PhilanthrOpists to Aid
Finch in Investigating
Condition

washington, January 12.-Stanley O
Finch. who has been in charge of in
lvestigations instituted by the depart
ment of justice in enforcing the white
slave law, now is In communication
with a group of philanthopists formu-
llating plans for a national movement
to reclaim victims of the traffic. Mr.
Finch has just returned from New
York. where he consulted some of the
leaders in the proposed philanthropy and
although he declined to discuss the de-
tails of the plan he said no embar-
|rassment for funds was expected. 1t Is
understood John d. Rockefeller, Jr., is
one of the principal financial support
|ers of the undertaking.
While men who are convicted under
the law get inadequate punishment the
problem of caring for their victims
has from the first been the hardest with
which to cope 1t is therefore the pres
ent plan to expend the income from a
large permanent fund which may
amount to several millions, in main
|taining rescue homes in which girls
who are reclaimed from the underworld
may be given care and instruction
pending such time as may be necessary
for them to get new start in life. Ar
effort then will be made to find hon.
orable employment for them and d
|paternal interest will be taken in theii
subsequent career.
While there are some of these homes
already in operation 1T is realized that
there are not nearly as many as are
needed. This fact has been brought
home to social workers in recent times
during wars upon restricted districts
lin many of the cities throughout the
country. With no place to seek shelter

STILL BEATING AGAINST THE BAR

The annual report of the New York
Life Insurance company for the year
1912 shows that. in the matter of new
business, it is still beating against the
barriers which limit the new business
of life companies. The amended law
of 1910 made this limit an elastic
one, to be determined by the amount
Of business done ip previous years
and the economy with which 1t was
done. Under this rule the New York
Life pushed up its limit from $780,
900. 900 in 1909 to nearly $199.000,000 in
1912. and wrote 1t all. During Oc-
1t was obliged to send out policies de-
liverable in 1918. Its limit in 1913
will be about $222. 100000 1t is prov
ing every year that great business

Chicago, January 12.-Adverse decision
by the Secretary of War on the joint re-

sanitary district for an increased water
flow from Lake Michigan through the

forts had been made to delay the de-
cision until after the Inauguration of
President Wilson. Trustees of the sani-

decision by Secretary Stimson will not be
accepted as final, but that the fight for
more water will be carried to the Uni

CASTRO HOPESFOR
DECISION TODAY
Believes immigration Board
Will Settle the Question.
Spent Restless Day

New York, January 12.-cipriano Castro,
former president of Venezuela, is look
ing forward to tomorrow in the hope
that it will bring a decision of the ip,mi-
grafton authorities as to whether ne will
be permitted to enter the country or be
debarred as an undesirable alien. His
case Is scheduled to be taken up tomor-
row by the immigration board.
General Castro spent restless Sunday
on Ellis island. The only visitor of The
sstormy petrel'' of South America was his
valet, Alfred Torregrossa, who came over
with Castro and has been permitted to
land. Torregrossa remained all day at the
immigration station with Castro. The
general has been detained at Ellis Island
since his arrival early last week from
France and yesterday writ of habeas
corpus sued out to bring his case before
a federal court was dismissed by United
States Judge Holt.

HEARINGS ON METAL
TARIFF SCHEDULE
SET FOR TUESDAY
Close Examination of Alu-
minum Company and
Waltham Watch Com
pany is Planned

| Washington January 12.-Democrdtlc
members of the House committee ON ways
and means are planning to examine close
| " into the affairs of the Aluminium Com
pany of America and the waltham Watch
company, when their representatives tes-
| tifv at an adjourned hearing on the
| metal tariff schedule next Tuesday. Both
companies have been charged with being
trusts.
| Both companies were represented here
Friday and Saturday, but were not
reached before the adjournment at mid
night last night. Tomorrow VIII be de-
voted by the committee to tariff sched-
ules-"D' covering wool and its manu-
factures, and IL silks and silk goods.
Neither OF these schedules was affected
by any domestic revision attempted at the
lasr session of Congress.
Companies Well Represented
John p. Bartlett of New York, repre-
senting clients interested in the aluminium
duty, has filed with the committee a brief
alleging that the aluminium Industry Is
| in the hands of the one concern, the
Aluminium Company of America, control-
ling substantially all the sources OF alum
mum in the country.
The brief also sets forth that the
company was sued in federal antitrust
proceedings, and that while it suffered a
decree to run against 1t, conditions are
in commercial practice about the same.
Arthur w. Davis of Pittsburg, repre-
senting the Aluminium company has been
urged by the committee to appear Tues
day.
+. C. Fitch of Waltham is expected to
represent the watch concern. The Amer
ican Watch Manufactures want specific
duty basis instead of the domestic plan of
30 per cent advalorem on watch move
ments They claim the foreign manufac-
turer has an enormous advantage, and
that "the American watch industry is de-
pressed"
So far the hearings on chemical and iron
and steel have not led to any indication
of any material change in the domestic
tariff position as framed at the last ses-
sion of Congress. There will be some
minor changes in classification with some
items taken out of group "F'' and put
into so-called basket clauses" that take
care of otherwise unprovded for items
at q changed rate.
Dumping Clause" Considered
There has been some suggestion of
dumping clause" to prevent the sale of
any goods imported into this country at
a price much lower than the selling price
at home. Canada. France and some other
countries have some such arrangement,
but the committee has not formally con-
sidered it.
Testimony in behalf of the machine tool
manufacturers industry has been to the
effect that the manufacturers here feared
the effect of dumping clause would be
scme foreign retaliation in the way of
ADDED tariffs and bad feeling, and pos
sible lacking up of the whole German
tariff system against American goods
This was in response to the committees
questioning as to the effect of coupling a
Is per cent reduction on machine tools
with the insertion of dumping clause in
the metal schedule to prevent the Amer
icar market being flooded when the for
eign market suffered from overproduction.
