Drop Formal Clothes.

You could notice 1t in many little
ways The usual starch of formality
was missing. Frock coats were rare.
Only five Senators wore tails and even
fewer members of the House Most
wore soft collars and business suits.
One Senator (Neely of West Virginia)
wore yellow one.
People outside of Washington will not
appreciate the significance of this fact,
but all old-timerS mere will. Ordinarily
more than half the Senators and a third
of the Representatives dress up for the
opening day.
The Congressman noted the infor-
mality of the Roosevelts at the White
House and desired to follow suit. They
noted Mrs. Roosevelt in plain clothes
sitting in the gallery with Sistie crawl
ing over her lap.
But when the President came in, he
was all dressed up in formal attire.

The brief communication shows
that France and Great Britain are in

Under a convention as viewed by
France, it was understood, German

These conditions will mask the

disarmament might be enforced:

ALTOONA, Pa, April 6.-The body
of Second Lieut.. John Leland Meal
lister, rs, who leaped from his falling
Army plane, was moved to the Dun
cansville airport today, pending word
from Federal authorities.
Farmers who saw the crash near
Altoona late yesterday said the pur-
suit ship was losing altitude as it sped
through this mountaining region and
at height of about 200 feet the pilot
stood up and jumped.
The farmers found the body of Nc
Alister, resident Of Mccormick, S.
c., in tangled underbrush about 80
feet from the wreckage of the plane.
Local flyers could give no reason for
the crash. They said visibility was
fairly good"
The officer was on his way from
Langley Field, Va. to Cleveland. He
had been flying the mail from Cleve-
land to Chicago for the past month,
but had been relieved.
The pilots log stated he left his
home port, Langley Field, yesterday
morning and made stops at Boiling
Field and Middletown, Pa. The Jast
entry was pm, on leaving Middle
town. 1t is believed he was ferrying
the empty ship to Cleveland for use
in the mail service.
BY twist Of fate yesterday was the
third anniversary of McAlister's get
ting his wings. A letter revealed he
had made forced landing in bomb
ing ship at Marion, Ohio, about two
weeks ago. He also had a compli-
mentary ticket to an Altoona theater,
given him when he was in Altoona

Healy testified the price ran as

and is now down to about 50 after

In addition to supporting the mar
ket, Healy testified, Cities Service,
through its subsidiary, Cities Service
Securities Co., used $40, 500 900 to buy
stock from Henry L. Doherty, head Of
the company, on which he made a
profit of more than $l9,000,000.
After that. he added, the company
created a new class of stock, which
Doherty bought out of his profits.
with the result that after he had sold
certain Of his shares and made profits
of more than S19,0O0,000, he ended up
With bigger percentage of control of
the Cities Service Co. than he had
before he made the profit"
During Healys testimony Ferdinand
Pecora, committee counsel, disclosed
that when he first became connected
with the committee the first inquiry
he intended to make was into Cities
Service.
After starting it, he said, "it seemed
quite apparent to everybody that an
inquiry into the Cities Service Co. at
that particular time might be at
tended with very, very serious conse-
quences in the tottering stage of the
economic structure in January and
February of 1888"
The National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce yesterday addressed a
brief to the committee, expressing
~unalterable opposition" to what it re-
garded as theory expressed in the
bill that "all industry should come
under Government bureaucracies."
It asked elimination of sections re-
quiring corporations with listed stocks
to give the commission regular de-
tailed information of its activities,
regulating the solicitation of proxies,
requiring disclosure of the holdings of
any person owning more than 5 per
cent OF the outstanding stock of any
corporation and prescribing penalties
for violations.
Aside from the question of the
constitutional power of Congress to
so extend governmental supervision to
business in general, the chamber be-
heves that there is no justification for
governmental interference with the
normal functions of private manage
ment," 1t said
If long-recognized principles are to
be discarded and all business is to be
supervised by governmental agency.
then, in effect, all business is being
put into the category of the railroads.
II control of certain features of
corporate management is to be given
now to Federal agency, it is likely
to be but the beginning of the usurpa-
ton OF other functions of manage
ment."

Ihey agree to return all strikers
to work as quickly as production
schedules permit and to re-employ
without discrimination between union
or non-union workers.
10 Per Cent Wage Raise.
The company agrees to increase the
wage scale 10 per cent. The en-
ployes had asked a 20 per cent raise.
The new rate is so cents an hour for

but the matter of the loans did not
come to light at that time.
When Henderson testified before the
committee he denied that he had been
a partner in any of Gove's stock
transactions. but conceded that he
had told Cove that he ought to share
in some of the profits if any were
made.
The obligation. according to Hen
derson's testimony, was represented
by notes which he signed at the Dis
trict National Bank on october 10,
for $4,000. and on November 10 for
80 00O followed by a direct advance
of $4,000 December %. 1880.

What makes their feat more din
