IL there TO be an extra session of the
Sixty-second Congress to revise the tar
in? Representative Sherwood of Ohio
thinks so.
IF there isn't going to be an extra
session." said Mr.. Sherwood, why are
the appropriation bills being prepared
and rushed through in such wild haste !?
Why is the ways and means committee
willing to grant hearings on any and all
schedules of the tariff?
ut looks to me as II there would be a
month to six weeks at the end Of the
session. in which Congress would have
little to do. and that this period would
be utilized in beginning the revision Of
the most important Of the tariff sched-
ules against which most criticism has
been directed.
But. Of course this period would not be
sufficiently long to accomplish much. Con-
sequently 1 think there will be an extra
session, despite the denials Of the lead
ers of both parties
Some days ago Gen. Sherwood received
q letter from match manufacturers In his

went 10 the committee without much hope
of the request being granted, and was ex-

REWARDS BECKoN 1NFoRMERs.


The reward Of 100000 to Richard
Parr for disclosing the frauds practiced
on the customs service by the American
Sugar Refining Company at its New
York docks has so stimulated activities
'in the informing line" that the Treas
ury Department has been compelled to
ask for a large appropriation for this
purpose.
In asking for deficiency appropri-
alton Of $4,000, Assistant Secretary
Curtis OF the Treasury Department
made the following statement to the
House committee on appropriations:
THE real reason why. irrespective OF
the claim Of Parr, we need more money
is that we have increased number
OF informers coming in, owing to our own
increased activities and hope Of awards
similar to PARIS large sum of money.
1.-The activities in the informing line
are much greater than they were three
or four years ago, principally owing to
the fact that we are prosecuting the
cases with so much more vigor than
and discovering more frauds"
