WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 27.-
Hawaii, the Philippines, Porto Rico
and the Canal Zone are to be given
some measure of protection in the
tariff revision scheme. 1t is proposed
to evolve methodEb by which this may
be done no matter. how the rates are
siashed for the mainland.
1t has for some time been realized
that sugar, tobacco and fruits are pro
auced In the United States under more
adverse conditions than those existing
in Hawaii and other insular sections
of the country 1t is frankly admitted
there should be a differentiation in FIX
ing duties to meet the situation. Just
low it can be arranged is feature
for the wise men engaged in tariff
tinkering to determine.
A start was made in the direction
of effectually protecting Hawaii, the
Philippines, Porto Riceeand the Canal
Zone when Secretary Garrison OF the
war department and General Mcintyre
CT the insular bureau went to the capi-
tol and discussed the subject with
Chairman Underwood and other lead
ing members of the ways and means
committee. Other conferences will
follow and the expectation is ex-
pressed that fair adjustment OF the
tariff to meet the necessities of Ha.
waii and other outlying portions OF
the country will be the result. No in
timation is given regarding the basis
on which it will be made.

BROWN EIPE6 TED TO SUPPORT
WRITES REAPPORnONMENT Bill

Senator Cecil Brown, author of the
first reapportionment bill before the
senate, will lend his support to the
measure introduced yesterday by Sem
ator Writ for The apportioning of
senators and representatives. The
senator made this admission last
night while discussing the bills with
Senator Wirtz.
The action of Senator Brown in get
ting behind the second bill is taken as
coming from his realization that his
measure is all but dead now. 1t has
been deferred until the next-to-the-last
day of the session, which would give
it one day to pass two readings in the
senate and three in the house, thing

from the cane growers of that state
FASTENED here the moment It was
known that President Wilson and
Chairman Underwood had begun a Sc.
ries of conferences seeking to reach an
agreement whereby a tariff measure
acceptable alike to the senate and
house might be framed They desired
to make certain that free sugar was
not included in the list on which no
conflict will take place.
Wilson's Desire.
The presidents desire Is to frame
a bill that will amount to an unani-
NOUS consent measure; that is, bill
to which all Democrats will have given
assent, at least to the extent Of agree
ing not to oppose either the ways and
means committee or the finance COM
mittee of the senate when the meas
ure has reached the upper chamber
At this time such an agreement
looks like an impossibility because tha
ways and means committee has agreed
upon what is called the free food list.

in the opinion of the solons who were
discussing the matter last night, but
the possibilities of 1t getting through
the house are meager. The fight
against it will be made mainly by rep
resentatives whose districts that will

representation.
The bill will go to committee, and
its author believes it should be re-
ported out within a few days, the sec
ond and third readings completed by
the middle of the month.

CASA CONTENTIA
CASE ADVANCED
Question Of Right of Club to Sell
Liquor in Dry Territory to
Be Settled.

Whether il is legal to organize clubs
in dry territory and sell liquor TO club
members viii be tested by the county
attorney, who yesterday issued a com
plaint against the Casa Contentia Driv-
ing club, charging violation of the state
liquor law.
For many months the county at.
tornev has fought the sale of liquor at
the Casa Contentia roadhouse at West
Temple and Twelfth South streets
which is dry territory, being Just be-
vond the city limits. Many complaints
have been filed against c. A. lBirtch,
the proprietor, and frequent raids un.
der search and seizure warrants have
resulted in confiscation of much liquor.
Some time ago the proprietor of the
roadhouse organized driving club,
where liquor - sold 10 all members,
members being any persons paying the
81 initiation fee.
That the case may be decided rs
quickly as possible, the club has agreed
to waive preliminary hearing so that
the district court and eventually the
supreme court may pass on the matter
at an early date.
