'a Office. They Have Suspended. The offices of J. H. Mansfield on the third floor of 44 Broadway, Manhattan, were still locked to-day, following the announced suspension of yesterday.

The sign, announcing the suspension was still on tho door, with a few added words, evidently by angry customers, of "Fakir, and such. Several women, probably customers, were seen to go up in the elevator, look sadly the locked doors, and then return to the street. Reno R. BUlington, a lawyer with offices on the fourth floor of the same building, has as clients a number of the customers of the suspended firm. He said that he had heard nothing from Mansfield, but doubted if he had gone to Europe and thought he will be located In a short time.

He sulci he thought the liabilities win ne about I13U.OO0. and a far as he could see there would be hardly any assets. Mr. BUlington said, in speaking ot the firm's actions: "I am Informed that they had a switchboard, and when a customer went In to place an order some one would go to the switchboard and supposedly give an order over the 'phone. MoBt of the wires, however, I am informed, only reached as faf as the carpet.

"The firm came here from New England, where they had done considerable business. Mansfield, I am informed, was recently married to a Massachusetts woman." CRUSHED TO DEATH IN SUBWAY.

When a local train came along Relchert ran along beside the door of a car without waiting for the train to stop, though not more than a dozen passengers were waiting to board it. His foot slipped and his right leg went down between the car and the edge of the platform. A shout ot horror went up from the passengers and the motorman, Harold Evans, clapped on the emergency brake, which stopped the train In half a car length; but Relchert was rolled and crushed between the car and the steel edge of the platform. He was so caught that the car had to be raised with Jacks before he could be extricated. Then it was found that the thigh and pelvic bones on the right side had been broken.

He was taken to the Hudson Street Hospiatl. Reichert's injuries proved fatal, owing to internal injuries, and he died this forenoon. TO LAY A CORNERSTONE.

BREAIDI FELL INTO TRAP. Assistant Was Hoodwinked by "Buy er's" Companion Latter Not Yet Under Arrest. Carlton', double was In the Adams street court this morning but he had no connection with the Carlton case in the most remote way and It was as plain as day that he was not Carlton's little black man.

The frlsoner, who Interested the audience aa soon as was caught sight of because of his amazing resemblance to the other prisoner, was Fran cisco Detana, aged about 40 years, who was accused by Detectives Ward and Cox of the Fulton street station of vagrancy. Detana said that his home Is at 14 Stanton street. Manhattan, and Detective 8ergeant Vacbrls, the expert In Italian confidence games and confidence men asserted that bis picture was In the rogues' gallery. Detana is said to have Indulged himself yesterday In a confidence game that Is pretty nearly as old as the everlasting hills, but which still works among his countrymen who are in a small way of business. The man.

with another who has not been arrested but for whom the police are looking went to Oiacomo Breaidi's barber shop, at 3 Fulton street, yesterday afternoon and Detana said lie was willing to buy the place. Brealdl had been thinking of selling and had men tioned the fact to a friend. He thought, of course, mat me tricna nad sent the two strangers to his place and he at once began to dicker with Detana. There was a prolonged period of bargaining and Detana said he was willing to pay $200, spot cash, for the place. He invited the boss barber and the other man to go out and find a notary, so that the contract of purchase should be made out according to Hoyle.

The party went out at once and walked up Fulton street. Breaidi's assistant remained In the shop to look out for his employer's razorB, clippers and money. Pretty soon the straneer who hart vinitori the store with Detana came back in a hurry. "The boss wants you as witness," he said to the barber's assistant. "Hurry up.

You'll catch him before he gets to the notary's office." "Who will look out for the store In the meanwhile asked the assistant, and the stranger readily said that he would. So assistant put on his hat and coat and started eff, leaving the man in charge. Like the wile of the late Mr. Lot. he lnnlrnri hack Just once, and that very minute saw the ounugtr leaving uy tne front door.

