HOUSE JAMS WOOL BILL
Passes Conference Measure, De-
spite Many PreCedents.
REPUBLICANS FIGHT VAIN
Duty of 20 Per Cent on Raw Ma.
terial Provided by Senate
Substitute.
From The Tribune Burssu1

Washington. Aug. 14-After Republican
speakers had roundly denounced IL a. being
nothing more or less than new bill
agreed upon by Senator La Toilette and
Representative Underwood the so-calred
conference report on the wool bill was ap-
proved by the House to-day by q vote Of
2o6 TO %. Thrty-one Republican insurgents.
including Representative Akin, Of New
YORK, who styles himself independent Re
publican voted with the Democrats on
the adoption II the conference report.
The vote was preceded by a preliminary
discussion of three hours, based on Repre-
sentative Mann's point of order against
the conference report. Mr.. Mann asserted
that the conferrees had exceeded their au-
thority, that they had virtually brought a
new measure out of conference, and that
some of the rates agreed on I'm conference
were higher than those carried originally
I'm either the Senate or House bill
Representative Hill also took a thrust a,
the conferrees. He pointed out that tho
Senate and House bills had each named
January as the date upon which the new
schedule should go into effect The con-
ferrees substituted October !.
This is legislating by conference" said
Mr.. Hi. "and II such precedents as this
are TO be established. We might as well
turn all legislation over 10 the men who
may be named as conferrees"
Speaker Clark overruled the point IF
order, but said that he sympathlzed with
the argument OF the minority to the effect
that the Senate had no right to discard a
House revenue measure i'm its entirety and
10 substitute another measure, as Senator
La Toilette and his colleague, Mr.. Under
wood had done in this instance
'1f we get House that would stay here
about two years" said the Speaker. II
the Senate TO virtually initiate tariff Iegis-
laton in this way"
We'll stay for the showdown any time"
said Mr.. Mann.
In overruling Mr.. Mann's point Of order
the Speaker cited precedents 10 show that
when an entirely new bill is substituted by
the Senate the conferrees have much lati-
tude as to rates and classifcstions. and for
this reason he ordered the bill taken up
The vote then followed
Republican Representatives who voted
for the wool bill conference report were:
Akin, New York 0nd. Rep): Iindbergh,
Nye, Volstead, Davis. Anderson Miller and
Stevenson, Minnesota. Esch, Kopp, Len
root, Morse Davidson and Nelson, WiscUn-
sim Hanna and Helgesen. North Dakota;
Hubbard. Haugen and Woods. Iowa, Jack
son. Rees, Murdoch. Madison and Young,
Kansas; Kent and stephen. California.
Kinkaid, Morris and Soan,-Nebraska; La
Toilette and Warburton, Washington.
The conference bill carries a fiat duty Of
% per cent on raw woods and correspond
ing reduced rates OF wool manufactures.
Mr.. Underwood the Democratic leader.
said the bill as agreed on would save the
American people AZ per cent Of the tax
they now pay on manufactures Of wool. He
explained that this was not exactly what
the Democratic conferrees wanted,

CARTER ASKS vINDICATION
Former Army Captain, Convicted in
Savannah Scandal, Makes Appeal.

Washington, Aug. n-Oberlln NJ. Carter,
formerly an army captain. appeared before
the House Committee on Expenditures in
the Department Of Justice to-day and
asked that a full investigation OF the
Savannah harbor scandal he made. He
denied any part in the alleged Greene and
Gaynor frauds, and said his hope was TO
give the public the truth.
Richard A. Wyman, of Chicago, the spe-
cial master IN the case, Carter said, told
him recently that the conduct of the case
was terrible travesty on Justice" Wey-
man probably will be summoned as wit
ness.
Carter served q prison term and was re-
uuired to forfeit several hundred thousand
dollars to the government for his alleged
connection with the harbor scandal.

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

earnestly sought from Congress more per
feet laws he willingly put in jeopardy the
public interest when he excluded certain
waterfronts from the forest reserves. And
certain 1t is that there are few. II any
states I'm which the existing laws con-
trolling water frontage go far conserve the
public interest as in Alaska.
AN UNJUST 1MPLICATION.-In a
former editorial on the subject of Con-
troller Bay. Colonel Roosevelt used these
words: 1T was the imperative duty Of the
government service to keep this outlet free
and not TO dispose Of It 10 any individual
or individuals" Again. to the uninitiated.
that would seem TO imply that President
Taft had been derelict In his duty. There
are, Of course many who wholly agree
with Mr.. Roosevelt's view that 1t would
be wiser for the government to retain title
In perpetuity to all the water frontage and
to all the coal lands and even TO build
the necessary railroads. but IT is unjust to
President Taft TO charge him with dere-
LECTION OF duty because he did not take
so advanced a view and merely pursued
the course authorized by law, for which
there Is every precedent and which he be-
heved abundantly to conserve the public
interests. Those who believe the govern
ment should not ALLEVIATE title to any water
frontage must regret that individuals or
corporations were ever permitted to ac-
quire title to land on either Controller
Bay or Valdez Arm. or that the Guggen-
helm railroad was permitted to acquire n
terminal at Eyak, on Cordova Bay, but IL
would be as unjust to charge the Roosevelt
administration with derellcton OF duty be-
cause these latter things were permitted
as 1t is to make a like charge against the
Taft administration in connection with
Controller Bay.
A BECLOUDED ISSUE.-Those who will
examine carefully the conservation policy
must be fully persuaded OF its great merit
Equally those who will read aNentvely
president Tafts utterances on this subject,
his able address at the St. Paul congress-
his message 70 Congress and his reply 10
the Controller Bay resolution cannot fail
to realize how sincere and able an advocate
OF this policy he IS Unfortunately. how
ever the whole subject has been so over
shadowed by personalities and chickering's
that 1t requires more time and effort than
the ordinary citizen will devote to separate
the wheat from the char. No good cause
was ever helped by the forgery of Dick
to Dick postscrlpts, the seduction Of con-
hdentlal stenographers and the misrepre-
sentation of the motives of high-minded
public officials. Innumerable potential sup
porters have been Disguised and alienated
from the cause of conservation by these
methods, pursued by those who, least OF
ALL should do anything to becloud the real
issue. 1t was TO hold up TO ridicue such
methods, which are no part OF conser-
walton policy, that the dispatch which
Colonel Roosevelt has SO greatly mis-
understood was written.

EoR the young girl trying to select
a new evening gown here are two
helpful suggestions. for frocks showing
good taste and simplicity and which
could be made up very inexpensively.
For the gown illustrated on the left
dotted silk muslin was used in a SHIN
mering sea-green With the undersleeves,
collar and girdle of flet lace. The dress
closes in the back, and has a tucked
waist with high neck, perforated for
slightly low round outline, with which
round collar could be worn. The
sleeve in one-piece is full-length, perfor-
ated for three-quarter length, and can
be made with or without the pun or
oversleeve.
The foundation skirt is in seven cores,
heightened by straight gathered
fiounce, and with or without the three
piece, gathered tunic, that may be held
in by gathers at fiounce depth at the
sides and back.
This is Ladies Home Journal pattern
No. 5796, and is cut in sizes 16, H. Is
and 20 years. White crash chiffon would
make up prettily and inexpensively
after this model made over blue Jap

Most Agreeable Companions.
Robert Louis Stevenson put being a
good gossip at the head of the desir-

for in picking out wife; and he wasn't
amiss in doing so.
There. are no women such agreeable

who, during the day, accumulate an in

they vivaciously retail over the dinner
table.
