TO QUERY FOREIGN BANKERS.
Plans Being Formed by the Monetary
Commission.

The monetary, commission appointed by
the last session met today in the rooms
of the Senate committee on finance and
had a two-hour executive session. All OF
the members except Senator Knox and
Senator Daniel were in attendance. The
report of the subcommittee, which went
abroad last summer to investigate bank
ing conditions, was read in part, and some
discussion followed as to the best method
of proceeding with what promises to be
the most comprehensive financial inquiry
that has ever been made since the foun-
dalton of the government.
This afternoon the freight subcom-
mittee. including Representative Burton
OF Ohio, who although not member
of the subcommittee, pursued with the
members the inquiries of last summer
abroad, and who. in consequence, is at
tending the present deliberations. will
meet to formulate a list of questions to
be sent to foreign bankers, both of
England and the continent. Much tcs-
timony of foreign financial authorities
was taken last summer, but a great deal
Of it was obtained under pledge Of Sc
crecy. Consequently the committee finds
1t necessary now to submit a formal
list of questions which later will be
published with the answers received
from the leaders Of the banking world
abroad.
The committee plans to make partial
report on administrative banking this
winter and to submit it's full report to
the first session of the Sixty-first Con-
gress. All winter papers and mono
graphs by eminent financial authorities
OF foreign countries will be coming in
to the committee and will be published
as soon as received.

Navy YARD WORKERS MUST 60
200 TO 800 MEN TO LOSE JOBS
ABOUT JANUARY /.
Workshops to Be Put on "Peace Foot
ing" by Order of Department.,
Says Admiral Leutze.

CONSERVATION was caused at the Wash
ington navy yard this afternoon when an
official bulletin was posted announcing
that between 700 and 800 employees Will
be dismissed on or about January !.
In the light of recent statements of Of
iciaIs of the navy that there would prob
ably be no further reduction of the force
OF the naval gun factory. confidence was
restored in the ranks Of the thousands OF
workers They were looking forward to
work for the winter and the support OF
their families in the period of ice, cold
and chilling SHOWS and north winds.
The announcement today. therefore,
came like lightning from a clear sky
to the toilers at the navy yard Many
were dumfounded. Mechanics and help
ers are fearful that theirs may be the
names to appear on the fateful list OF
men whose services are to be dispensed
with at the close of the present year.
The order is signed by Rear Admiral
Leutze commandant of the yard, and ex-
plains that the reduction will be neces-
sarv to reduce the force of the Washing
ton navy yard to a peace basis. 1t was
stated however. that the order for the
reduction of the force came from the
Navy Department. and that Admiral
Leutze had no alternative.
An officer of Columbia Lodge OF Ma
chinists said this afternoon:
THE proposed discharge. II carried into
effect, will mean a loss to the business
men of the District OF more than $1,000
per day. or a. quarter Of million dol
lars each year. We feel that If all the
ordnance work which was provided for
by Congress had been placed In the
Washington navy yard the proposed re,
duction would not have been necessary"

morning at 91S 18th street northwest. be-
fore he could dispose of it finally. A de-
tective has been assigned to look into the
details of the woman's death and it may
be necessary to'@hold an autopsy. There
has been no mention of foul play. but the
circumstances are out of the ordinary.
and the coroner wants to know everything
possible in the case.
The body is at the morSue. Friends ana
acuuaintances of Mrs. Morrell have been
calling up the coroner and other officials
constantly since Sunday morning. to make
sure that the body will not have TO be
buried in potter's field. All chance of
this has been averted by the generosity
of Washington people who know some
thing of the history of the woman. nth
the coroner dsposes of the case the body
will be taken care of at the morgue.

ed upon for years a wealthy woman.
as her work brought her a large income.
but it is understood she lost practically
all of it in real estate speculations.
For several years she has been forced TO
live upon the charity Of others. Mrs
Charming, at whose home she has been
living for some time past. has befriended
her, and she also received small sums
from Nine. Bergerot Of Paris
This income was not sufficient for her 10

too small to supply any of the comforts
that are necessary for woman over
ninety. Not long ago she was elected
from her home on 9th street northwest.
and had to ask for help. as she was with
