POWER OF THE SPEAKER

One Of the interesting problems
confronting the Democratic ma
iority is regarding the power Of
the Speaker While the Repubh.
cans are in power it is a vicious
and wicked thing for The Speaker
To be invested with autoeratie au-
ihority. As soon. however. as the
Democrats secure control. il turns
out to lie a wise and benign pro-
vision for the Speaker To have
such authority as is necessary to
enforce the rights aud privileges
Of the majority. II may be a good
thing Theoretically for n commit
tee on committees to he given
charge of the work which under
the Republican regime was in the
hands Of the Speaker. But after
all, when one comes TO think of
IL. MS a Democrat, Of course, it
may be seriously questioned
whether a committee on commit
ices is the poper thing. after all.
Mr.. Cannon, with very compre-
hcnsive power bestowed upon
him. was a Gar; Mr.. Clark in the
possession Of simiInr powers be
lieves that he would be q very he.
nign despot Somebody once said
that the best form Of government
was an enlightened despotism
There seems to be a general idea
that this is the form Of govern
meut Mr. Clark is in favor of.

S5OO,OOO LOST IN
FIRE IN SEATTLE
Missing Persons Are Accounted
For and All Those Injured
Will Recover

SEATTLE, June 11.-Persons report
ed missing last night during the fire
that destroyed six city blocks of build
ings on the northern water front turned
up today. and it is believed that there
was no loss of human life. None OF
the half dozen persons injured was
seriously hurt. There is no salvage
in the six burned blocks.
The fire department estimates the
loss at 100000. Galbraith, Bacon q
Co., the heaviest losers. place their
loss at $150,O00. we'll insured. the
Grenorchy apartments We're valued at
$25 900 and the Wallfirst hotel at $50
OOO These two were the only brick
buildings lost. The burned area was
mainly covered by saloons. hotels,
lodging houses and dwellings barely
able to escape condemnation as unsafe
or insanitary.
During the fire tangle of live cleo
trio wires in the streets was great
hindrance to the firemen. On certain
planked streets the wet boards became
electrified and gave shocks to per-
sons walking over them. Ellsworth
Anger, aged 80, was struck by live
wire and rendered unconscious }.
Myrono was burned about the eyes.
Fred Risley, patrolman, was injured
about the spine when he fell through
floor in the Wallfirst hotel while
searching for bodies.
Sixty horses were burned in a stable
on Railroad avenue
The district in which the houses
were destroyed consists of the area
bounded ON the west by Railroad ave
nue., on the east by Second avenue. on
the south by Battery street and on the
north by Vine street. On the east side
of Third avenue an open place gave
the firemen a chance to make a deter
mined stand and they succeeded in
stopping the progress of the flames. a
rain which began shortly after the fire
started developed into q heavy shower
shortly after midnight.

APPRAISERS UPHOLD
COLLECTORS ASSESSMENT
"Tape" Is Tape According to
Ruling of Board

The Burlington Venetian blind conn
pany was defeated by the board of
United States general appraisers when
it was decided that so called "Iadder
tape assessed for duty at the rate of
so per cent providing for "tapes. webs
and weddings composed wholly or in
part of cotton, flax or other vegetable
fiber, or of cotton, fax or other vege-
table fiber and India rubber. or of other
fiber, India rubber or metal, is dutiable
properly as assessed at the rate of go
per cent, under the provisions OF para
graph 349 which provides for the goods
enumerated.
The importing concern alleged in its
protest that the articles are dutiable
properly at the rate of 40 per cent under
the provisions in the act of 1909 for
manufactures of cotton not specially
provided for" This contention how
ever, the board fails to support. The
SO called cotton tape is made and i'm
ported solely for use in the manufacture
of Venetian blinds. II is urged by the
counsel for the importers that the tame
is not on the same ground with the
cotton tapes specified in paragraph 349,
and should not, therefore, be classified
under the same head. In overruling the
protest General Appraiser Fischer in his
decision for the board says that it would
be an unreasonable straining of inter-
probation of the law not to hold the
goods dutiable as assessed.
| General Appraiser Fischer in his deci-
sion goes into discussion regarding
the intent of congress in framing the
present law. He says that it will be
| found that paragraph 339, tariff act of
1897, which is the paragraph corree
spending to No. 349 of the present act
of 1909, did not specify beltings, bind
ings, cords, ribbons, tapes, webs and
weddings. After a long inquiry into
the intent of congress and the wording
of the acts of 1897 and 1909, the general
appraiser reaches the conclusion that
the collectors assessment must be up
held.
