HOUSE MUST CUT
LEATHER TARIFF
FOR FREE HIDES
Western Senators Stand Pat
to Protect, They Say, Cat
tle Growers' Interests
Conferees Find What Appears
Insurmountable Obstacle in
Way of Agreement
WASHINGTON', July 26.— Hides will
be put on the free list if boots and
shoes and other manufactured leather
nre reduced below the house rates. Un
less the advocates of free hides are
able to carry out this bargain the whole
conference is to be called off. A deci
sion to this effect \u25a0was reached by the
tariff conferees today.
The conference adjourned tonight un
til 11 a. m. tomorrow, but the house
members will assemble half an hour
parlier in order that they may plan for
executing their part of the agreement.
It is expected they will have a report
from the house leaders as to the possi
bility of passing a rule conferring juris
diction upon them to agree to lower
rates on leather than those named in
the house bill.
I LTIMATUM BY AL.DRICH
Senator Aldrich has Informed senators
from northwestern states that he will
rot consent to free hides unless there
is a material cut on the rates on boots
and shoes and other leather goods. In
no other was*, he said, can he get the
necessary votes in the senate. Senators
from cattle raising states have Insisted
that the only way consumers can get
any benefits from the removal of the
protection on hides will be by corre
sponding reductions in the duties on
boots and shoes and harness. The Rhode
It-land "senator's views coincide with this
statement.
If anything should occur to upset the
plan to give the conferees jurisdiction
to adopt lower rates the conference
committee is holding what is regarded
as a trump card in reserve. This pro
vides for a conference report putting
.hides on the free list and reducing the
rat^s on staoes and other leather manu
factures.
The report, it is said, then would be
presented to President Taft, with the
statement that the conferees had not
been abl.* to muster sufficient votes to
assure Its adoption and it would de
volve upon the president to procure the
necc-ssary support for the program, "in
the «vent of failure the conferees would
tubmlt a report placing a small duty
on hides and the house rates on leather.
F"ew of the conferees believe 4t will be
incumbent upon them to resort to such
i tactics.
MEWS OF WESTERN SENATORS
Senator Warren said the western sen
ators will not be representing their
states if they consent to the abolition
of the duty on hides in the interest of
the manufacturers of shoes and other
leather goods unless manufacturers are
compelled to concede lower rates on
leather products. While the western
senators take the position that the re
moval of the duty on hides will be in
jurious to the cattle business, some of
them say they will withdraw their pro
tests because of the insistence of Presi
dent Taft if reductions are made all
along the line in the leather schedule.
The program on which the conferees
are working is as follows:
Hides free, as provided by the house,
fi«ainst the senate rate of 13 per cent
ad valorem.
. Sole leather. 5 per cent, the same/as
in the house bill, as against the senate
rate of 15 per cent.
Dressed upper leather, 7^i per cent,
as against 15 p*T cent, in both the
.house and senate bills.
Boots and shoes, 10 per cent, as
against 15 per cent in the house bill
and 20 per cent in the senate bill.
.Saddlery and harness. 20 per cent, at
ngalnst 35 per cent in the house biU
and 40 per cent in the senate bill.
BEEF PACKERS AS TAXXERS
According to Senator Warren, the
eiory that beef packers are engaging
extensively in the tanning business,,
-and will be the principal beneficiaries ,
of a duty on hides has been used by
tlie -free hide lobby" in manufactur
ing sentiment against the protection
'asked by the cattle Industry. He sub-,
.nutted figures to Senator Aldrich to be
used in refuting this argument.
Senators entrusted with the task of
canvassing the senate reported today
that it would be impossible to adopt a
report providing free hides. The sen
ators conferred with, some of the house
leaders and were informed it is just
as impossible to pass a report through '
the house without free hides.
This information was communicated
to the conferees and convinced them
it would be futile to pass any more
time trying to agree unless concessions
were made to cattle interests.
It is desired that Representative
Tayne shall have opportunity to pre
pare an exhaustive statement which
will be presented to the house with the
conference report. This will require
Iwo or three days and it is likely that
no effort will be made to get a rule
through the house tomorrow.
miI.IPPI.VE TARIFF SECTIOX
The Philippine tariff section was re
opened by the conferees at the request
<>f President Taft. An amendment was
adopted yesterday prbf iding that goods
manufactured in the Philippine islands
must be only of ingredients grown or
produced in the islands in order to be
admitted free to the United States. The
president took the position that this
amendment would stifle, manufacture
in the islands.
General Clarence Edwards, chief of
the bureau of insular affairs, called on
several of the conferees and urged that
an amendment be adopted providing
for free admieslon when not more than
20 per cent of, such goods were com
jioKed of foreign material. The sug
gestion was adopted- .
The conferees took steps toward the
final disposition of the wood pulp and
j>rint. paper schedule, although It is
understood no rates were definitely
f.xod. '.-•'*;
It has been unofficially reported that
;» duty of. $3.75 a', ton would be agreed
to on print paper.
