WILSON’S SOHEMB orARANTKES
NATIVE CONTROL.
Am Soon mm Tariff Bill Was Passed
Senators and Congressmen Left
Capital on Vacations Which Maj
Cause Delay in Democracy’s Work
of Platform Fulfillment.
Political Washington, rellered o
the long drawn out consideration of
the tariff bill, will focus its attention
this week on the second of the Dem
ocratic reform measures—banking
and currency legislation. Through
the administration currency bill eas
ily passed the House, its pathway in
the Senate admittedly is full of obsta
cles. At present the Senate banking
committee has not yet begun consid
eration of the bill. Predictions at the
Capitol are general that the Senate
committee will be at work for s
month on the measure.
While there was unanimity on tar
iff rerlslon, widely divergent views
are held by Democratic Senators on
banking reform. A strong desire for
a single bank with branches, under
government control, instead of a re
gional reserve system of banks, has
made its appearance in the Informal
discussion. Other changes of a far
reaching character generally as
doubtful if a bill satisfactory to the
Senate banking committee can reach
the floor of the Senate before the
middle of November.
At the White House there is a con
fldence that the bill will be passed
this session or placed on the statute
hooks before the first of the year
The President wants thorough con
aideratlon of the currency bill and
any Improvement that the Senate can
make upon the nnaeuie aa passed by
the liouee will be wHcorued. His dis
position. however. 1* to strongly op^
pose any undue delay President
Wilson believes a general decrease
In the roet of living that will be felt
by the rank and file of the country. Is
not alone dependent on tnrlff revl
alon. but upon prompt reform of the
nation's monetary ayatetn as well as
careful amendment of the anti trust
lawa
The President's view of the effect
ol the tariff la la aeeordaeee with
eipreaslons from Kepreeentallve 1'n
derwood and other Democratic lead
era that while (he reductions in some
cases will be Immediate, the general
benefits will not at once be apparent
Even though the tariff laws might
bring many Imports Into this country
at low rates or free of (duty, the evils
of price filing, underselling and oth
er discriminations In restraint of
trade might, in the President a opin
ion. defeat the fruits of tariff reform
The way In which Senators and
Representatives got away from Wash
ington after the last decisive vote on
the I'nderwood Simmons tariff Mil
waa a caution Many of the members
who departed did not wait for the
technical repaaaage of the measure In
the House after the Senate had taken
Its last vote. It waa understood that
the Republicans would not raise the
point of no quorum on that procedure
of technical parliamentary consum
matlon, but if this understanding had
not held, or if its terms had been mis
understood by the Republican lead
era. President Wilson would not have
been able to sign the bill last week.
Now It Is easy enough to appreciate
the desire of the average Senator anil
Repreaentatlve to get away for
breathing spell and for attention to
private affairs In the lull after the
tariff achlevem^ft. It is further true
that the departure of the average
Senator or member who lives within
a few hours’ Journey of the Capitol
does not signify seriously, as he can
get back to Washington in a Jiffy
when the S. O. S. signal is sent out.
But there are a great many legisla
tors away who can not get back to
Washington In a Jiffy and who ought
to have remained at their posts until
the urgent deficiency bill was passed.
What good excuse the latter class
of members can give for leaving at a
critical time, when the Republicans
have served notice that they intend to
raise the point of no quorum to block
a big supply bill, it Is Impossible to
perceive. It would seem that legis
lators who are paid $7,500 a year
could stay at their work as well as
school children who get no salaries,
but the average percentage of atten
dance of able-bodied lawmakers in
Washington by no means equals that
of able-bodied pupils in the public
schools.
Most of the Representatives who
left Washington for distant polnas
Friday and Saturday, in the face of
an appeal from Floor Leader Under
wbod for them to stick around until
the deficiency bill had been passed,
will hare to come back at their own
expense to make the needed quorum

Gov.-Gem. Harrison Annoances Presi
dent's Plan to Give Natives a Ma
jority on Commission.
Ultimate independence for the Fil
ipino people Is contemplated in the
policy of President Wilson announc
ed a few days ago In the inaugural
address of Francis Burton Harrison,
the new goVernor-general of the
Phlllipines. The first step In the
President’s policy toward the Islands
is to have a majority of the Philli-
pine commission composed of Fili
pinos, thus giving the Islanders Im
mediate control In the higher body
of the Philliplne Congress, which cor
responds to the Senate in the Ameri
can Congress.
The Manilla manifesto will be soon
put Into effect, when Amerlran Com
missioner Frank A. 'Branagan and
Vice-Governor Gilbert, are retired jn
the near future. Their places will
be filled by natives. Two new Ameri
can commissioners, however, will be
named to take the places of Commis
sioners Worcester and Elliott, recent
ly resigned. This will give the Fili
pinos six commissioners in the higher
legislative body of the Phlllipines and
the Amerlrans three. Insuring native
control, as the Filipinos already have
a mapority In the lower body
Up to this time the commissioners
have been named by appointment
and there have been five Americans
and two natives on the hoard
Under American rule Filip no civ
ilization has advanced far beyond any
standard set In the Orient un Mr
Spanish control A general school
system has been established The
Judicial system Is comparable wltfi
that of most American states and the
archipelago has en oyed [rosperltv
In the new policy the future of the
Islands Is placed In the hands of the
natives and the next step* toward In
lependence util depend on the mcas

