AGREED ON
 TARIFF BILL
HOUSE CONCLUDES coNsfpERA- TON OF CHEMICAL BILL IN
 COMMITTEE OF WHOLE.
Republican Leader Maun Attaek3 the Bill, Declaring Democrats Have Raised Tax of Ingredients
 Of Common Soap.

Washington, Feb 20 -The demo- cratic chemical tariff revision bill was agreed to without change in the house tonight whea the committee of the 1ole concleded work on the meas- ure. No final vote was taken sbut the bin will be passed at the beginning of tomorrow's session
 An agreement was reached between Republican Leader Mann and Demo cratic Leader underwood to defer the final vote until that time so as aot to interfere with President Taft's re- ception tonight. No amendments were put into the bill, although the repub- licahs offered many and got some democ ratio support
 The days debate took facetious turn when Republican Leader Mann charged that the bill increased the duty on vanilla and cited the fact that the duty on vanilla beans had been raised.
 Representative Harrison of New York, who had charge of the measure for the democrats. retorted that ordi nary vanilla was derived from cloves and had actually been reduced in the bill.
 Mir. Manp made an attack upon the soap section and declared that the democrats had raised the duty on in- gredients of common soaps.
 We cannot expect the democrats to be interested in soaps, said Mr. Mann. They consider all soaps an. necessary inxnries:''
 Representative Harrison replied that some republican householders .need great deal Of soap and Rep- resentatiye Cullop. democrat, of In- diana, insisted that Mir Mann was fighting for free soap. "so that the republicans can go back and soft-soap the people
 The chief attack nn the measure was based on the democratic plan of raising the duties oa raw materials and lowering the duties on finished articles.
 ''It is our contention,' said Repre- sentative Harrison, 'iIhat tho reve- nues should be taken out of the large profits of the manufacturer and that this should not be passed on to the consumer in the shape of a raise in prices.
 Representative Harrigca justified an increase in the duty on lemon juice and lime juice by saying these articles were chiefly used in soda fountain drinks
 An, now you would drive the young man to drink?' demanded MT. Mana.
 It is expected the bill will draw few republican progressive votes when It passes the house tomorrow. because of the admitted increase in many items.
