reach the representatives Of the COM
mittee here today. The committee will
make no further revision of the de-
mands.
This question settled, interest In the
inquiry to be resumed next Monday
turned to the personnel of witnesses.
1t is believed that some time may
elapse before any important witqesses
are summoned. Thomas W. Lawson
said in Boston last night that he was
leaving the leak mess and that he
intended to go to his Oregon ranch for
few months vacation.
AS the committee requirements now
stand 1t will not be necessary for
brokers' to submit trial balances uf
their business at the close of Dec. ..
It will not be necessary to show ac-
counts Of customers who traded in less
than 1000 shares. Brokers must, how
ever, submit the names Of all GUS
toners, whether they were "long or
short" and the data must be in such
form that if the committee finds rea-
son to do so itswill be able to connect
names and accounts.
The committees first search, accord

RAIL REGULATION
WILL BE PUSHED
Not Probable Wilson viii Demand
Extra Session - Committee POST
pones Final Action on Rail Bill un.
iii Next Week-President Opposes
Plan Of 5rotherhoods For Mixed
Commission.

Washington, Jan. ~ Continued
failure of democratic senator's to agree
on a legislative program led some ad-
ministration leaders today to believe
that the only measures which can be
passed before adjournment March 4
are railroad regulation, mineral land
leasing, revenue and appropriation
bills. They express the opinion that
the president would not call an extra
session if these subjects were dis
posed of.
The senate interstate commerce
committee postponed final action on
the railroad bill until next week. The
corrupt practices and water power and
food control bills and the Webb COL
lective foreign agency measures are
still subjects of wide disagreement.
Conference Over Postrna sters.
An attempt TO have stricken out of
the legislative executive and judicial
bill provision making all postmasters
non political and placing them on the
civil service list will be made in con-
ference, according to several senators
today. This provision of the bill,
which passed the senate yesterday, is
objected to on the ground that it is
not germane to the measure.
Other provisions of the bill, which
now goes back to the house for ap-
proyal, would increase government
clerks salaries and prohibit bureau
Of education employees from receiving
pay from private Institutions. The
bill carries s40,000.000, an increase Of
s1,000,000 over the measure as it
passed the house
Wilson Opposes brotherhood Plan.
President Wilson is not expected to
accept without some modification the
proposal of the railroad brotherhood
heads that mixed commission Of
railroad employers and employees be
created to investigate disputes as
substitute for the presidents recon-
,mendation that strikes or iockouts be
prohibited pending investigation by
government Body.
In Conference with the president to-
day, Representative Adatnsun took she
position that the commission. proposed
would be useless unless 1t included a
representative Of the public.

feIler Group and Bureau.
washington, Jan. 81. - Steps were
taken in the senate to divorce the sew
eral bureaus OF education from the al
legged pernicious influence OF the Car
negie and Rockefeller foundations.
In debate which brought forth
some mildly sensational disclosures,
Senator Chamberlain. Of Oregon,
showed that 1t has become the custom
for the bureau Of education to retain
a large number Of persons on Its staff
as collaborators and investigators at
the nominal salary OF 81 year.
These persons are paid large SAL
aries by some other agency, their con-
nection with the government bureaus
being solely for the purpose OF giving
them the postal franking privilege for
their personal use, or for the purpose
OF permitting them to have their own
documents printed as official govern.
menta documents at public expense.
Cuts on Outside Pay.
An amendment offered by Senator
Chamberlain and amended by Senator
Works, Of California. making it
misdemeanor for any one connected
with the educational bureau to accept
nav from another source, was inserted
ia the legislative and executive ap-
propriation bill before It passed the
senate yesterday.
senator Chamberlain referred par
ticularly to the case OF DR.. Charles Fl.
Judd OF the University of Chicago In
his attack on the educational bureau
system He asserted DR.. Judd, who
&C. = hn I'M 4.
yersity, Is carried on the educational
bureau pay rolls as an investigator at
81 a year. This results in giving DR..
Judd the privilege OF sending out
auesttonaires at public expense and OF
having his own documents printed at
government expense and sent out as
bulletins Of the educational bureau.
Fears Educational Monopoly.
Mr.. Chamberlain also referred to the
case OF Calvin TX T-Iiinii, formerly
superintendent OF schools at Indian
apolis, but now commissioner OF edu-
cation Of New Jersey, who receives 81
4 wear from tleshnreaus and $4,000 a
year from the state OF New Jersey.
senator Chamberlain declared that
by these means the Carnegie and
Rockefeller foundations. who were in
sess.s manner sssnens:h!s scr the nay
of ti1e more than $50 individuals VINO
were carried on the pay roll at 81 a
year, were able to influence the educa-
ton Of the youth Of the country.
The propaganda of the Carnegie and
Rockefeller foundations were In this
manner so widely spread that In two
or three generations they would be
able to influence the thought Of the
country. Mr.. Chamberlain declared.