government

An improvement in the condition
of the corn crop during the last

busheia is the estimated final pro
duction waa the feature of the de
partment of agriculture's October

is placed at 2,737,000,000 bushels, or
7'»2,000,000 bushels below last year’s
record crop. Tobacco prospects In
creased 1.9 per cent, during the
month and flax 5 per cent., while
prospects of rice decreased 7.4 per
cent., buckwheat fi.7 per cent, and
white potatoes 1.8 per cent. The
preliminary estimates of the produc
tion of spring wheat and all wheat
place the yield at about the same
quantity as predicted last month
Oats prospects Increased so that the
preliminary estimate of production is

There are a number of these games

it would be well for the people of this

vor Tells Story of Fire.
Not since the Titanic sank has Eu
rope been so thrilled as by a wireless
message Saturday telling of the
burning of the steamer Volturno In
mid-Atlantic, with a loss, so far as is
at present known, of 135 lives and
the rescue of 521. The survivors are
now aboard a fleet of steamers sum
moned by the Volturno's call for held,
some of which are bound eastward
and others westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rotter
dam on October 2 for New York. Ac
cording to the ofticial statement she
carried 22 first cabin passengers, 538
steerage and a crew numbering 96.
The rescue ships reached the scene of
tin* disaster in plenty of time to save
all, hut for hours stood by the blaz-
inz vessel, impotent because of the

WRONGLY ADDRESSED
Pile op in the Dead Letter Office at
the Department.
That letter writers and those who
use the mails generally may guard
against practices which may affect the
delivery of their mail and for the gen
eral instruction of the public, the post
office department has caused to be
prepared for distribution a card show
ing a model form of address and con
taining instructions as to how to ad
dress and prepare a letter or pack
age for mailing. Much trouble is
eyperienced in the delivery of mail
matter, it is said, because the senders
do not write the name and address of
the person in full for whom it is
intended. Abbreviations, especially
of given names and of some states,
sometimes make correct delivery im
possible, it Is said.
For instance, a complaint was re
ceived recently that a letter address
ed to F. Smith had not been promptly
delivered. As no street and number
were given, the delivering authorities
were thrown upon the city directory
for a more complete address. “F”
stands for a great many given
names, both of men and women, and
as there happen to be a great many
with ”F” as their first Initial given in
the directory, trials first with one
and then with "another had to be
made until the correct addressee was
found. "Pa ” and "Va ”, accepted ab
breviations for Pennsylvania and Vir
ginia. also give trouble, it is said

A graphic story by the solitary sur
vivor who is a German named Trin
t'-pohl, aboard the Carmania was re
ceived by wireless and presents a
terrible picture of the horror, the
panic and confusion aboard the burn
ing liner.
"All went well,” said Trintepohl,
"until 6 o'clock Thursday morning,
when the fire alarm sounded. We
sere aroused and ton! to go on deck,
as gre had -broken out in the hold.
On. assembling life belts were handed
around and much time was occupied
in fastening them. We were told that
the fire soon might be quenched, but
the captain thought it wise for all to
have belts as a precaution.
"The gre frightened the children,
who cried bitterly. There were ma'ny
babies in arms. The fire grew worse.
We saw things blasting down below.
About 10 o’clock there was a cry to
lower the boats.
"The captain behaved splendidly.
So did the officers, who were Eng
lish. I am sorry to say that the crew,
who were Germans and Belgians, be
haved very badly. The people rush
ed about wildly and the crew seemed
to think they ought to have first
place, and instead of quieting the pas
sengers they made the panic worse.
“The firemen rushed up from be
low and refuse^ to go back. The cap
tain drew his revolver and drove
them below but soon after, as the
fire waa spreading, they were obliged
to abandon the engines.

The Queens county Jail In Long Is

from New York, was the scene of a
double tragedy Wednesday night
which was probably a case of mur
der and suicide. Henry Schleth, who
was warden of the Jail, returned lo
IBs apartments there at an early hour
Thursday morning and found his wife
and a four-year-old son dead, each
with a bullet wound in their right
temples. Near Mrs. Schleth was
found a lAvolvcr with two chambers
empty. Both r other and child were
in their niuht clothes. Schleth could
suggest no motive for his wife’s act
which thp authorities agreed appear
ed to he -murder of herself and child
destruction.
