Report Carefully Studied By
President
RUM0RS OF DISAGREEMENT
Denied by chairman--Board Merely Of
fers Facts and Figures-Gossip as to
Findings Can Be Nothing But
Guesses.

Washington, Dec 2.-Henry G. Emery
chairman of the tariff board, made short
work yesterday morning OF the rumol
emanating from Democratic sources that
the board is divided three to two over
the question whether sheep raising
should be treated on mutton basis
thus implying the removal OF all duties
on raw wool, or as "A wool industry. Pro
fessor Emery stated at the White House
yesterday morning that the members
of the board were in no disagreement
over any subject and he added that it
was not the function OF the board TO
make recommendations as to tariff
changes. "0ur duty is to present facts
and figures" said Professor Emery, "and
there can be no disagreement over them.
The members of the tariff board were
in session with the president yesterday,
going over their report, and meeting Of
the cabinet was postponed until after
noon that this session might not be
interrupted. The members of the board
have been remarkably successful in hold.
ing as strictly confidential all the re-
suits of the Investigations made under
their direction. Stories pretending to in
dicate the nature of some particulars OF
their report may be expected until tho
report is presented to Congress some
time this month, but unless the system
of secrecy which the board has main
tanned with such success so far breaks
down, all such alleged conclusions may
be regarded as pure guesswork.
Even If the president or the tariff
board considered it the duty OF the board
to make recommendations as to tariff
changes, a question would arise as to the
character of revision desired. Instruc-
lions upon this point could come from
Congress, and Congress is in no position
to speak with an authoritative voice
upon this point. The House is Demo-
cratic, and with the Democratic minor
ity of the Senate, might be expected to
favor a revenue tariff, although there
might be a break in the ranks il it were
known that every mans vote would be
reflected in actual legislation. The Re-
publican minority of the Senate, under
Penrose favors high protection, while
the still smaller Republican under La
Toilette has no stated policy, except TO
reduce duties said to be "outrageously
high"
Under these circumstances Congress
could not, even if it would, vote for
any definite line of tariff recommends
ton, any more than it can pass tariff
bill framed in accordance with one pre-
determined policy. The most that can
be said in this connection is that the
tariff board undoubtedly feel themselves
equipped and able to make recommends
tions in accordance with any authorize
tive instructions that may be received.

FOR PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
Senator cummins Prepares to Introduce
Bill Early in Session.

Washington, Dec. 2.--Senator Cum
minis of Iowa announced yesterday that
he would introduce bill providing for
presidential primaries early in the com.
ing session. The bill would direct the
holding of primary elections in each
state, at which the electors of both par
ties could announce their preference FOR
presidential candidates The bill would
fix Aug. l of next year as the time for
the first primaries, and if 1t should pre-
vail nothing would be left to the ma
tional conventions except the framing
of platforms and arranging the maehin-
cry of the national committees. 1t would
provide for direct vote to the presi-
Dental candidates in each party and
also for electors. II think that the gem
eral situation would be much changed
if we could get a primary law" said
Senator Cummins, but he was not in
position to predict the outcome of his
efforts in that direction.

STOKES STILL AT HOME,
THE TRIAL GOES ON
Millionaire's Stenographeg Tells of Miss
Graham's Many Phone
Calls

New York, Dec although not Sc,
riously i'll, w. i. ID. Stokes was still
suffering yesterday morning with an at
tack OF acute Indigestion, which came
on Thursday, and it was said at his
apartments that he would not be able
to appear in court yesterday to re-
sumo the witness stand at the trial OF
Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, the
show girls who are charged with trying
to murder him.
Notwithstanding Mr. Stokes absence,
the case was called as usual yester-
day morning. Miss Marion Brophy,
Stokes private stenographer, took the
stand as the first witness. The COM
plainant's counsel said he would be able
10 resume his testimony on Monday.
Miss Brophy, who has been in Stokes
employ for seven years, said she first
got acquainted with Miss Graham In
the latter part Of 1906, and with Miss
Conrad on May 81, 1911 She told of
Miss Grahamis calling Stokes on the
telephone many times 10 the last four
years. She said that sometimes Miss
Graham gave her right name and at
other times gave other names. Miss
Brophy was shown the hat Stokes wore
when he was shot, and Attorney Buck
ner asked:

"No"
"And this coat--does this look like

only the old superstition of the divine
right of kings standing on its head. He
also decried what be declared to be the

was probably only temporary. The
