TO support the Underwood bill placing
duty of 20 percent ad valorem on
raw wool, prepared today to meet the
attacks on the proposed revision of the
schedule that are to come from the
republican minority. The democratic
plan was to introduce the wool bill to-
day and refer 1t to the ways and
means committee, by which 1t would
be reported favorably next week.
Representative Underwood who,
with Speaker Champ Clark, led the
fight for a revenue tariff on wool from
the beginning of the special session,
said:
The adoption of this bill and the
unanimity with which it was received
by the democrats, many of whom did
not favor it as a policy but who were
eventually brought to see its revenue
necessity, demonstrated again the ear
nestness and wisdom of the demo.

democratic caucus at midnight, twelve
hours after it had been made public
by the ways and means committee

democratic house leaders who devils

advocates.
Through resolution which leaves
the democratic party open in the flu
ture to renew it's advocacy of the free
trade in raw wool, but which commits
all democrats to the support of the
present bill as a revenue measure, the
divergent interests were brought to
gether in the caucus shortly before
midnight and almost unanimous agree
ment was reached.
The final vote on the proposal of the
Underwood bill Was made unanimous

Ellen Terry's Joke.

When Ellen Terry was presented
with a Founders gold medal at the
New theater, New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition of her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make speech OF
acceptance. 1t so happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short. So she told this story:
"a friend of mine once bought par.
rot and gave much money for 1t with
the understanding that it could speak
fiuently, but when he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
