COMPRISE
TARIFF BILL
Speaker Cannon
Has Conference
With President
SENATE ATTITUDE IN DOUBT
Duty on Hides Will Be Made
Bone of Contentation
in Upper House
Washington, D. C, July 19. The
conference Committee qn, the tariff
bill, this morning, agreed to accept
the Senate corporation tax amend
ment as drafted by Wiekersham, Root
and the President. Speaker Cannon
and Representative Dwight this morn
ing held a conference with the Presi
dent regarding the votes which the
President has agreed to deliver to
pass such a bill as the conferees have
promised the President to produce.
The President admits no doubt of
sufficient votes in the House to pass
such a bill but it is said that the at
titude of the Senate gives him con
cern. Free hides seems to lie the
subject of worry at the White House
but this is expected to be smoothed
over by a compromise. Speaker Can
non said today that trading on the ig
norance of the tariff of the public,
certain dealers ' and manufacturers'
are going to raise prices regardless
of anything Congress might do. He
says the general talk of increases all
along the line will give an opportuni
ty to put up the prices to the "ulti
mate consumer."
No Action Yet.
Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, D. C, July 19. No ac
tion was taken today by' the Senate
committee on judiciary on the pend
ing matter of confirmation of the ap
pointment of Hon. M. C. Mechem to
be a member of the territorial su
preme court, although both President
Taft and Attorney General Wicker
sham have returned all the papers to
the committee with favorable com
ment. Tariff Battle Nearing End.
Washington, July 19. The Republi
can conference committee is near the
end of its deliberations on the tariff
bill and its report probably will be
completed late this week. How long
it will take the Senate and the House
to pass finally upon the work of the
conference committee and what will
be the ultimate fate of the measure
as a whole is the subject of varying
conjecture, but the general impression
is that the report will be adopted by
Congress and will reach' the president
early next week.
Most people here expect that Presi
dent Taft will sign the bill. He has
caused a flurry in Congress, by issu
ing what amounted to an informal
message to Congress reiterating his
conviction that the Republican plat
form meant, and the sentiment of the
people demanded, a modified down
ward tariff revision.
Probably the five subjects which
have received President's Taft's per
sonal attention, iron ore, coal, oil,
hides and lumber will be taken up by
the conferees first. There are a num
ber of paragraphs which cannot be
disposed of until rates are determined
for the subjects named. Proceeding
upon the assumption that iron ore and
oil will be placed upon the free list
and that existing duties on coal, hides
and lumber will -be materially reduc
ed, the conferees are preparing amend
ments on artices related to the fore
going raw materials.
Outside of questions receiving the
personal attention of President Taft
the greatest difficulty anticipated re
lates to the wood pulp and print paper
schedules. On account of the state
ment of Representative Mann, chair
man of the special committee which
investigated this whole subject and re
ported rates to the House, that he
would vote against the conference re
port unless views of his committee
were recognized, conferees have de
layed disposition of this schedule.
The' House rate on print paper was
fixed- at $2 a ton. The Senate rate is
$4 a ton as against the existing rate
of $6 a ton. The general impression
Is that the Senate conferees will offer
to compromise with the House by
agreeing to accept a rate of $3.
The paragraph affecting women's
gloves, on which the House advanced
the existing rate, is among those on
which action has been deferred. The
Senate conferees are holding out for
an amendment restoring the Dingley
rates. A compromise has been sug
gested which puts , such as schen
gloyes on the free list. This is the
cheapest gloves manufactured. . They
retail at about 75 cents a pair and it
is said the effect would be to reduce
this retail price to about 50 cents a
pair. The compromise contemplates

at the plant this morning. The an
swer of the strikers to the injunction
petition of the Public Defense Associ
ation to restrain the strikers and

