House Insurgents Meet and Adopt Resolutions
Against Putting Raw Materials on Free List
Payne Offers Little Encouragement
Taft is Better Able to Get Insight to o.
stacleS to Free RGw Materials
Than At Dinner.

ias that at the dinner Wednesday
night
Senator Aldrich yesterday met a
large number of senators who are op-
posed to free hides, coal and iron ore
and no encouragement was offered for
the placing of any of these articles on
the free list
In fact, were II possible to get these
senators to yield, the situation in the
house would have to be dealt with
The tariff insurgents" in the house,
who are opposed to free raw materials
met again and adopted resolutions
protesting against the plan.
They designated Representatives
Gaines, West Virginia; Mondell. Wyo-
ming. and Kennedy. Ohio as com
mlttee to confer with Representative
Payne.
The latter did not offer the "lnsur.
gents" much encouragement. lie ex.
planned that he was chairman OF the
committee which reported the tariff
bill and that he was appointed as a
conferee to have the house provisions
adopted in preference to the senate
provisions
Representative Dwight, New York,
the republican whip" of the house,
conferred with Senator Aldrich late
yesterday and informed him that
the anti-free raw material sentiment
in the house was a matter whicn re-
quired serious consideration. He said
that its strength had grown to a.
members.
The advocates of dutiable' hides in
both houses declared that compro-
mise is possible. but that they can
not consider the placing of these ar.
tlcles on the free list.

FRICTION REPORTS
ARE GROUNDLESS
Only the Frlendliest Feeling Exists
Between Board Of Public Affairs
And Board of Agriculture.

Guthrie. Okla, July 2S.-some Of
the partisan papers Of the state are
pretending that there is great
amount of friction between the board
of public affairs and the board OF
agriculture and are publishing stories
In regard 10 deadlocks, contests, etc,
between these two boards. Such
stories are all moonshine, there is alb
solutely no friction, and the friendli-
est of feeling exists, A friendly suit
is now pending which will determine
the duties OF these two boards but
which was not brought by either
board. The question involved is
whether or not agricultural school
buildings should be built by the board
of agriculture or the board of affairs.
The board of agriculture maintains
that it is their duty, and the PROPOSE
tion has never been disputed by the
board of affairs. A contractor, who
is doing the work, presented a claim
to the state auditor for payment. The
state auditor refused ecause IL did
not bear the o. X, of the board of af-
fairs. The state auditor wants TO be
sure that he is right before he pays
state money out. This is certainly
commendable on his part The con.
tractor then brought an action Of
mandamus to compel the auditor TO
pay the warrant without the o. X. Of
the board of affairs which will have
the effect of determining to certain
ty whether or not it is necessary for
the board of affairs to in any way act
in the construction of agricultural
school buildings. All reports of fric-
tiou are entirely groundless.

Washington, July 23.-With the ef-
feet of magic, President Taft has
brought about tangible situation
with regard to the tariff where uncer.
tainty existed before.
Yesterday one OF the conferences
concluded with a consultation at the
White House last night, participated
in by the president, Senator Aldrich
and Representative Payne. at which
the executive was assured that har-
monious settlement of the differences
existing between the two branches Of
congress is practicable
This conclusion was reached from
the fact that harmony pervadei the
various conferences held at the capt
tol yesterday The senators opposed
to the free raw material" program
were consulted by Senator Aldrich.
nd committee representing the same
position on the house side held con-
ference with Chairman Payne.
In addition, the house conferees met
yesterday afternoon TO have the ex-
perts Of the senate finance committee
explain the senate changes in the cot.
ton schedule.
II is evident that the president, by
informing the conferees that tue dis
puted points were before them for
settlement, brought about condition
that augurs well for an early agree
ment of a conference report.
The chief executive was able to get
better insight into the obstacles to
the free raw material" plan by his
conference with the two leaders, than
was possible in so large a gathering
