S Winters, chairman of the po- ice committee, relative to Ceph Ross. patrolman. MT. Wallace replied that he did tell the committee that he had not withdrawn the charges as stated by Dr. Winters
 MT. Murray then asked permission to call Dr. George D. Waller as he was a professional man and had only a limited time to spend at the meeting. The permission being granted, pr. Wal Ter took the stand and in reply to the question by Mir. Murray, stated that the affair took place in Dr. Winters office and that he was present and that the three men (Dr. Winters, MT. Wallace and hmself) had discussed the. matter at length.
 q am familiar with the matter of the charges being withdrawn and Chief Wallace's words were to the ef- feet that he had considered the mat ter and had decided to hold ur or with draw the charges as to Ross, for Ross was oife of the best officers he had

 Tt makes absolutely no difference to me what you say in the matter" re- piled Dr. Waller and continued. 'as far as am concerned, the matter Is closed"
 Unable to Resent Statement
 pr. Weller then addressed the chair and stated that he wished to make a statement to the committee.
 'I rise to make a point of personal privilege" he said. "All must admit that I am not interested in this matter per- sonally and am not affected in any way and no matter what Mir. Wallace might say. he is an officer of the law and could not resent it. I thought at first to ask favor of the committee and let them swear me so that in case 1t was Genied could go on record as having held up my right hand and sworn that what said was true. I reoonsidered this however, but am willing to be sworn now"
 MT. Perry stated that he would believe Dr. Waller whether he was sworn or not, and pr. Waller left the room The first man called before the commit tee in defense of the officers was G. F. Da vidsorn, t6at Nfghant of this city. He tssfsf,rro soroe , IA. .in,s had been robbed

He said he had been called there to treat men who had been beaten when they resisted the officers forcibly and recalled one inci- dent.

BILL AUTHORIZING
 AMERICAN WAR LOAN IS RATIFIED BY THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
scentinaed from Page One,

sending out of the commission, was any thing but the first step in the proposal to obtain an American ioan.''
 He had all sorts of statements made to him. he said. but the only offer he could get was of mere fraction of R1O0. coo. .OOC at higher rate Of interest than is being paid. He sent out the commission. he added. because he found 1t impossible to make arrangements at such B rate of i'm tcrest as he felt justified in presenting to the house.
 During the debate on the bill there was some criticism of the interest rate.
 John Dillon, supporting the terms, de- elared the success of the loan was an index of popular sentiment in America toward the allies.
 Tt was business transaction but more than that" he said, ''and G. or 8 per cent would not have succeeded in ob- taining the money if 1t had not been for q deep wave of sympathy in America in favor of the allies. It is. therefore. a mistake to criticise the loan, as if the people of the United states had taken advantage of eur iiecetslties.''

Henry Blossom. who, with Victor Her bert. wrote "gThe Only Girl" at the Jef- ferson tonight, has as many successes to his credit any dramatic author before the public today. The combination be- tween Blossom and Herbert has been unusually productive of hits. Blossom began life as an insurance solicitor in his fathers office in Missouri and his first appearance as a librettist was made in 1901 when, in conjunction with Alfred c. Robyn, The Yankee Consol' was writ ten. Then began the famous combination between himself and Victor Herbert, from which resulted "The Red Mil" written for Montgomery and Stone. and Mile. Modste' and "The Prima Donna, :" for Fritzi Scheff. After separating from Victor Herbert, MT. Blossom wrote "The Slim Princess" for Elsie Janis, for which Leslie stuart, composer of "Floradora , supplied the music. This was follow ed by "All for the Ladies'" in which Sam Bernard starred, with music by Alfred G. Robyn, his first collaborator. Then was brought about the renewal of association between Blossom and Herbert and it's resultant, ''The Only Girl'' These two authors are also at work upon a new musical piece which they are writing for Joe Weber.

They left then and re- turned shortly after daylight and in less than two hours had captured one negro man and two negro women and recov- cred between s150 and s175 worth of the stolen goods. There was much other tes- timony by this man, who regarded the officers as being thoroughly competent men and to the length of his residence In the city.
 <On oross-examnation Mir. Davidson Stated that he knew nothing of the spe- cific charges brought against the officers by the Jefferson county grand jury.
 Denies Use of Sp0tter
 Chief Wallace then took the stand and denied that my corporation "spotters" had been getting up information for the prosecution. MT. Perry took occasion here to state to Mir. Murray that if anyone had told him that corporation ''spotters''' were getting up information for Perry the in formant was mistaken.
 There we're numerous questions asked MT. Wallace about the number of arrests he had made, and whether or not he ever slept any in his office and court and whether or not he had failed to report complaints made to him about favorites on the force. All of which MT. Wallace either answered or denied. He said that it was his impression that the negroes of this community were a bad lot. He re- called that there are now hanging in. the council chamber of the city hall a num-

EDITORIAL OPINION

a forced construction. Authors Of the
act and members Of the House and
Senate have denied any intention TO
grant such authority. Many OF the
leading Democrats have repeatedly
announced their unfiinching opposi-
ton to a tariff commission. If the
Federal Trade Commission has the
legal power to investigate the cost Of
production at home and abroad,
which would be one Of the necessary
duties Of tariff commission, it has
not been provided with adequate force
or specifically clothed with the power
to gather evidence.
But aside from this. the country
does not want a tariff commission
named by an administration commit
ted to "the fundamental principle Of
the Democratic party that the Federal
Government, under the constitution,
has no right or power to impose or
collect tariff duties except for the pur-
pose Of revenue" Everybody eXcept
Democrats knows that the first Con-
gress, in which several delegates to
the constitutional convention sat.
passed a tariff which contained among
its purposes "the announcement and
protection of manufactures" and that
President Washington. who had also
been president of the constitutional
convention, chose, as particularly
appropriate day to sign it. the Fourth
+ OF July. 1889. The majority Of the
people believe a protective tariff is
both constitutional and wise. A DEM
ocratic tariff commission, under the
party theory. would confine its in
vestigations to ways Of increasing the
revenue. Revenue is badly enough
needed. The country does not care
for opinions from this administration
on questions of competition. They re-
