the three laps allowed Wood for his fall

off Gimm and every one else on the track.
He went out again two minutes before

TARIFF AND FINANCES.
Two Matters Congress VIII Give I'm
mediate Heed, Says Mr. Overstreet.

Representative Jesse Oyers.reet is at the
Denison on flying trip from Washington.
Mr.. Overstreet passed through Indianapolis
Monday on his way to Franklin. He re-
turned here last night and will leave for
Washington tomorrow to be on hand for
the called session of Congress.
Representative Overstreet says that he
looks for but two important matters to
come before Congress for legislation at The
special session. One is the subject Of a
monetary commission and the other - the
tariff
Il think" said he. ''the House will get TO
work at once on the monetary matter and
rush il to finish"
What do you think of the effectiveness
of the work performed by the recent mon
etary convention in Indianapolis?"
Il think it very effective, indeed. The
convention was a representative che of solid
business men whose opinions CARED We .ght,
ana they took Just the right me,hOd for
reform. Congress cannot at.Drd IN, and.
think, viii not, disregard the pro bounced
opinion of such Il body Of men that the
financial system Of the country needs re-
FORM L think they are duly impressed with
the action of the convention and. indeed,
think that the expression Of President Nc
kinley in his inaugural address which was
so strongly In favor OF financial renovation.
is due largely TO the work of the lnoianap-
oils convention. Personally. / f3Nor the
appointment at once by Congress of com
mittee TO investigate the financial situation
and report to the needs of The country.
Then no time should be lost in passing the
necessary legislation"
What form do you think the :dri1 leg
islation will take?'
1T Will be the lines Of increased pre-
lection. though not a radical change.
think perhaps a greater ndm) y of articles
Will be subjected to duty, but the tarln Will
be on a lighter scale Than hat of he Nc
Kinley bill. The Ding ley bill vii be ready
for consideration in about a week ) time
and think Will pass tie House "a once. 1t
will meet with somewhat more opposition
in the Senate. but will doubtless pass
there too.
''Supposing the Dingley bill does pass.
what effect do you think 1t will have in
relieving the stress of hard times?
We'll, of course Ii is too much TO expect

Mr. Overstreet said he expected the called
| session to last about sixty days and that he
| was confident of good results in the two
| matters TO be considered.
