Thursday, July 8.


Washington, July 8.-The tariff bill
passed the senate just after II O'Clock
tonight by a vote of 45 to 81. Ten
Republicans voted with the Democrats
against the bill and one Democrat vot-
ed for the bill.
AS it passed the senate, the bill con-
tains almost 400 paragraphs. The
senate made $40 amendments to the
house bill, many of which were added
today. Consequently the enrolling
clerks are finding the preparation of
the bill for the house an arduous task.
They have been following as closely
upon the heels of the senate as was
possible, and have the work well in
hand, but say they probably will not be
able to complete their labors before
late tomorrow.
There will be no delay in sending
the tariff bill to conference after it
reaches the house. 1t is expected that
the bill will be sent to that body by the
senate late tomorrow. The house will
met daily from now until the end Of
the session.
AS soon as the bill is received, Dal-
zell is expected to offer resolution by
which the house will disagree to the
senate amendments en- bloc and agree
to conference.

Nothing Doing in OIeo.

Washington, July 6.-President Taft
has expressed himself as opposed to
the plan of Secretary of the Treasury
McVeagh to raise 81, 600, 900 by an in
ternal revenue tax of cents a bound,
fiat rate, on oleomargarine. The dairy
men, according to Representative
Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, are op-
posed to the scheme. Secretary Nc
Veagh has stated that he has no desire
to introduce bill to carry out his ideas
unless call interests" agreed on the
terms. The objection Of President
Taft and the dairy interests will obvi-
ously be sufficient to make the intro
duction of such bill futile.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS
Friday, July 8.

Washington, July 9.-During a ses-
sion lasting nearly four hours, the SEN
ate today passed the Philippine tariff
bill, and the bill automatically contin-
uing the Porto Rican budget. Only a
nominal resistance was offered by the
minority to the measure. An amend
ment to the Philippine bill by John
ston, of Alabama, declaring the inten-
tion of the United States eventually to
grant independence to the Philippines,
was rejected.
Washington, July 9.--The tariff bill
is now in the hands of the conference
committee. After an hour and half
of debate the house today, by vote OF
178 to l51. disagreed to the senate
amendments. Eighteen Republicans
voted against sending the bill to con-
ference, and one Democrat voted with
the Republican majority.
Washington, July 9.-The house and
senate conferees on the tariff bill this
afternoon mapped out the program Tor
the many sessions they must hold to
make the final draft of the measure.
An agreement may be reached in 10
days, though the house conferees are
expected bitterly to contest many OF the
senate amendments.
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne are fearful lest the final action
on the conference report in the two
houses be delayed, and an effort is be-
ing made to have President Taft take
part in the threatened controversy.

BOLIVIA ON VERGE
OF ARGENTINE WAR

LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 2.-Ofhcial cir
cles now admit that a complete rupture
has occurred between Bolivia and the
Argentine Republic and that all diplo-
matte relations have been severed between
the two countries.
The recall of the Argentine minister.
Senior Fonseca, who has been stationed
here throughout the disorderly events
leading up to the present crisis, was fol-
lowed Immediately and almost simulta-
neously with the recall of the Bolivian
minister stationed at Buenos Ayres.
On the departure of the Bolivian min
lister from Argentina, he has been ordered
to turn over the archives to the American
Gillian, or Brazilian legation.
HOSTILITIES FEARED.
The rupture of diplomatic relations was
announced after extended Official confer
ences held throughout yesterday, after
which efforts were made to meet the ag-
gressive attitude assumed by Argentina
and at the same time allay the growing
agitation in Bolivia. The spirit of the
people was shown in monster petitions
asking to be enrolled in the army, the
petitioners asserting unconditional sup
port to the government cause in case
of an armed conflict. The feeling that
hostilities may occur is shown by the
continued departure of many Argentine
and Bolivian residents.
The cause of Argentina's breaking off
of diplomatic relations as stated here,
was a circular issued by President
Monies to the provincial governors of
Bolivia. referring in sighting and often
sive terms to Argentina's decision against
Bolivia in the. pending Peru-Bolivia
boundary dispute Argentina also takes
offense at President Monies orders to the
municipality of La Paz to suspend the
centenary fetes which have been going
on, in view of Argentinas adverse action.
which is regarded as national misfort-
une.
These two steps by President Monies
are construed by Argentina as incompat-
ible with a dignified continuance of friend
ly diplomatic relations. The recall of their
minister thereupon followed, and this in
turn was followed by the recall of the
Bolivian minister at Buenos Ayres.

five prisoners in the jail at Hackensack,

attempt was made to wreck a fast freight
train carrying a valuable cargo on the
West Shore railroad. near North Bergen,
before daylight yesterday. At a point
across the Hudson river from the upper
end of Manhattan. six railroad ties and
been placed across the track in such a
manner as to wreck any train which
struck them. A few minutes before the
fast freight train from New York for the
west arrived the obstruction was discov-
cred and removed by three railroad de-
tectives.
A gang Of railroad thieves has been
operating in that vicinity for several
months combining their operations chief
ly to breaking into freight cars. From
one car which was broken open Monday,
$1,000 worth of silks was taken and. 1t
was while investigating this robbery that
the detectives discovered the attempt to
wreck the train. In searching THE woods
adjacent to where the obstruction was
found, the officers found five men in
hiding.

REAL RAFFLES RUN
IN BY DETECTIVE
Five Years Ago He Was a Bank
Cashier at $4,000 a Year-NoW
He's a Burglar With An Uncer-
tain Income.
(Rv Associated Press. }


NEW YORK, July 22.-While cOnfessing
to a number of daring burglaries at
Rockaway Beach, Ralph Sherman. a tall
young man Of fine appearance, has admit
ted that five years ago he was the foreign
teller for a large banking firm in VIII
liams street at $1,000 a year.
Sherman's method of burglary was So
bold that he was able to commit many
Crimes he had confessed, without being
detected. His capture was quite accident
al, a detective imagining that he might
have information about a man the police
were seeking. When the detective ap-
preached Sherman, the latter ran, and
when ne was caught he had jewelry on
him from a number of burglaries. Sher-
man said that he had been in the habit
of watching for cottagers who went into
the surf, and that during their absence
he boldly walked into their homes.
Sherman left the bank to establish a
translation bureau, being able to speak
half a dozen languages. He failed in
this, and said that then he took up burg
larry as a profession.

day Daniel j. Keefe, United States COM
missioner Of immigration, declared that
opportunities of agricultural employ
ment in the south were not such as

grafton to this section which he said
had been steadily shown In recent
years. Commissioner Keefe let 1t be
understood that unlsss convincing evil
dence to the contrary could be brought

upon New Orleans as a site for an i'm
migrant station.

the immigrants this way" he said.

think there is something more at the
bottom Of this immigrant question than
mere advertising alone"
