Accused Of Inconsistency In
 Aluminium Tariff Criticism

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 23.- Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette was charged with ''inconsistency" in a state ment issued tonight by the Kansas City Journal, replying to q telegram Tn which the independent presidential candidate cited "Andrew MellOn's aluminium tariff as the basis for claiming $1, ,O00 offered by the news paper to charity if he would name one special privilege of government en- joyed by any person or group, except agriculture and labor.
 In response to the Journals offer, Mir. La Toilette had telegraphed last night from Peoria, Ill Andrew Mel Ions aluminium tariff is sufficient answer for tonight. Send check to the Salvation Army"
 The Journal statement tonight said the Wisconsin senator's answer was one intended to turn every householder and every housewife to l. aFOllette "beS cause they pay, perhaps three or four cents more for a dish pan than they would if the tariff bars were down, provided, of course, they would have the money Ot buy dish pans without tariffs on other American products"
 The Journal then cited figures said to be taken from a government, publi- cation to show that under the exist ing Fordney -McC Cumber tariff act, the rates on aluminium and certain aluminium products are two cents a pound lower than under the Payne Aldrich tariff act of 1909.
 The question is" the statement con tinued, 'who, if the schedules of aluminium in the Payne-Aldrich tariff net were not satisfactory to Senator La Toilette in 1912 are the lower schedules of the Fordney -McCumber act so offensive now?
 If the Republican patty is so vile an institution as Senator I.a Follett to be- lieve it is, why did he not join with Theodore Roosevelt to establish a new party in 1912, when his assistance might have meant the difference be- tween defeat and victory? There can be only one answer. Roosevelt had his day in 1912 and La Toilette is having his now"

 Remains At IA
lRy AssociatAd Press ]

NORFOLK, Va, .,Oct. 23.-No deaths occurred today among the injured sur vivors of the powder explosion on board the scout cruiser Trenton off the Vir- ginia capes Monday and the total stands at fourten. At the naval hospital, however, the condition of Seaman Thomas Howard Bailey, of Erie, Pa., was reported as precariOus. Little hope was held for his recovery. The re- maining five probably will recover.
 The naval board of inquiry, named to investigate the explosion in an eff fort to fix the cause, held two sessions today and heard the testimony of sev- eral of the injured. So far as could be learned nothing sufficiently definite to throw light on the mystery was de- velOped. Rear Admiral G. w. Will Hams, head of the board, was summoned to Washington this afternoon in con nectiOn with the explosion and it was indicated sessions of the body would be suspended pending his return, if not finally.
 The bodies of Ensign Henry Clay Drexler, Bethany Beach, Del, and Sea man Melvin r. Seaman, Brooklyn; :; Bennett Williams, South EastOn, Mass. George R. Cholister, Merchants ville, N. J., and Bernard B. Byam, Bris- tol, Conn.,, were sent to their respective homes today.

 AT EUROPEAN
 STEEL THREAT
Officials Understand Ad- ditiOnaI Trusts Are To
 Be Formed
Especial to The Age.Hsrald.) )

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Officials of this government are watching with much interest and some concern the ten dency of European industries toward consolidation. Information published yesterday from Germany showing that preliminary agreements have been drawn for proposed gigantic European steel trust, formed by steel companies of Germany France, England, Bel .giusn and ksnzulphurg uas aeeepted aa eridence that the industrial merger is underway. Department of eoEnmerce chiefs first noted the tendency in the Franco-G Gernan potash combine.
 Reports have been received that con- solidatiOns are contemplated along one or two other industrial lines, steel hay ing been mentioned, though. as yet there mas been no official information that the formation of a. steel trust had been started. It is assumed here that such a merger will take the lines of some of the American combines and that while there will be no formal merger of the companies, dinners will be held frequently at which the steel magnates interested in the combine will be able to keep the machinery moving.
 Some justification for the tendency toward consolidation is seen by com merce department officials It IS pointed out that the European steel companies labor at great disadvantage when compared with the industry in the United States because of the small ness of their home market. The war, in turn has taught Europe the economies of large scale production. Consequent ly, the natural turn is toward monop- oIy. An added incentive is given when the European nations realize that compe- tition in virtually all important indus tries will be exceptionally keen from the United States.
 Government officials feel that the monopolistic tendency is aimed in large measure -at the United States, though is in part based on the desire to con solidate for large scale production with its resultant economies.

ATLANTA, Oct. 23f--Allegel de mands that vfrtuaiIy hmount to the nroverbial -'pouiid of flesh" has caused 250 suits to be filed against Atlanta salary brokers.
 The plaintiffs are people who were in need of ready cash for an emergency, willing to assign their saralies to procure it and reaGy 10 pay anything within or near the legitimate bounds for it. The charges reveal that they were forced to pay uSurious rates of interest or threatened with having the assignments presented to their employers, which or dinarily means the dismissal of the bow rower.
 Persons seeking to obtain loans are compelled to sign blank forms which the broker later fills in with interest rates, penalties for not making prompt payments and other details without ap- proval of the borrower, it is said. The plaintiffs in their petitions seek to can eel the salary assignments, setting forth that they are illegal, usurious and in violation of the state law regulating loan concerns

 According to advices to The Age Herald Thursday night, the lists may. be gazed upon and copied for the in- formation-or secret satisfaction--of the gazer, but the question of wheth- CT any of the data contained there- in may be published is questionable.
 A dispatch from Washington was to the effect that treasury officials informally indicated that they were not entirely clear as to the publicity provisions of the revenue law, and that this point probably would not be definitely settled until judicial determination was had.
 A. W. Haley of Collector Snead's office said Thursday night that the office would make every effort to assist those seeking information about income tax returns.

Ap- parently General Feng never progressed beyond the great wall.
 Whether General Feng is acting in- dependently in tlIc present revolt or with the collision of the Mukden gov ernment has not yet been learned.
 Chineses reports received from Pek- ing late today said General Feng had assumed charge of the city and demand ed the abdication of the president as well as punishment of those responsible for the present conflict.
