SENATE WILL VOTE
ON TARIFF BILLS
Democrats Force Action by
Threatening FiIibuster.

Washington, July 1S.-Democratic
forces in the senate practically won
their demand for consideration of the
remaining tariff bills and the excise
tax bill. This was the result of con.
ferences on the floor at the opening
of a Democratic filibuster.
Senator Simmons, in charge of the
tariff bills, told the Republican lead
ers the Democrats would resort to
every parliamentary device to delay
all business unless assured there
would be a vote on the tariff meas
ures. He told them the Democrat,
side stood solidly behind him.
Senator Smoot Immediately called 2
number of other Republican leaders IL
conference in the Republican cloal
room. So far as they could the Re.
publican senators present agreed TO
accede to the Democratic demand with
the understanding that the Democrats
abandon their filibuster and agree tC
allow the tariff bills to go to ballot
after comparatively brief discussion
Formal agreement among the Re
publicans was not Immediately reached
owing to the desire of some of the
principals to offer amendments to the
wool bill
The Democratic leaders declined tc
stop their filibuster against the sundry
civil bill until actual agreement was
made. They then forced the senate tC
take up the Panama canal measure.
Senator Simmons announced hi
would endeavor again to call up the
wool bill

he could not supplement these reports

Mr. Hitchcock said the total collect.
ed through various agencies of the
committee i'm 1908 was $l,655. .5lS.27.
OF this amount $500, $50 was collected
in various states and handled by the
local state committee. The latter sum
never was turned into the treasury of
the Republican national committee,

No contribution was received from

''The question was unanswered Mr..
Hitchcock insisted that. with the eX-

could get to invest the more interest
they would take in the success of the
man.
Before the system of collecting mon,
ey by the finance committee, organized
in each state, was put into operation
Mr.. Hitchcock said, fortunately, '
friends of the party came forward
with large contributions.
The first friends" he mentioned In
that connection were: Charles p
Taft, brother of President Taft, who
contributed $4,000: William Nelson
Cromwell, $4,000; Mr.. and Mrs. Lars

$4,000; William Smith Cochran, SIS,

Reid, $4,000; NJ c. Borden, $4,000
and General Corbin, for number oi
persons, $4,000.
During the examination Mr. Hitch
cock remembered that a number o.

they might have been interested In

rate, that was a small contribution fol
