Passes Bill Without Amend
ment, 1856 to SO
DEMOCRATS AGAINST IT
Though Few Favored Measure and a
Few Republicans Against It--All
Amendments Voted
Down.

Washington, Jan. 3l.Late last night,
the House OF Representatives put
through bill for the permanent tariff
board recommended by President Taft.
1t was evident early that the bill
would pass, but final vote was delayed
by Democratic efforts to amend the
measure. All amendments were voted
down and the bill finally passed by a
vote of 1856 to 3d.
Although Champ Clark, the minority
leader, voted for the measure, 30 of his
followers were recorded against it. The
others who voted in the negative were
scattering Republicans.
The Democrats voted together on vari-
Gus amendments to the bill, but in each
instance they were defeated and the bill
was put through exactly as it came from
the committee. The insurgent Republi-
cans voted with the regulars in opposi-
tion to the Democratic amendments and
on the final passage of the bill.
Democrats who voted for the bill were;
Barnhart, Indiana; Bartlett, Nevada;
Booher and Borland, bissouri Brantiey,
Georgia Burleson, Texas; Byrnes, Ten
nessee; Cantrill, Kentucky, Clark, Mis-
souri,; Cox, Ohio; Dickinson, Missouri;
Gallagher Illinois; Goulden, New York;
Hammond, Minnesota; Hardy, Texas;
Hayens, New York; Howard, Georgia;
Humphreys, Mississippi; Keliher, Mas
sachusetts; Kinkead, New Jersey; Lloyd,
Missouri; Maynard, Virginia; Mitchell,
Massachusetts,; Morrison and Moss, In
diana Nichols, Pennsylvania; Padgett,
Tennessee; Underwood, Alabama; Wick
lisse, Louisiana.
The first amendment offered by the
Democrats came from Representative
James of Kentucky 1t provided for the
appointment OF three members OF the
board by the president and the election
of the two minority members OF the
board by the president and the election
of the minority members by the minority
party in Congress.
The amendment was lost on a yea and
nay vote, l2T to l42.
Mr. Barnhart of Indiana offered an
amendment allowing the president to APP
point one member, the presiding officer
of the Senate two and the speaker two.
1t was lost 1870 to l49.
Representative Cox OF Indiana sought
TO have the appointees on the board
made subject to confirmation by the
Senate. This was also lost.
The Democrats then sought to limit
the expenditures OF the board first to
S250,000 a year and then to 100000 a
year. Both propositions were lost.

Shake-up in New York Force limited
as Result Of Revelations in
Opium Raid.

New York. Jan. 3l-In the discovery
Of documentary evidence that may solve
the mystery of the murder OF Elsie sigel
in 1909, through the recent government
raids on opium dealers, rumors are cur
rent OF impending shake-up in the New
York police department
These rumors are based on the al
legged discovery OF correspondence and
written Chinese records containing names
of police officials who were bribed, or
regarded as susceptible to bribes,' by
the leaders of the Chinese criminal band.
While IL was admitted that the gov
eminent had obtained possession Of this
important documentary evidence, officials
here were very careful in their state
ments Sunday night A few refused alb
solntelv to talk But IL was learned
positively that several very important
documents were stolen during or imme-
diately subsequent to the most impor-
tant opium resort raid last Wednesday
night
Although the raids which were direct
ed during the week By surveyor Nelson
r. Henry were only intended to break
up band of opium smuggleTs, which
has been operating from New York City,
the results as above announced in
cluded protectors Of murderers, If not the
actual slayers themselves.
Surveyor Henry said
'My work Is to run down the opium
smugglers. But we have discovered some
letters pertaining to the Sigel case, and
/ there does exist a list of pOlieemen's

Wind in Philadelphia.

down upon crowd of shoppers in busy
Market street yesterday, when a big
heavy sheet metal sign blown from a
high roof fell among them and killed
two men and girl A half-dozen other
persons were injured, several so severely
that they were taken to hospital. The
sign was about twenty feet wide and
ten feet high, and stood on the roof
Of four.story building. The street was
crowded, il being the noon hour. With
out warning, the sign, which was old,
was wrenched from its fastening by q
high wind and fell to the sidewalk. The
greater portion OF the heavy sign landed
in the middle of the street, and had It
not been for this the loss Of life prob
ably would have been greater Those
caught under the metal wreckage were

Chicago, Jan. 3l.-Efforts to conserve

impoyerishment, and now the states OF
Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Mich
igan will unite in the efforts in q com.
mon cause. Dr. Cyril w. Hopkins, dean
Of the state agricultural school, warned
the bankers when in convention that
something must be done soon in soil res
toration. Not only is that to be done,
but the committee, of which W. q. Edens
OF Chicago is secretary, also has rec
commended efforts to inspire the children
of farmers with a new respect, interest
and love for farm work The commit

just before court adjourned last week,
the original contest between the COM

close by the court asrertaining that the
latter was no longer boyeotting the for

essary to determine whether the courts
of the Ditrict OF Columbia were right

brought the contempt proceedings for
an alleged violation Of the injunction,
nhe manufacturers were not permitted
to drop it.
Though peace had come 10 the prin'
cipals there was no evidence that OPP

arguing the contempt" case. They took
the position that in order TO decide the
contempt ease, it was necessary for the
court to decide whether the boycott"

point which was raised separately IN

Friday from the consideration OF the
