PLAN CONFERENCE
TOBREAK DEADLOCK

CHICAGO. Feb. 22-The first real and
definite attempt TO arrange a compromise
or the Illinois Senatorial deadlock Is
likely TO be scheduled for Washington.
d. 9. The date is next Saturday, the
Saturday preceding the Inauguration Of
Taft and Sherman.
Reports TO this effect were circulated
today. and, although denied by Hopkins
friends, the information seemed OF such
a character as TO warrant the assertion
that enough Illinois Republican leaders
representing all party factions, will be
present or accounted for at the National
Capital, when the first conference IS
held, 10 make a compromise possible. 1t
is admitted that strong pressure has
been brought to bear on the Illinois Re
pubIicans by outside influences Of great
magnitude to put an end TO the contest
which has been dragging along at
Springfield since January
Tentative feelers looking toward a
party caucus at Springfield having been
spuTned, the suggestion has come, il IS
thought, from Frank II. Hitchcock,
who was i'm Chicago during a major
part Of the week, for a gathering of the
clans at Washington. The tentative
program Is 10 have present both Sen
atOrS CUNOm and Hopkins. Spea Eer

inner. Governor Deneen. who is to be at

scnting all party factions and interests.

WOULD HIT STANDARD
THROUGH THE TARIFF
Majority of Ways and Means Committee Believed to
Favor Elimination of Present Countervaing Duty
Which Would Let In Russian Oil.

, The Russians couutered against this
by imposing very heavy protective
duties on petroleum These range. ac-
curding TO Mr.. Kustermann's figures
according to the products grade, etc.
from 20 to l50 per cent ad valOrem-
IhlS tariff being imposed by Russia
on American petroleum, u operates au-
tOm3CicaIiy to impose a like rate on
Russian petroleum attempted to be in
trOduC"d here. The result is that there
are no Imports. The Russian fields have
an immense CaT3CltN- they could easily
arm out oil enough to export in i'm
mense amounts to tie United States If
Il could only get in.
Mr.. kusteTmaun has figured out what
would happen If the duty were removed
On tine basis OF prices in Russia. he
nnds that the Russians could produce
the oil. pay transportation charges to
the United States, ard have left prof
IL Of to 4 cents per gallon, which IS
very large, provided present prices made
by the Standard interests here were
maintained.
Force Reduction.
Going farther into the matter. Mr..
Kustermann is convinced that removal
OF the tariff would force such a reduc-
ton OF prices on petroleum products as
would reduce the burden on American
consumers from $I2,OO0,O0O to S13,00o,00D
a year. This would come directly out
or the standard IIOlllS- Inc Stdutdih
might not lose its business 10 the Rus
sian oil producers; il probably would
not But il would have 10 meet their
prices. and to do that the consumers
IN +his country would have to be given
cheaper prices.
1t is urged by supporters Of this plan
for attacking Standard Oil, that under
IL Independent refiHerS would enter the
business in this country, take the crude
Russian oil. and turn it ont i'm all the
various p; odUcts of petroleum.
Mr.. Eustermann has been quietly
working al session with Republicans OF
the Ways and Means Committee. He is
positive he has won two. and hopes
Tor two more. If ne succeeds he will
make the Standard Oil fight hard for
its protection The objection 20 free
admission OF Russian oil, of course, Is
that ii would take the place Of the home
produced article. The production Of the
crude oil is not controlled by the Stand
ard. Thousands of independents pro
dUCe it. but il is sold i'm the main TO the
Standard. These independents are ready
TO make a great protest against running
their market in order TO take a shot at
the Standards monopoly Of the refining
and marketing business.

OLD OPERATOR
PASSES AWAY

MAGNOLIA. Nd Feb. 22.-Alonzo
Bowman. aged sixty-nine years. the old
est telegraph operator on the Maryland
division Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and the man who saved the railroad
bridge across the GunpOwdeT river from
being destroyed during the civil war, Is
dead a his home here.
He had suffered for some time with a
general breakdown.
The Washington times., 1909-02-22

To knock the Standard oil Company
out of $500. go or 100000 a year or
profits, by a simple change in the tariff
bIlI is the plan for which 1t is believed
enough votes are going 10 be secured.
1t is declared positively that All the
Democrats and two Republicans on the
Ways and Means Committee are now
pledged to this move If three Repub-
licans Join the Democrats, the COM
mittee Will stand ten to nine in favor
Of the proposal
The two Republicans, whose names
are carefully guarded by the promoters
Of the plan, are said to have given their
promises that they will support the
amendment in every possible way
There IS much speculation as to their
Identities, and rumor suspects strongly
that Mr.. Longworth, sOn-in-law OF the
President, is one of them
Petroleum is commonly supposed to
be on the free list. Nominally, il is.
The Dingley act places it there But
that act also contains a provision i'm
posing "A cOuntervailing duty on it,
equal to the duty imposed by any given
foreign country on impOr;ations of pc
troleUm from the United States
Under the operations OF this counter
vailinE duty, very hiCE tariff is in
fact imposed on petroleum brought 20
these shores.
Kustermann Explains.
This situation as to petroleum was
explained in much detail last session in
a speech by Representative Kuster-
mann OF Wisconsin. He made a de
tailed study of the law and statistics
of the subject. and caused considerab BILE
sensation by his elucidation Of some
thing which was not new 10 tariff
sharps, but was understood by few peo-
pie outside tho charmed circle.
Mr.. kustermann showed that the only
country which, in fact. could send any
petroleum worth while 20 the United
States is Russia. Russia has for many
years been engaged in a fight against
the Standard Oil interests OF the United
States. The Standard people became
interested i'm the Baku oil fields Of Rus
sia, and was in a fair way 10 suppress
the Russian industry and compel the
Cars subjects to use American petro-
leum and its products.
