SEVEN INQUIRIES ON TAPIS Estimated Cost of Investigations Placed at Over $100,000. nasmngxon, u. c An era oi in vestigation probably unprecedented in the history of the house will be ush ered in when congress reassembles in January. Members of the house will divide then- attention among seven distinct investigations scheduled to be gin immediately after the holidays. They are : Inquiry into the so-called money trust; hearings before the ways and means committee preliminary to tariff revision by the next congress; the probe into the New Haven-Grand Trunk railroad in New England: the grand jury's hearings on general trust legislation; the inquiry into the rami fixations of Jthe so-called foreign, and domestic shipping trust by the mer chant marine committee; the Glass subcommittee's investigation incident to the framing of a currency bill, and the inquisition into the affairs of the office of superintendent of insurance in the District of Columbia, with tes timony to be taken not only in Wash ington, but also probably in New York. The insurance inquiry will begin with the District of Columbia commis sioners on the witness stand. These committees will endeavor to complete their work by the end of the session. It is estimated the investi gations will cost in the aggregate more than $100,000. FANATIC HijRLS BOMB AT NEW VICEROY OF INDIA Delhi, India Baron and Baroness Hardinge, viceroy and vicereine of India, narrowly escaped assassination by a native fanatic while making their ceremonial entry into Delhi, the new imperial capital of India. The splinters of the powerful bomb, which killed one native attendant and injured another, penetrated the back and shoulders of the viceroy and he was also wounded in the neck by the screws with which the bomb was filled and which passed through his helmet. The doctors who removed the metal splinters from the wounds declared it was marvelous that the viceroy es caped fatal injuries. Lady Hardinge immediately after the explosion asked her husband if he was hurt. He replied: "I am all right. Goon." Lady Hardinge then said: "We cannot. There is a dead man behind." The elephant on which they were riding halted and the viceroy tried to stand up, but reeled and fainted and the officials who gathered around had much difficulty in removing him from the elephant's back. The howdah in which he and Lady Hardinge had been seated was blown to matchwood. Wilson Somewhat Fagged Out, Princeton, N. J. "I feel like a squeezed sponge," exclaimed Presi dentelect Wilson when he returned home after an all day's session in Trenton with the state board of par dons, over which, as governor, he presided. uovernor wuson s attention was called to the recent discussion of par don systems in Arkansas and other states, and he was asked whether he preferred that the state executive have full responsibility or that the pardoning power be lodged in a board consisting, as in New Jersey, of the governor and the chancellor and six judges from the court of errors and appeals. Though the governor has the power of vetoing any application, his affirmative counts no more than that of the other members. "I like the New Jersey system bet ter," said Mr. Wilson. "I admire verr much this court, as it is open minded and certain to do the right thing." Motive for Attack Mystry. London The motive for the attempt on the life of Baron Hardinge, viceroy of India, is a mystery on which it will be impossible to hazard a guess until t is known whether the miscreant is a Hindu or a Mussulman. It is not known whether the bomb-thrower has been arrested. Intense indignation is expressed in Calcutta and here over the incident. Fears are expressed that it may have been a manifestation of Moslem resentment at the British occupancy of the ancient Mohammedan capital of India. Fight by Shoe Trust Starts. Washington, D. C Solicitor-Gen eral Bullett filed with the Supreme court the government's bi ief asking for the reversal of the decision of the Massachusetts Federal court dismiss ing four of the five counts in the in dictments returned under the Sherman anti-trust law against the United Shoe Machinery company. This brief marks the opening of the legal fight over the criminal prosecution of the alleged trust. For "Non-Partisan" Commission. Washington, D. C. Senator Poin- dexter, of Washington, after refusing to give regard to the reports of the old tariff board when the various tariff bills were under consideration in the senate last session, has now prepared and will introduce a bill creating what he terms a "nonpartisan, high-class Federal tariff commission."

