TO AMEND PAYNE TARIFF RIJJ,
Ways and Means COmmittee aoroo.
to Several Changes i'm Measure.
Tax on Cotton.

Washington, April 1.-THE Wavs
and Means committee today agreed
TO several amendments to the PAYNE
tariff bill. The duty on crude cocoa
was reduced from to cents a
pound.
Paragraph 247, relating to TOYS.
was stricken out and a new one in
serted. excepting toys of rubber and
porcelain, which are taxed at 35 per
cent ad valorem. provided that only
those articles should be taxed as TOYS
which are manufactured as play
things for children.
Paragraph 42S was changed so as
to tax tire fabrics, or fabrics used for
pneumatic tires, at As per cent. and
valorem. This is meant to tax long
stapel cotton, used in the fabric.
In the steel and iron schedules
steel ingots, blooms and slabs were
reduced from l cent to $40 of a cent
g. pound. The ad valorem duty on
boiler and plate iron of steel was
stricken out. Some of them were
specific and others were slightly re-
duced.
The drawback feature was so am
ended as to provide that grain must
be manufactured at the same place
where the imported grain is milled
and within IL months. This provi-
sion is intended to guard against
speculation in grain by providing that
the grain intended for drawback pur-
poses can only be manufactured sub
sequent to the importation against
which it is to be charged.

PREVENTS JAIL DELIVERY.
Anderson Sheriff Finds Knife and
Powerful Acids in a Cell.

Anderson. April 7.-Sheriff W. B.
King today nipped in the bud one of
the most daring attempts ever made
at Jail delivery here. Suspecting
something wrong. he searched the
cell occupied by two white men, and
found concealed a knife and three
bottles, each containing about an
ounce Of sulphuric, nitric and hy-
droohloric acids. They were slipped
into the jail by outsiders and evident
ly were intended for use on the bars,
the drugs being powerful enough to
rust these away in a few hours il
properly applied. officers are now
working on clues and expect to make
arrests shortly. The men in Jail are
Frank Turner, charged with nameless
Grimes. and Mart Hopkins, serving a
sentence for blockading. Turner is
believed to have planned the escape.
