Washington, July 12-It was denite-
ly decided at q conference today at the
White House that the rate to be levied
under the new corporation tax shall
be reduced from per cent. to l per
cent. and that in redrafting the meas
ure, now in conference along with the
that have been raised, due, considera-
ton shall he given to the demands of
the mutual life insurance companys
whose incomes would be seriously af-
fected by the tax in its original form.
President Taft was the central figure
in Il number of conferences today ana
is living up to the prediction made
many weeks ago that in the conference
consideration of the tariff he would
actively lend his influence to bringing
about a Cancellation of the differences
between The two Houses.
The President is in daily cOnculta-
ton with the tariff conference. The
conference report should be available
according to the Presidents informa-
ton by the end of next week.
AS to the mutual insurance compa-
MES the redrafted bill will be so ar
IduSth tilttl llit IAN Silttll ldil upon
stockholders profits. Allowances viii
be made for annuities and other long
term contracts outstanding.
Senator Aldrich, Attorney General
Wickersham, Senator SmoOt, Rep.
Fordney and Speaker Cannon We're
among those who talked with the Pres
ident today. The President made plain
to his visitors his position on a num-
Der OF features of tariff legislation.
Proceeding along lines of least re-
sistance, the tariff conferees made eff
fectual progress today in spite of the
fact that the House was in session.
Thus far, however the amendments
agreed upon in the chemical, earthern
ware, metal and wood schedules have
been of minor Importance.
Determined opposition was shown
by the House conferees to the increase
from IL cents to 21s cents pound
which the Senate made on lead bullion
AS result this schedule was held up
and consequently there has been no
settlement of the amendments as &c
the items in the chemical schedule
such as lead paints.
The paragraph relating to electric
cartoons threatened trouble and was
postponed. The Senate exchanged the
duties from ad valorem to specific ant
the House conferences contend that the
rates were thereby increased. Thf
sam thing is true in regard to window
glass, on which the Senate fixed
graduated tax according to sizes.
Tho more important of the subjects
nassed over in the metal schedule are
iron ore, lead bullion and zinc ore ant
bullion.
Iron ore was placed on the free lis
by the House and made dutiable at 2
cents a ton by the Senate. The Ding
lev rate is 40 cents a ton. The genera
impression is that the Senate will MAKE
a concession to the House and that a:
| a compromise the rate may be fixed a
| &c or Is cents a ton. The House pro
visions for free hides, for which thu
Senate substituted the rate of Is pc
cent ad valorem and for 81 lumber
which rate was materially increased II
the Senate will be the subjects of con
test. 1t is not likely, however, tina
they will he reached this week.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
BaIIoonist at Nashua, N. H., Barely
Misses a Horrible Death.

Nashua. n. H., July 12.-Alfred
Patenaud, a balloonist of Haverhill
Mass, had a narrow escape from death
or serious injury this evening while
making balloon ascension and para
chute jump. For some reason his bal
loon began to sink before it had at
tanned the proper height for a para
chute jump and he was forced to cut
away hastily. He shot downward for
200 feet towards building before his
parachute opened and checked his
course, SO that when he hit the struc-
ture he sustained only a sprained
ankle.

Dutch minister Of state, Baron Mac
kay, at their head, to decide upon the
form that Hollands contribution to
the celebration should take. The de-
cision was TO build a ship which
should as nearly as possible reproduce
the Halye Maene, or Half Noon. in
which Hudson made his exploration Of
the now famous river. When it came
to building the craft Unforeseen dill
culties were presented Museums and
Antiquarian resorts were searched In
rain for some time for data on which
to plan the ship Ultimately two
books were found, one "Uitloop-
boek," or sailing record, and the other
: Memorial" or memorandum book,
which contained references to the yes.
sci. In the former, under date Of 1908,
there appeared an entry, "Jacht Halve
Maen, Lasts 40, Noordwaarts, Hendrix
Hudson Terug," which meant that
the yacht Half Moon, a vessel Of forty
loads, sailed northward under Captain
Hendrick Hudson. This showed that
the vessel was one of eighty tons.
Further diligent search revealed books
and documents which enabled the com.
mittee to complete the particulars in
regard to the character Of the vessel.
A unique print was also found depict

Of Hudson's sailing and ships like the
Half Moon upon it. 4 drawing was

broad. The crew to accompany the
ship win be costumed IN garb such as
worn by Dutch sailors 10 the seven
