LATTER OPPOSES REPEAL OF
 5PER CENT. CLAUSE.
IN THE TARIFF BILL
Favors the Bill as It Stands, But Ways and Means Committee Will Consider Repeal If It Is Requested.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Efforts te re- peal the five per cent tariff discount provision on imports in American shlpS, which has aroused the state and treasury departments, met a setback today with the return to the city of Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, original champion of the clause Af- ter Joseph w. Folk, solicitor of the state department, who advocates repeal of the provision. had talked to Mir. Underwood, he announced that there would be no developments in the mat ter for several days. It also was stated that President Wilson's mind in the premises still is open.
 Underwood Opposes Repeal.
 MT. Underwood still emphatically favors the provision. and had no hesi- tancy in saying so.
 The tariff is now a law. and I am for the bill as it stands" Mr Under wood declared. If the president thinks the issue grave enough to send a mes sage to congress urging the repeal of the discount provision, or if he indi- cates that he wishes it repealed. I will call the ways and means committee to consider the idea. But. even then, 1 would not favor q repeal until thor Ough hearing had been held and eV- erything had been said on both sides
 Believes There IS a Misconception.
 Mir. Underwood further stated that he believed there was d misconceptiOn in the departments regarding the clause and that he believed it would work out advantageOusly to this coun- try.

 Erroneous Teachings of Books.
 A resolution referred to the commit. tee on canons authorized the house of bishops concurring, a commission be appointed to report to the next gen eral convention suitable legislation whereby the discipline of this church relating to holy matrtmony shall be plainly set forth"
 Several other important resolutions were introduced and referred to vari- ous committees. One would authorize an appeal to be made to publishers and authors to eradicate alleged erroneous teachings contained in books used in the public schools. Another related to method of representation to the house of deputies, it declaring that the pres ent method does not give the full strength of the church representation owing to the system of allowing dio- ceses, irrespective of size, to send the same number of delegates each. Rep resentat1on according to numerical strength was suggested.
 The house of bishops held executive sessions morning and afternoon. It was announced that only routine busi- ness would be transacted

PRESIDENT WILSON TO
 TOUCH OFF THE BLAST
Gannboa Dike to Be Blown Up by
 Dynamite Today.

Panama. Oct. 9.-Upon the request of President Woodrow Wilson the hour when the Gamooa dike which now separates the waters of Gatun lake from the Culebra cut, will be blown up by dynamite tomorrow has been changed from 9 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Presi- dent Wilson at that hour will through the medium of the telegraph and cable lines throw a switch here which will touch off the blast intended to destroy the dike.
 This di<e is the last great physical obstruction to the opening of water communication between the two oceans. although the wreckage of the dike and two earth slides, one at Cucarcha and another at Gold Hill, must be cut through before the canal actually can be opened.
 Destruction of Gamboa dike will be celebrated not only at the White House but all along the Pacific coast
 When the electric current started by President Wilson traverses the land wires to Galveston and passes beneath the Gulf of Mexico by cable to the isth- mus, the canal engineers expect the spark to explode the thousand charges of dynamite which have been buried in the 300 feet of dilxe which at pres ent stands between Gatun lake and the famous CulebPa cut,
 A fleet of dredges will attack the slides as soon as they have cleared the wReckage of the dike, and although Colonel G0ethalS in his telegram to the canal commission today made no pre- dietien, it is believed it will be pessi- ble for the lighter beats used by the canal diggefs t6 pass from ocean to ocean iii $ few weeks

New York, Oct. 9.-Proposed church legislation on the subject of marriage and divorce occupied the attention Of the house of deputies today at the tri- ennia1 general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church Discus sion of the ne temere" promulgation of the Roman Catholic church regard ing marriage between Catholics and nCa- Catholics led to d suggestion on the floor of the convention that the Episcopal church agitate before con gress q constitutional amendment pre- scribing definitely what shall consti- tute validity of marriage in this coun- try.
 Special Commission of Fifteen.
 The diocese of western New York re- quested the convention to consider the situation created by the Roman Cath olic prOmulgatiOn, the diocese urging that the marriage tie should uOt be dealt with other than as the holy scrip lures and the laws of this land based thereon allowed"
 The Rev. Dr. w. J. Ashton of Clean, N. r., offered a resolution that the house bishops COncurring, a special commission Of~4ive bishops, five Pres byterers and five laymen be appointed to consider and report to the next gen. eral convention the whole subject of marriage and respectfully on the grounds of assumed authority of the Church of Rome to declare that only those marriages are valid which are contracted according to the terms of ne temere' decree so far as the opera tion of said decree affects members of this communion who contract mixed marriages"
 Resolution on Marriage of Divorcees.
 The suggestion that the church seek enactment of an amendment to the United States constitution was formal ly made by Dr. Ashton after discus sion of the matter. Resolution and the Ashton amendment were referred to the committee on canOns. to be report ed back to the house of deputies

TAFT PAYS TRIBUTE
 TO CITY OF BOSTON
Resembles Cities of Ancient Times in
 Having Distinctive Character.

Boston, Mass Oct. 9-Boston as a city of distinctive character was the subject of an appreciation by former President William Howard Taft to- night The occasion was dinner in connection with the laying of the cor nerstcne of a new building for the Boston City club at which Professor Taft oftciated today.
 q think l may venture to say" the former president told his hearers, "that if one were to ask himself what city in this country more resembles a city of ancient times in having a distinctive character, and in shedding the light of a beneficent influence in the world at large, he would unhesitatingly say Boston. Tn prosperity, in business energy, in architectural development, in beauty of her surroundings, in edu- cational system, in provision for the comfort and health of all her citizens, she is conspicuous among our cities.
 ''She has been called the Athens of America. I don't like such a. compart- son, for Boston has a character all her CWn."
