Underwood and La Toilette
Have Not Reached Agree
ment on Wool Bill, but
Are Getting Together.
MUCH ACTIVITY is
BEING DISPLAYED
According to Democratic
Leader, Agreement or
Disagreement Will Be
Reached Today.
TaTAsHINGToN, Aug, e.-There

"a ASHINGTON, Aug, 9.-There
NM was much activity today in the
Wv interest Of an agreement be-
tween the two houses of con
gress on the differences on the wool
bill resulting in sn understanding that
Messrs, LaFollctte and Underwood, con-
stituting the subcommittee of the full
conference committee, would make an
early effort to reach an adjustment.
The close Of the day found the two
legislators still apart on essential de-
tails, but nearer than before.
When they were in conference on
Tuesday, Senator LaFollette gave Mr..
Underwood 10 understand that he could
not possibly get his followers to agree
to a ratio Of less than 30 per cent on
raw wool, while Mr.. Underwood told
him that it would be necessary to come
TO % per cent, il not to 25, to insure
che acceptance of the conference report
by the house.
Situation in Senate.
The senate representative undertook
TO make a canvass, but with little hope
of success. He had been assured of
the support of only eight of the In
surgent Republicans OF the senate for
30 per cent. He could afford to lose
only two votes and his investigation
was not reassuring.
Mr.. Underwood was more confident
than his fellow conferee, leading TO the
conclusion that he might go farther
than he yet had manifested a willing
ness to do His optimism was due TO
change in the condition in the house,
The Democrats Of the house have been
thoroughly canvassed in the lnst two
days, TO determine whether they would
support an increase of the rates in the
Underwood bill, in order to effect a
COMPROMISE with the insurgent Demo
cratic strength Of the senate.
Position of House.
II was asserted today by prominent
Democrats that Mr., Underwood has
found an unexpected strength in favor
of meeting the LaFollette forces on
the best possible compromise basis,
preferably something below 30 per cent
on raw wool Mr.. Underwood said to-
day that he expected the wool situation
would solve itself tomorrow, when the
full committee probably would meet,
I'VE will either agree or definitely
disagree tomorrow. was his assertion
He added that if an agreement was
reached. two or three davs might be
necessary to put the conference agree
ment into the form of bill TO be pre-
sented TO the two houses.

Bond Conversion.

Mr.. Beall questioned Mr.. Perkins con-
cerning the bond conversion plan where
by 5000, 100000 of preferred stock was
converted into $250,0o0,oo0 Of second
mortgage per cent bonds, The witness
produced n statement he had prepared
on the subject. He explained that mon
ey was needed, shortly after organiza-
ton Of the corporation, to carry on i'm"
provements Of the subsidiary companies
and that it was impossible to use money
out Of the surplus for this purpose.
Mr.. Perkins, in his statement, said:
cit was finally found impossible ia
secure pledge of the entire 100000
900 of preferred stock, but that the best
that could be done was to organize a
syndicate that would agree to the fol
lowing, viz;
"First, purchase and lodge with J
P. Morgan and company sS0.000,000 oi
preferred stock.
"Second, agree to exchange all o.
this, or any 40 per cent Of it, at thc
option of the steel corporation, for sec
ond mortgage bonds.
Third. take second mortgage bond
from the steel corporation at par in ex
change for S20,000,000 in cash.

Dubuque suffered another large
fire Sunday wiping out practically a
solid block in the factory district,

property. Like the other large fires
which Dubuque has recently suffer.

incendiary origin. The two recent
fires Of the Standard Lumber Com.
pany were doubtless the work OF a
fire fiend and a suspect was placed
under arrest at that time. He was
later released because the police did
not have enough evidence to connect
him with the crime but they were

A number of good roads enthusiasts
have started a movement to improve
1 main road between Manchester and

largely done by volunteers along the
highway to be thus improved, with the
lid of the automobile clubs Of the
two cities. It is proposed to put up
signs along the road to run past the
WOODEN mills north of this city, and
.ha farms off Will Jones, H. D. Wag-
Ter, Thomas Andrews, Conrad Wen

John Billhorn, Henry Heyer, John and

past the August Rosso place. The
men living on the highway will be
asked to contribute one or two days

method that the road can be put in

INVESTIGATING PAVING.

Mayor M. +. LIE Roy and Council
II. Cleveland and d. F. Hennessesy
vent to Dubuque this morning for
| he purpose of examining various
kinds of street paving there. The
council have the Franklin street prob
lem before them and will make some
decision in the matter at the meet
ing on Monday evening of next week.
That some sort of permanent pay
ing will be ordered in. is a foregone
conclusion. The condition of the
Travelled portion of Franklin street is
worse than any other in the city
and the large amount of daily travel
and the heavy loads which constant
ly pass over it demand that this
thoroughfare be put in good condi-
ton The sentiment of the council
has been from the first strongly in
favor of brick paving. In fact, the
resolution of necessity which was
passed calls for brick. There has de-
veloped, however, a strong sentiment
among the property owners favoring
a less expensive paving, such as
crushed rock with concrete founda-
ton. The councilmen expect to go
to Charles City, we understand, to,
morrow to inspect the cement paw
ing there.
The conncilmen are accompani
to Dubuque today by property own
ers from Union and Main streets.
who are DESTROYS of posting up on
the various kinds of paving. 1t is
rumored that these streets will be
paved in the near future where the
curbs and cutters are about to be con
structed.
