MAY BE FEW FIGHTS OH TARIFF
HOUSE AND SENATE LEADERS
PRACTICALLY AGREED.
A General Revision Bill Approved by
President Wilson Nearly Ready
for Congress.
Washington, D. C. The Democratic
Tariff Revision bill is finished, with
the xceptlon of a final decision upon
the sugar tariff. From beginning to
end It is a' measure modeled in ac
cord with the ideas of President Wil
son, with wool, meats and many other
rood stuffs and clothing materials on
the free list; with low duties upon
all agricultural products and food
stuffs that are not free; and with the
tariff on chemical, steel and other
oommorcial products cut far below
the present .protective rates.
The senate tariff leaders asked for
an opportunity to study the bill. They
will then confer with Oscar W. Un
derwojd, chairman of the house com
mittee on ways and means, and later
will have a final conference with
President Wilson. A careful analysis
of the senate will be made In the
meantime, to determine whether free
wool, "one cent sugar" and low rates
on "market basket" products will
prove acceptable to a majority of tho
Democrats.
Briefly summarized, the tariff devel
opments were:
President Wilson's ultimatum to
sugar Interests, that they must agree
to a tariff of one cent per pound for
three years, with free sugar after that
time, or he would attempt to secure
free sugar at once.
The completion of the bill by the
ways and means committee with the
exception of the sugar schedule.
On this, the committee is prepared
to agree on free sugar if the Presi
dent insists. Income tax rates fixed
at 1 per cent for all corporation In
comes above $5,000; 1 per cent on
personal incomes from $4,000 to $20,
000 ; 2 per cent from $20,000 to $50,
000; 3 per cent from $50,000 to $100,
000; 4 per cent above $100,000.
The President submitted his propo
sal on the sugar tariff to Representa
tive Broussard of Louisiana early In
the day. Louisiana senators and rep
resentatives conferred throughout the
day, and sounded out other members
of the senate, to determine whether
enough strength could be secured to
fight the free sugar features of the
plan. They had reached no decision
at this time, however, as to the course
they would take.
SUFFRAGETTES USING BOMBS
A Railway Station at Oxted In Surrey
Blown Up to Revenge
Pankhurst.
Oxted, Surrey, England. Suffra
gettes blew up the railway station at
Oxted In Surrey. An alarm clock set
for 3 o'clock, a contrivance similar to
those used by dynamiters In America,
was found In the wreckage, and also
a loaded revolver. Militant placards
told that the explosion was the work
of the women.
The lavatory of the station was de
molished and the walls, windows and
doors damaged. So far as known no
body was injured.
Stockport, England. Explosives
partly wrecked a London & North
western railway train near here. The
carriages were almost empty and no

for the conviction of Mrs. Pankhurst

by the directorates of all the railroad
systems in the United Kingdom to the
effect that militant suffragettes had
threatened to burn stations in various
parts of the country. Patrols will be
stationed at all stations and in tunnels.

tions, General Huerta has agreed to
the naming of Pedro Lnscuraln as

ceived here directly from the national
capitol. Lascuraln will serve out the
uncompleted term of the late Madero,
if named.
As minister of exterior relations in
Madero's former cabinet, Lascuraln Is
entitled to serve as next In line In
view of the deaths of Madero and
Vice-President Suaroz. The Huerta
cabinet would be retained by the
compromise.
The City of Mexico. The breaking
ort of all negotiations for peace with
Zapata has forced the government to
mobilize a strong force for a campaign
against the southern rebels. That has
been done in spite of teh fact that
rebel successes in the north have
made . imperative the dispatch of a
large part of tho regular army to that
region. - .
The war department says that gov
ernlSont troops will begin moving Into
those districts occupied by Zapata's
followers. That concentration will
continue until an army of ten thou
sand men has been gathered.
The followers of Zapata have circu
lated numerous manifestos repudiat
ing Huerta and Felix Diaz, and calling
on the people to support the Zapata
movement.

MAIL POUCHES IN THE FLOOD
Postage Stamps and Currency Des

a Soaking.

worth of postage stamps and new cur
rency of the face value of approxi
mately $100,000, all water soaked by
being marooned in the flood district,
has reached the postoffice here. The

Ironed."
The stamps were destined to post
offices In all parts of the Southwest,
the orders from postmasters ranging
from $100 to $20,000, according to the
size of the office. A temporary stamp
famine may be the result in some
places.

AND ORGANIZE.
Large Crowds Filled the Galleries
Long Before the Time Set
for Opening.
.Washington, D. C The extraordi
nary session of the Sixty-third con
gress has convened.
Popular interest centered in the
house of representatives where Rep
resentative Champ Clark, Democrat,
was re-elected . to the speakership
shortly after the session opened. Rep
resentatives James R. Mann of Illi
nois, Republican, was placed in nomi
nation for that office by the minority.
He received a rousing demonstration,
but was overwhelmingly defeated.
Other officers selected by the house
were as follows: Clerk, South Trim
ble of Kentucky; sergeant-at-arms,
Robert E. Gordon of Ohio; doorkeep
er, Joseph J. SInnott of Virghiia; post
master, William M. Dunbar.

the senate, that body having been or
ganized before its adjournment on

spicious In Democratic history. It
marked the first time in nearly a
score of years that Democrats ' have
had complete control of the senate,
the house of representatives and the
presidency.

ing open the doors of the house and
senate galleries, the capitol was be

of prettily gowned women the wives
of senators and representatives, with
a fair sprinkling of suffragettes.
Convene Promptly at Noon.

rected that both houses convene at
noon and promptly at 12 o'clock the
gavel of Vice-President Marshall fell

delivered the invocation. The roll of
senators was called in the usual way
and committees appointed to notify
the house and the president that the
senate was ready to transact busi
ness. In the house Clerk Trimble ascend
ed to the speaker's rostrum and di
rected the reading of the president's
proclamation. He was accorded a
noisy reception. The proclamation
was read and Trimble announced that
in accordance with precedent and the
constitution it was necessary to call
the roll of the new house by states.
The house chamber had been
equipped with benches instead of the
old style desks and looked much like
the English commons. While the role
was called members Jokingly asked
each other how they liked the new
seats and the old timers tried to fig
ure out how they could ever get used
to this radical innovation.
Motor Bandit Hid Poison.

Munyon's Paw-Paw
Pills are unlike all oth

tics. They coax the
liver into activity by
gentle methods, they
do not scour; they do
not gripe; they do not
weaken; but they do
start all the secretions
of the liver and atom
ach in a way that tooa
puts these organs in a
healthy condition and
corrects constipation. Munyon's Paw-Paw
Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and

they enrich the blood instead of Impover
