On the street women look much the
same as usual; it is in evening dress
we notice a marked difference. At
evening affairs we seem transported
back to stately days Of old. so many

REVISION OF TARIFF
Is Warmly Urged by Ex-Gov. Doug
lass, Shoe Manufacturer.

Boston. Jan. 14-Former Governor
William L. Douglas issued statement
today declaring himself unreservedly
III favor of immediate revision Of the
tariff and stating that the interests of
of Massachusetts demand the admiS-
sion DUTY free of hides. sole leather,
coal, lumber, iron ore and wood pulp.
Mr.. Douglas devoted the principal part
OF his statement 10 the prOba BILE effect
Of tariff revision on the branch of in
dustry in which he is engaged

'AS manufacturer l ask for I, re-
vIsed tariff. 1 would gladly give up the
duty of - per cent. on shoes for free
raw. materials. l will so farther than
this and say that I would exchange The
duty on shoes for free hides and sole
leather. If the handicap of taxed lec.th-
er were taken away. | could manufac-
ture shoes rs cheaply as any foreign
manufacturer anG could safely get tine

back. however. by the high cost of ma
terials that enter into our product. Give
our manufacturers free raw materials
and they will carry Massachusetts
goods into every market of the world"

Rumors Of Compromise on
Philippine Tariff
But No Definite Agreement
So Far Announced.
Leaders Sure Of Passage Opponents Say
They Can Defeat Il.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Rumors of n
compromise between the Republican
leaders and the Republican opponents
of the Philippine tariff bill We're dis
cusstd today by members of Congress
but nothing like a definite proposition
has been made and consequently no
understanding has been reached. One
OF the beet sugar men has suggested to
Chairman Payne and Mr.. DalZell that
q compromise might be offered which
would prohibit the importation of Il
certain amount of sugar and tobacco
from The Philippines. This was not Sc
riously considered by these members of
the ways ana means committee as they
are confident of sufficient votes to pass
the bill without material amendment.
There WAS Just enough in the sugSeS-
ton, however, to cause discussion
among members of the House who are
very much interested in the present
conditions. 1t is understood that no
proposition for 4 compromise Will be
considered by the House managers, I'M
less the statehood bill is also made Il
part OF the agreement. y combination
having been formed by the opponents
of the Philippine bill and the opponents
OF the joint statehood bill, any compro-
mise affecting one must include the
other which means that the leaders
viii not agree to Il modification of the
Philippine bill in the sugar and tobacco
interests unless those who seek such Il
compromise abandon the fight against
the statehood bill. Speaker Cannon and
his supporters feel that they are sure of
the Philippine bill and that it would be
useless to compromise on that unless
some advantage could be gained with
the other measures about which there
is so much doubt. but which they be-
lieVe they will eventually be able to
pass without amendment.
The suggestion for Il compromise on
the Philippine bill was made on the
ground that the Republicans would be
able to pass modified measure with
Republican votes as it is believed the
Democrats would oppose any amend
ment looking to a restriction upon the
importation of products of the islands,
but the House leaders do not agree that
the Philippine bill will need Demo-
cratic votes in its present form. They
think there are enough Republicans for
the bill to insure majority. Nor do
they believe that the insurgents on the
statehood bill have votes enough to de-
feat the rule which is proposed to pre-
vent the amendments to that measure.
ana they contend also that the nSur-
gents will grow weaker instead Of
stronger.

IN THE HOUSE.
Nine Speeches Saturday on Philippine
Tariff Bill.

Washington. Jan. 14-Thcre were
nine speeches in the House Saturday
on the Philippine tariff bill. consum-
ing nearly 6ia hours. Three of the
81 eakers opposed the bill and six
favored it. Those who argued for tn"
measure We're: Gaines of Tennessee:
Thomas of North Carolina. who in
cluded a plea for the Southern farmer
ana demanded reciprocity to benefit
the cottonseed oil industry; Needham
Of California;: Garrett of Tennessee;
Gardner of Massachusetts. who dcvot-
ed the major portion of his remarks
To the tariff needs Of his state. and
urged the Republicans of the House
to amend the tariff, simply as to the
schedules on hides and sole leather.
ard Scott of Kansas.
The opponents To the measure We're
Young of Michigan. Loud Of Michigan.
and Norris Of Nebraska.
The debate is to close Monday at :,
o'clock, the session to begin ut II in
the morning.
The Massachusetts tariff situation
was discussed by Gardner of that
state. He announced himself good
deal of a ''stand-pat" protectionist. At
the same time he recognized the grow
ing sentiment in his state for revision.
The demand of the shoe manufacturers
for free hides and sole leather, he said,
was the only real addition to the ma
tural Democratic tariff element in the
state. He suggested that it would be
wise craftsmanship to revise these
two schedules without going into Il
general tariff revision.
