Representative Wingo of Arkansas predicted that the administration bill, without any important changes, would be reported this week from the com- mittee, and would be taken up next Monday by the caucus and adopted in much the same form. Senator Owen and Representative Glass, chairmen of the congressional committees on banking and currency, had short conferences with the presi- dent regarding the currency situation. Chairman Glass announced at the White House that the program in his committee would be to vote on the various amendments to the adminis- tration bill. of at least ten to four for the admin- istration measure.

FEAR MAY BRING DISASTER Michigan Solon Says Bill “Was Con- ceived in Hatred of Protection Policy and Brought Forth in the Darkness of the Caucus Chamber.” Washington, July 29.—Senator Town- send of Michigan, in a speech in the senate, characterized the Payne-Ald- rich tariff law as “the Gettyeburg where the factions of the Republican party were formed in battle array” that led to triumph of the Democratic party, giving it an opportunity to write the pending tariff bill, which he con- demned. “This bill,” Senator Townsend said, “was conceived in hatred of the Amer- ican policy of protection and brought forth in the darkness of the secret cau- cus chamber under the professional charge of one who has never had any experience in business obstretrics. Is it any wonder that the thing is mis- shaped and deformed?” Senator Townsend also criticised “executive interference” and caucus domination. Injecting comments on the lobby in- guiry in the senate and house Sen- ator Townsend said that criticism of improper action should be based upon unquestioned facts and not upop in- nuendo or falsehood, and continued: Sensational Is Featured. “Today as at all times in the past the sensational is too-prominently fea- tured and too little attention given to the truth. Indeed a saturnalia of abuse and misrepresentation seems to be reigning and in congress the two houses are struggling to get posses- sion of self-convicted scoundrels who have capitalized for financial gain the existing disposition to abuse the na- tional legislature.” Referring to the fears of business disaster the senator declared: “If business disaster prematurely comes its coming will be due more to the oft-expressed fears of this admin- istration than to any efforts by wicked business men, who as patriots are ex- pected to be happy the while their business is threatened with destruc- tion and themselves with prosecution. “There is one thing which stands out Clearly at this time and that is this: “The administration would be su- premely happy if it was well assured that the condition of the country woul be no worse than it is today. It has no real hope that things will be better; it justly fears they will be worse and it is looking every where for some scapegoat for its own handi- work.’ AFRICAN CHIEF AT HARVARD Will Devise Written Language and Translate Bible.

Dickerson, wife of the principal of Northfield seminary, and President Frank L. Dudley of the seminary he has begun the stupenduous task of re- ducing his language to-writing, mak- ing a grammar and translating the Bi- ble. | } DF Y GOODS CoO. PATERSON'S GREAT SILK STRIKE OVER Employes Said to Have Lost Five Millions in Wages, Paterson, N. J., July 29.—The big silk strike is over, but not all the employes who left the mills twenty- one weeks ago were able to find work. The manufacturers said they had all the hands they could use until they received orders withheld pending the settlement of the labor troubles. The central strike committee of the In- dustrial Workers of the World has been delegated to make official dec- laration of the end of the strike. It is estimated that the strike cost the employes $5,300,000 in lost wages. The manufacturers lost their spring and summer orders and twenty-one small plants went to the wall.
