and the admiralty are Inaugurating a
vigorous policy for the Immediate search

customs official have been Instructed to
work overtime In getting the contraband
unloaded so the detained may proceed. '
While the Washington note of protest
against the detention of American vessels
doubtless had some effect, the betterment
in the situation probably I due In large

to the Improvement In the machinery for

PHILANTHROPYJIND WAGES
Federal Industrial Relation Com

Fending Iisuei.
IS REGULATION NECESSARY,
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 Whether re
sources of approximately a quarter of a
'hllllon dollars, controlled by four great
philanthropic Institutions, should be em
ployed without government regulation in
the promotion of enterprises affecting
public welfare, especially that of wage
earners. Is one -of the question which
the Federal Industrial Relations commis
sion will bring to the front liere during
Its forthcoming hesrings. Investigators
have for the last two week been prepar
ing data upon which to base the examin
ation of witnesses.
The four institutions are tlw Rocke
feller, Page, Cleveland (O.) and Raron de
Hirsch foundations, the latter represented
In this country by Jacob II. Pchlff. Their
chief officers have been summoned to
testify and will be asked, it waa said
today at the commission headquarters, to
tell what policies govern the distribution
of their charities, their sttltude toward
labor problems: the nature of their
schemes for social betterment: In sum,
to disclose In dealt the character of all
their activities.
Manr-Nlried Issues.
In view of the fact that the Immense
resources of these institutions were
chiefly derived from the Profits of Indus
trial enterprises, and thst they are now
employing them In many ways affecting
the conditions of wage earners. It waa
the desire of the commission. It wss ex
plained, to determine whether their pol
Icle were In every respoct consistent with
the public welfare. It waa pointed out
that the Institutions were under no legal
obligation to make their operation pub
lic, and that It was a pertinent question
to determine whether auch Immense re
sources were potentially dangerous, when
not subjected to government supervision.
In raising this question no implication
waa Intended, .It was explained. It was
Imply the purpose of the commission to
call attention without-prejudice, to the
power which these Institution were In a
position to exercise, rightfully of wrongly,
especially In , (hoping public opinion.
Whether, after the fact have been
brought. out. auch Institutions shsll and
can he regulated, will be left to congress
after the commission has reported. It
was pointed out that In England, the so
called "charity trusts" are required by
law to make public reports. i

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1T.-(!-pecl !l Tele
gram.) In view of the manner In whl-h j
the puraf-ruph In the indisn appropriation
bill Just pushed tha house, is phrased, with
reference to Indian warehousra, the re
port of the board of Indian commirslon-
era becomes of paramount Importance. I
This report, made last lecewber, has
direct bearing. upon trie qucat-:i wnether
Omaha should be discontinued as a ware
house station for Indian supplies, of first)!
instance, showing a It does that thi
board has a clear conception of Its
duties. .
Tho report With reference to the exist
ing warehouse states: "We believe that
the action of congress In reducing the
number of permanent warehouses from
five .to three will not result In economy
or fireater efficiency in this branch of the
service. On the contrary, we apprehend
this wtlon will operate to decrease coin
petition for supplies for the Indian EcrvU-e
as It will result In greater comparative
cost for temporary warehouses and make
Impossible the retention of a trained and
efficient force to handle this business.
"The experience of the Indian bureau' is
an argument for the retention of a suffi
cient number of warehouses to keep com
petition among the bidders alive and the
arbitrary reduction in the nupiher -of
warehouses, in the absence of any reliable
data bused upon nn investigation, we be
lieve will be found to have been a mis
take."
The conclusion ot tiie board of commis
sioners rout hod was lht the 'old law as
to tho number of warehouses, should be
re-enacted, but their location Hhould be
left to the secretary of the Interior.
