WASHINGTON, May 12.-The line of
policy to be pursued by both repub-
licans and democrats in disposing

Any substitute or amendment to Mr..
Jones schedules offered by a repub-

amendments reported by Senator
Jones, the republicans supported them

rate fixed by the Wilson bill and the
bill reported by the senate finance
committee.
Where an article originally on the
free list in the democratic bills was
given specific duty, Senator Mills, of
Texas, voting mo- but when an ad

leages for its adoption.
This course will be followed through

the final vote upon the adoption of the
bill, when the republicans will vote
against the measure as a whole and
will hope for enough democratic aid to
beat it

the larva it's strong resemblance to those

it can hold and swing the whole body
