,ld, has been sentenced to the house OF
correction for ten months because he
kissed a widow who is 20 years of age.

CONFERENCES RESULT IN
PLAN TO CHANGE WOOL

Washington D. c., July 26.-As the
result of a series of conferences held
yesterday the prediction was freely
made in the senate that the upper
house of congress Thursday will adopt
the house wool bill. This will put the
wool issue squarely up to President
Taft. Democratic Leader Underwood
yesterday served notice that the house
would not accept the La Toilette bill.
While President Taft in a speech
denounced shedule X on wool and
woolens, of the Payne-Aldrich law, as
'indefensible," he also has indicated
that he would prefer to have re-
vision of the schedule await the re-
port of the tariff board, promised in
December. The president has not de-
finitely indicated, however, that he will
use the veto power.
The positive statement was made
this afternoon by senators processing
to know that at least five "insurgent
republicans and one regular" repub
lican would take the house measure
if they could not get the La Toilette
bill. This would insure a majority
J for that measure The republican
leaders also received this information
and several of them expressed the
opinion that the house wool bill would
pass the senate.
Senator Poindexter predicted tina
the house bill would in the end be ac
cepted He said he would vote for tbs
La Toilette measure as a substitute
but in case of its failure he would cas-
his ballot for the house bill He saiC
that Senators Clapp, Brown and Others
felt as he did.
