III STEEL INVESTIGATION committee Fails to Reach Report The Chairman's Views Washington, July 19. After a ses sion lasting until midnight majority members of the House Steel Trust In vestigating Committee failed to reach an; agreement upon their report to congress,, the chief contention exist ing over the section of the report writ ten by the chairman, Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, on the absorp tion by the United States Steel Cor poration of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company in 1907. Representative Lit tleton, of New York, was reported to be particularly opposed to some of the "chairman's conclusions. Some features . of the report upon which the. committee are agreed in clude bills for remedial legislation, particularly that; amending the Sher man anti-trust law. . Thfs wlH declare all restraint: etra& to- be "unreason able" and piit uponc defendant corpo rations the burdea of proof that they are "reasonable. It'"-win also grant to individuals t,f& right to intervene In suits andto recover damages from corporations adjudged guilty of vio lating the anti-trust laws. The report will" disapprove of the so-called "Gary dinners" characteriz ing them as "just, as effective in dom inating prices as old pools and agree ments." The plan suggested by Elbert H.

CLOTHES WILL BE HIGHER. Prices Will be Advanced It is Reported. Next Year New York, July 19. The price of clcthes is going to be advanced next year. This increased tax on the al ready high cost of living is clearly indicated. ' merchants say, - by the prices named by leading producers of cloth, who have lifted the prices for the Spring of 1913 season from J, 1-2 to 20 cents a yard above those wliich prevailed last year when the values or the. past Spring season were an- nounced. How much the merchant tailor "or the retail clothier will charge tbe consumer because of the advances that have taken place can not be stated accurately because there is ev ery likelihood that the quotations just made will be further advanced before the season is very old. Cloth nrices are higher for the next SPFiteasfiP. agents say, because of condrtfons -over which tne manuiac turers have no control. They say that the most important element that brought about the advance is that the domestic wool clip this year is about 30,000,000 pounds smaller than a year ago. The price of wool has also gone up abroad, while mill owners say that the high scale of wages and the short er working hours will also have their effect on the increased price of cloth.

" Will Reply to Charges EMPLOY PRIVATE DETECTIVES Rosenthal Murder in New York Brings on Charges of Police Part nership With Gambling Frater nity Investigation Occurs. New York. July 19. Private deteci- ives were brought into the Rosenthal murder case today by District Attor ney Whitman. They were engaged by a committee of citizens who shared the prosecutor's evident dissatisfac tion with the lack of results achieved by the police in tracing the slayers of the gambler who was shot after making charges -of police partnership with the gambling fraternity. In connection with, the; bringing-4-n of these outside agencies of investiga tion, attention was called to what were declared to be lamentable omissions by the police in guarding against tne escape of Rosenthal's slayers Monday night and lack of properly directed activity since. It is declared that the story that Rosenthal was to be killed was in wide circulation in East Siiie resorts Monday evening, but that ir any report of it reached headquarters no measures were taken to protect the gam'bter. It was also comment eC on that six policemen nearby did noc fire a shot or blow a whistle to stop the murder party after the shooting, that the number of the "murder car " was reported fours different ways al: erroneous by as many policemen, while a citizen got it right; that it left to the district attorney to unco vex most of the evidence of importance so far available; that men known to have talked over the prospective assassina tion of Rosenthal the day before ic occurred, while on an , outing, either have not been arrested, or were takn and let go on small bail, or, in the cast of one, held only because the district attorney insisted upon it.

"It Mr Whitman desires to hear my cli ents he will learn of disclosures which will make the public gasp, when they are published." "Do the disclosures lead up to the police department?" was- asked.

Judge Rob ert W. Archbald, of the United States Commerce Court, charged with mis conduct by the House of Representa tives, appeared before the impeach ment court of the Senate today and was given until July 29th to answer the impeachment charges made against him. In the 35 minutes that he stayed in the Senate while the preliminary ar rangements for his trial were being made,' Judge Archbald took no per sonal part in the proceedings. His attorney, A. S. Worthington, of Wash ington, conducted affairs for him, aid ed by his son and associate attorney, Robert W. Archbald, Jr., of. Phila delphia. The managers on the part of the House are required to file their reply to Judge Archbald's answer fcV August 1st, and all pleadipgs in the case must be completed by August third. The time for the opening of the im peachment trial itself remains a sub ject of wide division in the Senate. Senator Bailey in the proceedings of the impeachment court today, assert ed his determination-to urge an imme diate trial. "The reasons why the case should speedily be disposed of are obvious' said Senator Bailey tonight. "Judge Archbald is sitting on the bench and he ought to be relieved at once of the charges against him, or of the duties of his judicial office. The Senate should act promptly on the charges made by the House, and I am going to insist on action before adjourn ment." Notwithstanding this attitude on the part of Senator Bailey, which is shar ed by Senators Reed, Simmons and some other prominent Democrats, the majority of the iSfenate, . including many Democrats, favor the continu ance of the case until November.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS EXTRAVAGANCE Severe Criticisms of Govern ment Methods By House Committee Expenditures AN OPEN DOOR TO GRAFT Should be Limited to Cities of Not Less Than 50,000 Should be Standardization of Con struction. Washington, July 19. Severe criti cism of the government methods of erecting public buildings is contained in the report of the House Commit tee on Expenditures in Public Build ings, which Chairman Cyrus Cline, of Indiana, submitted to the House today. The committee points out extrava gance and waste and the possibilities of fraud in, public expenditures) after making it .clear that its investigations vere made with no desire to discover any scjfndal in the public service. The committee makes the recommendation that government buildings be stan dardized and endeavors to point out what is considers the folly of maintain ing a big force of draughtsmen and architects to make plans for every building constructed by the govern ment. The reports finds - that since 1902, 721 buildings have been' erected and there are now pending bills for 750 buildings to cost an aggregate of $70,000,000. "If this keeps up," the committee says, "these will be 1,520 public build ings inside of lo years." The cost of maintenance alone will be $11,000,000 annually. The office of the supervising archi tects of the treasury is criticised. This office is - maintained at a cost of $3, 000,000 annually. It has had -no defi nite policy, the conaimjttee finds, and blame is attached to former Supervis ing Architect James Knox Taylor, for some of " the nistake8."that;bav'e beexir djscovered::The committee says the present system of awards is bad and should be changed. ' It' points to in stances where contractors have been the beneficiaries of "extras" and "bet terments" when Mr. Taylor dominat ed the board. Without making any charges the committee" says: "Under the present method of awarding " con tracts for the construction of public buildings there is an Open door for the grossest kind of fraud." The committee urges that members of Congress be less zealous in their efforts to get public buildings for their districts and recommends legislation making it illeal to erect a. public build ing in any city of less than 50,000 in habitants or whose post-office takes less than $10,000 annually. The prac tice of employing outside architects is condemned. In its comment on the administra tion of Supervising Architect Taylor the committee says, "Mr. Taylor can not escape blame." Space is given to the recommenda tions of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury R. O. Bailey and the commit tee endeavors to point out that- the erection of government buildings can not receive proper attention by tne assistant secretarv of th treasury be cause of the. multiplicity of duties as signed to that official.
