Board of Trade Committee
Hears Plea of Two Hospitals

| Arguments for and against the con-
tinuance of government appropriations
to aid in the maintenance of Columbia
Hospital and the Emergency Hospital
were offered at hearing before the
Charities and corrections committee OF
the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon.
The board Of charities, which is opposing
government aid to these hospitals, and
recommending that a municipal hospital
be erected to do all the charity work for
which the government pays. submitted its
annual report, dealing with the matter,
which has already been published. John
Joy Edison, in letter to the committee,
explained, that as he was a member of the
board of charities and also of the COM
mittee on charities and corrections r OF
the Board Of Trade he felt he should
take no part in the proceedings, At his
request, the committee excused him from
appearing.
| Board Members Heard.
| Members of the board of lady visitors
| Of the Columbia Hospital were heard
| first, including Mrs. Henry P. Fitch,
president; Mrs. Charles H. Poor, vice
president, and Mrs. ]. W. MacMurray,
secretary. Mrs. Fitch told the committee
| that women throughout the city. rich
/, and poor alike, had raised their voices
in protest against the withdrawal of
government support from the Columbia
Hospital. She explained that the hospi-
tai could not continue to be operated if
the government appropriation was dis
| continued. She argued also for an ap-
preparation for new building for the
institution.
r. r. MacMahon, president ofs the
board of directors of the hospital; Dr. J..
o. Skinner, Superintendent of the hospi-
tai; Nathaniel Wilson, former president
of the board of trustees; DR.. /. 8. Stone
and Col. Myron M. Parker spoke for
Columbia Hospital. They argued that a
separate woman's hospital was absolute
ly necessary for the city, and that the
present plan by which the government
paid the expense of treating the indi-
gent poor in the Columbia Hospital was
more economical than would be the erec-
| these patients Col Parker assailed the
board of charities. declaring that it was
doing it's best to kill all private charities
in the District.
Argue for Emergency Hospital.
DR.. William P. Carr acting president
Of the Emergency Hospital; William F.
Downey and Thomas w. Smith spoke
| in favor of an appropriation of 100000
| by the government to aid the Emergency
Hospital in erecting new building,
since it must soon give up it's present
| quarters. They argued that an emer-
gency hospital, SO arranged as to give
the best care in emergelcy cases, was
needed in Washington. They declared
that it was not possible for a municipal
! hospital. located four miles outside sthe
city, as is proposed by the board sof
, charities, to do the emergency work Of
the city, even with the proposed first aid
stations in various parts of the city.
The committee will make a report on
the hospital question to the Board of
Trade, probably at a meeting the last
part of this month.

Taft headquarters are still being carried

the enactment into law of the so-called

ure which pretended to have the interests
of the people at heart. Upon his rec
ommendation and that of Charles W.

ADDS OVER $3,O0O,000
TO ANNUAL REVENUES
Claim of Democrats Respecting Pro-
posed Revision of Chemical
Schedule of Tariff Bill.

A democratic caucus called to meet at
4 o'clock this afternoon is expected to
approve, without change. the bill revis-
ing the chemical schedule Of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, the provisions OF
which were made public yesterday. In
that event the bill will be introduced to-
morrow afternoon by Chairman Under
wood of the ways and means committee,
fayorably reported Friday and taken up
either Saturday of this week or early
next week for passage by the House.
Owing to the pressure of appropriation
business, it is not expected Mr.. Under
wood will permit the bill to be in action
for more than two days
The chemical revision bill is expected
to swell the government revenues by
S.. $50 $40 a year.
Sums Up Changes.
Democratic Leader Underwood summed
up the changes proposed by the bill as
follows.
There is a general reduction In the
duties on chemical products, but an in
crease in revenue. We have taken arti-
cles now on the free list and made them
share taxation for revenue purposes only.
1.-The articles transferred to the free
list amounted in imports in 1911 to 1888, :
6I3, and produced revenue of $3S,691. The
articles taken from the free list and
made dutiable amounted in imports in
1911 to 81, 667 600.
1.-The result to the chemical schedule is
an estimated increase in imports for the
first year Of 500. $4,000. compared with
S4S S69, 600 in 1911. The estimated duties
under the new bill would amount to $16.-
1O1 900, as compared with $12.5IO.Oo0 un-
der the Payne act Of 1911. There is an
average decrease of 31k per cent ad va
loren, the equivalent ad valorem doty
I'm 1911 being 25.72, compared with 1854
for the first year Of operation Of the new
bill"
