scene Of the shooting handed him a
revolver with the curt command to
''tsalSe tl1is."
n was dark and he could not see
whe the officer was. DeHart soon af-
terWard threw the revolver into the

DeHart is hardly more than a boy,
and he created considerable amuse-
4 ment by frankly admitting he had been
out with EisAds the night in question,
and was "alfghtly under the influence
of liquor.'
The young. sergeant's mind was
quite hazy In regard to anything that
might, but he was positive that he was

issues Of the tariff, as the free raw
materials items have been facemously
termed, today stood out as the only
dark cloud in an otherwise clear tariff
situation. While there are a number
of other Important items which have
not been settled finally by the tariff
conferees, an agreement with regard
to them. practically has been reached,
and 1t was expected most of them
would be disposed of before the con-
ferees adjourned tonight.
BY the process of elimination the
conference committee had cleared
away nearly all changes in the phrase
ology of all Of the administrative fea-
lures except the drawback and one or
two internal revenue amendments and
nearly all the disputed paragraphs in
the dutiable and free list when they
adjourned yesterday. The only ex-
ceptions were coal, lumber iron ore,
oil and hides, and the manufactures
of these raw materials. as we'll as the
cotton schedule, hosiery, gloves, wood
pulp and print paper, structural steel
punched for use. A compromise on all
these measures except hides, coal,
lumber, iron ore and oil, regarding
which the president has had much to
say, had been suggested and consid-
cred by both sides with the prospect
agreement today.
Report Expected Monday.
In the hope that the conference COM
mittee on the tariff may be able to re-
port by that time, the senate today adj
journed until next Monday instead of
Tuesday, as would have been necessary
under unanimous agreement for three
day interims pending the report of the
conference committee.
Fight Said to Be Over.
Eve are going to have a, BILL and
soon," said Senator El<ins after brief
call at the White House today.
"The fight is over" said a member of
i.the house who was an earlier caller at
the executive offices.
All congressional callers at the White
| House today left the impression that
| the president would win sufficient con-
cessions in his fight for downward re-
I! vision, especially on raw materials, as
to make 1t sure a bill will be devised
| the anti ti-free-raw-material senators
and representatives are still on the fir
ing line, devoting their energies now
! to flank movement against the
schedules on manufactured and finish
| ed products.
May Finish Tonight.
/ The most striking sign of approach
, ing quick and decisive action on the
tariff bill appeared this afternoon when
/ the conference committee excluded the
clerk and everybody else except the
conferees themselves, and went into
strictly executive session 1t was then
understood that the committee would
stick to its task with possibly a brief
recess for dinner this evening, until
iron, hides, coal, lumber, wood pulp
and print paper and structural steel
were disposed of. There are good
signs for a finish Of the conference work

MARKET MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY

New York. Dec. a.-The reduction OF
the Bank of England's official dis
count rate today had a strengthening
effect on the securities markets In
all the great financial centers. The
demand which carried prices upward
with much hesitation was mostly from
professional traders.
The trunk line group generally was
strong. the differential lines moving
with the main trunk lines. The rise
in the Rock Island stocks and in Wa
bash preferred gave new lease of
life to rumors of combination of
those lines in connection with the in
terest secured in Lehigh Valley by the
Rock Island controlling factors. Anal
gamated Copper and other metal
industriais were active owing to reviv-
al OF the rumors of the copper COM
bine. An extra dividend by one Of
the large copper producers was part
III responsible for strength In that
group. The closing tone was strong.
Bonds were firm. Total sales. par
value. $4.46i. 600.
United States bonds were unchanged
