PUTS PRESIDENT IN HOLE

WASHINGTON, July 26.-President
Taft is likely to be confronted with
dilemma exactly similar TO that he
raced last summer in regard to the
tarin revision, as a result of the sit
uation created today by passage In
the senate the La Toilette wool tar
IN bill.
An unexpected resumption OF the
progressive Republican Democratic
coalition forced through the measure,
identical to the one Taft vetoed last
year The LaFollette bill takes the
middieground between the present
Payne-Aidrich law and the drastic
cuts Ia duties specified in the house
bill.
As PASSED by the senate. the meas
ure fixes duty of 30 per cent on
raw WOOL and an average OF 55 per-
centage on manufactures the house
Dill mace the raw wool duty 20 per
cent AID the manufactures about 30
per cent

today that the house would either
agree TO the senate wool bill. or
make slight notifications ia confer.

a compromise which would "'put Presi.

10 take action on tariff revision bill.
Since La Toilette frankly admits
that his measure Is not based on the
tarin boards wool report. II was con-
.ceded today that If the bill does reach
the White House II will Immediately
receive a presidential veto I'm line
with Tafts determination that the
recommendation OF the tariff board
must be followed in revision OF the
Payne.Aldrich law.
The vote on the La Toilette bill
came after protracted debate. Preyi

A Great Race.
The eleventh race was probably
one of the prettiest and seyerest
struggles ever seen on Kapiolani
Major Collier and Merlingo being the
principles. Major. ridden by Gilbert
J. Fernandez rider, a jockey who has
national reputation and who has
ridden horses to victory in many OF
the most celebrated races run in the
United States. The race was a mile
dash, the only mile running race or
the program. The two horses goi
away to nice start. Gilbert taking
nice, steadying hold of the Major
and both horses going out to set q
heart-breaking pace, which will read
lily be seen by the time made at each
of the quarters as the race progress
ed: first quarter in 26, the half 5I1ta
the three-quarters in Ills and the
mile in las. When it is considered
that during all of the racing of pre-
yious years over Kapiolani Park only
time, viz, Mr.. Horner's Angie A. and
Mr.. Valentines Speedy Amarino
some estimate of the excellence Of
this performance may be made, and
especially as it was after each of the
horses had had three previous hard
races. rs
II has been insinuated that in this
race the Major was pulled. Wher
such statement is made in regard
to so grand struggle as that which
took place between these two equine
champions in their final race OF

The following account of an Incl
dent relative to this race, which tool
place as the horses were going tC

fact that the Major was trying every
inch of the road.
AS Mr.. Gilbert was about tC

his ten dollars to bet on his mount
told him that he was throwing his
money away, that l did not think
Major could beat Merlingo. He re

D. 0. SERVICE
ON SUNDAY Is
MUCH RESTRICTED

Postmaster Pratt has sent to the
Star-Bulletin the following copy. of a
letter which affects Honolulu's post
office service on Sunday:
Postoffice Department, Washington,
August "a, 1912.
Postmaster,
Sir: The postoffice appropriation
act for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1912, provides:
"'That hereafter postoffices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays for the purpose of
delivering mail to the general public,
but this provision shall not prevent
the prompt delivery of special deliv-
cry mail" -.
Under this law you will close. the
general delivery, carriers windows,
and lock boxes and discontinue all
deliveries by carriers on Sunday.
You will note, however, that special
delivery mail is excepted and you
will therefore arrange to have on
duty sufficient force to handle this
mail matter promptly. ..'...*t
The Department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible
may enjoy complete day of rest on
Sunday. You should, therefore, re-
quire only a sufficient number Of
clerks to report for duty on that day
in order that transit mail and the
mail collected for dispatch may be
handled without delay. If no mail Is
dispatched on Sunday a very early
collection should be made on Mon
day morning and the mail for local
delivery distributed before the car
riers leave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
G.. P. GRANDFIELD,
First Assistant Postmaster General
