WANTS DATE SET
FOR TARIFF VOTE
REPUBLICAN "WHIP" HOPES
TO CHANGE RULES
Fate of Payne's Measure Will Be
Known by End of Week-WiII
Be Accepted in Some
Shape
fRy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Following
numerous conferences held throughout
the day, Representative Dwight of
New York, the Republican whip" an
nounced late tonight that the rules
committee would bring in rule fixing
the time for taking the final vote on
the tariff bill and restricting amend
ments thereto, and that the rule would
be adopted.
Mr.. Dwight made an unequivocal pre-
diction of victory for his side.
The climax in the house consideration
of the Payne bill will be reached in
all probability soon after the house
convenes tomorrow. when the com
mittee on rules will bring in an order
fixing the time for taking the final
vote on the bill and providing regu-
lations for introducing and discussing
amendments.
In view of the probability of the
early adoption of this order, both sides
are preparing to consider the bill In
its final stages.
The matter of the time that will be
given for amendments will be fixed
by the committee on rules, but that
committee will be guided entirely by
the wishes of the committee on ways
and means.
No one doubts that the fate of the
bill will be known before the end or
the week, and there is just little
doubt that it will be passed in some
shape.
The senate will have nothing before
it except the census bill until the tar
if bill comes over from the house, and
is reported by the committee on
finance.
April 10 Is Date Set
The rule which will be brought in
+oroorroyy sets Dril 10 as the date for
a vote on the tariff bill, and protects
the measure, it is said, from all
amendments except those recommend
ed by the ways and means committee
and offered on the floor of the house,
which will give an opportunity for a
vote on the question of free lumber,
protected barley and protected hides.
A majority of the twenty-six or
more Republicans who drafted yester-
day petition to the tariff trainers
asking for protection on lumber. coal
and iron ore have been prevailed upon
not to oppose the Payne bill. This IS
regarded as insuring the adoption of
the rule.
1t is said also that the dissatisfied
Republicans have been assured that
matters in which they are especially
interested will be given careful at
tention when the bill reaches the SEN
ate.
chairman Payne, Representatives
DalZell Dwight and other house lead
ers conferred with President Taft yes
terday and the president is said to
have approved the tariff program.
The rule will shut off general debate
automatically, and from the time OF
it's adoption until the bill is submit
ted to a vote discussion of the tariff
will proceed under the five-minute rule

produced at the Neues Tneater to-nigh- before

This is the play which caused 8 sensation in
England dealing with the invasion of that
country by a foreign force, and it was thought
that the play aimed at Germany.
Its reception to- night hostile that il is

The kissing, stamping and hooting began with

In the opinion of the Berlin correspondents Of

EASTER RIOT OF COLOR
STN SHINES on GAYLI
.4T'TIRED THRONGS.


The s1In shone Yesterday. but a npping east
wind met the Easter professions in Fith ave
nue. Riverside Drive. Harlem and Grand street
The fact that the was shining was the i'm
nortant feature however. Vari-coIored multi
tudes passed through the avenues, parks and
drives Of the city throughout the afternoon
As crowds went to the special Easter services
in the churches. and later strolled to their
homes or to hotels for dinner, Fifth avenue re
sembled a lane doubly frnged with permabu
latinG posics.
The parade moved rapidly, for it chilly.
Eyes sparlled from excitement and the weather.
Some paraders wore long fur coats, but the ma
jority of men and women appeared in attire of
spring weight and colors. and these did not
loter.
Throughout the afternoon the was
filled with strangers. suburbanites and Ne"
Workers. all happy in their stroll. There were
hoop skirts sheath skirts; there too
much wind for either. There was marked eyi-
dence of tendency toward economy in the
costumes worn by the women. especially those
who graced Fifth avenue. 1t was estimated
that at least one-third less material was used
this Easter than last in the making of skirts
alone.
But after all. All average was probably
struck and the per capita expense maintained
by the miles OF buttons which glistened up and
down and around the Easter gowns. and the
hats which made new distances. speaking hori-
zontally and altftudinOusly, as well as from the
point of view OF the tonnage in fruit and vege-
tables which the headgear carried. There were
hats with birds and beets, whisk brooms and
celery tops on them. The peach basket hat was
there but it not the only claimant for
cited attention from the men. The feather dus-
ter hats tlckled them more than all else per-
haps
Starting down the avenue at 59th street, a
stout elderly man attracted attention He was
conscious of the fact and beamed on all in a
kindly way. His trousers of white flannel,
carefully "cuffed' the bottom. He wore a
black frock coat, fine in fit and texture Spats
of deep blue warmed, it presumed. the feet
