The TARIFF BILL
AGAIN DELAYED
western Senators Say TheyWsre
Fooled in Leather Schedule.
PRESIDENT DENIES TRICKERY

Lower Duty Must Be Applied 10 Boots,
Shoes and Harness Before Bill Can
Pass the Senate - Cattle Senators
Are Bitter In Their Condemn sfson Of
compromise.
Washington. Aug. 3.-Tarin legisla-
ton has been delayed again by the
hide and leather question. and as a
result the cOnferees were called to-
gether once more. The session was for
the purpose OF snticinE out into the
open a certain "ebOny-hued person. -
who was reported by western senators
to have been seen lurking in the
"wood-pile.
The westsrners complained that the
leather schedule. az arranged by the
conferees with the approval of the
president. is unfair to the states inter
ested in protected hides. It was agreed
that some action must be taken to
eonciliate them If the conference re
Port is to be adopted.
Says There Is Joker" In Bill.
Without thought Of serious obsta-
cles in the pathway Of the conference
report. Senator Aldrich caused the re
port to be taken up as soon as the
senate met AS is usual. the senate
leader and bis associates moved about
TO ascertain whether there had been
any change OF sentiment They we're
not long in learning that the charge
that there was a Joker" in the com.
promise hide and leather question had
upset the comfortable majority they
had previously counted for the adop.
tion OF the report
The difficulty appeared to be a lack
OF understanding between the con
ferees. the president and the western
senators concerning the condition un.
der which the latter consented TO
hides being placed on the free list.
The westerners claimed that they had
been led to believe that all boots and
shoes OF leather were to be dutiable
at 10 per cent. and that all harness
was 20 be dutiable at 20 per cent.
When the conference report was is.
sued It appeared that the reductions
applied only to articles manufactured
in chief part Of the class OF hides
which were 10 be made free OF duty.
The reductions would not apply to
shoes. the uppers OF which were made
OF calf-shns. or to harness. the chief
value Of which was caifskin.
Western Senators Are Bitter.
Some OF the western senators we're
extremely bitter in their condemna-
ton of the compromise. They said
they had been fooled. that the presi-
dent had been fooled. and that the
trick played on the consumer was
nothing short OF buncombs Finding
that the westerners were not amenable
to argument, some Of the senate lead
ers and some OF the dissatisfied mem
bers hurried to the White House.
There all were informed that the
president had not been fooled He was
reported to have told all OF his callers
that he fully understood the character
OF the compromise.
II was practically conceded that in
order to coDcede the passage OF the
report by a safe margin the low rates
on boots and shoes and harness would
have to be applied to calf-akin pro-
ducts as well as to leather from a
class Of hides that are now dutiable.
but which are made free by the con-
ference report.
No program has been reached posi-
lively as to how this result shall be
