RELEASED BRAKE
ON AUTOMOBILE
BOY SENTENCED TO FIVE DAYS
IN JAIL FOR MALICIOUS MIS-
CHIEF PLEAD GUILTY.

Ed Warren, the little white boy who
some time ago lost a portion of his
left foot when he attempted to
board moving trolley car, was before
the mayor this morning on a charge
of malicious mischief.
He plead guilty to releasing the
brake on an automobile causing the
machine to move down the street un-
attended. The mayor was greatly puz
zled to know what disposition to make
of the case, but decided that some
thing must be done to restrain suct
conduct, and as fine or Jail sentence
is the only corrective measures pro
vided by law he put a five days jai
sentence on the boy.
Lee vanderford was fined $3.50 an
costs upon conviction for being drunk
and a charge Of assault and batter
against him was continued until Nor

Washington, Aug. s.-The shatpest
division of opinion exists among SEN
ators over Governor O'Neal's an
nouncement that he will call special
election to Ill the vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Johnston Of Ala

acting under instructions of the At

challenge that right Democrats con

Monday. This week Mulhall has been
little in evidence at either end of the
capital, the investigations centering
about the letters and testimony of Of
ficials of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton. The session of the Senate COM
mittee Friday was devoted principally
to bringing out the connections of the
Manufacturers Association with other
organizations Of employers
James A. Emery continued to testi-
fly Friday before the Senate lobby COM
mittee about the legislative activities
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers and the National Council of

Emery testified that James w. Van
Cleave, former leader of the National

large part in the steps that led to the
organization of the National Tariff
Commission Association, which. how
ever, had no connection with the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers or

Emery testified the Tariff Commits

LITTLE PROSPECT OF ITS PASS
AGE BEFORE SEPT. ts-RE-
PUBLIcANs IN NO HURRY.
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY REDUCED
Death Of Senator Johnson, of AIsba-
ma, Gives Hopes In Breasts of
the Minority That They May Be
Able to Amend Schedule.

Washington, Aug. 9.-All predictions
of an early passage of the Democratic
tariff bill by the Senate have gone glim-
mering Majority leaders realize that
notwithstanding the fact that they
have set new record in pushing con-
sideration of this measure only a be-
ginning has been made, and the earli-
est any one now will promise compile
ton Of the task is September Is.
Ten days ago when a member of the
finance committee said he thought the
Senate would pass the bill by August
Goth there were some who thought it
might be possible, but that date is
less than two weeks away, and but
four schedules have been considered,
thirty-six paragraphs in these having
been passed over for future considera-
ton. Now even those who suggest
September 18th as the date for final
action are guided principally by hopes.
J and do not scorn the views Of others
that it will be later date before the
final action.
The chemical, earthenware. metal
) and lumber schedules have been ap-
proved. save for rates on certain arti-
cles on each. which will be taken mp
Il when the bill gets to the Senate prop
e er from committee. There remains
i to be considered ten schedules, among
e them three upon which there will be
i the most vigorous attack by the minor
y ity, namely, the wool, sugar and agri-
o cultural schedules. The minority is
g making a complete tariff record, and
IS shows no sign of letting up on amend
e ments.
u The death of Senator Johnson, Of
y Alabama, has reduced the Democratic
majority on the bill to one vote. the
: Louisiana Senators having determined
h to vote against it because of the free
d. sugar provision.
7S This slender majority has given rise
to hopes in Republican breasts that
they may be able to put through an
D amendment to the wool and sugar
schedule schedules. The switch OF
d. one Democratic vote more would turn
IL the trick unless a successor to Sena
r. tor Johnston is named at once
I'd Democratic Senate leaders insist, how
al ever, that the As votes they have viii
RI stand firmly against any Republican
re amendments.
n Following the schedules and free lis
u there will yet remain to be considered
~ the income tax the cotton futures Ia,
IN and the administrative provisions o
ne the measure. all of which are certain
lg- to arouse considerable debate. Thes
prospects, taken together with tn
views of Republicans against undu
ia haste because of the probability Of b'
M ing held for currency legislation, d
rn not offer any ground upon which I
in. base a prediction of completing wor
IRE on the tariff bill No progress wa
made Friday on account of adjournin
in respect to the memory of Senate
Johnston.
