Bailey Anglers Progressives

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Had it not
been for the attitude of the progress
i've republicans" who favored the
adoption Of an income tax amendment
to the tariff bill, it is probable that
Bailey might have reached an agree
ment today with members of the
finance committee for a vote on his
amendment of June 10.
Offense was taken by some of the
insurgent republicans because of the
notice served by the Texas senator
yesterday that no general agreement
could be obtained on any phase of the
tariff bill long Aldrich refused
permission for the fixing of a date for
a vote on Baileys income tax amend
ment.
1t was made clear at informal con-
ferences that the republicans support
ing the Cummins amendment desire the
continuance Of coalition with the DEM
ocrats, but that they did not want it
at the expense of surrendering the con-
troll of the income tax fight to the DEM

DEMOCRATS WANT
SUGAR PROTECTED
Louisiana Senators Differ as to
Word, but Agree on Ask
ing High Duty
Beveridge Quotes Speeches OF
Taft to Show Desire for Re-
vision Downward

WASHINGTON. May 25.--The senate
today began the formal consideration
of the sugar schedule. but did not ap-
proach vote upon it. Instead the
time was entirely given over to speech
making and two democrats-Foster
and McEnery of Louisiana-advocated
high tariff on sugar of all grades.
Foster laugfingly deprecated the ap
plication OF the word protection" TO
his attitude, but MeEnery boldly
espeused the protective theory and
openly advised his democratic friends
to follow his exampleA He said that
protection was in the line of demo-
cratic policy.
The lumber schedule was temporar-
lily put aside to permit the committee
on finance to make changes in it.
Beveridge spoke in support of his
contention that President Taft had
been consistent advocate of a down.
ward revision OF the tariff. He fol-
lowed the maiden effort of his demo-
cratic colleague, Shiveley, who under
took to prove that If the tariff bill now
before the senate should become q law
the rates over which tne senate is
wrangling would not constitute the
tariff, but that the country would find
itself operating under the maximum
rate.
Beveridge did not profess to appear
as the authorized mouthpiece of the
president but on the contrary was
especially careful to say such was not
the case. He stated that his repre-
sentation of the presidents views con-
sisted entirely in the quotation of pub
lie utterances of the chief executive,
which were available to all.
\ defense of his vote for a duty of
a6 cents ton on iron ore was made
by Stone. AS a prelude TO this state
ment he read from an interview with
William j. Bryan, declaring that demo-
cratic senator's who had voted for the
tariff on iron ore made a mistake.
After an elaborate enunciation of his
affectionate regard and respect for
Bryan, Stone insisted that in this case
he believed the Nebraskan to be in
error, and proceeded to give the argu-
nrents which had Influenced him in
reaching the conclusion that "a duty
for revenue" should be levied upon
iron ore.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
EXTREME APATHY.
Prices Drifted Back to the Lowest in
the Late Dealings.

New York, March 19.-The stock
market became extremely apathetic
today as the belief became stronger
that the gust of activity on the two
previous days might be taken to show
all the interest stirred by the intro
duction of the tariff bill n congress.
Professional operators were disposed
to close up outstanding contracts ow
ing to the small prospect of any early
activity in the market. When prices
sagged a demand developed which was
taken to indicate that uncovered shorts
still had some necessities to provide
for. Their professional brethren
thereupon bid up prices on them. A
drive against the market was helped
by acute weakness in the marlborough
Metropolitan stocks on account Of the
mornings report of new bidders for the
construction OF subways under the
eastern portion Of the city. The con-
lecture Of powerful railroad backing
for this new project gave its force, al
though the rumor that the New York
New Haven and Hartford was EN-
barked in the enterprise was without
confirmation. The local traction group
was affected more or less in sympa-
thy. The Hill railroads and Chesa-
peake and Ohio were the principal fea-
lures on the other side Of the move
ment, the last rising to the highest
price or IT'S history. Prices drl1ted
back to the lowes- in the neglect Of the
afternoon. News was little regarded.
although a rise in copper quotations
at the New York metal exchange and
in the London market may have had
some steadying influence on Amafga-
mated Copper. A similar effect on
United States Steel was due possibly
to a statement credited to Chairman
Gary that $10,000,000 bettleship order
had been placed with the Bethlehem
Steel company by the Argentine gov
eminent and reyivifying effect on the
steel trade might be expected TO result.
The heavy taking of gold coin for ship
ment TO London tomorrow, reaching a
total of S3300,000. aroused caIcula-
tions as to the effect on the money
market Time loans were called some
IS hat firmer today. The weeks outgo
o. eoid seems to be more than offset
by the gains by the banks on sub
treasury operations and the balance of
receipts on the Inferior movement of
currency. The market was free from
depressing influences from abroad and
some buying Of options on American
stocks is reported from the London
market. Bonds were irregular. Total
sales, par value, $3,162,000. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

