Mr.. Tawney had made it clear at the

president in his effort to pass the bill,

made for satisfactory report.
The tariff bill as it came from the
conference committee was not salts

It is not improbable, however, that

QUESTION Of Harry X. Thaw in the gu

most surprising chapter of the long
cour procedure in which the young
Pittsburger has figured.
Thaw faced Mr.. Jerome's lightning
thrusts for 10 hours. yet he held his
own at all times.
Notwithstanding the mental strain
he vas under, Thaw labored far into
last night with his attorney in Justice
Mills ante-room, going over the multi.
tude Of records used by Mr.. jerome
In his rapid fire of cross questions.
On the whole, Thaw and his attor,
ney are well satisfied with the days
work. Thaw showed even more conf
dence than he exhibited during his
first encounter.
Thaw Explains rubbish"
Jerome based his question chief,
ly upon various documents, letters and
memoranda, which he Produced in sur
rising numbers. The one he, found
most useful was tablet containing
26 sheets of foolscap paper on which
were pasted strange variety of news
paper clipping and scraps of manu-.
script.
Thaw identified it as something he
had prepared mad sent to Dolphin M.
Delmas. his chief counsel during the
first trial, for use in preparing his
closing speech to the Jury. Some of
its contents were strange enough to

planned by saying they were letters

Washington.-The conference re

by vote Of 1876 to 1873. 1t carried
with it the tariff bill and all Its
amendments and was adopted by the
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1909-08-06

The bill, as presented by the con-
ferees, first will be disposed of in the
house and will then go to the senate.
1t is possible the house will be able
to take vote at once. Under the
rules of legislation it cannot be
amended in either house. 1t must be
accepted, rejected, or referred back
to the conference committee. That it
will be accepted, will go to the presi-
dent for his signature and will become
a law within the next week or ten
days is the general prediction made
today.
AS to the big question as to whether
the bill is revision upward, or down,
ward, there is the contradictory argu-
ment that seems to go with all tariff
bills. Members Of the committee de-
clare the measure will be of benefit to
the country in lowering duties on the
necessaries and raising rates on luxur-
les. Opponents of the bill aver that
the duties range from to per cent
higher than the Dingley bill, and that
no relief has been effected on the ar.
ticles most used by the people.
The announcement that the report
would go to the house today was sui.
ficient to attract a great assemblage
for the special session. Members who
had gone to the seashore or their
homes have been called In by tele-
graph, and every possible effort has
been made by the whips Of both Edes
