In the thick of a fog off Sandy Hook today the teel freighter Georffic of the White Star line rammed and sank the ligrhtly-laden Panama line steamer Finance, outward hound, with So pajwenpers. The Finance went down within 10 minutes, carrying to their death three of the passengers and ne of the crew.

Of the pawners lost, one was a wo man. MIps Irene Campbell, of Panama, who clung frantically to the rail of the sinking vil and could not be persuaded to release her hold, nor were the men who manned the small boat able forcibly to remove her. She was seen clinging de terminedly as the vessel was engulfed. William H. Todd, third assistant engi neer. Jumped overboard and was lost. When a roll of the passengers of the Finance was called it mas found that C II. Schweinler. a policeman, of Panama, and Henry Miller, a railroad conductor, of Panama, had disappeared and there was little doubt that they were drowned. The disaster occurred In the main ship channel off Sandy Hook at 8 o'clock this morning, while both vessel were groping their way through a fog that has held up maritime commerce in local waters for the last three days. The Finance had weighed anchor and was going down the Swaah channel when Captain Mowdray. who waa on the bridge, heard the whistle of an approacniug liner. The Finance wa Immediately or dered astern and was slowly backing whn the Georgk. hi bound from Uvor ponl. loomed out of the fog and a mo ment later crashed Into the port side and just abaft the beam of the Finance. Prompt Work Saves Uvea. The prow of the freighter penetrated the side of the Finance nearly lo feet. Many passengers were thrown from tlieir berths. Hastily covering themselves with bedclothing. they rushed In a panic to the main deck, which was fust sinking to the surface of the water. Many of the passengers Jumped overboard before they could be restrained by the crew of the damaged steamer, some not stopping even to provide themselves with life-preservers. That more were not lost was due to tlie discipline of the crew of the Finance and the prompt and Intelligent work of th sailors from the Georgic. Immediately after ttoe accident the freighter backed off and anchored, her commander. Captain Clark, in the mean time having ordered the lifeboats lo cred. Tive boats of the Finanre also were cut away as quickly as possible. Atten ttou nas llrst given lo those who had juiupod overboard, and a score or more wen picked up by the small boats. To add to the confusion a moment after the Impact there was an explosion of an ammonia tank In tlie forward hold of the Finance and the fumes drove the engineers and firemen to the decks. Will iain Todd, the third assistant engineer. was partly overcome, and. staggering to t i te ra 11. t h re w himself o vc rboa rd. He was not seen again. The Finance had over TW hags of mail aboard.

The cheers suddenly changed to an oppressive hush as the narrow ness of tha time margin was realized, and It was not until the Judges sig naled to the anxious little gang of Italian workmen In the supply pits that It waa definitely known who had won. Working Against Time. Wagner drove a remarkably steady race. He stopped several times for supplies and once seemed to be in se rious trouble right in front of the grandstand- Something was wrong beneath the car and down under the max of cranks and wheels the mechanician plunged. In a Jiffy he was through. Wagner In the mean time had been pouring gasoline Into one tank with his right hand and lu bricating oil Into another with his left It was this delay that took Wagner out of the lead In 11 of tba It laps of side.

Sev eral of them came to the I nited States. Moreover, our tariff covers far more items than Germany's. Our Industries are three times as great in volume. In get ting its tariff investigation made by board of experts Germany was applying business principles to what is pre-eminently a business subject. Railroads, great industrial and commercial houses and all toe other larger enterprises in the United States employ experts to In quire into business conditions and make reports on which plans lor tuturo activ ity can be based.