Pittsburg, March 1.-THE first prize
winners in the three classes, five men.
two men, and individual events, dur
ing the ninth annual international
tournament of the American Bowling
congress, which concludes a three
weeks meeting in this city tomorrow
evening. are given below. The list is
compiled by the Associated Press, and
while it is "a hours in advance of the
official list, it is not believed the
scores of the games yet to be PLAYED
will materially, if at all, change the
results.
First honor in the f1ve-men class is
taken by the Lipman team of Chicago
with a worlds record OF 2s962. Their
prize is 500.
Al and Tony Schwoegler Of Madison,
Wis. are first in the double class with
a worlds record score Of 1904. Their
prize is $430.
First place in the individual list
is undecided F. Bruggeman of Sioux
City. Iowa, and Larry Sutton of Ro-
chester, N. Y. are tied for this hon.
or with score Of 691. This is eight
points less than the record made at
Cincinnati last year. The tie will be
rolled off tomorrow evening. In the
all-events honor role, ]. Bloine of Chi
cago, is first with a score of 1885.
His prize Is $160.

LOOK OUT FOR FAKE.
Hurst's Job as Referee in Coming
KetcheI o'Brien Fight.

New York, March 19.-When Tim
Hurst enters the ring of the National
A. c. next Friday night to referee the
ter round bout between Stanley Ketch-
ell, the middleweight champion, and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien he will as
sumo an unusual responsibility. Be-
cause of O'Brien's reputation as a pu-
gilistic faker it will be up to Hurst to
decide whether the bout is strictly on
the level or not. If Hurst reaches the
conclusion that anything is wrong he
will notify the club directors, who will
decline to pay the men for their SER
vices as entertainers" while the club
members will receive their ''reserv--
tions" back. There has been many
rum ors in circulation ever since Ketch
ell and O'Brien were matched several
weeks ago. One report has it that
Ketchel will not try to knock OBrien
out and that the "inside wise guys
will try to get down bets that theP hill
adelphian will stay the limit.
O'Brien Is one Of the best boxers in
the profession, but he cannot hit hard
enough to hurt such a rugged man as
Ketchel. On the other hand, Ketchel
is a terrific puncher and a fast, ag-
gressive pugilist. who believes in rush
ing to close quarters for incessant
mixups 1t will be comparatively easy
therefore for Referee Hurst to deter
mine whether Ketchel is trying his
best or not, and as Hurst is a con-
scientious, fearless referee. the club
members feel that they will be pro-
tected. Just why Ketchel has taken
OBrien on instead Of Sam Langford
is something of q puzzle. Ketchel is
apparently proud of the fact that he
is the middleweight champion of the
world, yet he has studiously avoided
a fight with Langford, who stands
ready to make 1853 pounds ringside for
him. OBrien has not fought good
man since Tommy Burns double cross
ed him at Los Angeles more than a
year ago, and as Burns has since turn
ed out to be a second rater O'Brien
does not look like a first class fighter
lust at present.