It is expected a vote on coal, oil,
lumber, hosiery, gloves' and print
paper, and iron' ore, will be taken
tomorrow. - - \u25a0 • \u25a0 \u25a0- •

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR-NO. 4
David J. Grauman, Aspirant to Republican Nomination, So
Vile a Personality The Gall Will Not Give His Views;
There is one for nomination to office at the coming primary election whose views,
motives and promises will be given no publicity in The Call. His name is David J: Grauman and
he seeks the republican nomination for mayor?.
Grauman's candidacy for any office is an affront to public decency. His personality is such
than when he breathes self-respecting people whose environment he afflicts must hold their
noses. The man is too offensive for his present aspiration to be dismissed as a political, joke ;
his case needs the attention of a scavenger equipped/with a scoop shovel and chloride of lime.
If Grauman had contented himself with being merely Grauman. associating himself with only
such as can endure him, The Call would have continued to keep silence about a manifestation
of his offensiveness that was enough by itself to prove his utter uniitness for any place* of pub
lic trust. His impudence in aspiring to a nomination for the highest municipal office makes this
exposure necessary. The Call has no relish- for the 'task, but undertakes it out of a sense of
duty to the public.
One day a good many months ago Grauman visited The Call office at Third* and Market
streets. For a few moments he was alone in the reception room with a young woman, an em
ploye of The Call. She had never, seen him before and did not know who he was., The place is
public and the\vhite haired visitor was apparently harmless: There was nothing fin his de
meanor or in the circumstances to.put the young woman on her guard. Thus Grauman was able
to get near her without exciting suspicion of his \ ; ile intent. He seized her and, with force and
violence, sought to put upon her the grossest indignities a wonian m^y suffer at the hands of a
man turned beast. ' -" .i. i
The young woman's screams brought help on the instant. Grauman would have been dealt
with on the spot as he deserved had not some of those in authority intervened. He was sum
marily put out of the building and notice was given the watchman and other attendants that he
must not be allowed to enter The Gall office again for any purpose. Similar. notice was served
on the Graubeast. He has never been in this office since— and lie will do well to keep on staying
away. . ' J .
That he was not man handled at the moment and that he was not prosecuted criminally
Grauman owes to The Call's regard for ; the young Woman's feelings. Time has not in any wise
diminished this regard, but Grauman's effrontery in seeking office subordinates it to regard for
the public good and for public decency. Perhaps Grauman will plead that he was drunk when
he committed this beastliness. He may have been, but even so that does not make him any the
less vile. \;
David J. Grauman a candidate 'for mayor? He might be a candidate for pound keeper,
only there are some hardships one would not impose upon a dog.
TELLS OF ANTIDOTE
FOR BOSS POISON
George A. Van Smith Talks Be
fore Church Federation on
Direct Primary
"The Direct Primary Law and the I
Fight for Its Enactment" was the sub- j
ject of an address delivered last night
before the San Francisco church fed
eration by George- A. Van Smith, po
litical" editor of The -Call. .
In addition to an explanation of the
provisions of the direct nomination,
law, which will have Its first test in
San Francisco August 17, Van Smith
told the story of the three years' con
test which began with the successful
figat for the Incorporation of a direct
primary plank in the 1908 republican
state platform, made by General Man
ager C. W. Hornick and Managing.Ed
itor' E. S. Simpson of The Call.
TELLS STORY OF LONG FIGHT
Van Smith was* brought to California
to make The Call's fight for the enact
ment of a law which would give to
the people of ' California that political
freedom enjoyed by states of the Mis
sissippi valley'and the south. His story
of the long fight carried through two
sessions of the legislature was an un-
Impassioned recital of the tactics em
ployed by friends and foes of the di
rect primaxyjn the fight for the con
stitutional amendment in 1907, and for
the enactment of ihe- primary law in
1909.
He said that the men "who were
fighting for an honest and comprehen
sive direct primary election in Cali
fornia had more difficulty .overcoming
the efforts of ignorant»or false friends
of the reform than they had in de
feating the plans and forces of the
machine charged with preventing the
enactment of the law.
NOT CHANGED BY MACHINE
Van Smith denied emphatically the
soreheads' claim that the Herrin ma
chine forces in the legislature had
emasculated the direct primary bill or
Injected any improper provisions Into
it. He denied further that the Herrin
machine forces in the legislature had
put anything into the bill or taken
antyhlng out of it, as had been
charged by men and newspapers posing
as friends of the measure, but work
ing all the time to encompass its de
feat, f \u25a0••' '..
He declared that every change made
from the text of the original bill was
either drawn orl approved by Senator
Leroy A, Wright -and himself before
it was put into the bill, with the ex
ception of two trick amendments
framed in the assembly committee on
elections, which were stricken out by
the committee on free conference. '<
Van Smith said that in the direct
primary election law the people of
San Francisco and California- had: an
effective antidote for the political boss
poison. The responsibility for the ap
plication of that antidote was upon the
people.
