NO MORE FUSION.
What Representative Howard Says of
the POpulists' Policy.


the POpulists' Policy.
Representative VI. w. Howard, the popu-
list from Alabama, who secured a re-elec-
ton from his district, after hard fight, is
in the city. Mr.. Howard was one of the
populist leaders in the south who never
took kindly to the fusion electoral plan
and upheld Candidate Watson in all the
latter had to say on the subject. Mr.
Watson appreciated Mr.. Towards position
to such an extent that he made several
speeches In Mr.. Towards district to aid in
his reelection
Mr. Howard talked to a Star reporter to-
day about the future movements of the
populistS. There will be no more fusion
of popuiists and democrats to aid demo-
cratic candidates." he said The free sill
YER men will have to come to the populist
party, which is the party of the people,
and which should have led the last fight.
1t will lead the next fight.
80 far as l am personally concerned,
intend to vote for as high a tariff as can be
obtained, either at the coming session Of
Congress or at the next, and l think that
will be the course of other populist men,
bers. l will do this whether l am in favor
of 1t or not. We will try the gold standard
and high tariff together. and let the repub-
licans demonstrate afterward whether 1t is
benef.ing the country. 1 don't believe the
populist Sena tors will obstruct tariff legis-
lation. l do not believe there will be any
tariff legislation at the coming session."

ties desire to warn the public against a

name to be Maria Brown, and her home
Brightwood. At some places where the
woman has called it is said she informed
those from whom she solicited aims that
she could get no help from the Associated
Charities because living at Brightwood she
was outside of the jurisdiction of the lat
ter; at other houses she has, it is stated
said that the Associated Charities had
offered her help If she would move into the
city, and at other places she has told other
tales.
The officials of the Associated Charities
say they know nothing whatever about
the woman. and hope the public will be

WILL BEGIN WORK MONDAY.
Joint Commission to Consider the Tax
on Alcohol In the Arts.

Senator Platt of Connecticut, who is
chairman of the joint commission of the
two houses of Congress appointed at the
last session to Investigate the question of
the taxation of alcohol used in the arts,
said today that the commission would
meet at - O'Clock next Monday for the
purpose of beginning It's work. ard that
it probably would continue its sittings I'M
til the conveEIng of Congress, though
whether in this city would depend upon
circumstances.
The commission will take up all the ques-
tioEs bearing upon the use of alcohol in
the arts and manufactures and will give
especial attention to the administration of
any law relieving from taxation alcohol
SO used. The principal objection to the
provision in the Wilson bill providing for
a rebate of the tax, which was repealed
when the commission was appointed, was
based upon the difficulty of administering
the law as to avoid fraud Upon the gov
eminent.
