TARIFF LEGISLATION
LONG DELAYED
PRESIDENT TAFT TRYING TO
KEEP OUT OF FIGHT.
The Impression Is That the Real Tariff
Bill Will Have to Be Framed by
Conference Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 6-The posi-
bilities Of the passage of the tariff
bill and the adjournment of the specia
session of Congress before June Is OF
July l seem to have vanished. This
conclusion has been reached by the
President as a result of recent talks
with Senators and Representatives
and he made it known today. The
Senate is not making the headway
with the Aldrich measure that was
expected, and before the new tariff
law can be presented to the President
for his action there must ensue q
long conference between the repre-
sentatives Of tho two houses of Con
gress.
Among those who have followed the
trend of important legislation on the
tariff there is a belief that the real
tariff revision bill remains to be
framed in conference. Whatever in
fluence President Taft can bring to
bear in securing a satisfactory meas
ure will be exerted upon the con-
ferees. The President is averse to be-
ing drawn into the fight at any stage
and there is no thought that he will
be until the conferees begin their con-
sderation of the two bills as passed
by the House and Senate.
In view of conflicting reports as to
the Presidents attitude on various
special taxation propositions that have
been suggested in connection with the
new bill the President has reiterated
his position to recent callers. He is
still hopeful that the revenue to be de-
rived from the new bill, and with econ
omy in the administration of the gov
ernment, will prove sufficient to pre-
vent a deficit.
If it should be shown that the gov,
ernment finances are in need of fur
ther support to meet the current ex-
penditures the President will adhere
to his original position that a gradu-
ated federal inheritance tax is the
most just that could be levied and
would prove the easiest to collect. II
such tax should not prove sufficient
to meet the necessities of the govern
ment, or if it should not appeal to the
majority of Congress, the President
favors a Senate substitute, or, as an
additional means of collecting revenue,
the imposition of an excise tax on the
dividends of corporations. An income
tax, he believes, and always has be-
lieved should be levied only as last
resort.
The President has endeavored to
make his position clear on these
points, and is more amused than any,
thing else at the attempts of the ad-
vocates of the different measures to
commit him absolutely to any one of
the special tax propositions.

Hardware.

April closed with a splendid rocerd
for the hardware trade in all lines,
that month showing an improvement
over April Of last year of nearly forty
per cent. April also showed an i'm
provement over March. Inquiries this
week indicate that May holds much
in store for the trade, although it is
usually dull month.
From the standpoint of Southern
Jobbers conditions are admirable this
season, although trade cannot be said
to have regained normal volume. Re
tailers who formerly bought heavily
in manufacturing markets have re-
mained CLOSE to Shore buying in
smaller quantities and more frequent
orders and giving their business to
nearby jobbers. Southern houses
have made many new friends and in
vaded new territory this year that
promises them good returns in the fu-
ture.
Prices continue rm with little prob
ability of advancing until the tariff
question is disposed of by Congress
Prospects for a good fall business are
satisfactory, although yet dependent
upon the crop situation. Several dis
astrous storms have visited various
sections of the South, but have effect
ed trade very little and do not appear
to have injured crops materially.

In a communication from Marie ].
Hess, of the educational committee of
the Illinois Congress of Mothers the
school management committee was
told that black boards and other mar
tistic decorations of school rooms had
a demoralizing effect upon the health
and morals of the pupils. She asked
that less money be expended and more
artistic taste be used in the decorat-
ing of school rooms. The committee
voted to Investigate and correct these
alleged faults.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Are criminal

inartistic and black-boarded school
rooms?
This question has been put up to a
Chicago school board in such a manner
that an investigation has been order
ed. The result may be that the school
blackboard of the future may be pink

to turning out optimistic and morally
perfect citizens.

iron furnaces at least will be blown
in in the next few days, while three
others may be started up within the
next four or six weeks. There is
steady delivery of iron being made
by the furnace companies.
Quotations are strong at $11.50 per
ton, No. 2 foundry. with $12 being
asked in some offices. Indications are
pointing strongly to S12 and $3.50 be-
ing the quotations before the end OF
this month. Basic iron is still in good
demand and considerable of this prod
uct is being shipped out by Southern
manufacturers, some of it being used
in adjoining states and no small
amount in the western territory.
Ca. iron pipe plants throughout the
SoutA, with but few exceptions, are
working full time.
The scrap market IN rne Southern
territory is still a little irregular, but
there is a little more scrap selling
than in the past. There is an inquiry
especially for low priced scrap, such
as cast bOrings, etc.
Machine shops and foundries
throughout the Southern territory re.
port continued improvement in condi-
tions and it is believed there VIII be
a good summer trade handled.
Towards the latter part of April pig
iron manufacturers in the Southern
territory sold some large quantities
of iron for delivery during the fall,
the greater portion of the product to
be shipped above the Mason and Dix
on line. Inquiries in hand indicate
that consumers are about to start
buying movement, believing that the
iron prices have gone down to the
lowest mark and will from now on con-
tinue to improve.

Meeting TONIGHT With
The GRAND CHANCELLOR
Active Work on the Part of Local
Pythians for the Purpose of Renew
ing Interest in the Lodge Work of
This Great Order.

Grand Chancellor Sessions. OF Mis-
sissippi Knights of Pythias, is in the
city today and will meet with the To-
cal lodge tonight, at which time a
campaign will be launched to put the
Hattiesburg Lodge back in the class at
the head of the state.
Hattiesburg has some of the best
material in the state, but for the past
year the members have allowed lodge
affairs to drag a little but that is not
to be tolerated any longer. Some of
the members who are leading citizens
Of this city met two weeks ssesaad

beginning tonight there wiz be ac1i46
work which is bound to bring result
A number of names have been re-
ceived for membership, which will
furnish excellent material for the work
in hand.
The lodge is also CONSIDERING the
plan to establish a club and reading
room for the benefit of its members.
This would be very attractive to many
young men in Hattiesburg, where
there is not much attention paid to
these necessary modern conveniences
which are found in other cities.
The following letter from Grand
Chancellor Sessions will be of interest
to the members:
