invading the prcroGatives of House.
The question of Legislation to create
a permanent tariff commission is at
tracing far more attention IN the
House than in tho Senate where there
has been manifested a disposition to
await the outcome of conferences being
hold by Representatives LongWorth OF

Wisconsin. Whether these members
are able to harmoniZe their differences
has not been made clear, but it is said
that in the House as whole there is
sentiment generally for the enlarge
ment Of the tariff board and making its
existence continuous for nj least SIX
years. Some members favor making
the life OF the commission ~ years and
still others would go as high as 20
years.
Most serious OF all of the questions
involved is that of giving to the COM
mission the power to demand books

members favor having the commission
call for such documents where they
believe them to be necessary and in

New York. Dec. 1S.-Quite the most
important and significant feature of the
past week in the financial district was
the increased demand for bonds. The
movement doubtless gathered some
momentum from the decision of the
Georgia court Of appeals, which dis
tinctly favored holders of income bonds
of the Central Railroad of Georgia and
the additional fact that January divi-
dent disbursement invariably seek re-
investment in the high trade securities.
Altogether the revival Of public inter-

augury.
In the stock market the movement
was again Irregular, with alternate
manifestations of strength and weak
ness. The outcome was hardly salts

Glover Bros. to Go
Before Grand Jury.

Boston, Mass, Dec. lo.--The exhibits in
the Glover murder casc-the revolver, the
pin, the comb the cap the powder

some reminders-;re to be taken from
District Attorney Higgins by the Clio
yer brothers. it is reported, and put into
the hands of Attorney General-elect
James NJ. Swift of Fall River.
The Glover brothers, it is said, will not
countenance the prosecution of the case
against the person whom they suspect of
being the real murderer, and are at
tempting to get Attorney General-elcct
Swift to take charge of the case.
The Glover brothers, thinking that Dis
trict Attorney Higgins is somewhat loath
to act against the person whom they
have in mind. intend to go direct into the
session of the grand jury. which comes
in within few days. and make an APP
peal to the foreman They have a right
to be heard in this way. if they wish it:
and no pcrson--not even District Attor-
ney Higgins would have the right to OPP
pose them.
The Glover brothers freely admit, how
ever. that District Attorney Higgins, in
view of the statements which Judge Bond
is said to have made concerning the i'll
dictment of a certain person connected
with the case. is fully justified in any
stand which he may take.
They feel, however, that certain new
evidence which they claimed to have dis
covered justifies their appearance In per-
