MEASURE WILL BE RMT
President Adhere* to Belief That the
Completed Bill Will Constitute a
Revision of the Tariff in the Gen
erally Accepted Sense and That It
Will Warrant His Signature as a
Step in the Right Direction.
Charlotte, N. C., May 21.—Although
some senators and representatives
who recently have talked with the

congress will not be through with the
pew tariff bill before Aug. 1 Mr. Taft
come to the conclusion from con
sultations with the leaders of both
senate and house that the bill will be
in his hands not later than June 20.
The president expressed himself posi
tively on the subject while here.
Mr. Taft adheres also to the belief
that when the bill does come from
the conference it will constitute a re
vision of the tariff in tho generally
accepted sense and that It will be
such a measure aa will warrant his

Washington, May 21.—"1 want to

The Virginia senator's attitude
aroused especial Interest on thfi Re
publican side of the chamber and Mr
Aldrich gave especial attention to hl9
remarks, at times nodding a smiling
assent to the proposition of the Vir
glnia senator. Of the twenty-three
qucbracho factories of the country
nine are located in Virginia and Mr
Daniel declared that protection should
be given the industry. He said a
great trust with headquarters In Lon
don and Berlin would drive the Amer
ican manufacturers out of the market
If they had their way in obtnlning a
very small duty on imports Into thi*
country, oi more, to obtain free trade,
which they desired. He explained
that by making solid quebracho ex
tract in place of the liquid product, on
which the duty of one-half a cent a
poui'd was levied, the foreigners had
practically cut the duty in half and
he desired a duty of seven-eighths of
a cent a pound on the solid extract to
equalize the tariff.
TAFT GREETED BY
AN IMMENSE THRONG
Charlotte, N. C., May 21.—President
Taft and party, on arrival here, were
greeted by an Immense throng which
had gathered at the Southern Railway
station. A heavy rain fell during the
morning, but ceased Just before Mr
Taft reached the city.
It required the services of several
companies of militia to keep the
cheering crowds at the depot in
check as the president alighted and
made his way to a waiting carriage.
Mr. Taft, accompanied by Captain
Archibald Butt, hhs military aide, was
met at North Charlotte by a loca
committee. Despite the cessation of
rain as the president arrived the
weather continued threatening, but in
nowise Interfered with the carrying
out of the programme. Interest in
the president's visit to Charlotte cen
tered in the attitude he would take
toward the Mecklenburg declaration
of Independence, the anniversary of
the signing of which is celebrated
throughout the state of North Caro
Una the 20th of each May. Mr. Taft
assumes the position that regardless
of the exact language of the deelara
tion made in May, 1775, a full year
before the signing of the Jefferson
declaration at Philadelphia July 4.
1776, the tact remains that there was
a declaration of independence on the
part of citizens of North Carolina.
It is not so material as to the ex
act language used," said the presi
dent "The measure of a declaration
for the principles of civil liberty and
self-government
is not so much the
abuse or denunciation of the former
controlling power as the provisions
made for the future form of govern
ment. The impressive thing about
the North Carolinan proposition is the
sensible way the people of the state
after deciding to sever relations with
Great Britain, went about the matter
of setting up a government of their
own."
While the president was reviewing
the parade a cloudburst broke over
the city and caused a panic tn the
dense crowd gathered in front of the
stand where Mr. Taft waa seated. No
one was seriously hurt.

has been held for the grand Juiy on

done the murder and says she duos
not know who did it.
Miss Arbogast's arraignment was
