Aldrich and Payne Take Tariff
Bill to White House for
Advice
WHAT HAPPENED REMAINS SECRET
Rumored That a Crisis Was Reached
Tuesday in the Tariff
Conference.

Washington. July 20.-The tariff
bill was hoisted above the dicker-
ings of the congressional conferees
today and tranferred bodily from the
capitol to the White House.
Deadlocked because OF the attitude
of Representative Payne. who appar-
emily has become cOsessed with the
growing conviction that he Is in the
minority, the conferees abandoned the
~ a.,ernoCn session. Senator Al
drich and Speaker cannon repaired
to the White House posthaste to con-
cult with President Taft, literally TAX
ing the tariff bill wit0 them.
What happened at the White House
and the house leaders Is sealed

turned to the capitol they minimized
the differences that mad aroused Bit

insisted that nothing unusual had &C.

from those receiving the personal at
tention OF president would be solved.
Nevertheless their has been trouble

that shut out the pubic from the
room where the real tariff bin is being
constructed. Some day that the diff

This story Is denied by both of tho

II is not known just how the lumber
schedule was brought up in conference.

and this led to succession OF objec-
