Underwood Sees Wilson.

Representative Underwood, chairman
of the House ways and means commit
tee, arrived at the White House just
after the Louisianians left bringing with
him a copy of the completed tariff bill
to receive the Presidents final approval.
The President and Mr.. Underwood dis
cussed briefly the proposed compromise
on the sugar schedule, but it is under
stood that no change was made in the
bill. Mr.. Underwood took the bill TO the
government printing office himself last
evening and it will be ready for the con-
sideration of the democratic members of
the Senate finance committee when they
meet at . o'clock this afternoon.
Senators stated last night that il would
be impossible to determine the outcome
of the fight on free sugar and free wool
until the senators from Louisiana and
those democratic senators from the great
woOl-producing states had been heard
from finally. If four democratic senators
should decide to vote against free sugar
and free wool and the whole republican
strength of the Senate be thrown with
them. it would be impossible to pass free
sugar, and free wool in the Senate. The
vote would then stand 40 to AZ against
free sugar and free wool.

Tariff Bill Goes to Printer
Minus Any Changes Despite
Protest Against Free Sugar

The compromise on the sugar sched-
ule in the tariff bill offered by President
Wilson. whereby the duty should be
cent a pound for three years and then
free sugar, was refused last night by
Senator Ransdell, Representative Brous-
sard and Col. Robert Ewing, democratic
national committeeman from Louisiana
They called at the White House last
night to state their position to the Pres
ident and to lay before him protest
against free sugar adopted yesterday at
a meeting of the American Cane Grow
ers' Association in New Orleans.
HE Louisianians predicted the ruin Of
the sugar industry il the President per-
sisted in his determination to remove all
duty from sugar.
Offer Compromise.
In turn they offered as compromise
that l cent a pound duty be placed
on sugar for three years without
the proviso that sugar should be free at
ton of that time it was deemed wise to
put sugar on the free list Congress could
take this step just as well as it could at
present, they commended The President
would be able to insist just as strongly
at the end Of three years that sugar
should be free as he can now. they said.
and in the meantime he would be able to
investigate the claim that great in
dustry would be ruined by the removal
of all duty.
The delegation conferred with the Pres
ident for an hour, but he gave no init
nation as to whether he would consider
their proposed compromise.

Tobacco Rates Increased.

There are two schedules, however,
which are exceptions In them there have
been no cuts. They are tobacco and
whisky. In fact, there have been some
slight increases in rates on tobacco. The
democratic argument is that these ar
ticles are to be considered as luxuries,
and the duties upon these articles are for
revenue. However, the producers of to-
bacco and whisky will receive strong
protection from these rates.
Z While the new tariff law will take ef-
feet at midnight the date of approval,
the income tax feature of it will be eff
fective for the calendar year 1913 and
succeeding years. This will be in line
with the present scheme of assessment
of the corporation tax, assessabie on a
calendar year basis, so as to accord with
the methods of the business organiza-
tons with whose accounts it deals
The exemptions in the income tax law,
aside from the $4,000 minimum income
limit as to persons, will be mainly, if
not almost entirely, confined 10 re-

Alliance Seems Probable.

A democratic leader was asked whether
the sugar state democrats and the wool
state democrats had formed an alliance
10 fight free sugar and free wool
Il do not know, was the reply, but in
a fight of this kind such would seem to
be the natural course
Ohio and Montana would be two of the
states most affected by putting free wool
in the tariff law. Ohio has one democratic
senator and Montana has two.
Whether four or five democratic sena-
tors will be willing to stand out against
the United front of democratic House.
democratic President and the rest of
their democratic colleagues in the Senate
remains to be seen, and upon this hinges
the final outcome Of the fight.
The majority members of the Senate
finance committee are doing all in their
power to bring about harmonious action
on the tariff bill

Suffrage and Representation
in Congress Before FEEDER
alton of Citizens.
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
TO CONSIDER SUBJECTS
Changes in Form of Government De.
bated-Crusade for Cleaner
City Endorsed.

Widely divergent views on how the
District should be governed, with ex-
pressions of opinion both for and
against suffrage for the people of
Washington, were heard at a meeting
of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions, held at the Chamber of Com
merce last night. AS result of the
discussion committee composed OF
Alan Davis. Snowden Ashford, w. n.
Cromwell, W. p. Crawford and c. G.
Lancaster was named to consider the
entire question and draw up a report.
Suggestions were made that one Com
missioner be elected by the people and
that all three Commissioners should be
allowed to speak in Congress; that a del
egate to Congress be elected or appoint
ed: that governor and a board of COM
missioners of ten members be chosen,
and that no change whatever in the pres
ent form of government for the District
be made Each of these proposals re-
ceived some support.
The meeting was one of the most large
ly attended in the history of the fedora
ton. and interest was general in the
discussion of the proper form of govern
ment for Washington. Practically all
the delegates took an active part i'm the
discussion. and number of new sug-
gestions were made which received care
full attention.

Reductions All Along Line.

The democratic tariff bill which will be
laid before the House early this week pro-
vides considerable reductions all along
the line, it was authoritatively stated last
night. This fact, it was said. is the
strongest feature Of the measure looking
toward harmonious action by the demo-
| Gratis in the Senate, where it is admitted
the bill will be subjected to the greatest
criticism. The senators representing states
where raw materials and farm products
are produced will be more ready to agree
to placing these products on the free list
or to large reductions in the tariff, be-
cause the manufactured articles which
are used by the producers of these raw
| materials and farm products also will
bear many reductions in tariff.
With such articles as wool, leather,
steel rails, lumber, flour and meats OH
the free list and sugar tentatively on
the free list. as it was admitted is the
case, the democratic tariff bill promises
to make the greatest cut in the tariff in
the history OF tariff revision. The duty
on rice has been cut one-half in the bill.
Wheat, oats. rye. barley, cattle and other
farm products have been cut one-half or
more than one-half by the bill.
On the other hand, the cuts in rates on
manufactured articles range from 20 to
80 per cent, and this all down the line.

morning, are overcome The rule is
particularly fortunate For persons
born between July 20 and August
90 and therefore subjects guided
principally by the Sun.
1t is time in which to seek posi-
tons, or to begin business ventures.
The Sun, which rules for success,
is held to incline toward right Judg-
ment and to lead to persons most
able to cooperate in fortunate
schemes.
There is a particularly good omen
today for goldsmiths, jewelers. and
gilders. The carbuncle, chrysolite,
topaz, ruby and diamond are sup
posed to be under an unusually
lucky sign. Gifts of any of these
stones set in gold bring fair for

Her life was, like that of many
other English women who have made
a name for themselves in letters,
singularly uneventful. She was al
ways so shy that she disliked to meet
strangers. She never married, and
her writings-she produced 100 books

life. She was early interested in the

her death. She went to church al
ways twice a day.
When she had produced one or two
successful books and il was apparent
that writing was her bent, her family
had a conference. 1t was unsuitable
according to their middle-class Eng

writing a career for money. There
