HEARING ADJOURNED
Printing Investigation is
Postpon d.
WILL DIGEST THE DATA
TWO MEMBERS OF COMMISSION
COULD NOT BE HERE.
Chairman Lands Gratifed at the
Hearty Cooperation of Gov
eminent Officials.

The investigation into the matter of waste
I'm publIc printing, which has been conduct
ed during the past week by the congress
sional commission under Representative
Lands. has been adjourned indefinitely. 1t Is
probable that hearings will be resumed
prior TO the converting of Congress, but no
positive date has been set.
Cause of the Adjournment.
Mr. lands stated today that in view of
the fact that Senator German is occupied
with an important campaign at home and
that Representative Perkins is likewise en-
gagged. both being members of the sub
committee of the printing investigation
commission. he had concluded to postpone
further hearings until a fuller attendance
of the members of the commission could be
secured. This will give the members an
opportunity to digest and scrutinize the
mass of data and information which the
commission has gathered and to go over at
leisure the testimony already taken. Be
yond this. the commission Is in possession
OF a large mass Of information obtained
during the spring and summer months, as
a result of It's Inquiries into the general
subject. The character of this information
Is largely statistical, and the commission
Is DESTROYS of further classifying and ar
ranging It, Various departments and Of
fees of the government also have been en-
gagged In the collection and preparation of
data, in response TO inquiries from the COM
mission last March. and these reports are
not yet all completed. 1t requires the COM
pletion of this information in order to sat
isfactorily push Its inquiries.
Chairman Lands Gratifed.
Mr.. Lands stated that he was much
gratifled at the hearty and sincere co-opera-
ton he has found on the part of the gov
eminent officials who have 10 do with the
public printing. from cabinet officers down.
There seems to be a universal desire to
cooperate" said Mr.. Lands. and already
the investigation is bearing rich fruits in
the way of economy in the public printing.
Estimates of the departments now being
prepared show in every instance, so far as
! can learn, reductions In these items.
The agitation of the subject has awak-
ened public interest that the commission Is
also finding of great value. One of the first
efforts of the commission last spring was
to start an inquiry calculated to evoke an
expression from the people leading to an
Intelligent estimate of the value placed
by the public on various governmental pub
locations. The result of this is bringing
forth expressions and suggestions from the
country at large. many of which the COM
mittee deems valuable"

Taber. Carey & Reid have come to
tie conclusion that misfOrtunes never
come singly. nowadays. any more than
they did in the old days when the say
ing to that effect was originated. 1t
was only last week that an oil tank
which they had just filled. on one of the
upper floors of their building. burst.
and allowed about a barrel of lubricat-
ing oil to run down to the different
floors below. and saturate everything
in its path. and they had just about got
the oil wiped off of the different arti-
cles of stock. when they got another
drenching Wednesday night. This
time. howeNr. it was water. and came
from the fourth floor of the building
where it is said that the feed valve to
the boiler in one of the rooms occupied
by the Knights CT Pythias had by some
means been left open. The trouble was
discovered at about 2.30, Thursday
morning. The boiler is located in the
rear end of the building. and the water
ran down through the different floors
of the hardware store. drenching
everything in its path. including lot
of stoves and sheet iron on the upper
floors. and the smaller classes of stock
on the street floor. 1t is not known
inst what the damage to the stock will
be. hut it will probably reach quite a
large amount.
