WON'T DELAY
 TARIFF BILL Democratic Senators Hold Conference. TO PROCEED WITH MEASURE Win Permit Republicans to lake
 Entire Charge. Generai Expression of opssien In shs confercsce Inaieates That TAere Would Net Be Many
 Extended Speeches.
 

Washington, April 1s--The Demo4 cratic Senators will not delay the pas< sage of the tarin bill. v
 They held their second conference today and while no formal conclusion was reached on any point. there was a general consensus of opinion in fa- vor of permitting the Republicans to take entire charge of the measure, with the understanding that they as- sufne. aa they necessarily must the entire responsibility for it.
 It has been stated that the post- ponement of proceedings in the Senate was due to request from the Demo-s crats. but they take exception to this statement. and say that they will be prepared to proceed with the consid- eration of the bill whenever the Re- pubiicans are desirous to take it up.s and more than this. they will be wili-I ing to have the Republicans extend the hours .! the sittings. and after reas- enable session. to permit the majority to name time for taking the final vote.
 The general expression of opinion in the conference indicates that there would not be a gerat number of ex-i tended speeches on the bill, but that there would be . desire to discuss many of the schedules. and especially some of the amendments which will be offered by Democratic Senators.
 The nearest approach to a formal agreement at today's meeting was a' reiteration of their former expression in favor of an income tax. There Is no douht that the party in the Senate E united on that point. but there was no effort to bring about . concrete npdere sending on rates of duty on any of the articles covered by the tarin There was no divergence of opinion as to the desirabiilty of a general reduce ton of rates on necessaries of life. but some tndications that individual Democratic Senators would stand against specified decreases in the in- terssts of their own localities,
 The mesting broke up without fixing a definite time for future meetings. but there was an understanding that other conferences would be held from time to time upon the call of Chairman CulberHOn. is

Mr. Cudahy.s Statement.

Omaha, Eeb.. April l6.-Mr. A. E.. Cudahy, Vioe-President and General Manager of the Cudahy Packing Com pany, gave the following statement to the Associated Press this afternoon:
 The dispute between the Government and ourselves is simply question of cremical analysis. For some time past. we have been aware that the Govern ment officials have been taking sam ples of our butterine ally over the country, wherever the goods have been on sale These samples. they claim, show the infinitesimal use of artificial coIoroie matter. We have had siml- lar samples submitted to the leading chemical analysts of the United states and they have assured us that the butterine was not colored. Every man in our employ in our Kansas City butterine factory-the only place where we make butterine-having a knowl- edge of the manufacture of the goods, have made afiidavits that no coloring matter has been used. As the goods were sold by us as uncolored goods, and by our customers to the trade as such, there has been no attempt on our part to defraud the Government of revenue ."

A Diplomatic Move.

Chicago. April 1e.--In advance of officiai Information the action of the Burlington today in annoucing a two and one half cent passenger rate in move which will end the litigation be- tween that state and the railroads. all of which are expected to follow the Burlington's iead@khe state.
 When Ludge McPherson in the Fed. erAi Court declared the state two cent rate law. the railroads announced their intention of keeping three cent fare rate.
 The state secured temporary in- junction restraining them from this action and the roads have since con- tinued to operate at i've cents mile
 Ts. zsna Mitigation. 4 cnicaEo, April is-Darius Miller. first vice president of the Burlington, announced today that the Burlington had notified ali railroads operating in Missouri that 1t would voluntary es- tabHsh two and ons-half cent pas- senger rate in" the State. May 1, and that the dectSion was expected to end all litigation between that Common wealth and railroads.
 Following the notification to the railroads of the Burlington's action, J. Francis. General Passenger Agent of the road. stated that the two and one- half cent rate had been determined up- on as a compromise with Governor Hadley regarding the injunction re- straining the roads from returning to 6 three cent passenger rate.
 "The Burlington has determined to establish the 2 Ia cent rate as a final outcome of all negotiations with Gov ernor Hadley." said MT. Francis. The result of the failure to effect com promise Is thus seen. The Burlington believes that the injunction brought by the State of Missouri restraining the road from returning to a three cent rate, will be dissolved.
 "The decision of Judge McPherson abolishins the two cent rate gave us the right to return to the three cent. save for the injunction secured by the State, but the officials of the railroad have decided. not to await dissolu- ton of the injunction and the new rate will in no way be affected by the States suit"
