Tariff Commission and
Anti Dumping Law
Urged by Kitchin.
NO DANGER NEAR;
JUST A PRECAUTION
Clause, as in Underwood Bill, IS
Planned in Levy Against
Cheap Foreign Goods.
fFror1 TIE Tribune Bu,suI


Washington, Jan. 2f-Democrsttc
fear Of the trade invasion Of the United
States following the conclusion OF peace
manifested itself strongly In the House
Of Representatives to-day when the
floor leader, Mr. Kitchin, chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee, said
he believed that tariff commission
should be created and an anti-dumping
provision inserted in the tariff law. A
majority Of the members OF the Ways
and Means Committee favor these two
plans TO check imports, two OF the
Democratic members -Olney. Of Massa-
chusetts, and SABBATH. Of Illinois-al-
ready having introduced bills for a
tariff commission.
The anti-dumping provision favored
by the Democratic leaders is not the
one proposed by Secretary Of Commerce
Redheld, which would involve prose-
cution of persons trading in dumped"
goods for unfair competition" but Is
the plan proposed by Oscar ". Under
wood, when he was chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee two years
ago. which was adopted by the House
but knocked out Of the bill by the Sen
ate
In explaining his position on the
tariff commission Mr.. Kitchin said he
thought II should be a non-partisan
board to make reports 10 Congress, but
rot 20 the President.
"Anti-dumplng legislation" he said,
"will be in the nature Of extreme pre-
caution. | DO not believe that there

State Committeeman Are
Opposed to Unofficial
Convention.
SEEK TO LAUNCH
WILSON CAMPAIGN
"Federals" Favor Gathering,
but Organization Men In
tend to Prevent II.

ny a star Correspondent ~ Tie Tribune
Albany, Jan. q There is strong
probability that there will be no IN
official convention Of the Democrats
next month. Democrats who practi-
cally control the state committee let II
be known to-day that they are opposed
TO any such plan, primarily to avoid "A
bitter fight between the so-called Demo-
cratic Federal" crowd and tho or
ganizalion Democrats.
About one-third OF the members OF
the state committee are affiliated with
the Federal crowd, OF which Secretary
McAdoo and Franklin ID. Roosevelt are
the leaders, and the organization Demo
Gratis believe that If a convention IS
held they will kick up big row.
The only purpose OF holding an un-
official convention would be to agree on
the names OF the big four" delegates
to the St. Louis convention and TO
adopt resolutions praising the admin
istrution Of President Wilson. The
Federal crowd want the convention held
10 launch the Presidents campaign for
reelection in this state. Organization
men are opposed to any such proceed
ing, and do not intend to let IL 90
through. The whole thing means a
sharp fight at Thursdays meeting Of
the state committee.
One Of the unofficial convention plans
discussed to-day provides for the Sc
lection Of two delegates from each As
sembly district. who. with the state
committee, would make up the conven-
tion. This was not looked on favorably
by the organization men.
Reports that William Church Osborn
would either quit or be forced out Of
the Craftsmanship Of the committee at
Thursdays meeting were not given
much credence here this afternoon. u
is understood Tat Mr. Osborn will not
seek reelection a. chairman following
the April primaries, the belief being
that he will give his undivided atteu-
ton 90 his candidacy for Governor.

In Sacramento, Cal The sending of two
checks from this city to Sacramento, re-
called the story and reminded lawyers
here of the fact that Mrs. Cunnius had
just rounded out a full decade of life
after being legally dead for seven years.
Those checks recalled a legal fight that
represented little money. but an important
principle, and went to the United States
Supreme Court. In this last and high

or woman alive in the flesh Is alive in

progress prior to the resurrection
Margaret Cunnius, now white haired,
but in fair health, living in Sacramento at
this time, was born and raised in Read
Ing. In 1888 she left here and was re-
ported to have married a Reading man,
settling with him in the Far West. He
died in 1899, when for the first time in
years this woman. who had gotten COM
pletely out of touch with her relatives
and friends here and was supposed to be
dead, was heard of again.
In the meantime, her son, John, of this
city, had started court proceedings un-
der a Pennsylvania law of 1885 to have
his mother legally declared dead. The
proceeding was finished and the son
eventually was granted the death decree
and took possession of the estate.
