BOTH BILLS ARE HOPELESS Joint Commission Will Recommend Measure Next Session Last Ob stacle to Adjournment of Con gress Saturday Removed. WASHINGTON, May 20. The ap pointment of a Currency Commission to be composed of nine Senators and nine members of the House, will be provided for by a bill which Senator Aldrlch will introduce in the Senate tomorrow and. if this Is passed by Congress, It will comprise all of the financial legislation that will be en acted at the present session. This course was decided upon today by the conferees on the Aldrlch-Vree-land currency bill at a final conference, which demonstrated beyond question that there is no hope of getting an agreement between the Senate and House on an emergency measure. - Will Adjourn Saturday: Undoubtedly this decision means that leaders in Congress are determined upon a final adjournment of Congress next Saturday. No question before Congress at the present session has received such earnest attention as that of passing a bill which would provide against finan cial crises of the character experienced last Fall. The efforts to legislate, how ever, were complicated from the start with demands from individuals who de sired to bring about a general revision of the laws to regulate banking and amend the whole currency system of the Government. These demands were made In both branches of Congress, and the bills reported in each house in conse quence were more or less compromise measures. Xo Chance of Compromise. Conferees on the part of the Senate and the House failed to get down to a discussion of the details of the two bills finally sent to the conference. The sen timent was such that in either body there appeared to be no chance of compromise and It is said that, If Congress were to stay In session a week longer, neither could be induced to yield. In .view of all these circumstances, the conferees reached the opinion that "It would be better to pass a bill providing for a com mission on which there is no difference of opinion. It is not expected that either the Senate or the House will discharge Its conferees and. If no report Is ready from the commission at the next session of Congress, an emergency measure may then be agreed upon for immediate action. SENATE PASSES OMNIBUS BIUj Provides for $35,000,000 in Public Buildings Many Increases. WASHINGTON. May 20. The Senate today passed the omnibus public build ing bill. Inserting not only the numer ous amendments Ktivoreated by the Sen ate committee on public buildings and grounds, but also a few proposed by individual Senators. As passed the bill carries a total of about J3o.000.000, of which J6,000,000 is for building con tracts. The larger appropriations for new buildings added by the Senate In cluded: Riverside, Cal., 125,000; Ever ett and Walla Walla, Wash.. $140,000. The limit of cost fixed for the sub treasury building in San Francisco was increased from $375,000 to $625,000. The Senate amendment providing for a new office building for the departments of State and Justice to be used Jointly was retained, the ultimate cost of which is limited to $2,500,000, and it is hinted that if this item is not retained the bill may be allowed to fall. The amendment appropriating $400,000 for purchase of an embassy building in Paris to be used as an office and resi dence, also was accepted by the Senate. Trademark. Treaty With Japan. WASHINGTON. May 20. The Senate committee on foreign relations today voted to report favorably on two treaties with Japan for protection of American trademarks, patents and copyrights in Manchuria and COrea, and Japanese trademarks, patents and copyrights in the United States.

One Car Dynamited and Explosives " Found Strewn on Streets Re ward Offered by Johnson. CLEVELAND, O., May 20. Barring a possible 'squabble over the detailB of the settlement, the indications at midnight were that a peaceable end of the strike of motormen and conductors against the Municipal Street Railway Company will come tomorrow. The conferees at that hour still were in executive session, but according to reports emanating from the room the chances seemed to be that an amicable agreement to arbitrate the matters in dispute would be reached be fore adjournment. Incipient cases of attacks upon cars were reported late in the night, the most serious of which was the dynamiting of a Loraine avenue car at West Sixty-fifth street. The trucks were demolished and 30 passengers were panic-stricken. None, however, were Injurd. In other sections of the city a few cars suffered from stone-throwers, but altogether the night passed without a recurrence of the extreme violence of the day past. . A patrolman found fully 100 big dyna mite caps scattered along the cartracks at Bridge avenue and West Forty-fifth street, at 2 o'clock this morning. The caps were placed so close together that they would have completely wrecked the first cars that struck them. Fifteen min utes later he found a bottle of nitro glycerin lying in the gutter at Bridge avenue and West Forty-third street. Mayor Johnson offered a reward today for Information leading to the arrest and conviction of rioters. Cars were run today on practically a full schedule. THEY STILL FIGHT Evidence That Paper Manu , facturers Compete. EAGER TO MAKE DEFENSE New Witnesses Will Prevent Report on Paper Trust This Session. Jobber Says Mills Quote Varying Prlecs. WASHINGTON, May 20. The inves tigation of the wood-pulp and print paper industry was not. concluded today by the special House committee, and the chances for a report being made to Congress in time for action at this session are not as bright as they were a few days ago. A number of paper manufacturers were amined today, and the committee was 'ormed that several others are due from he West tomorrow. The testimony today embraced both the increase of the. cost of the body that goes into the paper and the increase In the rate of wages. Ar guments against the removal of the tar iff on wood-pulp and paper also were made. Middlemen Crowded Out. William ' B. Littleton, of the Antietam Paper Company, Hagerstown, Md., job bers of news print paper, denied, that his firm was selling agent of the International Paper Company, as has been charged. He said his company was not the selling agent of any manufacturer. The lowest price he ever bought paper at was $1.60 delivered in Hagerstpwn. This was some time in the nineties. The witness said that in September, 1907, he had been informed by the Inter national Paper Company that., when Its contracts with Jobbers expired, the com pany was going to eliminate the jobbers and sell Its product direct to news papers. Mr. Littleton told of one instance where he had been selling paper to a publisher