The closing argument of bro
chure issued for general circulation
by the League submits the following
conclusions:
THAT we do not DEAL WITH
TARIFFS at all, but with THE
METHOD OF MAKING TARIFFS,
hence there is no politics in it.
THAT this movement is absolute
ly impartial and in no sense politi-
cal, and that 1t Is entitled to the full
confidence and earnest support Of
everyone.
"That it presents a sane and prac-
tical plan for dealing with the tariff
that should give everyone a square
deal and an equal opportunity, and
that it will give no one an unfair
advantage.
"That is provides a way to make
the necessary tariff adjustments

ALIzATION TO BUSINESS.

''The plan provides that NO PO-
LITICAL PARTY SHALL HAVE A
MAJORITY REPRESENTATION 1t
provides that AGRICULTURE AND
LABOR shall be represented, as
well as MANUFACTURES AND
TRADE AND COMMERCE. 1t pro-
vides also for trained expert from
the field of higher education and a
technical tariff expert, familiar with
departmental rulings and classified
tions.
"The continuity of the commits
sion's work is to be insured against
"a failure to appropriate by an un-
friendly committee by having a
fixed automatic appropriation. 1t
provides for a stronger commission,
and with broader powers, than any
other hitherto proposed.
THAT the greatly increased and
increasing duties Of Members Of
Congress, due to the situation on
our southern border and over the
sea, make it absolutely necessary to
delegate the work herein contem-
plated. 1t is the logic Of past expert
ence and coming events"

old, of 1401 Monroe street northwest
The alleged attempt, the police say
occurred about 1870 o'clock this morn
ing, at the Henry D. Cooke Public
School, 18th street northwest between
Columbia road and Fuller street.
The police say that the child found
the man in room in which he should

the girls description. He is said to be
about eighteen years old and to have
reddish hair and a smooth face. The
police have been told that he wore a
suit of clothes of what is known as
salt and pepper" mixture, and cap
similar to the suit.
The young man is said to have rid
den away from the school on a bicycle
after being frightened off. The alleged
attempt occurred on the lower floor
of the building. The child says she
was accosted by. the stranger. that he
took hold of her and greatly fright

TUNNEL NOT BLOWN UP
Carranza Agency Refutes Report Of
Activities Against the Tehuan-
tepec Railroad,

The Carranza agency here today de-
MED. on information from Vera Cruz
that the tunnel on the Tehuantepec
railroad and some bridges had been de-
stroyed. This railroad is owned by
British capital and the British embassy
here inquired of the State Department
as to the report several days ago that
the tunnel and bridges had been blown
up. The Carranza agency issued this
statement:
Official advices today from Gen. Car
rama, at Vera Cruz, state that the sit
uation on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
has undergone no change. The agency
was instructed to deny emphatically
that any bridges or tunnels of the Te-
huantepec railway had been destroyed,
as was enormously reported.
Gen. Carranza holds that the magni-
tude of the defeat of the Villaista
troops at Marte compares favorably
with that at Puebla. Marte will be the
base of operations for the attack on
Torreon. The fall of this city would
mean the complete isolation of Villa.
as he would lose his principal base of
supply.
"Advices from Naco report that Gen.
Hill. military commander of the con-
stitutionalists troops there, has been
called to Vera Cruz by the first chief
out of the crossing of bullets into
American territory. A favorable solu-
ton of the difficulty will continue to be
sought. 1t is probable that Gen. P.
Elias Gales will succeed to Gen. Hills
present position"

having attached rider to an appro-
priation bill Oh. r. 19422), which rider
abolishes the effect of the organic act
of 1878.

of the thinking people of the entire
United States.
I'VE request the cooperation of the
international and national labor unions
cha ambers of commerce, boards of trade

of all public-spirited citizens, in voic'
ing a protest against any effort to alb

H. Rozier Dulany, ]. Miller Kenyon
and Byron U. Graham were selected to-
day as trustees of the bankrupt estate
of Lewis Johnson & Co. The bond OF
the trustees was placed at $4,000 by

Personnel of Board.
Mr.. Dulany is trustee of the bank
rupt estate of Thomas E. Waggaman
and has acquired valuable experience
in handling bankruptcy affairs. Mr..
Kenyon was serving as a receiver OF
Lewis johnson & Co. under appoint
ment of the court. Mr.. Graham is as
sociated in the practice of law with
Attorney Leon Tobriner.
The meeting today was attended by
lawyers, brokers and former clients
of Lewis Johnson & Co. A number
of claims were offered to the referee
for proof, aggregatfng about 10000.
The proving of additional claims will
probably come up at the next meeting
of the creditors
Amount of Assets Problematic.
When the question of fixing the PEN
atty of the bond of the trustees arose
Attorneys Charles C. Tucker and Leon
Tobriner, counsel for the receivers,
stated that the only visible assets of
the firm were two automobiles, dia-
mond worth about $3.50 and about 5000
in cash. Other assets which might be
able TO be created were large pay
ments alleged to have been made to
creditors within the four months pro-
vision of the bankruptcy act, which
could only be recovered by litigation.
1t is said to be likely that the assets
may be increased by surplus arising
from pledged securities.
Attorney Tucker characterized the
assets of the brokerage Arm as 4
