HIDES N / | On [ ! F ! R
President Wins One Point in
; Tariff Contest.
LOWER DUTIES ON PRODUCTS
Manufactured Leather Goods to
Be Reduced.

Washington, July 24-Hides will be
put upon the free list and existing
rates on all leather goods will be sub
stantfally reduced, some of them be.
low the duties fixed by either the
house or senate tariff bills. =, ~
BY making this reduction on the
finished products of leather a part of
the agreement for free hides it is said
that the conferees will be acting with
In their powers and that it will not
be necessary to reeommit the bill
either in the house or senate to Sc
cure a reduction in the leather sched-
ule. ..-.,t ..a0.s
Senators Crane and Lodge were
among the earliest of the presidents
callers and told him that New Eng
land was willing to make concessions
in the matter of reduced rates On
shoes, ETC., as part of the bargain
for free hides. This opened the way,
they said, for an agreement in the
conference committee, for the West
ern senators who have been fighting
the proposition to place hides on the
free list have announced time and
again that their objection would cease
whenever the rates on shoes, etc.,
were accordingly reduced.
The rates on shoes will be lowered
from II to 10 per cent, according to
the presidents adyices.
1orah Consents to Scheme.
Senator Borah of Idaho, after a con-
ference with the president following
the call of Messrs. Crane and Lodge,
said there was no longer any doubt
that hides would go on the free list,
along with substantial reduction in
the rates on finished leather products.
The generally accepted programme is
as follows: ---..s5.
Hides, free; sole leather, per cent
sd valorem, the same as the house
rate and 10 per cent lower than the
senate rate: leather for uppers, 71a
per cent, which is one-half the rate of
the senate and the house bills; boots
and shoes, 10 per cent, as against Is
per cent in the house bill and 20 per
cent in the senate bill. ~.@ III
From careful analysis of state
ments made by the senate and house
leaders, taken. in connection with the
attitude of President Taft, the indi-
cations are that the conference rates
upon the important questions still in
dispute will be as follows: ,..- .g+
Hides, free: oil, free; lumber, rough.
$1.25 per thousand feet, with proper
tionate differentials; coal, IS cents a
ton, with the house reciprocal clause:
iron ore. Is cents ton; print paper,
1915 a ton. ......... ..-......
, Practically one full week has been
occupied by the conferees in an effort
to settle these questions.

Eighteen Persons Killed and a
Number Seriously Injured
PROPERTY LOSS IS ENORMOUS
Estimated Il viii Exceed One
Million Dollars.

New Orleans, July 24.-Further re-
ports from isolated points along the
Gulf coast of Texas continue to swell
the death list resulting from last
Wednesdays hurricane Angelton,
Tex. reports eleven dead instead of
one, bringing the total death list of
the hurricane up to thirty-eight. Many
more are still missing.
New Orleans, July 23-Eighteen
persons dead and sixteen seriously
hurt and property damage exceeding
100000 as far as can be ascer.
tanned is the grim record resulting
from the destructive sweep of the
hurricane along the Louisiana and
Texas coasts.
The number of dead as reported
from various towns and cities is as
follows: 49,
Texas-Bay City, 3; Galveston, 4;
Eagle Lake, 1; Wharton, l.; Kendle-
ton, /: Ramsey, /; Ell Campo, 1;
Palacios, 4.
Louisiana-Mudd Pass, z.
The number seriously injured is re-
ported as follows:
From Texas points-Eagle Lake, 1:
Bay City, Is.
That the hurricane which swept the
gulf coast of Texas and Louisiana
levied a far heavier toll in loss of
life and property damage than at
first supposed was indicated when
points which had been cut off from
communication again got in touch
with the outside world Many isolat-
ed places yet remain to be heard from
and anything like full list of dead
and injured may not be completed for
several days. "
That the property loss will run into
the millions was made q certainty
when whole towns which were not at
hrst believed to have, suffered were
definitely reported to have been
wrecked.
Fatalities are reported from many
sources. s.. "
