Home Rule Committee Declares Ex-
else Board Nominees Are Not
Bona Eide Residents.
PROTEST GOING TO COMMITTEE

Opposition to the confirmation of H.
S. Baker and Robert C. Smith as mem
bers of the District Excise Board will
be waged by the Home Rule Commit
tee, on the ground that the appointees
are not bona fde residents of the Dis
trict
This decision was reached at a meet
ing of the committee last night at the
New Ebbitt \ committee OF three was
appointed to prepare a formal protest
for presentation to the Senate District
Committee tomorrow morning, when
the question of Excise Board confrma-
tions is brought up.
The excise law providing for the an
pointment of the board members does
not state that the appointees shall be
bona fde residents of the District, so
the Home Rule Committee is basinE its
opposition on the fact that both the
Republican and Democratic platforms
contain pledges to appoint local men to
local Offices.
The Home Rulers maintain that Mr..
Baker voted in West Virginia last fall,
and that Mr.. Smith is a resident Of New
Jersey. The committee appointed to call
at the Capitol will be composed of W. J.
Staggers, Norman Bowles, and John
Horrigan.
The committee recently appointed to
investigate the eligibility of Edward W.
Oyster. assistant assessor and successor
to Samuel T. kalbfus, reported progress,
and asked for additional time to COM
plete its inquiry. The law distinctly
states that the assistant assessor shall
have been a resident of the District for
five years prior to appointment, and the
Home Rulers point out that only last fall
Mr.. Oyster voted in Pennsylvania, thus
transferring his bona fide
residence from the District to the Key
stone State.
Col. Charles c. Lancaster presided at
the meeting in the absence OF William
J. Neale, the chairman. Percy Metzger

SENATOR REED AND EMERY
HAVE LIVELY ENCOUNTER

James A. Emery admitted to the Senate
lobby committee yesterday that he was
directly responsible for the employment
of James E. Watson. former Representa-
tive from Indiana, as lobbyist for a tariff
commission bill in 1909, and that at the
time Of WatsOn's employment there was
some discussion about a large fee to be
paid Watson contingent upon the pas
sage OF the tariff commission bill. Evil
denCe to this effect was found after
persistent denials by Emery in a letter
written by Emery TO 5. c. Schwedtman,
Of st. Louis, secretary to the then Presi-
dent Van Cleave. OF the National AssO-
citation of Manufacturers
The Buck stove and range case in con-
neCtiOn with the judgment of contempt
against Samuel Gompers was brought
into the case yesterday and resulted in a
sharp interchange OF statements between
Senator Reed and Emery. Speaking of
the American Anti-Boycott Association.
Senator Reed said: Il don't think such
an association has any right on earth.
Any man who joins such an organization
ought to he placed in jail
Your opinion reflects on no one but
yourself" retorted Emery.
Il don't expect il TO reflect on any one
who ever employed Mulhall," said Sena-
tor Reed.
Emery letters Culled from the files of
the National Association OF Manufac-
turers showed that the manufacturers
were seldom a unit on any question ex-
Cept labor legislation.
Senator Reed read a letter showing
that the National Association of Manu-
faCturers laid out a comprehensive pub
licity campaign in support of the tariff
commission. Thomas Brehsny, now a
clerk to President Wilson and former
of the tariff commission. was
one Of the men spoken of in these letters
as writer who was preparing articles
favorable TO a tariff commission.

thing to do with having him made secre-

CAUCUS ENDING work
ON CURRENCY MEASURE
Consideration of Bill Will Be Brought
to Conclusion Today or Early
Tomorrow.
TO co TO HOUSE NEXT WEEK

Insurgents and regulars agreed last
night that consideration of the currency
bill will be concluded in the House Dem
ocratic caucus today or early tomorrow.
The situation was summed up last night
by Representative Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the caucus, as fol-
lows:
The house Democrats are IN favor of
the administration bill by about four TO
one. II We had been able to keep our
members here, our Iabors would have
been concluded a week ago. Most of the
absentees are for the bill, and, taking it
FOR granted that it would be indorsed in
caucus. did not think it important to
stay on the job
The insurgents. led by Representative
Henry of Texas, yesterday resorted to
dilatory tactics. The leaders had plan
ned to keep the caucus in session last
night. A little before o'clock Mr.. Henry
made the point of no quorum. AS there
was no quorum present, adjournment
was taken until this morning at II
o'clock.
Yesterdays discussion revolved around
the section dealing with note issues and
the provision authorizing a refunding on
a per cent basis of the government IS
sections were adopted, although the in
opposed them.
The leaders are much relieved that the
end of debate in caucus is in sight They
plan to take up the bill for debate in
the House early next week. Just how
much time will be allowed for debate
has not been determined As a general
however, they do not believe
that the House will devote more than
two weeks to the measure.

Observation-Disclosures

Ten and twenty years ago climatic con-
ditions such as were prevailing over a
large part of the country this year would
have resulted in almost a crop failure.
but the restoration to the soil of the fer
| tility OF which it is in need to assure a
better return for the labor is showing
its results in average yields in a year of
uncertain climate. High temperatures
and insufficient rainfall, which from
time TO time settle over the trans
Missouri Valley, are no longer attended
with abandoned acreage. This year is
an admirable and effective showing of
the better methods used on most OF the
farms, IN the production of a corn crop
OF average size, and of an oats crop
that a few years ago was considered a
bumper crop"
Business Conditions.
The summary of the business condi-
uons is decidedly interesting, and this
hne gives courage. The most striking
feature of the advices to the Continental
Commercial Bank. referring to agricul-
tural prospects and business outlook, is
the entire absence of pessimism in the
face of a rather high and tight money
market General fundamental con-
ditions in the United States are held to
be good. - Manufacturing as a whole
is above normal The merchan-
dising situation is exceedingly sound.
Building operations suffered a de-
cided shock by reason of high rates for
money. Newark held the record increase
Of ITO per cent. Baltimore increased IS
per cent, Washington's growth has been
checked, lessening permits and less cost

Collections in the automobile business
appear TO be good, and the tight money
market does not check the sale of the

BnItimOre's Allotment.
The Treasury of the United States has
deposited in Baltimore national banks
upward of S2,5OO,O0O and is ready to in
crease the amount to S2,SOO,OOO if the
banks wish.
The largest allotment to one bank was
$4,000 and the smallest s75OOO. In fix
ing the amount of the deposits, the gov
was influenced to large extent
by the amount of accommodation ex-
tended to agricultural communities by
the institutions applying for the money. |
The department has impressed upon |
the banks that these special deposits |
must be used solely to facilitate the |
movement of the crops of the South and |
