TARIFF CONFERENCE LIKELY.

Washington, May 6.-Searching
arrangement of the Aldrich tariff bill
was delivered in the senate today by
Cummins, OF Iowa. "The bill of the
senate finance committee will not be
accepted by those, who favored re-
vision of the tariff" he sale. '.as
either a fulfllment of the party
pledge or as a settlement of the con-
troversy. The demand for a revision
came from those who believed we
were paying too much for what we
had to buy" f
1T was under a demand OF the
people who buy that the party in its
organized capacity promised revision
OF the tariff and the senator who
imagines he can satisfy these people
by saying the revision with higher or
substantially the same duties Is in
compliance with the platform. little
understands the relation between the
people and the platforms" said Cum
Minis. There will come a time when
clamor OF millions. who want re-
lief, will sound like the roar of a
thousand Niagaras."
Congressman Murphy today arose
to the question of personal privilege
and roundly denounced Attorney
Frank Hagerman and Judges Philips
and Mcpherson and contradicted
Hagerman's statement. Congressman
Rucker said: ''If l had my way
these judges would have been i'm
peached 20 years ago." The house
took no action on the resolution.
Murphy did not call it up for action.
"lf the Missouri legislature should
pass another rate law under the pres
ent rulings, state officials would be
compelled to go in to the federal
court at Kansas City to ask permits
sion to put it into effect" he said.
and declared the resolution had not
been introduced for personal or po-
litical reasons, but for the good of
Missouri. tft FL

Rode to County Prison in
Carriage With Sheriff and
Left Horse in Front...Still
Hopes For Release Today.

Every effort to make bail having
failed, Hiram Smedley, former county
clerk, who was indicted by the grand
jury for forgery, embezzlement and
false pretense, went to jail this morn
ing. He remained in the corridor like
the remainder of the prisoners from
1880 O'Clock until $3.50 o'clock, when
he was escorted to circuit court and
presented before Judge Reed It was
agreed that If bond of $4,000 could
be made he would be released. Re
newed efforts are being made to give
the bond.
Ten indictments of the batch re-
turned yesterday were served on him,
making the total bond $500, while
the bond of the first indictment was
reduced from $3.50 to $500, making
the total bond $1,000.
Sheriff Ogilvie announced yester-
day afternoon that he would be taken
to jail at o'clock unless the bond
was made. but learning of a possible
chance to make bond this morning
the sheriff left him under guard last
night. This morning the effort to
give bond failed and at 1880 o'clock
Sheriff Ogilvie and Mr.. Smedley drove
to the county jail in Mr.. Smedley's
carriage.
Sheriff Ogilvie turned Mr.. Smedley
over to Deputy Jailer Purchase, who
placed him in the corridor a minute
later. and he was accorded the same
treatment as is given the other white
prisoners. Mr.. Smedley took the sit
uation calmly, and did not object to
being locked up, although he inquired
II he could remain in the Office.
Mr.. Smedley left his carriage in
front of the jail several hours, as he
still had hopes of making the bond.
On his return from court he was
locked up again, but was taken out
later for a conference with relatives.
Should the bond not be made, It Is
stated by the officials that he win be
placed in a cell tonight exactly as are
other prisoners.

Conference WIN Frame Tariff.

Washington, May 6.-The posi-
bilities OF the passage of the tariff
bill and the adjournment OF the spe-
cial session of congress before June
10 or July l. seem to have vanished
This conclusion has been reached by
the president as result of the. re-
cent talks with the senator's and rep
resentatiyes. and he made 1t known
Among those who have followed
the trend of the important legislation
on the tariff, there is belief that a
real tariff revision bill remains TO be
framed In conference. Whatever in
fluence Taft feels he can bring to
bear IN securing a satisfactory meas
ure will be exerted upon the con-
ferees. The president is averse to
being drawn into the fight at any
stage. and there is no thought that
he will be, until the conferees begin
their consideration of the two bills
as passed by the house and senate.
In view OF the conflicting reports
as to the presidents attitude on the
various special taxation propositions
suggested In connection with the new
bill, the president has reiterated his
position to recent callers. He is still
hopeful that the revenue TO be de-
rived from the new bill with econo-
mics In administration of the govern
ment, will prove SUFFICIENT to prevent
a deficit. II 1t should be shown, how
ever, that the government finances

Project Financed by Eastern
Capitalists and Only Pre-
liminary Preparations will
Delay Work Of Construction

Promoters hope TO begin construc-
ton work on the Paducah and May
field interurban railroad In the next
two or three months. The contract
for the construction has not been
let. but as all the financial arrange
ments have been completed II Is
practically certain that the road will
be in operation within the next eight
months. Nothing has doomed up to
prevent the railroad being built. The
promoters have been at work quietly
for many months. and are confident
that the road will be constructed,
although they are not talking much.
When the contract for the road is
let. II is Intended to rush II to COM
pletlon. Work will begin at both the
Paducah and Mayfield terminals.
while third construction gang will
begin work In the middle OF the line.
Engineers estimate that the road
should be completed in eight months,
allowing liberal time for delays occa-
stoned BY inclement weather.
Mr.. J. r. Harth returned last week
from a trip in the east and all the
bonds have been purchased and moth
ing remains as a stumbling block. so
far as the finances are concerned TO
prevent the road from being built.
Three routes have been surveyed
by the engineers. but the officials have
never selected definitely the route.
The entire right-of-way on each route
has been secured. and the promoters
will choose the road which will bene-

In imposing a tax on bachelors, the
London government will revive a tax
that existed in England from May 4,
1895, to Aug. l, 1905, during which pc
riod every unmarried man had to pay
an impost graduated according to his
station in life. This ranged from S63
in the case of dukes and archbishops
down to % cents in the case of those
scheduled as "other persons" Gen
tlemen" had to pay $3.50, esquires and
doctors of divinity, law and physic,
$3.50, and sergeants at law $40.
Benedicts were penalized, too, as we'll

was ordained to pay $3.50 when he mar

SIPS when every younger son was born,

$3.50 when his wife was buried and $3.50
when his eldest son was buried. From
