&m%S3?% A $ it«a,? REPORT ON NEW TARIFF MEASURE Skilrman Simmons Lauds BIN Now Before Senate. RATES 27 PER CENT LOWER lanator in Charjto of Meaaure Com- Paraa It With Payne-Aldrich Act Now in Force. Washington, July 19.—An average seduction of 27.64 per cent under the rates of the existing Payne-AIdrich tariff law is proposed by the Demo cratic Underwood-Simmons tariff bill, npon which the senate has just begun debate, according to the report of the finance committee majority submitted •y tfce chairman, Senator F. M. Sim mons. The report also shows that the bill as reported to the senate provides rates 4.22 per cent lower than the Underwood bill as it passed the house. A salient feature of this bill, it is (pointed out, is the large increase of imports to be admitted free of duty. Wnder the house bill the value of free listed imports was $103,000,000, wnere is the Democrats of the senate In cau xns, by sweeping changes, propose to free Hat imports valued at $147,367, aoo. Upon tile basis of ten months for lie coming fiscal year the report esti mates that the receipts from customs alone under the hew bill will be $266, 130,000 from income tax for ten nonths, $58,330,900 corporation tax, 137,000,000 internal revenue, includ Sng tax on cotton futures of $5,000, fOO, $207,000,000, and that the reve ine from all other sources will bring the total for the fiscal year to $996, J10,000. With disbursements estimat 2d at $994,790,000 a balance is shown ffi flaror of the government of $2,202,- ,^_J'House Changes Too Drastic." BE analyzing its changes in the Bcise administrative features of the bill the committee "deemed the amend ments of the house entirely too dras tic." Particular attention is called to She senate provision "designated to furnish the president with power to impose tariff duties of a retaliatory character upon all articles comprised 5n a specific list," which includes many igiicultural products. "The provision now recommended," aays the report, "will, it is believed, ylac-e in the hands of the president powers which, though extensive their sphere, are sufficiently circum jcnhed to permit of their being ex £ftecf within the limits assigned them, without disturbing the general fiscal qj'btem of the United States." Seduction of the basis of exemption Srom income tax from $4,000, as in the touse bill, to $3,000 for unmarried per ffios, and the consequent rearrange nent of this, the report comments up as follows. "Your committee reduces the amount jf exemption of net income to $3,000, and allows on account of marriage an additional exemption of $1,000 to eith er the husband or wife where they are tfving together, but not to both. In Jhe case of minor child or children Hving with and dependent upon the parent, such parent is allowed an ad ditional exemption of $500 for one •ninor child, and up to $1,000 on ac count of minor children, except where *oth parents are taxable, in which rase no exemption is allowable on ac count of children." SUMMONED TO WASHINGTON Ambassador to Mexico Will Confer With President. Washington, July 17.—President Wilson, after an early conference with Secretary Bryan over the latest as pects of the Mexican situation, pre sented by the inquiries of foreign pow ers as to the attitude of the United States, ordered Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City to pro reed to Washington immediately. Ambassador Wilson will hurry north sa either the battleship Michigan or iiOuisiana from Vera Cruz, if any de 1a would be entailed by waiting for a commercial steamer. Officials here Relieve that the interruption of rail road traffic will force the ambassador «3 make his trip by water. It is believed in official and diplo matic circles that an important an nouncement of the attitude of the SJnited States in the pending situation will follow the ambassador's confer snee with the president and Secretary Bryan.

KILL RESOLUTION AIMEDAT BRYAN Democrats in the Senate Table Bristow Document. Washington July 19.—By practical ly a strict party vote, 41 to 29, the sen ate Democrats succeeded without de bate in tabling Senator Bristow's reso lution aimed at Secretary Bryan's pro posed six weeks' lecture tour. The resolution would have called on President Wilson to advise the senate what salary would be sufficient to keep Mr. Bryan continuously at his post. Senators Poindexter and Borah vot ed with the Democrats to table the resolution. The vote was 41 to 29. As the vote was announced Senator Bris tow faced the Democratic senators and declared: "You may shut off debate in the senate but you cannot convince the American people that a secretary of. state may neglect the duties of his office for three months of a year." "BANKING BY MAIL" LATEST Postal Saving System Introduces In novation. Washington, July 18.—"Banking by mail" is the latest innovation entered into by the government in connection with the postal saving system. Here after deposits may be made by mail and withdrawals likewise effected through the same agency. When the postal savings system was first put in operation postmasters were forbidden to permit deposits by such persons as were not patrons of the postoffice in which they sought to bank. This was found to work a hardship ftn a certain class of depositors and Postmaster General Burleson accord ingly abrogated the rule.

