Washington, July 10--Cheaper CO..
ton and wooden goods and cheap
hosiery and womeu's fi'oyes--the r.
mer demanded by the house AMI the
latter by the senata promise to be
among the stubbofnly fought ques-
tions In the conference on the iarih
bill. At least that Is the way IL ap-
peared at the close Of the first days
session.
There was a great deal Of spcc II,
ton today among the leaders In con.
gress, who are not parties to the con.
ference, as TO what will be done with
these items. Many members ex.
pressed the opinion that the horse
would yield on cotton and wool and
the senate en- gloves and hosiery IN
compliance with the prote:tionst's
idea OF standpatism.
Both Will Protest.
IF this should be the outcome 1t is
predicted that vigorous protests win
be heard both in the senate aud
ward revision Some members went
SO far as to say that an effort VIII b.
made 10 reject the conference reports
in the event OF such a glarIng In.
stance of upward revision The ef'
feet of the amendments TO q cot
ton and wooden sehe Fules IN the
house was a material reduction Of the
existing duties. The senate resto g
these by a decisive vote. On the
othr hand the house advanced the
rates on hosiery and women's gloves
far above the duties fixed by the
Diaeley law and the senate declined
to accept the increases.
Two Sessions.
Two sessions of the conferees were
hell today All the conf re- wer,
present except Cullom who is not in
the city. The amendments were cfn-
sidered today in their numerical or
der. When the session closed for the
day the conferecs had passed throueh
the chemical and earthenware sched
through the metal schedule All
amendments in these schedules how
ever, were not settled Nevertheless
the conferees expressed saisfacti
with the progress made.
The adjustment of the differences
between the house and the senate
will not prove so serious task as Ii
indicated by the large number OF
amendments. About five hundred
amendments consist Of changing Ger
tain phrases Eliminating these it
is pointed out that there are less than
four hundred amendments that repr.
sent opposing views.
Few members of the conference
committee are willing to place the
time necessary for the completion Of
the bill in conference less than tn
days. notwithstanding the large nunF
ber of purely verbal amendmen s
Some conferees place the probable
length Of the conference AZ a fort,
night or more. In support OF t7eir
view they point to the fact that the
senate put In the bill an eltirely
nominal maXimrm and minimum pro-
vision. corporation tax amendment
provision for the establ shmcnt # 4
customs court, and nominal admin
istrative act covering a multitude ot
questions not raised in the house. IN

OF FISK UNIVERSITY MAKES A
= PLEA FOR HEGfTER RELATIONS
: IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS
TO STUDENTS AND FACULTY. ii

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. "a plea
for higher relations was the Thought
of president George A. Gates when
he made his tntEod uctory remarks

lof Eisk 81 aaorH'
ling, Nov. g. President Gates ifirBt 3eE
+ It. be known that Ne does not want
to be long in getting acquainted with
Fisk students, the alumni and friends.
President Gates pointed out that
faculty and students are fellow stu
dents working together for higher
life. These worthy and responsible
relationships he would have charact-
eriZed by humility to duty, by loyalty
to the institution and its friends, by
love to man, and by reverence to God.
He impressed the fact that he enters
into his official life at Fisk with a
complete surrender of loyalty ! to
FiSk's traditions and her pronounced
efTort in training to a higher life
He begins his work with deep sense
OF the task which lies before, and
recognizes with profound humility
his succession to distinguished admin
tstration, to- honorable and prominent
alumni, to loyal and lofty student
body, to historic and cherished ira
dtttons Of Fisk's founding, her life,
and her contribution to higher cit
izenship. The president read as the
WatchWord Of his administration
Joshua, first chapter and sixth verse:
BE strong and Of a good courage:
Tor unto this people shalt thou divide
Tor an inheritance the land, which I
BWaro unto their fathers to give
them"
President Gates Is not inexperienc-
% In school administration. He has
been engaged in this work for
twenty-five years, having been pres
1dent Of Grinnell College, Iowa, and
OF Pomona College, California. At
one time he was strongly urged to
accept the presidency Of the Ohio
State University. Dartmouth has
conferred on him D. D., and the UNI
versity Of Nebraska has recognized hi
bis scholarship and ability with LID.
80 1t becomes the good fortune Of
FISK University and all the good
things for which she stands in the
higher education Of the Negro youth,
to have at the head of the institu-
ton man Of ripe experience, Of
d1scriminative vision, and OF Cody
lconsecration.
