Is Quite Undisturbcd at Re ports of Trouble Among the Democrats Over the Wording of the Measure He FayOrS
SAYS FRICTION
 IS ABSENT
Caucusing Still Goes On, But Underwood Has Only to Speak of Wilson's Preference to Immedi- ately Clear Atmosphere
(By o. K. OaViS)

WASHINGTON, April A.--Presi- dent Wilson is quite undisturbed at the reports of trouble among the democrats over the tariff bill Every thing is serene from his point of view and he is confident that the bill will go through in record time and without material change.
 Ii surface indications seem to casual observers to point to a dif- fercnt result. they should bear in mind that the president has decided lv the best line of information on the subject In a private interview the president declares emphatically that there is no friction and that there is no occasion for picking of what is going on in the house and senate as a fight.
 The house democrats are still caucusing over the bill, but it is extremely significant that whenever a disposition is shown by any con- siderable number of democrats to change any rate or provision which Chairman Underwood regards as es- scntial, he has only to say as he did on Saturday. that the president fIEorS the DllI aS IL SIatIlbS III pI utl to have opposition disappear,
 Not in many years has congress given such an exhibition of readiness to yield it's views to those of the president as the democrats are giv- ing just now The president has special reasons for cOmplacency re- garling the situation in the senate He has received extraordinary prof fcrS of assistance from the repub- lcan side. It is now apparent that several old guard republicans have determined to assist the president If necessary in securing the passage Of his tariff bill. As one of these senators put it. Tt is a short path to the outer. lObbv.'
 This means that these senators are contemplating absenting themselves on critical votes in order to insure the presence in the chamber of enough democrats favorable to the presidents bill to put it through. The republicans make no secret of their belief that the bill will pro- duce disaster and they are express ing themselves as quite willing to give Mir Wilson free scope to put # through. thereby leaving him alone with the responsibility for it and it's effects.
 Victor Murdock. chosen for leader of the new progressive organization in the house, has put both repub- liCans and democrats to a test of surety in these declarations in favor of publicity of campaign contribu- ton and expenditures under the law sworn reports are required from all national political committees and from all candidates for congress. These reports are now on file with the clerk of the house but are not accessible to the public. so that as q publicity measure the law is a farce
 MT. MurdOck has a resolution pro viding for the publication of all these accounts as a public document. The democratic and republican lead CTS are informed of his intention to offer this resolution. so when ne sought recognition for that purpose % motion to adjourn was promptly submitted from the democratic side. The democrats obediently followed their leader and the house adjourned.
 Mir Murdock will soon make an other effort to get his resolution up and hopes to force action on it.
