WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page u

or financial leaders household. Yet,
there are many who withstood these
blandishments,-beca they did not
care for the new environment Occu-
pancy of high Federal office in
volyes distinctly different service
than is met in private industry.
The forthcoming visit of Prime
Minister Mcdonald has been effective
in keeping an imposing percentage
of the diplomatic corps on duty in
Washington. Ordinarily the exodus
to summer resorts or visits to their
homelands began in May. There is no
secret that all foreign offices are
watching with the keenest interest
the developments dealing with the
conferences between American offici-
ais and the executive head of the
British government. While the
British officials are not expected un-
til fall the conferences involve con-
siderable preliminary study in which
groups of Senators feel they have
more than a passing interest. 1t is
believed that the Prime Minister'S
visit will have a far-reaching effect
on the influence of the American gov
eminent in world affairs.
No publicity has been given the
"cold water" treatment that govern
ment experts are rendering sanguine
induStrialistS. Reports are coming
into Washington indicating that opti-
mistic business men and even certain
groups of agriculturalists are extend
ing their plant and crop facilities in
anticipation of the benefits of high
protective tariffs. The government
councillors are discouraging these de-
velopments wherever possible. 1t has
been pointed out that the tariff
changes are so uncertain that nobody
but hopeless optimist would spend
large sums before the effect of the
tariffs on foreign competition is &C
tually determined. The government
is concerned over the effect that over
production will have on general pros
perity. Attention of producers is
called to the aftermath evils which
grow out of Over-production in price
cutting, wage reductions and in many
instances bankruptcy. Sober-minded
trade. association officials are cooper
ating with the government in passing
the word that caution must be exer-
cised in the speculation over tariff
adjustments. Already there is evil
dence that sentiment in the Senate
Finance committee for increases over
the house rates is gradually receding.
Opinion in Washington this week is
that there will be no tariff law en-
acted until late in November.

1903 HURT IN
BALL PARK RUSH
Cries of Fire Start Panic As
Players Tear Screens from
GrandStand.

Detroit-One hundred and three
persons were injured, four seriously,
in a panic that followed a fire under
the main grandstand at Mack park.
>semipro baseball field here. A cry of
Sire" started the panic and in the
mad rush to get out of the stand many
men, women and children were tram
pied, while others were hurt in jump
ing or being pushed over the fence
into the street.
The cause of the fire has not been
definitely determined. Park officials
denied any gasoline had been placed
under the 15-year-old wooden stands.
Preparations had been made to sprin-
kle a small amount of gasoline on
the diamond and ignite 1t to dry 1t
out for the game. A sudden shower
interrupted the plans. A large num-
Der of the injured spectators were Ne.
grOes.
The stand was Immediately behind
the home plate and was separated
from the field by wire screen. That
more were not injured was due to
the presence of mind of players of
both teams in tearing loose the
screen. Many were pulled over onto
the field to safety.
Several of those injured insisted an
explosion preceded the fire. One of
these, James Robinson, Negro fac
tory worker, said: ut all began with
an explosion There was just one
big boom and then fire everywhere.
My wife and / were high up in the
stand and she was trying to jump.
Everyone was pushing and screaming.
