Senate Commerce Commit

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A far = flung. Federal campaign
against venereal diseases, backed with
s27l 100000 in Government funds,
today won approval of the Senate
Commerce Committee.
The committee asked the Senate
to enact legislation permitting a Ma
tion-Wide drive against syphilis and
gonorrhea under the Public Health
Service.
Chairman Copeland Of the Com
merce Committee, who is a physician,
said the war against these diseases
must be fought on 48 fronts" in Or
der to avoid the present waste of
funds through sporadic. unconcen-
trated local action"
The bill provides Federal aid for
States, counties. health units and
other public subdivisions of the States
in establishing and maintaining ade-
diseases"
The Senate committee recommended
expenditure of $3.OOO,OO0, $4,000, ,00O
and sl200000 in the next three fiscal
years and s25 100000 annually for
each of the next 10 years.
The committee estimated the dis
eases now caused annual expenditures
of sl0,0O0,000 for blind persons and
more than $4,000 900 for insane per-
sons.
Hearings brought testimony that
physicians each year encounter 1.1l6.-
600 new cases of syphilis and l,037, 900
of gonorrhea.

The clipper in which I flew from
the islands," said Mr. McNutt, was
late getting to San Francisco. En-
gagements for me had been made in
Denver and in Indianapolis. 1 dis
cussed the question of transportation
with Maj. Gen. George S. Simonds. in
command of the 9th Corps Area, with
headquarters at San Francisco.
Il would have talked with Gen.
Simonds if had been going to take
a train and as matter of fact,
would much preferred to have travelled
by train for I wanted to get q good
sleep. But there was no train avail
able to get me there
Gen. Simonds later informed me
that arrangements had been made for
a plane to take me. Until I stepped
into it, had never before met Col.
johnson"
will you take the matter up with
the War Department" Mr.. McNutt
was asked
Il will certainly tell the facts about
the flight if Col johnson is in any
trouble over it." he replied.
Talks With Woodring.
Mr.. McNutt saw Secretary of War
Woodring at 1880 o'clock today, and
it is presumed he discussed the Col.
Johnson episode with the Secretary.
Shortly before that interview, War
Department officials said there had
been no change in the johnson trans
fer order, continuing to maintain that
the shift was not for punishment.
At 12:45 o'clock, Mr. McNutt visited
Secretary of State Hull.
When Mr.. McNutt ended his visits
to the cabinet officers, he told news
men he was merely paying his re-
spects. He said, with positiveness,
that no politics was involved" in Col.
Johnson's transfer.
Secretary Woodring declined COM
ment on the incident.
The high commissioner clearly has
much to tell the President and other
officials of the Government regarding
the situation in the Far East. He
made q special trip to Shanghai
which he suggested to the President.

D|V|NE'S HEAVEN
Down Payment Does Not
Mean Rivalry, Bishop
Grace Asserts.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The angels
sang interminably in Father Divine's
main heaven yesterday. loftily un:on-
cerned with the fact that they won't
sing there much longer.
For Bishop Charles M. Grace, trus-
tee Of "The House of Prayer for All
People" of Washington and Baltimore,
has made down payment of $4,000
cash for the $4,000 Harlem building
which is heaven"
And Harlem. with the exception of
Father Divine's angels, is pretty inter-
ested in seeing what's going to happen
next.
Bishop Grace, short, stocky colored
man. with shoulder-length hair, claims
he has 100000 followers. When he
made his down payment on heaven"
he was accompanied by a uniformed
chauffeur, uniformed footman and a
secretary
Harlem wonders whether he'll set up
a rival religious sect.
Father Divine Unworried.
But Father Divine seemed unwor-
ried. He told hundreds of his chant
ing followers. packed into the ancient
hall where the floors quivered with
rhythmic stamping, that anything
which happened was according to his
desires.
Now if any gentleman has pur-
chased this building" Father Divine
told the people who call him God. lit
was according to my own instruction
and according to my Endorsement, and
We are in no way offended or resent
the gentlemen buying the building if
he purchased it.
The building did not belong to nv
followers. At one time it. was leased
by them, but they discontinued to
lease 1t, so have been informed, and
they merely paid rent here monthly
until they could get some one to buy"
Father Divine's next main heaven"
one Of his angels said, will be estab-
Ished few blocks away within the
next few weeks.
And Harlem wonders what Bishop
Grace will call the old heaven and
what he will do with 1t.

