Members of the special committee, when

that the case was a perfectly clear one in

The bodies recovered were found buried
under the fallen roof. and the opinion
was expressed by some of the men that
all bodies that will be recovered later

KRUPP HEAD IS AROUSED
Herr Hugenberg Makes Light

German Officials.

ESSEN. Germany. April 2J.-The indig-
nation of Herr Hugenberg chairman of
the board of directors of krupp's gun and

by the great publicity given to the recent
disclosures in connection with the brib-
cry of officials of the German war office
by representative of the krupp firm in
order to obtain confirmation as to pend
ing military contracts.
In conversation with a reporter of the
Rhenish WeStphalian Gazette. a krupp
organ, Herr Hugenbers said the scale of
the alleged bribes given to war office en-
ployes and military underlings in Berlin
amounted to several ne-dollar. two-dol-

Director IluSenberg strongly protested
against the uproar over what he called

or his colleagues were such fools TO risk
their regulations and positions for such

He demanded to know whether krupps
interest in the integrity of German mill

FILE REPORT TOMORROW
IN G[0vER-S|MS CASE
Not Likely General Debate Will
Be Held for Several Days,
Is Belief Now.

1t became evident this afternoon that
the report of the House committee inves-
tigating the Glover Sims alteration in
Farragut Square few days ago would
simply be filed tomorrow at noon and that
a general debate on the report would not
perhaps be held for several days. Several
members of the special committee who
have gone deeply into the laws and prec-
edents of the case are deSirouS of px-
planning to the House just what steps
they took to arrive at their conclusion
1t is quite probable that the report will
contain recommendation to the effect
that Mr.. Glover be reprimanded for slap
ping Mr. Sims face. 1t is understood
also that the attention of the House will
be called 10 the letter written by Mr..
Glover in which an apology is made for
the breach of the peace. Many members
Of the House believe that Mr.. Glover has
saved himself much heavier punishment
simply because he wrote that letter.
One of the points discussed today was
whether or not Mr.. Sims was going to
or from his official duties member
Of Congress when the assault occurred.
Mr.. Sims had said that he was going to
the Post Office DEPARTING on official
business. One of the points which was
discussed concerned this visit the
post office. and the question was raised
whether the departmental duties of
member of Congress during a recess of
Congress could be construed SO that it
would come under the constitutional pro-
lection which is afforded To members Of
Congress The House was not in session
when Mr. Sims struck.
Discussion May Be Delayed.
Owing to the fact that the tariff bill
has the right of way just at present. it
is not known when the House will have
a chance to listen To the reading of
the report and TO the staiehent by the
members of the committee Although
the matter partakes of the highest priv
ilege there is scarcely any possibility that
the discussion will take place Immediate

In every case, it is stated. such persons

permit and endeavors to increase his in

missioner Johnston. Men of this char
acter are good for the citizenship" he
said. Il believe that they should be en-

Commissioner Johnston said that he be-
leved an investigation into the pension
system would clear up the situation and
be beneficial to every one concerned. The
Commissioners. he said. merely have en-
deavored to see that justice is done old
and tried employees of the District who
have been declared physically unqualified

Mr.. Moore sent to the clerk copy OF
queries which the clerk propounded to
him. and Mr.. Moore in his answers ram
the whole gamut of tariff legislation and
tariff dogma.
When was the first tariff act passed"
asked the clerk. The first act passed
