THE TARIFF MEASURE SIGNED BY SPEAKER CLARK AND VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL THIS AF TERNOON, AND NOW GOES TO THE WHITE HOUSE. SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW MEASURE Washington. D. C, Oct. 3 The house agreed to the tariff bill confer ence report at 1:22 today, constituting the final action of that body on the tariff bill. Speaker Clark overruled all points of order made by members, who contended that further action by the house was not necessary. Speaker Clark immediately after ward signed the bill, affixing his sig nature at 1:25 o'clock. Cheers and applause greeted the final action of the house. The completed bill was sent on its way to the senate for the sig nature of the vice president, when it will be ready for transmission to the White House, where the president will sign it at 9 o'clock tonight. Vice President Marshall signed the bill at 1:34 this afternoon. The tariff bill bearing the signa tures of Speaker Clark and Vice Pres ident Marshall, the first Democratic measure since 1S04, reached the white house at 2:30 o'clock, but the president adhered to his plan not to' sign it until ft o'clock tonight, the hour fixed by the administration leaders to witness the ceremony. President Wilson refused through out the day repeated requests from moving picture concerns and photo graphs to be present when the tariff bill is signed. He took the position that the signing of a legislative act of so great importance should be a dig nified occasion, but the requests were pressing in on the White House from all sides and there was some hope that the picture men might at least photograph the group after the bill was signed. The president decided to sign the bill with two pens. The pen with which he vill write the name "Wood row'1 will be given to Representative Underwood and the other, with which he will complete his signature, will be presented to Senator Simmons, who led the tariff fight in their respective branches of congress. President Wilson began work to day with the prospect of signing at 9 o'clock tonight the first great reform measure of his administration and the first Democratic tariff revision bill pas sed in nearly a score of years. Demo cratic leaders of the house and senate had smoothed the way for the last leg islative step for the approval of the hill. It remained only to secure the formal action of the house of repre sentatives in receding from its cotton futures tax amendment to complete the tariff bill. The tariff conference report, completed by the senate last night, was ready for submission to the house as soon as that body met. It was expected that it would be acted on and the tariff bill sent to the pres ident before the end of the afternoon. President Wilson, after a conference with administration leaders early to day, planned to sign the tariff bill at 9 o'clock tonight. Arrangements for ceremonies to attend the final act in the prolonged tariff leRislation were made by the president as soon as it seemed assured that the measure would reach him some time today. Invited by the president to witness the signing of the measure were Chairman Underwood and members of the wayB and means committee: Chairman Sim mons and members of the finance com mittee; Vice President Marshall; Pres ident Pro Tempore CJarke, and Ma jority Leader Kern, of the senate: Speaker Clark, members of the cabi net and newspaper correspondents. Parliamentary leaders of the house divided over the course to be pursued with the tariff bill as soon as the con ference report was received from the senate at noon. Mr. Underwood, fol lowing the plan agreed on yesterday, moved that the house recede from the Smith-Lever cotton futures tax amend ment, Bince the senate had voluntarily given up the Clarke amendment. Representative Hinds, Republican, and former parliamentary clerk, and others, said the house had nothing to act upon and should not set a pre cedent that might prove troublesome. Representative Crisp, of Georgia, also a former parliamentary clerk of the house, upheld Mr. Underwood, as did the majority of the Democrats. Underwood and Crisp insisted that the SraithLever amendment still remain ed to be acted on, while Representa tives Hinds, Sherley and FitzGerald held that by receding from the Clarke amendment the senate had carired the whole subject out of the tariff bill. Speaker Clark held that unless the l.cuse receded from the compromise cf the Smith-Lever amendment, as the senate did, the two branches of con gress would not be in accord. Mr. Underwood's motion to recede from the cotton futures amendment was then carried without a roll call, with practically no negative votes. "This bill Is of too vast importance for the house not to clear up any questions of procedure," said Speaker Clark. ' The measure mist be put in such shape that skilled lawyers cannot pick (laws in it." This position was endorsed by Rep resentative Payne, the Republican leader. Joseph W. Folk, solicitor of the Etnte department, in a letter to Sena tor Simmons, has furnished a list of countries having treaties with the United States which enforced the pro vision giving a 5 per cent rebate in tar ii; oh goods brought in American ships. Congress has amended the bill, however, so that countries not now ht.und by treaty provision on the sub ject, shall be exempt from Ihe provis ion. Most of the country thus affected are Russia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Nether lands, Spain, Norway and Sweden, all heavy exports to the United States. Treaties with Great Britain. Costa Kica and Honduras contain modified restrictions, which apparently would prevent discrimination against goods that are the "growth, product or man ufacture" of the exporting country. Countries named by Mr. Folk as hav ing treaties, include Germany, Brazil. Fiance, China, Russia, Switzerland and several smaller nations. President Wilson's; signing of.- the Underwood-Simmons- bill at 9 o'clock tonight brings into effect one of the most far-reaching revisions of tariff rates and revenue laws enacted for many years. A new income tax. applying direct ly to the incomes of citizens; the abolition of all tariff on scores of items of immense importance to American industry and American consumers and a heavy reduction ot tariff rates on most of the articles in general use in this country are its chief features. While certain portions of the new law do not take effect at once, most i of its provisions ami almost all the direct tariff reductions, do. At every port collectors of customs, appraisers of merchandise and hun dreds of other employes of the treas ury department will plunge at once in to the task of collecting the nation's revenue on a new basis, and with hundreds of new classifications and new provisions of law to complicate their activities. The federal government has been spending nearly a billion dollars a year and the new tariff law will raise less than one-third of that sum. He cent estimates by tariff experts in congress predict that the rates will raise $249,000,000 a year; and that the income tax will raise $122,000,000. The remainder of the government's great income is made up principally of internal revenue taxes and postal receipts. The income lax probably will bring the new tariff law most forcibly to the attention of citizens. President Wilson and Democratic leaders in congress believe however, that the reduction of duties on clothing, food stuffs and other necessaries of life, (Contltiued on Page Four.) DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ON ANXIOUS SEAT CURRENCY BILL IS A MATTER OF DEEP CONCERN TO THE ADMINISTRATION. -SENATORS LEAVE WASHINGTON FOL LOWING PASSAGE OF TARIFF MEASURE. The sit-1 Washington, D. C, Oct. nation confronting the administration currency bill in the senate has be come a matter of deep concern to President Wilson and members of the senate, who favor early action on the bill. Four members of the senate bank ing and currency committee have tried to devise a plan for hastening ac tion on the bill, but they have not de cided finally what course to follow, if the full committee refuses to report the bill back to the senate. Chairman Owen and Senators Pomerene, Hollis pnd Shafroth have participated in the conferences, which began soon after the visit of Senators Owen and Shafroth to the White House early in the week. It is understood that Sena tors Hitchcock, O'Gorman and Reed, the three other Democratic members cf the senate committee have thus far rc-fused to agree to any plan of Im mediate action on the bill. Several tentative plans for forcing tne measure on tne attention ot um ministration leaaers. tnese iiiuuub ! proposal to discharge the senate com mittee from further consideration ofiMSsoURI "CLUBS" ARE the bill, thus bringing It before the full senate, and the alternate possl-! tillty of having a Democratic caucus , take up the problem. In both cases, j hewever, the friends of the adminis-,j tration bill recognize that sentiment is divided on the Democratic side over many provisions of the measure. It Is believed that an exodus of senators from Washington will follow the sign ing of the tariff bill and that any con templated action Involving the full Lemocratlc strength of the senate will be held up for several weeks.

