for recovery.

little flag in his hand, when he ran
into the street and was hit, said
Sherman Williams, u years of age,
who was playing with the Gregory
boy. The man in the automobile yelled
and tried to stop the machine
The automobile was being driven
north on State street at a moderate
rate Of speed with a clear track in
front, so far as could be learned last
night.
7'The unexpectedness Of the boys
move, as he ran from the sidewalk,
looking backward toward his comPan-
ion, took me by surprise, and though
I stopped the machine as quickly as
possible, the boy had been struck by
the fender and thrown, the right front
wheel passing over his head" said DR.,
Sandberg last night.
A consultation of physicians was held
over the injured boy at the hospital
last night He was reported to be in
critical condition at an early hour

Harmony Desired.

The ways and means committee
chairman declared that every member
Of his committee Was cooperating with
the president to bring about harmony,
in order to hasten the tariff legislation
for the welfare Of the country. All
agreed that the points Of serious diff
ference should be settled, by compro-
mise IL necessary, before the bin Is
sent in TO legislative mill, rather than
afterwards, when stubborn obstacles
might arise to prolong debate and drag
the session along for months
a provision of the measure is that IL
shall become effective on midnight OF
the day on which it is signed by the
president. This provision and the fact
that the measure viii be blanket bill,
including the income tax, when it
comes from the committee, strengthens
the probability that 1t viii be consid-
cred in congress as one measure, in
stead Of being taken up schedule by
schedule. This method. it is said, al
most certainly will follow if there is
an agreement between the president
and senate and house leaders as to the
rates.

Agreement Likely Today.

"We expected to get word from the
president today after his conference
with the senators, but the word did not
come. I believe, however, that the
whole matter will be determined to-
morrow,
"If the president cannot bring about
an agreement on this schedule, we are
ready anyway and the bill Will 20 TO
the house as g committee bill.
"This committee has agreed thus Tar
to every change the president sug,
gested in our original bill as 1t reached
him. His suggestions were few. Most
features of the bill met with his hearty
approval The committee was Of the
mind that no bill should be presented
which President Wilson might veto
when it reached him. Having made
the changes ne suggested. we are now
ready to accede to the further recon-
mAndations ne may make.
Because of the delay in settling the
sugar schedule the committee may not
be ready to introduce the bill on Mon,
day. Chairman Underwood assured
the president that he could have all the
time necessary to bring about an agree
ment with the senate leaders. II he
should ask for time, the bill would be
withheld until it was apparent that no
agreement could be reached. In this
case the Democratic caucus also would
be DELAYED.

VIII Shorten Debate.

This situation, unique in tariff his.
tory Of recent years, is expected
greatly to shorten the time required
for the passage Of the tariff bills and
to reduce to an unusual degree con-
pressional debate and amendment OF
the measure. Preliminary agreement
on the bill, 1t is claimed, will result in
the making Of a few changes by the
senate when the bill reaches that body.
Chairman Underwood, when the
ways and means committee adjourned
for the day, seemed in a greatly re:
lieved frame OF mind, and expressed
the hope that the committee would
hear from the president and the senate
committee by Sunday at the latest.
"Our bill is ready" said Mr., I'm
derwood. "The sugar tariff is the
only serious point in controversy, and
our committee has agreed to do what
ever the president wants US to do, after
he has made up his mind
