The Redwings took a 10-O lead in the first five innings but Wilson blew up in the sixth and Williams and Schoff his successors, were pounded heavily by the Bisons.

mittee chairman, announced that
when the District Committee goes
into executive session he will offer
a free fare amendment, coupled
with a proviso that there shall be
no increase in adult fares for one
year. AS the bill now reads it
Stipulates that the companies
must maintain the present fare
for two years. The two-year pro-
viso is vigorously opposed by the
companies and endorsed by Gen
eral Patrick, of the Public Utilities
Commission.
General Patrick explained that
it would take the commission 10
months to two years to make
valuation of the properties after
the merger. General Patrick had
previously advocated half-fare for
school children, but Representa-
tive Mcleod is holding out for

While the District Committee
had up the merger bill, the House
itself today made ready at last
to begin consideration Of the
District of Columbia appropria-

the Appropriations Committee.
Indications were that Repre-
sentative Simmons would be able
to call up the District budget late
this afternoon. following final
disposition of the bill giving the

passenger buses traverse more

Helfin asserted that If woman

send her to the penitentiary. A
poor man committing similar

But in this case, Heflin said a

his money, procured his freedom.

dents flexible tariff powers, but
Administrator leaders were ready
to battle before permitting this
elimination.
Building Costs
The outstanding rate features
were the tremendous increases
given farm products and the ad-
vance in duties on building mate
rials. Opponents of the bill esti-
mated that increases in tariffs on
cement, soft lumber, brickS-all
of which were taken off the free
list by the Senate-would add
5000, ,0OO,0 900 to the cost of con-
struction in this country next
year. Friends of the bill naturally
ridiculed these estimates, declar
ing there would be little or no
effect or construction costs.
Some industrial products suf-
fered by the Senate's revision.
Aluminium and pigiron rates were
SlaShed below existing law. This
may have been due to the fact
that Senator Joseph r. Grundy
(R0 of Pennsylvania, Soscalled
"granddaddy Of all lobbyist"
fathered the items or to the fact
that Secretary Of the Treasury
Andrew w. Melons family was
.0terested in the aluminium in
oustry. Whatever the reason. the
Senate centered on these two
items for Slashes.
Some Demands Denied
With all the protection
granted, some industries were
held to free trade despite long
and constant battling by their
representatives. The oil industry
tried six times to obtain a tariff,
but the Senate six times said no.
The cattle. tanning and shoe in
dustrieS bulked their demands
and lost four times in a row
The coal industry was laughed at
when it sought q tariff. The
Shingle and soft log interests
saw the Senate eliminate House
rates. putting both items on the
free list.
The sugar interests were
helped. While the Senate re-
fused to go as high as the House.
it did increase existing rates.
These were the important rates.
but there were hundreds upon
hundreds of other items in the
bill, with the Senate generally
raising House farm rates while
reducing House industrial rates.
The Senate will pass the bill
sometime today. There will be
hours Of oratory before the final
vote and one clash over sending
the bill back to committee, with
instructions to eliminate all in
duStrial rates. This would be
tantamount to killing the bill,
so there appeared little likelihood
Of the Senate taking any such
action. If it does, one years
work Of Congress will be wasted.

Hebert (R0 of Rhode Island and
Borah (R0 of Idaho.
The protest was dismissed light
ly by Parker's friends who said
it was a case of a woman ap-
pearing as her own attorney with
out having legal qualifications,
losing her case and blaming it
on the judge" It was explained
that Miss Speers was not
lawyer but had acted as her own
counsel.
Her protest was the only one
lodged against Parker. The file
sent to the committee by the De-
partment of Justice, it was an,
nounced, contained nothing but
praise and endorsements Of Judge
Parker.
Miss SpeerS, who is president
of the Speers Sand and Clay
works, with offices in the Trans
portation Building, said the
ability of Judge Parker was not
to be disputed.
She charged, however, that
Judge Parker had been influenced
in her case by promise Of support
for appointment to the Supreme
Court.
Mention Oil
1--WE have reason to believe that
one of the influences brought to
bear on this court was the prom
Use of this particular appointment

her protest declared 1T is GER
tain that the appointment was
at that time anticipated. We
believe that oil influence was
brought to bear in his appoint
ment to the circuit court Of ap-
peals and that the same influ-
ence was urging this adminiStra-
ton to make this appointment" ."
Miss Speers severely criticized
the decisions of Federal circuit
courts.
She declared these courts were
becoming autocratic" and that
justice was only a gamble" for
little corporations. She said
Judge Parker's decision forced
her company to pay 1920, 900 into
the court for distribution among
oil men.
Under the affirming of these
two DEGREES" she added, George
D. Pratt (brother of Herbert T..
Pratt, president of the Standard
Oil Company of New York; would
receive an amount in excess Of
$l60,000 when his actual invest
ment was only claimed to be
$50, ,0O0."
Senator Overman, subcommit-
tee chairman, announced later he
would investigate the woman's
charges.
