SUBSTITUTES FOR
TARIFF SCHEDULES
Republicans of House to Consider Mon
day Certain Amendments to Wool
and Cotton Rates.

Another conference of the House Re-
publicans was held yesterday. After a
long discussion it was decided to post
pone until Monday night a vote on q
motion made by Representative Payne
Of New York to offer substitutes for the
wool and cotton schedules of the Under
wood bill when that measure is called up
for action in the House. Opposition to
the proposal to offer substitutes for the
Underwood schedules was expressed by
Representatives Moore of Pennsylvania
and Fordney of Michigan, who took the
position that such a measure would be
a waste of time.
They pointed out that the Democrats
had a majority of las, and that to at
tempt to fight in such circumstances
would be idle. Representatives Payne
Gardner of Massachusetts,. Anderson of
Minnesota, and Greene of Iowa, mem
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, favored the offering of substi-
tutes, declaring that it was the duty of
the minority to offer opposition IL for
no other purpose than to keep the Re-
publican tariff record on straight. you
can gain nothing by offering a substitute
tariff BILL or a part thereof said Rep
resentative Fordney. 1.-The only thing to
be gained is criticism, and any substi-
tute we may offer will become a scare
crow in our backyard trial if we are to
return again to power"
The Payne wool and cotton schedules
propose rates higher than those In the
Underwood bill, although lower than
those of the existing law.
The Progressives in the conference
sided with Mr.. Payne in his contention
that substitutes should be presented All
present agreed that the Underwood bill
would prove disastrous to American in
dustry and labor.

other countries consuming less than one
million tons each. The per capita con-
sumption of the United States in the
same period was 1913 pounds, which was
the highest. except that of the United
Kingdom, which had an apparent per
capita consumption of S6.49 pounds, due
to the large amounts used in fruit can
ming preserving for export.

HUERTA CAN'T BORROW;

Another crisis In the Mexican situa-
ton 10 now seriously apprehendsd by
the Federal authorities closest In touch
with events in that country. Advices
received during the last few days indi-
cate That fears for the, ability of the
Huerta government to maintain itself
are well founded, and the greatest pes
simism prevails with regard to the situa-
ton
The revolutionary movement led by the
rebellious Gov. Carranza, In Coahuila

teddy In control Of Carranza and the
State forces Of Sonora. Huerta does not
control all Of tho southern territory,
however. and has no troops to send
against rebels in either north or south.
Foreigners are said to be closing out
their business connections in Mexico IN
even greater numbers than during The
Madero and Orozco revolutions. Mills
and factories and mines are being closed
down, and thousands are out Of work in
all parts Of the country. The govern
ment meantime has been unable to float
much-needed loan. It is asserted in
Mexico City that the fiotation Of a loan
will be impossible until the United States
grants recognition to the Huerta gov
eminent. This recognition will not be
forthcoming until elections are held, and
the present state Of affairs in Mexico
make elections out Of the question for
many months Many believe that ths
Huerta government will not be in exist
ence when elections are finally called
The collapse of the Huerta govern
ment is contemplated here in the light
of the greatest possible calamity that
could befall Mexico at this time. 1t is
declared that should Huerta fail to re-
store peace in Mexico he will undoubt-
edly be succeeded by one weaker than
himself, who likewise will be forced out
by another. At the same time the fall
of the present government in Mexico
would bring to the front again those
questions which had the United States
on the verge Of war during the closing
days of the last administration. 1t Is
not believed that even the Democratic
administration would find II possible to
stand by quietly and see anarchy reign
in Mexico.

What Caused Affair.
The one-round battle yesterday was the
result of a statement made by Mr..
Glover when before the Insurance In
vestigating Committee of the House last
session. Mr.. Glover called Mr.. Sims
sharply to account for a speech the lat
ter had made several years before. in
which ne charged that the local financier
was seeking huge profit in his attempts
to dispose of to the government for park
purposes large tract Of land lying along
Rock Creek Park.
Mr.. Glover, in his statement. which
was given under oath, gave Mr.. Sims
the lie direct for this statement, which
had been printed in the Congressional
Record. Shortly thereafter Representa-
tive Sims replied quite as sharply In the
speech on the floor of the House. Mr..
Glover asked permission to reply through
continuation of his testimony before
the committee.
This privilege was denied him. There
upon Mr.. Glover prepared and caused
to be printed in local newspapers a
lengthy statement replying to Mr.. Sims.
and establishing the truth of his
(Glover's) assertions. Mr.. Sims replied in
another speech and the incident seemed
closed.
A few days ago Senator La Toilette
took a hand In the CONTROVERSY. when he

