DEMOCRATS HOLD
CAUCUS ON TARIFF
Leaders Hope Today's Confer
ence Will Be Final One
Before Vote.

WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-Demo-
Gratis of the Senate began early today
what administration leaders hoped
would be the last caucus over the
stumbling blocks in the tariff bill.
Every possible effort was being made
to rush odds and ends of the measure
into place for a vote on the bill in the
Senate by tomorrow night.
The Senate waited while the Demo-
Gratis were in session endeavoring to
agree on an amendment to the In
come tax and to settle differences IN
their own ranks on minor points. An
other caucus may be necessary to-
night to consider amendments by
Senator Newlands. of Nevada, who
returned from the West during the
day.
After several hours debate on vari-
Gus amendments to increase the tax
on larger incomes the caucus finally
adopted the amendment proposed in
the finance committee by Senator
Smith, of Georgia That leaves the
normal tax at l per cent. on sS,oou
minimum and provides an additlonal
tax of 1 per cent. on incomes over
500, 900 to $4,000; per cent. addi-
tional on incomes between $4,000 and
$75, 900; Der cent. on incomes from
$4,000 to 100000 per cent. on in
comes between 100000 and s25o,oOO;
per cent. on $250,oOO to s50o,ooo, and
6 per cent. additional on incomes In
excess of 100000 1t would make tne
maximum tax on incomes over $780,
600 per cent.
After disposing of the income tax
the caucus took up the proposed tax
on cotton future deals which was
originally proposed by Senator Clark
of Arkansas. but which Senator
Smith. of South Carolina. insisted
should be amended so as to AFFECT
only illegitimate transactions.
The causes refused to reconsider
its former approval of an amend
ment to impose tax of one-tenth
of one cent per pound on cotton flu
lures, the tax to be refunded IN
cases when actual deliveries were
made.

DEMANDING SMITHS BOND,
DEPOSITORS FORCE PROBE

1t is estimated that several hundred
thousand dollars worth of his prop
erty is in the hands of the receiver.
Yet the $4,000 owing the bank upon
his forfeited bond has not been col
lected. Furthermore it is pointed
out that at the same time that this
source of revenue was apparently be-
ing overlooked the directors were dig
ging deep into their own pockets to
subscribe voluntarily for a reor-
ganiZation fund.
Smith disappeared more than two
weeks ago. Although the exact
amount of his defalcation is not
known the bank officials named a sum
of S305, 900 in swearing out an attach
ment on his belongings. The dep6si-
tors argue that 1t consequently ought
to be a simple matter to demand that
the surety company pay over such a
much smaller sum as $4,000.
Seeks Hidden Reason.
The failure of the bank officials 10
do this has caused some of the de-
positors to infer that there may be
some hidden reason for their appar-
ent apathy in that regard.
In Smiths bond there was a clause
requiring that If any wrongdoing on
the part of the secretary and treas
urer became known to his superiors
ii was the duty of such person or
persons to notify the surety company
Immediately. The National Surety
Company, it is said, was never given
an inkling by anyone that Smith S
accounts were wrong. 1t is in this
fact that the deposltors rest their
hope of obtaining a just placing of
blame for the shortage, for it gives
the surety company grounds for in
vestigating whether or not it was
possible for smith to cause a deficit
of ut least $S7S.oo0 without the knowl-
edge Of snsne OF tho nthar odlcagA

Hurled head-first to the road in a

old, of 4S Kossuth street. was in

today
AS a driver for Schanz & Koehler,

He was driving along a da-A

Policemen Heard Collision.
Patrolmen Wertz and Dunn, who
were so near the scene Of the acci-

collision, commandeered the trolley
car for an ambulance. They placed

A depositors' committee this after
noon made formal demand that i'm
mediate action be taken to collect
on the $4,000 bond of Raymond e.
Smith, the missing secretary and
treasurer.
Valentine B. Kane, of 81 South Thir-
teenth street, and Henry B. Tower,
justice of the peace, both represent
ing the Depositors' Protective Asso-
citation, called at the bank. In the
absence of any of the bank officials,
they made their request to Examiner
Grosscup.
1.-THE surety company says it is
ready to pay this $20,000,' said Mr..
Tower, "if proof of claim is estab-
lished.'
"A big it." replied Mr.. Grosscup
with the shadow of a smile.
Hope to Force Revelation.
BY their action the depositors said
they hoped to force a revelation of ex-
actly what caused the huge shortage
and who is to blame.
The National Surety Company is
bound to make an investigation of the
most searching kind before it pays the
claim. If there is anything to show
that the directorate CT the bank or
any member of it was cognizant of
Smiths methods, so the depositors be-
lieve, the company will without ques-
tion contest payment and expose the
guilty Ones
That no attempt has yet been made
to force the surety company to settle
is reagrded by the depositors as pecu-
liar.
Every other asset of the vanished
official has been seized, even to his
furniture and trif1ing trinkets left ly-
ting about his apartment at Central

Blame MilitantS
for School Fire

LONDON. Sept. 5.-Dulwich College,
a famous school in a southern suburb
of London, which was built in 1870 at a
cost of $780, 900, was set on fire in two
places early today. Suffragette litera-
ture was found pinned to trees in the
vicinity with women's hat-pins- A
watchful policeman discovered the
blaze in time to get three fire brigades
on the scene before serious damage
had been done. Empty petroleum
cans were found scattered about the
floors of some of the rooms. where
their contents had been literally
sprinkled over the inf1ammable fur
nishings.
Dulwich College, known as the
college of Gods Gift" has been
in existence since 1919, when it was
founded by Shakespeares friend,
Edward Alleyn. 1t provides higher
school education for over 600 boys
and also has a preparatory school
attached to it.
