A nonpartisan inquiry into the affairs
Of the so-called money trust is about TO

on Banking and Currency in harmony
with the Underwood resolution adopted at
the Democratic caucus Wednesday night.
The committee will proceed with a view
to reporting remedial legislation IL IL
finds that any person or persons or any
group of finanCiers control the money
supply OF the country. as has been
charged by Bryan Democrats and Repub-
licsn insurgents. The pressure Of legis-
lation in the House and the determina-
tion OF the leaders to adjourn Congress
early la June in order that members
may prepare for the national campaigns

power TO ascertain whether there is a

SAYS INHERITANCE
TAX is NECESSARY
Representative Miller Urges Bill
to Prevent "Tax Dodgers
Invading District.

To prevent the District from becomlne
''the home of tax dodgers" Representa-
tive Miller, Of Minnesota, has prepared
bill providing an inheritance tax for
the city. Representative Miller Will argue
in behalf OF his measure before the
House District Committee at its meeting
this morning.
Representative Miller declares thai
Washington is the only place IN the coun-
try where no Inheritance tax is provided.
and in consequence Il is becoming the
haven Of wealthy men who claim the
District as their legal residence in order
to escape payment OF such a tax in other
places. In order to prevent the law from
working a hardship on the less wealthy
people Of the community. exemption up
TO 5000 is ordered for collateral heirs,
and $1,000 for direct or lineal heirs
The rate on all inheritances to col
lateral heirs above 5000 is placed at
per cent The rates on inheritances to
lineal descendants are as follows: On be-
quests of from $4,000 to $4,000, IL per
cent; $4,000 to S75,000, per cent; $751;
TO $4,000. 2k per cent: $4,000 to $50, 900,
per cent; S150.o0O to $4,000. per cent,
and on all bequests above 100000 a nat
rate OF per cent.
Washington Is the only city in the
country, says Representative Miller,
where no tax is paid on stocks and bonds,
and this. IL is alleged. is another reason
for wealthy men claiming the District
as their legal residence.
The bill Is said to be opposed by the
District Commissioners.

PROVIDES FOR THE
SAFETY OF HORSES
Bill Introduced in House Would
Prevent Stabling of Animals
on ANY but First Floor.

Moved by the heavy loss Of life among
horses and mules in stable conhagra-
tions in this city within the last few
months, Representative Steven B. Ayres,
Of New York. yesterday introduced a bill
in the House prohibiting the keeping OF
these animals on any other than the
ground floor.
Representative Ayres was Influenced BY
humane reasons in introducing the bill
and has appealed to the various organ.
izations OF women for their support In
urging the passage OF the measure. The
bill was referred to the Committee or
the District Of Columbia II will be re-
ferred to the District Commissioners for
their comment. Upon its return TO the
committee II Will be given over to a
subcommittee for their consideration and
report. The subcommittee will hold hear
ings II requests TO This end are made.
Commenting on his bill, Representative
Ayres said:
The recent very unfortunate fires in
the District of Columbia where horses
were stabbed on the second floor OF the
buildings, and which resulted in the
burning Of several Of them. was the
occasion for the introduction Of this bill
and one OF the very best arguments for
its enactment ] think We all feel that
humanity toward the dumb beasts In our
charge demands that We should Awe
them the very best care and attention
possible. II is also the very best busI-
ness policy, because IL certainly is bad

possessions where they are insecure The
argument for stabling horses only on the
ground floor where they can readily be
removed from danger in case OF Are, Is

reasons-humanity and business pru-
dence.
1T is my earnest hope that the women
Of the District OF Columbia and their
organizations will support this bill and
insist upon its enactment into law"

MANN AS A HUMoRIsT.
Minority Leader Creates Diversion
on Floor of House.

on FlOOr OF HOUSE.
Representative Mann. the minority
leader, amused the Republicans and an
noyed the Democrats OF the House yes
terday when he jokingly referred TO the
row in the Democratic ranks over the
money trust investigation. Mann read a
newspaper interview in which Represent
ative Henry said that he had been ap-
preached by some emisSary of the Under
wood faction loking toward a compromise.
II want TO read the definition OF the
word emissary." said Mann. He then
read from Webster's dictionary 10 the
effect that an emissary is "one sent out
by any power that is at war with an
other TO create dissatisfaction with the
people of the latter"
1T seems that the gentleman from Ala
bama must have sent not only one ennis
sary- but many emissaries," said Mann.
with satirical effect. There is no doubt
that a lot OF dissatisfaction was created. :"
The Republicans applauded Mann while
the Democrats only smiled in slckly
fashion.
