Silly hours Of the night. when there
are no foreign noises to compete with
his efforts to exercise his pipes"
His voice, under careful and consistent
training. has developed wide range of
power. At times 1t Is deep and resonant,
like train going over a bridge; then IL
shifts with grace and ease to the shril
treble Of the oboe.
And the neighbors listened IN peace and
quiet to 1t all until recently, when an agi-
tation to stop what they termed "a dis
turbance Of the peace was begun. A
delegation went to the authorities with
their tale of woe, found out who the per-
petrator Of the noises is-and then fed.
Now they're determined to stick It out
and see Mr.. Nelson through with his
speech Their only hope Is that after
such prolonged preparation the speech
won't appear in the Congressional Rec
ord under the leave to print ruling.

.SCHWAB FATHER
OF STEEL TRUST
First President Thought Out
Scheme for Combine.
Special to The washipr.on Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Aug. 4.-Charles NJ. Schwab
proclaimed himself to-day as the father
Of the United States Steel Corporation.
1t was in his fertile brain that the giant
combine had birth. and it was the finan-
cial genius Of ]. P. Morgan that gave it
sustenance.
Before the House committee investigat-
ing the steel trust the first president of
the combine and the present head of the
Bethlehem Steel Company told of a BAN
quet at which he explained his theories
of a monopoly of the steel business
which would reduce the cost of manu-
facture, and that he later was called
by Morgan to make bid for Carnegies
steel holdings.
Schwab denied that the trust was
formed to mulct the public by fixing
prices on their products, but its origin
was for the purpose of doing away with
waste in manufacture.

TRADE COMMISSION.
Senator Newlnnds' Suggestion VIII

A meeting of the Interstate Commerce
Committee of the Senate was held yes

the adjournment Of Congress- the commit
tee should resume its sessions on the 18th
of November next, with view TO hear
ing upon the various aspects OF the trust
question and OF determining whether any
other legislation upon this subject Is re-
quired. 1t was determined that, for the
purpose of the hearings. five members

Senator Newlands opened the hearing
with a statement regarding the bill re-
Gently introduced by him for the organi-
zation of an interstate trade commission,
with powers of investigation, correction,
and recommendation similar to those of

but to supplement It.

Report of Attorney General Ad-

A protracted conference over the re-

regarding the organization of the Ma

held yesterday between Secretary Of the
Treasury MacVeagh and Comptroller Of
the Currency Lawrence Murray. Both
refused to discuss the report after the

1t is now apparent that the report Of

strong to call for action against the Ma

laws IS not known. The banks Of Chi

To demonstrate that the demo-

tives intend to make good their
promise to make big reduction i'll
the annual expense of running the
body Representative Floyd of Ark
ansas, a member of the unofficial
committee on patronage, has In
troduced two resolutions to put
the plan agreed upon by the demo-
cratic caucus into effect. This is the
first step in the economy program
of the majority.
The police force of the Capitol gets
the hardest jolt. One of the Floyd
resolutions provides for reduction
Of the force by one lieutenant at
$1,000 year and thirty-four pri-
Yates at ST ,050 year each, total
cut of thirty-6ve jobs and S36,900
annually under this head alone.
This resolution, however, must be
approved by the Senate before it
can become effective, as the police
force of the Capitol is under the
Joint control of the two houses of
Congress.
But the other resolution deals
with House Jobs exclusively, and
undoubtedly will be passed and put
into effect at an early date. This
resolution effects a reduction Of jobs
, aggregating $92, ,2S0 annually. The
committee on organization of the
House has created new positions to
cost about $4,000 a year, so that
the net saving on House positions
will be $50, $50, and the total, in
Guiding the police force, $119,1SO.
