Ambassador Harvey, although he takes his at the table ostensibly merely as an observer, is looked upon by each party to the various controversies as a potential ally and as one who may have the deciding voice as arbitrator or friend If the council divides into factions.

It is generally hoped that the Ameri can ambassador bears instructions to be more than a reporter of the pro ceedings, that he w.ll as the occasion arises have constructive suggestions to offer.

An attack on the administration generally and on the hoas ways and means committee particularly for Its handling of the tariff and tax question, is made in a statement today by Representative Kelly, independent Republican of St.

Paul, author of four tax revision bills which have been endorsed by organizations farmers and others. Kelly charged that the "machinery of government has been commandeered by a little clique ignorant of the of economies, whose bund obedience to Wall Street is responsible for the stupid, selfish, short-sighted policy that is retarding oar prosperity and creating profound distrust and discontent among the people." Declaring that most members of the house want to carry out th people's wishes with regard to taxation and other economic questions, Kelly says, a 'little dominant minority has tied down the safety valve of free discussion until an explosion impends which will scatter the Republican party from Maine to California." 'The president has assnmed more power than any of hit predecessors, Kelly continued, "and tells congress what bills to pass and what not to pass. Bills concocted at secret conferences are introduced without being referred to responsible committees. The president's advisers seem to think it possible for this country to lift itself by its economic bootstraps and vaguely promise that a half billion dollar gift to the railroads which in some mysterious manner is not to increase taxes will restore prosperity. They would do better to busy themselves with lowering rates, taking off the transportation tax and seeing to it thst the railroads are run, efficiently with a minimum of waste, but that Is not likely so long as executives can depend upon the administration for lavish gifts.

Msy Come Home to Roast Washington, August 7. Congress is warned in statement Issued today by Congressman Frear, a Republican member of the ways and means committee, that if it dodges responsibility in tax revision or seeks to deceive itself or the people with false promises "the chickens will come home to roost." "Those who blindly demand impossible things are not helping the situation," said Mr. Frear, "and those who demand ha.ne that will result in the passage of hybrid, ill-considered bills, to raise 14,000.000,000 in annual taxes are rendering no public service." The Wisconsin representative discussed the several suggestions made by Secretary MeUon for tax revision and concluded with the announcement that be was not offering to solve the problem but trying to show "how far the secretary of the treasury in bis several public announcements has failed in the effort to simplify the situation."

Two Heroes of Drama. Standing out of the night of horros and tragedy which resulted from the wreck of the steamer Alaska last eve ning on Blunt's reef, are two incidents, one of devotion to duty performed by Captain Harry Hobey, the sole deck officer, who preferred to go to his death rather than leave his command, and the other of unparalleled heroism on the part of Captain 8.

C. Whether or not Captain Hobey was crushed by the falling funnel of his ves. sel or whether or not he went to his grave clinging to the bridge of bis command is not known, but it is now certain that the hulk of the Alaska forms his last resting place. His body was not recovered with the 12 brought here by the coast guard this afternoon. The unwritten law of the sea was again fulfilled.

Captain Snoddy, on watch himself, owing to the danger-ousness of the night ordered his course changed, and summoning his entire crew on watch, sped for the reef at full speed.
