This was the statement today at rostomce Inspector Doran in making public the details ot the arrest or seven men si of them present or past postoffice em ployee. He asserted their apture would clear up the' registered mail theft of July 1918. when $1,477, 000 Ini Liberty bonds for Wash ing were stolen from the mails; would aid In solving a heretofore undisclosed theft of J40.000 !n se curities and might go far toward olearing up the $2,000,000 .mail truck hold-up in Lower Broadway last October.

Ihspector Doran said, they had gone to: the sta tion several weeks ago,, ready to "pull" the' hold-up but had been deterred by the accidental presence of severaj Inspectors, which had lad them to fear their plot had been discovered. It was the Im minence of the new date set for the hold-up that sent police and postoffice inspectors -on a round up campaign last night. The name of the Inspector who uncovered the plot w-lth his bad man beard and hie plausible man ner, was withheld. He was one of the 18 inspec tors, it was said, who have been working their way for weeks Into confidence of the accused' men posing as a boastful fellow mall bandit. )' The bearded man. It was said, succeeded In getting himself "counted In" on the proposed city hall station hold-up and talked it over In detail with the others In his supposed "den" which he had wired with telephonic devices. The seven captives taken last night were confronted with trane scriptai of the telephonic record early todav in the preaence of the bearded Inspector, and sonie of them are alleged to have confess ed. .- ': '- - Much data on their earlier op erations already had been gather ed and recorded by the telepho ne device at boaarting tests set In motion bv the thrilling stories of mall banditry reeled off by the "bearded, gent' as his robber friends called him.

May 19. -The Jury trying the American cotton exchange on charges of bucketing orders was told by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Wintner at the start of the trial today that the exchange was composed chiefly of "several hundred credulous south erners living below the Mason and Dixon line." They paid from $200 to $300 each for membership.' he said, but the active operators were a coterie of 15 brokers, among them the half dosen indicted with their or ganization. These men Wintner called a bunch of bucaneers oper ating on the sea of commerce. He described the alleged method ot faking -sales and purchases on the floor, saying the brokers mere ly crossed their fingers to show others they were only pretending to be bidding or selling on orders. The more orders,- the more rev enue for the brokers, he said, so that they fooled the southern cus tomers to their own enrichment. When he had finished, the de fense moved for dismissal on the usual grounds, contending that the charges were vague and mean ingletT Justice Marcus excused, the Jury until Monday, and reserv ed decision on the motion.

News paper editorials attacking the ad ministration tariff bill caused an other flare-up today In the senate during the consideration of that measure. The editorials were read bv Senator! Simmons, of North Carolina, democratic mi nority leader. In the course of an address In whioh he attacked the bill generally and asserted there was a growing revolt against it over the country, even among re publican senators. In reply, Senator McCumber republican, North Dakota, In charge of the measure, renewed his charge that the newspapers at tacking the bill were influenced by advertisements of importers and asserted that reading of the editorials was for the purpose of delay. He was Joined In his at tack on the publications by Sena tor Gooding, of Idaho, chairman of the republican-agricultural -l. ir iff block, who said the New York dallies were not agoing to permit a tariff on farm products if they couia neip it. Senator Heflln, democrat, Ala bama, attacked the majority for approving what he termed high duties on paints, salt and other necessities of ..the . farming popu lation, He concluded with the declaration that the 'republicans proposed to put a tax "on every thing from the cradle tT the grave." - - ' In the course of his attack. Sen ator Simmons charged that the tariff bill was the product nf a "deal" among republican tic-nators which neither side to the trade is satisfied with. "Protection on agricultural pro ducts la obnoxious to the 'old guard'," he declared, "and duties on manufacturing products are equally as obnoxious to the agri cultural Interests. "The 'old guard' does not want to protect agricultural fcroducts. They never have done it but they would not have been able to pass a bill with these high rat's .n manufacturing unless the agricul tural element Was placated." Sena'or Simmons said th-j Mil had been "dictated by the .high 1 1 otectlonlst manufacturers of New England,'' and charged that all through the chemical schedule there was "the .trail of the man i facturers of explosives and dye stuffs." Asserting that he was from an agricultural state and did not want to see agriculture "slaugh tered" by a. tariff bill. Senator Simmons said he was hopeful that it publican senators from ths great farming states would come to see their error before It was too late.- The North Carolina senator told the - senate " that the editorials which he had read to the senate some time ago had had an "amaz ing'' effect. Those in charge of the bill had remained silent -up to that time, he. said, refusing to rffer any explanation , but now they not only explained the ralos, but they proposed the modifying of some of the "high rates" orig 'inslly proposed. . Replying, Senator McCumber said he did not wish to get Into any long discussion with the news papers, "who get their advertise menta'rom the Importers and are necessarily Influenced by their source of supply." Senator Mc Cumber said he would invlle them to produce proof that any :m in the hill was too high;, that any rate went beyond reasonable pro tectlpn.

I do not know what the effect of that memo randum waa in Russia: but I know the effect outside Russia was dis astrous. It produced reaction against the spirit of settlement and if It were the last word to be uttered by the Russian govern ment I should really despair of accomplishing much at The Hague. I am referring to the llth of May memorandum. 1 "Europe and the world need the produce which Russia can con tribute, and Rusala needs the ac cumulated wealth and skill which the world can place at Us com mand, Russia cannot recover for a generation without that help.

There Is real sympathy for their condi tion. "What are these prejudices? I will Just name one or two because they were all trampled upon in the memorandum of May 11. The first prejudice we have In western Europe Is that if you sell goods to a man you expect to get paid for them. The second Is this: If you lend money to a man and he promises to repav. you expect he will repay you. The third is this: If you go to a man who has al ready lent you money and ssv 'will you lend me more?' he will say to you 'do you propose to re pay me what I gave you?' and you sav 'no. It Is a matter ot nrln ple with me not to repay,' there is a most extraordinary prejulce In the Western mln against lend ing more money to that person. It Is not a matter of principle.
