Tariff Board First Aims At White House Talks
President Taft meets with leaders at the White House to push a permanent tariff commission and canal fortifications while signaling little hope for ship subsidy or broad conservation bills. The drive centers on mobilizing Republican support and retooling party machinery to present tariff reform as the party’s core issue in 1912. Progress on reapportionment and Canadian reciprocity plans loom as major agenda items with tight time to secure action.

Japan explains trials of Kotoku plot leaders
The Japanese government issued a long cablegram from Tokyo to its embassy here detailing the status of the trial of Denjiro Kotoku and six other Japanese accused in a plot to assassinate the emperor and ministers. The cable argues that public trials may be suspended only if the law or a court rule deems it necessary for peace or public morality. It notes that the Isthmus of Panama is a recent idea for special permission and mentions the canal commission. It says examinations will proceed under country law and that rail service changes may occur to accommodate spectators and officials, with a two hour faster voyage across the isthmus and a passenger train care service being fitted.

Careful of discarded arms threaten strike in Pennsylvania
Newspaper reports say angry iron workers in Pennsylvania are arming themselves with rifles on a large scale as a general strike looms. Military authorities note that the War Department has not sold such 'ag Jorgensen rifles to dealers for over a year, allowing them only to legitimate clubs and voluntary militias. Officials say the rifles likely came from European armies and are being imported in bulk into the United States and sold for $2 or $3 each. The national government currently lacks power to curb this trade, a matter some say merits state regulation.
