the divergent interests were brought
together In the caucus shortly before
midnight and almost unanimous
agreement was reached.
The final vote OF the approval OF
the Underwood bill was made unani-
nous. but the following members were
excused from pledge TO support the
caucus action; Representatives Ruck-
en-, Colorado; Ashbrook, Francis and
Sharp, Ohio, and Gray, Indiana.
The resolution agreed on In q con-
ference OF the free raw wool advo-
Gates, was introduced In the caucus
by Rep. Kitchin, OF North Carolina,
who had advocated free raw wool.
HIS resolution declared that the sup.
port OF a duty on raw wool should
not be construed as an abandonment
OF the Democratic policy of free wool.
The need for a duty, the resolution
stated, was due to Republican ex-
trayagances, which made necessary
large revenue. Speaker Clark took
the floor Immediately and supported
the resolution which had been framed
In the conference participated In by
himself and Representatives Burle-
son. of Texas, James, Of Kentucky;
Fitzgerald. OF New York and Kitchln
OF North Carolina. The resolution
was unanimously adopted by the eau
Gus.
Advocates of free raw wool. back
ed by the open support OF William
Jennings Bryan, offered amendments
putting wool on the free list, or por.
posing gradual reduction that would
abolish the entire duty In five years.
While direct reference 20 Mr.. Bryan

Underwood or others who spoke dur
Ing the day in favor OF the 20 per cent
duty, they replied to these free wool
demands by pointing out the abso-
lutte necessity for small duty on raw
wool.

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanvilIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury In Bride Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge K%imbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision of the
Supreme court Of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indie ,ment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

This statement was made by Post

The reports are most gratifying to
Mr.. Hitchcock, and to the other Off
GERS of the postal savings service.
They are regarded as demonstrating
that the new system already has
passed the experimental stage.
The certificate-of-deposit plan, an
innovation in the transaction of pos,

admirably adapted to its purpose. 1t
is found to be readily understood by
depositors, and easily handled by
postmasters.
The total deposits in the As exist
Ing banks for the month of January
will amount to $50, 900. This is an av-
erage of about 1900.
Assuming that this average will be
maintained throughout the year, the
aggregate of annual deposits will be
close to $750,OO0. This. too, will be

where the banks are now in opera.
