PRESIDENTS VETO To SOON Re
PLACED On TARIFF REVISION
Complete Conferen:e On the Wool Bill
Has Been Reported to the House
for Its Final Action.

WASHINGTON, Aug, Tariff
revision legislation moved swiftly
onward in congress Saturday toward
the expected presidential veto.
The complete conference agree
ment on the wool bill was reported
to the house with view to final
action in that body through adop-
tion of the conference report today.
The free list bill discussed in
committee as a matter subsidiary
to the wool measure, was agreed
to, as were its two chief amend
ments, the house amendment adding
lemons to the free list and Kern
senate amendment limiting free
meat and cereal products to those
countries from which the United
States have reciprocal trade arrange
ments All its other amendments
We're completed This disagreement
will be reported to both houses to-
day with a view to another vote in
the senate on the Kern amendment
and in the house lemon amendment.
The cotton bill was discussed
without action in the senate.
Democratic leaders said Saturday
the adjournment of congress would
come within a week or ten days.
There was little argument in CON
ference over the free list amend
ments Chairman Underwood of the
house conference committee declar-
ed the house could net accept the
Kern amendments, which were in
jected into the bill after the orig
inal free list bill had been lost by
tie vote in the senate.
Senator Bailey said the senate
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1911-08-14

would not approve the lemon amend
ment, although he himself favored
it. On the motion of Mr. Under
wood the conference committee the
agreed to the senate amendments
putting binders, cement and all
kinds of boots and shoes on the
free list; and instructed that a
disagreement on the other amend
ments be reported to the house and
senate today.
The result will be to force an
other vote in the senate on the
Kern amendments and in the house
on the lemon amendment. Following
such action, the bill will probably
again go to conference and an
agreement on it is confidently pre-
dicted.
Over the objection of the repuh-
iicans, the house Saturday received
the conference report on the wool
tariff revision bill and ordered it
printed, preparatory to a vote to-
day Minority Leader Mann OBJ
iected to the house receiving the
report, making the point of order
that the house having asked for the
conference and the senate having
agreed to it, the senate must act mp
On the report Of the conferees first.
Speaker Clark overruled the point
and was sustained in that action by
a party vote of 162 to So
The vote was preceded by a long
technical debate, an which Demo
cratic Leader Underwood and Rep
resentatiye Henry of Texas and Fitz-
gerald of. New York defended the
action of the house conferees. Re

VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL.
Clarence elliott Not Guilty Of As.
sault With Dangerous Weapon.

Clarence elliott son Of Policeman Gil
lott, was acquitted late yesterday after
noon in the District Supreme Court on
the charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon. The complaining witness was
Frederick Vangrueder, who appeared in
court with his head tied up. his jaw
broken and with pieces of the bone which
had been taken from his jaw as exhibits
in the case
Vangrueder claimed that elliott per-
united chickens to destroy the VAN
grueder garden and that when he re-
monstrated elliott struck him with a
blackjack, splintering his jawbone. The
alleged assault occurred September 2S
last, and Vangrueder is still under the
care of a physician.
The defense of elliott was that VAN
grueder assaulted him and that he struck
but one blow with his fist, and used no
weapon.
Attorney Matthew z. O'Brien, in his
argument for the defense, declared that
it was a physical impossibility for the
injury to have occurred in the manner in
which the government witnesses claimed
1T did. 1t is the right jaw of Vangrueder
that is broken, he said, and the evidence
was that the men faced each other when
the blow was struck and that it was
struck with the right hand.
Mr.. O'Brien maintained that the jaw
must have been broken by striking the
pavement. as the evidence showed that
Vangrueder fell when hit.

Invited to Take Action.

IF there is any one who places any
credence in these charges it Is the duty
of that legislature to demand by resolu-
ton at the hands of this Senate All in

tinued. Il invite them to do so, and if
they pass the resolution asking for the
Investigation 1 will present 1t to the Sen
ate and urge favorable action upon it and

IF they dare accept the invitation the
investigation will show that the charges
are utterly false; that no single one OF
the eighty-seven votes cast for me was
improperly influenced. and will thereby
show that the SenatOr-elect conducted a
campaign of SANDER and falsehoOd upon
which he was elected. If that legislatu
so organized. so controlled and so domi-
mated. fails to demand this investiga ton
it will be a confession of guilt on the
part of the senator-elect that he will
fully and knowingly conducted a. CAM

is able to substantiate. and 1t will be so
understood by the people of Mississippi.
