Faculty of Los Angeles Academy Seeks Stylish ex-Portland Man for tj 0,000 Owed Them. LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2. (Special.) Profesor J. Woodward Logan, presi dent of the Logan Academy of Fine Arts, and Mrs. Logan, secretary of the institution, who came here about two years ago from Portland,' have disap peared from Los Angeles, leaving mora than a score of creditors and debts ag gregating $10,000." Their whereabouts Is sought by members of the faculty, who are among the creditors. Professor Logan cut quite a swath on his arrival here from Portland. He lived in style, extensively advertised his business and catered to an ultra fashionable patronage. The academy was in one of the most exclusive resi dence sections of the city. An attempt to find tbe Logans In Southern California has proved fruit less and it is the belief of the creditors that Ihey are many miles from Los Angeles. They disappeared about a week ago and it was at first believed that they were away on a vacation. None of their friends or acquaintances appears to know anything of their movements. 1 Within 10 mlls of the City Hall, New Tork. there are 10 suburb en Lons Island thin afrtcuur la pursued on flelda aa sesssd, al building Jul frlcta. . V MI TRIES SUICIDE President Say Bills, Prepared In Hope of Veto, Would Have Cast Discredit on Congress Re sponsible for Them. (Continued From First Par.) House by Mr. Underwood, the Demo cratic leader, with the statement that It was a free trade bill and was not Intended to provide protection to the woolen Industry, but that the 20 per cent tax which was placed on raw wool Imported Into this country waa made necessary as a revenue measure by the prospect of a deficit In the Na tional revenues. : '."This waa a most profound error, made ' by Mr. Underwood, through a mistake in adding up the columns of the estimated deficit, as suggested, there Is in reality a surplus of 110, 000,000. Though this error was made known to him, the 20 per cent tax on raw wool was, nevertheless, retained. "The measure then passed as a free trade measure to the Senate of the United States, where, being: defeated, the Democrats and the so-called Re publican insurgents united In passing as a substitute the amendment of a bill prepared by Senator La Follette on the floor without reference to or Investigation by any committee. The bill went to conference and emerged after a further compromise providing a duty of 29 per cent on raw wool and an average of 49 per cent on woolen manufactures. Bill Unnaturally Conceived. "This compromise was adopted. Thus the bill is seen to be a compromise be tween avowed free traders and avowed protectionists, a bill conceived in an unnatural alliance, a bill, the product of political log-rolling for the purpose of securing its passage, a bill framed In ignorance of the exact effect of its operation and a bill that presentBonly those methods In Its adoption which had been generally condemned in the making of previous tariff bills. , Mr. Underwood and Mr. Clark, In the House, and Mr. La Follette and his as sociates in the Senate had earlier been conspicuous In the support of the measure, which was avowedly adopted for the purpose of securing sclentlflo information to assist in revisions of the tariff. Indeed, tbey earnestly depre cated any future revision without an accurate knowledge of the facts. "But now, Ui the opportunity pre sented by the special session and in a desire to 'play politics,' and gratify what was supposed to be a popular desire for the reduction of duties, they did not hesitate to adopt all the al leged defective methods of previous tariff revision which they had de nounced, and to reject as entirely un worthy of consideration the suggestion of delay until investigation, by an Im partial board should be had. Little Care Exercised. "No tariff bill within any one's recol lection has ever been' passed with so little care. They declined to wait 90 days to hear a report of a full investi gation on schedule K, which the previ ous Congress by a united vote of tho Democrats and Republicans, including the insurgents, had directed to be made on tho first of December. It is true that this statutory direction was specif ically made to a Tariff Board created under a bill which ultimately failed of passage, although supported by all the gentlemen who were prominent in the passage of this woolen bill. "Still that same Congress gave mo money enough to create a board to do the same work. It is a board of exactly the same personnel as that which the tariff commission would have had, for on it I have put three Republicans and two Democrats, and made it a non-partisan board in the sense that the tariff commission bill required. Is a board that in every respect is the same as the statutory tariff commission, except that it is not permanent, and has Dot the power to summon witnesses, and this it finds unnecessary, because it can se cure all the Information it needs with out doing so. . " Confidence Not Deserved. "It is the same board which Messrs. Clark and Underwood and Senator La Follette and his associates were de manding. I submit that the Congres sional history of this legislation, taken with the previous inconsistent position of Mr. Underwood and Mr. Clark, Mr. La Follette and his associates, is enough to show why the wool bill ought not to have been signed, and It is enough to convince the people of this commonwealth that the party in power In the Lower House and the combina tion which was temporarily In power in the Upper House, ought not to re ceive from them a vote of confidence. "Tho two other revenue measures were really lmprorrlptu. and were so loosely drawn that to have put them on the statute books would have been a serious reflection upon tbe Congress re sponsible for them. They would nave Droduced the utmost confusion in the collection of the revenues, would have made very different changes in the ratesifrom those which, the authors of the bills intended, and wort certainly not measures that any Congress would have been willing to be responsible for if they had been framed with a bona fldo purposo or expectation of making them into law. ' Veto Hoped For From Start. appeal to a supposed popular desire and with the nope tnai Dy me veio wnicn they had every reason to expect they might invlta popular hostility toward the Executive and the party of which he was the head.

"Never in the history of the Govern ment, I venture to say. have Important public interests been dealt with in such a light-hearted way, and with such ab solute ignorance of the effect of legis lation and with such willingness to sac rifice business Interests to political ex igencies as in the present legislation which has Just been defeated. Under these conditions, men of Massachusetts, it seems to me that the slogan of your party should involve a National cry and not be confined to mere state Issues.
