The recreated commission would be composed of se members. instead of six, and the President would be unre- strained in his selections so far as polit- ical affiliations of his appointees were | concerned. Under existing law not, h three commssioners may be and their terms of office would be for 7 years instead of 12 as at present. The | Commission secretary would be paid at the rate of $7,500 annually. Powers of Investigating.

To speed up the work of the Commis- sion in determining justification for rate changes, the bill proposes that it , may adopt the American selling price of | comparable commodities as & basis. * rather than the differences in costs of production at home and abroad, which experience has demonstrated practically are unobtainable. ‘Moreover, the President would be au- thorized to investigate systems for val- uation in the United States on which 1o base duties on imports and to report to Congress thereon, with plans for their use, h the view to the adoption of such plan as may be best adapted to American needs.

AT DISTRICT JAIL: (Continued From First Page) Mr. Barnard had done so, after visit- ing the jail yesterday afternoon. “Mr. Wilson called me on the tele- | phone yesterday afternoon,” Maj. Peake | said, “and asked me if there were any newspaper men at the jail. T told him there were about 8 or 10 present, and he asked me then how long they had | been here. I told him most of the day. He said he thought there ought to be! a stop put to it, and later 1 was de- finjtely given instructions to exclude all newspaper men from the jail. That is all I know about it.” Summoned by Wilson. ‘Maj. Peake was summoned to Mr. ¢ wWilson's office at the District Build- ing at 11 o'clock. The conference was a brief one, but Maj. Peake and Mr. ‘Wilson said afterw: that they would confer again this afternoon. Mr. Wil- son previously had talked with Com- missioner Taliaferro about the matter. The Commissioner said later that the subject of the news order had come up only incidentally. The board of public welfare, he said, has full authority to act as it sees fit in matters pertaining to operation of the jail. He said he had full confidence in the board and its_director. Maj. Peake indicated his belief that ' the order might be “modified.” As now in operation the ban prevents reporters from getting news of any description out of the jail, whether the news con- cerns Mr. Sinclair or other prisoners. Special “exceptions” might be made to the rule in the cases of other prisoners, “providing circumstances warrant,” Mr. ‘Wilson declared. Mr. Wilson dictated’ the following statement: “There have been so many people coming into the District Jail during the last two days that it has seriously in- terfered with the carrying on of the af- fairs of the institution, and it was deem- ed wise for the time being to deny the place to all visitors, except such per- sons having official business to transact, such as attorneys, relatives and friends | of prisoners at regular visiting hours. Action Deemed Necessary. “I didn’'t see any reason why jail officials should show any more dis- crimination toward Sinclair than any other prisoner confined in the jail, but it seems that the condition which pre- vafled at the jail while newspapermen were awaiting the arrival of Sinclair demanded that something be done. “It is not my intention to make the newspaper boys angry, because they are our friends. In view of prevailing conditions it makes it necessary that such action be taken.” It is understood that Maj. Peake was taken to task for providing supper for the score of newspaper men who waited all Monday afternoon and evening for the arrival of the New York ofl execu- tive. The jail superintendent always has shown utmost courtesy to the press on all occasions. and he tock mercy on the hungry scribes when supper time rolled around Monday evening. Mr. Wilson said today he had no criticism of the conduct of the news- ‘paper men, but that their numbers had been so great that the orderly routine of the jall was being imoaired. “You've all written a whole lot about nar. Sinclgir.” the board director said, | “so there isn’t anything else in the way | of news to glve out. You can't exvect to give a day-by-day account of him during his three months in jail. He's in, and that was a story, and when he goes out that will be another story. In | the meantime we think Mr. Sinclair should be let alone. A prisoner should be isolated from the world when he | enters a jail and that is all we are try- ing to do in Mr. Sinclair's case.” First Situation of Kind. While conceding that this was the first order of its kind he had issued, Mr. wilson pointed out that “this is the first time such a situation has arisen in_all my 30 years of experience. Mr. Wilson contended that the ban | news was nothing “unusual” as a mattez of jail policy, and that re- porters never were permitted to talk with prisoners. When one reporter told | Mr. Wilson of several interviews he had had with inmates of the jail, the di- rector said that exceptions had been made in the case of prisoners awaiting execution. Favors U.

Because of the many technical changes made by the committee in the existing law, comparisons in this schedule are not feasible. One of the important changes made is that cotton cloth con- taining artificial silk shall be subject to an additional duty of 5 per cent, while cloth, in chief value of cotton, contain- :::lwml’ would be dutiable at 60 per “Hit-and-miss” rugs, chiefly of cotton, 55 per cent; chenille rugs, 45 per cent: all other fioor coverings of cotton, 35 per cent. ‘These rates are comparable to a flat 40 per cent in the present law and 30 per cent in the Un- derwood. e ‘The committee increased the duties on cotton yarns, cotton sewing thread free | free | and handwork cottons; cloth, containing silk; cloth, containing wool; tapestries and other jacquard-figured upholstery cloths; _velveteens; jacquard-figured quilts’and bedspredds made of single abrics, and chenille rugs.

The speakers expressed the belief the assault on the premier was the work of followers of Col. Pletskaitis, a Lith- uanian opposition leader, who has been accused of seeking Polish support. A boycott on the Social Democratic party, which it was charged, was in collusion with Pletskaitls, was urged. The government newspapers mani- fested indignation. The opposition press confined itself to a bare statement of the facts of the assault.

The District attorney outlined his at- titude at two meetings, one attended by officials of country and golf clubs, the other for city clubs. He said he would act under the de- cision of the Federal Court in the pad- locking of the Chez Plerre, a_Chicago night club, in which case the court held that evidence of drinking is_sufficient to convict, even though it be shown that the club itself did not sell liquor.

CHICAGO, May 8.—Another flight to Sweden from the Middle West is being planned by Bert Hassell, Rock- ford, 11l aviator, he announced today. Hassell, who 'piloted the Greater Rockford on its projected Rockford- to-Sweden flight last Summer and was forced down in the snow fields of Greenland, declared his next fiight would be over a route with mine re- fueling points. Paying freight or ex- press will replace oversize gasoline tanks which would be required on a non-stop flight, he said. Hassell predicted that within five | years airplanes with “pay loads™ will fly regularly between Copenhagen and Chicago. The route from the Middle West northeastward through Canada to Greenland and Iceland, thence to the European mainland, is the safest pos- sible to Europe, he said, with its long- tretch over water being only 600 SENTENCED TO CHAIR.
