Although the President is not thoroughly satisfied with the bill, he expresses the belief that it is in the main a revision down ward. as promised by the Republican party platform and his own campalg1 speeches He was in a happy mood to-day over the amiable adjustment or the differences that have prevailed l ! the committee and told a number of. his callers that he was glad he had had something to do with the prepara- tion of the pill. He had been request ed by the conferees to make lis wishes known and nearly every vote that was taken by the committeeman was done so with the express understanding that the votes must be contingent upon the Presidents approval.
 The President regards the bill in it's present shape as a very general im- proyement over the Dinglev law In the first place. lower tariff for which he has fought unremittently for ten years is to be made into law. This tariff. the President regards as his "child"

POLICE DECLINE
 CIVIL BUSINESS
Claiming Owner of Wagon Does Private Justice With
 Baseball Bat.
WRIT OF REPLEVIN NEEDED

''The police department must not be used as an agency for the settlement of disputes, which are of a purely civil nature,'' said Superintendent Birming- ham, this morning, in regard to the attempt of Thomas Semon to have George Thompson arrested for taking wagon last night from Semon's barn. both men claiming ownership of the wagon. Semon thought the most eff fective way to stop Thompson from getting away with the wagon was to hit him over the head with a small baseball bat. The blow opened a wound in Thompson's cranium, and after he had taken the wagon to a place of safety, he hastened to the Emergency hospital where he was treated by pr. Bennett.
 Although Thompson made com plaint no warrant was issued; but it was scarcely necessary as all the part ies were present in the city court this morning and waited patiently during the lengthy session. When Judge Eos ter had left the bench they made their presence known and continued to do SO for the ensuing half hour. Prose- cutting Attorney Delaney nolled the case because he felt that the question of ownership should be settled by a civil action. It will be necessary to have writ of replevin issued and in
 
 may be determined.
 This action on Attorney DeLaney's part was not at all pleasing to MT. Semon who stormed about the court room during the informal hearing and in the end vent down stairs and told Superintendent Birmingham all about it. The Superintendent referred him to the prosecuting attorney, but Semon said that he could get no redress there. and expressed himself rather forcibly to the effect that he was tax payer and should be given some considera- ton by the police. He evidently failed to realize that the police did show him great consideration in not holding him on the charge of assaulting George Thompson.
 Semon claims that some years ago he purchased the wagon from D. E. 1 McNamara and some time ago he ai- lowed Thompson to take it for a short period. Now the latter says that it was given him and that, he was per- mitted to keep the wagon in Semon's barn. Thompson was ever present this morning and no matter, where Semon went Thompson was sure to follow and give his side of the controversy The wagon has disappeared and only Thompson knows its whereabouts

TARIFF BILL SUBMITTED

| J
 Washington. July so.-In it's perfect ed form, the new tariff bill was sub- mitted to the House to-day. It came from the hands of Chairman Payne leading House conferee, as the report of the joint conference committee that had struggled for 21 days in its efforts to reconcile the differences in the House and Senate bills. aud at the same time to meet the approval ot President Taft.
 The bill as reported by the con- ferees, will first be disposed of in the It is possible that the House will be able to take a vote on it by tomorrow night. Under the rules of legislation, it cannot be amended in either house. ferred back to the conference commit tee. That it will be accepted, will go to the President for his signature and will become a law within the next week or ten days. is the general pre- diction to-day.
 As to the big question whether the bill is revision upward or downward there is the contradictory argument that seems to go with all tariff bills. Members of the committee declare that the measure will be of benefit to the country in lower duties on neces- sities and higher rates on Iuxuries. Opponents of the bill charge that the rates average from to 3 per cent. higher than those of the Dingley law and that no relief has been afforded on articles most used by the people.
 The announcement that the report will go to the House to-day was suf- icient to attract a. great assemblage for the special session. Members who had gone to the seashore or to their homes had been called in by telegraph and every possible effort has been made by the whips of both sides to bring 'out the largest possible attend ance. The political and. economic is- sues involved were of the highest inl~ was pressed with an energy warrant ed by the value of the bill.
 Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Committee, gray; f1orid, portly, but serene despite the months of rack ing work called for by thk bill was cognitiop soon after the opening pray CT and tossed into the arena the bone of what promises to be the liyeliest sort of contention during the ensuing week.
 He stated that he had an inyesti- gation made. based on the last census returns of 1905, showing the amount of domestic consumption of articles upon which duties had been lowered by the bill as reported. This had been done he explained. because certain compari- sons had been based u1Qn the total amount on important articles.
 The duties have been lowered where they have been too high under the present law, sometimes prohibitive in character" he said, ''and for that req son the important ones were compara- lively small. Also they have been raised in some instances where the tariff was insufficient for protec ion. and the importations were very great" "
 Payne then presented the following table which he declared showed the consumption value of articles on which rates of duty had been increas- ed and decreased in all cases where the amount of production will be as- certainede

