Hides, Free Coal and Reduction In
Schedules concerening the Neoes-
stiles Of Life.
lny Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, II. u Juiy 49,.
Slight. but unmistable evidences OF
iIact on between the President and
the conferees on the tariff bill today
bt gan to disturb the hitherto pleasant
relations existing between the White
House and the capital.
A last effort has been made by the
conferees to induce the President {,
consent TO the striking out the corpo-
ration amendment without success.
The President not only told Senator
Aldrlch and Mr.. Payne that he wcnld
not only not withdraw from his POSI-
ton in favor of this tax, but that he
was assured of SUITES mt votes TO keep
the provision in the bal and to insure
it's adoption In both houses.
Plans were taken ct theWhite House
today to make ii clear that President
taft did not send for Messrs Aldrich
and Payne on ahe occasion OF last
nights conference. despite the intima-
ton gwen out in executive circles that
these two leaders had been summoned
By Mr.. Taft upon word reaching his
ears that the corporation tax was
about to be dashed to pieces on the
rocks.
Conferees Are Pledged.
: In his talks with. the senate con-
ferees regarding the bill, President
Taft has been met with the statement
that while the conrerees would be
giad TO do ali in their power 20 carry
gu, his wishes with respect to certain
schedules. they stand pledged 20 GER
tain CT their colleagues In the Senate
whose constituents are particularly IN
terested in the matters under con-
sheraton and cannot alter their posi-
ton in support Of the senate rates. rn-
released from the pledges given.
The conferees have suggested to the
President that he send personally for
the senators, TO whom the pledges 10
stand firm. were given.
The President, IL is declared has
adopted this suggestion.
Talk o. Veto Revived.
All of those newly discovered facts
have revived the talk of possible
veto by President Taft when the bill
reaches him.
lne fftSiutnt mas ln0icateu 10 tne
conferees that he is particularly in
ferested in seeing free hides, fres
oil, free coal and a material reduction
In the lumber schedule.
He also expressed his interest in
other schedules which have to do with
the necessaries OF life.
Excellent progress on schedules
was made by the conferees today. a

tural products having been adjusted.

t is Generally Conceded to be Un- constitutional, But Was Referred
 By Small Majority.

Havana, Nov. S.-A proposition 10 impose $l as the maximum export duty on each bag of sugar produced in Cuba constitutes the principal pro vision Of a bill which occupied the entire attention of the first working session of the House of Representa-. tiyes today.
 The bill was presented by Congress- man Masferrer. It recited that the sugar producing companies which are mainly foreign corporations contribu- ted no taxes to the support of the government for which reason all such not employing Cuban tenant labor, "colones" chould be required to pay S1 per bag export duty, to be gradu- ally reduced, according to the propo- sition in which the companies em- ployed "eolones" to 25 cents per bag The avowed purpose. of the bill is to increase Cuban revenues.
 The bill also praxides for reduc- ton of 25 per cent in the duty on sugar machinery from the United States and for reduction of 30 per cent in the duty on blows and other implements of manuel labor. Con siderable amusement resulted when it was discovered that such articles are now admitted free
 The bill finally was referred to the committee by slender majority. It is regarded as plainly unconstitutional and impossible of passage.
