With Senate and House Ma

Able to Pass the Bill Over

(National News Association)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Sen
ate and house conferees reached a
compromise agreement on the wool
bill, fixing the duty at twenty nine
per cent on raw wool with cores
ponding reduction on manufactured
goods This insures the bills adoption
but President Taft promises to veto
It.
The agreement on the wool bill was
reached at an open meeting, said to
have been the first of it's kind ever
held. The house classification was ad-
opted by the conferees. That the re-
port upon the measure would be sub
mitted in the house or the senate to-
day and agreed to by each body was
made certain by the facts that Chair
man Underwood and Senator La Fol-
lette had each consulted their follow
ers and learned that this compromise
would be put through.
In the house 1t was expected to COM
mand the support of practically all
and thirty insurgents. In the senate it
was stated to have the approval of all
the Democrats and insurgents and
perhaps two or three who are classed
as standpatters.

This assures substantial majority
IN each house, so that when the
measure goes to, the president he will
in vetoing 1t, as II IL expected he will
do, run counter to large majority in
both houses. There was general feel
ing when the conferees met that there
would be an agreement reached. At
the outset Mr.. Underwood offered to
accept 27h per cent and Senator La
Toilette came down from the PROPOSE
tion in his bill of 35 per cent to 80
per cent. ad valorem.
A long wrangle followed and finally
Senator Bailey suggested the differ
ence. Chairman Underwood advanced
the proposition that IL the senate
would accept his classification he
would agree to 20 per cent. ad valorem
on raw WOOL Sen. La Toilette met
these terms.
Thereupon the conferees agreed and
the bill was taken up paragraph b.
paragraph for adjustment of duties on
woolen manufactures to correspond
with the raise on raw wool. The bill

COMPANY FIGHTS
$4,000 VERDICT
Copper Company Alleges !
X, ,ew Nothing Of Engineers
Suit

In United States Court today Judge
Bradford heard argument on the petit
ton Of the Ely Central Copper Com
pany, which concern has a mine In
Ely, Nevada. on a suit for damages
for breech of contract brought by
William Bullock Clark, Of Baltimore.
The copper company is represented
by Salisbury, Ponder and Morris, and
Marvel and Marvel appear for the
plaintiff.
The counsel for the company con-
tended that the verdict was a surprise
to their clients. as they we're ignorant
Of the fact that the case had come 10
trial, resulting in a verdict OF $72,-
966.24 for the plaintiff. They had
understood that their local represent
ative, the concern being a Delaware
corporation, would make an appear
ance for the company.
Aside from the fact that the com
pany was ignorant of the entire mat
ter and therefore offered no defense
when the case came to trial, the
petitioning company set forth that the
verdict was greatly in excess OF the
amount Of work the plaintiff would
have done had he actually been em.
ployed by the company. the concern
having paid a noted engineer $25OC
for similar work.
The company filed an affidavit from
Oscar A. Turner, a former president
of the concern, whom il is said had
entered into contract with Mr.. Clark
in which he sets forth that no suci
agreement as the plaintff sets fortl
was entered into with him. and tina
he had merely talked over the matter
with Mr.. Clark and had afterwarC
ceased communicating with him.
The court gave no decision.
