TARIFF PROGRAM
IS CLEANED UP
Senate Refuses to Pass Over Presi.
dent Taft's Veto the Wool
and Steel Bills.
SUGAR SCHEDULE CONFERENCE

The Senate to-day cleared up the tariff
programme for this session by declining
to pass over President Tafts veto the
wool and steel bills. which the House re-
enacted Notwithstanding the Presidents
objections. The effect of the Senate's ac-
tion means that there will be no tariff
legislation at this session. The cotton
bill which has passed both houses is now
pending before the House Ways and
Means Committee which is considering
the Senate amendment repeating the
Canadian reciprocity measure. In view of
yesterdays action In the Senate II is
unlikely that Chairman Underwood will
report this measure to the House. The
bill revising the sugar schedule is hope
lessly deadlocked in conference. The
fate of the excise bill. which was intend
ed to make up the deficiency in the gov
ernment revenue on account OF the
enactment OF the sugar bill will depend
upon the action on the sugar bill. II the
sugar measure fails. the passage of the
excise measure will be unnecessary.
Votes Are Decisive.
The votes on the steel and wool bills
was decisive. The steel bill came up first
upon the motion Of Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina, the ranking minority
member of the finance committee.
The vote was a strict party division-3a
ayes and 50 noes. The Progressive Re-
publicans voted with the standpatters.
On the wool bill, however. there were 80
ayes to 36 noes. The measure failed
however. as a two-thirds vote is neces-
sary TO enact a measure over the Presi-
dents veto. Six Progressive Republicans
-Bristow of Kansas. Clapp OF Minnesota.
Crawford OF South Dakota. La Toilette
OF Wisconsin. Poindexter of Washington.
and Works OF Californfa-voted with the
Democrats In favor OF the adoption OF
the wool bill over the Presidents veto.
Senator La Toilette made an extended
speech in favor OF the passage Of the
wool bill, which he declared was in con-
formity with the report Of the tariff
board.

MAY REVOKE REGULATION.
Gas Engine Operators May Not Have
to Secure Licenses.

Upon recommendation OF Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner Markham, the Com
missioners may revoke the police regu-
lation requiring all operators of Ras and
gasoline engines in the District to be
licensed.
The Board of Education recently asked
the Commissioners for a ruling as to
whether the tanitors in the public schools
operating such engines should be licensed.
This matter had been brought up to the
board by the Redfield committee of the
House District Committee in its course
of investigation. The Commissioners re-
piled by ordering all janitors up before
the examining board of steam engineers
to pass for their licenses.
The proposal to revoke the regulation
Is based upon the grounds that expert
ence has shown that there is not much
likelihood of accidents in operating such
engines
