FACTORY HEAD HELD f-. uenmj DELAY ON FAIR SITE HAMPERING PLANS, Mayor Disclaims Responsibility. Torrid Debate on Location Ex pected in Committee Tuesday TRANSPORTATION SEEN . AS PARAMOUNT FACTOR ny OEOItOK NOX McGAIN Tuesday next tho Executive Com mittee of the Sesqui-Ccntennlnl Com mittee of One Hundred will meet to discuss sites. It is more than probable that the debato rriny becomo as torrid as preva lent atmospheric conditions. The hot weather has been holding up tho Scsqul-Centcnnlnl beyond a doubt. It Is difficult to get committees to gether. Many members are out of town. Somo are abroad. Mayor Moore, naturally, disclaims responsibility for tho delay. With hands extended palms upward he inquired this morning : "Well, whnt more con I do than I am doing? I'm here. Where nro the other members of tho committee?" The question of a site for the big ex position Is paramount. Something defi nite must be decided upon before tho subject Is taken up nt Washington. "Wlo must know where u stand bo foro we nsk favors of Congress. There must be a dofinlto plan. Our repre sentatives must be prepared to nnswer every question about tho Imposition Tho details must bo worked up. A generalized plan will not bo accept able." So spoke Congressman Sorrow, talk ing of tho big enterprise. Present Rill to Bo Shelved Taking time by the forelock, he Imp already presented n tentative bill. It is to be shelved, however, in favor of a better or moro perfect one. When tho last word in spoken on tho question of the proper site the Indisputable fact will remain that it is n question of ruilroad and trolley transportation. No committee or committees can get nwny from that fact. Samuel Rca, W. W. Attcrbury and Agncw T. Dice will have a powerful lot to sav on the subject. Their judgments will fuse with the final decision of the Committee on Site ns to just where tho world's great est exposition will rear its towers, minarets, domes and walls and stretch its network of -waterways nnd lakes. Transportation Is the keystone of tho arch. It will be n calamity unthinkable to erect n dream city such as some of these people visiou if it Is partly in nccesslble or inconvcnlontly located for the millions who will view the spectacle. Thus far there havo been six sites proposed. "With two possible exceptions thcy are very soriously suggested. Each of them will hnvo its insistent band of boosters nnd ndvocntcs. The Fnirmount Park project, more familiarly known as the Paul Cret Idea, looms largest because of its itrcscntation in elaborate detail. Permanent nnd artistic reconstruc tion of both banks of the Schuvlkill, from the Market Street Bridge to Fair mount dum, is one of its features. The background to this Is an arrangement of superb structures extending the length of the Parkway and occupying ns mucli of Fairmount Park as demands may require. Objections as to Kxnenso Objections on the score of expense havo loomed up. Millions, it is as serted, will be required to secure the needed ground nlone. Tho industrial nnd commercial element enn not bo eliminated from the river banks alone, except, in cos. ot minions. A general mussing up of Fairmount Park for years is another protest that is whispered. The League Islond site 1h the Joseph M. Huston project. It contemplates n second Venice, with lagoons, canals, lakes and piers, revpt ments and quays, docks for ocean stnmers. with miles of vast buildings fringing tho water's edgo and reflecting their graceful proportions In the mirror of the waters. The great curve in tho .Delaware Itiver would be eliminated. The re clamation of the extreme lower end of the city would be completed. Trans portation f-icilitles would he perfect, not only by rnilro.id, but by ocean ami coastwise craft. League Island is objectionable to nemo becnuse of itj distance from the heart of the city. No permanent buildings could bo constructed. It would bo a city of six months to vanish before the wrecking ctvws. IIoj; Island, tho Fortieth Wnrd site, the great btretrh of deserted terrain in the Miiitheasteni part of tho cltv, "back of the beyond," has Its fervid advocates.

Democratic members of the Ways nnd Means Com mittee, in a minority report filed today In the House, denounced tho Adminis tration Tariff Bill as a "conspiracy to benefit a few favorites at tho expense of all humanity." "Like every conspiracy, it hns been hntched in secrecy," the report says, adding: "We record our solemn judgment thnt this measure is n plan to plunder the people of our own country and to op press tho iieopie of every country for the benefit of n few men who have suc ceeded in usurping for s,ll practical purposes the taxing power of thin Gov ernment, using it prlmnriiy to enrich themselves, nnd, secondarily, to finance tho political party which tolerates, en courages and facilitates the usurpa tion.'1 The report declares the tariff wns not an issue in the last campaign, and that this is not the time to write n tariff law. They assert that the problems which "confront our people, cripple our industry, stifle our commerce nnd per plex an nminblc administration have nothing to do with the tariff." Crltlci7c Republicans , Criticising the Itepubllcan majority of the committee for withholding the bill from thein and from the House membership generally nnd for permit ting only n week for its study, the Democratic members declare there has been insufficient time to draft n sub stitute. Pointing to the rapidly decreasing American foreign trade, the report says : "We need no tariff to cut off the. im- Sorts and the exports of the United tntes," calling attention that the for eign trade of the 1'nited States fell from sr.lSS.255,419 last July to $527,373, 325.
