TARIFF REVISIONlTALK.
Democratic Statement Not Agreed
As To Legislative Program.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE form
that tariff revision is to take before
the special session of congress next
spring has become q matter of strong
individual opinion among democratic
senators and congressman now here.
Representative Underwood, house
democratic leader, has given no indi-
cation ss to his own plans and It Is
expected that other prominent demo.
Gratis will confer at length over the
situation before advising:iPresiden
elect Wilson of3provisional arrange
ments. Many members NOW favor 9
general bill covering many or all OF
the schedules of the tariff law to be
framed as q partial ortcomplete SUBJ
stitute for the 1Payne.Alcrich law.
Those who advise this plan claim 1t
would be theispeediest way sof fulfill.
ing tariff pledges. Oshers0favor CON-
bining in single billlthoseelmeasures
passed during the last two years, but
vetoed by President Taft. the prepara.
tion of other single bills to follow
this measure.
It is expected that short hearings
will be given by the ways and means
committee to industries that would be
vitality affected by cproposed tariff
changes. The extent of these hear.
ings, according to democr attic mem.
bers of the house jwho flavor them,
will not be such as to interfere with
early action on the tariffsbills.
Senator Gore expressedIthe opinion
today that the .entire tariff revision
should be concluded before next July,
permitting the inaugurs alton of the new
schedule with the beginning of the
fiscal year, July l. To procure per.
feet cooper alton between house and
senate, Senator Gore saidIhe probably
would suggest joint steering COM
mittee of members of both houses to
act together duringjithe approaching
session in the formulation of tariff
measure for an extra session.
It is not the purposelof the republi-
cans to allow the democra attic program
to be put through without remonstra'
tion. They will ask hearings on
many schedules and republican SEN
ate leaders expect to be able to make
effective opposition Ia many instances

Speaker Clark Urges FulfiIlment Of
Campaign Pledges.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-"I believe
there should be an extra session OF
congress at the earliest possible date
after March 4 to fulfill the pledges
made by the democratic party said
Speaker Champ Clark upon his return
to Washington today. "The party
has made it's promises and it should
not put of the fulfilling of them"
Speaker Clark reached here from
West Virginia. He said be had come
to Washington to take up the legisla-
tive program for the approaching
session of congress.
"We made certain definite promises
in order to win,' said Speaker Clark.
"We ought to carry them out re-
ligiously, have no doubt we will
keep faith with the people. Therefore
l am in favor of an extra session OF
congress and Is early as possible after
the insugur alton, to revise the tarih

WILL REVISE TARIFF.
Extra Session Of Congress Will Be
Called BY Wilson.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson announced tonight
th at Immediately after his Inaugural
ton as president of the United States
he would call an extraordinary session
of congress to convene not later than
April Is for the purpose of revising
the tariff. To set at rest speculation
as to what he would do with regard to
tariff revision, he issued the following
statement:
II shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is. I shall do this not only be-
cause think that the pledge of the
psrtv ought to be redeemed as prompt
ly as possible, but also because I
know it to be in the interest of bust.
ness that all uncertainty ss to what the
particular items of tariff revision are
to be should be removed as coon as
possible"
Beyond this brief announcement the
governor said he had nothing further
to say.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Clerks OF
the house ways and meane committee
began work today upon tariff revision
bills for the special session of con-
gress which President.elect Wilson
has stated he will summon to meet
next April. Democratic leaders have
been confident for some time that the
incoming administr alton would force
the tariff situation to an immediate
trial and much OF the work of pre-.
pairing bills is under way.
1t has not been determined as yet
whether one general bill will be intro
duced embracing the wool, cotton, iron
and steel revisions, which the demo.
cratic house has previously passed, OF
whether each of these tariff schedules
again will be brought In the form of q
separate bill.
Democr attic leaders are not agreed
over the sugar tariff and this situa
tion is puzzling the managers of the
party in both houses. The house fret

LONDON, July 6.--The British court

sey, has completed its report IN regard
TO the loss OF the Titanic The report
is very much like that of the report

In the matter of Bruce Tsmay, Lord
Mersey exonerates him from any hand
In the navigation of the ship or her

responsibilities which rested with the
captain and which he could delegate to
no one.
The DufGordons are not mentioned
in the report for having paid money to
get away from the ship but Simonds,
the seaman, is censured for not return

Like the American report, the Lord

The report declares the board of
trade is open to censure because of
its out, of-date life boat regulations and
in the future it is recommended that
accommodations be provided for all
passengers, where practicable; but the
