He Tells Friends Many People LS Believe ‘He Has Power to . Restore Their Profits. RECOVERY ORDERLY. Big Industries All Right, but the Agricultural Situation Causes Concern. By David Lawrence.

It is the agricultural situation, however, which causes concern, for while the big indystries can in a sense help themselves, the farmer needs to be ‘fimanced and needs to have an export trade and at the same time must be Protected in his home market, All these different desires are the basis for the so-called agricultural block _ dn Congress, composed of members of both parties, mostly from the West nd South, who are able to put through Congress practically any Measure of relief that the farmers may want. And President Harding is unquestionably sympathetic with the agricultural group. ‘Tt is a fact that the Harding Ad- Ministration has given more time and thought to domestic problems, and Particularly business readjustment, ‘than anything else, but even the folks the administration admit that the of circumstances over which no one in the Government had contro! ds almost irresistible.

DELAY BILL’S PASSAGE. Conditions Resemble Those of Payne-Aldrich Days That Presaged G. O, P. Upset. (Special to The Erening Word.) WASHINGTON, June 4.—Republi- can plang for enacting a permanent tariff bill are going awry. The devel- opments of the past few days show that there is more dissension over the tariff than at any time, and unless some Way is found to compose differ- ences, the law which is to supersede the “emergency” tariff measure, re- ently enacted, will be delayed possibly for severaj months, Owing to the apparently inevitable delay, Representative “Nick” Long- worth brought forth a proposal to expedite the application of the law which was “something. new under the sun” in legislation, Longworth's pro- Posal was to pass a resolution making effective the tariff schedules from the day the bill was reported cut of the Ways and Means Committee and without waiting for the formality of the House debating and voting on the measure, The Longworth resolution was the result of the heavy pressure from the interests which were not taken care of in the schedules of the Young “emergency” bill, which was classified as primarily “a farmers’ bill” ‘The “emergency” bill was intended to create a favorable atmosphere for the permanent Bill by eliminating the sentiment tn the agricultural regions against the tariff. The Longworth resolution, with its revolutionary plan, raised so much unfavorable comment in the House that, following the caucus Wednes- day, when the backers of the measure failed to get an indorsement for it, the resolution has been abandoned to its fate and will not be pressed to a vote, The caucus of House Repub- licans served to bring out divergencies of opinion on the majority side rather than Jo smooth out difference: The efforts to reach an agreement on a programme were so ineffective that the conference broke up without the formality of an adjournment mo- tlon and without a date being set for another conference. It had been ex- pected to pass the permanent tariff bill by June 1, but the indications are to-day that it will not be ready to submit to the House before July 1. Republican members who have sum- mer Chautauqua engagements are planning to leave Washington, seeing no prospect of early action on the tariff. One of the rocks on which the Re- publicans have split is the proposal or some of those representing the manu. | facturing districts that the farme: having received their’ six months’ “protection” under the emergency bill, should permit the permanent bill ta be largely a manufacturers’ tariff measure. The Republicans from the agricultural regions of the West and the border States of the, South have been “whooping it up” for the tariff on the theory that the farmers would continue to be t -eficiaries under the forthcoming measure, They are not content to see the manufacturers di- vide the protection melon among themselves. | The old sectional fight between the East and West on the tariff question came to the front in the caucus delib- erations, and, according to cloakroom gossip to-day, the differences ure not ‘| Susceptible to adjustment, The Eust-} ern Republicans have taken the po- sition that the West should be satis- fied with having put over the “farm- ers’ bill” in (he emergency tariff, and should now let the Eastern wing of the party frame the permanent bill. But the West is not satisfled with the sop thrown to it in the temporary law and threatens to defeat the whole, tariff programme if the farmers’, schedules are not incorporated in the) new bill in toto, j The Westerners recall that some of the most vicious attacks on the emer- gency bill came from Eastern Repub- licuns, led by Senator Moses and the} New Englanders, who characterized it as severely as did the Democrats, and they feel that It is quite out of piace for some of those Republican: who helped delay the emergency measure to now try to minimize the farmers’ share of “protection” when st comes to the permanent law. [t was the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill of 1909 and the antagonism between the Eastern and Western Republicans which gave the Democrats their vic- tory In the Congressional elections of 1910 and subsesuently contributed to Democratic victory on a bigger scale in 1912. de» Chums Try to Res- cue Hii, While in swimming with two boy com- panions sixteen-year-old Daniel Judgo- said to live at No. 629 East 179th day near Camp bell’s Island, the Bronx.