Whether they will just organize and

There were three members absent

of record for the present board. The
first matter taken up was the lighting
of the new Alder street pumping sta

of the public building committee at the
last meeting. The chairman of the
committee reported that the Northern
Indiana Gas and Electric company was
preparing to run electric wires to the
Cudahy plant, and as they would have

advisable to wait and buy the current

BROADWAY
CLEARED

Fourteen teams and thirty men were
employed yesterday by the street de-
partment under Street Commissioner
p. C. Finnerty to remove the hun
dreds of yards of snow which piled up
on Broadway during the recent bliz-
Yard, and which for time seriously
INSTRUCTED traffic
Not only Gid the snow interfere with
the teaming on Broadway, but the
street commissioner realized that when
the first thaw came the Great White
Way woul-s be converted into min
iature river and that it would be al
most impossible for pedestrians. The
first work which the men were put at
was the cleaning of of the crossings,
which was accomplished by noon to-
day. The street car tracks were kept
clear by the Gary & Interurban snow
pillow and the street cars were run
ming on time throughout Sunday and
yesterday.
The worst difficulty arising from the
heavy snowfall Is the negligence on
the part of the private property own
ers in cleaning off their sidewalks.
There has been but few of them this
year who have showed a disposition
to care for their walks and make pro-
gress on the residence streets any
thing but difficult. These people,
Commissioner Finnerty states, he will
look after as soon as the heavy snow
fall on Broadway can be cared for.

While quite good many of Miss

a surprise to those who knew her less
intimately. Mr.. and Mrs. Crossman,
whose marriage will take place in the
Washington city, will spend some time
in touring the west and will make their
future home in Spokane. The young
principals position will most likely be
filled by Miss Gosch, who has been

East Chicago, Dec 2s.-Extensive
improvements are under way in the
Interstate mill, which will increase the
capacity of the plant about one-fourth
what it is at the present time. and
which represents an expenditure of
$4,000. It will also mean the employ
ment of about two hundred and fifty
additional men.
With anything like good weather, it
is expected that the Improvement,
which will take the form of a twenty
two inch bar mill, the largest bar mill
Of its kind in the country will be COM
pleted by March 1. The structural
steel of which the new building is
to be erected. has been manufactured
and is now en- route to East Chicago
from Milwaukee where it was made.
The building will be 250x7O feet in di-
mensions
The bar mill is not the only improve
mnt being put in by the enterprising
Interstate. The company is now put
ting in an entirely new water system,
and the intake from the canal has al
ready been laid. Everything that is
being done is on gigantic scale, and
the improvements are the very best
that brains and money can procure
The intake IS of brick and concrete
constructed along the most approved
lines, and the water will be pumped
into all parts of the plant, by means
of the most modern centrifugal pumps
The furnaces are to be the largest ever
built in a bar mill and will be of the
newest kind. This also applies to the
hot beds. With the exception of the
