WORK ON TARIFF
REVISION BEGUN
Plans Formulated for Change in
Schedules at Extra Session
to Be Called.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16--Clerks of
the House ways and means commit
tee are already at work upon the
tariff revision bills for the special
session Of Congress. which President
elect Wilson has stated he will sum-
mon to meet next April. Democratic
leaders have been confident for some
time that the incoming administra-
ton would force the tariff issue to
an immediate trial. and much of the
detail of the work of preparing the
bills is under way.
While President-elect Wilson is
resting at Bermuda during the. next
few weeks. the Democrats of the two
houses of Congress win endeavor to
settle the general program to be fol-
lowed at the extra session. 1t has
not been determined as yet whether
one general bill will be introduced.
embracing the wool, cotton, iron and
steel revisions which the Democratic
House has previously passed, or
whether each of these tariff schedules
will again be brought in in the form
of q separate bill.
Little time viii be necessary, it is
believed. to perfect wool, cotton,
metal and chemical revision bills, be-
cause Of the work done by the Demo
cratic ways and means committee in
preparing similar bills passed in the
last two sessions, which have been
vetoed by President Taft. The Demo-
cratic leaders are not agreed. how
ever, over the sugar tariff. and this
situation is puzzling to the managers
of the party in both houses. The
House free sugar bill. passed at the
last session, did not meet the ap-
proval OF the Democrats in the Sem
ate, and it still rests in a conference
COMMITTEES OF the two houses.
Suggestions have been made by in
fuential members of the Senate
within the last week that a Joint COM
mittee, representing House and SEN
ate Democrats. be informally selected
before the special session begins, to
go over the tariff situation and har-
monize whatever differences may
exist between the Democrats of the
two bodies upon the more important
tariff schedules Such action would
result in speedy disposition of tariff
revision when the new Congress
meets in April.

ten years he worked as shipping
clerk in one of the local department
stores. He was ordered to give up
his position by his doctor about six
months ago.
Idleness increased his depression.
and he decided to 60 back TO work
He applied for his old position on
Monday and was turned away. The
baker that served his family had
frequently promised him a job. but
the promises did not materialize. All
this preyed on his mind until he
feared he would go insane. but he
told his family that he would kill
himself before that happened.
His son George, who shared his
room. heard him stirring at 2 o'clock
this morning and asked him what
was the matter
Are you coid?" Mr. Murweis
asked. as he took blanket off his
own bed and put it on that Of his
son.
His wife, in an adjoining room,
also heard him stirring. He went TO
the door Of her room and said: "Oh.
I'm only restless. While l think of
1t. don't get any more bread from
that baker He didn't give me the
job be promised"
He returned to bed. but arose later
without awakening his family. His
wife found him at o'clock in the
bathroom with gas tube in his
mouth.
He is survived by her and four
daughters. Linda, Clara, Grace and
Ethel, and one son, George. The
two younger children, Grace and
Ethel, attend the Elizabeth Avenue
Public School.
The last request of Mr.. Murweis
was deferred to, and the baker was
told today not to leave any more
bread.

ALARM GOES CRAZY
At KEARNY BLAZE
Bells Toll, Then Indulge in Riot
Call as Barn
Burns.

Startled residents of Kearny,
Arlington and East Newark awoke
early today to the sound of the fire
bells tolling what seemed to be a
cross between q riot call and gen.
eral fire alarm,
The police did not know what was
happening; neither did the fire de-
partment. BY the sound it might
have been anything from a race war
to a conflagration that had started
simultaneously In a dozen different
places.
When they finally did fnd out what
it was the barn of Samuel Smith, a
Kearny coal dealer. at the rear of
his home, 55 Johnston avenue. had
been nearly burned TO the ground.
Mrs. Smith discovered the fire and
awoke her husband. A neighbor
pulled fire box No. 54, at Grant and
Johnston avenues, and the bell in the
Arlington section began to sound.
But something had happened to the
apparatus and the alarm in the
Kearny section did not register prop
erly, except in the police station. The
DoX at johnston ana hearny avenues
No. 142, was next pulled Then
another call was sent IN from a box
in East Newark.
1t was such an amazing tumble that
the police were flooded with tele-
phone queries and a big crowd poured
into the streets.
The firemen managed to save the
Smith home, which nearly caught fire,
but the barn was destroyed. one horse
was burned and two others will have
to be shot, Fifteen were saved by
the quick action of Mr.. Smith and
his neighbors. Thes loss is $500.
