MAY SIGN BILL NEXT WEEK
Looking Forward Now to His Vaca-
ton, When He Will Work on
His Coming Message.

President Taft will sign the new tariff
satisfied with the measure as a whole
and believes it is a great improvement
over the Dingley law. He knows that no
tariff bill will suit every body but he
thinks. under the circumstances, that
much has been accomplished. and that
the people at large will be fairly well
pleased with the new law
The Presidents congressional callers

assured him that the bill would have
prompt passage and would meet with
practically no opposition. 1t is their
opinion that the measure will be placed
in the hands Of the President before the
end of next week. He will sign it al
most Immediately upon arrival. He will
give time between now and the passage
to studying each schedule, and will not
feel 1t necessary to go again into the
many paragraphs.
The President was i'm happy frame Of
mind today. His many callers congratu-
lated him upon the outcome. and told him
that the country would properly estimate
his participation in the final result. Right
on this point. though, the President is
willing that it shall be known that he
did not butt into the conference. He
was not only formally invited to take
part in the framing of the bill in con-
ference, but the conferees went so far as
to take votes on certain schedules, with
the distinct understanding that nothing
would be final until approved by the
President. If the President disapproved,
the conferees were 10 open up the subject
for another vote

Looking Forward to Vacation.

SOAAAS - Va " UASA w 8S"SAOAs
The President is now looking forward
to the brief summer vacation he will get
at Beverly. Mass He will not be able to
go there before August Z, and the sched-
| ule of his long western trip calls for his
departure from there September IL. CIV
ing him just little over five weeks His
trip through the west and south will be
the longest and most arduOus ever plan
ned by a President. 1t will last two
! months. and there will be times when he
will visit half a dozen cities in one day.
The President plans now to work upon
his message during his vacation at Bev
eriy and have it practically completed
when he goes away from there.
| The most important part of his mes
sage will be that dealing with amend
ments to the laws regulating interstate
commerce. He wishes to complete that
part of his message during the vacation
at Beverly, if possible. He has we'll de-
fined ideas as to what he will recon-
mend but he has not obtained all the
data he has asked for upon which 10
base his recommendations. He requested

Trade With Philippines.

There are SO many features of the new
tariff bill that meet the hearty approval
of the President that he willingly over
ordinarily have his backing. Free admis-
sion of Philippine products he regards as
his own child. He has been working for
it for ten years. Although he is the
father of the corpora ton tax. he did not
place that ahead of the determined policy
of downward revision.
He regards the submission of an income
tax constitutional. amendment to the peo-
pie through the legislatures as one of the
greatest achievements of the present Con-
Sress. This is the first constitutional
amendment that has been submitted TO
the country since reconstruction days.
Other important provisions of the tariff
bill, in the estimation of the President.
are those for tariff court, for the maxi
mum and minimum and for tariff COM
mission. Although the President fully
understands that certain influences tried
commission. he can see large possibilities
in that provision. The President is con-
fident that proper provision will be made
in appropriations for salaries of the tariff
commissioners. While the commission is
now constituted as an advisory body to
the President of the United States, it is
not much of a step for the President to
submit to Congress the data and informa-
ton gathered by the commission.
The President will not make public the
letter he wrote to Senator Aldrich yes
terday stating what he would accept in
rates on lumber, gloves and hosiery. He
Is not disposed to put that big stick on
exhibition and it will be laid away in
peaceful repose.

port Bryan-Bonaparte
Declined.

Washington, Nov. 2t.-It is shown
| by department of Justice records af-
lfecting the so-calleJ electrical trust,
THAT the government in July, 1908,
was offered million dollar bride to
cease further investigation of the
operations Of the corporations alleged
to be involved.
The bribery attempt was made in
this form
/. If the trust-busting investiga-
ton against the electrical interests of
the country was stopped $1,000,o00
would be contributed to the Republi-
can national campaign fund, and in
addition Taft's candidacy would be
given the earnest and hearty support
of this vast industrial interest, with
it's powerful ramifications into com
mercial and electric railway circles.
2. The suggestion that if the gov
eminent did not comply with the
terms of this generous offer, made in
the spirit of party loyalty, 1t might
be necessary for the electric interests
purely in self defense, to support the
Bryan candidacy, thus. through
money and sympathy taking from the
Republican presidential ticket the
electoral vote of a number Of states
necessary to insure Tafts election
Offer is stunt.
OF course, the bribe offer was not
made in this exact language, but 1t
was with almost as direct bluntness.
Fairly driven to desperation over
the records already in the possession
of the government. and fearing the
worst, as the trust prohers were en-
terng the telephone and electric
street railway domain, the man who
offered the million on behalf of the
electric interests. as he said, ami
whose credentials were not ques-
toned by the government, had plainly
decided that soft words were no
longer of avail
Forgetting that what he said would
be perpetuated in the confidential
files of the department of Justice, he
made his point so clear that when
the matter was taken up to President
Roosevelt late in july, the executive
characterized the whom who rendered
the bride as a 'scoundrel.'
In plain black and white Is shown
explicitly the offer, and the official
rejection and the presidential de-
nunciation. President Roosevelt's
letter to Attorney General Bonaparte,
in replying to the notification of the
bride offer is in part as follows:
GThe blanks represent the game,
which is not yet made public, but is
