The debate continued the remainder

KING WILL NOT
MEET ROOSEVELT

Rome, April 3-The Tribuna prints
an official denial that King Victor
Emmanuel will meet Mr.. Roosevelt
or take him to Messina. This seems
to be confirmed by what the SOW
ereign said to Ernest Bicknell, ma
tional director of the American Red
Cross, whom he received yesterday.
The king told Bicknell that he was
going to Messina but that he could
not decide when he would do so,
since it was very difficult for him to
leave Rome. His majesty, during the
audience, was most affable to Bick-
nell and told him Italy never would
forget the generosity of America dur
ing the earthquake.

TAFT PLEASED At
TARIFF PROSPECT
SENATE PROMISES NO DELAY
WHEN HOUSE VOTE
is TAKEN.
TO GIVE PRESIDENT AUTHORITY
TO DETERMINE MAXIMUM
AND MINIMUM RATES.

Washington, April 3.-President
Taft was informed yesterday of the
senate program for the administration
of the new tariff bill. 1t provides
that the minimum tariff shall apply to
all countries for one year. At the
end of that time the maximum rates
i'll go into effect against all countries,
which in the opinion of the president,
are not giving the United States
their best tariff rates.
The president is understood to favor
strongly this idea of the application
Of the maximum and minimum princi-
pie and it is believed it will be the
plan finally agreed upon. The plan
of administering the minimum and
maximum rates in the house bill as it
now stands, is sai1 to be more in
definite and less effective than the
one proposed by the senate finance
committee. The difference in the
maximum and minimum rates pro-
posed by the senate committee is 20
per cent.
Prior to cabinet meeting yes
terday, President Taft had confer
ence with Chairman Aldrich OF the
senate finance committee and Secre-
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Mr..
Aldrich assured the president that the
committee is making most satisfac-
tory progress with the tariff bill and
~, II = III
in taking the matter up in the SEN
ate following the vote of the house.
The plan governing the enforce
ment of rates gives to the executive
complete power of inquiry and deci-
sion
The supreme court of the United
States in case involving the constl-
tutionality Of the Mckinley tariff act,
decided that congress, by a similar
method OF administration, was in no
wise delegating it's authority to the
executive. Congress will fix the alb
solute rates which will apply under
the circumstances which it prescribes.
and no legislative discretion will rest
with the president
Mr.. Taft seems more satisfied just
now than at any other time as to the
tariff outlook, especially in the SEN
ate, where grave disasters have been
predicted.

The senate concurred in the as

Storm Is Fierce

Storm Is Fierce
One Of the most peculiar
storms for years, fell upon us
last night after rather a
pleasant day, the sky became
overcast with heavy clouds to-
ward evening and occasionally
rain fell, and in the early even
ing the wind came from tie
northwest bringing slight snow
rain, thunder and lightning,
and during the night a terrific
wind blew, driving the snow in
to every open space, and form
ing drifts on the streets, maxi
ing travel almost impossible.
1t was nearly ten o'clock
when there were several flashes
of lightning and many people
were under the impression that
it was flashes from the electric
light wires which were known
to be down in places.
We do not know exactly how
hard thn wind did hlOw hnt
the weather bureau in Sioux
City report velocity of nearly
sixty miles an hour, and it d id
seem almost that bad here.
Signboards, signs, windows,
outhouses etc, were blown all
over the streets. Rodents sign
was blown down and was used
to patch up the window in
Fitch's barber shop. C. A.
Walker had several window
lights broken in his hall; the
electric light office and plant
had several panes of glass brok-
en- out; at Hans Larson's sew
eral panes broken, and many
other places suffered in like
manner. One of the big circle
windows in the opera house, up
istairs, was blown out and car
ried into a tree south of the
building, but was not broken
at all.
The stacks at the city water
plant were blown down some.
time during the night. At the
shops considerable damage
was done in the way Of roofs
being blown off, doors blown
down, window lights broken,
etc. The boiler shop was pretty
we'll filled with snow, and tie
force at work was small, wit h
the exception of those in the
new round house. A number
of the men were on hand at

but were sent home.
The telephone company arc
the electric light company will
. suffer the greatest loss. Many
. of the telephones are out OF
service and the electric light
wires are broken in many
places, and it will be unsafe to
have the lights on this evening
unless extensive repairs have
. been made. Everybody should
make it a point to report wires
down along the streets in order
to prevent accidents in case
the lights are turned on.
The rural telephone lines are
practically out of business anc
in some cases towns are cut off
from communication. In small
towns the telephone companies
are harder hit than in the cities
for in the latter the wires are
nearly all in cables.

very low last night, only regis