The letter bearing on Cannon was written to Mulhall by Secretary Schwedtman of the Manufacturers' as sociation on Aug. 17, 1908, and de clares all energies would be concen trated in Cannon's district "if there is the slightest occasion for it." In August a fight in the Eleventh Wisconsin district, where John J. Jen kins was up for re-elecUon, apparently was worrying the manufacturers, al though the National Brewers' associa tion wrote Mulhall it was "their fight" Edward Hines, the Chicago lumber man, who figured in the Lorimer case, came into the hearing again. Mulhall swore that in a letter to the manu facturers Aug. 27 Hines spoke of a promise to send 1,000 to go "into the right channel to be used for legiti mate purposes" in the Jenkins dis trict. Schwedtman wrote Mulhall on Aug. 25: "I don't consider Teddy, nor Taft, nor Sherman, nor Foraker, nor the rest of those great men, equal to Van Cleave, Parry, Kirby and the others, who have given freely of their energy and their money to the great cause which is expressed in the principles of the National Association of Manu facturers." BLAMES SECRETARY DANIELS Mayor 0 Seattle Says Speech of Naval Head Caused Riot. Seattle. Wash., July 20.—That the attack on the headquarters of the In dustrial Workers of the World was due directly to an address by Secre tary of the Navy Daniels the night before was the declaration made by Mayor Cotterill and his supporters. They assert that the marines and sailors from the warships at anchor who smashed the furniture of the In dustrial Workers and attacked Social ist speakers were inspired by Daniels' utterance in which he denounced any mayor who would permit the red flag upon his streets. Several hundred bluejackets par ticipated in the "cleaning up." Defying the police the mob attack ed the I. W. W. headquarters and burned the literature and other con tents of the building. From this they went to the Socialist headquarters, demolishing the furniture, smashing the windows and nailing American flags to the walls and across the en trance. SAYS MULHALL IS PERJURER Candidate McClave Testifies at Lobby Probe, Washington, July 19.—S. Wood Mc Clave, Republican candidate for con gress in a special election to be held the Sixth New Jersey district next Tuesday, came to Washington and told the senate lobby investigating committee that Martin M. Mulhall, late "lobbyist" for the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, had per jined himself in his testimony before the committee. McClave denied emphatically that Mulhall had raised or spent money for him, had managed his campaign or had been his close companion and associate during his fight against Will iam Hughes for the Sixth district nomination in 1910.

The Reasons Why This Old Planet of Ours, With All Its Pentup Fiery, Volcanic or Gaseous Forces at Work, But that can never happen. In 1883 Krakatoa, a sleepy old vol cano on a small island in the strait of Sunda. between Java and Sumatra, began to show marked signs of uneasi ness. Round the volcano the quaking earth opened enormous fissures in the bottom of the sea, down which rushed Niagaras of water. Then the fissures closed and confined the engulfed flood In the hot subterranean depths. The water was quickly converted into steam, the steam Into dissociated gases, without room for expansion. It exerted a pressure equal to that of the strongest dynamte. The great chimney of Krakatoa. sealed since the memory of man. barred the normal path of escape. Higher and higher mounted the pres sure under the huge mass of the vol cano then, of a sudden, came a blast that actually shook the earth. Never before in historic time had there been such a shock. The whole top of the old mountain was blown into the sky. The recoil was distinctly felt clear through the terrestrial ball. This great cataclysm has been cited as an indication of the power of the pentup forces that may some day dis rupt the earth itself. Let us examine the underlying principles that must guide us in passing judgment on the correctness of this theory. An explosive compound is a combust ible combined mechanically or chem ically either with oxygen or with an oxidizing substance that will burn with out the help of atmospheric oxygen. Among the most powerful high ex plosives are nitrogelatin and picric acid, each of which has a density more than one and a half times that of water. The products of their combus tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the products of the combustion of ordinary black gunpowder are less than half gaseous. The larger part is the solid matter that makes the smoke. The energy that a high explosive can exert depends on the volume of the gases liberated and the temperature to which the heat of the explosion can raise them. The exact temperature of the gases liberated by a high explosive at the in stant of detonation is not absolutely known, but may be approximately learned through chemical experiment. Nor is the amount of pressure known with absolute certainty. It is probable, however, that nitroglycerin, nitrogela tin and picric acid, when detonated in a confined space, exert a pressure some where between 300,000 and 500.000 pounds to the square inch. If we assume that the earth crust has a density five times that of water and that its average thickness is fifty miles, then it follows that it exerts a pressure of more than 500.000 pounds to the square inch: if the crust is a hundred miles thick, then the pressure is more than a million pounds to the square inch—a pressure certainly great er than the expansive force exerted by the most powerful high explosive. Plainly, no quantity of high explosive detonated under the crust of the earth would be able to lift it. and consequent ly we know that no world of the size of the earth can ever explode from its own pentup internal forces. If. then, no high explosive force is sufficient to blow up a world the size of the earth, how can worlds explode? There is only one way in which the heavenly bodies can become possessed of sufficient energy actually to blow up, and that is by collision. The stars are flying about in space with velocities that range all the way from five miles a second to 500 miles a second. If two celestial orbs, traveling each at a velocity of 200 miles a second, met in a head-on collision they would be fused and gasified by the impact, and the beat generated would be sufficient to break up the matter of both into its ultimate elements and to expand it into nebulous haze. This is the way in which science says that new suns, new nebulae and new stars are born.—Hud son Maxim in Youth's Companion. Sorry He Spoke. He—I'd like to know what enjoy ment you can find in going from store to store looking at things you haven't the least idea of buying.