held this morning was addressed in

Details of the Riot.
Butler, Pa., July 19. In a riot fol
lowing the unexpected arrival here of
a detachment of state constabulary
late yesterday afternoon, a striking
employe of the Standard Steel Car
Company of Lyndora, was probably
fatally injured and two bystanders
were seriously wounded. Thirty sup
posed strike leaders were arrested.
The entrance yesterday of five
hundred employes of the Standard
Wheel Company, a concern manufac
turing pressed steel wheels into the
ranks of the 2,500 striking men of the
Standard Steel Car Company, has
caused the situation here to be re
garded as serious.
The strikers, It Js reported, had
been told that two box cars had been
taken into the plant loaded with out
side workmen. A rush was made
upon the gates but the heavy doors
refused to yield. The mob used rail
way ties in beating down part of the
fence. The cars were searched, but
found to be loaded with material. The
crowd then dispersed.
The approach of .the constabulary
became known through strike pick
ets. An alarm was sounded and with
in a few moments thousands of strik
ers and their sympathizers lined the
streets. The trooperswere jeered as
they rode up the main street.
Someone then threw a beer bottle
which struck Trooper Haas. An or
der from the commanding lieuten
ant quickly massed the constabulary
into riot form attention and with
drawn maces , they charged the
crowds. . V'ii'.. " -
J' . t. ...
In the melee Mi's. Esther Pagenelli
was pushed through . a plate glass
window and severely cut.
Slowly i the troopers cleared the
streets and the railway . was appar
ently clear as far as the car company's
plant. 'I':; . $iwh'.:r:'"
Marching order was again formed
but the troopers had not ridden twen
ty yards before they were halted
with bottles, slag, pieces ofbwd
crU
vifV
lice
and lumps of coal, thrown from the
tops of houses along the street.
The troopers were ordered to draw
and load their guns. As the column
of forty men advanced, the crowd
again surged into the streets. Put
ting their horses to a trot, the con
stabulary rode into the crowd, firing
into the ground. It was in this clash
that three persons were shot. The
strikers used revolvers freely, it is
said.
Thirty supposed strike leaders were
arrested.
Following the clash the strikers
gathered on, a hill and held an im
promptu meeting. They were ad
dressed by Father Becavaca, of the
Catholic church who advised against
violence nnd bloodshed.
Addressing Sheriff Caldwell, who
stood at the edge of the crowd, Father
Becavaca said:
"If you will take these troops away
I will guarantee there will be no more
violence. The sheriff said the
car company officials had requested
the troops as an attempt would be
made tomorrow to operate the car
plant.
The constabulary established quar
ters inside the car company's plant.
The company officials said tonisht
that they did not recognize the strike
in any way.
"We will not arbitrate the matter."
said General Manager Altman. "Those
who wish may return to work to
morrow as we intend to resume oper
ations at that time."
ONLY A LITTLE
READING MATTER
Mrs. Marcia McClurg, Wealthy Wo
man of Denver, Sued by Wheeler
Publishing Company. 1
Denver, Colo., July 19. "Just a
reading matter," said Mrs. Marcia Mc
Clurg, 906 Grant avenue, society lead
er and daughter of David H. Moffat,

ence, it is alleged, as a deputy sheriff,
after five trips to the residence, found
her at home and served the summons
in a civil action brought by the Wheel
er Publishing Company of this city to
recover $9,250 worth of books purchas
ed on contract.
If there is anything in the realm of
literature omitted from the "little
reading matter" with which Mrs. Mc
Clurg intended to supply herself it was
not evidenced in the bill of complaint,
for everything from the Bible and
classics to books of lighter vein are
mentioned in the separate provisions
of the contract; enough ; to provide
several well-to-do families with a good
sized library.

Channel
LATHAM FELLJNTO THE SEA
Calmly Smoking Cigarette as
He Floated on
Waves.
Caiias, July 19. Herbert Latham,
the French aviator, after waiting for
a week for a favorable opportunity to
attempt to cross the English channel
in his monoplane, made his attempt
this morning, and after covering six
teen miles, the motor failed and La
tham fell into the sea from o great
height, lie was uninjured and to
gether with liis machine, was res
cued by the torpedo boat Harpon. Af
ter the tuss and torpedo boats strung
across the channel, had taken their
positions the start was made from
the top of the cliff at San Gatte under
favorable conditions. Shouting "See
you in Dover," the aviator wearing
a life preserver rose in the air and
headed straight for the English coast,
the machine apparently under per
fect control and making 35 miles an
hour. The torpedo boat Harpon, kept
almost under the monoplane and at
the end of fifteen minutes, both dis
appeared over the horizon. The avi
ator was anxiously awaited at Dover,
but was not sighted from the English
coast When the Harpon picked up
the monoplane it was floating with
Latham sitting calmly in his seat
smoking a cigarette.
Latham received a tremendous ova
tion on landing, being compelled to
kiss several women. He said the mo-
tor failed 12 miles out and compelled
him to descend. He will try again.
Curtiss' Aeroplane Wrecked.
New -York, July 19. A frightened
amateur, sitting like j& wooden man,
went up in Glenn Curtiss' areoplane,
which hovered a moment in mid air ,
and then crashed to the earth.. The.
beautiful craft in which Curtiss made
his remarkable flight was badly wreck
ed. When the would-be aviator was
lifted from the twisted frame he was
delirious, his left arm was broken and
his body bruised. His injuries, how
ever, are not serious.
The accident occurred on Hamp
stead plain, Mineola, where Curtiss
has been giving demonstrations for
the New York Aeronautic Society, to
which he recently sold his aeroplane
for $5,000. It was a member of the
society, Alexander Williams, 42 years
old. who was injured.
While Williams had driven many an
automobile and is familiar with gas
engines, he seemed to lose complete
control of himself as the aeroplane
soared upward. When it had attain
ed a height of 30 feet, the craft careen
ed sharply to the right, swooped to
ward the earth and striking on end
turned completely over, then rolled
on its back. William remained pin
ned in his seat until lifted out. As .
a physician bent over him, "Williams
in his delirium muttered that some
one had collided with him In the air.
Witnesses declare it was merely a case
of a man attempting something which,
taxes the nerves, the body and the
brain simuntaneously and that Wil
liams simply had stage fright His at
tempted flight followed a successful
one made by Edward Foster Willard
of New York, also a member of the
Aeroplantic society, who remained in
the air 28 seconds, making a short
flight at an average height of 20 feet
