DEMOCRATIC
PLANS UPSET
Deadlock on Wool Schedule.
Free Wool Stumbling Block
Copyright, 1917

Washington, d. c., May II, l9ll.--
Plans OF the Democratic leaders OF the
house have been temporarily upset by
the Democratic deadlock on free raw
wool in the ways and means committee.
That is why the debate on the free-list
bill is being allowed 10 drag on with
only a cOrpOral's guard OF members In
their seats. The leaders can end the
debate and pass the bill whenever they
wish to. They had planned to do SO
this week, and to follow 1t with n bill
revising the woOlen schedule of the
tariff. Right there is where the hitch
came in. Owing to the inability of the
Democrats on the ways and means com
mittee 10 agree there las been unex-
pected delay in preparing the woOlen
bill, and IL may last until party eau
Gus passes on the raw wool question.
An overwhelming msjorlty-three-
fourths, 1t is said-of the Democrats on
The ways and means committee favor
free raw wool, but the minority, who
are backed by Chairman Underwood
and Speaker Clark, will not have it.,
nor will they accept proposed com-
promise to cut the duty on raw wool
from Ii TO 6 cents a pound, with pro-
vision for an annual reduction OF cent
pound until 1t comes in free. OF
course the majority could easily jam
free wool through the committee, but
steam roller methods, while they may
work all right on the opposing party,
are rather dangerous in your own
party, as shown by what came of the
too free use of them on the insurgents
by regular Republicans In the last con.
gress. Besides, 1t Is not certain that
such action would be indorsed by q
majority OF the Democratic caucus.

AFFAIRS AT VAS HIN GTON
Taft Pleads for Peace. The President Speaks
at Conference

At the big conference held to urge
universal peace of the world. the great
war clouds that hover over parts of this
terrestrial globe of ours were all pushed
aside, and President Taft, Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain, Ambassador
Uchida of Japan, Senator La Fontaine
of Belgium, and Sir Charles Fitzpatrick,
Chief Justice of Canada, were among
the principal speakers and each prophe-
Sled that all national disputes would IN
future be settled by arbitration instead
Of the force of arms. The proposed in
ternatonal treaty between Great Britain
and the United States vas cited as "a
magnificent step toward international
peace. and the remarks of Baron Uchida
who declared that "the talk of ultimate
war between Japan and the United
States was all myth, - were among the
indications that the frame of mind of
representatives Of the great nations, was
all in The direction of peace.

Annexation ROsh Taft at New York Ban.
quet
President Taft took little run over
TO New York during the week and spoke
at banquet given by the Publishers
Association. In the course OF his re-
marks he ridiculed the talk of annexing
Canada, saying that it was all ''bosh. -
In support OF his contention that rec-
procity with Canada must be secured at
this time, the President said: THE
forces which are at work in England
and in Canada to separate her, by a
Chinese WALL from the United States,
and to make her part of an Imperial
commercial band reaching from Eng
land around tf e world to England again,
by system of preferential tariffs, will
derive an impetus from the rejection of
the treaty, and if we would have reci-
procity-we must take it now or give it
up"

The hall was very tastefully decor

of the part they played in the first
days of the newly fledged order, and
partly because of the fact that the
day was also the anniversary of the
birth of the Father of his Country.

were admitted.
