KERN TELLS WILSON
OF CAUCUS ACTIVITY
Tariff Bill will Not Go to Senate
Before July 5, Majority
Leader Declares.

Senator Kern of Indiana, chairman
of the Democratic caucus of the Sem
ate, called on President Wilson today
and assured the President that the
tariff bill will not come out of eau
Gus before July 5.
The purpose of Senator Kern's call
was TO impress upon the President
that IL would be unnecessary for the
latter to return to Washington from
Cornish, N. H.. for at least a week.
The President and his family will
leave for the Summer Capital late
1his afternoon.
Despite senator Kern's- assurances
the President listened impassively
and did not state whether he would
return earlier. II is the Presidents
intention to keep in close touch with
Developments in connection with both
the tariff bill and the currency bill.
While none of the amendments thus
far tackled on to either bill is said to
have aroused the opposition of the
PRESIDENT, he is apparently determin-
ed to follow Developments closely.
From the Presidents viewpoint one
or the most serious changes threatened
IN connection with the currency bill is
that insisted upon by the American
Bankers Association that the bankers
OF the country should have at least
minority representation on the Federal
| Reserve Board. This change the Presi-
dent Is said to be determined against,
Tor while minority representation woulfi
not give the bankers control of the
board. he is unwilling. apparently, that
any particular interests of the bank
Ing community. represented by this nj
nority. should have a friend at court"
Secretary Bryan, upon whom the
President Is believed to be depending
to bring the Bryan followers in Con-
gress into line on the currency legisia-
ton, held an hours conference with the
President this morning.

"Sight Unseen"
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with the appointment of Messrs.
out today.
The President never has seen Mr.
siddons. He appointed the new Com
missioner solely on his record and on
the recommendation of Mr.. Newman.
About six weeks ago. President Will
son asked Mr.. Newman to suggest some
Washington man who would be a good
man to appoint as District Commis-
sioner. Mr.. Newman said he believed
Mr.. Siddons was the man. He told the
President something Of Mr.. SiddonS
resord, and there the matter rested.
Previously II had been brought TO Mr..
Ncwfman's attention that the President
had decided to appoint him as Com
missioner, and he was paid the honor
IL being permitted to suggest a man
with whom he could work in harmony
in the District Commissioners office.
Hears AL Sides.
The Presidents mind Is said to have
been made up since his interview six
weeks ago with Mr.. Newman. but he
delayed the appointment in order to
give a hearing to all sides. In the
meantime nothing came up to bring the
President and Mr.. Siddons, the man
he had decided to appoint as Commits
sioner. together, and the appointment
was made without the President who Is
erected to act in the capacity of mayor

Mr. Shonts closely with regard TO the
terms of the agreement entered into with
j. i. Morgan & Co. for the financing
Of the company in its dual system agree
ment with the city.
Mr. Hodge first objected TO the adver-
t.sement Of the hearing, on the ground that
it gave the amount OF bonds to be issued
as SljO;197, 500. whereas, he said $40
100000 were TO be issued. In reply to
questions Mi Shonts admitted he had not
looked to any one else relative TO the issue
except the Morgan banking house, but
said the undertaking was such large one

to get any one else to finance il.

Mr.. Hodge.
II thought that was not my business.
replied Mr. Shonts, "it was my business to

brought out the statement that he re-
garded the price TO be paid for the new
issue by J. p. Morgan g. Co, 49,,

Hedley, general manager Of the Inter
borough said one difficulty that the COM

Of it's issue was the fact that the money
was TO be made available 10 the com

entire issue being sold at once, but no in
