cusations hurled at him by Charles L.

quilted on grounds Of self-defense, but

you with Couden.''
Mrs. McDermott swore that she visited
Mrs. Ford at the hospital last Friday

COALITION IN SENATE
TO REVISE THE TARIFF
Democrats and Progressive
Republicans Trying to
Agree on a Program.

A coalition between a number of the
republican progressives and the demo-
Gratis in the Senate, looking to the re-
vision of a number Of the tariff schedules
at the present session of Congress. is in
the process of arrangement. and IL it is
completed bills for the reduction of tariffs
on wool, cotton, iron and steel may be
enacted into law. Senator La Toilette
is taking an active part in negotiations
for. the harmonious action OF the pro-
gressive republicans and the democrats.
1t is suggested that even the farmers
free list bill, which has been passed by
a democratic House. may receive ia
vora BILE consideration, provided the demo-
Gratis agree 10 number of amendments
to the measure.
Welcome Insu,gent Aid.
The democrats ii Is said are disposed
to abandon the attitude that if the demo-
cratic tariff revision bills were defeated
in the upper house they would be salts
fed TO tell the country that failure was
due to the republican Senate. They are
showing an inclination to welcome re-
publican insurgent aid to get through as
great revision as possible.
At present there are forty-one demo-
Gratis in the Senate and thirteen pro-
gressive republicans. A majority Of the
Senate is forty-six: therefore 1t requires
only five of the progressive republicans
Senate. Two of the democratic senator's.
however, are regarded as uncertain on
tariff legislation, and also on coalition
with the insurgent republicans, and seven
of the republican progressives may be
needed to give the coalition the control.
