CONGRESS ANXIOUS TO QUIT
MAY COMPLETE IMPORTANT
MEASURES THIS WEEK.
Revenue Bill and Antitrust Leaisla.
ton Expected to Pass Senate
All Would Adjourn Soon.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Enactment
OF the war revenue bill and compile
ton of antitrust legislation win be
undertaken by congress this week.
The war revenue measure, having
passed the house, Is now in the hands
OF the senate finance committee. The
Clayton antitrust bill conference re-
port is the unfinished business of the
senate and has been taken up for dis
cussion.
Administration leaders believe that
both of these important measures can
be disposed of within ten days.
The senate finance committee hopes
to have the war tax bill ready for the
senate as soon as the Clayton bill is
disposed of. The committee still has
under consideration the substitution
Of tax on automobiles for the pro-
posed tax of 2 cents gallon on gaso-
line
Conferences of Democratic leaders
are being held to consider the legis.
lative program for the rest of the ses.
sion, and there is every indication OF
decision to drop the Alexander bill
for the government purchase of ocean,
going ships to aid in the restoration
of American commerce.
While the senate debates the Clay,
ton bill the house will continue dis.
cussion of the Jones bill to pave the
way for Philippine independence. This
measure Democratic leaders declare
will encounter serious opposition In
the senate and is certain to hold con.
gress indefinitely If there is DISPOSE
ton to pass 1t before adjournment OF
the session.
Republicans and Democrats alike
are growing FESTIVE as the fall cam
paign approaches. House leaders de
clare they could adjourn by Oct. 10
though they are making no fiat pre-
dictions, because of uncertainty in th&
senate.

New York, Sept. 26.-Audrew Car
negie absolved Emperor William OF
responsibility for the European war
on his arrival here from England ON
board the Mauretania.
Knows Kaiser Well.
Il know the kaiser WE'LL" said Mr..
Carnegie.
He is the most sorrowful man in
Europe today. The emperor went to
sea for a vacation. He was on his
yacht when he heard of the trouble.
He got into communication with Ber-
lin. He was called back and went
with all speed. When he got there
the mischief was done.
Thinks Ministers Responsible.
His ministers are responsible for
the entire affair. The German en-
peror has done more for developing
Germany than any other ruler Of his
time. He has made schools, he has
pensioned the working classes, and he
has helped the laboring man. Kaiser
Wilhelm came into power and found
Germany, under Bismarck, an uncivil-
ICED community.
Things have taken such turn that
l believe Sir Edward Grey said exact
ly the right thing when he made the
statement:
I'VE are not fiAIting the German
people, but German militarism.'
crIticlses German MiIItarlsn.
German militarism overrules the
great men of Germany. The great
men of Germany are not members of
the court, but are scientists, philoso-
piers and the real leaders of Ger
many's progress.
"'The rulers Of the world gathered
around the men who feel that they
also have a tenure of Office and form
these military cliques, such as was
formed In Germany, and they took
such action as instigating this war dur
ing the absence of the kaiser himself.
Compliments Edward Grey.
Now that the war Is on, | am de-
lighted to find that Britain has as
great and able man as Sir Edward
Grey. He is a man who will lead them
In the right way, he is man who does
not say things without meaning them.
There is on greater statesman in the
world today"
| Mr.. Carnegie expressed his pleasure
over getting back to America.
ITO get back to a republic at peace,
and country of the brotherhood of
man, is wonderful" he said.

GARRISON SAYS
STEAMSHIP LINES
WANT TOO MUCH
Attacks Them for Exorbitant
Prices to Transport Amer
leans Home.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Garrison expressed his chagrin at
the disposition of American steam
ship companies TO charge what he
considers exorbitant prices for yes
sells to transport Americans. Mr.
Garrison said preliminary inquiries
brought information that vessels
could be obtained for about $500 a
day The price suddenly has been
doubled
II do not intend to have anyone
get suddenly rich out of this BUSH
ness" said Secretary Garrison. THE
steamship companies will find that
they cannot use this occasion to ST.
phon money out of the United States
Treasury"
For that reason Mr.. Garrison said
il viii be his purpose first, to employ
some of the twelve army transports
at Galveston already being refitted
for transatlantic service. He has
made inquiry if he has authority to
commander commercial vessels for
the emergency, and is hopeful that
the government can seize ships and
afterward arrange for fair compen-
sation for their use.
Inquiries for the Pacific vessels
have developed that nothing is avail
able there more adaptable than on
the Atlantic side. 1t was found also
that no vessels were available on the
Great Lakes.
