghany County; at Clyde, Wavna County, and at Rochester. But the first three companies named and were particularly known as Beecher's Pets. The preacher's son, Harry Barton Beecher, was a lieutenant In Company and James C. Beecher, his brother, and a minister, also, was the chaplain of the regiment when it first went to war. Afterwards, James C.

Beecher, for whose snirlt the most active service had the greatest attraction, became colonel of the One Hundred and Forty-first Infantry. There are not more than forty survivors of the regiment, all told, In the United States, and of this number about half live in Brooklyn. The list of survivors at the present time, so far as can be ascertained, is as follows: Captain Henry B. Beecher, Major Thomas M. K.

Mills, General Lewis M. Peck, Colonel George B. Lincoln, Captain Edward K. RubscII, Captain Charles Cro-well. Lieutenant Valentine M.

Hodgson, Lieutenant Howard W. Philllps.Lieuten-ant Edward Scherer, Charles Balogh, John H. Bogart, John Beatty, John H. niehsrd fnnlon. Burleigh L.

Mills, president; Contain iwileo tVP.p!llv. treasurer, and General Lewis M. Peck, secretary. The executive committee consists of George K. Cross, Richard J.

Conlon, John Kunzl, Joseph J. Gill and Henry Metcalf. Altogether, there were about 1.4TO men in the regiment. Eleven hundred went in 18(51 and 3IW more were recruited during the war. Some idea of the severity of the ordeal through which the regiment passed may be gathered from the REVIEW AT WEST POINT.

Exercises Preliminary to Graduation Have Begun. The graduation exercises of the United States Military Academy at West Point commenced June 1 with a review by ths Superintendent, Major-General Thomas H. Barry, U. S. Army.

He was accompanied by his aides and the members of the Academic Board. Following the review General and Mrs. Barry held a reception of the officers and women of the post and guests. The commencement proper will be on Tuesday. June 13.

but as is the custom, there will be military, athletic and other events each day from June 1 to the day of graduation for the entertainment of the relatives and friends of the graduates and officers who return to the Academy each year at this time. ALUMNAE JJAUT ADELPHI "Grads" of Fourteen Years Gather and Entertain One Another at College. It was Alumnae Day at Adelphl College yesterday afternoon and evening. Graduates from the class of 1898 to the class of 1911, whose members were guests, attended and took part In tho festivities. These began late In the afternoon when each class held Its annual class meeting.

After this an Informal reception took place, college friendships were renewed and matters of Interest to t'ie institution were Informally discussed. Supper was then served In the large study hr.Il, where covers were laid for 156. Each class was grouped with Its members about a whole table or a section according to the representation, and at each of the tables one guest from th- faculty was seated. The guests wer? Mrs. Charles H.

Levermore, Mrs. Joseph Bowden, Mrs. Ernest N. Henderson, Mrs. A.

G. Fradenburgh, Mrs. J. A. Sanford, Mrs.

J. F. Coar and Miss Isabel Dix Fisher. The informal gayety that marked the supper was emphasised when each of the classes gave a "stunt" in the auditorium. These were amusing and varied In nuturo.

The class of 1906. for Instance, gave an act from "The Slim Princess." with Miss Pauline Hathaway, who took part In the original production, in the leading role. The class of 1906, followed with "The Evolution of 1906," and the class of 1907 gave a series of moving pictures. 1908, which was. the leap year class, came out with an original production of "Votes for Women," and the class of 1909 mad the flight from the sublime to the ridiculous with a minstrel show.

To cap the climax the class of 1910 gave a funny Indian war dance. The success of the affair was due largely to the work of the committee which arranged It Miss Madplelne Mr-Kechnle, '10. chairman; Miss Julia Plump '00, and Miss Jessie Wilcox '09. The Alumnae play, which was to have come next week, has been postponed till fall. BUTLER STREET COURT All Cases Will Go to Other Districts for the Next Three Months.

NEEDS CLEANING BADLY. Many Changes Will Be Made in the Place Records on the Walls. For' the first time In many years the old District Court at Butler and Court streets is silent and empty. There is no Judge sitting; there are no busy clerks preparing cases, no detention pens full of the usual overnight cases, some trivial, others which grow later into the police sensations of the press. Only one man has been there this week, John E.

