$4,000 DAMAGES GIVEN
TO MRS. c. A. REDDTCK
As Result of Compromise in
Suit Against SGabOard
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


Preston, Ca, April AS the result
of a compromise reached between the
counsel representing Mrs. C. A. Red
dick in her suit for $4,000 damages
against the Seaboard railway for the
death of her husband, C. A. Reddick
an award Of $500 was accepted By
Mrs. Reddick This prevented the case
from going to trial in the Webster
superior court, which met here to-
day.
AS the original claim made by Mrs
Reddick was for $4,000 damages, the
suit had aroused much interest here
and throughout the county. Finally
however, a compromise was agreed up
en-, where the plaintiff is to receive the
amount named, and the defendant com
pany must pay the costs of the suit.
The civil docket of the court will be
greatly shortened by the removal OF
this case, so that the criminal docket
will likely be taken up today. The ses-
sion here will likely reach a conclus-
ion before mid-week, or very soor
thereafter.

FREE WOOL
FEATURE OF
TARIFF BILL
free SUGAR Soon, TOO
Duty on LuXuriGs Instead Of
Necessities

Washington, D. c., April 7.-Remov-
al of all tariff from any articles OF
food and clothing, broad reductions
in the rates of duty on all necessaries
of life; an increase of tariff on many
luxuries, and a new income tax that
would touch the pocket of every
American citizen whose net income
exceeds $4,000, are the striking fea-
lures Of the new democratic tariff
revision bill presented today to the
house.
Sugar would be free of duty n
1916, the bill proposing an immediate
% per cent. reduction and the re.
moval of the remaining duty in 1916.
Raw wool would be made free at
once with a corresponding heavy
reduction in the tariff of all woolen
goods.
All these other articles are put on
the free list, namely: Meats, flour.
bread, boots and shoes, lumber, coal
harness, saddlery, iron ore milk and
cream; potatoes salt, swine, corn
cornmeal, cotton bagging, agricultural
implements, leather, wood pulp, bibles,
printing paper, not worth more than
IL IL cents per pound; typewriters
sewing machines, typesetting ma
chimes, cash registers, steel rails,
fence, wire, cotton ties, nails, hoop
and band iron, fish, sulphur sod1,
tanning materials, acetic and sulphG-
ric acids; borax, lumber products, in
cluding broom handles, clapboards,
hubs for wheels, posts, laths, pickets,
slaves, shingles. These principal
items are taken from the free list and
taxed:
Diamonds and precious stones, furs,
coal tar products, 10 per cent; volatile
oils, 90 per cent; spices from 1 ce'.t
10 cents per pound.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee in his state
ment accompanying the new tariff bill
submitted a complete comparative
table to show reductions in tariff du-
ties made upon necessaries of life. In
each item a substantial reduction is
shown under the proposed new law.
The new rates are estimated to re-
duce the customs revenue approx
mately $SO,000,O00 a year. This is ex-
pected to be made up by the income
tax.
Endorsed by President Wilson, the
measure represents the efforts of the
president and the house tariff maxi
ers to carry into effect democratic
pledges of downward revision and Of
concessions to the American consum-
Iers. Protection to the farmer would be
cut throughout by more than so per
cent. in an effort to reduce the cost OF
food.
! Protection to the steel and imple-
ment manufacturer would in turn be-
cut by fully as wide a margin.
The heaviest reductions fall upon
foodstuffs, agricultural products.
woollen and cotton clothing.
The free wool proposal, backed by
President Wilson and accepted by
the house committee, is expected to
provoke a severe fight within the
democratic ranks of both houses.
1t had not become clear today as
to whether the democratic opponents
of free wool and free sugar in the
senate would be able to force com
promise on one or both those pro-
visions.