CVT IX METAIi SCHEDULES Reduction 10 to 20 Per Cent Mure Articles Classified. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2& From the tes timony offered before the Ways and Means Committee at the tariff hearing yesterday. It Js evident that fiome reduc tion, possibly 10 to 20 per cent, will be made In the duties on Iron, steel and metal product when the new tariff bill Is framed. Numerous recommendations have been made to the committee for changing the wording, making new classifications and providing new paragraphs for the metal schedule. Among the articles for which It Is proposed to make specific provision are steel wool or shavings, diamond steel, steel rrlt. Iron, sand and similar articles; steel saw plates, crucible plate steel, steel circular saw plates, steel strips, knives, chrome metal, ferromanganese. manganese metal, tunusten and similar metals, manufactures of mica and alloys, and other mixed metals not specifically provided for. Bells, buckles, chatelaines, clasps, gir dles and other similar articles which have not been (.-peciflcaily mentioned hereto fore, caused endless trouble in classifi cation for duty. LMsputes between the Government officers and the importers constantly arising. It is purposed to make the law explicit by providing for these articles the same duty Imposed on pins not commonly known as Jewelry. It is also purposed to restrict the terms. "Iron plates, steel plates, plate Iron and plate steel." as used In the tariff, "to such articles having plain surfaces which may. however, be checkered, corrugated or ribbed, for use as parts of construc tions, but not as tools or implements In manufacturing." A duty will be imposed on all castings of Iron or cast-iron plates which have been chiseled, drilled, machined or other wise advanced in condition by process or operations subsequent to the casting pro cess, but not made tip inro articles. This will be done In order to frustrate the nu merous attempts of Indefatigable customs attorneys to secure tho entry of manufac tured articles of iron at the comparatively low rates of duty prescribed for cast iron plates and castings. The hearimts on the metal schedule will be continued tomorrow. H. E. Miles, chairman of the Tariff Committee of the National Association of Manufacturers. Is expected to address the committee In tavor of tariff revision downward. To gether with President Van Cleave, of the association. Mr. Miles was invited to the I hearing by Chairman Payne. BLUFF. IS CALLE'Dl! E 5 Carnegie Exposes Enormous Profits Made Under Tariff. WAS FORCED TO JOIN TRUST Said He Could Make Money at $14.50 When Pool Sold at $!(. Pittsburg's Tariff-Fed Mil lionaires Indorse King. PITTSBURG, Pa.. Nov. . (Special.) The statement made by Willis L. King, head of the Jones & Laughlin Company, yesterday before the ways and means committee at Washington, that Andrew Carnegie "don't understand steel con ditions" and that "he has no interest in steel business except for tlie money he draws from bonds" has set Pittsburg by the ears. The xving testimony and Mr. Carnegie's tariff argument were discussed over Thanksgiving turkey today with more or less bitterness. Steel men are unanimously with Mr. King that Mr. Carnegie's "latest break" was a bad one. but along other lines of business there is a different feeling. Incidentally today it came out through a similar "break years ago by -Mr.. Car negie he was compelled finally to sell out nil his holdings and permit the formation of the United States Steel Corporation. It was not until today that it finally leaked out that all other steel interests of the entire United States massed on Mr. Carnegie three years before they reallv succeeded in ousting him and in forming the steel corporation. Carnegie Cut Rail Prices. It was in 1W6 that Mr. Carnegie get ideas of his own on steel rails and pro dded to kick over the traces from the steel rail pool which was then in exist ance. The resur was the breaking up ot the pool, which had been selling rails at tM per ton. 3ir. Carnegie had been one of the biggest rail men In the pool, but he had wanted to shade prices a little hence the row. John W. Gates, of the Illinois Steel Company, became busy and advertised rails at $17, laid down in Cbi cago. This was a cut of $7 per ton from the former pool price and was intended to worry Mr. Carnegie, who was the big gest maker of steel rails in the world. It didn't worry Mr. Carnegie a bit, but it made him mad, and Inside of 48 hours lie had every other railmaker In the United States worried. He offered to lay down rail for rail witli Mr. Gates at Chi cago ffr J15.0O: another cut of $1.50 per ton, or, what was still worse, hurled this bomb through the public preiis: Exposes Exorbitant Profits. And if this price Isn't low enough, I will cut another dollar and will still make money on steel rails." This was a blow that hurt. Mr. Carne gie had uncovered tlie former workings of tlie rail pool by showing that rails that had been sold at $-4 per ton could be sold at a profit when only $14.30 was obtained. Since then they have been trying to keep Mr. Carnegie quiet and they suc ceeded for eight long years. He has now broken loos-?, however, .with some thing worse than "the gang" ever an ticipated and gTeat is the worry among steel men. WANT NEW PLANS MADE Kust Side Push Clubs on Record ! Against Albtna High School. Expressions from push clubs concern ing1 the Alblna high-school building1 are unanimous they all demand that the new plans be prepared and modeled after the East Side High School, with whatever improvements experience may suggest, cost not to exceed $300,O0J and the bond issue not to go above the : $2."i0,000 provided for. The North East Side Improvement Association, the North Alblna Improvement Club and the Multnomah and Piedmont Push clubs have passed resolutions objecting to the erection of the building by cut ting out portions in the design the auditorium or gymnasium, or leav ing any portion unfinished, as has been suggested. They are asking that plans be drawn up for a smaller building than contemplated, including an auditorium, and then completed throughout. The plan to cut out the auditorium. gymnasium, and complete the rooms of only one floor the first year and then to complete the remainder at a later date meets with unqualified disapprov al from all these organizations. They feel that if part of the building is put up it will remain in chat unfinished condition for many years, owing to the demand for school facilities In other portions of the district. The organizations are unanimous In the opinion that a duplication of the Ease Side High Rchoolhouse, which cost $205,000, with the improvements, can be erected In Aibina for ?2dO,000 or $300,000 at the farthest.
