SHOOTS TARIFF VIEWS.

Senator Reed Smoot. who is the Re-
publican leader in the Senate on tariff
matters. declared yesterday that the
Democratic party had undertaken a big
Job in prepa .ing for a revision Of the
tariff at an extra session of Congress.
But think Il is just as well.' said
Senator Smoot, who returned to Wash
ington. Friday. that the country have
this matter over as soon as possible.
look to see a very long special session.
The Democrats will not be able TO pass
u free sugar bill. OF that I am abso-
lutely sure They will not have a large
majority in the Senate and that is
where they will have their trouble. The
new Senator from Colorado. Mr. SHAFT
roth. in my judgment, will not vote for
free sugar. / am not so certain about
his colleague. Mr.. Thomas. He might
vote for a free sugar bill. But Il is
certain that neither OF the Louisiana
representatives will vote for free sugar.
and ! believe that there are other Sena-
tors on the Democratic side that will
take the same view.
While am not prepared to speak
positively that the Democrats will not
be able to pass a free wool bill. as l
have done with respect Of their free
sugar bill. 1t is my Judgment that they
will not be able to pass their free wool
bill"
Senator Smoot has just returned from
Utah. where he has been through the
strenuous campaign in support of Presi-
dent Taft.

been talked OF as a possible head for the
national association.
Another woman much talked of for the
presidency is Mrs. Belmont herself. Mrs
Belmont has long been the angel OF
the suffrage movement. and her admirers
say that she would be chosen by accla-
nation should she give evidence OF wish
ing to assume the duties of. the office.
An occasion for particular rejoicing
will be the celebration OF the admission
of four new States to the little band
OF territorial divisions now allied with
suffrage. The new States in which the
voters declared for suffrage on Novem-
Der 5. are Kansas. Michigan. Oregon.
Arizona. These together with the six
States In which women are already en-
franchised. bring the total number OF
suffrage States up to ten.
Among the speakers who have been
chosen to address the delegates are: Ru-
dolph Blankenburg. mayor Of Philadel-
phIa: Mrs. Ellen II. f. Price. president
OF the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association: Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw.
Miss Jane Adams, James Lees I4aidlaw.
Jesse Lynch Williams, Mrs. O. H. p.
Belmont, Carey Thomas. president of
Bryn Mawr College. and many others.

uled for November ..

spite the fact that it has been an open
question whether or not she would ac-
cept this position.
Active preparations. however, have
been set afoot looking toward the
presentation Of her name at the coming
convention. The coterie who have this
matter in charge have beef termed radi-
Gals by the Ida Hustled Harper con-
tlngent, who have steadily advanced
American suffrage through their con-
servative practice and creed.
The candidate whom the conservatives
have selected is DIR. Anna Howard Shaw.
the present president of the national as
sociation. DIR. Shaw has become very
popular with suffragists throughout the
United States, particularly with that fac
ton which had stood so strongly for nom
partisanship in politics. This contingent
is backed by Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont.
whose conversion TO the cause of equal
rights was made upon this creed, and
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper. the historian of
the American suffrage movement.
II was further manifest to-day that the
fight for the presidency would develop
into a three-cOrnered affair, with Mrs.
Laura Clay as the third entrant. Mrs

circles, and has on several occasions

MANY OFFICERS
TO BE TRANSFERRED
More Than 1000 in Army to Report
Back to Regiments Due
to New Law.

In accordance with a law passed at the
last session Of Congress. many changes
among army officers must be made be-
tweeDnow and December Is. The law In
question provides that no army officer
shall be absent from his post with his
company for more than two years out OF
six.
It Is estimated at the War Department
that more than 1,Ooo officers Of the service
will be affected by the transfers that
must be ordered II the terms of the law
are to be complied with. II is further es-
tlmated that the transferring Of these Of
ficers from their present places Of duty 10
their regular posts will cost the depart
ment not less than 10000.
Some OF the most important changes
VIII take place at the Military Academy
at West Point. Men of the army with
a natusal bent for instruction have been
detailed to West Point from time to
time, and a large part Of the present
teaching force at the Academy will have
to be transferred. Secretary StImson
and Advocate General Crowder have
long sought an Interpretation OF the law
by which these men OF talent could be
retained at West Point but both have
reached the conclusion that no such in
terpretation can be put upon the statute,
and that the instructors. as well as men
dealled TO other important positions In
Washington and elsewhere will have to
pack of to barracks and field to enter
service with their commands.
Maj. Gen Wood has expressed the
opinion that IL would have been much
better II the law. SO far as West Point
Is concerned, could nave not gone intn
effect until after the end of the scholas-
tic year. but the changes will now have
to be made In the middle OF the year
probably TO IN" hurt of the ella sses in
the Military Academy. II is not a ques-
tion II ability OF other officers to in
struct the youth at the Academy. but
one purely OF changing experienced men
for new ones in the middle OF a school
year.
About three-fourths of the officers Of
the army will have to be relieved of
present duty and others assigned to their
places, fresh from the active service. 1t
Is condition which the heads of the de-
partment greatly deplore.
In addition to the West Point men
there will be leaving krom the General
StRff. s: Quartermasters. g.: Signal Corps,

TARIFF PLANS CONTINGENT.
On Control of Senate Depends Ac,
tIons of the Democrats.

Democratic plans to revise the tariff
are contingent somewhat on the COM
plexion OF the United States Senate. As
things now stand, the Democrats expect
to be in control Of the Upper House. II
so they will propose a general revision
of the Payne-AIdrich law in one bill. II
they are shy of a majority in the Senate
the Democrats may provide for revision
in a series of bills as was done at the
last session. The Democrats excused the
''popgun bills on the ground that as the
Senate and the President were politically
hostile. il was hopeless for them to at
tempt a general revision Of the tariff.
Therefore they proposed partial revision
of the schedules that they believed were
unpopular with the people. With the
Senate against them, the Democrats say
that It would hardly be possible TO pass
through a bill providing for a complete
overhauling of the tariff law.
At present the Democrats believe they
will be in the majority in the Senate
after March 4 next. A death among the
Democrats at this time would make an

drops of pure carbolic acid in one pint
of water in its food three times day

AS preventive give the other cows
the same dose twice day for the

Some dairymen dose their cows in
this way with carbolic acid every two

dreaded disease might break ont.
Another simple method, which can
be used when cows are in pasture. is
to mix thoroughly 100 pounds OF barrel

crude undiluted carbolic acid or four

salt. Give to the bulls and COWS as
