BOSTON, Dec. 8. That the rrpu'i
llcan party haa changed ;'ront and is
now marching toward lonv tariffs.
In which movement the Vayne tariff

esting statement mad by Secretary of
the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh j i r
the Annual banquet of the Miis:h lui
setta Bankers' association tonight.
Three hundred persons attended
the banquet. Among the. other spi-ak-ers
were George E. Roberts, president
of the Commercial National ban!-.
Chicago, and Governor Kben S
Draper.
He said, in part:
"In considering the results of tin
recent tariff legislation It is indispens
able in my Judgment, to keep two im
portant factors in mind, '' lie first is
that the Payne law is but an Incidcjit
In a tariff revision movement by and
within the Republican party, sanc
tioned and undertaken by the party
Itself and advocated 'by Prcslucn' Taft
in office an 1 out of oi!ie , and iy
President McKinley with almost his
last words. The second is that It i?
the resultant effect on the movement
which it is important to take into ac
count and estimate, and not, essen
tially, anything else. No one cxpei t
ed this great movement to complete
Itself In a single act of legislation,
and it was expected to be i ' t ele.it
that the legislation, enacted last Au
gust did not end the movement for
tariff revision.
"An excellent reason" for a reason
able postponement of attempts at fur
ther legislation Is that it Is unlvcr
.fajly believed that we ought to do no
more legislation on the tr.rlff, until
we know better how to le slate on tt.
The opinion la practically universal
that we have seen the last of the" lot

Sheldon, recently -.deposed as presi
dent "f the Phenix Insurance ciini
p.ni.v. "f Brooklyn, lying d atb's

was indicted by the grand .iorv today
for grand larceny in e.uiniVtien wilh
the alleged looting of the If insur
ance company's treasury to ;he ivt. nt
of $1,000,000 or more.
As Sheldon was not arrested and
probably will not be unless his h allh
improves radically, the text of the in
dietment was not ma!e public, but
an official of the district attorney's
office is authority for the statement
that the amount w hich Sin li:on is ic
cused of stealing is $45,000.
According to this official. Ph. 'don.
It was testified before the gran I jury
used the funds or credit of the insur
ance company, in stork mar'"-: trans
actions through a New Yoi k broker-
age firm and pocketed the profits
The grand Jury will now investigate
the connection of others with alleged
speculations wun me lunos "1 me
company, only charges against Shel
don have been examined as yet, al
though the report of the insurance
department implicated others.
in the meantime detectives will be
sent to Greenwich to inquire into Hi"
condition of the accused man's health.
If they are satisfied that h is too ill
for trial, no attempt at extradition
will be made, but he w ill be Uept un
der close surveillance. His condition
tonight, as reported from lireenuk-h
was critical.
Four exhibits of Interest which
have figured in the grand .'ury inves
tigation so far are three ('rafts To;
$10,000 each and one of $15,(1)0 al
leged profits of speculation which
Sheldon is accused of having carried
on. Each of theae drafts is made the
aubject of a count in the Indictment
Sheldon is sixty-four years ld and
Widely known in insurance circles. He
was taken fit with ptomaine p.. is mini;
six week ago before he was deposed

part:
"The long line of officials and
bnsws who made themselves million
aires out of the government of this
city, some of whom live abroad and
Impudently visit us occasionally now
that the statute nf limitations has
outlawed their villainies, is standing
disgrace to the moral tone of the
community."
Hastening to the defense of the
clly's name Judge (laynor continued:
"This city haw been most grossly
slandered for several years In respect
of its morality, financial credit or
otherwise. Let lis put a stop to that.
Mere scolds and sensationalists are
not to be suffered to give this city
a bad or even vile name throughout
the world. 1 am prepared to say from

that New York is the most orderly,
decent and moral large city in (be
