ON THURSDAY
Agreement Reached That the Senate
Shall Vote on the Report on
Thursday Afternoon at
2P. M.
TAFT LEAVES FRIDAY
Cotton Bsgslns is Sticking Pss ! .

Time Among the s.
ators.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.The SEN
ate this afternoon agreed on motion Of
Senator Bailey to vote on the confer.
ence report of the tariff bill at Q p.
m. Thursday.
When Taft was Informed this af-
ternoon that the senate would vote
on the tariff bill Thursday. he an
nounced that he would probably leave
Washington for Beverly on Friday
evening.
Clapp made speech denouncing the
tariff bill. After waiting to see If
others would follow Clapp, the vice
president put the motion Of adoption
of the conference report Before the
motion for roll call, Bailey's mo-
ton was adopted. Bailey's yelled
threat about a lengthy debate on the
resolution of a correct conference re-
port was rather disconcerting to the
republicans. It was meant as an in
timation that the democratic purpose
was to use the opportunity to COMPEL
the restoration Of cotton bagging to
the free list McCumber, a member
OF the conference committee who suf.
sfered much in the conference report,
stated he would vote for the bill. The
objectionable language in the leather
schedule is generally credited to
Lodge, Representative Gardner, his
son-in-law and representative from
Mccall all from Massachusetts,. It is
also credited as giving Taft the i'm
preston that boots and shoes worn
by men in the street are made from
cattle hides which will be on the free
list. Culbertson announced he would
offer a resolution placing cotton bag
ging on the free list. Clapp said that
France suffered an injustice by the
working out of the maximum and min
imum provision as it appears in the
conference report Other countries
get from six months to year notice
Of the termination of existing CONNER
cial treaties while France will get
only three months. Aldrich replied
| that notice of the termination of treat
les was given three months ago, and
the matter would work out satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
McCumber in an interview said the
bill. had the approval of the president
and will meet the demands of the
people more than the Dingley law. He
said he deemed it his duty to vote
/ for the bill, although there were
! many duties which didn't meet his ap.
proval. He complained that when the
/ conference senate members objected
I to make concessions to the house 1t
I always did SO at the expense of agri.
culture interests. He had just come
! from a call on the president whom he
! had asked to agree to a recommit.
ment of the bill. He found the presi.
dent anything but agreeable to the
| proposition. 'The president believes

committed, said McCumber. For

committed for think 1t has many SER
