A barrage of bills abolishing federal trade and tariff commissions, setting up a department of national defense, granting Independence to the Philippines, ordering marine evacuation of Hati and authorizing investigation of the navy department has been prepared for introduction in the senate by Senator King of Utah. King's proposals will be only a fraction of the 100 bills or ,iore to be thrown into the senate hopper. More than 1000 were introduced on the opening day in the house. King's national defense bill, which would abolish the war and navy departments as now constituted, similar to the one introduced in the house by Representative C. F. Curry, Republican of California. Practically tho only difference is that Curry provides for three "under" secretaries and King's for three "assistant" secretaries, for army, navy and air. King also has two resolutions prepared, one calling for an investigation of the Shenadoah disaster and the subsequent investigation of the navy department. Explaining the bill abolishing the federal trade commission and the tariff commission, King sa?d: "Both commissions were created to discourage concentration of wealth. Instead they encouraged it. Trusts are increasing fast enough in this country without requiring the aid of federal commissions." King promised an investigation by' congress of the bread trust "the latest of the "large family of trusts that has a strangle hold on competitive business in this country." Another bill prepared by King would strengthen the Sherman antitrust act, making its penal provisions stronger and more severe. The Philippine independence bill directs the president to negotiate with foreign powers which have possesions on the Pacific to draw up a neutrality treaty between those powers and the Philippine islands, to prevent 8aiB.vasln tt the" islands ty a stronger nation.

At the same time the commission made public 398 awards aggregating $13,140,059 and announced dismissal of 192 claims. Disposition of five Lusitatiia cases three by tho award of $74,821 in damages and two by dismissal terminated the consideration of pending claims arising out. of the torpedoing of the liner. The 398 awards of all sorts against Germany growing out of the war, made public, varied from one of $9.20 for John Malina of Cicero, 111., to another of $4,750,000 for the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Leading financial institutions like the National City bank of New York and inconsplcious American cit izens like Margaret S. Macleay of Manchester, N. H., who received $10, were listed among the beneficiaries. In the great majority of cases the amount of the award was agreed up on between Chandler P. Anderson and Wilhelm Klesselbach, the American and the German commissioners, while In some the umpire was called upon to decide between the conflicting opinions.

The scene more resembled a social function than a convention of the country's delegates met to legislate for national ills.