MILL HEADS FIGHT
SLASH IN TARIFF
Any Concessions on Cotton
Goods in Pact With Brit.
ain Opposed.
3y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The Cotton Textile Institute, on be-
half Of about $500 cotton mills, op-
posed yesterday any tariff concessions
on cotton goods in the proposed re-
ciprocal trade agreement with Great
Britain.
ClaudiuS T. Murchison, president Of
the institute, declared the total num-
ber of persons dependent upon cotton
as their chief source of income has
been estimated at more than 12,000,-
O00"
He informed the Committee for
Reciprocity Information that "all told,
1900 establishments, employing 49,
546 wage earners in 1885, are deeply
concerned in the outcome"
THE present tariff on cotton goods
already is a comparatively low tariff" 1"
Mr.. Murchison asserted, adding,
Changes in tariff rates would imme-
diately cause unsettlement In our in
dustry."
"Our main concern is that ma
chinery for manufacturing cotton
goods in the United Kingdom is as
extensive as in this country. Further
more. the United Kingdom is especially
equipped for export trade and is today
the largest exporter of cotton goods
IN terms of value in the world.
Under the prevailing tariff rates
cotton manufacturers seem less we'll
protected than the products of nu-
merous other industries"
American wages in cotton mills, Mr..
Murchison said, were 145 per cent
higher than in Great Britain. He said
American wages averaged 421a cents
an hour in January, 1887, while the
average hourly wage in the United
Kingdom was 17.3 cents in 1885.
With wages las per cent higher in
this country and actual productivity
IN poundage of yarn only IS per cent
greater, the evidence seems conclusive
that British manufacturers have a
very decided advantage over Ameri-
can manufacturers in labor COSTS" he
said.
Even a small decrease in tariffs
may in many instances lead to an inn
portant increase in importations from
Great Britain" Murchison declared.
ANY impetus given to increased i'm
ports of finer yarns and fabrics" he
continued, would decrease the use Of
American cotton and increase the use
OF Egyptian cotton. The United King
dom is the principal user of Egyptian
cotton"
Mr.. Murchison said any tariff reduc-
ton on cotton goods would affect the
small communities of the North and
South, asserting that more than one
half the workers employed in cotton
mills were employed in towns of 10000
or less communities" he
said. wholly or largely dependent
. upon mill pay rolls for their existence. j"
Number of Unemployed.
Mr.. Murchison said more than 75,-
600 cotton mill workers were unem-
ployed and many of those working are
on part time.

is on not more than 40 per cent Of the
actual market value of the property"
Mr.. Colladay also condemned the
plan to fix the minimum real estate
rate, pointing out this is contrary to
the practice in most other juriSdic-
tions A great many States, he point
ed out, have found it necessary to pro-
tect real estate from the effects Of too
high a rate of taxation and have con-
sequently enacted statutes setting a
maximum rate at which it may be
taxed.
We believe" he declared, that
such legislation would be very much
in order, but We see no point whatso-
ever in establishing a minimum. The
Commissioners of the District are Ger
tainly adequately empowered to fix
the rate on real and tangible personal
property at the figure which is neces-
sary. AS a matter of fact. the Com
missioners are required by statute to
set this rate at whatever figure may be
necessary to meet budgetary require
ments."
Opposes Tax Board Plan.
Mr.. Colladay also opposed provi-
sion in the bill to create a board Of
tax appeals, pointing out that there
will be practically nothing for this
proposed board to do if the business
privilege tax is not continued or an
income tax enacted.
Another feature he criticised is q
provision requiring all persons holding
any intangible property belonging to
another person to file return listing
such holdings with the tax assessor
I'VE believe the inclusion of this
section in the act will result in very
definite hardship to the various banks,
trust companies and other investment
houses in the CITY," he said, because
it will place such organizations at
very large expense in making these
reports for the assessor"
The net result of such provision,
he pointed out. would be loss OF a
great deal of valuable business by the
financial institutions.
Chairman Nichols and two other
members of the subcommittee who at
tended the hearing-Representative
Wood, Democrat of Missouri, ana
Dirksen, Republican of Illinois-plied
Mr. Colladay with questions.
At one point Mr.. Nichols asked Mr..
Colladay if he would favor the Fed
eral payment toward District expenses
being based on the taxes the Gov
ernment would have to pay on its prop
erty in Washington if the Federal
Government could be taxed.
Mr.. Colladay said such yardstick
would give the District more than the
present $5,0O0,0O0 year it is receiving
from the Federal Government.
Next Mr.. Nichols asked if he would
favor legislation ceding back to Mary
land that portion of the District not
now owned by the Federal Government.
"I'll cross that bridge when come
to it." he replied.
Mr.. Colladays however, predicted
that some day in the future the Fed
eral Government might occupy the
District exclusively.

talked with Hyde Park, where the

Indiana, Mr.. McNutt said, still is

chance whatever for the Republicans
in the elections there next November.
When the story about Mr.. McNutts
raising question over precedence in
the matter of "toasts" in the Philip
pines-whether the high commission
er, as representative Of the United
States, should be given first place
was mentioned, he answered: The
whole matter was as impersonal as

Mr.. McNutt will be guest of honor
at a reception arranged by Senator
Minton of Indiana at the Mayflower

national commander of the American
Legion and dean of the Indiana Uni

The gossip has it, however, that ne
will leave his present post next summer
and return to the United States. He
may become president 70 the Univer-
