BRYAN IS NOT
ENTHUSIASTIC
DOES NOT THINK INVESTIGATION
OF THE MONEY TRUST WILL
AMOUNT TO MUCH.

Washington, Feb. S.-Representative
Pujo of Louisiana, chairman of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency, to which the democratic eau
Gus last night referred the proposed
investigation of the money trust, said
today he would introduce a resolution
to vest his committee with plenary
powers to learn If there is a money
trust" in the United States.
The banking and currency commit
tee win meet next Wednesday to plar
the inquiry. Mr.. Pujo today charac
terized the Henry resolution as revo
lutionary and as questioning the
legislative integrity of the house.
Chairman Henry of the rules com
mittee who lost the fight of the Bryan
democrats for special committee OF
seven members to conduct the in
quiry, said it had been the sense Of
the caucus to refer to the judiciary
committee, certain features of the in
vestigation, and that he would urge
such plan.

The commoner's Views.

San Benito, Texas, Feb. ST fear
the investigation will prove a farce.
If the banking committee begins at
once and makes prompt and thor
ough investigation shall be both sur
prised and delightees
So declared William ]. Bryan today
in commenting on the result OF last
nights democratic caucus over the
proposed investigation of the so-callec
money trust.
sMisled by Wall street." ''undel
the control of the predatory inter
ests," and democrats whose sympa
thies are with the money trust" were
some of the terms used by Mr.. Bryan
in his statement, which ends witt
praise for R. L. Henry OF Texas, tn
house member whose proposal to in
vestigate the money trust by spe
cial committee was voted down b.
last nights caucus. Mr.. Bryan
statement says in Pare:
'Tt is the misfortune OF the part
tn have some members who can b
misled by Wall street and it is
still greater misfortune to have som
members who are as completely III
der the control of the predatory inte
ests as any of the republicans. Th
money trust did not want any inve
tigation at all. When it could ne
prevent an investigation it sought
secure an investigation by the ban
ing committee, which contains SON
democrats whose sympathies al
with the money trust. I fear the
vestigation will prove farce"

pIscovEREp!l!

The mystery of the Y. M. C. A. has
been solved and the lost lost cue
ball is again in the hands Of the asso.
citation. Some sly youth returned the
ball last night with the tale that he
had found it on the High School
grounds near the pump. AS WAS
promised, his name was not given out
by the Y. M. C. A. officials. Though
dirty and bearing marks of a ball
game or some other battle the ball
is still round and the use it was put
to today showed that it was as good
as ever. Up to the time the ball was
returned the police and association
officials had not even as much as
found the first clew that would lead
to it's recovery.

Washington, Feb. S.-Charles NJ.
Schwab of Bethlehem, Pa, told the
senate finance committee today the
Underwood bill rates on larger steel
products would be of most serious
consequence to the steel business IN
the eastern states, and undertook to
make plain his own atutude.
"On many occasions have said
that within equal conditions, steel
could be made as cheaply in the Unit
ed States as in any other country, "
said Mr.. Schwab. "This has been con-
strued into a statement that steel is
made as cheaply here as elsewhere.
That l have not said and | do not

with the same conditions, espe-
cially with labor as cheap, We ask no
protection but the labor account
weighs heavily against us. Though
we are only one hundred miles from
New York it costs as much to put our
steel there as it does to bring it
from Holland.

necessary to prosperity of the steel
business. Most emphatically I am op
posed to any reduction"

Sutter Creek Calf, Feb. S.-One

of the incline shaft. Another possih'

HARBOR DREDGE
WORK Meeting
some SET.BACKS

The Standard American Dredging
60. Is meeting with difficulties in the
dredging of the Honolulu harbor chan
mel, which was commenced short
time ago. There Is no new dredging
to be done. and the big turbine has
no trouble ut all in pumping out the
denomination of mud and silt. but the
difficulties to date have been in the
disposition Of the removed material.
Lcvccs have been built on the Fort
Armstrong reservation, and the pipe
line laid there in order to build up the
site from which sand was recently
taken for Fort DE Russy. The lcvccs
have been resting ON an insecure roun-
dation Of sand, and when wet mud ana
oozc have been pumped into them, they
have in several instances given way
and caused annoying delays in the
dredging operations When this | ow
land Is filed, however, and the pipes
turned to the far side of the rcscrva-
tion. this difficulty should be overcome
II Is believed that the work of clean
ing out the harbOr will be completed
carly in March.

LOOPHOLE in new
UNIFORM Order

At last a lOOphole has been found
in the new uniform regulations for the
Army which will permit officers of the
local commands to wriggle out of what
looked like tight corner.
when an abstract OF the new regu.
lations was first printed in the Army
and Navy journal, it appeared that
officers would never be allowed ia
wear the service uniform off post. Lit
orally construed, this meant that con-
structing quar;ermasters labOrint over
the practical problems of house-build-
ing, engineer officers splashing round
the harbor on improvement work, and
officers on staff duty at headquarters
would all have to wear the white dress
uniform.
A careful study of the table of oc-
caslons" located warm weather
clause which will probably leave con-
li,ions here as they now are.
Here is the paragraph anent the SER
vice olive drab which caused all the
pilikia:

that when riding or taking physical

So the vital question is settled. ant
Quartcrmasters who play with con
