TAFT FAV0RS SENATE PLAN
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM RATES
TO BE PROVIDED.

Washington, April 2-President Taft
was informed today OF the senate pro-
grare for the administration of the new
tariff bill II provides that minimum
tariff shall apply to all countries for one
year At the end of that time the max
imum rates shall go into effect against
ali countries which in the opinion of the
president. are not giving the United States
their best tariff rates.
President Taft it is said, strongly IA
vors the idea Of applying the maximum
and minimum principle and it is believed
that it win be finally agreed upon The
plan of administering the minimum and
maximum rates in the house bill as il
now stands, is said TO be indefinite and
less effective than the one proposed by
the senate finance committee.
Prior to the cabinet meeting today Mr.
Taft conferred with Chairman AldTich OF
the senate finance committee and SeCre-
tarv MacVeagh. Senator Aldrich assured
the president that the committee is max
ing satisfactory progress with the bill
and said there would be little or no delay
in taking the matter up in the senate.

Scientific Farmer Utilizes His knowI-

Philadelphia.-Ruyl Smith, a scien

a most practical manner when he
cleared his fields of the heavy snow

opened up some badly drifted roads.

not bulge an inch. Then the man adj
vanced boldly into the center of the
arena, carrying the chair in front of
him. The lion shifted about uneasily,
circling at a safe distance, but without
any show of repentance.
A hush fell upon the audience. II
was evident to all that this was not a
part of the acting, and II looked as If
a crisis might be rather close at hand.
The big brute was now between Max
well and the cage door.
Again Maxwell cracked his heavy
lash, this time very near the beast
nose. 1t drew out Beppo's ire in the
shape of another snarl and a spring at
the whip. This added a good deal to
the dramatic effect of the situation,
but In every other respect the trainer
might as well have snapped his finger
Plainly the man was getting somewhat
apprehensive. Still, he was game,
and perhaps little angry withal
Again his lash shot out, and this time
MaXwell's arm went with 1t far enough
TO carry II within landing distance.
The point of the lash fell sharply upon
the big monarch's nose Royalty had
been outraged. and with a roar the
huge brute charged upon his antagon-
list. Maxwell seized the chair by the
back and thrust it out In his oppon-
cnt's face. The obstacle slight as IL
seemed, stopped him and sent him cir
cling about the cage, sullen and watch
full. Again the lash just reached him,
and again he charged, until checked
by this simple barrier Then Maxwell
Numbered, either through anger or ex-
element. With the brute so close to
his defense he struck again, and this
time good deal more than the tip of
the lash left its sting. Almost as it
fell. the huge paw shot out and with
ore sweep, struck the chair whirling

upon the floor, mass of fragments,
and exposed the man entirely to his

antagonists face @ face, so very near
each other and about TO begin a strug-

the man. Maxwell stood rigid as a
stone wall-he dared not move. The
lifting of hand at that moment would
have launched that tawny death upon
him instantly. but he kept his head
