POLITICS RULES HOUSE
All Factions Indulge in Rough
and Tumble Battle.
WILSON RECORD ATTACKED
Rodenberg Quotes Democratic
Candidates Changing Views
Shown by His Writings.

Washington. July 26.-The air in the
House to-day was surcharged with poll
tics. and a rough-and-tumble battle
among the opposing factions-Republican'
Democratic, Regular and Bull Moose
pointed conclusively to a stirring cam
paign.
Representative Rodenberg held up to
the view Of the House the inconsistent
attitude on many subjects Of Governor
Woodrow Wilson. Representative Hum
phrey, a Taft supporter, bitterly at
tackled Representative Norris. who had
charged that the Washington State dele
gates were "stolen" for the President.
Mr.. Norris replied in such causic Ian
guage that a point Of order was maze
against him. Representative HOhin, or
Alabama, painted word picture OF
Democratic success, based on the predic-
ton that Woodrow Wilson would carry
forty OF the forty-eight states OF this
glorious Union"
Mr.. Rodenberg made the principal poll
teal speech OF the day, and his analysis
OF the changing views Of the Democratic
nominee brought repeated applause from
the Republican side and sheepish grinS
to the faces OF the Democrats. The
Illinois member characterized Governor
Wilson as Woodrow Wilson, anti-Jcffer-
son, anti-foreign, antl-labor and pro-
Chinese candidate for the Presidency
He drew a parallel between the utter
ances of Wilson. the professor and his
torian. and Wilson, the politician and
Presidential candidate.

Attacks Wilson's Record.

Mr.. Rodenbergs speech was the hrst
real Republican broadside at the record
of the Democratic nominee on the ques-
tons of labor immigration, the tariff
and even on that patron saint OF Democ-
racy Thomas jefferson. whom Professor
Wilson ridiculed when he had no poliu-
cal ambitions.
The record of President Taft. declared
Mr.. Rodenberg. needed no defence at his
hands He added:
When the froth and foam and fury oil
misrepresentatio ton shall nave al ap-
peared, when the pillows Of billingsgate
shall have subsidized. when the calm sue
ceeds the storm. the sober, thinking peo-
pie who are in the majority In this coun-
try, will do full Justice TO this brave
fearless and manly man, who has never
failed TO do the right as God has given
him 70 see the right"
They will elect William Howard Taf'
as his own successor Tor In hlm they
will recognize the dignity and the maj
esty OF an honest man. who has faith-
fully upheld the best traditions or the
Republi an party-the party OF progress
and protection. the party of people 5
hone and n nations desire. the party that
believes in preserving in all Its strength
and purity the constitution OF the
fathers

JAPAN NOT WARLIKE-ELI0T
Would Fight Only as Last Re-
sort, He Says.

Honolulu, July Cdr. c. W. Eliot.
president emeritus Of Harvard University,
who is returning from a tour Of the
Orient, in connection with the world peace
movement, declared In an address here
that neither China nor Japan favored dis
armament such a course would be Inn
possible for Japan, he said, because OF
her insular position, which renders 1t
necessary for her to be able to protect her
routes of ocean commerce.
DR.. Eliot characterized the Japanese
war scares Of recent years as absurd.
Japan, he said, was not in the least in
clined to be warlike. and would fight only
as a last resort, or IL attacked.
The only hope of worldwide dissrms-
ment, Or. Eliot thought, was In the Amer
lean policy Of exemption of private prop
erty from attack at sea.
DR.. Eliot is carrying TO the United
States a memorial signed by many leading
Chinese statesmen asking that an Amer
lean library be established at Picking. It
is urged that such a step would lead TO d
better understanding Of American ideas
by the people Of China.
DR.. Eliot has been entertained here BY
Harvard graduates. He expects to sail
for San Francisco in a few days.

Republican Senators Aim to
Send Democratic Wool
Tariff to the President.
FIGHT ON SUGAR NOW DUE
Senate Democrats Decide TO
Stand for Reducing Duties
One Third and Abolish
ing Dutch Standard.

