raw WOOL RATE
IS AGREED UPON
Conferees Compromise on z9
Per Cent AdvalOrem.
DEADLOCK NEARING END

kNpSCtCo SoTUptetc ouI VIII DC
Ready for Submission to the Presi-
dent Some Time Next Week.
Washington, Aug. 12.-The full
house and senate conference commit
tee on the tariff wool revision agreed
on a fiat rate of 20 per cent on raw
WOOL The committee also agreed on
the house classification of wool.
The agreement on these two points
seemed to remove the greatest OBJ
stacles In the way of final agreement.
A. agreed upon the classification pro-
vision of the bill reads:
"On wool of the sheep, hair OF the
camel, goat, alpaca and other like ami
mails and all woods and hair on the
skin OF such animals the duty shall be
10 per cent ad valorem."
The La Toilette bill called for two
classes of wool-wool and hair on the
skin being In second class, whereas
the house provision accepted by the
conference provides for but one class
for all wools
Under the compromise the second
senate class of wools, refixed in the
senate bill at 10 per cent, 10 thus in
creased to 29 per cent. These are the
coarse or carpet woods. The senate
rate on first class woods was 35 per
cent and the house rate 20 per cent
Much time was spent in compromis-
ing the difference. In the beginning
Of the conference Mr.. La Toilette
urged 80 per cent on ordinary raw
wool and Mr.. Underwood asserted
that he could not exceed the instruc-
tions of the ways and means commit
tee not to consent to a higher duty
than 27k per cent. There was much
wrangling over the classification. Ul-
timately Mr.. Bailey suggested com-
promise of 2S% per cent.
Compromise Accepted.
Immediately Mr.. Underwood said the
classification should prevail. Mr.. La
Toilette assented and it was agreed to-.
In the absence of Senator Penrose.
Senator Cullom presided over the con-
ference and for the first time in his
tory the conference was, on motion OF
Senator Bailey, opened to the press.
Continuing its work, the conference
fixed the rate on wool wastes and
shoddies at 20 per cent, to CORE
spond with the rate on regular wastes.
This was an increase over the house
rate, which was 20 per cent.
1t was also practical increase over
the senate rates, which ranged from
IS to 80 per cent, but the change was
made to meet suggestion Of Mr.. Un-
dsrwood that rate lower than that
fixed on wool itself would result in
flooding the country with wastes.
Confidence was expressed that a
complete agreement would be reached
on both the wool bill and the free list
in a day or two, thus insuring action
early next week.
President Taft has indicated that he
would veto any bill growing out Of
the conference.

WOOL DUTY FOR REVENUE.
This Was What Caused Change of the
Democrats.

Washington, May 20 I'm explaining
that although from the beginning one OF
the most enthusiastic leaders IN the
fight for free raw wool, it was his vote
that finally won the victory In the
ways and means committee Tor duty
on wool. Representative Peters Of
Massachusetts said yesterday that the
considerations Of revenue and OF party
unity had effected the change IN ms
vote "Of course" said Mr. Peters,
there are many circumstances connected
with our committee meetings which IN
auenced me but which | am not at lib
ettv to disclose Generally speaking,
however. there are two broad and vital
reasons why | now advocate duty on
raw wool. The matter OF revenue IS
perhaps the most important In iaet'
Il I could have foreseen any posslbility
whatever Of making up TO the treasury
the twenty or more millions that would
~ lost by free wool, | would still be
advocating raw WOOL on the free trade
basis But IL seemed to me a little
foolhardy to ieopardize the finances OF
the nation at present by insistenee on
principle that / am sure we shall gam
IN the near future without any danger.
The second and lesser consideration was
the matter of party harmony We are
a great country with many varied IN,
terests represented here and the best
and wisest thing that We can hope to
rain under such circumstances in order
to avoid complete chaos is thoughtful
and carefully worked out compromises

police came to his house and carried
him of TO Scutari There he was sub
mitted TO a long Interrogation as TO
the club and the game of football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found great plot and that
the club must be a secret society. a
sneclal messenger was sent Tor the
bail. and that was duly examined ana
found to be an Internal machine. The
rules of the game were considered 10

was sent to the higher police authori-

ONLORIMER INVESTIGATION
Prospect Is That Senate Will Adopt the
Resolution for Investigation of
Charges by Committee on
Privileges and Elections.

Washington, May 26.-After four
hours caucus yesterday the Democratic
senators voted "a to to support the
resolution offered by Senator Martin of
Virginia on behalf Of tho Democratic
steering committee providing for a re-
investigation OF the bribery charges re-
latiye to the election OF Senator Lori
mer of Illinois.
A colloquoy between Senators Bail
ey of Texas and Martin of New Jer-
sew marked the caucus. The Martin
resolution proposes an inquiry by the
committee on privileges and elections.
The encounter between Messrs. Bail.
.ev and Martin originated in Mr.. Bail
ey,s demand for general support OF the
Martin resolution. Mr.. Bailey insisted
ts,at any senator who refused to be
bound BY the caucus had no rightiui
place in the party councils. This aroused
the senators who favor the Lafoliette
resolution providing for an inquiry by
4 sneeial committee Of new senator's
Mr.. Martin replied that while he was
willing 10 compare his party record with
that Of the Texas senator he was UNI
willing to be bound by a party caucus
ON a moral question. He said he under.
stood the meeting was conference and
NOT a caucus and he had no understand
inc that any binding action had been
taken. The clash continued until Mr..
Martin withdrew from the caucus, re.
iterating that he would not be bound
by it on any except political ques-
ton.
Almost every other Democratic sen-
ator present participated in the debate.
It developed that the regular Republi-
cans had practically agreed to abandon
the Dillingham; resolution in favor OF the
Martin measure and all Democrats were
urged to support the proyisionss mat
ter of party discipline, The caucus sup
ported the Martin resolution with the
understanding that any senator should
be free to offer and support amend
ments.

question would come up IN the open
Senate yesterday, but il was crowded
out bv other questions. Senator LaFol-
lette expects to conclude his speech to.

will be taken.
The prospect now is that the Martin

BEAUTY IN
UGL,INESS

Professor Binder was farmer boy
made into an archaeologist. He worked
his way through college, sometimes
teaching the little country boys ana
girls near the university where ne
studied, sometimes following the plow,
but oftener doing odd jobs which
would not interfere with his university
courses. He was red headed, freckled
and otherwise unattractiye In personal
appearance, except for the intellect
that looked out through his eyes. When
he smiled he resembled a pumpkin
with candle in it, such as boys use
10 celebrate Allhallow eve.
Professor Binder while in college
was principally interested in buried
things, and the longer they had been
under ground the better he liked them.
He read 80 many books about buried
cities that after his graduation he was
chosen to 20 abroad with party OF
archaeologlsts to discover the site OF
lost Greek cities mentioned by his
torians. He told the party where
many of these cities were, and they
found them. When he returned he
was made professor of archaeology in
womans college. The girls declared
that he had been appointed because
none of them would be tempted to
run away with him.
One day after recitation Eva Lam
bert. whose talents ran rather to mis-
chief than books, went up to the pro-
fessor's lecture table after the lecture,
ostensibly to ask question, but really
to poke fun at him.

"That's the story" replied the pro

that they were old quarries and the
Christians found them ready for their
purpose, though they greatly extended
them. There's too much glamour about
archaeological stories Nevertheless
the catacombs are interesting, even ii
they were originally quarries. 1t is the
pleasure we take in deciphering In
scrlptions and such matters pertaining
TO the dead placed there centuries
ago that interests us, as well as the
skeletons of the dead themselves. The
catacombs to me are more fascinating
