trick play at Springfield last week?
DENY LEWIS is ELECTED.
AS to whether Colonel Lewis was
elected, national leaders declare that
the question is as dead as a door
nail. Kent f. Keller of Ava, men,
Der of the Illinois state senate, has
been here during inauguration week
seeking TO advance his claim that Mr..
Lewis was elected in the coup" at
Springfield He has been laboring
hard among the senators but beyond
getting an attentive ear he has accom-
plished nothing.
Senator Stone and John Sharp Will
liams began the inquiry into the Hi
nois deadlock yesterday by listening 70
an exposition of the case by Mr.. Kel-
Ter. From their attitude during the
hearing small comfort might be ex-
tracted by the men who urge that
Lewis has been elected.
SHORT TERN PLAN SURPRISES.
They inquired into all angles Of the
situation. and asked Mr.. Keller how
it came that the short term vacancy
had not been filled. The reply is be-
ing extensively commented on by
members of the national committee.
Mr.. Keller says that Governor Dunno
had asked the democrats to split their
votes so that the senator for the short
term should not be elected until after
the long term senator had been chosen.
! During the last three or four days
statements have been given wide cur
rency among the national committee
men and the senators that at least
the short term vacancy in Illinois
could have been filed long before this
If IL we're not for the opposition of
the Dunne-Lewis forces. who are work
ing with the single object Of electing
Lewis 10 the long term.
BALK On SHERMAN.
At Springfield, of course, this is rec
ognized as precautionary rather than
obstructive tactics on the part of the
Lewis supporters, for the colonel
would have slim chances Of landing
the long term if some other democrat
we're first placed in the short tern
seat In Washington, however, the
matter is looked at from a different
angle, by the national committee
Committeeman who have been study

and that if only democrats can b

easily either from the progressives o.

ance. Following conference at the
White house with President Wilson
last night. William F. McCombs.

committee, announced his intention of

look into the situation and to bring
about harmony among the democratic

Gratis.
The democratic caucus OF the Unit
ed States senate itself also took the
matter up during the day with a view
of determining whether II might with
eXpediency try TO aid in the election OF
two democratic senators from Illinois
AS the situation now is the democrats
control the upper branch Of congress
by bare majority. They have 40
members out of a total membership
OPPOSE DUNES STAND.
Mr. McCombs declared that he
probably will arrive in Illinois next
Tuesday. He will work with the leg
islature in Chicago and may go to
Springfield to be on the scene Of &C
ton itself. His visit grows out of the
statement issued by Governor Dunno
concerning the conference he had
Wednesday night with the president.
According to the governors statement
the president approved the plan of
breaking the deadlock by combining
forces 10 elect James Hamilton Lewis
to the long term and L. Y. Sherman
10 the short term.
This placed the president in posi-
ton of direct antagonism to the ma
tional committee, which at its meet
ing Wednesday proclaimed that all
good 2ud faithful democrats at Spring
field should stick together for the
election of two democrats. This ap
parent conflict of opinions led to hur
ried calls for explanations and after
a prolonged conference between the
president and the national chairman
the latter announced his intention OF
VISITING Illinois to hammer home the
idea that two democrats should be
elected
DEMAND BOTH SENATORS.
This move. il is declared, has the
approval of the president and as the
situation stands the call for two dem
OCratic senators is being made BY
the national committee. the democra
caucus of the senate and the presi
dent himself by inference.
The action of the democratic sena
tors was one of the first developments
OF the day. Their caucus appointed
a committee headed by Senator Stone
of Missouri TO pursue an inquiry o
the situation at Springfield along th'
following lines:
/ Should democratic members o
the United States senate endeavor Il
promote the election of two democrat
from Illinois by trying their hand a
harmonizing the democratic factions
at Springfield?

deadlock yielded to the senate.
The senate also free listed slabs,
blooms, loops ana other products &C
iron more advanced than pig iron,
which the house had made dutiable ut

this. The senate cut the duty on round
iron or steel wire from 20 per cent in
the house bill to 10 per cent, and the
conference accepted the senate reduC-
ton.
Agricultural Schedule.
The conference committee agreed to
The senate amendment, which struck
out the 10 per cent duty on cattle pro
vided by the house bill and the 10 per
cent rate on sheep and transferring
both to the free list. The conference
committee also put wheat on the free
list, where the senate had placed 1t,
by striking out duty of 10 cents a
bushel provided by the house bill.
The house won a victory in the duty
on lemons and other citrus fruit when
the conference committee restored the
classification based on the cubic feet
OF the containers in which such prod
ucts are imported, which results in n
slight decrease of the duty.
The senate also lost in the struggle
over proposed duty on bananas when
the conference committee struck out
the senate rate and restored bananas
to the free list of the house bill.
WooIen Schedule.
Very few changes were made in the
woolen schedule. The senate was sus-
tained by the conference committee in
its amendments fixing the dates when
wool duties shall so into effect. Com
promises were made by the conference
committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops will bear a
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty
of Is per cent.
The senate sought to reduce the duty
on woolen blankets and to free list
blankets valued at not more than 40
cents pound, but the conference COM
mittee rejected the amendment, and
all blankets will bear duty at % per
cent ad valorem. The house rates of
80 per cent ad valorem on carpets and
. rugs were adopted by the conference.
A compromise was reached on the
paragraphs relating to angora goat
hair, alpaca, by which the hair will
pay duty of 10 per cent; tops from

paragraph relating to furs, but general
ly the house rates were restored
The senate rates prevailed as to lace
curtains and laces and the house won
by having restored the paragraph in
the house bill covering chamOis skins
and glove feathers, by Which the for

and the latter at 10 per cent. There
