MAY GO ON RECORD
MATTER OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONS
 OF CONGRESS.
Congress Seems to Be Opposed to Pol- fey of Drafting Legisaltion
 Through Commissions Aus
 thOrfxed for that Purpose.

Washington, April 22.-Congress Is preparing to go on record against the policy of drafting legislation through
 commissions, authorized for that pur-
 pose.
 Three propositions for the establish
 ment of important commissions have
 been suggested in the present session
 and may have to be disposed of be-
 fore adjournment. The principal one
 of these commissions Is that proposed
 to investigate tariff conditions and
 plan the revision that will take place
 next year. Another commission now
 In prospect is that before the House
 in connection with financial legislation
 and a third has been suggested by the
 National Civic Federation. The last
 named would provide for a general re- view of Legislation affecting capital and labor with the object of suggesting amendments to the Sherman antitrust laws. after the manner provided by the
 Hepburn bill which was advocated by
 the President in a special message to Congress.
 The leaders of the Senate and House have given the subject of the appoint
 ment of commissions considerable thought recently and have reached the conclusion that any such bodies organ ized shall be composed entirely of members of Congress. So far as a cur
 rency, commission Is concerned. the members seem to prefer one of ten
 members. five from each body. If q tariff commission is to be authorized.
 which is not now thought probable.
 the number might be increased to
 twenty members, equally divided be- tween the two Houses. Congress lead
 CTS are almost unanimously opposed to any commission to suggest amendments to the Sherman antitrust laws. It has been pointed out that conn
 missions made up of outside talent are expensive. Usually the salaries, au-
 thorized are much larger than those
 received by members of Congress
 There are many other expenses attach
 ed to such organizations and they are larger than the cost of preparing leg
 islation in the ordinary channels. It
 was pointed out today that little had | been accomplished, although one not able exception was that which prepared the preliminary draft of the gold stand ard law.

ft Iff4tl fs of something like seyenty-nve cases appealed from this county. The tram scripts sentsup from the various courts represented the neatest kind of work. it being an established fact that no prettfer- work goes mp from any other county. sp4s
 There :s young woman in the of flee of John c. Bradley, clerk or the Criminal Court, who looks after all the transcripts. and she says 1t Is her en- deavor to maintain the reputation of that office; that is, send up records that are absolutely perfect and immaculate. so far as neatness is concerned.
 Of the cases appealed from the Grim ,inal Court the most important prob ably is that of Clarence S. Miller, the white man condemned to death for. the murder of Fred w.. Rainbow. saloon man. last July. The killing occurred in what was known as the Senate Sa- loon.
 The question of whether or not the clerk of a police court has the right to issue warrant is raised in the ap- peal of Gran Wick, convicted of betting on pool game.
 Another case of importance is that of J. T. McAllister. a. physician. who was convicted of writing a prescription Tor more than one fourth of a pint of whis- key on Sunday. The true bill averred that he did not give the name or the person to whom the prescription was issued, nor stated the disease.
 Here is full list of the cases ap- pealed from the Criminal Court. exclu- sive of those already mentioned: Colia Thomas, convicted of larceny from a store; Frank Young. burglary and grand larceny; Arthur Allen, criminal assault Vines Gibbs, murder of Jake Cross; Harry Scoggins, murder of A A. nh rla n gaming; J. L. Condon. vagrancy; c. L.. Thomas. abandoning family and one other charge; Andrew Gray. embezzle :, ment; Arthur Welch, burglary and grand larceny; Jackson Jones. misege-- nation