Hans Schmidt, the Driest who murdered Anna An - inuller. became frenzied today at the coroner's inquest into the death of his victim, rose from his seat, ripped from his neck the rosary lie had worn ever since his Incarceration, tore it into many bits, and hurled them at the newspaper reporters sitting half a dozen steps away. The jury found him responsible for the girl's death. District Attorney Whitman express- ed the positive conviction today that Hans Schmidt is sane. Schmidt will be placed on trial for the murder of Anna Aumuller, whom he slew as she slept, dismembered and sank in the Hudson river on September 20 last. Mr. Whitman's opinion is' based on the conclusion of the four alienists who have examined Schmidt in the tombs at Mr. Whitman's behest. Their formal report will be made soon. Schmidt's outburst of temper occur red in the presence of a jury of mil lionaires empaneled to conduct the inquest. The verdict was quickly found. It follows: "We, the jury, believe that Anna Aumuller came to her death on Sep tember 2, 1913, at number 68 Brad hurst avenue, at tile hands of Hans Schmidt." Schmidt was immediately remanded j to the tombs without bail to await the i action of the grand jury- 1 Theodore P.

Jumping to his feet, his eyes blaz ing, and his lips moving, Schmidt tore the rosary from his neck with a sin gle sweep of his arms and before de tectives could stay him had snapped il into many parts and hurled them at the newspaper men.

Drew insisted that his ml Insnector Fatirot. to whom association had no desire ruthlessly Schmidt confessed, testified. Faurot detailed in a hundred words or less the substance of the confession. "Do you wish to place your client, on the stand?" Coroner Feinberg next asked counsel for Schmidt. The an swer was negative and the coroner. apparently expecting that Schmidt would testify, asked if the priest had anything to say. "Nothing whatever," replied the lawyer. The coroner's charge was brief, lie told the jury that it could find that Anna Aumuller came to her death at the hands of an unknown person or that she was killed by a person to bein named by the jury. "Hans Schmidt does not. appear be fore you on a trial for the murder," he said. "You are simply to find a verdict as a coroner's jury." Within the fifteen minutes from the time the first witness had taken the stand, the jury had withdrawn. With in ten minutes more, it had returned with its verdict. Counsel for Schmidt issued a state-ifore ment this afternoon saying that his ,a big piece of steel from above grazed i client's outbreak had been provoked j him by inches. This convinced him j by the coroner's jury who had made: that the union wanted to get rid of a "holiday" of the inquest and had ap-jhim because it feared he would turn pealed to public-spirited citizens for I funds to bury Anna Aumuller.

Naturally this question is one to be I ut to the president of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce. When interviewed this morning on Ihe subject President If. H.