Realizing that something was wrons and deter mined to look out tor the store at all hazards the assistant ran back. He found the store practically upside down. The stranger in leaving had skinned out everything that ho could lift. He had all of the barber's razors, the hair scissors, the eitrmino ma chines, some very fine camels hair brushes and ail the money in the drawer, something ilia barber ran after the ntrinr id. uu uisappeareo.

men he went to the muun nireet ponce station to tell the detectives and Ward and Cox were Rent nnf to catch somebody. Thev followed tho nn and Dotana and caught up with them lust as Detana was getting rid of the barber by a ruse. Detana was arrested and ho vrv angry at the idea that he should be suspected of association with a vulgar thief. But he protested that he would not pay ,200 for the business if all the razors and things were gone. The man who had, stolen the goods could never have been his clared.

For all that the police detained tho man and when they searched him at the station they could not find anything like the ,200 that he claimed he had in his noeknta never intended to buy the place, the police claim, and simply went there for the purpose of putting up the Job to get all of the barber's people out of the way, in order that me coast cou be clear fnr tho inntin. a.

United States the Principal Outlet for Cuban Staples Island a Good Market for Many Lines. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington. August 3 From a statement that has been prepared In the Department of Commerce, It appears that Cuba has benefited more than the I'nited States from the reciprocity treaty between tho two countries which went Into effect in De ceinDer, 1'j(j3. As a result of that agree ment tho Cubans last year made a great gain in the total value of their annual sales to tne Inlted States, considerably greater.

In font .1 mC Bum value of Amer ican products shipped into the Island A comparison ot the figures of imports iuio una by countries for the past two years snows that while the total imports Increased from In to S77 nac inr. in i04, or 2l.o per the share ot tne Lnited States in theso imports Increased from $23,703,100 to 132,742,000 or 27 4 per cent. While the imports from other nations show uniform increases, their relative shares in supplying the Cuban markets are, in most cases, less for the year 1904 than for the preceding year, owing to the substantial gain made by the United States Imports during the period in question The United States furnished 42.5 per cent of the total merchandise Imports during the calendar year 1904, as against 40.5 per cent, during the previous year. The United Kingdom, our most serious competitor, furnished 10.4 per ds strains 17 1903. cont, fcpalns share has fallen from 14 3 per to 12.6 ner France relative shares have risen Inconsiderably, though the absolute figures of imports from all these countries show substantial gains during the most recent calendar year.

The importance of the United States as the principal outlet for CuSan staples is even more pronounced than its leading position the Cuban import market. Moreover, tho large gains, both relative and absolute, made by Cuban exporto to the United States dur- ng the last year, have reduced the shares hj the export trade taken by the leading European countries. Thus whli ports to the United States 'grew from 150-100 000 in 1903 to $74,500,000 1, 1S04 or from 77.7 per cent, to S3.7 per cent, of the total Cuban exports, the share of exports destined to the United Kingdom ho a iu- 0nk Cent of the tota eP't's total exports in lftiM that Germany has fallen from Su.40Q.0a tn sinnnnon 6.9 per cent, to 4.5 per of'the total exports; that of SDain from S1 annnnn -i 1,7 per ccM to -8 Per cent- n'd ul 1 am irom i.i per cent, to 1.1 per in. If the growth of fmnnrfaa ima the United States durlne the lt compared with the growth of Cuban exports to he Lnited States during theeame period, It is seen that the imports Increased over 27 per while the exports increased about 15 per cent. An analysis of the Cuban Import figures bv articles discloses the fact that the gain In Cuban Imports from this country has been distributed In a fatrly equable manner, benefiting thus a large number of American ex-Prt interests represented in the Cuban market.

Thus, the imports of cotton goods show anJaln 87 "er cent. from $4 53,100 in 1903 to $8 4 8,500 in 1904-although It should be sa that even after such an increase the relative share of the United States In the total foreign supply of cottons does not exceed 10.4 per as against 54 per cent supplied by the United Kingdom, and 18 7 per cent, by Spain. Almost one-half of the manufactures of Iron and steel (4S.1 per cent in 1904, as against 43.3 per cent, in 1903) is now being furnished by the United States, the gam in 1904 of about half a million dollars being far In excess of gains made by other countries during the same period of time. In boots and shoes the share of the United States In the total imports has risen from 37 per cent. In 190.1 tn 40 3 nor cent in 10m the value of American shoes imported in 1904 being $1,202,200, as against in 1903.