Secretary Of the Treasury. and that this

IGNORED BY THE CABINET

II was made evident at the White House
yesterday that neither President WILSON
nor his official eA4yisers have beer
alarmed by the reports OF warlike agi-
tation from the anti-alien land legislation
pending in California carrieds In this
mornings cable dispatches from Japan
The subject was not discussed In any
phase at the regular. Cabinet meeting
yesterday morning, and it was learned
that the President does not CONSIDER the
situation grave enough to demand con-
ference upon it with any OF his al
visers. The President. 1t was ascertained,
has no intention Of varying his policy
of noninterference because Of the tone of
today's unoffcial news His determine
ton to allow the courts to pass upon the
Constitutionality of the California law
as finally enacted before taking any
steps from Washington still obtains
The President, however. certainly does
not regard the situation as having set
tied itself as yet, and he intends to
give much consideration to the questions
of Constitutional and international law
involved in the proposed enactments
against which the japanese government
has already lodged informal protests.
He said he found that in a number of
States there were laws similar to the
bills now pending in the California Legis-
lature which the japanese Ambassador
has protested against.
Yesterday afternoon Secretary Bryan
submitted to the President an official
giving the information in
possession of the State Department with
regard to the situation.
No Recent Developments.
Mr.. wilson stated frankly to visitors
yesterday that there had been no re-
cent developments in the situation, as
far as he was officially informed either
from the standpoint of the State of Cali
fornia or of the Japanese government.
Thus far the administration had de-
pended up Senators and Representatives
from California for information upon the
State situation and has communicated d.
rectly with members of the Legislature.
Representatives Kent and Raker have
acted as unofficial spokesman of the
Presidents opinions, and have been in
constant touch with State Senator San
ford, Democratic leader of the State Sen
ate.
Representative Raker. who called at
the White House yesterday. expecting
to have a conference with the President,
predicted the early enactment of the
law by the California Legislature. He
said ii was as yet uncertain whether
the law as finally passed would approx
mate the drastic House form, which
makes no exception as to violations Of
the treaty relations OF this government,
or the more conservative Senate form.
The Senate bill provides that none of its
provisions shall be construed as violative
Of the treaties of the United States.

COLEBROOk.- y. H, September IL
Harry Kendall Thaw, thrown out of the
Dominion of Canada yesterday and ar
rested near here after a fifty mile f1igh:
in an automobile, arose late this morning
after spending the night in hotel room
here under guard. Lawyers kept him
up until late hour laying plans to re-
sist extraditon to New York
In another part of the hotel William
Travers Jerome. deputized by the state
to get the fugitive back to Matteawan
conferred with Thaws most recent cap
tor, Sheriff Holman Drew. over the court
procedure to be followed today. Mr.. Je-
rome, accompanied by Deputy Attorney
General Franklin Kennedy of New York
reached town last night on special
train. He had had no supper. so he
chose as his conference room the kitchen
of the Monadnock House. where he ate
and discussed the situation.
At first merely detained, Thaw was
subsequently arrested on a complaint
charging him with conspiracy in connec-
ton with his escape from the asylum
and it was upon this charge that he was
to be arraigned today before Justice
James T. Carr in police court. New York
was prepared to ask that he be remandeC
pending the receipt of requisition war

preliminary steps to swear out a writ OF
habeas corpus in the prisoners behalf.

Arrangement Is Delayed.

Thaw's arraignment in police court was
delayed. Jerome was waiting for his de-
tective aid, Lanyon, due on a 1896
train. I'VE are also waiting for the New
York gunmen,' he said with a smile.
Justice Carr came to the hotel shortly
after 8 O'Clock and said he was ready tC
preside at any time the complainant
against Thaw desired. After being shaved
Thaw returned to his room and talked
with his lawyers.
1t was announced shortly after IL O'Clock
that by mutual consent counsel had
agreed to postpone the hearing until 4
pm. 1t was expected that the case would
then be adjourned until tomorrow
Both Messrs. Jerome and Kennedy were
indignant at the action of the Canadian
authorities who put Thaw over the
border yesterday