Dow-dell, who had been chief clerk there since 1900, nearly twelve years. He was found there last Monday morning, settling up the last details of cases to be handed over to another court, winding up detailed business. Then he will go and leave the carpenters and painters and plumbers to do what they tan to make the old place clean and well-built again, that it may serve as court for many more years to come. It is the oldest court in the city, and was- originally an old Methodist Church. In I860 it was purchased by the city and converted into a courtroom with Michael Walsh as Judge.

According to Clerk Dowdell there used to be an average of 9.000 cases a yenr In the. court, until the Ninth District Court, situated at Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue was instituted to help bear the Nowadays the business of the court is about 5,300 cases a year. There is no formality about the place these days. Mr. Dowdell was sitting at his ease in the clerks' room behind the partition, yesterday, with the pleasant luxury of shirt-sleeves and a cigarette, filling out final blanks for business not yet settled.

The adjourned cases, go to the Adams street court. The new cases are divided between three courts, the Adams street, the Ninth District, and the Fiatbush courts. As the Butler street court will not be habitable again for three months, June July and August, the machinery of the district must run smoothly. The place does look as if it needed painting and plastering badly. The two detention pens have grown to be indescribably filthy, with discolored walls, foul floors and unsanitary lavatories.

But the main repairs are going to be changes in the arrangement of entrances into the clerk's room. Heretofore, people coming for warrants have been forced to come In by tho same door as the prisoners, and to sit over on the prisoners' side on a bench along the wall. This had been long considered bad, and at last is going to be changed. The court room is so big that there Is plenty of space for changes without crowding anyone. So the partition at the back of the room, separating it from the clerk's and magistrate's room, Is to be pushed forward several feet.

This will involve pushing the Judge's bench out toward the center of the room, but even then it will not seriously crowd the place for the witnesses and spectators. A new door will be cut Into the partition on the side of the room near Butler street, and by that people applying for warrants will be able to go directly from the sunken door, on that street, at present unused, to the clerk without being exposed to the prisoners or bothered by the specators. Besides that, everything is to be refurnished, painted, decorated, doors and win-windows fixed, the beams strengthened and especially the detention pens made hsbitable. The sexes are kept apart in the detention pens. The benches there are black and shiny with long usage, the floor will never look clean, no matter how often it is washed, and the walls are covered with drawings and inscriptions.

The men's room, in particular, Is full of these, reminding one of the stories of the students prison at Heidelberg, where generations of youthful Teutons have told the world their story in the same way. There is little or no obscenity, only short records of name and date and charge. One bad as record a tombstone, with name and date of 'hearing. A great many of them run to the names "Red" and "Kid" as praenomens. yet the charges for which they are there seem not to measure up to such celebrity.

One or two of the Inscriptions are Interesting. "Sailor Red, served fi4 years In Sing Sing for the greatest known diamond robbery, valuables worth 167,000.. Released in 1908; now facing charge of highway robbery." There is another, written by some one called "Fat Henry." "Kid Leary Is put bark for sticking up Jew for $1.30. Don't forget to give him the glad hand when he comes up here." Evidently the better-known crook holds his Thursday morning receptions in the detection pen. PLAYGROUND LEAGUE MEETS.

A special meeting of the Playground League was held at Christadora House, Manhattan, on Thursday night. Among the speakers were G. Burdett Lewis, Manfred Welcher, Reuben Simons, Miss Hai1-vey of the Normal Course Division of Adelphl College, Miss Mabel Macomber, president of tie league. Miss Annie Macomber, Miss Jennie E. Rogers.

Miss M. L. Robbins, Miss E. A. Lord, and Mies Van Dorea- MANY CORONATION STANDS UP Military Contin'gcnts From Distant Colonies Begin to Arrive in London London, June 3 The usual dignity and stateliness of the British capital's public buildings, principal parks and streets are being sacrificed to the demands of coronation visitors and sightseers.

The whole neighborhood of Parliament, including the yards of Westminster Abbey and the Parliament buildings, Is covered with huge unsightly wooden stands, most of the way from Trafalgar Square to the Abbey. A complete cordon of barriers with gates has been built on all the streets leading to the line of parade, so that the police may prevent too great crowds from assembling and encroaching on that Military contingents from ais tant colonies have begun to arrive. John Hays Hammond, the special am bnssador to represent the United States at the coronation, who is due here to morrow, will be among the first special ambassadors to arrive. President Taft's brother, Charles P. Taft, has been the recipient of many at tentions, and will have a Beat in the Abbey at the coronation.