Spanish boots and shoes, which a3 late as 1900 supplied almost 80 per cent, of the total demand for the foreign article constituted 61.3 per cent, of the total shoe imports in 1903 and 58.6 per cent, in 1904. The ciiange 01 tastes and habits illustrated by these figures is after all the product of slow growth and no sudden changes In the Import figures could be expected. The total Import figures of machinery, exclusive of machinery for sugar mills and distilleries, show a larger relative growth than those credited to the United States notwithstanding the 20 per cent, differential In favor of the American article. The progress made by American machinery for use in sugar mills and distilleries Is more satisfactory, the Import figures for the year 1904 nhowlng substantial gains over those for 1903 and the relative share in the total imports for the year 1904 being 73.2 per as against 66.7 per cent, during the preceding yenr. Considerable gains are shown In the Imports of paper and paper manufactures.

Out of $1,304,200 worth of these articles Imported In 1903, the share supplied bv the United States was $319,800. while in 1904 the Imports from all countries amounted to $1,367,000 of which the United States supplied SI2S.200, or 31.3 per cent. The imports of manufactures of wool and textile fibers from this country are still inconsiderable. Cuba drawing upon Europe for these articles. The Imports of manufactured linen, Jute and other fibers have fallen off considerably during the last year, while the Imports of wool manufactures show a slight increase.

The Improvement in the economic conditions of Cuba is attested by the growth of Imports of food stuffs from $21,400 0 00 in 1903 to about $25,000,000 In 1904. Practically all the (lour, corn and lard had been coming from the I'nited States even prior to reciprocity and naturally continues to do so now under reciprocity. Of these articles of popular diet the imports of flour have increased about, 42 per from $2,085,000 to while those of lard have decreased from S2.S85.000 in 1903 to $2,617,800 in 1904. It is but proper to add that the Cuban duty on American flour, from $1 per 220 pounds before reciprocity, was reduced to 70 cents by the reciprocity ngreement, and then increased to 91 cents by act of the Cuban Congress of February 0, 1904. raising the general rate on the article.

The rate on American corn was likewise reriWd tmm 30 cents per 220 pounds to 21 cents, and then Increased to 27.3 cents, while the rnte on American lard was lowered at first from SO per 100 kilos to $2.24 by a 20 per cent, reduction according to the reciprocity agreement, and then raised to $2.91 through an Increase of the general rate by 30 per cent, by act of Cuban Congress under the date of February 9, 1904.

FINE ARTS. An Etched Portrait cf Paul Jones. Jacques Reich, nho is engaged on a series of etched portraits of famous Americans that is of marked artistic value and will be of much historic interest when complete, has added another to the list, and it Is timely. It is the portrait of the famous, the dashing naval officer, whoso body has just been returned to the country of his choice, John Paul Jones. C.

W. Piale's portrait, in Independence Hall. Philadelphia, is that from w'jlch Mr. Reich has worked, and lie has etched it on a plate of the same size as those chosen tor the Lincoln and Webster icmes panning nas Deeu represented In black and white before, but as an illustration. The new print gives size and dignity to his performance, and It attains to that on its own account.

It shows the sailor in naval uu the coat buttoned back so as to s'uow the facings, the shoulders decorated with small epaulettes, a stock and frill emerging through the coller and vest medal suspended from one ot the huttonn three-cornered hat. fringed and cockaded, surmounting the head and worn with the suspicion of a rakish slunt, while there is a glimpse of t'je ribbon that gathers the admiral's hair Into a knot behind. The subject Is shown In almost full face, with the eyes turned slightly to the right and upward. The expression is that of a man at rest yet alert and ready in emergency. Tho uuia naraiy De called strong, fje mouth has pliancy, and the head has not the width of a typical fighter's, but the nose iurge ana tne whole bearing resolute and full of nervous energy.

