TARIFF BOARD FIGHT
& OPENED IN HOUSE
Sundry Civil Bill Taken
Up for Con-
Sideration.

Declining to suspend the rules, which
would have required the passage of the
bill without amendment and practically
without debate, the House this after
noon began consideration of the sundry
civil bill, and the expected fight mate
rialized over the first item, which ap-
propriates 100000 for continuing work OF
the Tariff Board.
Representative Tawney, chairman OF
the Appropriations Committee, endeav-
ored to rush the bill, which carries $40,
100000 through the House under sus-
pension of the rules. Mr.. Tawneys plan
contemplated shutting off debate and
amendment on all but six items.
Immediate Democratic opposition de
veloped. Representatives Fitzgerald
and SherIey, declaring that 1t was an
propriate $l40,0O0,00 under a suspension
of the rules and within a couple of
hours time. On the Tawney motion
the ayes were 137 and the nays los. In
as much as 1t required a twO-thirds vote
to enforce the gag rule the Tewney plan
lost, and the bill was taken up in the
ordinary way.
Representative Fitzgerald made n
point OF order against the appropriation
for the tariff board. contending that
the House had no right TO appropriate
for a two-year continuation of such a
board The point of order was over
ruled. and Mr.. Fitzgerald then began
a fight to reduce the appropria ton
from 100000 to $780, 900.
Another hard fought contest is look
ed for this afternoon, when the section
appropriating So, 70O,OO to begin the for
tifcation of the Panama canal is reach
ed. Mr.. Tawney himself is opposed to
cure naturalization instead

HOLD VERY FIRMLY
No Changes In Prices,
Light Business Transacted
At Former Figures.

On the local Stock Exchange matters
moved along serenely without the slight
est regard to the furore in New York.
There were few price changes, and just
about as many were in the direction of
slight gains as of slight losses; in fact,
the price movement was unimportant.

large, either in stocks or bonds, but
both were held strongly from start 10

Lorimer Friends
Try to Force Vote

Alarmed by the disposition Of Lorimer
! Senators to delay the vote. the friends
OF the Senator from Illinois are ex-
pected to make an effort this afternoon
to get this matter made the unfinished
business, thus displacing the direct cleo
ton of Senators.
Friends of Lorimer are worried lest a
vote be prevented at this session. and
lest the opponents have greater strength
in the next Congress.
When Senator Beveridge started his
speech this afternoon on the LOrimer
case Senators Burrows and Hepburn
made ineffectuaI attempts to get the
OF trying either to get an agreement for
vote or to get the Lorimer case made
the unfinished business.
After some parliamentary wranglinS
Senator Beveridge held the floor, and
proceeded with his argument. which
he did not conclude yesterday.
He went ahead with a further review
of the testimony. He called attention
10 the fact that Shepherd, of the Illt-
nois Legislature, had ben preOmised
that an enemy of his would be set up
from appointment as postmaster at JeT-
SEVILLE in case he voted for Dorimer.
Senator Beveridge COntended this was
bribe, just as much as an offer of
money.
Senator Bailey insisted it was not a
bribe Senator Owen read from the law
of the State of Illinois to show that
under that law there was no question
that any ffoer or promise of a con-
sideration of any kind was a bTibe.
Senator Beveridge is expected to con-
Clude his address about the middle of
the afternoon. Other speakers, includ-
ing Galltnger. Stone and La Toilette,
expect then to speak on the case.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, according
to reports about the Senate today. has
yielded to strong pressude from friends

mo More Evil in Dance
Hall Than in Ball Room

NEW YORK. Feb. 24-''There is no
more vice in an East Side dance hall
than in West Side ball room. You'll
find plenty of uncouth fun in the aver
age dance hall and some rough talk.
perhaps, but it's as innocent as a Fifth
avenue function. The daughters of the
poor are stronger morally than those Of
the rich, because they have greater
temptations to resist
+. '. 5. Oliver. jr, chief of the city
Incense bureau, expressed these views
today as he was getting ready to adj
dress meeting of the Woman's
Municipal League. The league has un-
dertaken to send inspectors from its
own ranks to dance halls to see that the
new law against liquor selling Is en-
forced.
Oliver SAYS the women can be of great
assistance but that the muckrakers
have made the dance hall out much
worse than ii is.

London Sets Race-Ldtle Recovery In the List
SERIOUS SLUMP IN SECURITIES WITH
GENERAL DECLINES OF TWO
TO SEVEN POINTS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-London told
the story of what might be expected
when the stock exchange opened for
business this morning, and the tale OF
enormous selling and declines of 2 to
points on the London market was re-
Peated on the opening here, with enor-
nous selling and an irregular opening
mat was, in a way, chaotic
Evidently the avalanche of selling
orders were cabled to London after the
purpOrt OF the Interstate Commerce
commissions report in the matter of
freight advances had been made public,
Tor 1t was matter of common knowI-
ridge in financial circles long before the
close of the business day.
Brokers handling foreign orders
rtalmed that they could figure I'D orders
for more than 100000 shares for execu-
lion on the opening in London, being by
Tar the heaviest selling in all previous
records.
The scHing was too much for old Lon
uon. and many commissions were re-
turned uneNeCuted.
Stampede at Opening.
Immediately on the tap of the OMEN
ing bell on the exchange there was a
stampede on the part of brokers to
throw over their customers and their
own long stock, on the theory that the
break in London would be influential in
causing a still further smash on this
side. They were somewhat disap-
pointed, because as a rule the low
prices were almost of a parity with
London.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
mas made no decision. 1t has expressed
q drastic opinion, where a compromise
decision was expected. II has closed
the way for an appeal to the Commerce
Court, unless the railroads, by failure
10 restore the rates in vogue before fill
ing their higher schedules, make it
an order, thereby making a ruling
from which the roads OF the country
may enter an appeal.
II has seemed all along to Conserva-
tive operators that the market was go
ing into The period when decisions were
trust matters, with entirely too much
confidence in their position. Because of
IhiS feeling. traders have not been
carrying open trades in anything like
their usual amounts from day to day,
but have been evening up day by day
For this reason there was less liquida-
lion this morning than might have been
expected.
Expect Trust Decisions Soon.
Moreover, the trust decisions, prac-
tically of more Importance than the |
rate advances, will be forthcoming
within a few weeks at the longest |
and may be expected almost any Mon |
day. and wise traders have made it |
a practice to get out of the market
toward the end of the week, staying