American rest. dents In London are taking a prominent part in the entertainments preceding the coronation. FOR FREE PAROCHIAL SCHOOL, On to-morrow afternoon and evening an entertainment will be given at Berke ley Institute, Lincoln place and Seventh avenue, for the benefit of the new pa rochlal free school of St. Augustine's Church, Sixth avenue and Sterling place, of which the Right Rev. Mgr.

Edward McCarty Is rector. The affair is under the management of Miss Lillian D. Good win, and an energetic corps of women friends, who are all working hard to make it a financial success. An attractive musical programme by members of St. Augustine's assisted by several vocalists will be given.

The "Our Lady of LAurdes" win be given In motion pictures, and a number of views will be exhibited. The lecturer. Professor Arthur S. Colborne. will describe and ex plain the pictures.

All the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the little girl, Berna dette Soublrous, In the grotto at Lourdes, In Southern France, in 1858 will be shown, as well as many scenes and Incidents at and around the world-renowned shrine. The ob Jcct of the entertainment is a laudable one, and St. Augustine's parishioners are deeply interested In the undertaking and will have practical encouragement from numerous friends of adjoining parishes ana eisewnere.

Kansas City. June 3 Upon application of John M. Egan. president of the Metropolitan Strept Railway Company of this city, the road was placed in the hands of receivers here late to-day. and best-preserved of the veterans, played a leading part, a year ago.

The first Intention was to deposit the flags In tho State House at Albany, but the plan was changed, and they now repose in a case against the wall in the church auditorium. The regiment was mustered Into the service of the United States for a term of three years, and five companies were discharged on June 20, 1864, returning to Brooklyn and being mustered out on July 4, 1864. Those companies in the regiment not then entitled to their discharge, because of the fact that they were composed of newer recruits who had not gone out in 1861, were formed into a battalion of five companies. In September. 1864, this battalion was consolidated with the Sixty-fifth N.

V. Volunteers, serving with them until the end of the war. The engagements In which the regiment participated were the Siege of Yorktown, April 5 to May 4, 1862: Williamsburg. May 5, 1862; Fair Oaks. May 31.

University Urges Alumni to Be 'Unmitigated Four hundred alumni of the New York University cheered the new Chancellor, Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, when the successor to Chancellor MacCracken was Introduced to "the boss" at their annual reunion, held at the Gymnasium yesterday afternoon. Chancellor Brown was deeply affected by the greeting. He had heard J. Edgar Bull of the class of '78, the president of the Alumni Association, say that the alumni, having seen the new Chancellor, "liked his looks." "I can't tell you how I feel, so I won't try," began Dr.

Brown. "I feel encour aged by this greeting. We have a great work laid out before us. It's going to be a co-operative work or it won't be a go. But I'm sure that It will be a cooperative work and that it will be a go." Dr.

Brown said that he did not believe with those critics of the University who thought its work hampered because It had two downtown branches, the law school on Washington Square and the medical school at Bellevue. He believed that this was a good thing for the university. "I don't see any reason why we should not look forward to larger things for the University. Let us work together. must have your support.

Let ua work together. The best thing you can say or do for the University Is to scatter broadcast that It Is going forward. Be unmitigated optimists." Then the various classes were equipped with banners preparatory to the grand around the grounds behind a brass band, passing through the Hall of Fame and finally bringing up at Ohio Field, where there was a quarter-mile relay race and a 100-yard dash among thu alumni. Lewis B. Read, one of the two survivors nf the class of '47, was pointed out by all the others as a member of a class that never allowed a single year to slip by without holding a class reunion.

There were also present the well-known geologist, Professor J. J. Stevenson of the class of '63, who taught for forty years at the N. Y. Dr.

June 3 President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, has taken a hand In the Jurisdictional fight here between the International Protective Association of Steam Fitters and the United Association of Plumbers and Steam Fitters.

Chicago leaders of both organizations were summoned to-day to a peace conference in Cincinnati to-morrow afternoon by Mr. Gompera. -i JOHN H. dOGffftr statement that of the aggregate number who went out, not more than 300 ever returned to Brooklyn. The regiment was organized under special authority from the War Department, with Colonel Julius W.

Adams as itB commanding officer. At the time when Beecher was receiving responses to his call to arms, enlisting was going on all over the country. Companies and regiments were formed with almost incredible rapidity. In a short time there were more men ready to fight than the Northern people, underestimating at first the seriousness of the war into which they were entering, had any Idea that they would need. Beecher Pays a Visit to Washington.

