Representative Cooper, of Texas, today introduced a hill to exclude newspapers and magazines from the malls unless the names of the owner and editor or of ficers, directors and stockholders be printed on its front page. "There ie no agency in the Government so powerful as newspapers to affect the politic and policies of the Government and the morals of the people." explained Representative Cooper In discussing the bill. "This being true, the people have a right to know who their teachers are and what inflence may operate upon them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Disagreeing with the published views of Andrew Carnegie with regard to the steel schedule of the tariff, Charles M. Schwab, ex-presldent of the United States Steel Corporation, gave valuable testimony be fore the House ways and means com mittee at the tariff hearing today. While he practically admitted that the conditions which existed nine years ago would have permitted a reduction in the steel schedule at that time, he said that the cost of every item, entering into the manufacture of steel rails had Increased to such an extent that the conditions should be changed to permit of tariff re duction. 'In five years there will not be a Bes semer steel converting works left In the United States," Mr. Schwab predicted. Bessemer steel will be of no use. The same Is true of structural steel as well as rails. They will' all be made by the open hearth' process of manufacture. Costly changes In the construction of the plant will be necessary to make the Im provement in the method of manufac ture." Mr. Schwab also declared that within ten years the "open hearth process would be superceded by the electric pro cess, which was being perfected In Ger many. "These changes in the process of manufacture Increase the quality of the steel." he continued, "but they also slightly Increase the cost of production." Mr. Schwab said he was not In favor of any change in the tariff on steel and steel products. A moderate change would not make material difference," he said, "but a radical change might do considerable harm." He admitted the tariff could be taken off iron ore without effecting the value of the Mesaba ore of this country. Mr. Schwab stated that the Bethlehem Steel Company, of which he is president, imports all of Its iron ore from Cuba. IK MARVEL DIES AT HOME AUTHOR OF BACHELOR REVERIES OF AND DR. JOHNS.
