CYRUS H. McCOEMICK MAKES
HOT ATTACK ON REPORT
Chicago March i Cjrus II. McCor
ntlek. president of the International Har
vester Company. In a formal statement
to-night, vigorously attacked the Bureau
of Corporations of the Department of
Commerce and Labor for Its report on
the organization. He asserted that the
government body "lacks the courage and
candor unequivocally to tell the truth,"
and that It had been manlfesUy unfair
In basing Its findings on the goverment
testimony only. That the bureau report re
fers to certain things at all, he declares,
demonstrates the animus which Inspired
It.
"The Bureau of Corporations Is not a
judicial body." said District Attorney
James II. Wllkerson to-night. "Since
the Bureau of Commerce and T.abor sup
plied the evidence on which the present
suits against the Harvester Companv
are being brought, It cannot be expected
that the Bureau of Corporations would
do other than support the Department
of Justice. 1 cannot pee that Mr. Mc
cormick's charges are justified."

Justice Charles C. Garrison, of the New

latest Information received bj Senate
leaders. Is to be Secretary of War.
These two places, together with the
secretary of Agriculture, were the only
ones about which there, has been doubt
among Congress leaders. At & lite hour
to-night leaders were still in the air In
regard to the President-elect's selection
for the agricultural portfolio.
It was learned definitely last night
that the Secretarvshlp of War, Inter
ior and Agriculture have been filled by
Mr. Wilson with men whose names have
not up to this time figured In the specu
lation of Cabinet possibilities It was
after this information had readied
Wuehington that leaders In Congress
bestirred themselves and discovered to
their own satisfaction that Commis
sioner Lane his been invited to accept
the Interior portfolio, and that Justice
Garrison has probablj accepted the Sec
retarvshlp of War
As to the i-ecrctari of Agriculture,
however. Mr. Wilson s friends In Con
gress still were up a tree

Mr. I-ane. who is slated for Secretary
of Interior, has earned tho reputation

They were preparing to-day to move

their great display.
Thousands In Parade.
So to-day 7.000 women will take part in
a unique parade to voice to the incoming
administration a declaration of equal
rights and their disposition to fight for
the recognlUon of these lights until an
amendment securing them has been
passed by Congress
Grim though the weather may be, the
determination of the suffragists Is still
ntore grim to impress upon the incoming
adminlstraUon the necessity of fitting
upon the suffragists' band wagon with
all possible haste compatible with dig
nity. To-day's demonstration is tho biggest
ever attempted for the cause of equal
suffrage In this country. It has been
planned in all its details with great care.
For two months the suffragists have
labored early and late for the success of
the event.
Consternation Asasws; SasTmaclste.
The suffragist camp was thrown into
consternation last night when it was
realized that after nil their efforts the
women wero without the guarantee of
adequate police protection for the parade.
The sufTrage leaders declared that Presi
dent Taft and Secretary of War Stlm-
ron liad sidestepped their request fcr
troops either In fear lo bring out soldiers
in connection with a suffrage parade or
eUe in hcsltanc) to use them for police
purposes. Likewise they failed in efforts
to obtain troops from the national guards
of JCew Tork and Fennsvlvanla who are
here for the Inauguration.
Kven the brigade of cadets. 400 strong,
from the Culver MUitatry Academv, of

Miss Paul and a committee called on the
Secretary jesterday morning, and he In

should have ample protection, and he
would provide troops if the protection
could not be obtained from the Wash

Br JOSEPH P. .MM5.
When the House recessed, at 11 4u
o'clock last night, the conference report
on the District appropriation bill agreed
upon early In the afternoon had not been
called up. The Senate still was In ex
ecutive session, and the House conferrees
were compelled to await action by that
body bfore taking the agreement into
the House. The Senate received tn re
port during Its executive session, but did
not act upon It. The House will agree
to the report shortly after reconvening,
st S"Su o'clock this morning, and the Sen
ate will take similar action The bill
probably will be signed bv the President
some time to-dav.
As the bill comes from conference. It
carries the Oallnger public utilities and
the La Follette anti-merger bills -.irtu-ally
in their original forms, and the
amended Jones-Works excise bill with
one material change. The excise meas
ure, as agreed to by the House early
jesterday mornlg. Is further amended by
the conferees to permit retail liquor es
tablishments to keep open until 1 o'clock
In the morning Instead of until midnight.
The restrictions as to the location of
salons remained as in the agreement, re
ported fully in these colums jesterday
mornirs.
The conference agreement, besides car
rying the amendments above mentioned.
carries the House provision for the pa
ment of the Interest and sinking fund on
the District debt. Whether this shsll he
paid enUrely from the revenues of the
District or hair acn by tne unmet ana
the Federal governments Is left to the
decision of the Comptroller of the Treasure-,
who Is directed to make the payment
"according- to previous acts of Con-
The bill also carries the Senator Will
lam Alden Smith amendment in a modi
lied form. The original amendment pro
hlblted the display of more than one sale
or rent sign qpon'a property In the Dis
trict, and required, in addition to the con
sent of the owner, an annual license fee
of K therefor. This was modified to per-
mlt three signs to be wlsplayed upon
each propertv. with an annual license fee
of Sj for the three, the owners of the
property to determine the mans of pay
ing therefor.
House Conferee. Back. Dorm.
With the exception of the clause relating
to the payment of interest and sinking
fund on the funded debt, the conference
agreement represents a complete DaciC'
down on the part of the House conferees
on all Important Senate amendments. In
the last analysis, however. It represents
a sweeping victory for the House con
ferees, as the conlerence measure m an
Its substantial features Is almost iden
tical with the District bill as It was
originally reported to the House by tne
Appropriations Committee and before it
was mutilated by Representative Ben
Johnson and his friends.
Virtually the only concession which the
Senate conferees made to the House
managers, except in the case of the in
terest and sinking fund pavment, was

ferees made a determined stand, and the
Senate managers receded.
Items for two new high school build
ings, S300 000 for the new Central High
School, and J150.CO1 for a new JI Street
(colored) high school, stricken out of
the original bill in the House and re
inserted by the Senate, remain In the
conference measure, trovision ror ine
reclamation of the Anacostla flats also
remains in the bill.
Davidson's Salary Increased.
The tacit pledge made Superinten
dent of Schools Davidson when he
came to Washington, that his salary
would be Increased from 15,000 to
36.400, Is redeemed in the conference
agreement. The schools, however. Jose
the additional janitor provided -in the
Senate measure, and the J4.I00 appro
priation for motor vehicles for the
schools also goes by the board.
Tive appropriation for the condemna
tion of small park areas is a compro
mise. For this purpose 123.000 Is al
lowed under the agreement. Instead of
J15.090 carried in the House bill or
1:5,000 carried by the Senate measure.
Among other Items In dispute be
tween the two houses which remain In
the conference measure are:
Office of the Commissioners Increase
