Tariff Board Plans To
Tackle Steel Next

The next Investigations Of the tariff
board will be into the steel, iron, and

cations will be of much importance,
they will be easy as compared with me
cotton and wool Investigations which
are now being carried on. The wool
inquiry is one of the utmost difficulty.
The board will continue in existence
until July l next, even if there is no
more money allowed it by a Democratic
House. The probabilities are, however,
that it will continue longer. In spite
Of the threat of Speaker Champ Clark
to cut off the supplies of the board,
there is good reason to believe the
House Committee on Appropriation is
not going to do 1t. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the board will have to take
its reports directly to Congress instead
of to the President If it is retained.
The board is making rapid progress,
and the field work in the investigation
into raw wool has been practically fin
ished. Data is now beng tabulated on
the cost of production of raw wool.

schedules of every train (freighO leaving

With one grand flourish, the conven-
ton came to a sudden end last night
with an entertainment in the parish
hall of the fashionable Church Of the
Ascension. Immediately after the last
number on the program had been given,
the ''boes" began to make preparations
for beating it, from the city, and with
in half an hour a score of them had
comfortably located themselves in as
many box cars as could be found in the
Potomac yards.

Sore on Capital.
The delegates from the tin can army
were not impressed with Washington
as a convention city. They did not hesi-
tate to say so last night, just before
shaking the dust of the Capital from
their feet.

during the convention. they said, were

quantities to satisfy the hunger gained

The entertainment last night long will
be remembered by the 200 or more per-
cons who purchased tickets for the per-
Torrance, and made brief visits to the
place. 1t was an entertainment, pure
and simple, and the hoboes themselves
declared that they did not see how
such a performance could be given for
the money required for admission.

Hall Filled.
The Parish Hall was filled for the
entertainment. A slight mixup in the
plans prevented Miss Emma Carus,
now at one of the Washington the
aters, from appearing. Mr.. How and
Miss Harvey were undismayed at Miss
Carus' absence, however, and en-
deavored to fill in the gap themselves.
The Rev. J. Henning helms, rector
of the Church of the Ascension, well
coined the delegates to the hall, and
explained that because he had not
been notified of the objects of the
meeting, he had not made prepara-
lions for the visitors. The audience
was required to stand, or else seat
themselves upon the bare floors
The proceeds from the entertain |
ment will be used in establishing an |