It may bo that Peale softened some possible asperities of his sister's countenance, but he Indicated his character, none tho less. Mr. Reich's part In the portraiture Is marked by the same care and sympathy that are Indicated in the preceding pictures of tho series. The work of the needle and acid are both delicate and strong. Freedom of t'je etched line Is hardly possible in a reproductive work, but tho plate does not lack spirit for all that Textures are properly Indicated, the lights are placed with proper emphasis, the face ia clearly modeled and background Is toned so as to throw the figure Into relief CAR UPSET WAGON.

Driver May Die Several Passengers on the Car Severely Injured. In a collision yesterday afternoon on Eighty-sixth street, near Twenty-first avenue, Bensonhurst. In which a wagon was run down by a trolley car, one man was perhaps fatally injured and several passengers on the car were more or less painfully hurt. The man who is now in the Norwegian Hospital is Asher Dann, owner and driver of the wagon. He is 41 years old and resides at 5312 Fifth avenue.

The wagon was loaded with mineral water bottles and was being driven by Dann through Twenty-first ave nue, toward tighty-slxth street. At the corner he turned south into Eighty-sixth street and directly in front of trolley car No. 241S. Joha Jones, of 319 Furman street, was the motorman of the car.

IES Corporations of the Bell System Taxed on Lower Valuations Than Rivals DOING SMALLER BUSINESS Stearns Was Formerly Counsel for Bell Interests Bell Company Rented His Dunkirk Building'. Albany, August 8 Friends of Stato Tax Commissioner Lester F. Stearns declare that he should not be attacked and that he can not ne removed tor acts committed outside of his official duties and that the charges of perjury and collusion with Warren B. Hooker In procuring the Wirtner Judgment have nothing to do with the making of assess' ments on real estate or for franchises held by corporations. It is a fact, however, tha there has been serious complaint of the Just ness of certain assessments in Stearns' home territory, and for which he is regarded a peculiarly responsible.

In this state, as in many others, there are two telephone systems or Interests. One the Bell, which controls all the lone dlstanc lines and has separate exchanges In almoB every city and village of the state, and the independent companies, which have lines most of tho smaller cities and some of the villages outside of Greater New York. Th independent companies have never gained much of a foothold in the metropolis. They are second In almost every case in number ot phones used; but, by reason of a chcape local service, have been able to get a large ana Increasing business. inese local companies have complained loudly of discrimination against them in the matter of assessments and taxes laid by the board of which Stearns is a member.

Tha tax commissioner Is regarded as something an expert on the value of telephone fran cnises in fact, he had a long connection witu the Bell interests as counsel before his appointment, and some are uncertain Just wnen mat connection ceased. Independent Companies Felt the Burden Tha figures on which complaint was made against the tax commissioner, two years ago, show the comparative valuation In widely ocaiierea cities throughout the state follows: as Valuation on Bell Location. companies. Coblesklll ,500 Johnstown 6,000 Gloversvllle j'soo Auburn ouo Watertown 8, BOO Cortland 4,170 Elmlra ulm Dunkirk Mayvllle 2,000 Lockport Niagara Kails 36,000 North Tonawanda lolooo Valuation on Independents. 7,600 18.500 16,100 15,000 20, 000 8,000 2,:00 12.0UO 45,000 11,000 The discrepancy Is especially noticeable in Dunkirk, where Stearns resides, and in western New York generally.

It is argued that the value of the Bell comnanies fran chises are much more valuable aside from the number of 'phono In use because of tha long distance connection. Ability to use government agencies to tax a rival is a very powerful Instrument in competition. It amounts practically to the same advantage as the giving of rebates to snippers by railroads in other lines of ness. rne Standard Oil Company and the Beet Trust are alleged to have been built up unaer just such conditions, only there is no official relation in the granting ot rebates and there is when one person or cor poration Is discriminated against state By the assessment on the franchise the value of other real estate Is not involved. Tho franchise value means the intangible value In the right given to do business in a certain county or city.

Two companies having equal advantages and having the same number of 'phones would naturally be assessed the some amount. The long distance connection naturally makes the Bell franchises in each case more valuable. But the tax commissioners seemed not to have taken this view of the case, but the contrary one. Beginning of Competition In Telephone Business. The Independent telephone movement In this state began about six years ago.