That the recent Investigation by civic organizations of the condition in public schools, which is the basis oha scathing report as to forty of them, now in course of preparation by the Public Education Association, ‘was made with the knowledge and Approval of Superintendent of Schools Ettinger, became known to-day. An example of the conditions that have been revealed by the investigu- tion of the Committce of Forty Or- ganizations is furnished by Public School No. 51, situated almost in the centre of “Hell's Kitehen,” mear 10th Avenue and 44th Street. This build- ing was investigated by the Publis Education Association and subse- quently a study of it and Public School No. 19 was made by the De- partment of Ac ninistration of Teach- ers’ College, Columbia University. “@he play space which is provided is ® mockery of the worst kind,” says the report of the Teachers’ College in- vestigators. The basement play room is dark, damp, poorly lighted, poorly ventilated, foul smelling, unclean, and wholy finfit for children for purposes of play. “The drain pipes from the roof have decayed to such a degree that in some instances as little as qinrter of the pipe remains, On rainy days water enters the classrooms, hallways, cor- ridors, and is thrown against win- dows because the down pipes have rotted away. “The narrow stairways and halls are similar to .ose of jails or dun- geons of a century ago. “The classrooms are poorly lighted, inadequately equipped, and in some cases so smal] that the desks of pu- pilg and teachers occupy almost all of the floor space. The painting on the | © wall is falling off in many places.” ‘The natural lighting of some of the classrooms js totaily inadequate. One of the worst fire-trape in the city school systems, according to the Pubdile Education Association, is to be foynd in Public School No, 70 in 7th Street, just a block east of F.fth Avenue, the wealthiest street in the world. In @ report on this structure the association described it as fol- wi ‘It consist of an old shell of a structure, erected decades ago as a modern school building. Nearly 2,000 children are crowded into class rooms having a total legal seating capacity of scarcely 1,000. Narrow doorways, intricate hallways and antiquated stairways, dark and precipitous, keep ever alive the danger of disastér from ‘ire or panic. Only the eternal vigi- lance of exceptional supervision has served to lessen the fear of such a catastrophe. “Artificial light Is necessary, even on the brightest days, in many of the class rooms, In most of the roome it is always necessary when the sky is slightly overcast.” ‘There is no ventilating system, That>the children of the east do not fare any better than the chil- dren of the west side is shown by the report of the Public Education As- sociation on public schools, 130, 108 and 106, all of which are described as fire traps. P. 8, 130, the report says, “corner of Hester and Baxter Streets, which was purchased by the city years ago as a school site, but about which there has been so much tweedledee- ing and tweedledumming, that the new building, which ts to replace these old structures, is still to be planned. Meanwhile, hundreds of children, year after year are compelled to study daily in dark and dingy class- reoms. “Artificial light is continuously necessury, The ventilation is ex- tremely poor. The fire hazard is naturally great. There are no rest rooms whatever for the teachers. The Principal has no office at all. And the clerk is ‘stuck in a hole in the roof.” In Public School 108, around the corner on Mott Street, conditions are even worse, “Here is an interesting bit of ad- ditional information regarding Pub- Ne School 108, and 106: “In accordance with the require- ments of the syllabus in hygiene in the schools, the vision of the ehil- dren is regularly tested, In a recent test of this character it was found that in Public School 108 the rate of defective vision in the various grades ranged from 50 to 64 per cent! In Public School 106 the rate ranged from 43 to 94 per cent.!" Conditions, described as intoler- able, aggravated by the proximity of a swamp which J8 used as a dump, were found by the Public Education Association at Public School 48, at Hunt's Point, in the Bronx, more than a year ago, and these condi- tions were not permanently remedied, The conditions found In the fore- going institutions are not exceptions to the rule, according to Howard A.

Inquiries on aspirations of the Sraduating class of Barnard Col- lege, one of the world’s largest women’s schools, to-day revealed that at least 80 per cent. expect to make their mark in business. “There is a drift from teach- ing and other special profes- sions,” said Mise Katherine Doty, Secretary. “These new profes- sions and occupations include: efficiency engineering, bond sell- ing, draughtsmanship, farming, architecture, sculpturing, egstume designing, law, medicine, psycho- logical work, executive positions in department stores, buyers, newspaper work, volunteer so- cial, civil and religious work.

It was contended that the land under water should not be taxed at all, Justice Platt in ihis decision says: “The fact that some of the land ts flooded does not exempt it from tax- ation, ‘True, it cannot be used for other purposes while covered with water, except for ice. It forms an integral part of the reservoir. With- out it the ‘dam would be useless.” Justice Platt in commenting on his decision said he thought it would be an excellent idea if the City of New York harvested the ice on all the big reservoirs in Westchester and sold it to the poor of Manhattan at cost. “JOB NO. 2” A CHILD’S BANK Burglar in «Newark Home Leaves Note Ending: “So Long, Pete.” NEWARK, N.
