In this connection, the Senator called attention to the investigation started in the House some years ago by John iSharp Williams, which re sulted in the finding of a defective plate, and in the fining of the Car negie Steel Company. This and other armor plate, said the Senator, had been furnished the Government at a profit of approximately 50 per cent.

At the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy Department it was ascertained that approximately 8,000 tons of (Mass A armor plate had been let to the trust at $454 per ton for the dread nought Pennsylvania, and 27.542 of Class A plate had been let to the same organization for the building of the dreadnoughts Arkansas, Nevada, Texas and Florida.

All Goods Made by Monopo lies on Free List. WASHINGTON, May 19..—Senator Kenyon of Iowa to-day introduced in the Senate an amendment to the tar iff bill which provides that when H concern has been declared by the courts a monopoly within the mean ing of the Sherman law. the products controlled, or substantially controlled, by it shall go on the free list. It will be the duty of the Attorney General to notify the Treasury De partment when a concern has been declared by the courts a monopoly, and it will then be mandatory on the Secretary of the Treasury to relieve of all duties articles controlled by the monopoly. Such a law would cover prod ucts controlled by Standard Oil and a number of monopolies.

Foreman's House Wrecked With Dynamite on the Farm of James T. Anderson. MARIETTA, GA., May 19. Cobb County officers to-day are searching for unknown men who early yester day wrecked with dynamite a ten ant house on the farm of James T Anderson, eight miles from Ma rietta. The house was occupied by a negro foreman. It is believed the same men are responsible for this as for other dep redations in this county in recent months, all directed against negroes in efforts to drive them from this section. Heretofore one store was burned near the Kennesaw Marble Company’s plant and several notices were posted in conspicuous places warning negroes to leave. The per petrators became so bold that special watchmen were employed at many factories and mills in and near the city where negro labor is employed. Mr. Anderson’s foreman was one of those warned to leave and did so. but a month ago was prevailed on by Mr. Anderson to return. Early Sunday occupants of the foreman's house were thrown from their beds by a terrific explosion. No one was injured, as they were sleep ing at the far end from where the dynamite was set off. Investigation revealed that the per petrators had driven in a buggy to within 30 feet of the house apd. with a long pole, had pushed the dynamite under the building, setting it off with a. three-foot fuse. They drove off be fore it had time to explode. The Sheriff was notified and hur ried to the seen? with a posse and dogs, but the buggy tracks could not be followed. Citizens here are indignant over these continued depredations and have started a fund as a reward for the apprehension of the guilty parties, who are supposed to be low-class white men. ^ Mr. Anderson declares that his fore man is an industrious negro who does not interfere with outsiders and sel dom leaves the place.

Forecaster Predicts Scorching Weather for Atlanta Follow ing Mercury Rise. ”1 by see the papers, suh.” said the Atlanta colonel, "that the weather man prophesies mint julep weather.” Forecasts by C. F. Von Herrmann. Section Director of the United States Weather Bureau. Monday announced that Atlanta in in the path of an ap proaching heat wave. Local temper ature, which Sunday registered .at its height 88 degrees, is on the rise. Tues day will see a temperature of 90 de grees, Air. Von Herrmann said, and advances above this will follow rap idly. Monday morning at 7 o’clock the thermometer registered 72, but grad ually rose ot 89 degrees. "Summer weather's arrival in At lanta is rather late this year, how ever." remarked the forecaster. "As a rule we have 90 degrees during the first five days of the month. With the advent of the 90s in temperature summer is generally understood to be on in full force. The weather will continue to have maximum degrees of 90 and above until in October. The last day for a maximum of 90 de grees in October during th*» last dec ade was in 1911, when we had no more high temperatures after the third day.” Hot All Over East. Mr. Von Herrmann's report for Monday read as follows: "The weather is generally clear over most of the country east of the Rocky Mountains, excepting that showers fell during the past 24 hours at a few stations on the North Pacific coast and in the St. Lawrence Valley. The temperatures in the East are high, especially in the eastern portion of the cotton belt. "A moderate disturbance exiats tins morning over Colorado, with the at mospheric pressure below 29.65 inches at Denver. This is accompanied >y generally cloudy threatening weather over the entire country east of the Mississippi River. Temperatures are generally above 40 degree* this morning except at a few places. Condition* are favorable for thunder showers to-night or Tuesday.” Despite the approaching hot gath er. the nights wul continue to be cool, according to Mr. Von Herrmann "Atlanta enjoys the coolest nights during the summer of almost any other Southern city. I would advise everyone to fi: up sleeping porches. A good rest at night, unannoyed by heat, will enable a person to withstand ihe hot day* much easier than otherwise. Let Ice Water Alone. “Above all, people should not drink cold liquids during the summer. They are most destructive to the vitality. "The best way to handle children, especially babies, in hot weather is to put as few clothes as possible on them and then let them alone. Do not wrap hot, stuffy blankets around the babies or put .q^fety pins next to their bodies. Place them on the floor, where they will come in contact with nothing that would induce warmth. Babies' suffer from heat more than grown persons.” President Thinks Belief Tnat Americans Regard Them as Inferior Riled Orientals.

That President Wilson believes the root of the whole trouble lies in the national pride of the Japanese was indicated at the semi-weekly news paper Cabinet meeting to-day. The President has concluded that Japan is not so much annoyed by the Webb bill as at the intimation that Americans do not wish to meet the Orientals on equal terms.