Betore that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company held a monopoly of tho telephone business in the country by reason of the control of the Bell patents, particularly 011 the transmitter and receiver. The American Telegraph and Telephone Company is the parent corporation, and has its headquarters in Boston. It owns most of the long distance trunk wires, but rarely enters a local field under Its own name. The practice has been to farm out local territory under royalty, One of the conditions under which the American Company granted local rights was the purchase of supplies from the American, but In return the advantage of long distance connection was held out. About six years ago many of the most Important Bell patents expired, and the mo-nopoly wns In part lost.

The Independent companies entered the Held in various parts of this and other states. Other makers be. Ban the manufacture of equipment. The struggle has been going on apnee. Smaller Number of 'Phones, Higher Assessments.

Some further details of the comparative valuation plnced on the Bell and independent companies in various towns will be interesting. At Elmira the Bell company had by the end of 1902 as many as 1,200 'phones In use, while the Independent company had 1,000, Tho assossment placed on the Bell company for that year was $14,000 and on the indepen-dent company 115,000. If the assessments were to be made on the number ot 'phones In use the Boll company's assessments should have been at lpast $18,000 instead of $14,000, If the valuation placed on the Independent company's franchise were correct. And that not taking Into consideration the Im-PfLri' of Ion distance connection, which Is an element entering Into consideration In every other sort of a franchise and particularly electric railroads. Again at Rochester, where the Bell Company had In 1003 6 000 'phones in use, Its assessment was the Independent company, which had 5.000 'phones, was assessed at $210,000.

If the latter assessment was correct the Bell Company should have pnld on $252,000, instead of on $221,000, with trie essential feature of long distance cop. nectlon loft out of consideration. Hard on Dunkirk Independent Company At the same time In the City of Dunkirk, where Mr. Stearns resides, the valuation placed on tho Bell was and on tho independent was $8,000. while the number of Bell phones in use was 430 and the number of Independent 'phonos, 330.

Comparatively, the Independent company should apparently have been plnecd at $2,600, Instead of $8 000 or else. If the valuation placed on tho Independent company Is juet. Urn Bell Company Ton ThV ifl'V'" "MH0' $3,400. The Bell Company seems to have ound it convenient to locale its exchange in he earns-IIooker building. 0xnA floor of which was leased to the government for a post nflico at a rental of $2,000 a year because of the Inlluence Hooker and Steams' had with Beaver.

Watertown presented an even moro startling conditions of things. The Independent company there Is known iw the Clihens It had at Iho close of 1002 ahntit half as niany phones as the Bell Company and practically no outside communication. Yet the Hell Company Wns nescsned at $9,000 and the Independent at Competition Gets Cold Shoulder From Stearns, These Instances of apparent favor for the nell Interests or punishment for the locale was found to run throughout the state and seemed to show that the tax comiuliisloners, instead of lu any way favoring competition, -ACCUSED FiS BURGUR.

Wideawake Man Saw Him Leaving Neighbor's House and Telephoned the Police.

Flnley, a laoo rranufacturer, doing business In Manhattan, his daughter, Ella, and his son, Walter, were sitting on the Btoop of their house, 48 Fourth street, next door, when the girl exclaimed to her father: "Oh, Papa!

Flnley, much excited, jumped up and running Into the house called up police headquarters, saying that burglars were operating In his neighbor's house. In a few minutes, acting Captain Carson, Detective Dally and the reserves from tUe Fifth avenue police station were on the scene.

Flnley trembling with anxiety, blurted out the account of the man taking the bags away, and, pointing down the street, Indicated that he hail gone in that direction. Captain Carson left two officers at tha Bade home and. with the patrol wagon, hurried down toward Seventh avenue, followed closely by Flnley. When the officers reached Seventh avenue the lace manufacturer pointed to a doorway and exclaimed; "Ah, Captain! There he is." Sure enough, there stood the Bame man who had lumbered down the brown-stona stepB of the Bado mansion, burdened with, two bags of the telescope variety. He stood between the bags, the perspiration streaming down his face from the exertion entailed by a giant load of silverware, clocks and other household effects, which nt tho house required four feet of legal cap to enumerate.
