TARIFF BILLS ARE
LIKELY TO PASS
SENATE
Enough Republicans Will Join
With Democrats
WOOL BILL COMES FIRST
Will Probably Go to President In
Much Same Form as the Bill He
Vetoed Last Summer

Washington, May 23.-The Finance
committee adversely reported the
House wool bill to the Senate this
morning, coupled with an announce
ment that a Republican substitute
measure would later be brought in.
Senator Shoots announcement OF
the coming Republican measure pre-
cipitated a discussion which showed
division on the subject in the Repub-
lican camp. But it developed later
that the difference was only superfic-
ial and that there is no real intention
on the part of the leaders to put the
Republican measure on its passage.
AS outlined by a Republican OF
prominence this afternoon the lead
ers have definitely decided to let the
Democratic measures pass as speed
lily as possible and bring the fruitless
session of Congress to an end. The
Steel BILL on which a show OF seri-
Gus debate has been made, is expect
ed to pass some time next week : in
the form 1t came from the House.
And the other Democratic measures
will follow as rapidly as votes can
be reached.
The truth is that while the regular
Republicans want to make enough OF
a fight against tariff action by Con-
gress to give them a basis for claim
ing the continued support of the pro-
tected interests in the coming cam
paign, they have no faith in the fight
they propose to make. The heavy re
verses which Mr.. Taft has encounter.
ed in his campaign for denomination
has weakened the determination OF
the leaders to save him, If possible,
from having To veto tariff measures
at least until after the convention.
And the certainty that he would have
to veto measures in the end have per
suaded them that the sooner the mea-
sures reach him the better it will be.

THE DILLINGHAM; BILL
The immigration Measure Likely To
Be Defeated

Washington, May 2S.-Opponents
of the Dillingham; and Burnett propos-
ais for more stringent illiteracy
test of immigrants virtually control
the House committee on immigration,
and, for the present at least, are able
to prevent action on legislation OF
this sort
In executive session several days
ago the committee voted. Z to 5, to
lay the Dillingham; bill on the table.
Advocates Of the measure thought
they would be able at a meeting of
the committee today to obtain con.
sideration of this action, but when
the hour for the meeting arrived only
five members of the committee, main.
ly members favoring the iliteracy
test, were present. The opponents
were absent, and as five is three less
than a quorum the meeting was fore
ed to adjourn.
Unless there is compromise in
the committee there will be no i'm
migration legislation at this sess-
ion.

FRACTURED HER SKULL
Mrs. Rhoda Rogers, Who Was Ma
tive Of Bennington.

Saratoga, May 23.-Mrs. Rhoda A.
Rogers, widow of the late Captain
Rogers, who has resided at the Home
of the Good Shepherd was fatally in
jured yesterday afternoon when she
fell down a flight of stairs, striking
her head on door at the bottom,
while calling at the home of Mrs.
Frances Bosworth of No 116 Caroline
street.
The accident happened at 1870
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Rogers is frequent visitor at the
Bosworth home and just before the
fall she was in a room on the third
floor which is referred to as Mrs.
Rogers room" as she frequently oc.
cupies IT,
The stairs leading to this room are
straight and enclosed and door
opens directly on them from the foot.
Although no one saw the fall, il Is
presumed that the cause was poor
eyesight Mrs Rogers has had
trouble with cataract of the eyes and
short time ago underwent an opera
alton, but at times her sight is dim
and the glasses fail. and at such
times she has been seen to fall of
curbings on the sidewalk in the same
manner, II is presumed, as the acct.
dent occurred.
Nothing was heard by Mrs. Bos.
worth or anyone else In the house I'm
Ill the crash OF the body on the door
at the foot of the stairs was heard
and 1t is thus supposed that Mrs
Rogers fell from the very top and
pitched through the air without strik
ing the stairs as the force OF the
blow when her head struck the door
broke through the panel of the door
The fall fractured her skull so seri
ously that her death is expected al
any moment. This afternoon she had
not regained consciousness.
Immediately upon hearing the
noise of the fall. Mrs. Bosworth and
others in the house at the time hur
ried TO the stricken womans side. DR.
Earl II. King was hurriedly called
and the woman was taken to the Sal
atoga hospital. An examination OF
( the injuries was at once held but II
was deemed inadvisable to operate
as the skull was so severely fractur
ed that recovery is impossible.

TROLLEY STRIKE
MIGHT INVOLVE
LOCAL LINES
Springfield Men Demand In
crease Of Wages
NEW SCALE IS REJECTED
Berkshire Men are Affiliated With
Springfield Men and are Watch
ing the Progress

Springfield, Mass, May 24.-Ths
local trollymen's union unanimously
rejected the new wage scale SUBMIT
ed by the Springfield street railway
comapny at two meetings held last
evening. The action of the men was
no surprise and practically means
that unless the company comes for
ward with more favorable agree
ment, the local union, with all other
lines directly or indirectly controlled
by the New Haven railroad will bring
the matter to contest. In the new
agreement submitted by the Spring
field street railway company, the com
pany absolutely refuses to consider
the establishment of an arbitration
board, as suggested in the agree
ment submitted by the trolleymen.
The entire situation now hinges up
on the action OF President Lucius
Storrs of the Connecticut lines and
President j. T. Harmer Of the New
England investment and securities
company, who have been asked to
confer with the representatives of
the trollymen of the Connecticut and
Western Massachusetts lines Mon
day. AT conference held by the
trollymen of the Connecticut and
Western Massachusetts lines in Hart
ford Wednesday, request was made
Of these officials for a conference,
the request STIMULATING that their
answers be made to the New England
trollymen's joint conference board
today. Should the officials refuse to
confer with the men general tieup
OF all street railway lines under the
influences of the New Haven road is
assured.
Berkshire members of the amalga-
mated trollymen's association held
two meetings at Pittsfield last night
when the general situation and de-
mands of the employees for 80 cents