A free discussion • of, the . new. law
was brought about by" the. speaker's
requests for questions touching the
provisions of the law and the rights of
electors. /

THE RAX CALL, TIJESDAY^I ULY 27, V 19Q9f
"PERFIDY" OF LYNCH
MAKES EGGERS MOAN
Expected Indorsement of Deane for Shrievalty
Nomination Causes Grief to One of Aspirants
If. there is a politician in town who is i
just a little bit sorer than any other
politician it is Fred Eggrers, one of the
seven republican's striving for ,the
shrievalty nomination. Being an acute
politician, Eggers is not making his
moan on the car tracks in the middle
of Market street. , Eggers does not be
lieve in the publicity of. political griev
ances, but when he meets a discreet
friend his grief is let loose." t
. The burden of the Eggers tale of
woe is .the perfidy of John C. Lynch,
bosslet in the Herrln dispensation.
Eggers declares 'that John Lynch has
thrown him down.
For years Eggers has cherished an
ambition to be sheriff. Even while
luxuriating in the dignity of a super
visor, Eggers gared longingly at the
big patronage office and dreamed of the
time when it should be his. :
This year, with the. enactment of the
direct primary law,' Eggers saw an op
portunity to' achieve his lifelong am
bition. So he plunged into> the fight
with vigor. As an aid to winning the
nomination, Eggers coveted the in
dorsement of the businessmen's com
mittee of 25. He received assurances
that the Indorsement would be forth
coming./He looked upon John. C. Lynch
as the man who would land it for him.
But, alas, for the vanity of human
wishes and the strength- of human
promises. That indorsement seems to
have been kept in store for John J. x
Deane. It develops that Lynch -is for
Deane; it develops that Lynch was for
Deane right along.
. So Eggers is weeping invisible tears,
cursing Johnny Lynch under his mus
tache and telling, confidentially, the
story of. how Lynch thffcw him down.
Some of the- politicians are wondering
whether a candidate who is so sus
ceptible to grief over a political re
verse is fit for the stern duties of the
sheriff's office. .
Literature of league

the- league candidates, itogether. with a
statement of the purposes and platform
of the league and indorsements of its
work from influential republicans. The
league intends to send out 45,000 of
these circulars, having ascertained
from the registrar that there is a
rough figure for the republican. vote.
The'same calculations place the demo
cratic vote at 15,000, the union* labor
vote at 7,500, the socialist vote at 2,000,

SAYS SUTTON NOT
AGGRESSOR IN FIGHT
Witness Asserts Lieutenant
Adams Insisted on Having
Fistic Combat
Doctor Declares Fatal Wound
Located Back of Dead
Man's Right Ear
AX^APOLIS, Md.," July 26.— Today's
session of 'the board of inquiry inves
tigating the circumstances surrounding
the death of Lieutenant James N. Sut
ton of the marine corps, who was mys
teriously shot^two j'ears ago, afforded
some surprises in the testimony given
by, Charles W. Kennedy, now, a private
in the marine corps . at Norfolk, Va.,
and Surgeon, A. D. McCormick, U. S. N.
Kennedy -told a frank, straightfor
ward 1 story :of some of the incidents
prior to the shooting. • His, testimony
supported the "contention of Siitton's
mother and sister; that Sutton ,did not
seek the fights With- Adams .and the
other, officers.' - v .
- In attacking his credibility, Major
Leonard, judge advocate, "went into
Kennedy's record and showed he had
been disciplined- on several occasions
In the service.
TOLD TO "KEEP QUIET"
Kennedy said he had been reluctant
to mention his part in the affair, be
cause Lieutenants Utley and Adams had
both admonished him to "keep quiet."
On his way to relieve a sentry at 1
o'clock on the morning of the_shooting
he had come upon Sutton, Adams, Os
terman and. Utley Tn an angry argu
ment, the witness said. Adams was
in his shirt sleeves ready for a fight.
-"All right, Adams, . If you want to
fight, I'll fight you,'* the witness tes
tified he heard Sutton say. "They
fought hard for a few 'minutes and
Siitton's face was bloody when Utley
stopped the fight."
He said he saw the two fight again
as he was going to his post. Half ah
hour later K^inedy heard the shots,
and soon after Adams appeared and
volunteered the information to* Ke
nnedy that Sutton had shot himself and
that Adams had had his finger shot off.
SAW PISTOL. PICKED UP
Utley also told him Sutton had killed
himself, the witness said. Next morn
ing they both cautioned him not to say
anything about the affair. While' at
early. . drill next, day the, witness said
he saw Lieutenant Utley go to the edge
of the parade grounds and pick up a
service revolver, which Utley. carried
into the barracks with him.
Kennedy's testimony was not shaken
on eross ~ examination/. ./ ; : .
Dr. McCormick -was present, at the
autopsy held on Sutton's body and ex
amined the bullet, wound, he testified.
He located the wound back of and
slightly above the right ear, while Dr.
Pickell testified It was near the top of
the head.
Several former witnesses denied that
any 'of them had handed a revolver to
Sergeant De Hart on the night of the
j shooting, as De Hart testified.