Commerce, ' Homesteading, Trans portation, Public Works, Health, Etc., Improve. Washington, D. C. Hawaii has en joyed greater prosperity and progress during the last vear than during any other in its history, according to Gov ernor Frear's annual report, submitted to the Secretary of the Interior Fish er. The preceding four years had been notable for their prosperity, says the governor, but this year witnessed even greater strides forward. In commerce, homesteading, im provement in class of immigrants, bet terment of transportation facilities, construction of public works, public health, administration and public school facilities there had been marked advance. That the United States reclamation act be exended to Hawaii is one of the governor's recommendations. He says there are large areas which should be made available by irrigation for settlement by Americans in colon ies of considerable size. Imports and exports of the islands during the lyear totalled $84,100,000, an increase of $14,680,000 over the preceding year. The increase was chiefly in trade with the United States, which constituted more than nine-tenths of the total. The increase in exports from the territory was 12 times as much as that in the imports, being $13,500,000 against $1,180,000 The exports totalled $55,400,000; the imports,' $28,700,000. Governor Frear reports that the percentage of homesteads taken by Americans and other Caucasians has been much larger this year than usual." During the last two years the de parture of Japanese steerage passen gers exceeded the arrivals by 489. PRESIDENT-ELECT AT HOME Staunton, Virginia, Gives Noisy Welcome to Wilson. Staunton, Va. Virginia enthusias tically welcomed home Governor Wil son, the eighth of her native sons to be chosen president of the United States. From the moment the presi dent-elect crossed the state line at Alexandria in the afternoon, after he had a ten-minute glimpse of the na tional capital, until 9 o'clock, when he reached the little parsonage where he was born 56 years before, the recep tion was one of great enthusiasm, noisy demonstration and spectacular display. Escorted by cavalry, militia com panies and a torchlight procession, the governor and Mrs. Wilson motored through the streets of Staunton to the home of Rev. A. N. Frazer, pastor of the Presbyterian church. In this home Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, father of the president-elect, lived in 1856. "It is fine to be back again, ex claimed the president-elect, as he stepped indoors. Suffering from the effects of his cold, he returned immediately to the room in which he was born to rest. Staunton was not alone in celebrat ing the arrival of the distinguished visitor. Fireworks shot across the skies and red lights threw a festive glare at all stations along the route. Mrs. Wilson stood with her husband on the rear platform of the train and enjoyed the demonstration. Soldier of Fortune Dead. Reno, Nev. With both hands cut off and his skull fractured, Max Von Buelow, said to be a descendant of Count Von Buelow, the famous Ger man general, was picked up on the railroad track near the state line and died two hours later in the railroad hospital at Sparks. Von Buelow was a globetrotter and soldier of fortune. Several years ago he married Miss Christine Plummer, a wealthy wo man of Pueblo, Colo., and they trav eled through Europe in regal style. Von Buelow was highly educated. Simple Ceremony Preferred. Washington, D. C. Inauguration ceremonies in the past have been too spectacular and pretentious, in the opinion of President-elect Woodrow Wilson. Governor Wilson talked with William Corcoran Eustis, recently chosen chairman of the inauguration committee. "The thing has been overdone in the past," said the gover nor to him. "I wish you would have the ceremonies as simple as may be consistent with dignity and order." Snow Filers Quit Work. New York Three thousand snow pilers and truck drivers employed in removing snow and ice from the streets of New York City quit work as a result of the rainfall. The men 'simply couldn't stand the rain," ac cording to reports received at the office of the street commissioner. Beef Cattle Are Scarce. Chicago Fewer cattle by 281,298 have been received at the Chicago stockyards this year than in 1911, ac cording to figures given out here.

Indexing Extraordinary, Indexers have been responsible for many errors, but possibly the strang est example of curious indexing oc curs in a law book. Turning over Its index, a correspondent of the London Chronicle noted the entry: "Best, Mr. Justice, His Great Mind," and refer ence to the page brought this: "Mr. Justice Best said be had a great mind to commit the witness for contempt of court." Had to Know the Time. "I understand," said the judge, "that yon atole the watch of the doctor who had just written a prescription for yon at the free dispensary. What have yon to say to this charge?"
