"TARIFF THE ISsUE"-ALLIsON.
Senator Says It VIII he Revised. and the
Only Question Is by Whom.

Only Question Is by Whom.
CHICAGO. May 31.-"The issue Of the COM
ing Presidential campaign will be whether
the Republicans or the Democrats shall
revise the tariff. 1t is certain there will be
arevision, and feel sure that the Republi-
can party will be chosen to do it, declared
Senator Allison of Iowa to-day.
Senator Allison was in Chicago on his
way to Des Moines to look over his forces
preparatory to the primary battle on Tues
day between him and Gov. Cummins for
the Senatorship
Senator Allison defended the record Of
the present Congress and declared that it
had done good work and had not retarded
legislation, and added that the new money
law would prove acceptable to all the in
terests that have been fighting it. He ridi-
culed the La Toilette filibuster.
-Of course there are going to be many
points on which the lines will be drawn
between the major parties said Mr.. ALI
son, "but think that the revision question
will dominate. / think that il the Repub-
licans are victorious a special session Of
Congress will be called to take up the matter
after the election.
Sentiment in Washington is that Sec
retary Taft will be the nominee, with little
or no opposition after the convention opens
or course my opinion is only that gained at
tho Capitol, but / think that the Repub-
lican nominee will be Mr.. Taft. For Vice
President? have no idea.
"The opposition to the currency bill came
from the bankers, who thought that the
rate Of interest was too high. In my opin-
ion it is a good BILL and it would have been
disastrous thing for the country had the
filibuster been successful"

WHITE HOUSE WORK FOR TAFT
p RESIDENT WANTS w. MURRAY
CRANE TO RUN CAMPAIGN.


Enthusiasm for the Bay state Sena-
tor--The Taft Programme to he Made
Out ut the white House This Week.
WASHINGTON. May S1.--With Congress
of his hands President Roosevelt will begin
tomorrow to fix up things in preparation
for an Administration triumph at the Re-
publican national convention. Not that
he has boon idle in that direction, but with
only sixteen days remaining to arrange
hard and determine on definite programme
for the Administration forces.
1t is expected that there will be a con-
ference at the White House tomorrow of
Administration adherents who are COM
mitted to Tafts candidacy. including
Senators, Representatives and party work
ers. The preparation Of the platform
will be one Of the most important matters
to be discussed, and with Senator Albert j
Hopkins of Illinois practically chosen as
chairman Of the platform committee 1t is
supposed that he will attend.
But the vital question will be that of choos-
ing a campaign manager for Taft, for the
White House conference will proceed on the
theory that Taft is to be nominated. 1t is
the understanding that President Roosevelt
wants Senator W. Murray Crane Of Massa-
chusetts for this Office In spite OF the pretty
we'll grounded belief that Mr.. Crane has
disapproved Of the methods taken to bring
about Mr.. Taft's nomination. In 100.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked Mr.. Crane to be his
campaign manager, but Mr., Crane de-
clined.
Hints have been conveyed to the Massa-
chusetts Senator that his services are de-
sired, it is said, but so far he has not shown
disposition to accept these overtures.
One story is that Mr.. Crane is dissatisfied
with the manner in which the Roosevelt
and Taft forces have treated Senator Joseph
B. Foraker and will make no concessions
unless the great services which Mr.. Foraker
has rendered the party are openly recog-
nized by the Administration and the fight
to eliminate him from public life ceases.
There is nothing to show yet that Mr..
Taft shares the Presidents wish to get Mr..
Cranes help. Mr.. Taft is supposed to re-
gard Charles II. Brooker, national commit
teeman from Connecticut, and George Won
l.. Meyer, Pcstmaster-General Of the United
States, as being suited for the responsible
business of conducting the coming politi-
cal battle. Mr.. Crane, however, would be
more acceptable probably to most Of the
party leaders, and it is expected that his
friends among them will urge him not to
reject the overtures Of the President, Both
Arthur l. Vorys and Frank Il. Hitchcock,
the ante-convention Taft managers, are
regarded as out Of the running

whom were women and children, were
much excited. Trainmen and some men
passengers shouted for everybody to be
quiet, saying there was no danger. The ex-
plosions continuing, however, frightened
boys and men forced their way past the
guards ON the platforms and opening the
gates or clambering over them, jumped TO

women managed to do the same thing, all
being in great danger Of being hurled into
the deep water OF the bay.
These persons saw smoke pouring from

were leaping up around the third car. and
the passengers in that car-more than, a
hundred-fought their way into other cars.
The jam was terrific and two women fain ted.

three or four baymen got water and sand

Then she made for the bell buoy OF the
