Washington, July 1s.-The confer

congress on the tariff bill agreed to-
day to accept the eenate's corporation
tax amendment, but the agreement
was not reached until after the pro-
vision had been redrafted by the at

been made.
The most important of the changes
was the reduction of the tax from 2
per cent on the net earrings of corr

Latham Fails in Attempt to
Cross English Channel
RESCUED BY TORPEDO BOAT
DARING FRENCH AVIATOR COW
ERs SIXTEEN MILES FROM CA
LAS WHEN MOTOR FAILS AND
MACHINE FALLS IN WATER -
LATHAM cHEERED BY THRoNG.

Calias, France, July 1s-Herbert
Latham, the French aviator, after
waiting for over week for favor
able opportunity to attempt a flight
7 across the channel from Calais to
Dover, made a start this morning. but
after covering about sixteen miles, and
while at great height, the motor
failed and the machine fell into the
water. The French torpedo boat de-
stroyer, however was close at hand
and rescued both Latham and his
monoplane. Latham's start was made
from the top of a cliff at Hangatte and
under propitious circumstances
When last seen the monoplane was
only a brilliant speck on the horizon
with trial of blue smudge from the
motor. The Harpon w below the
horizon. Docks and steenets along
the water front were black with peo-
pie when the torpedo boat destroyer
entered the harbor at $3.50 with Lath-
am and Lebevasseur aboard.
Kisses Dozens of Girls.
The daring aviator received a tre-
mendous ovation and on landing it
was with difficulty that he made his
way through the cheering throngs
Dozens of times he was compelled to
kiss girls who threw their arms around
his neck.
In response to inquiries, Latham
shouted repeatedly that he was all
right He said the motor failed about
twelve miles out, and owing to the
slowing down of engines he was un-
able to remain longer in the air. The
aviator was not injured, neither was
he discouraged and he declared his
intention of again trying to cross the
channel.

Washington, July 19.-Today opened
with what was hoped and expected
would be the last week of the con-
ference upon the tariff bill. The cri-
sis in the framing of the tariff bill has
been reached and aside from few
relatively important subjects requir-
ing technical consideration the dis
position of articles regarding which
there has been the greatest controversy
is the only concern OF the conferees.
Final agreement on the cotton sched-
ule was expected to be reached today.
The determination of the rates to ba
fixed on hosiery, it was thought.
might be the only controversy in this
schedule which would not be definitely
settled by the conferees before ad-
iournment was taken tonight. The set
tlement of other articles OF cotton
manufacture has depended mainly up
on the ability of the senate conferees
to convince the defenders of the house
measure that the specific rates adopt
ed by the former are for the purpose
OF preventing frauds and would not In
crease the Dingley ad valorem rates.
Boost For Stocking Rates.
An amicable settlement OF the hos
iery proposition was regarded as more
difficult and for that reason 1t was
believed 1t would be laid aside for ths
present. Representative Payne has
taken a firm stand with the reference
to higher duties placed by the house on
women's stockings and 1t was believed
that the other house conferees would
support him in his contention for the
house rates which are considerable In
advance over the existing duties. The
senate restored the Dingley rates.
which the house conferees have con-
tended gives the importers an unfair
| advantage over domestic manufacture
ers
Since comforting with President TAFT,
Aldrich and Representative Payne at
the White House. Senator Bradley OF
Kentucky. and Acting Commissioned
of Internal Revenue Jas. G. Wheeler.
have been at work preparing new
amendment to the international rev.
cue law by which 1t is intended that
greater freedom win be given tobacco
| raisers for the sale of their own to-
bacco without opening a way to fraud.
Farmers Are Concerned.
| The house provided for the exemp-
tion OF farmers from a six cent inter-
national revenue tax on unstemmed
wrapper tobacco and the senate added
a provision which required farmers
taking advantage OF this exemption to
supply the international revenue of
ficers with complete record OF their
sales.
