civil diSobedience demonstration, trouble
quickly developed with the police. Yes

The trees are private property and the
magistrate and officials objected.
Mob Outnumbers Police.
The crowd became a jeering mob.
Brickbats and stones were thrown at
the officers who finally were forced to
fire upon them, cutting great swaths OF
dead and wounded. The rife fire, ef-
.fectiye as it was, failed to over-awe the
Indians who forced the police back.
The police were hopelessly outnum-
bered by the mob, which steadily gath
cred strength, burned six police sta
lions, one magistrates office, and all
but one toddy shop in the city. The
city authorities anxiously awaited rein
forcements which would regain their
control. A detachment Of the Duke Of
Wellington's West Riding Regiment was
ordered sent from Ahmednagab, 100

Origin of Plan.
Although Hull-House is 40. years old
this year its history goes back still
further-to the early eighties when
Jane Adams, a frail girl just gradu-
ated from Rockford Seminary, sought
health through travel. She saw life
in London slunns and was deeply inter-
ested in Toynbee Hall, London's first
settlement center. Then. at the AL
hambra of the Moors, she and Miss
Starr resolved to dedicate their lives to
philanthropy.
The two young women opened their
settlement in the center of Chicago's
turbulent West Side. An old mansion,
once the home of Charles Hull a
wealthy landowner, was one of the few
buildings that sJNvived the Chicago IRE,
This became HG House.

CONGRESS HOPES
FOR EARLY JULY END
Adjournment by Mid-June Be-
Iieved Impossible With
Tariff Delay.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Leaders Of Congress are losing hope
that they can adjourn by the middle OF
June and are beginning to count on
early in July as the probable wind-up of
the present session.
Delays in the final stages of the tariff
are primarily responsible, though des-
perate efforts will be made to expedite
the measure. While some of the most
important schedules have been settled,
there are a half-doze items which may
be called major points in controversy,
namely, the provisions on cement, silver
and lumber, export debentures, the
flexible tariff and Tariff Commission re-
organization.
Efforts are being made TO reopen the
sugar schedule by concurrent reSolu-
ton. Such a measure might even be
introduced into the House, but it will
not get consideration in the Senate.
Senator Smoot who has charge Of the
tariff bill and who probably would wish
to see high rates on sugar, knows that II
the flood gates are once opened for more
current revision by means of concur
sitting throughout the Summer and the
Autumn. He feels that the sugar
schedule is closed and should not be
reopened.
Indications are that the Senate will
have plenty to do between now and ad-
journment and that there will be many
Investigations authorized which will sit
throughout the Summer months and the
Fall. Inquiries on the banking situation
by both Houses are likely to continue
after Congress has adjourned and there
will be Investigations into campaign ex-
penditures in the Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania primaries. The House has been
trying to investigate Communist activi-
ties, and 1t would not be surprising II
the lobby committee resolved itself into
a continuing investigation Of prohibit
ton and anti-prohibition organizations.

FIRMS SHOWN
BY SURVEY.

OF the GOT investment trusts
listed in a well-known manual Of
American investment trusts, only
40 have been in existence for five
years or more, a survey made by
the statistical department Of
British Type Investors, Inc,
shows.
This study, which was made on
the occasion Of the fifth anniver-
sary Of the British Type Inves-
tors, shows that Of the 607 trusts.
405 are Of the general manage
ment type. OF the 40 which have
been in existence since 1925, Al
are general management trusts.
Included in this number are a
large number of utility and bank
holding companies which are not
in the Strictest sense of the word
investment trusts" this survey
points out.
Considering all Of the GOT in
vestment trusts, however, only
IL in addition to British Type
Investors, have paid cash divi-
dends since 1925 on their common
shares and two have paid quar-
terly stock dividends. That makes
a total Of is trusts that have paid
dividends continuously for five
years, this statistical study re-
veals.
These figures point to the rapid
growth in the investment trust
movement in this country. this
analysis continues, and show Ito
what extent the American in
veStor has taken to the trust idea
within so brief a period of time
as five years."
