Schedule X. The Republicans propose
"a work independent Of the Democratic
tarin thinkers. ana when Chairman
Underwood and his fellow Democrats
bring cut a wool bill the Republicans
expect to come right back at then, with
a minority substitute.
II has become the custom on Capitol
Hill for the majority of the Ways and
Means Committee to assemble In execu-
tive session and frame thrift icgisla-
ton. When the bill is all ready for
the printer. the minority members are

poets to formulate q Republican bill, so
that when the House takes UP re-
vision of the wool schedule II will have
offered II q bill from the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and a substitute from the Re-
publicans.
A meeting Of the minority members
Of the committee was called for today,
and they gathered at the Capitol to be-
gin preliminary work. The Democrats
also are getting busy, ana Il is thought
both bills will be ready for the House
before February 1. OF course, neither
faction Of the committee will make

Committee Experts
Are Set to Work on
Tariff Board Figures

Expert Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee will check over the entire report
Of the tariff board on the wool sched-
ule before the Democrats of the Ways
and Means Committee begin the draft OF
a bill to revise schedule X downward.
Chairman Underwood said today that
as soon as the tariff board data comes
from the Government Printing Office,
every item in the voluminous report
will be scrutinized in order to ascer-
tain II the figures OF the board agree
with those collected by the committee.
The Ways and Means Committee does
not profess to have SO great an array
Of statistics as that gathered by the
board. but It has not been Idle and the
committee has in its possession a great
mass Of documentary evidence regard
ing the production and manufacture Of
wool.
II the figures of the tariff board and
those Of the Ways and Means experts
agree, there will be no effort to dis
regard the report of the board. In
event there are discrepancies, tn Demo-
Gratis of the committee are apt to take
the advice Of their own experts rather
than the data Of the tariff board.
Chairman Underwood said today that
It probably will be a month before the
committee can really begin work on a
bill to revise schedule X, for the check

time.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
WOOL BILL TOFORCE
PROTECTION ISSUE
Measure Will Be Submitted
As Only One Which Can
Escape Taft Veto.

Tho Administration's program for
the revision Of the Schedule X became
known at the White House today.
This will provide for a protective
tariff on the industry and will be
based upon the findings of the Tarin
Board and upon the Presidents mes
sage.
:, In the first place; the Republican
Committee are preparing q bill giving
protection to wool after considering
the cost of production at home and
abroad.
This bill will be submitted first to
the President for his approval. After
that II will be proposed to the Demo-
Gratis on the committee as the only
measure which may escape Presi-
Should the Democrats accept the
Republican bill. the Administration
will lay claim to all the credit for
its passage. should they refuse to
own giving the industry less or no
protection at all, veto will prevent
any revision. whatever;
The plan Of the Republicans on the
Payne, is to force the protection issue
in the House. They contend that the
Republican party IL pledged to a
policy of protection and that the
termine what protection is necessary.
The President Is also pledged to the
same policy and cannot accept any
measure which does not give q rea-
sonable protection to the wool grow
ers and the wool manufacturer.
On the other hand the Democrats
are expected to fight not for a pro-
tective measure but for q revenue
measure. Should they find that q
revenue bill provides less duty than
would q protective bill, they will not
accept the Payne measure.
The Payne bill will be ready shortly
after the holidays, 1t Is learned, and
will be submitted to the President
then for his views. Should Mr. Taft
approve the measure. 1t will then
come up In the whole committee.
The Administration does not expect
Chairman Underwood and his ASSOC
ciates to recommend the Payne bill
to the House. II they reject 1t, as
now anticipated, q direct protection

TRICK SNAKES WRIGGLE
BACK TO MISSOURI HOME
Farmers Pets That He Took To Ar
kansas Thirteen Years Ago Emu
late ESbled Cat.

Keytesville, Mo.-This is a story of
snakes that came back.
Thirteen years ago the Millizer fam
lily lived on a farm on the Charleston
river. Among 1.-The possessions Of Mr.,
Millizer were two large bull snakes,
each about eight feet long, which he
had trained TO do tricks.
He became much attached to them
and when the family moved to Arkan-
sas Millizer insisted the snakes must
go along.
Three weeks ago the snakes return
ed and took up their abode in the hol-
low sycamore trmee that was their
home before their ramoval to Arkan-
sas.
The reptiles are still very tame
and readily made friends with sons
of The David brothers, who are now
on the farm
The youths made accurate measure
ments OF the snakes and found that
from eight-footors one had grown to
eleven feet and the other to ten feet,
nine inches. They are sleek and
well groomed" and give every indi-
cation OF having feasted bountfully.
Millizer has been informed of their
presence at their old home and it is
thought he will have them returned
to him in Arkansas.
