spects to the Secretary

J. Eads How, the millionaire hobo. So
called. came into town last night on a
flying trip. and today was jumping
here and there about the city in the
interests of his bill for bureau of
the unemployed. a sort of clearing
house for the unemployed of the coun-
try. where their names could be listed
and their transportation paid to vari-
Gus parts Of the country where it was
known they could find work.
He is stopping at the Central Union
Mission. and early this morning blew
into the office of Secretary Wilson of
the Department OF Labor, accompanied
by his secretary, Miss Cora Harvey
He showed his proposed resolution to
employees in Mr.. Wilson's Office. had the
Secretary's typewriter make him a few
extra copies. and after waiting awhile
saw the Secretary for one minute just
to pay his respects"
He then went to the Capitol, and straight
to the House committee on labor, where
he wanted q hearing on his proposition.
But efforts to get a quorum of the COM
mittee to consider another bill having
failed, of course there was no chance for
How. Not to be halted. however he
armed himself with list of the names of
the committee members, and went out in
search of them to get individual hearings.
He is scheduled to leave the city tomor-
row for Philadelphia, where he is to speak
that night.

which is to be presented to the commits
sion for consideration
1t is known that counsel have decided
to attack the rates on freight from points
which usually carried the free delivery

ground on which they can get the case
before the commission. The petition
which now is said to be under course of
preparation will be discussed at a meet
mine whether 1t adequately covers all
of the points involved.
The interstate commerce commission.
in its original decision, having declared
that the question of discrimination was
the only one on which the case could be
decided and the commission having sub
sequently refused to reconsider the ques-
ton as long as there was no discrimina-
ton. the attorneys in the case now feel
sure that the attack on the rates which
cry service was Withdrawn is the only
opening which offers them any prospect
whatever of success. While 1t is known
that counsel are today engaged In pre-
pairing the petition to the commission
nothing at all could be learned Of its
after the rates involved. This will be
made public, 1t was declared. when the
matter is formally presented to the in

Senator Weeks said that he would
speak to his resolution today IL he could
get recognition. II is considered likely
that the resolution will be referred TO
the banking and currency committee by
the Senate. II IL is not tabled and AL
lowed to die in committee.
However. there is little likelihood OF
hurried action on the currency bill In
the Senate. and il looks very much as
though many senators would get their
vacation as soon the tariff bill has
been voted upon in spite of any efforts
that may be made by the President to
keep them on the job. The Senate COM
mittee on banking and currency, IL Is
believed. Will have the currency bill be-
fore Ii for many weeks. and the Senate
having disposed of the tariff bill will
mark time until the currency measure
is reported, adjourning over every three
days.
The banking interests OF the country
have served notice Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo that the administra-
ton currency bill as IL will be reported
to the House is not satisfactory, and that
some change must be made in II IL il is
to be acceptable. President Wilson. on
