TAFT CALLS FOR QUICK
AND CAREFUL REVISION

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-Taft
today sent congress his special
message calling for readjustment
and revision of the tariff. He says:
II convened congress In extra
session to enable it to give immedf-
ate consideration to revision OF the
Dingley tariff act. The prospect OF
a change in rates in import duties
always causes suspension and halt
in business because of uncertainty
as to changes to be made and their
effects. Therefore it is of the high
est Importance that the new bill be
agreed upon and passed with as
much speed as possible, consistent
with It's thorough consideration"
The president points out that
conditions affecting production,
manufacturers and business gener-
ally have so changed in the last IL
years as to require readjustment
and revision of import duties inn
posed by that act. More than this
the present act, with other sources
OF revenue, does not furnish In
come enough to pay authorized ex-
penditures. By uly 1 the excess OF

The committee also took UP the
matter of indorsing councilmen
and attempted to name men on
both the democratic and repub.
lican tickets, although this action
was not carried through the entire
program. Following are the in.
dorsements:
First ward, first term, Leonard
Funk, democrat. and c. Twitchell

Tuerke, democrat.
Second ward, John Gray and
Fred Baldwin.

Fourth ward, Louis Martin and
Charles w. Mohr.

Behold the most up to date sweet
heart the world has ever seen,
Anna Nevins. Of New York. Il
She's the only wireless operator
in the world Of her SEX. and her sta
ton is the United Wireless coop on
the roof of the Waldorf hotel.
Miss Nevins won't say she loves

And very often he hears from
her.
You know how a girl feels when

Well, Miss Nevins must feel that
way sometimes, for, from up in her
tower, above busy New York, over
the theaters and the skyscrapers,
topping Wall street, topping Har-,

ing the Hudson, in vast circling

The city council will meet three
consecutive nights this week, begin
ming tonight, for the purpose of
acting on proposed charter amend
ments and also a couple of private
amendments which will be offered
tonight.
One of these will be introduced
by President Lambert and will be q
substitute for the one appointing
the city engineer on the board Of
public works. The Lambert amend
ment deals principally with the
powers of the mayor and confers ON
him the hiring and firing" power
in relation to the board of public
works, city engineer, corporation
counsel and chief Of police, and also
with the police and fire depart
ments. 1t merely strikes the city
engineer feature from the amend
ment proposed by the charter re-
vision committee.
The result will be that the voters
will have two conflicting amend
ments to pass upon and this may
middle up the whole program. The
council has had a change of heart
and practically all OF the members
have decided to report out the
amendments Of the charter revis-
ion committee. Councilman Dalke
stated that he was as much oppos-
ed as ever to the amendment deal
ing with the city engineer but
would vote for the amendment in
the council, explaining his vote by
saying that he would work against
the measure but simply voted In
view Of the fact that the petitions
will be signed up and the council
may as well get in line and save
the charter revision committee add
ed work. Councilman Mohr took
the same position some time ago.
The amendment providing for
nonpartisan municipal elections
will also be proposed in the coun-
Gil tonight. This is included in the
amendments now being circulated
for signers. The council intends to
act favorably on this proposition.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Can'
non let out a little steam today
when he met Champ Clark in the
white house after a conference with
Taft. Clark asked Cannon how he
liked yesterdays proceedings. Can
non shoow his fist in Clark's face,
saying:
1.-THE house is virile because n
can operate by the will Of the ma
jority. This talk about the speaker
being car is tommy rot. What
they attempted to do was to create
a committee of Is czars, dominated
by Champ Clark and La Toilette.
La Toilette is a fake"

that every voter shall designate his

wired the secretary of state this
morning for copy Of the law in or

affect the present registration.
AS he understands it, Mr.. Elem

aroun dthe city hall is that if this
provision appears in the bill it will
not be held constitutional. Mean

AMENDMENT
PETITIONS
SIGNED.
Liberal Direct Government

Council.

The initiative and referendum
amendment petition will be pre-
scented to the city council tonight
This is victory for Thomas Ma
loney and H. e. Schubert of the
legislative committee of the cen
trail union and the Referendum
league. Enough names are now en-
rolled to compel the city council to
submit the amendment to a popular
vote.
The city at present has a charter
amendment providing for the initia
tive and referendum but makes the
number of signers equal to 35 per
cent of the total vote cast at the
preceding election. This percent
age renders the amendment inoper.
alive.
The proposed amendment is iden.
teal with that now inforce in the
city of Seattle. The referendum RS.
quires 8 per cent petitions; initia.
tive 10; special election, 20 per
cent.
Members of the referendum
league and advocates of the refer.
endum generally are jubilant over
their success attained thus far in
placing an effective initiative and
referendum amendment in the city
charter.
The recall petition having been
circulated for a less period than the
initiative and referendum is not yet
ready to be presented to the city
council, but it is expected to be by
the next meeting.
Thomas Maloney, as chairman OF
the legislative committee of the
central labor union, will present
the petitions.

DISCOVER WHERE
FASSETT BOLTED

By digging into the records,
those interested have recalled the
fact that in 1908 c. NJ. Fassett
bolted the regular republican NUM-
cipal ticket and ran as the candi-
date for the council from the Third
ward FOR the Municipal league, a
body Of men who were not In favor
with the republican policy.
w. II. Acuff was the candidate
for mayor on the same ticket and
was also defeated. Mr.. Fassett ran
against James II. Boyd, republican,
X. G. Dillingham;. democrat, and
Charles Montague. When the votes
were counted Boyd won by a vote
OF $50 to 24S for Dillingham;. Mr.
Fassett ran third with 200 votes.

ed Mr.. Sanders this morning. Il
did not 60 before the club to secure
an Endorsement but merely on the
invitation of that body that l ap-
pear and state my position.
1.-THE Law Enforcement league
was responsible in large measure
for the questions put to the candf-
dates, but the question Of the So.
looms and the restricted district
are no In accord with the league 5
policy and would not consider
myself bound by the Endorsement
any more than Mr.. Hinkle would.
I am prohibitionist and an,
against the saloon at all stages.

trance into the race would spit the
vote in a manner to elect the less
desirable man for the mayoralty,
as has been suggested might be the
case. We want reform along a GER
tain line and do not stand for TEN
porizing. AS a matter Of fact the
use of my name as candidate is
incidental to the issues of the Law
Enforcement league. l have sim.
ply been named as a man who ia.

TO ENJOIN RECALL
ELECTION

LOS ANGELES, March 16.-Suit
will probably be fled this after
noon enjoining the city clerk and
other municipal officials from hav-
ing a ballot printed for a recall
election March 26, when an effort
will be made to GUST Mayor Steph-
ems, just appointed, and elect
George Alexander.
The suit, which will be filed by
the republican organization. will be
based upon the ground that re-
cal was invoked against former
Mayor Harper and that since Har.
vey resigned there is no mayor to
recall; that Stephens be allowed
to serve Harper's term, which ex-
pires Jan. !, next year.

These are the provisions of tho
code on which Judge Huneke has
entered his instruction forbidding
the prosecuting attorney or his
deputies taking any shorthand
notes of the evidence for the use
of the states attorney. They may
make hottest in longhand. and the
grand jury clerk may take Il In
shorthand II he can.
The contention OF the attorneys
for Judge Gordon was that as tho
code did not provide for the taking
OF shorthand notes OF the evidence
by the prosecutor 1t was against
such practice because OF it's failure
to make specific privision for II.
Judge Huneke upheld this con-
