OPPONENTS OF FREE
RAW WOOL MEET AND
PLAN CAMPAIGN

About fifty Democratic Representative
from twenty to twenty-five States, who
are opposed to putting raw wool on the
free list, held conference yesterday
prior to the assembling of the Demo-
cratic caucus. 1t was unanimously
agreed to fight the proposal to place
wool on the free list, and the opinion
of the members present was that the
WAYS and Means Committee and Chair
man Underwood would accept a, duty on
wool without stiff opposition.
No resolutions were passed and no
formal action was taken. The wool
Democrats claim to have 100 votes
against the free list plan. a number
of Democrats who are known to favor
a duty on wool were not present on ac-
count of a misunderstanding as to
where the conference was to be held.
Representative Ashbrook of Ohio was
elected chairman of the wool conference,
which was attended by about ten other
members from Ohio. The conferees
agreed that they will not be bound by
the caucus rule, and when the Under
wood bill is under consideration in the
House in Committee of the Whole they
will join with the Republicans and Pro-
eressives in voting for a duty on wool.
This will hardly be enough, however, to
pass free wool over the head of the
Ways and Means Committee. as the
Democrats have a clear majority of con-
siderably more than 100 votes.
None of the members who attended
the conference was willing to say how
many votes could be mustered in the
Democratic caucus for a duty on wool.
but it is expected they will have some
moral support from the Ways and
Means Committee, as they are of the
belief that Chairman Underwood is him
self opposed to putting wool on the free
list. Underwood, it was stated, is for
a duty of at least 10 per cent.
If the free wool provision is retained
in the bill, several of the Ohio MEM
bers, including Representative Ashbrook,
it was learned, will vote against the
Underwood hill on final massage

KEPT IN BILL
Continued from Page One.

his colleagues-if not in so many words,
at least in effect-that If the House
bill was to be pushed through the Sem
ate it must have the whole-hearted sup
port of the White House. and that be-
cause Of this the committee had seen
fit to defer very largely to Mr.. Will
sons wishes.
Responsibility of Senate.
The action of the Democratic caucus
on the sugar schedule is significant in
another way. In indicates that Presi-
dent Wilson is planning to appeal to
the country in the event that the Sem
ate butchers the tariff bill and fails to
redeem the party pledges. 1t means
that Mr. Wilson wants the House to
stand behind him so that two years
hence he can place the responsibility for
any such reputation undoubtedly upon
the Senate: that he can veto special
privilege bearing bill, and, when the
State and Congressional elections roll
around, can say to the country: These
men. Senators Blank, Banker, and
Blankest. blocked the Democratic pro-
gramme and repudiated the Baltimore
platform. Because of this L vetoed the
tariff bill Give me men in their places
who will stand by their party pledges
and I will give you tariff law in con-
formity with the platform upon which
| was elected
Recalcitrant Senators know that this
is the plan to which the Presiden: is
determined to resort if necessary. More
over, they know that this appeal will
have more direct strength than ever be-
fore because from now on election to
the Senate must be by direct vote OF
the people. as required by the seven
teenth constitutional amendment, and
prime "fixers'' in State Legislatures Will
not be- in a position TO cover for their
Senatorial candidates.

EVANSVILLE MANSION SOLD.
}. Harris dodgers Purchases Estate
from Washington Man.

SPECIAL TO The Washington Herald.
Hyattsville, April 12-J. Harris Rog-
ers, of this place. has purchased the
historic Hyatt mansion, with about two
acres of ground. from F. A. Linger. of
Washington. the price being about
5000. Mr.. Rogers is the owner of Fir
wood" formerly the home of the late
Sebastian Aman, of Washington, and II
is understood purchased the Hyatt
place in order to prevent building oper-
atoms adjacent to Firwood. For the
present, at least, the Hyatt property
will remain as ii is. This mansion
was erected in 1860 by Christopher c.
Hyatt, the founder of Hyattsville, the
original idea being to use it for hotel
purposes.

TARIFF STILL IN FORCE.
Brazilian Cabinet Rules ON Pre-
ferentiaIs on American Goods.


Complaints of American exporters to
Brazil have been satisfied, in part. at
least, by the action of the Brazilian
Cabinet, reported to the State Depart
ment yesterday. The Cabinet has issued
a decree, declaring that the tariff pref
erentials on certain American goods ex-
ported to Brazil are to be regarded as
still in effect up to April 8 of this year.
Owing to the fact that the preferentials
current in 1912 were not declared in force
for 1913 at the beginning of the year,
there has been great anxiety among
American exporters of the favored goods
The Cabinet decree leaves open the
question as to whether the preferentials
are to be in force for the remainder OF
1913, however, and, consequently. 1t is
likely that American exporters will still
be subject to considerable uncertainty
with regard to the tariff rates on the
formerly preferred goods. 1t is under
stood that the Brazilian government in
tends to hold over the heads OF Ameri-
can exporters the possibility of the re-
moval of the preferentials until 1t Is
learned what the United States intends
to do about the coffee valorization suits.

