Washington. Aug. 6.-Champ Clark,
minority leader of the house, today
issued a statement regarding the
statements that if the dem

paired they would have defeated the
conference report ON the tariff bill.
Clark denies this statement and
states that the democrats came out of
the tariff fight more thoroughly uni
ted than they have been in a genera
tiOn, while the republican ranks were
worse shattered than ever before. He
also denies that the bin is revision
downward, claiming the average Of
the rates is two per cent higher than
those of the Dingley bin and when
hthe maximum rates go into effect
they will be 27 per cent higher.

YOUNGER MEN ARE WANTED
sn THE WEATHER HUREAu

Washington, Aug. 6.-Old men
make way for younger blood. This in
effect is the insinuation which has
been sent along the line of the United
States weather bureau field service by
Chief Willis L. Moore. 1t means in
plain words that the day of men over
three score years of age occupying
high positions in that service is passed.
Younger men are being pushed to the
front to fill the places once occupied
by gray haired veterans. Men who have
reached the age above indicated will
not be LET out of the service, but will
sake less important stations. Illustra-
tions of the fact that this is to be-
come the policy for the weather bur-
reau are found in the changes made
at Philadelphia. indianapolis, Cincin-
natl. Nashville and st. Louis, all OF
which posts had been filled with men
whose ages are between 60 and 20
years, but are now occupied by young
sr men.
