Measure Likely to End Row
Over Clarke Amendment.
BY HUGH MILLER.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-These
were the developments to-day after
the conferees on the tariff bill had
spent hours wrangling over the
question Of placing a tax on cotton
/. Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, APP
p. ---,-- ,ae COnIerees and
threatened to cause trouble if his
amendment was not retained 1t is
understood he indicated he would
bolt the currency bill if the con-
ferees threw out his proposition.
2. President r. A. Marsh, Of the
New York Cotton Exchange, appear
ed before the conferees and argued
against the clarke amendment
3. Senator Ellison D. Smith, OF
South Carolina, appeared before the
conferees and argued against the
Clarke amendment
T. A member of the conferees in
timated afterward that he thought
the compromise amendment Of Sen
ator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, would
be accepted and incorporated in the
bill.
5. Chairman Simmons, Of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, and Chair
man Underwood. of the House Ways
and Means Committee, despairing of
arriving at a conclusion left the Capt.
tol hurried!y and We're whirled to the
White House in a taXicab to get the
advice of President Wilson.
The amendment of Senator Clarke
proposes a tax Of one tenth Of / per
cent per pound on sales or agree
ments of sale Of cotton for future de
livery with the further provision that
If the seller delivers to the buyer the
grade of cotton specified in the agree
ment the tax shall be refunded.
The compromise amendment Of
Senator Hoke Smith COmpels the sell
Ter OF cotton on future delivery to
deliver cotton according to the grades
established by the United States
Government, and provides further
that if the cotton delivered hv the
seller is not of the grade specified in
the agreement Of sale he shall pay
TO the buyer the difference between
the price Of the cotton he delivers
and the price of the cotton ordered.
The visit Of Simmons and Under
wood to the White House for advice
is regarded as indicating that a com
promise Will he effected along the
lines of the Hoke Smith plan, as il
is well understood the President has
let il be known that he hopes a COM
promise will be reached and that in
his opinion the Hoke Smith plan Of
fers the best basis for such a com
promise.