ATTITUDE ON CONSULSHIPS.

Civil service principles will continue to
govern appointments and promotions to
the consular service, as a general rule,
according to announcement by Secre-
tary of State Bryan yesterday. Mr..
Bryan declared that the selection OF
some man for consular post from out
side those now in the service, or on the
eligible list, will be the exception.
There has been strong demand made
upon the new administration by the
Observation-Disclosures of the country for the
retention of the civil service system
upon which the consular service has
been conducted since 1906. The Presi-
dent and Mr.. Bryan have been flooded
with applications for positions as con-
suls, but If the general rule announced
by Mr.. Bryan continues to be predomf-
nant, most of them are due to disap-
pointment

Asbury Park. n. j., April l2.-The
steamship FL Occidente, en- route from
New York to Galveston, collided at II
o'clock tonight with the schooner Charles
e. Church off Barnegat, n. ].
The latter vessel was in a dangerous
condition at midnight. six miles south
east of Barnegat and the wireless op-

ADDITIONAL CIRCUIT
JUDGE IS PROBABLE
Senator Chiffon Introduces Bill Provid-
ing for One for Fourth
District.
GOFF FAVORS THE PLAN

Legislation providing an additional
Judge for the Fourth Judicial Circuit at
this session of Congress practically is as
sured. This circuit Is composed of West
Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, North Caro-
lima, and South Carolina. Since the resig-
nation of Judge Nathan Golf, of West
Virginia, elected to the Senate, Judgs
Pritchard, of North Carolina, has been
the sole member of the Circuit Court Of
Appeals in that circuit. For many years
efforts have been made to pass a law pro-
viding for an additional circuit judge. but
the attempt always has failed becausd
some Senator or Representative opposed
its passage, owing to a provision of law
preventing a member of Congress from
appointment to an Office created during
his term of office.
During the last session of Congress
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia intro
duced bill providing an additional judge
and succeeded in getting it through TIE
Senate, but 1t failed Of passage in thu
House. Senator Chiffon has rentroducedl
this bill. 1t will be passed upon by the
judiciary Committee on Monday. Mem
bers of that body said it would be
favorably reported on Tuesday. This ac-
ton was forecasted yesterday when for
mer Senator c. w. Watson Of Paramount.
w. Va, called at the White House and
discussed the matter with President VIII
son. After visiting the White House Mr..
Watson conferred with several Senator'S
and with Chairman Clayton and other
members of the House Judiciary Commit
tee. lodge Goff Mr.. Watson's successor
in the Senate, gave a cordial Endorsement
to the Chiffon bill, and, naturally, his
opinion carried great weight. !
With the immediate prospect of an adj
ditional circuit judge the best-informed
predict that Representative John w.
Davis of Clarksburg will be named by
the President as Judge COTS successor,
and that Judge A. G. Woods, of South
Carolina, will be appointed to the judge
ship Immediately after its creation. Judge
COTS statement that the business of ths
fourth circuit requires the services of
an additional judge. Senators say, is con-
yfncing.

SLEEP OF THE ELEPHANT.
What Little There 10 Seems, a. Rule
to 30 Taken Standing.


1t IS, doubted whether, in the wild
state, elephants ever lie down. Gordon
Cumming thought he had found evil
dence iu marks upon the ground that
the adult bulls did stretch themselves
out at full length for few hours rest
at about midnight. but he contended
that the young and the cows always
remained on their feet.
/, Another authority, Selous, has ex-
pressed doubt whether even the old
bulls lie down. He tells Of one herd
that was known to have kept moving
and feeding throughout the twenty
four hours. Except when rolling in
mud and water" he says, 1T is likely
that an African elephant never lies
down during its whole life"
However this may be, the most com.
petent authorities seem to agree that
this animal sleeps less and more light
ly than any other. J. l.. Kipling, the
father Of the writer, estimated the Pc
Rod Of slumber taken standing up to
average about four hours in the TWEEN
ty-four, and this estimate has been en-
ployed by the son in an amusing pas
sage for one Of his stories. Mot Guj,"
wherein the sleep Of the elephant is
