HOUSE ACTING G IN CASE OF
 OfE
CoNGRESSMEN WANT TO DEFINE SPECIFICALLY THE EXACT STATUS OF PETROLEUM
 AND PRODUCTS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, April F. - The House was in session two hours and fifteen minutes today. First action it took was the adoption of a resolution calling upon the Senate for the return of the Payne bill Thursday in order that it might be corrected so az to in elude the products of petroleum on the free list.
 During the confusion incident to the passage of the bill Friday it was be- lieved it included this provision, but it afterwards developed that such was not the ease, although it clearly was the intention to include these pro ducts along with crude oil and refined petroleum. The correction will be made in a few minutes and will cause no de- lay in the senate.
 After sending the census bill to con ference, the house adjourned until Thursday.

 NEW YORK, April 12.-A writ of habeas corpus was secured in behalf of s. s. Varvalho, Bradford Merrill, and Edward II. Clark, officers of the Star Company, publishers of the New York American and Evening Journal, in the action brought against them for criminal libel, on the complaint of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The writ was upheld by Justice Gerard of the su- preme Court today, and the defendants ordered discharged.
 Rockefeller complained of the publi- cation in the American last year of an article wrongly accusing him of orig mating the peonage system among em' ployes of a breakfast food company in Illinois.
 In the opinion the justice eharae- -terizes the article as a gross, vicious libel, and says the writers and pub fishers should be brought to trial, but no evidence exists to show that the three men mentioned had anything whatever to do with the writing or the publication.

IRON REDUCED I5 CENTS A TON
 TOBACCO, SUGAR SAME
AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULE IS LITTLE CHANGED-RATRs ON SPIRITS ARE
 INCREASED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, April 12-The sen ate committee on finance with all mam- bers present met today. Chairman A. drieh presented the tariff bill as amended by a majority of the com mittee. Aldrich in a statement con eerning the, bill, said: teIn the main the rates in the tariff bill as reported by the senate finance committee ars lower than those in the bill passed by the house. The reductions are abeut three times the number of, the in ereaseS.
 ''Sueh increases as have been made are largely rendered necessary to pre- serve the symmetry of schedules. 4 considerable number of articles In common use are taken from the dutia- ble list and restored to the free list, A great mass of rates reported are below those of the existing law. One important change is that of putting distilled and expressed oils on the free list.
 "Tne restoration of iron ore to the dutiable list at 27 cents a ton Is re- duetion of fifteen cents a ton on this schedule. It is thought that the rate on lead ore of IT, cents a pound will be returned, but the rate will be raised on lead products to correspond.
 "The only important change in the lumber schedule is the restoration of imported hardwoods to the free list.
 Sugar and tobacco are untouched. The agricultural schedule is practical ly unchanged. Cocoa and spices have been returned to the free list. The increased rates on spirits and wines are to Is per cent.
 "In the cotton schedule the fash ionsble hosiery rates have been re- stored to a basis of the present law. Wool has also been returned to the present sehedule.''
 Wood pulp, coal and hides are left open for further action.
 The increases provided for were mainly in the schedules covering lux uries. The entire liquor. schedule is materially advanced. The increase oa wines and spirits are expected to bring about $3,OOO,OOO of additionaI revenue.
 In discussing the revenue features of the bill, Senator Aldrieh insisted that as it will be amended by the senate, the Payne bill will provide sufficient funds to meet the expenses of government without resOrting to anything but i'm port taxes. He said that the articles the Federal government will purchase in large quanties in the foreign mar kets will be provided a lower duty. This is in accordance with a plan to reduce the running expenses of the gov ernment.
 Besides the dutiable and free lists, the only additional provision in the bill was the Philippine free trade pro vision.

Will Make a Complete Confession To
 Jury
LARGE REWARD WAS OFFERED
 FOR HIM
HE EXPECTS IMMUNITY FROM THE GRAND JURY. HIS CONFESSIONS LIKELY
 TO IMPLICATE
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 LOS ANGELES, April 12.-Nick Os- wald, the so-eallsd "Tenderioin King" !" much wanted as a witness by the grand jury, who disappeared from the city in March, fifteen days before the special grand jury was convened and for whom the district attorney of fered 5000 reward, suddenly returned to the city.
 He appeared at the district attor- ney's office this morning in company of Detective Blair. His return was voluntary. He refused to say where he had been but claimed ne was about 140 miles from Los Angeles in the mountains, forty miles from railroad.
 Two indictments against Oswald charging him with perjury have al ready been returned, but they proba- ply will not be pressed. The district attorney will probably give full i'm munIty to Oswald in return for a full confession of the details of the alleged graft in the red light district, over which so much sensation has been made resulting in the recall election and involving several city officials and others.
 Oswald was immediately taken to the grand jury room. Indictments are expected to be returned against num- Der of police officers and citizens.
 Oswald returned on Saturday night but kept the matter quiet until this morning.
 The estimony given by E. T. Earl, proprietor of the Los Angeles Ex press, before the special grand jury investigating the charges of protect ing vice, against former Mayor A. c. Harper and officials of his sdministra- tion were given out by presiding Judge James of the superior court to- night.
 This testimony embodies the state ments made by Nick Oswald and is most damaging against former Mayor Harper, former Chief of Police Edward Kern, and Thomas Broadhead, who re- signed today as chief of police. In the charges specific details were given of transactions in which these three officials are alleged to have received
 1c ,A ,,ko 1o n wald in return for protection of dens of vice which he maintained in the tenderloin.
 The statements of Oswald were se seured by Earl through private de tectives. Earl testified to have ex- pended over 5000 in obtaining these statements.
 The testimony was made public to- day because of the fact that it is to be filed as evidence tomorrow, in the trial of Oswald for perjury. It is be- lieved the testimony given by Oswald today before the Inquisitorisl body will corroborate Earl's statements. More indictments are expected tomor- TOW.
 Oswald was before the grand jury all day. In Earl's statement, besides the three officials mentioned, Samuel Schenck, a former police commissioner, was implicated as a go-between. He was accused of taking money from
