Republicans Ask Suggestions
in Framing Document.

The text Of the Republican city plat
form, which Republican candidates and
the sub committee on platform has had
under consideration for several days, is
being shown to prominent business men
for approval and suggestions, it was
learned today.
The candidates and committee dis
cused the document in a meeting at Re
publican city headquarters last night and
will go into 1t further tonight, but it is
not expected to be made public until
some time next week. 1t is understood
that it covers in very specific way
many municipal problems and as it
stands contains no endorsement or crit
icism of the present or past city admin
istrations. The Democratic platform was
principally an attack upon the admin
istration when Samual Lewis Shank. Re
publican candidate for mayor, was mayor.
Mr.. Shank Will be host to the Repub-
lican workers of the Second, Seventh,
Twelfth and Fourteenth wards on his
lawn at 3547 East Washington street to-
morrow evening" The weekly meeting
Of the South Side Republican League
will be held in the South Side Turner's
Hall this evening.
Democrats are continuing the organl-
zation of Ralston-for Mayor clubs in
precincts all over the city.

Music that would have delighted the

a choir of 400 voices and from an or
chestra
The body, removed from the Hotel We
suvius. where it had lain in state, was
placed on a richly decorated catafalque
before the altar, where it remained after
the ceremony.
One Of Caruso's closest friends. another
tenor, De Lucca. sang during the serv-
ices. Several times his voice faltered, but
he finished while many in the great
building sobbed.
Thousands who had failed 10 gain ad-
mission to the church were packed about
the wide area way leading to the en-
trance. These thousands were able TO
hear only an occasional sound as the or
chestra walled the dirge. but they re-
mained quiet and bareheaded, waiting
their chance TO pass the catafalque fer
farewell
The program for the funeral provided
that the body should be taken to the
cemetery this afternoon 10 be laid in the

passed the amended Administration sub
stitute for the Norris bill providing for

Corporation to finance the expectation Of
American agriculture products
Senators sought to shape the substitute

with their individual economic and
financing views by the Introduction OF
numerous amendments designed to alter
In some particulars the path which the

making advances TO banks and exporters

Europe Amendments also were offered
by Senator'S OF the agricultural States,
who endenyored to assure themselves
that the individual farmer-the man with
the plow, for whom legislation is being
perfected actually participate In the
promised benefits.
AS the bill is drawn, the War Finance
Corporation would not be authorized to
deal directly with individual producers
In making loans unless the producer was
also an exporter but several Senators are
insisting that more effective financing

mitted to borrow from the corporation

TRADE TO OBOOM,

ration Has ROseate Vision
of Business.

WASHINGTON, Aug 4-"Business Is
going to boom soon," Eugene Meyer de-
clared today.
Meyer is head Of the War Finance
Corporation, the clearing house through
which the Administration hopes to
straighten business affairs for the march
to normalcy.
He said:
Consider these factors:
Bond prices are more firm. Congress
Is about to take action on tax revision
Prices Of many commodities have hit
bottom long since and now are on the
up grade. Cotton, for example, adj
yanced s. a bale the other day. 1t is
true the price again fiuctuated, but there
are indications that all prices are becom-
ing more and more stabilized.
Perhaps the biggest single factor
which now would contribute toward q
return to prosperity would be the re
sumption by dealers and manufacturers
jobbers and wholesalers, Of the custom
Of carrying substantial stocks of COM
mOditles to met the normal needs of the
public Stocks now are being carried
on Z hand to mouth basis.
Merchants and business men are afraid
to buy because they fear prices Will

the current year reduction of the tax
rate is impossible Should the tariff bill
be delayed past Jan. /, an additional
$70,000,000 in internal taxes would be
necessary, he said.
