OPPOSE A COMMISSION
Democrats and Republicans Are
Against the Plan.

Washington, Dec. S.-Herbert f.
Miles of the tariff committee of the
National Association of Manufacturers
resumed the stand before the house
ways and means committee today He
continued his arguments for tariff re-
vision downward. The schedules Whlcn
Mr.. Miles claimed can be reduced ma
terialIy are those imposing tariff on
sugar, glass and hides. Mr.. Miles salo
that the duty on lower grades OF tex
tiles could be reduced while the h1gh-
er grades could be increased. He also
declared that the farmer gets no re-
lief from the duty on hides, while as
result of the tariff on hides the 1nde-
pendent tanners are imperilled by the
packers.
The witness then told the committee
that 90 per cent of the manufacturers
want a tariff commission or bureau
to handle the revision of the tariff
Replying to this suggestion Chalr-
man Payne said Il am confident that
the man engaged in business wants TO
know that the tariff rates are settled
and subject to changes. 1 don't think
there could be any greater harm to
the country than would result from
having a body of men constantly
agitating changes in the tariff
Representative Underwood, Dem, OF
Alabama, agreed with Mr. Payne as to
the inadvisa bility of having tar1H
commission.

Washington, Dec s.-The presi-
dents message to congress was read
in both houses today.
The document is long one and
covers several newspaper pages.
The message was accompanied by
photograph illustrating forest denudfa-
tion.
Probably the most notable thing
about the message is its lack of any
reference whatever to the tariff The
president seems to have left the tariff
question entirely for his successor,
who will call a special session of con-
gress Immediately after he takes the
oath of office to consider this ques-
ton
Aside from the tariff, however,
President Roosevelt covers nearly ev-
cry other subject likely for treatme ent
in these annual messages.
He refers to the necessity of addi-
tional legislation involving labor. but
opposes radical measures advocated
by some of the leaders, declaring they
would be unconstitutional.
He refers to his well known attitude
on the government restriction of rail-
roads and other corporations, adVO-

renewS his former recommendations
for the income tax, the establishment
of postal saving banks and parcel posts

He says the nation, rather than forty
or fifty states, should exercise control
over the railroads.
He tells the Cubans that if they will
in the future avoid a government from
without they must be careful to show
that they have the ability to govern
from within.
He says that the Filipinos are making
progress, but are not yet fitted for self
government.
He says that the financial standing of
the nation at present is excellent, but

To the Embarrassed Fidelity

The Concern Was Organized by

Priests and Nuns.

Philadelphia, Dec. s.-Former
Secretary Leslie M Shaw, who is
president of the First Mortgage Guar
antee & Trust company of this city,
admitted today that the Fidelity Fund
ing company of New York owes him
100000. Said Mr.. Shaw:
My loans are fully covered by

OF any government on earth and mar
Sined with additional notes at nearly
100. 1 think the same is true with
most and very likely all the banks and
insurance companies.
Some of the papers have spoken of
the st. Mary's academy of Benedictine
sisters and the Sisters of Visitation
and other Catholic societies and insti-
tutionS as creditors. Unfortunately
these societies are debtors. The banks,
insurance companies and private indi-
viduals are the creditors.
IAN effort was made a year ago to
increase the capital of the company
to something over two million and
some subscriptions were made q was
one of the subscribers) on condition
that the full amount should be raised.
This ought to have been done, as the
proposition was all right, if properly
handled.
"A monsignor of the Catholic church
told me that he had known Mr. Kier-
nan for years and had never known a
more upright gentleman or a man with
higher ideas. In my Judgment there is
but one thing for the church to do.
Just as soon as the several bishops
whose dioceses are involved come to
realize the situation, they will undoubt-
edly get together, appOrtion the loss
among them and pledge it's payment.
They will then have no difficulty in get
ting the necessary financial aid
IF each church and society will pay
the legitimate debts they have contract
ed the actual loss will be comparative
ly small, possibly $1,000 or 100000,
