Eleven Men Struggling to Evolve Law which
will be Acceptable to Everybody.
THE CONFERENCE STAGE NOW REACHED.
Conferees from Both Houses Realize that Some Conces
sions Must be Made-Fight Hinges Number of
Changes Made by Senate the House Conferees Can
be Induced to Accept-Conclusion in Two Weeks.

Washington, July 11.-Making a tar
iff law that will most nearly meet the
wishes Of the greatest number of peo-
pie and at the same time raise suffi-
cient revenue for the expenses of the
government-that is the task with
which for four months both houses of
congress have wrestled, and the task
which has now reached what might be
called the semi-final or conference
stage.
Law Acceptable to ALL
Eleven men, five republican senators
and six republican representatives.
have 'shouldered the responsibility of
evolving from the two tariff bills
passed by the senate and house a law
which will be acceptable, not only to
both houses of congress, but also to
the president and above all to the
mass of the people.
While the conferees from both
houses desire to have retained in the
bill the schedules as approved by their
respective branches, none realize bet
ter than they that they must make
concessions. Their present determine
tion is not to yield or give way to
more concilitatory attitude as the con-
ference wears on.
Will 1t Provide Sufficient Revenue?
The senate made S47 changes many
OF them nearly verbal, in the tariff bill
as IL passed the house. Members of
rhe house claim the latter's measure
comes closer to meeting the public de-
nnand for a revision downward than
does the senate bill. Whether 1t wall
provide all the revenue needed to run
the government is question. The
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1909-07-12

fight hinges on the number of changes
made by the senate thehouse conferees
can BIT induced to accept.
Upon the one hand Senator Aldrich
will be found contending for the high
er revenue raising tariff. On the 9TH
er will be found Representative Sere-
no Payne leading the house forces in
fighting for lower duties.
Senator Aldrich reiterates his state
ment that the senate bill, if enacted
into law, will not impose additional
burdens upon the consumer.
Veteran Tariff Experts View
General r. S. Sharetts, the veteran
tariff expert, who has been a member
of the board of general appraisers in
New York for many years, is authority
for the statement that the senate bill
will show a 2 per cent. reduction from
the rates of the Dingley law, and a
very material reduction from the house
rates. Some folks may say that two
per cent. is not a great reduction,
said General Sharretts today, but
when you consider that the rates of
the Wilson bill, the democratic tariff
measure adopted during the Cleveland
administration, were not two per cent.
lower than the rates of the previous
law. you will realize how extensive a
two per cent. reduction really is"
General Sharretts, who is a demo-
crat. is assisting the conference COM
mittee in it's deliberations. He per-
formed the same office for the demo-
Gratis when the Wilson bill was in con-
ference and was of valuable assist
ance. The work will probably be con-
cluder by the end of next week.

THAW WILL APPEAR
BEFORE JUSTICE MILLS TODAY
Continuation of the Inquiry Into His
Present Mental State.


White Plains, N. Y, July Hilary
X. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, will appear before Justice Mills
tomorrow in the supreme court at the
continuation of the inquiry into his
present mental state. Thaw, his coun-
sci, Charles Morschauser, and his
mother and several other relatives
who have taken up their residence
here to attend the hearings, are greatly
pleased over the decision of Justice
Gaynor of Brooklyn denying the appli-
cation for a change of venue to New
York county. They build their hopes
of the PLAINTIFFS ultimate release from
Matteawan on the fact that Justice
Gaynor's lewiston removes District At
torney Jerome of New York who OPP
poses the release proceedings, from the
case as q direct factor and keeps the
trial in this county. The case is now
entirely In the hands of the attorney
general Of this state, and Deputy At
tDrney General Roger Clarke will con-
duct the opposition to Thaw's release.
1t is said that the state will call
number of witnesses, including physi-
clans and attendants, who have had
the prisoner under observation since
he was committed to Matteawan, who
will testify that in their opinion he is
still insane and a dangerous man to be
let at large. The plaintiff win endeav-
or to refute this testimony with that
of a large number of lay witnesses
who have associated with the prisoner
since his confinement, and several
physicians who are said to have ex-
amined him. 1t seems likely that both
sides will call two or three alienists
to give expert testimony, although in
his decision Justice Gaynor took oc-
casion to suggest that the testimony
of experts appeared to be unnecessary
in the case and declared that the tes-
tirnony of witnesses who had had the
prisoner in their care, and others who
had observed him during the past
eighteen months should. be sufficient
to determine the issue.

THIRTY AUTOS READY
FOR THE cLIDDEN TOUR
First Car Leaves Detroit at Ten This
Morning.

Detroit, Mich, July 11.-Thirty au-
tomobiles, ranging fro mlittle runa-
bouts to great touring cars, are parked
tonight in Cadillac square, awaiting
the signal tomorrow for the sixth an
nual reliability run Of the American
Automobile association, popularity
known as the Glidden tour. Finish
ing touches were put on each of the
cars before it was Checked in by
Chairman F. B. Hover of the contest
committee, and each repair that has
to be- made during the 2.636-mile run
to Kansas City, by way Of Chicago,
Minneapolis and Denver, will result
in a penalization of the machines
score.
In addition to the thirty cars which
will compete for the three trophies
which are the prizes of the run, about
twenty n-competing machines will
make the long trip, carrying officials,
newspaper men, manufacturers and
automobile enthusiasts.
Promptly at ten o'clock tomorrow
morning the first car will be sent off
by the starter At one-minute inter-
walls, the other contestants will run
out Michigan avenue toward Kalama-
zoo, the first control. Each car car
iries an official observer to represent
the contest committee and to record
all accidents and repairs which will
dACEL the SCOIC-
The sixth reliability contest is 1000
miles longer and more severe in every
way than any of it's predecessors. On
ly three of the fifteen days runs call
for les sthan $50 miles, and the last
day of the tour demands the
machines cover 212.S miles from Sa-
lima, Kansas, to Kansas City. That
there will be few. IL any, perfect scores
Is the general prediction of the VET
Grams who have made other reliability
runs, and the more pessimistic pre-
dict that some of the GAYS will not
stay in the run as far as Denver All
of the drivers approach the western
roads with a healthy respect for their
difficulties.
Three different trophies are the
prizes for which the several classes of
machines will contest. Thirty touring
cars are entered for the Glidden tro-
ply, from which the run has taken
the name by which it is popularity
known. For the Hover trophy for
touring runabouts there are fourteen
tntries. Three machines will contest
for the Detroit trophy, offered by the
city of Detroit for miniature tonneau
and double rumble cars

GETTING FUNDS FOR
POOR cHILDREN's OUTING.
Captain Thorne Has Not Half Enough
for Trip Planned for Thursday.

If Captain Robert Thorne of the Sal
walton Army has contributions come in
in sufficient volume this week before
Thursday he will give an outing for a
number of the poor children of the
city, but they will have to come faster
than they have been reaching him of
late, If the children are to benefit in
the way the captain wants them to.
For some time the captain has been
oiut on the streets with his little box
to receive voluntary offerings for the
outing, but this proved a slow way Of
raising the money, and lately he has
been soliciting funds, but he has not
received half enough to enable his
going ahead with the plans for the
outing.
Now he is hoping that all those who
have it in mind to help in this philan-
thropic way will get their contribu-
tions in to him at once, SO that he
may make the arrangements to take
the children somewhere on Thursday.
If the contributions are not enough
to make the outing possible the mon
ey that has been solicited will be de-
voted to the general work, as that was
the understanding when he received it.
