Although everything looks peace
full now. there is an undercurrent Of
vicious feeling aaginst the police and
expect to see an attack on the mill
tia by the mob tonight. My deputies
report that a number of desperate
characters in Davenport, Moline and
Rock Island are today carrying around
the word that they will run the militia
into the Mississippi river tonight. This
feeling, in my opinion, will get strong
er as the day goes on"
Last nights rioting continued prac-
tically unchecked for three hours.
The police said there were more than
s, 1000 persons in the mob which surg

CONCLUSIONS ARE UNTENABLE
INFORMATION AFFORDED IS NOT
TRUSTWORTHY ACCORDING
TO UNDERWOOD.
WANTS IMMEDIATE REVISION
ASSERTS THE AMERICAN PEo-
PIE "HAvE BEEN THRILLED
WITH TOO LONG,

Washington, March 27.-That the
tariff board in its report to congress
on the wool schedule proceeded upon
an entirely erroneous theory and that
its report was "untenable" is the con
clusion Of the democratic members
of the ways and means committee of
the house as set forth in a report
prepared by Representative Under
wood. chairman of the committee. in
connection with the re-introduction of
the wool bill placing a 20 per cent
advalorem duty on raw wool.
This bill, which after slight revi
sion in conference last summer, was
vetoed by President Taft. who gave
I. then &c his pzincipal reason for exer-
else OF the veto power that the tariff
board had made no report ON the
subject. Last December the board
reported and the democratic mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee, after an analysis of this report.
reintroduced the old bill claiming that
there was nothing in that report to
justify such change.
Summarizing the conclusion Of the
committee. Chairman Underwood
says:
"A careful and painstaking analysis
of the wool report of the tariff board
dictates conclusions as follows:
THE theory OF applying tariff dut-
les according to the difference in the
cost of production in this and in for
eign countries, upon which the board
has projected and prepared it's report.
is entirely erroneous and untenable.
Furthermore, if this theory could
have been Systematically and careful.
ly applied, it would not have afford
ed trustworthy results for guidance
in preparing tariff legislation.
"The boards report is fragmentary
and incomplete, and rests on an in
correct statistical basis. Hence it
has no claims to confidence for the
results set forth therein, even should
the reliability of the theory of the
cost of production be conceded.
Those persons VINO are willing
to overlook the lack of theoretical
soundness and Of statistical accuracy,
will find the data of the report too
fragmentarv and incomplete to admit
of conclusions with reference to rates

from May 1. 1911. to September II,
1912.
There were 799 motor wagons Of all
ratings in Chicago on May /, 1911.
On September II, 1912, this number
had expanded to 2094, showing an in
crease of 1895 machines in commercial
service. This is a gain OF 1921 percent
IN 16I2 months, or a yearly increase Of
117.4 percent
The investment in motor wagons
made by Chicago merchants during this
period of 1914 months is no less than
S3,25O,O00 or at the rate of about
100000 a month, or $1,000 a day In
round figures, Chicago is buying three
power wagons a day at the present
time and the demand is rising steadily.
The demand for the heavier load
ratings Of power wagons may prove
surprising to those who imagine that
the light delivery wagon is outstripping
the heavier machines in the popularity
race. Of the 2O94 motor wagons in
service in Chicago on September H.,
last. there were SSl machines rated at
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-12

over one ton load capacity. The bal
ance of 1913 were of one ton or less
load rating.
On Nay I. 1911. there were 436 ma
chimes rated at one ton or less. On
September It. 1912. there were 1918
machines in this class. The increase
in 1615 months is 1852 percent, which
works out to 129 percent per Snnum.
Commenting on these statistics, the
Power Wagon. of Chicago, says IF
the traffic lost by the horse wagons is
assumed to have been gained by the
motor trucks. this would indicate that
one machine has replaced a fraction
over IL horse wagons On the face Of
il, however. this seems too high by 100
percent or more. The presumption is
that the owners of the horse wagons
have been forced by the competition
Of the machines to get more work out
of their beasts than they did in the
old days Which augurs bad for the
poor old horse. for the harder one
works him the less able he is to stand
the pace

MISSIONARY ASKS
AUTO DONATION

Since the inception OF the motor. car
industry. the leading manufacturers
have been besieged daily with all man
ner Of requests to donate cars to va
riOus organizations and for divers
causes It seems to be the consensus
Of opinion among churches, benevolent
societies and other orders that all mo-
tor car concerns are rolling in wealth
and that they viii secure a car just for
the asking.
Many OF these requests are filled
with human interest. as is evidenced by
the following appeal from a mission
airy in South Lynchhurg, S. c., to a well
known automobile factory
AS you are having such fine sale for
your cars and you are selling so many
OF them surely by this time you can
afford to give a poor broken down
missionary one as we are told in the
bible in proverbs third chapter and
ninth and tenth vurses to honour the
Lord with thy substance and with the
first fruits OF all thine increase. So
shall thy barns be filled with plenty
and thy presses shall burst out with
wine, also we read again in the third
chapter of Malachi God tells us TO
bring all the tithes and offerings and
he would open the windows Of heaven
and poor US a blessing that we would
not have room enough 10 receive it
Yours to help save a lost world"
