HIGH INTEREST RATES

tested in the senate today against
the prevailing high interest rates

"The manufacturers, merchants

AS a remedy, Senator owen urged
that limitations be imposed on

that a margin of not less than 25

Washington, Feb. 16.--Reports OF

Representatives Frear and Ma

program in their report as "a riot
of waste" and Representative Lea,
democrat, declared in his report
that the republican members had
sacrificed facts for sensationalism
in an effort to discredit the gov
ernment.
Both reports contain thousands
OF words. They differ entirely in
the record of achievement in ship
ping American airplanes abroad
and in the performance of the air.
craft production generally
A prominent part of both reports
is given to the controversy over the
connection of John d. Ryan. form
er director of aircraft production,
with the construction of govern
ment built railroad, which, it has
been charged, rebounded to the
benefit of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul road of which Mr..
Ryan is director.
Disclaiming any attempts to de-
termine motives, the majority re-
port on that point says:
IF Mr.. Ryan's statement of dis
interestedness is true, he has been
most unfortunate in handling a
public matter that is the judgment

BEGGARS IGNORE
RECENT DECREE
Of AUTHORITIES

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
Madrid, Feb. 15.-The hundreds
of beggars who importune the WIS.,
itor to the Spanish capital from the
moment he leaves his hotel until
his return, have ignored a recent
decree of the authorities which. If
enforced, would have driven them
from the streets.
That a government, or the local
authorities under 1t, which can
keep the streets of the fashionable
watering places, such as San Sc
bastian, free from these beggars,
cannot do the same in it's capital
city, is the wonder of all. Perhaps
it is the power the beggars WELD
in local politics in Madrid that has
some thing to do with it Madrid
has over $4,000 mendicants about
ten to each 1000 of population.
They have a strong organization.
which allots pitches" hours Of
labor and distributes the col
lections among the collectors. I'm
der the direction of this organiza-
ton beggars are on the streets the
twenty-four hours of the day, the
late hours which Madrid keeps
making this profitable. To this
organization belong the 679 H.
censed blind beggars who ply their
trade during the day; the many
manned and disabled men, who dis
play their misshapen limbs to the
passerby; the blind musicians, who
play outside the doors of the cafes
and many others who wheedle CEN
tlmos out of the charitable in
varied ways.
outside this union are the hun
dreds of urchins, who are busy
around the cab stands, hotel and
cafe entrances during the day
picking up pennies as best they can
and an equal number. who dart
ont of doorways and archways in
the night after any passerby.
Another decree that has been
fonored in its breach is that which
ordained that a law passed some
years ago prohibiting the use of
two-wheeled carts in Madrid,
should come into effect January /.
The wheeled ox-cart stills
trundles over the cobble stones of
the city street.

IBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIRE1
Tombstone, Ariz., Feb. 16.-One
or more venires will be necessary
to complete the jury to try Harry
e. Wootton, first of 210 defendants
to go to trial for participation in
the Bisbee deportations of 1917, it
became evident today. Already four
venires totaling 1880 names have
been drawn.
But sixty-three talesmen from
the last venire of 400 names re-
manned to be examined when court
adjourned late today. Summons
were served on 1919 men constitut-
ing the venire and reported to court
when court convened this after
noon. OF these, fifty eight were ex-
cused by Judge Samuel L. Pattee
on statutory grounds and seventy
eight because they were employees
of defendant concerns.
Seventeen men were in the jury
box tentatively accepted by both
sides, but it was said the qualifica-
tions of one would be attacked by
the defense when examination of
lfiltolllth was p5hih b'so Nil' AONi7
Gus challenging would show the
sixty-three awaiting examination
insufficient to obtain the remain
ing seven or eight men before pc
remptory challenging was begun
by attorneys.
The third week of Wootton's trial
began today under the guidance of
A. A. Worsley, of Tucson, as spe-
cal prosecutor, replacing County
Attorney Robert n. French, who
was forced to take temporary
leave, at least. because of a growth
on his left temple which physicians
said might prove fatal. French was
planning to go to Los Angeles to-
morrow for surgical attention.
New Venires will be drawn in
multiples of 100 with the talesmen
reporting each day in that number,
or as many as it is possible to
serve from each 100 lot, it was inti-
mated. There also was some evi-
dence Judge Pattee in an attempt
to obtain a greater proportion Of
jurors would not allow those wait
ing examination to hear the exam
ination of those leading them.

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREI
Washington, Feb. 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson's proposal to create
demands of the union railroad
workers, if such is not provided by
law, will be laid before the heads
of the railroad corporations late
this week.
The railroad executives, through
T. Dewitt Cuyler, president of the
Association of Railroad Executives
were asked by Director General
Hines today to send a committee
for the meeting was not fixed but
for the meeting was not fieYd but
Mr.. Hines plans to have the con-
ference complete its work before
the general convention of union
committeeman meet next Monday
to consider the presidents settle
ment plan.
Officials We're uncertain tonight
as to the attitude which the rail
heads would assume with respect to
the voluntary tribunals suggested
by the president, who told the union
leaders in his communication prof
fering terms of peace in the wage
controversy, that he would seek the
cooperation of the corporations
which will receive their properties
from the government March /.
Public statements of many of the
rail officials in recent months have
indicated an uncompromising atti-
tude on the subject of increased
wages-uncompr unless the
companies were promised more
revenue through higher transporta-
ton rates.
In union circles, the belief was
expressed that delay would mark
the efforts of Mr.. Hines to reach
agreement with the rail officials.
Union leaders were skeptical of
success of the efforts and argued
that the committee of executives
which comes to Washington would
not have power to bind all roads to
the program outlined by the direc-
tor general Union leaders asserted
the corporations officials seldom
have stood together, and some even
refusing to enter into any kind of
a general agreement except as to
rate classifications.
The conference between Mr..
Hines and the committee from the
Association of Railway Executives,
therefore will bring to head an
entirely new problem aside from
the differences on wage questions.
Mr.. Hines, in asking the eXecu-
tives to name committee for the
conference, sent to the association
heaquarters in New York a COM
plete statement of details with
which the department will have to
deal, together with the presidents
letter to the unions. The director
general was understood to have eX-
planned the necessity for immediate
action and to have urged that the
executives prepare to go thorough
ly into the controversy.
