OPPOSE CHANGE IN NAME
COMMISSIONERS OBJECT TC
AVENUE OFTHE PRESIDENTS.
Opinion of Bill to Give New Desig-
nation to Part of 18th
Street.

The Commissioners see no reason for
changing the name of the upper portion
of 10th street northwest to The Avenue
of the Presidents" and today have ex-
pressed that opinion in letter to Chair
man Smith of the House committee on
District affairs, who asked for an express
sion of opinion on the bill in the House
providing for a change of name.
There have been various suggestions
made to the Commissioners as to a new
designation to be given to the street. IT
was urged that a change of name would
result in the erection on this street of
more important structures, of public and
private character. thereby greatly in
creasing the revenues from taxation, with
corresponding benefits to the District.
Other reasons were assigned, such as
that the street is boulevard and that
it is Of greater width than other streets.
Previous Order Revoked.
The Commissioners considered the mat
ter, and the former board of Commits
sioners, by majority vote. changed the
name to the longer title by an order
dated April 13, 1909. Recently the cor
poration counsel has advised the Com
mjssioners that the board has no au-
thority to adopt this order, and it was
revoked.
The Commissioners believe that they
should not make precedent for chang
ing the existing names of streets. If
the adopted system is disregarded," they
told Representative Smith, there is rea-
son to believe that similar propositions
will be submitted to change the names
of streets to avenues and to change the
names of various avenues, which are now
named after states and territories of the
Union, to names which might be conSid-
cred by the residents thereon as more
euphonious.

PASSED|N RE|CHSTAG
American Tariff Bill Adopted
Without Debate.
ONLY A FEW DISSENTERS
Extreme Conservatives Alone Offer
Objections to the Bill.
EXPLAINED BY CHANCELLOR
Agreement to End Immediately
Should the United States at Any
Time Increase Duties.

BERLIN, February 5.-The reichstag
without debate today adopted unmodi-
fled the bill approving the government S
tariff arrangement with the United
States.
But for the protest of a few of the
extreme conservatives the measure
would have passed all three readings
| unanimously
Vice Chancellor Delbrueck, in intro
ducing the bill, gave a brief recital of
the course of the negotiations, and said
that the United States had demanded
a number of concessions, the granting
of which would have been equivalent
to a decided encroachment upon Ger
many's legislative and police autonomy.
Particularly was this true in respect to
the veterinary police regulations He
said:
1T was our first duty to leave the
United States in no doubt that we
to such attempts to attack our leglsla-
ton and policing measures in connec-
ton with the tariff negotiations"
Is Made Retroactive.
Discussing the bill itself the vice chan
cellor pointed out that the German gov
ernment had given the agreement such
form that if the United States failed to
adhere to the concessions made Germany
could shape her course accordingly, add
| ing:
| For the bundesrath is authorized to
| admit American imports at conventional
| duties within reasonable limits, and this
authorization ceases Immediately when
| the United States collects higher rates
| upon German imports than is provided In
| section / of the law of August >, 1909
| Herr Delbrueck further assured the
reichstag that the government could eX-
| pect confidently that Germanys excellent
relate with the United states would
| guarantee a conciliatory and broadmlnd-
| ed observance of the agreement.
| The president of the reichstag inquired
| whether any one else desired to speak,
and. no one responding, he added that II
| there was any objection to the immediate
and final passage of the measure that
! the house would adjourn and reassemble
| an hour later for the third reading in Or
4 der to comply with the rules of the
| chamber.
| No objection was raised and the bill
| was passed.

Three Resolutions Pending.

Senator kean would not indicate today
which of the three resolutions now be-
fore the committee will be favored by
the committee of which he is chairman.
1t has before 1t the Lodge resolution, re-
ported from the Senate committee on
finance with the approval of the Senate
leaders. calling for an investigation by a
select committee of five senators and
outlining its scope in general terms: 1t
has before 1t the Elkins resolution call
ing for an investigation by committee
of the same size and outlining its scope
in specific terms, with a special provision
for determining the relation of the tariff
and of big corporations to the cost of
living. and it also has before it the Nc
Cumber resolution, providing for an In
vestigation along similar lines by the
Senate committee on agriculture or a
subcommittee thereof.
1t is generally believed that the choice
of the committee will lie between the
Lodge and Elkins resolutions. Both pro-
vide for a sweeping investigation Of the
cost of living in this country and of the
comparative cost and selling prices of
articles of food and clothing In foreign
countries as we'll as in the United States.

o'clock that morning with Wolfe and
the woman. They stopped at Har-
mony's saloon, where he is bartender,
and he gave them quart bottle Of
whisky and four pint bottles of beer.
He identified the whisky bottle found
and said the beer bottles were the same
kind. He had accompanied Kempt to
the house of the Holmes woman about
midnight, with case of each beer and
pop. He went along to drive the team
back. When they reached the house
some kind of trouble was going on and
the Richards woman asked him to drive
her to Sheldon. He came back to town
and made arrangements with Wolfe to
drive her and returned to the house and
brought the woman to Ryall's barn,
after some delay. The three remained
in the office for nearly an hour before
starting out; no one else was there.
When the sleigh left the saloon Gross
understood that they were going to In
x
Richard Kempt was sworn and identi-
fed the dead woman as the Mabel
Richards, whom he said had been stop
ping at the house of Coriene Holmes
for a week She was an ignorant girl,
could neither read nor write. There
had been some kind of a quarrel be-
tween her and the Holmes woman,
which was at its height when he re-
turned from town with the beer. He
understood it was something about a
meal, but nothing serious. He said she
was not drunk.
J. L. Ryall went on the stand and
told of having gone TO the barn with
his wife at / 80 on returning home from
party, and found Wolfe figuring up
some accounts. He said something
about having to make drive yet, but
that was not uncommon. The next
morning he found a slip in Wolfe's
writing which read $3.50 a. m. gone to
Sneldon." The sleigh he described as
a light box attached to pair of light
bobs, with top on the seat. He had
heard such rigs spoken of as death
traps" The team Wolfe had taken was
quite free" and it would ordinarily
take them about an hour and half to
drive to the scene of the accident.
Wolfe was a sober man and a careful
driver.
F. L Tinder brought the rig back
home for Mr. Ryall He told of the
nature of the ground where the rig was

"A Man with a Message,

No introduction is necessary in pre-
senting Detective Owen 0. Wizard TO
the people of America. His work as
an apostle of civic righteousness for a
quarter of century, in securing the
enforcement of law and in campaigns
for the enactment of better laws and
election of a higher type of manhood to
positions of public trust, has made his
face and name familiar both in the
courts of our country and on chautau
qua and lyceum platforms.
Captain Wizard has unquestionably
arrested more offenders against crimes
pertaining to the morals of the people
than any other man of any age or cline.
His thrilling narratives of adventure in
overthrowing graft on part of officials,
of raids on opium dens, gambling hells,
concert halls and houses of iniquity are
most fascinating and are told so as to
offend none and elicit the support of all
good people in the campaign for the
cleansing of our cities.
At the opera house next Sunday eve-
ming, Feb. 6.
