TARIFF BOARD CASH CUT
Amount, Reduced to $500, 900,
Will Be Available for
One Year Only.

The Senate today adopted an amend
ment to the sundry civil bill offered by
Senator Culberson, cutting down the
House appropriation of 100000 to con-
tinue the work Of the temporary tariff
board to 100000. and making the amount
available only for the fiscal year 1912. AS
it came from the House the appropriation
was to continue available until 1913. Sena-
tor Culberson denounced this as usurpa-
ton of the functions of the Sixty-second
Congress.
Il agree with the senator that the ap-
should be for one year only
said Chairman Hale
An amendment making conditional ap-
for the permanent tariff
board in the event of its establishment by
law was offered by Senator Cummins and
adopted.
Senator Culberson offered an amend
ment directing the tariff board to report

WINNIPEG, Man, March 3.-Dr ]. e.
Jones, United States consul general who
was injured in an elevator accident. is
making progress toward recovery. accord
ing to a statement by his physician to-
day. The physician said:
His head is bothering him a good deal.
The injuries are as reported Wednesday.
We have no means of estfma ting the Sc
verify of the Conclusion except by the
condition of his head. and this, as !
said. is giving him considerable trouble"
Asked as to the possibility of very
serious results. the doctor replied that 1t
was hoped that DR.. Jones would be all
right within few weeks.
Inquiries as 20 the condition of Or.
Jones were made all day yesterday, and
in a measure testified to the extreme
popularity Of the. chief officer Of the

Could Not Reach Agreement.

After the reading of the sundry civil
bill had proceeded about forty minutes
Mr.. Stone requested an agreement to con-
slider the Canadian reciprocity bill. Not
ing the clerks rapid reading of the sun
dry civil bill. the Missouri senator asked
the chairman of the committee on an
preparations how long time would be
required to complete its consideration,
and when Mr.. Hale replied that he hoped
TO do so by noon, Mr.. Stone said:
ask unanimous consent that az that
time a vote he taken on the bill known
as the Canadian reciprocity bill"
Obi OH ha, ha,' responded Mr. Hale
apparently amused.
Sleepy as were all of the senators. most
Of them smiled audibly over the sugges-
ton Mr.. Hale did not recover from his
surprise in time to make formal obiec-
ton until after Senator Gronna of North
Dakota, rising on the extreme right had
performed that Formally
Then said Mr.. Stone the captain IF
the filbustering band. Il give notice that
shall move the consideration of the
reciprocity bill"
And shall move that we take I'D the
naval biI, said Senator Perkins, in
charge of that measure.
When the sundry civil bill had been
disposed OF the naval approximation bill
carrying about s125.0OO.Oo. Immediately
vas called up. Pending its consideration
the Senate agreed that IL an adjournment
Is taken ton ght it will be to meet at s
am tomorrow
AZ 1:i5 p.n. the Senate passed the ma
al appropriation bill and resumed con-
sideration of the post office bill
With this latter measure out of the
ay only the general deficiency bill will
enain TO be acted upon.
Mr.. stones change of purpose Is re-
Parded as aiding materially in clearing
the way for appropriation bills. Senat r
PenrOse had said that so soon as the
motion TO take up the reciprocity measure
should be offered he would move to lay
ON the table No one doubted tina when
made such a motion would prevail but
there was much apprehension that this
course would cause feeling AMI result in
a renewal of the filbuster, which all be-
lieve would be fatal to some of the supply
bills
The confidence in the passage OF the
appropriation bills did not extend to the
reciprocity bill. Even the best friends
Of that measure conceded that its posi-
ton was hopeless. The decision of Mr.
Stone not TO enter his motion for con-
sideration removed all possibility of a
vote in the Senate in connection with the
bill. Most senators agreed that in view
OF the Presidents previous declarations
an extra session was inevitable. AS late
as 3 O'Clock this morning he sent word
10 the Senate by a confidential messenger
that unless the bill should be passed he
would take steps for a special session
very soon after the adjournment of the
Sixty-hrst Congress.
