DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL
SUPPORT EXCISE TAX BILL
WILL MEAN LEVYING INCOME
TAX ON PERSONS DOING BUS
INEss OVER 5000 A YEAR.

Washington, July 26.-Democratic
senators in caucus today determined
to support the house excise tax bill
virtually levying an income tax on
all persons and CO. partnerships doing
business of more than $4,000 a year,
and to reject the Borah income tax
bill, offered as an amendment. There
was some opposition to this course.
Republican leaders were puzzled
over how far the new alliance between
the democrats and progressives would
go in the action on the excise tax
bill, to be voted on later, and the
democratic free sugar bill to be voted
on tomorrow.
A tentative understanding was
reached as to the course to be pursued
tomorrow in the sugar tariff fight.
Democratic leaders believe they will
be able, with the aid of the progress
sives, to pass a compromise sugar
tariff bill, probably. that by Senator
Bristow, taking at least 40 or 80 pei
|, cent OF. the present duty Of s1.90 OF
sugar.

DISARMAMENT NOT WANTED
BY CHINA OR JAPAN
DR.. Chas. w. Elliot, Back from Orient,
Says Such is impossible for Japan.

Honolulu. July 26.-Dr Charles w.
Elliot, president emeritus of Harvard,
who is returning from a tour of the
Orient, declared in an address here
that neither China nor Japan favored
disarmament. Such a course would
be impossible for Japan, he said, be-
cause of her insular position. DR..
Elliot characterized the Japanese war
scare of recent years as absurd. Japan,
he said, was not in the least inclined
to be warlike and would fight only
as last possible resort or if at
! tackled.
The only hope of worldwide disar
mament, DR.. Elliot declares, lies il
the American policy of exemption o
private property from attack at sea

WOOL BILL SIMILAR TO ONE TAFT
VETOED WILL GO TO WHITE
HOUSE AGAIN ~sooN.
BOTH HOUSES CAN AGREE
Alabama Congressman Will Call
Ways and Means Committee To-
gether Next Week to Take Up Bill.
LaFoIIette and House Bill Compared,

Washington, July 26.-The senate's
unexpected passage of the LaFollette
wool bill presents situation upon
which Majority Leader Underwood of
the house thinks the two branches of
congress can agree.
Mr.. Underwood today said that he
thought there would be little difficulty
in reaching a compromise. in this
event a bill almost identical with the
one President Taft vetoed on August
II, 1911, is again likely to go to the
Whine house within few weeks
The former bill was vetoed on the
ground that the tariff board had not
reported Oh its investigation of sched-
ule X. Leaders Of both houses say
the LaFollette bill follows the con-
clusions OF the board quite closely.
Mr.. Underwood today said he would
call the ways and means committee
together next week to take up the
wool bill.
Essential points of the LaFollette
bill and the house bill are as fol-
lows:

Essential Points.

Raw wool: LaFollette bill, 10 to 35
per cent; house, 20 per cent.
Wool wastes and rags: LaFollette,
20 to 80 per cent; house, 20 per cent.
Combed wool or tops: LaFolette, 40
per cent house, 25 per cent
Yarns; LaFollette, As per cent;
house, 80 per cent.
Clothes, ready-made clothing. knit
fabrics, womens dress goods, etc.:
LaFollette, So per cent; house, 35 to
so per cent
Carpets: LaFollette, 35 per cent;
house, 25 to so per cent.
These are the more striking COM
PARSONS between the two measures.
When the house and senate conferees
reached a compromise a year ago the
raw wool duty was compromised at
20 per cent; the wool waste at 29 per
cent; the combed wool duty at 80 pr
cent; the yarn duty at 35 per cert;
the readymade clothing duty at 40
NCr cent
When the LaFollette wool bill
reached the house today, Majority
Leader Underwood demanded that it
be sent to conference, and the sem
ate amendment be disagreed to. Rep
resentative Payne of New York, repub-
iican, objected to the bill going to
conference before it had been referred
to the ways and means committee.
ccordingly, the naming of the con-
ferees was put over until tomorrow

of Williams.
The minority report was adopted
without the Philippines and the latter
question was taken up separately.
The delegates from the Philippines

Taggart. of Indiana. and Roger C. Sui
Ivan. of Illinois. the actual steering
committee OF the Democratic national
convention, today decided to fight the
Bryan forces to a finish. They will
make no compromise with Bryan.
They want harmony but they will
not go SO far as to join with the Ne
'braskan in electing a president unless
he is willing to accept their candidate
The three leaders will not support
Wilson, but are willing to unite on an
other candidate not championed by
Bryan
That was the situation when tine
third days session was called to order
at noon by Chairman Parker.
The trio today outlined the future
conduct of the convention as follows:
This afternoon: Action on majority
and minority reports of the committee
of Kentucky. as permanent chairman,
and address b. him.
This evening: Hearing of speeches
in nomination and seconding OF candi-
dates for the presidential nomination;
balloting upon presidential candidates
with the possibility that three ballots
will be taken and that that will be
enough to settle the matter.
Friday afternoon: Presentation of
the report OF the committee on resolu-
tions and action on the platform.
Friday evening: Nomination of a
candidate for vice president and final
adjournment of the convention.
This program will not vary ve~y
much. in the opinion of Taggart, Muir
ply and Sullivan. Even though more
ballots may be necessary for the presi-
Dental nomination than they now fig
ure upon, they insist that the work of
the convention will nevertheless be
completed some time Friday night.
