A TARIFF BILL PASSED
House Debate on Automobiles for
Vice-President and Speaker.
Iron IRE Tribune Rureau.I

Washington. Aug 2-AIthough quorum was
not present. the House adopted the conference re-
port on the Philippine tariff bill to-day. Represen-
tatve Hill 0S Connecticut had charge Of the meas
and succeeded in explaining away all Demo-
cratic objections No important changes had been
made by the conferrees.
Representative Champ Clark objected when Mr..
Tawney attempted to have the deficiency bill go
into conference without debate.
During the debate which followed the fact was
developed that Uncle joe Cannon pays only
80 cents garment for his underwear This inter
esting bit Of gossip was vouched for by Represen-
tative Thetus Willrette Sims. OF Tennessee. who
readily turned it into argument against the item
in the bill which provides for appropriation Of
$1,000 for automobiles for the Vice-President and
the Speaker.
The other day" said Mr.. Sims Uncle joe and
7 went downtown to buy some underwear. We
stopped in haberdashery, and of course, the clerk
knew Uncle joe So he lugged out some under
wear at a suit-s3.50 a gaTment-and tried
TO stick Uncle Joe with it, 1t is guaranteed said
he. to keep the human frame in health and to
prevent all the ills TO which the flesh is heir
Did Uncle joe buy it? He did not. Give me
some underwear at 80 cents a crack, said he And
that is what he bought. I bought some too" Mr..
Sims then remarked that any man who wears so
cent underwear is too democratic to want an auto
mobile
whats more he declared, lever since the
House appropriated money for automobiles for Mr..
Taft he has been riding horseback and playing
golf"
Mr. Clark the minority leader declared that II
any OF the items for appropriations for automobiles
other items OF increased expenditure are agreed
by the House ConferTees the bill would never
be passed by the House without quorum present
Mr.. Clayton. while agreeing with Mr.. Tawney's
proposition. said he wanted To know why the pro-
vision for vehicle for the Vce-President specif-
calIy named an Automobile while the provision
for the Speaker merely stipulated carriage or
other vehicle
Does this mean that are to provide an aero
plane. a biplane or a monopIane for the Speaker
he asked.
Maybe dirigible.' suggested Mr. Keifer
"Or does it mean that the Speaker is to ride
around a motorcycle such as the policemen use?"
continued Mr.. Clayton
Mr.. Tawney said he would interrogate the Senate
conferrces regarding this and other matters If the
bill is sent conference. No objection being made
the committee Of the whole recommended that the
amendments he disagreed to. and the House adopt
ed the recommendation.
The leaders expect to have quorum present to-
morrow to vote the deficiency bill
