PRESIDENTS PET
is TURNED DOWN
Philippine Bill is Tied Up in
Committee
ALL HIS EFFORTS IN VAIN
Measure Was Passed In House After
Short Fight, But Met Its Waterloo
Before the Senate
Committee.

Washington, March Special with
In twenty-four hours after the President
had surrendered to the Senate repubH-
can leaders and announced his willing
ness to accept amendment to the Hep
burn bill, which only the other day ne
was in favor of passing without amend
ment, the Senate organization turned
down one of his pet measures, the Phil
ippine tariff bill.
This action was taken by the Senate
committee on foreign relations this morn
ing. Five of the eight republican mem
bers of the committee voted against the
bill and it is now securely tied up in the
Senate committee.
Pressed Measure Strenuously.
Next to railroad legislation no measure
has been so strenuously pressed by the
President as the Philippine tariff bill.
Realizing that it was democratic in prin-
ciple, Secretary Taft even went so far as
to cary a party of members of Congress
to the Philippines last summer in the
hope that the republicans who made the
trip would be willing TO vote for redue-
ton of the tariff rates between the United
States and the Philippines.
One of the members was Representa-
tive Payne of New York, chairman OF
the House ways and means committee.
Shortly after Congress met he introduced
the bill in the House and it passed after
brief struggle with the beet sugar
republicans aided by about dozen demo-
Gratis from sugar producing states In his
message to Congress the President de-
voted several pages to the advocacy Of
the Philippine tariff bill. He has also
appealed to the republican congressman
personally to support it and the snag
struck by the bill In the Senate today
is very humiliating to the President and
Secretary Taft who has spent hours maxi
ing arguments before the congressional
committees for the bill.
Senators Up In Air.
Senator Doliver. Senator Clapp and
other republican leaders who are honest
ly In favor OF railroad legislation, which
counts are entirely up in the air over
the Presidents new stand on the subject
They probably hope, however that by to-
morrow he will take another position on
the bill, which will bring him back to
their views and the one he has hereto
fore held on the subject

hands managed to pacify him after a
while.

confronting this problem. The only
way to the stage is up a narrow, wind

out?
Some suggested that the whole the

chairs, would have to be sunk to King

Meantime, Kingston, with a plentiful
supply of oats, was making it plain

It's cracked up to be, anyhow.
