CHICAGO, April High rent as a cause of immorality of women will be the subject of Inquiry by the Illi nois Senate whit* sluvo committee this week. “High rental exhausts a faifillyV ability to provide healthful recrea tion," said Lieutenant Governor O’Hara. “It compels many to live in insufficient quarters, dept Ives young girls of needed privat y and lowers their pride. It also exhausts the fam ily's vitality so that parents have n >t the opportunity to devote to their children the time and attention n* c.*s- sary to steer them clear of tempta tion.” Landlords wijl be summoned to toll of their profits, and experts will be heard on the actual valuation of *h.* property on whicfl high rentals are charged.

British news papers comment on S rotary of State Bryan's grape jui ■ dinner to the diplomatic corps in Washington, in honor of James Bryce, th*- retir ing British Ambassador. "Wishy Washington" should be the title > f the American capital, according to tin* Pall Mall Gazette, William Wal dorf Astor’s paper. "Official life in Washington und' r the Wilson-Bryan regime holds ou: little prospect of gaiety," Its * ditor’a says to-day. “We fear that the capi tal of the great republic is destined to be known as 'Wishy Washington.* Commenting upon the dinner, the Daily Express referred to Bryan policy as "teetotal diplomacy” and said that as a State Minister lie had no right to enforce his abstemious -Ideas on his guests. The diplomats, said the Express had no choice, since to refuse th? Secretary's invitation would have in volved them in the suspicion of in ternational discourtesy. Bryan, said the editorial, had no right to do, as Secretary of State, what he coil'd very well have done as a private citizen. The climax of the great Sunday, school attendance contest between, the Second Baptist and the First' Christian Churches will be reached 1 next Sunday morning at a joint so.---, sion in the Auditorium instead of in the church that won the contest.

HADLEY 1916 PRESIDENCY BOOM STARTED IN BOSTON Georgia, with $87,000,000 invested In 160 cotton mills whtoh operate 2,- 025,000 spindles, is vitally interested in the schedules of the Underwood tariff bill which govern the duties on cotton yarn. Leading Georgia spinners v iew the proposed schedules with no great en thusiasm. and, on the other hand, with no great fear. The effect on Georgia mills, spin ners agree, will, for the most part, be indirect. The proposed cut is heaviest on line yarns, and while dome fine yarns are. spun in the State, most of the output is coarser num bers. Eastern mills spin yarns. There seems to be a fear that the proposed cut in fine yarns will force American mills in general to turn to coarser products. This will greatly increase Georgia s competition, and may cause losses. At the convention in Boston just ended, representatives of the textile industry, gathered from all parts of the Union, said that a reduction in wues would follow any serious cut in the tariff. Georgia spinne/s say that decreas ed wages may be a result, but not immediately, ami that eventually any cut in wages is likely to be offset by a reduced cost of living. ALL AT SEA. “I do not believe any spinner in America knows just exactly where he stands under the proposed tariff schedules,” says A. F. Johnson, Pres ident of the Exposition Cotton Mills, which employ 1,900 persons and ope rate 60,000 spindles. “The proposed rate, however, seems to me to be a little below the factor of safety. I think spinners can stand some reduction from the present schedule, but I think the Underwood proposals a little too radical. "The Georgia Manufacturers Asso ciation is insisting that the rate be no lower than the schedule proposed by Louis Parker of Greenville, S. C., who offered a schedule to the Con gressional Investigating Committee in January, much below the present rate, but not as low as tlie Underwood bill proposes. EFFECT INDIRECT. "The effect on the Exposition Mills will be indirect. The competition in the finer yarns, where the proposed cut is greatest, will force American spinners into the coarser, which will increase our competition. “In general, yarns from U> to 20 are considered coarse, from 20 to 40, medium and from 4m on, fin**. “We spin from lu to 40. There an* mills in the East, and I believe there is one in Columbus, Ga., spin ning as high as 90. Thread manu facturers go even higher. “1 would favor a ‘moderate reduc tion, to be tried out for a reasonable length of time. If it proves the mills' can stand a greater cut, let it come. Of course, it may be that we can do well enough under the Underwood bill, it is all a new field.” BUYERS HESITANT. “Hesitancy among buyers, who are lidding off in the hope of lower prices, is the worst trouble the pro posed new tariff is bringing us,” says W. M. Nixon, President of the Atlan* la Woolen Mills. "We are unable just now to make contracts. Jobbers think the Under wood bill may lower prices, so they will not order. This is a serious matter, for we cannot regulate our uitput properly under such circum stances. It is important that we make no more than wo can sell, for goods held over cannot be sold at fair prices. "We do not believe that the tariff will affect our industry directly. 1* 1s possible that; it may affect it in directly, in this way: By JAMES B. NEVIN.

Air Tragedy Claims British Lieutenant izens, selected from the vicinity of the wreck, to asslK in clearing up the blame in e<> far as it might be cleared up. This board, after a fair inquiry, de cided that the wreck came about through a broken rail, and the road accepted the verdict as just and right. Not only has this greatly pleased the people affected by this wreck, which was a relatively small one, but it has made them more friendly to tlie road than ever before. They say they never will have any trouble get ting along if the road meets them in that sxirt of spirit always. It is understood that the Central proposes to adopt this plan whenever it can in the future, and there can be little doubt it will make for a better and rhore cordial understanding be tween the road and the public.