at $1.60 per hundred. When his contract expired he quoted a price slightly in excess of this amount, but the Manufacturers' Paper Company made a quotation at $1.57 and secured the con tract. Finds Quotations Vary. "So you are finding 4t difficult to main tain that advance in price?" interposed Chairman Mann. 1 Mr. Littleton said that since this ac tion of the International Paper Company he had been buying paper of jobbers and also from mills. He read a number of quotations that had been furnished him for the purpose of supplying orders, these quotations coming from mills and jobbers AGAIN VENTS ANGER Rayner Vainly Pleads Cause of Colonel Stewart. SENATE TURNS DEAF EAR Maryland Senator Compares Roose velt to Absolute King and Threat ens to Arouse Public Opin ion Against Him. WASHINGTON, May 20. Senator Ray ner again today ma-e an appeal to the Senate for a votts on a resolution "au thorizing and requesting" the President to appoint a court of Inquiry to investi gate charges against Colonel William F. Stewart, Coast Artillery,- stationed at Fort Grant, Arizona. Rayner declared his belief that the committee on military affairs' would not report his resolution during the present session of Congress, HE'S SORRY; OH YES, HE'S SORRY! and asked that a modified resolution he had prepared be acted upon by the Sen ate, without the intervention of the com mittee. Objection being made, further consideration of the resolution was post poned. Rayner said he called up his resolu tion because he was satisfied there would be no action this session by the commit tee on military affairs. He referred sar castically to the delay In sending the papers in the case from the War Depart ment to the Senate, and then reminded the Senate that meanwhile Colonel. Stew art was on the heights of Arizona, "at an altitude as high as the President in a cli mate as cold in Winter as it was hot in Summer. His companions were festive and convivial, consisting of a caretaker, a teamster and several Government mules. He continued: Sarcasm Poured Forth. "If the President is satisfied, every body ought to be satisfied. Why not? What right has anybody to be dissatis fied with anything that satisfies the President? Who would be guilty of such a treasonable act? The King cannot com mit a wrong, and therefore the President cannot commit a wrong. Congress may make the gravest mistakes. Courts may err. Human judgment at the zenith of its strength may arrive at faulty and erroneous conclusions, but the executive never can blunder. Infallibility is one of his attributes. When he has finished with the prosecution and there has been no testimony allowed to be produced on the other side, he is so well fortified and in trenched that you cannot assail him." He asserted Colonel Stewards right to a hearing, to be confronted with the hos tile witnesses and to have counsel. . He appealed to the Senate to vote on his resolution, saying that, if it refused, the only relief would be for Colonel Stewart to die in captivity. Then the country might come to the same conclusion as England came to in the case of one of her bravest Admirals. He predicted that, if the Senate did not act, public opinion would, and continued : "It will take the unfortunate officer and transfer him from the custody of the President into the presence of the people, and, trampling with an iron, heel upon the desperate experiment of authority that the President had used, it will give to his victim, humbte, unimportant and unpretentious as he may be, the right to be heard in self-defense, a right not only accorded him by the laws of his land, but a natural right that God has given, which it should not lie within the power of any potentate in the universe to de prive him of if there Is any conscience or humanity in the heart of man or any justice left upon this earth." While Mr. Rayner was speaking, he was inuterrupted by Warren, chairman of the committee on military affairs, but de clined to yield, and In retaliation Warren objected to the further consideration of the resolution. A parliamentary question having been raised as to the right of the Senator from Maryland to proceed, the Vice-President declared that the motion to consider the resolution would have to lie over until tomorrow, except by unani mous consent. Warren finally withdrew his objection on being assured that he could ask such questions as he desired. 'He .then de clared that, as chairman of the commit tee on military affairs, . he had done everything possible to secure information concerning the inquiry into the case of Colonel Stewart. He said he did not ob ject to the sarcastic remarks from the Senator from Maryland. Rayner continued, saying he was satis fled there would be no report on his res olution by the combine before adjourn ment. He finally offered a modified reso lution, authorizing and requesting the President to proceed with the inquiry, to which Lodge objected, and It went over until tomorrow. He also moved to dis charge the committe from further consid eration of the original resolution, but the motion was not acted upon. Club for Women, of Congress. WASHINGTON, May 20.

SUEO TRUSTS AS SECURITY MEMBER OF FAILED BROKER AGE FIRM INDICTED. Taken From Sanatorium to Court Against Advice of Physicians. More Than 100 Complaints. NEW YORK, May 20. Upon the find ing today of an indictment against him by the Grand Jury, Thomas A. Mclntyre of the failed brokerage firm of T. A Mc lntyre & Co., was arrested on a warrant charging grand larceny in the first de gree. He gave $25,000 bail and was re leased. Mclntyre' s arrest was made In the face of vigorous protests by his physicians at the sanitarium, where he has been a pa tient since shortly after the failure of the firm. After his arraignment before Judge Rosalsky in the General Sessions Court and the furnishing of his bond by a surety company, he was taken back to the sanitarium. Mclntyre's indictment was the out growth of an investigation into the af fairs of the Mclntyre firm in the United States District Court. The specific charge against him is based on the claim of Ellen Sedgwick of Hartford, Conn., that a certificate for B0 shares of United States Steel stock, which she had placed with the Mclntyre firm as trustee, for the purpose of having a portion of the stock transferred to her nephew, was put up as collateral by the firm for a loan which it had negotiated on its account with the Metropolitan Trust Company. Assistant District Attorney Train said tonight that there were more than 100 complaints against the Mclntyre firm in his office, Involving between (300,000 and $400,000 worth of securities turned over to the firm by investors. These securities can not now be found.
