ATTACK ON TARIFF
MurdOck AssdiIs Democratic
Bill in Report.

Washington, April 25.-A tariff com
mission with power TO elicit informa-
ton was urged, reasonable reduction
of any duty obviously excessive was
advocated, and radical reductions not
founded on adequate information were
opposed In a minority report present
ed to the house by Representative
Victor Murdock of Kansas, the Pro
gressive member of the ways and
means committee.
Mr.. Murdoch, in his report, asserted
that IL there had been wanting proof
Of the necessity of a tariff commission
the pending Democratic tariff bill
alone would supply it, He charged
that as a result of the methods used
in its preparation the few men who
drafted IL "are not warranted in feel.
ing certainty as to its effects and
most OF those who have endorsed IT
in caucus as party measure cannot
have other than a superficial knowl
edge Of its provisions
The Democratic revision, he said,
had been undertaken in defiance of a
universally popular demand that "the
tariff should be revised scientifically,
a schedule at time, upon data that
is not ex-parte, with full right of do
bate and amendment without secrec,

Victims Of Explosion at
Finleyville, Pa.
RESCUE WORK DANGEROUS

Air Must Be Forced Through the

Pittsburg, April 25.-It is believed
that at least seventy-five men lost
their lives in the Cincinnati mine of
the Monogahela Consolidated Coal

bodies have been recovered. That the

out the statement that the loss of

A theory as to the cause of the lat

men who escaped is that an old mine
running parallel with the Cincinnati
mine was filled with gas which may
have escaped through crack in

II will take thorough investigation,
however, to ascertain whether escap-

caused the explosion.
The majority of the dead are for

JAPANESE PREMIER
CONDEMNS JINCOISM
Peaceful Relations With This
Country Must Prevail.

Toxic, April 25.--The relations be-
tween Japan and the United States
were discussed by Premier Count
Gombei Yamamoto He said they
must remain peaceful. despite local
disturbances, and he expressed abso-
lutte confidence that American citizens,
both official and unofficial, would de
mand that no discrimination be made
and that matters be arranged in a
spirit of fair play. He said he entire
ly disapproved of any exhibition OF
temper or unseemly agitation.
Baron Nobuaki Maxine, minister OF
foreign affairs, in an address to an
assembly of members of the Japanese
chamber Of commerce, said the Japa-
nese government was doing all in It's
power relative to the California allen
land ownership question, but he was
unable to reveal the diplomatic CORE
spondence which had passed between
the two governments.
He was confident, he said, that the
outcome of the affair would be salts

and the Japanese people to show quiet
and dignifed patience.

Diplomats at Washington
Hear Proposals.
TO PROBE ALL DISPUTES
Basis of Treaty Negotiations Here.
after Would Be an Agreement to
Allow Certain Time for investigation
of international Differences.

Washington, April 25.-Secretary
Bryan laid before the diplomatic corps
his plans for an international agree
ment for peace. Almost every ambas-
sador and minister in Washington
was at the secretary's Office in re-
sponse to his invitation and heard his
explanation of the plan which soon
would be the basis of treaty negotia-
tions.
Mr.. Bryan said later the details are
a matter of agreement between the
contracting nations and might be diff
ferent in different cases.
THE statement presented to the
diplomatic representatives, Secretary
Bryan said, "is only intended to set
forth the main proposition, namely,
that the president desires to enter into
an agreement with each nation for the
investigation of all questions of every
nature whatever This agreement is
intended to supplement the arbitra-
ton treaties now in existence and
those that may be made hereafter.
Arbitration treaties already except
some questions from arbitration. The
agreement proposed by the president
is intended to close the gap and leave
no dispute that can become a cause
for war without investigation.
THE time in which the report is to
be made is left to be agreed upon and
II may be that the time will differ in
different cases, but any time. however.
short, furnishes an opportunity for in
vestigation and deliberation, and it
is hoped that the period provided for
investigation and deliberation will be
sufficient to secure a settlement with
out resort to war. Each party is to
reserve the right to act independently
after a report is submitted.
But whether the proposed agree.
ment accomplishes as much as is
hoped for 1t, II is at least a step in
the direction of universal peace, and
I am pleased to be the agent through
whom the president presents this
proposition to the powers represented
here"

that both he and Commissioner Sid
dons have known Mr. oyster for a
long time and consider him eminent
ly qualified for the position.
While he was not thought of specially
in connection with the board of assis-
tant assessors, he said. they had con-
sidered for some time rendering him an
appointment in the District service
when the opportunity arrived.
Mr.. Oyster is a Democrat and an
ardent advocate of the single tax. He
was born in Sunbury, Pa. is sixty
seven years old. and has lived In Wash
ington since 1866 Until yesterday,
when he submitted his resignation. he
was an S1.sCO clerk in the office Of the
Auditor for the Navy Department,
Treasury Department.
The eligibility of Mr.. Oyster was
questioned at the District building to-
day. The contention was made that
Mr. oyster does not claim Washington
as his home, and that at the last cleo
ton he voted in Pennsylvania.
While the matter has not been for
mally placed before the Commissioners,
II is understood that it will. Neither of
the Commissioners would discuss the
proposition. The law provides that an
assistant assessor must be a resident of
the District for five wears and be con-
versant with real estate values.