Could Never Bo Blown to Fragments. Some writers have accounted for the asteroids on the theory that they are the fragments of a world that from some unknown cause has been explod ed in its orbit Similarly, many have thought that perhaps at some distant time, when the seas shall have been drunk up into the cracked and thick ened crust of the age shrunken earth and the volcanoes—those vents of the tlery Interior—shall have become chok ed and extinct, the pentup gases gener ated from the descending moisture by the still great Internal heat may ac tually* explode the old earth like a veritable bombshell. DEFE GET WHAT YOU WANT. Yeu, C»» F»n*Hy Grasp It if You Are I Persistant and Pationt. Gef what you want in this world. If a here waiting for you. All you have to do is to reach for it If you reach hard enough .and far enough and long enough, you'll get it, no matter what It Is you'want. -1- Suppose you are foolish enough to want great wealth. You cuu get it But to get it you muHt make up yom mind that you want wealth that you want it above everything else in the world. Observe an industrious alien with a pushcart. He wants $1,000. He sleep? in a cellar. He rises at 4. He works till 10 at night. He denies himself food te save. Some day he will have ui» thou sand dollars. "But." you protest, "I can't sleep in a cellar. I'm above running a push cart." Very well. then. There la little likelihood that you will ever be rich. There are other things that you want more than wealth—your comfort, your social position. Suppose you are more sensible. Sup pose that it is success you want. Good! There are few joys iu this world that can compare with the Joy of achieve ment. Set your mark and start climb ing toward it. You'll reach it If you keep at it. Be persistent and be pa tient. If you are in Maine you can't wish yourself in California. You can't get there overnight, either. Rut ynn'M get there some time If you start and keep going, even if you go on your hands and knees. But remember this: No man ever climbs higher ttuui the mark be sets himself. No man ever reaches the top walking sideways. No man achieves who keeps turning back. And one thing more: Pick your apple carefully before you start to climb the tree. Some apples are sour.—William Johnston in Amer ican Magazine. SHAKESPEARE'S WOMEN. Neither Original Nor Enlightened, Is Helen Keller's Verdict. I doubt if the women in Shake speare's comedies are to be taken se riously. They are pretty creatures in tended to be played by boys. They are the vehicle of any more or loss fitting strain of poetry which happens to please the poet. Alice in Wonderland Is a very real little girl, but one would not make a grave, scholarly analysis of the traits of character which she dis plays in her encounter with the mock turtle. Neither should we press too heavily upon Shakespeare's poetry to extract his beliefs about women. The unrivaled sonnets voice the praise and also the petulant dissatisfaction of a man in love or pretending to be In lore for the purpose of poetry. The woman worship in the sonnets and in the glow ing passages of the plays spoken by gallants in pursuit of their ladies is only the conventional romanticism com- ature. Shakespeare's phrasing outflies that of all other poets. But his ideas of women are neither original nor en lightened. In studying the social ideas of a writer and his time we often learn more from his unconscious testimony than from his direct eloquence. Portia ts wise, witty, learned, disguised as a man but she is disposed of without protest through her father's will and its irrational accidents to a commonplace bankrupt courtier, and the tacit impli cation is that she is happily bestowed. Where Shakespeare brings Portia's ca reer to an end a modern comedy would begin. In the other plays the delight ful heroine is hurried off at the close of the fifth act into the possession of a man whom she would not look at if she were as wise and strong and witty as the situations have represented her.— Helen Keller In Metropolitan.
