DOGS MUST WEAR new TAGS
TWENTY-FIVE DAYS OF GRACE

Net Of the Poundmaster Has Been
Busily Employed Catching De-
inquent CANNES.

Dogs that are not up-to-date in the
tags they wear had better watch out
or the poundmaster will get them.
Poundmaster Einstein points out that
he has been real lenient with local ca
mines. The old-fashioned tags went out
OF date July l. and dogs were expected
Immediately to procure the latest thing
In tags-to be obtained at the bargain
price of 81 each at the Office of the col
lector OF taxes in the District building.
The poundmaster gave dogs twenty-five
days Of grace to allow them to become
up-to-date In their tags. As the days Of
grace for the dogs ended last night, the
pound wagon was started out early this
morning on a scouting trip through the
city, and the net with which the wagon
Is equipped was frequently used. Within
a short time the wagon had large load
of yelping CANNES. Unless their owners
call for them at once the dogs will lay
down their lives In q gas-filled box at the
pound.
Several hundred more tags have been
issued from the collector Of taxes Office
this year than up to the same time last
year. This afternoon 5.6Oe tags had been
issued, and there was waiting q long line
OF dog-owners anxious to exchange s.
for license to keep Fido for another
year-and incidentally keep him out Of

ference report to be brought In by Sena-
tor Aldrich and offset the possible mega
tive votes of the western senators, should
tney resist the report on account of it's
providing for free hides.
He replied that in his judgment three
senators-Bristow, La Toilette and Clapp
might vote against the conference re-
port under all circumstances. and that the
adherence of the other seven progressves
would depend upon whether the report
met their demands, which he set forth .as
follows:
Lumber not to exceed $40
The House rates on cotton goods
Structural steel not to exceed IS per ton
shoes below 10 per cent.
He declared that unless these demands
are granted, seven of the .'progressives''
would vote against the conference report.
Supports Aldrich's Contention.
1t was said at the Capitol todaysthat the
investigation which has been conducted
by Mr.. Payne into the cotton schedule
tends to support Senator Aldrch's con-
tention that the Senate's increase on cot
ton goods was more apparent than real,
and that the rates are not so high as
some of the House conferees have claimed
During the afternoon it became evident
that the situation was narrowing down
to test OF endurance between the west
ern senators. who demand duty on
hides. and the President. in his conten-
ton for free hides. and to a question
whether it would be possible to adopt a
conference report over the objections Of
the western hide men.
Something May Happen Today.
Those propositions will probably be
worked out during hesday. All informa-
ton that came to the Capitol from the
White House was TO the effect that the
President insists upon free hides. and
will not abate his contention on that
point.
II the western hide men cannot be made
to yield the next thing will be to see IL
they can be run over.
Some forty-siX republican represents
tives from nineteen scattered states were
in session in the House Office building this
afternoon upon a program OF contem-
plated action when the conference report
reaches the House. They intend II is
said to try to effect combination which
will present forty-six votes against the
conference report in case 1t should con-
tain free raw materials and wholesale re-
auctions in the more important schedules.

a conference report making hides free
could not command sufficient votes to
pass the Senate. He insisted that 1t did
not devolve upon him to persuade the
Senate to accept the House demands, nor
to bring pressure to bear upon the west
ern senators opposing those demands. The
duty on hides was in conformity with
a general plan of protection to American
industries upon which the bill had been
framed, with the assistance of the west
ern senators.
IT'S Principle With Them.
The western senators were holding
out for duty on hides as a matter Of
principle. They resented singing out
this item of raw material for the free
list while leaving protection on coal
and iron. They insisted that if hides
were placed on the free list the manu-
featured products of leather must either
be made free or materially reduced.
That brought the situation down to a
point where the proposed reduction Of
duties on manufactured leather comes
In. and there parliamentary diff
Guilty was encountered. The reductions
sought were below the range in which,
under the rules of the House. the con-
ferees can work, and the consent of the
House would be necessary to allow the
conferees to accept lower rates.
1t would be necessary to test the tenn
per of the House on this point. and
during the day the republican whip.
Representative Dwight. was hard at
work sounding, the members of the
House.
The Senate conferees. with the excep
ton of Senator Aldrich. attended the
session of the Senate and were busly
engaged most Of the time in CONVERSE
ton with their colleagues. Senator
Warren, who. with Senator Carter. is
leading the fight against free hides,
earnestly discussed the campaign with
several members of the conference COM
mittee.
Crane Is Embarrassed.
Senator Crane. who is In the van of the
campaign for free hides, was busy con-
ferring with senators on both sides OF
the fight. Senator Crane is said to feel
the embarrassment OF being compelled
to insist upon free hides. while appre-
ciating to the full the yeoman service
which has been rendered the Senates
tariff bill by the western senator's. espes
cially Messrs. Warren. Carter and Smoot.
Senator Aldrich is understood to be ada
mant upon one proposition. namely, that
he will not undertake to shake the west
ern senator's from their position in sup
port of duty on hides He is living up
all along of NEED of protection to all
the industries. II the western senator's
yield their position to the arguments OF
others, that is their privilege, but he will
not be chargeable with forcing them to II.
