o, Albert Bernhard, who was
formerly Deputy Labor Commission
er for this State and who for the past
four years has been gathering statis-
tics in Europe for the Federal Labor
Department, is stopping at the Pa
lace Hotel. Mr. Bernhard has been
engaged for the past six weeks in
getting data in this city for the Sen
ate Finance Committee, appointed
by the last Congress TO make in
quries into the operation of the tariff
laws. Mr. Bernhard states that his
work, though now completed, had
been retarded by the unwillingness
of some San Francisco merchants to
furnish him with desired information.
Those who were least willing to assist
him in getting facts for the Govern
ment were those most affected by
tariff legislation, and presumably
those who will protest loudest should
the committee fail to reach coDclu-
sions favorable to them.

| spoke of the growing interest
that is being taken in Mrs. May
bricks case in my last letter. Mrs.
Blaine is taking an active interest in
her behalf and it is believed on her
return to Washington that the inte-
rest will increase rapidly. Mrs.
Harrison, wife of the President, says
that she has not studied the case
carefully, but has trusted to "Gail
Hamilton for her views of the sub
ject. She has perfect confidence in
her ability to get at the truth of the
question and is convinced that she
would never have gone into the mat
ter as earnestly as she has without
feeling convinced herself of the JUS
tice of Mrs. Maybrick's cause. She
says she IS emphatically in favor of
her acquittal if her guilt is even
doubted, and approves of new trial
because the question of her guilt has
been seriously mooted.
