Band of Crooks" He Charges
These concerns have been stealing
from the government and from the pub
lic. They are a band of crooks, and
am going to prove it. Instead of being
in their palatial Offices getting in peace
time II per cent and in war time 40
to so per cent, they ought to be in the
pen wearing stripes. They are re-
sponsibIe for the conditions which are
upon this country at the present time.
They are responsible for their share of
the fact that 100000 men are out Of
employment. 1t is their policy and
their influence, and the influence OF their
llk upon government, that is productive
Of ali the radical, extreme, irrational
opinions that find expression in this
country"
He criticized Charles NJ. schwab and
William NJ. Corey as men unworthy of
credence."
Senator Lenroot declared there was
not "the slightest excuse" for increas-
ing the personnel from 100000 to 120,
COO, which, he said. involved additional
expense Of S25,00O,000 to $30,000,o00.

sent to him by Woodrow Wilson, de-
claring that he must Withdraw the lat
ter's name from the Baltimore copven-
ton. Other chapters of the book detail
his conversation with Bryan and his
refusal TO undertake any combination
except the nomination of Wilson
In one of the chapters he details tho
financing of the campaign by Bernard
M. Baruch, and says Mr.. Barucn signed
checks in blank for tho expense of the
organization formed to put over Wilson
and the amounts were written in later
for whatever happened to be needed.
McCombs is most bitter in his
criticism Of william Gibbs McAdoo
during the campaign, during his term
of office and after his withdrawal from
government service, and marks him as
his arch enemy in the Wilson Admins
tration.
McCombs is said to have enjoined
his sisters, to whom he left the manu-
script, to secure the publication OF his
memoirs as viudication of his memory
and on no account 20 permit their sup
preston or abridgement.
The date for the publication as now
fixed will be early in the summer, pos
sibly on or before July l. 1t is eagerly
awaited by public men and political
leaders of both parties.

Lumber Interests Glad
To Confer With Hoover
Plans Of Secretary TO Cultivate
Intimate Contact With In
dustry Welcomed
From The TYibune's Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secretary
of Commerce Hoover has invited rep
resenta tives of the lumber industry to
meet him here tomorrow and discuss
means by which the government can
best serve that industry.
This move has been given the enthu-
siastic approval of the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association, which
declared in q statement that in the
past the department had had "only
a negative contact with our industrial
field" but under the new Admnistra-
tion there was every indication it will
get in direct and intimate contact
with the nations business problems"
"The lumbermen of the nation well
come this opportunity to come freely
to the Department of Commerce and
contribute all information and sugges-
tions that may be helpful in promoting
newer and better relationship be-
.ween the industry and the public,
feeling that if the industry is wholly
understood in all of it's phases a
healthier disposition toward it will be
manifest by the nation at large" saiG
1he statement.
"A tentative proposal of the Depart
assembling Of statistical information
through the facilities of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association,
and the same machinery will be used
so far as possible in disseminating that
information to the industry and to the
public"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23.-William
Jennings Bryan, addressing members
of the Jefferson Club at their picnic here
today to- lay proposed five e ways through
rise to success. They are a national
bulletin for the dissemination of uu-
biased political news and party opin-
ions, prohibition, reduction of taxes,
q proper aligning of monopolies and
disarmament as feature of future
world peace.
Mr.. Bryan's chief hopes for the
future Of the Democratic party lie in
the matter of taxation, he said. And
it is there, he said, that he expected
to see a new leader of the party arise.
eff the Democrats take firm stand
for the rights of the common man,

arrangements for the publication

Democratic convention and CAM

nomination and election of Woodrow

1t is the understanding here that
sensational disclosures of what Nc
Combs always regarded as ingratitude
on the part of President Wilson and
his advisers will be ventilated in great
detail, and that many hitherto sup
pressed incidents of significance in the
success of the Wilson Democracy will
be exposed for the first time.

Hoover Urges Publicity
In a short speech Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover urged that tho public.
tho press and the government work in
cooperation to keep business men of
the nation properly informed on topics
of vital Importance. One of tho most
important functions of the government,
he said, was the dissemination of cor

conditions.
We have heard great deal lately"
said Mr.. Hoover. about the activities
of open price associations. Yet every
single one of these associations that T
have been able to investigate grew out
of the righteous desire to secure ac-
curate information. These associations
can only be suspected of unfair prac-
tees when they gather information
and use it for the benefit of the few
against the many. The question Of
disseminating accurate information
reaches to the very bottom of our eco
nomic structure. When all is said and
done, it is one of the greatest services
that the government can perform.
THE commercial columns of our
great papers can WELD great field
OF service. far beyond that which any
government can provide, and that is
the field of public opinion, the field of
criticism, the elimination OF illegal
transactions, the support and COM
mendation of rightful courses and good
causes. journal that has performed
this service over 125 years has no
doubt performed a great public SER
vice.
President Harding began his address
at 1880 o'clock and finished speaking
at 11:l5 o'clock. He was the last
speaker on the program. His audience
rose and applauded him in farewell as
he left the room.
The President and his party left the
Commodore soon after midnight and
were taken to the Columbia Yacht Club
pier at Ninety-sixth Street, North River,
There they boarded barge and pro-
ceeded to the Mayhower, which shortly
afterward headed for the Narrows.
The police boat John F. Hylan escorted
the yacht down the river and out into
the bay.

TRADING LIFELESS
IN LOCAL MARKET
Pennsylvania Unaffected by
Threats Of Labor Trouble
on Its Lines

1t was another frightfully dull day
in the local market, but most of the
stocks stood up well in face of the
surrounding depressing conditions and
CIRCUMSTANCES. Threats of labor trouble
on the Pennsylvania Railroad lines had
not the slightest effect except to in
IIncnce further curtailment in the
transactions in that stock. which was
held relatively steady ut 37is. Other.
wise the dealings continued of the same
perfunctory type, with an altogether
meaningless price movement.
Only odd lot transactions were reg
istered in Y. G. l., Union Traction,
Electric Storage Battery and the Phil
adelphia Electric issues with mixed
price changes. General Asphalt was on
o9s points, but this was from a prev
tous sale made some time ago. Yves,
Jersey and Seashore on small sales fell
back oint to 80. American Stores de
clined a small fraction on limited deal
ings.
There was considerable discussion In
local banking circles Of the rumored un
disclosed financial difficulty in New
York. There were vague reports her,
but nothing definite could be learned. I,
was generally agreed, however. that
whcer theer was so much smoke ther,
must surely be some fire. IL was stated
however, that the trouble, whatever
nature 1t might prove to be, was en-
tirely confined to the metropolis ant
had no connection whatever with th,
local institutions.

Commodity Markets
GRAIN MARKET

Chicago. Aug. 10.-Wheat started
with September 1c to &c higher and
December 1l.c to 2Ac better. There
was a general rush of buying through
commission houses and offerings were
light until the advance ran into profit
taking by longs. Receipts inspected
yesterday were 2S7 cars; last year 163
cars. The cash market was relatively
firm, with prices higher compared with
futures Country offerings to arrive
were moderate.
The Government report, indicating. a
total wheat crop of 757 900 900 bush e
els, is regarded as decidedly bullish.
Interest in the market appears to be
broadening, with commission house
business Increasing. Minneapolis re.
ports a reduction of 45c to SOC barrel
in -four prices.
Corn started with September l2c to
~ higher and December nc to &C
higher. Trade was light, with no sell
Oats opened &c to asc higher for
September and ssc up for December.
Trade was light, with shipping inter-
| ests buying.
