KINDERGARTEN TO OPEN
Rooms Secured at Northeast Corner

The managers of the Alexandra
Kindergarten have secured quarters
for the school and will reopen the
same at the northeast corner of King
and Washington streets on the hrst
proximo. This will prove gratifying
news to the parents of children VINO

ten which it was feared would be
suspended after the City School
Board announced that it would b;
impossible to accommodate the
schoo! in the Lee Building this year.
The managers began Immediately to
look for cthe quarters, and while
some places were found which could
be procured, they were, in the NAN
unsuitable for the purposes of the
association.
The quarters 1.-TWO large rooms),
which have been secured can be uti-
lized satisfactorily, and all persons
interested in education will rejoice
to know that the good work of the
people engaged in this adjunct to
youthful training is to be continued.
The kindergarten is supported by
private contributions, anG the money
is judiciously expended by careful
persons who are at the head of the
institution. Their funds are at
present at low ebb, and while APP
precating the help heretofore given
by the good people of Alexandria,
additional aid is needed in order to
start up the school on substantial
oasis. A contribution of $40 has been
received and other favors will be
thankfully acknowledged.

had been in the city, according to the
testimony of the officers and others
about two weeks "holding up" people
in the streets after having had suffic-
lent warning of the fact that he was
liable to be "vagged." He was
brought into the Police Court and
sent to the roais for ninety days.
Officers Young and Bell yesterday
took charge Of a man who gave his
name as Charles Flowers, who, it was
alleged, was soliciting money. He
was arraigned before the Police Court
this morning when he stated that he
was from Basic City and if allowed
but ten minutes he would shake the
dust of the city from his feet. He
was allowed to depart with the un-
!derstanding that if caught in Alex
anudria half an hour later he would
be sent to the roads for ninety days.
He had been here but a day or two.
Towards the close of every year
this city is infested with tramps,
most of whom are drunkards, WHO af-
ter passing the night in the station

by, wait until men leave their homes
when they invade houses in search of
something to eat and then start out
on the streets begging for money
with which to purchase whisky.
In by-gone years some of this class
have been known to commit misde-
meanors in order that the city might
feed them in Jail and house them
during the inclement weather. On
one occasion a robust man who gave
his name as David 3. Hill, was Sent
to Jail for twenty days on some mi
nor charge. A few days before his
term expired he made a wanton as
sault upon fellow prisoner in order
to have his term extended until the
winter was over.

To protect profits. says the commit

This Is clearly illustrated the re-
port continues. in a comparison of the
wool and iron and steel industry. Wool
has had a specific duty which, when
worked out to an ad valorem basis,
amounts to a tax of nearly 80 per cent
of the average value of all woolen goods
imported into the United States, and
the duties imposed have remained prac-
tically unchanged for forty years. Dur
ing that time the wool industry has
made comparatively little progress in
cheapening the cost of this product and
improving it's business methods. On the
other hand. in the iron and steel in
dustry the tariff rate has been cut every
time a tariff bill has been written. And
yet the iron and steel industry has not
languished."

NIGHT SESSIONS OF
HOUSE ARE ORDERED
Underwood Acts on Hint From
Wilson, to Hurry Passage Of
Tariff Measure.

Day and night sessions of the House,
beginning tomorrow night. were ordered
today by Majority Leader Underwood
to expedite passage through the House
of the Wilson, Underwood bill. 1t was
reported today that President Wilson
had deftly hinted to the Capitol leaders
that night sessions would be in order to
show the country an earnest desire to
make the tariff revision effective at the
earliest possible date.
The decision to hold night sessions
was considered by the House Ways and
Means Committee today when it favor
ably reported the Wilson, Underwood bill
by a straight party vote. The seven
Republicans opposed the fourteen Demo-
Gratis in the formal vote upon the bill.
Representative Underwood stated to-
day that general debate in the House
upon the bill will begin tomorrow and
continue every day and every night. IL

though there has been considerable
speculation whether Senator Walsh OF
Montana would not fight to the last

Few Democratic Senators have the
nerve to vote against the bill to the

In the light of the experience Of

confident belief that as soon as this tax
and its administrative machinery be-
come fairly understood by the people
and adjusted by the country. its opera

general satisfaction as any tax law. \
personal knowledge of the amount or
taxes required of the people would more
closely enlist their interest and active
cooperation in all the affairs OF Gov
ernment. and especially with respect to
revenues and expenditures. The adop-
ton of the proposed tax, therefore,
would assist in arousing and sustaining
general public interest in behalf OF
economy at all times"

Dingley tariff law went into effect and
