MESSAGE To
CONGRESS
President Asks for Revis-
ion of Dingley Tariff
Act to Meet Present
Day Requirements

WASHINGTON, March l6.-Presi-
dent Taft's message to congress to-
day was in substance as follows:
4 have convened congress in ex-
ira session in order to enable il 10
give immediate consideration to re-
vision of the Dingley tariff act Con-
ditions affecting production. manu-
featuring and business generally have
so changed in the last 2 years as TO
require readjustment and revision of
import duties and tariff created by
the act. More than this, the present
tariff act with other sources of gov
ernment revenue, does not furnish
income enough to pay authorized ex-
penses. The successful party of the
late election is pledged to revision of
the tariff. The country and business
community especially expect 1t. 1t Is
therefore OF the highest Importance
that a new bill should be agreed
upon and passed with as much speed
as possible consistent with its due
and thorough consideration.
In my inaugural address | stated
in summary way the principles
upon which to my Judgment revision

revenue that might be properly re-
stored in order To have no further
deficits. 1t is not necessary for me
tn repeat what | then said"
Mr.. Payne. after a conference with
Speaker Cannon. announced that pre-
sentation of the bill be deferred until
tomorrow to obtain unanimous ap-
proval of new Republican members.
When the presidents message was
laid before the senate today It re
ceived careful attention. Many SEN
ators laughed at the suggestion in.
the message that no legislation relat.
ing to the tariff be considered at this
session. On motion of Senator Hale,
adjournment was taken until Friday.
Republicans in the house broke
out into loud and prolonged applause
when the presidents message was
read today. The message was re-
ferred TO the committee on ways and
means.
The new tariff bill will be intro
duced in the house tomorrow, the de-
lay In presentation being to secure
approvals of new Republican mem
ber of the ways and means commit
tee whom the speaker will appoint
to succeed Bonynge of Colorado.
The house Democrats will probably
caucus tonight as a result of conflict
between themselves and Speaker
Cannon over the method of appoint
ing the committee.

GEYSER OIL LANDS.
II l. Thought that Depth of i.SOO
Feet VIII BE Necessary.

J 5. bergman. the Geyser oil man,
was an arrival in town last evening
and in an interview stated he had
been receiving quite number of
letters from people. asking about the
oil lands around Geyser.
Mr.. Bergman says that the finding
of oil is not at all sure thing. but
that the indications are the very best
and while he expects there will be
some big wells opened up. yet there
is always chance to be mistaken.
According to Mr.. Bernman. 1t will
require wells To the depth of at least
800 feet TO prove up the land. He
says that there Is no doubt but what
gas will be found. which will be of
immense value. He says there are
numerous places in the district where
it is impossible for person to re-
main more than five minutes. without
becoming almost asphyxiated. He
says this Is remarkable condition
to exist. owing to the fact that the
gas has to penetrate 700 feet of shale.
400 feet of conglomerate and sand
stone and also the clay covering this
formation before ii comes through to
the surface Mr.. Bernman stated
that several Los Angeles oil men had
written to find out II oil rigs could
be gotten Into the district at the
present time. RI

Has No Intention of At
tacking Sister Re
publics Says Minister
Conditions Quiet

WASHINGTON. March l6.=Niear-
aqua, through her minister, Senior Es-
pinoza. protested TO Secretary Knox
today that the military and naval
activity in progress in that country
is entirely for defensive purposes;
that she does not contemplate attack
ing her sister republics and that in
ternal conditions are quiet.
The minister went to the state de-
partment with a bundle of dispatches
and spent half an hour with the sec
retary. during which he discussed
also the Emery claim. which has
been the source of dispute between
the two countries for years.
Both the secretary and the minis
ter later expressed hope for a salts
factory adjustment of the claim and
a peaceful solution of the whole sit
uation.
The administration has decided
however, to Increase the naval force
in Central American waters to six
vessels In addition TO the Yorktown,
now en- route for Amapala, Honduras,
the armored cruisers Maryland and
Washington are to remain on the
west coast. the former going to Ac-
aiutla. Salvador. and the latter to
Corinto.
The most significant news today
was that about 5000 Nicaraguan
troops are near the Honduras from
tier. the chief scene of activity being
in the neighborhood of Corinto,
where are also concentrated four
gunboats and other auxiliary craft.
A feature distasteful to the state
department is the manner In which
John II. Gregory. the secretary of the
legation at Managua. who has been
ordered To Washington, is being
treated There are evidences of hos
tility TO him, and ii is understood
also that some of his dispatches have
been delayed.
The state department, though irri-
tated Is not disposed to act hastily
and is seeking the views of the vari-
Gus capitals in Central America.

mesh and design, and in fact the SIM

ured silks, and so long as the Di-
rectoire styles remain popular the soft
clinging satins are certain to be fashion
able. The draped gowns in these mate
rails are very becoming, and whether
plain or Powered designs are used there Is
no need for loading down the gown with
too much trimming. In fact, t. i
trimming utterly destroys the good lines
of this style of dress. All the light shades
of color are most fashionable in the silks
and satins of the moment, and there are
delightful combinations of colors in the
lowered designs, all of the softest tlnts'

moment. Is the picturesque, as ex-

many women who never wear the thinner

are great number of soft finished silks
