PUBLIC VERDICT ASKED FIRST.

Noiiiihittee on Ways and Means Putting
Ih'>h'hG Touches on the Tariff Bill
ASHINGToN, ID. c., Nov 1.-THE new
Democratic tariff bill will probably be
MADE public at much earlier date than
has generally been anticipated. The
notes OF apprehension which have been
sounded since the late election have
warned the resolute tariff reformere
OF the party that the chance,
OF party success and disci-
pine depend upon boldness and
promptitude in defining policy, ami
All haste consistent with deliberation i
being made by the Democratir menu
Defs 70 complete the bill and give ii to
the country. 1t is already definitely
settled that the committee will
not wait Tor the approval of the
caucus before presenting the meas
ure to the people While some
OF the Democratic members of the
committee think that the bill might be
strengthened in the House by first
gaming the approval of the party caucus.
the majority feel that the Submission of
the bill to caucus would only lead to
lhtermnabIe wrangling and possibly
create party dissension which
might seriously embarTags the meas
ure IN It's consideration later
IN the House Besides. the
Democratic leaders contend that the
party has sufficient confidence in its
members Of the WAYS and means COM
mlttee to be quite willing To accept az
satisfactory the bill prepared bv them
alter 50 many weeks of delberatiOn
and that the report accom- panying il
viii be Of character strong enough to
silence the jasudlous criticism within
the party.
ne ways and means commIttee-or
at least the Democratic members of it
are aLI doing their work in sub-commit-
tees and the bill is so rapidly nearing
completion that a large portion Of the
report To accompany the measure on its
presentation to the House is already
prepared. Each subcommittee as it
completes the work on the schedules
referred to it for revision, prepares the
committee : report on these schedules,
and although this work is he'd to be
reviewed by the full Democratic mem
bershp OF the committee, it il likely
but few changes VIII he made While
1t Is literally true that not a
single schedule has been finally passed
upon by the full committee, 1t is none
the less true that the entire bill, subdi-
vlded az it ls among subcommittee, is
now nearly completed While tits gem
orally accepted that wool, coal. iron ore,
lumber and salt are to be added to the
free list, as we'll az various other minor
articles, Chairman Wilson and his col
leagues have pursued the prudent
policy of keeping the details Of the
reduction on manufactured articles
close secret from the public. In this
way, although it j. practically certain
that the tariff bill in It's entirety will be
announced to the public in ten days or
two weeks, the details Of the measure
will not he known until after its publica-
ton. After the sub-committees have
completed their .abors the entire bin
will be reviewed by the full Democratic
membership, and as soon as finally APP
proved it will be handed to the clerk Of
the House and at once announced to
the public as introduced

some VACANCIES EXPECTED.
Grand Jury May Make Changes In Oklahoma
Land Offices.

WAsHINGToN, u. c., Nov. 1I.-There
are likely to he some vacancies in Land
Commissioner Lamorcux's oklahoma
offices when the grand jury makes it's
report on the alleged entry frauds At
least this is the opinion of some of the
Oklahoma contingent, who have called
on the secretary of the interior in
the line of trying to find out if
he intended To make new appoint
ments To fill the places of those who had
been and evidently would he Indicted
for official Crookedness. They were
ready To make some recommendations
for the vacancies should ii be the policy
OF the secretary 10 make changes in the
offices. 1t was suggested to the scere-
tary that now, since it had been
demonstrated that it was tail
ure to import officials 10 Oklahoma
from Georgia and Wisconsin, it would
be a good plan To observe home rule and
fill the places with parties who are now
re sIdents OF Oklahoma The secretary
at last indicated that he would take no
definite action in the matter until Capt.
Hassler, the receiver ut Enid, arrives
lie is expected very soon and it j. pro-
posed by the secretary to get full
statement Of the conditions from him.

A WATCH THIEF
Imprisoned for Steallng-a Woman
Again in the Case.

Imprisoned for Steallng-a Woman
Again in the Case.
Some time ago James NJ. Griffin
and r. II. McGoldrick went to the
Washington theatre and made the
acquaintance of George Gonzales,
variety woman. Both men were
somewhat impressed with her, and
accompanied her to her stopping
place about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing. When they had entered the
parlor, this girl placed her purse,
containing SIS, and a gold watch,
on the piano. \ few moments
later, Griffin asked for a drink Of
water, and the woman left the
room, to serve him drink, leaving
the valuables still on the piano.
One hour later McGOldrick bid
Griffin and George Gonzales good
night, and left. Griffin remained
a few minutes, then left also.
This woman did not discover her
loss until the following day, when
she reported the matter to the de-
tectives, giving them a description
of the two men. Since that time
the detectives have been searching
for the alleged thieves, but could
not locate them.
Last night Captain Hughes was
passing a saloon, on Commerce
street, when drunken man APP
preached him. The Captain, being
an officer, is at times inquisitive,
and askes: "What is your name
and where do you live"
"My name is James NJ. Griffin,
by" was his reply. The thought
suddenly struck Captain Hughes
that Griffin was the man wanted
and he locked him up on the
charge of being drunk. The where
abouts of McGOIdrich was also
learned and he was jailed on the
same charge. On his person was
found the watch stolen from this
variety actress, and McGoldrich
was transferred to the county jail
on the charge of theft over $50.
The case of Griffin for being
drunk was tried by the recorder
this morning and he was fined S5.
Before his term is served out, the
officers have hopes of ascertaining
more about the crooked work OF
these men.