Washington. July S.-If plans agreed
on by Republicans in the Senate to-day
are carried into effect, the Democratic
wool bill. and not the La Toilette bill
passed after stormy session last night
will be sent TO the President for his APP
prevail or veto. Either in conference or
in the Senate the Republicans will prob
ably permit the Democrats to accept the
Democratic bill. thus discarding the meas
urc Of Senator la Toilette.
It Is expected that the House will dis
agree TO the La Toilette bill. throwing
the measure into conference. On the part
Of the Senate Messrs. Penrose, Simmons
and La Toilette will probably lie named
as conferrees. Senator Penrose does not
take kindly 10 either measure, and may
leave the question entirely TO Senators
Simmons and La Toilette.
If the conference does not agree 10 ac-
ccpt the House bill, q motion to that end
will probably bc made in the Senate and
the Democrats will &c put In the attitude
either OF sacrificing their own measure 10
arrange a compromise bill with the Re-
publican insurgents. or put through their
own bill. If they choose the latter course
the regular Republicans will give them
the right of way.
II was difficult to-day TO follow the In
tricaCies Of the political man9uvrinS over
the tariff bills. The Democrats and In
surgcnt Republicans were torn between
the conflicting purposes Of passing their
own measures and putting the President
In a hole
Another fight is expected tomorrow,
when tho sugar bill will be voted or. The
Democratic Senators IN caucus to-day de-
cidcd to stand for a bill reducing the
tariff onc-third and abolishins the Dutch
standard and the differcntial. The House
free sugar bill was thrown into the scrap
heap by the Democrats of the Senate.
\ Republican bin will he offered by
Senator Lodge abolishing the diffcrcntial.

Republicans will unite on the Finance

Rates of La Toilette Bill.

The essential points of the La Toilette
bill and the House bill are as follows:
Raw wool-I.a Toilette BILL 10 to 80 per
cent: House bill, 20 per cent.
Wool wastes and Tags-Ia Toilette bill
% TO 80 per cent, House bill, 20 per cent
Combed wool or tOps-La Toilette bill
40 per cent; House bill % per cent.
Yarns-LG Toilette bill. - per cent;
House bill. so per cent.
Cloths. ready made clothing. knit fab
RIGS, wOmen's dress goods, etc.-La Fol-
lette bill - per cent; House bill, - TO u
per cent.
Carpets--IA Toilette bill. IS per cent;
House bill, p to so per cent.
These are the more striking compari-
sons between the two measures. When
the House and Senate conferrees reached
a compromise year ago the raw wool
duty was compromised at % per cent, WOO
waste at % per cent, combed wool at 81
per cent. yarn at IS per cent and ready
made clothing at i9-per cent.
When the La Toilette bill reached the
House to-day Mr.. Underwood asked that
II be sent 10 conference and the Senate
amendment be disagreed TO. Mr.. Payne,
OF New York, Republican, objected to the
bill going to conference before It had been
referred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee Accordingly the naming Of the
conferrees was put over.
Mr.. Underwood said to-day he would
call the Ways and Means Committee to-
gether next week to take up the wool bill.
At the White House some Of President
Tafts callers predicted that he would
veto the wool bill II II came to him In the
form il left the Senate. which is substan-
tally the same bill as was vetoed last
wear. Mr.. Taft has yet had no confer
ences with Republican leaders about the

Firm Against Tariff Board.

There is 10 disposition Ivy the House
leaders TO Yield to the Senate on the
amendment 10 the sundry civil bill restor-
ing the appropriation for the continuance
Of the Tariff Board. Representative Tn
derwood plainly indicated to-day that the
House would stand pat on its decree mat
the board shall be abolished.
If the Senate insists on its amendment
perpetusting the Tariff Board. in order
that there may be scientific Information
10 guide those who frame tarin leglsia-
ton. the House is willing TO accept TIE
issue and to deadlock further the two
branches OF Congress House leaders, In
Guiding Mr. Underwood, predicted to-day
that adjournment Of the present session
would be impossible before August ~ or
September /.
The nuke by which the La Toilette wool
bill passed has encouraged the House TO
believe that other ta-iff bills may receive
favorable acton In the Senate, and the
paramount Democratic idea no" seems TO
be to put the President In hole The
House probably will pass the cotton h!iI.
now on the calendar. In view Of the Sen
ate's action last night.
Nothing has developed to cause the
House TO reccde from it's position that the
Tariff Board should De abolished was
the terse comment to-day OF Mr.. Under
wood, the majority leader OF the House.
Mr.. Underwood and other majority
members Of the Ways and Means COM
~! zee insist that the proposed bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, pro-
yided for I'm the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation BILL should sup
plant the TaIiff Board Accordingly. the
Democrats ale preparing for a deadlock
on the sundry civil bill unless the Senate
agrees to the abolition Of the board.
Democratic leaders excuse this attitude
by claiming that the ideal body to gather
tariff statistics IL one charged with tie
duty Of reporting to Congress. as well as
the President and the claim Is also made
that the comprehensive data gathered by
the Tariff Board has been useless 10
the Democrats I'm their peculiar tariff
tinkering.
