Washington, D. G., Jan. 23.-Cre-
alton of a Tariff Commission, it was
learned from official sources tonight,
has been determined upon by the
Wilson Administration A bill pro-
viding for such a commission will be
introduced in the near future and
President Wilson may discuss the sub
ject in a message to Congress.
The duties of the proposed COM
mission or board under the plan is
understood to have been agreed up
on by administrative leaders, and
would be to collect information re-
garding the tariff and to coordinate
similar powers now believed by Pres
ident Wilson to be held by existing
Government bodies.
Aside from his belief that the tar
iff always should be treated in scien-
tific fashion, the President has given
consideration to the situation which
will follow the European war, and
has been urged by many of his advis-
ers that legislation will be necessary
to safeguard Americas commercial
and industrial interests when that
time comes.
Considered After Effects of War
In his last message to Congress he
said:
"Many conditions about which we
have repeatedly legislated are being
altered from decade to decade, it is
evident under our very eyes, and are
likely to change even more rapidly
and more radically in the day imme-
diately ahead Of us, when peace has
returned to the world and the nations
Of Europe once more take up their
tasks Of commerce and industry with
the energy of those who must bestir
themselves to build anew.
Gust what these changes will be
no one can certainly forecast or con-
tidently predict. They are not cal
culable because they are no stable
elements in the problem. The most
we can do is to make certain that we
have the necessary instrumentalities
of information constantly at our SER
vice, o that we may be sure that we
know exactly what we are dealing with
when we come to act, if it should be
necessary for us to act at ALL"
Wilson's Letter to Cox.
When former Governor Cox of Ohio
wrote to him some time ago suggest
ing that tariff commission should |
be created, the President replied:
"The full powers of tariff COM
are already lodged in the ex-
isting organs Of the Government;
most of them and really more than
the former commission had, in the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce in the Department of Com
and others (power of investigation
chiefy) in the hands of the new Fed
eral Trade Commission. Perhaps it
would be better if these various pow
ers were assembled in the hands of one
bureau, or department, but aside
from that, / think the machinery ex-

WOUNDED MAN IN
SERIOUS CONDITION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Dec. Assistant Chief
Of Police John W. Baker was called
out at 3 o'clock yesterday morning to
quell riot in the colored section.
While on his way to the scene OF the
trouble. at Queen and Reed streets,
Officer Baker claims he was attacked
by Harvey Wilson, alias Tug" Wilson.
The officer says Wilson threw bricks
at him and one struck him in the face,
wounding him. Wilson was accom-
panied by Harry Yingling. who. Baker
claims. assisted Wilson in his attack.
The officer states that in self-defenne
he shot three times at Wilson, one
bullet entering his arm, the other two
penetrating the back. one entering the
abdomen and the other piercing the
lung.
Wilson and his companion claim
that the attack of Baker was entirely
unprovoked, that neither Of them
threw any bricks at the officer. and
that the officer shot at Wilson as the
latter was running away from him.
They claim that the shooting was the
result OF personal animosity against
Wilson.
After the shooting the wounded
man ran away and later walked to

Preparing BILL TO
Abolish HANGING
Grand Jurors Think Some
More Scientific Method e
Should be Adopted
ALSO SUGGESTS
OTHER NEW LAWS

During the session of the Legisla-
ture next month, number OF import.
ant bills will be introduced to carry
out the recommendations OF the grand
Jury in its report to the Court of Gen
eral Sessions. Among these will be
bill to abolish hanging IN this State.
The grand jury appointed n committee
10 look out for such legislation and
the committee on Saturday held a
meeting at the Hotel DUPONT I. Al
len Eilles. who was foreman of the
grand jury; Charles c. Speakman.
Richard A. Whittngham and Henry NJ.
Lang were present al the meeting.
Joseph II. HOssinger and l.. Scott
Townsend were unable TO attend The
bills to be presented TO the Legisla-
ture viii be submitted to the bench
and bar for approval and support.
The chief matter TO be considered is
that of some method for capital pun
ishment. Instead of the rope or cleo
trio chair some form of scientific
euthanasia should be used
The jurors felt that a far greater
deterrent to murderers than hang
ing or electrocution on certain set
date, would be knowledge on the part
OF a criminal that after all means
to save him we're exhausted, he
would simply disappear, and that he
would neither know the day nor the
hour that would be his last.
After condemnation he would not
know whether death would not come
TO him in his next nights sleep
through some form OF scientific eu-
thanasla, introduced in his chamber
possibly in the form OF gos, many
OF which are instantly fatal.
Another bill that viii be presented
TO the General Assembly, is to give
Judges the right to decide in first de-
gree murder cases whether the con
victed murderer shall suffer death or
be imprisoned for life.
Under the present law the judges hav,
no option but TO impose the death sen
tence on prisoners convicted of first de.
gree murder.
The committee also decided that toe
many cases Of q petty nature are com
ing before the grand Jury and the upper
court, thereby entailmg much expense Ia
the county. This question has beer
talked about for years, but nothing def

10 the lower court to try minor cases the
law must be amended so that trial BY
Jury can be demanded by the accused.
Suggestions have been made that in
Kent and Sussex counties the resident
Judges would be the committing magis
trates.
Other recommendation Of the pre-
sentiment that will be turned into Bill
I are;
Provision by the State Of an institu
tion for the feehlo-minded, for whicl
there is now inadequate provision.
Better system for junk dealers to re
port to the police on daily business.
That the law against the sale o
habit forming drugs be amended So a
TO include additional drugs and increas
ing the penalty from a maximum of 500
or one year to $1,000 OF five years.

That witness fees in the City Cour
be increased from 50 cents 10 81 a day
and that in State cases the cost b
