BERKELEY. Nov. 9.-Transportation
activity, which has been marked IN

CHANGES IN TARIFF
LAWS ARE ASSURED
Ways and Means Committee
Promises Revision of the
Dingley Act

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The proposed
revision of the tariff was discussed at
conference today by Representatives
Payne of New York, Dalzell OF Penn
sylvania, Hill OF Connecticut and
Gaines of West Virginia, leading repub-
lican members of the house committee
on ways and means. The conference
was preliminary to the series of public
mittee will hold during the month, be-
ginning tomorrow morning.
That the committee will draw up a
new law to supersede the Dingley tariff
law and which will carry out the policy
advocated in the Chicago platform was
today admitted by one of the majority
committee has confined its efforts to
the consideration of necessary changes
IN the wording of the law in order to
secure its proper Interpretation rather
than to the question of any changes in
rates of duty, which has been left for
consideration after the hearings have
been held.
The hearing tomorrow will be de-
voted to chemicals, oils and paints. The
national wholesale druggists Will have
no representative at the hearing. This
is taken to indicate that the wholesale
druggists do not desire any changes in
the present tariffs
Indications are that adjustments in
the wording of various paragraphs of
schedule and a more explicit classi
hcation of certain articles will be all
that the committee will be asked 10 do
with regard to this schedule

Although Manager Woods does not

he does register an emphatic protest
against her elopement, inasmuch as he

that the success of his show is largely
dependent upon her presence.
Also he objects strenuously to the
disappearance of his collection of
snakes for which as is evidenced by a
warrant which he swore out this aft

have been detailed upon the case have
not succeeded in tracing the course of

the police are very hopeful of having

Bennett, who enjoy the most intimate
relations with the president and who
are considered his direct spokesman in
local political matters, refused to say
just what the president had said to

than anything else.

intimated to Messrs. Parsons and Ben
nett emphatically that he wanted Root
for SENATOR and that he wanted him as
the spokesman of the Taft administra-
ton on the floor of the senate. Mr..
Taft, it is understood, was also anxious

Lonely Road, Robbed and
Fatally Beaten

then robbed after being dragged into
bushes by the roadside near here, aged
Angelo Olcese lies at the point of death
at the home of relatives in this city.
The sheriffs Office is working on the
mystery. but so far has found no clews
which throw suspicion on any particu-
lar person.
Olcese was on his way home in the
dark when he was waylaid near town
fearfully beaten about the head and
robbed of considerable money. He was
found unconscious and brought here.
He has never regained consciousness.
Death is expected soon Efforts are
being made to trail the mysterious as

lowed and dubbed after putting up a
fight. He has resided near here since
