house ways and means committee
meeting to organize. the real tariff
work of the 63rd congress began to-
day. With only three new members
on the democratic side of the COM
mittee it seemed practically certain
that the tariff measures framed under
the supervision of Majority Leader
Underwood during the last legislature
would be accepted by the new commit
tee and laid before the caucus before
the extra session begins April 1.
In addition to it's tariff work the
committee is confronted by the prob
lem of recognizing the entire demo-
cratic side of the house through its
functions as committee on committees.
The committee appointments are eX
pected to develop some lively con-
tests and the leaders are inclined to
defer action on them as long as pos
sible. Representative Underwood and
his associates are of the opinion that
the democrats should get Gown to work
on the tariff and let all other ques-
tions go until the regular session next
December. With this program in mind.

Some of the presidents confidents

Mr.. Wilson would be inclined to infiu-
ence their elimination, preferring to
postpone the enunciation of the gov

in favor of strengthening the Sherman

here today when the lower house of
the Hungarian parliament adopted the
governments suffrage reform bill by
which a large number of women are
enfranchised.
The Hungarian capital was crowded
with troops during the debate because
Of threats by the socialists to begin a

This was to be done in protest at the