So It came to pass that when Beecher's regiment was in process of organization Governor Morgan, then the chief executive of New York State, announced that no more men would be needed. With more than a thousand men willing and anxious to fight, it seemed for a while as If their chance to smell powder was to be denied to them. But Beecher was not the. kind of a man to go half lengths In anything. He made a trip to Washington and saw the Secretary of Wnr and President Lincoln personally.

The result was that the regl- EXPECT CONSERVATIVE Bryan Rebuke Looked Upon as Victory for Men Who Hope for Return to Old Ideats. HARMON BOOM STRONGER. Action of House Democrats Is Asso. ciated With Policies of Ohio Governor. Uagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street.

Washington, June 3 The rebuke to William J. Bryan by the Democrats of the House of Representatives has an Important bearing on the presidential campaign of next year, In this resret: It may mean an old-fashioned, conservative Democratic convention. In times when the tendencies are toward radicalism snd progressive ideas, this may sound strange; yet the turndown of Bryan means the triumph of Democrats in Congress who are conservative In their Ideas and who ardently hope to see their party get back to old Ideals next year. One of the most Influential Democrats In Congress, When asked to-day If he expected to see a radical convention noil, year, said: "I do not. I am looking for an old-fashioned Democratic convention.

That Is the Interpretation of what happened In the Democratic House caucus. I think (the party is stronger than it was a week jago. beeau3e of what Its representatives In Congresi. have just done." "Does that mean Harmon of Ohio for President?" "Not necessarily. Put It points to a man of his type." "How about Wilson's progressiva propaganda?" "I think be is making a mistake.

I do not think the party will go that way. We are Mng to try to nominate a man In wheal the public will have confidence, a steady, conservative man of sound judgment auu courage." lutre is no aeuyuig the fact that the Harmon boom has been greatly strengthened within the last forty-eigut hours. What the House did Is associated with tne Harmon idea, it may be mat tne leaders wno accomplished the defeat of oryau larltl pundits will not ue able to get so conservative a convention a3 they would like, but they are decidedly hopeful of it. Oscar V. Underwood of Alabama, who hcaert the anti-Bryan flgnt ana wno won hands down, is a conservative Democrat.

Last year Mr. Underwood was quoted as saying that he believed Harmon was the best candidate for his party. While Un ment was mustered into service. It was first known as the First Long Island Regiment, not taking its state number of the Sixty-seventh until Auguat 19, 1861 Beecher, when the regiment was organized, made an address only he could make one, which will live In tho memory of those who heard It as long as they live themselves. A stand of colors was presented to the regiment, the impressive ceremonies taking place in Plymouth Church.

Many of the soldiers were members of that church. The church the occasion of presenting the flag, raised in one day for the equipment of the soldiers. The church itself was used for the sheltering and preparation of the clothing for the regiment by the women of the church, who worked under the direction of Mrs. Beecher. Tattered Flags Returned to Church.

The tattered flags which the regiment brpught back from the bloody battlefields of the sixties were returned to the church with Impressive exercises, in which Cap derwood Is by no means committed to Harmon, It Is pretty well known that so far he has seen no reason to change his opinions. He 1b anxious to see the party pursue a safe and careful course during the next year, for he believes that Is the way to win the presidency. The Champ Clark following is growing steadier. Clark's friends are sorry for him, but say that he himself is to blame. So long as he was willing to make a speech In the Democratic caucus, supporting the Underwood tariff bill, and thereby tacitly assisting the rebuke of Bryan, his friends declare that he should have borne the brunt of the fight and reaped the credit for himself.

Instead, Clark allowed Underwood to lead the fray and then assisted. Clark's strength has been in Bryan and this may lose the nomination for him. As Washington observers see It, the man for Bryan tc turn to is either Woodrow WllBon or himself. Wilson is believed to be more nearly In line with Bryan's desires than any other man In sight. He Is well fitted to lead the progressive wing In the next convention.

But there Is this possibility: If the Horse Democrats continue to emphasize their opposition to Bryan and their resentment at his attempts to Influence their actions, Bryan may take the bull by the horns and get Into the fight for himself, seeking to repulse the attack by a vindication of his policies. Meantime, the Harmon boom has taken new life and it Is likely to begin to grow again. "Harmon Is safe and sure" Is the way a lot of Democrats In Congress put It; whereas they still look upon Wilson as a more, or less doubtful quantity. KING TO VISIT U. S.
