ed to put railroad holding companies
under the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission was made today
before a House committee by Mark W..
Potter former member Of the Inter-

everything Congress had intended.

the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and DR.. Walter M. w. Splawn, special
counsel for the committee, had testified

BY the Associated Press.
Matthew Woll, vice president OF the
American Federation of Labor. charged
before Senate committee today that
the Radio Commission exercised preju-
dice" in denying labor a cleared chan

NEW YORK, March 15.-The whirl-
ing roulette wheel would offer little at
traction to busy foreign exchange
dealer these days, even if he had time
or desire for such diversion.
This strange type Of expert is some
thing of mystery to his Wall Street
confereres. They can't quite under
stand, why a man can be an expert
mathematician, frequently a linguist
and thoroughly versed in business con-
ditions in many lands-and still find
practical every day use for all these
qualifications in a regular routine job.
But the routine of a foreign exchange
dealer would drive many gambler back
to the race track. Computing odds and
figuring out the dope sheet is easy com.
pared to the highly volatile work OF
trying to figure what the busy little
imps of the international money mar
kets may do.
But it Is the working hours that keep
many aspiring bank clerks from seeking
to carve out careers in the foreign ex-
change field.

FEW FILE RETURNS HERE.
Small Crowd Visits Revenue Bureau as
Deadline Nears.

A remarkably small crowd of persons
filed by the cashier windows at the In
ternal Revenue Bureau today to pay the
March IS installmentS on 1881 incomes.
At noon less than 100 men and wom-
en- were in the ofice of the deputy
collector for Washington, awaiting their
turn to file the tax blanks, despite the
fact today is Government pay day.
The crowd was said by officials to be
much less than that of yesterday, when
approximately $500 persons in all called
to file returns.
Await Final Check-up.
Whether the slim crowd was caused
by a general lack of income on which
to pay taxes officials of the bureau
would not hazard an opinion. They
pointed out nothing definite in the way
of the number of payers or the amount
paid could be learned until a check-up
has been made at the close of today's
busineSs-at midnight tonight.
At the bureau, Twelfth and Constitu-
ton avenue, in room No. 1902, where
Washingtonians are making payments
personally instead of mailing them to
the collector at Baltimore, three win
dows are operating to receive payments.
In addition, about 80 clerks have been
detailed to assist those who can't figure
out their blanks-and their number is
legion.
The cashiers and clerks will be on
duty until midnight in order to take
care OF the anticipated last-minute
rush.
Legal Provisions Stressed.
Ofacials again emphasized that the
income tax law provides: An income
tax return must be filed by every citizen
of the United States, whether residing
at home or abroad, and every person
residing In the United States, though
not citizen thereof, having a gross in
come for the calendar year 1881 of

HOWARD i. ITEMS
Approval of Amendments Fa-
yored by Budget Bu-
reau Is Voted.

(From the $50 Edition OF Yesterdays Star }
Resuming consideration of the In
terror Department appropriation bill,
the Senate today adopted three
amendments by Senator Costigan,
Democrat, Colorado, restoring the
amounts recommended by the Budget
Bureau in three of the items for How
ard University.
One amendment raised the amount
for salaries from $45o, 900 in the House
bill to S475, 900. Another increased the
House allowance for general expenses
from s225, 900 to s275,OO0. The third
amendment raised the amount for
building a heat and power plant at
the university from 100000 to the
budget recommendation of $460,000.
Allowance Restored.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee had eliminated the Heat and power
plant entirely in reporting the bill, but
the Senate several days ago, on motion
of Senator Smoot of Utah, restored
the House allowance of $500 900. Sem
ator CoStigan's amendment brought
the item up to the budget recon-
mendatiOn,
Shortly afterward the Senate adopt
ed another amendment offered by SEN
ator Hatfield, Republican, of West Vir-
ginia, increasing from 500, 900 to $4OO,-
900 the item for building a library at
Howard University and providing that
the 100000 should be Immediately
available upon passage of the bill to
expedite the project. This would be
enough to go forward to completion
with the library project, which was au-
thorized last year, but not yet placed
under construction.
Trammell In Opposition.
The proposed increases, particularly
for the library, were opposed by SEN
ator Trammell, Democrat, of Florida,
who said he had no criticism to make
of the administration of the university,
but was challenging the policy of Con-
gress "in making substantial contri-
button to a private institution" He
described it as a discrimination against
other educational institutions.
In advocating enough money to put
up the library building, Senator Hat
field gave brief history of Howard Uni
versity, praising the work it is doing
for the education of colored youth.
Senator Trammell said he had no
doubt the university had done good
work. but objected to these Federal
appropriations. He said that in view
of the present condition. of the coun-
try that the library item would be en-
tering into the field of extravaganza.

ASIAT|C MONSOON
WRECKS JAP ship
104 Men Missing and Destroyer
Sawarabi Drifts Upside
Down in Sea

Tokyo, Dec. 6.-LP)-The trim jap
anese destroyer Sawarabi drifted up-
side down in the East China sea
Tuesday, with l04 of her crew prob
ably dead, victims of the treacher-
Gus monsoon that blows off the coast
Of Asia.
The phenomena known as the
burst OF the monsoon, or sudden sea-
sonal change in the usually steady
wind, struck the Sawarabi and three
sister ships 100 miles off Formosa
island Monday afternoon.
The darkness descended on the de-
stroyers late Monday afternoon in
the midst of the storm, and the sis
ter ships-the Sanaya, the Kuretake
and the Wakatake-lost sight of the
SaWarabi as she wallowed helplessly
IN the troughs of the sea.
The three stood by the Sawarabi
and as soon as conditions cleared
early Tuesday, picked up l6 suryiv-
ors from the sea, one of whom later
died OF his injuries. The skipper
Lieut.. Commander Kengo Kadota
went to his death with his ship, as
lar as the naval ministry knew.
The cause of the accident was not
ascertained.

closed l cent lower and May 1-2 cent
lower. December barley closed l 5-S
cents lower, and May l 5-8 to l "a
cents lower.
Cash wheat was unsettled and av-
eraged a little lower than Monday.
Durum was in good demand and
firm. Winter wheat was nominally
strong with not enough in to make
market. Cash corn demand was
slack and offerings moderate Oats
demand was fair to good. Rye de-
maad was fair to good Barley de-
mand was slower and prices down
Flax offerings were small.
