DEMOCRATS HOPE TO
END THEIR SQUABBLE
BELIEVE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
BRING TARIFF BILL TO
SENATE TOMORROW

Washington, Sept. 5.-Democrats
of the senate began early today what
administration leaders hoped would
be the last caucus over the stumbling
blocks in the tariff bill. Every POS
sible effort was being made to rush
odds and ends OF the measure into
place for a vote on the bill in the
senate by tomorrow night.
The senate waited until 2 p. M
while the democrats were endeayor-
ing to agree on an amendment to
the income tax and satisfy differences
in their ranks on minor points.
After several hours debate on va
rious amendments to Increase the
tax on larger incomes the
caucus finally adopted the amendment
prepared in the finance committee by
Senator Smith of Georgia. That
leaves the normal tax at one per cent
on a 100000 minimum and provides
an additional tax of one per cent on
incomes over $4,000 to $5O,O0O; two
per cent additional on incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000; three per
cent on incomes from $4,000 to $780,
900; four per cent on incomes be-
tween $780, 900 and S25O.00O five per
cent $25O,OOO to s5OO,OOO, and six per
cent additional on incomes in excess
of $5OO,OOO
It would tax incomes over $5OO,OOO
seven per cent After disposing Of
the income tax the caucus took up
the proposed bill on cotton futures
deals which was originally proposed
by Senator Clarke Of Arkansas, but
which Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima insisted should be amended so as
to affect only illegitimate transactions.

THE WHITE SLAVE LAW, SAYS
THE JURlsT

COUNSEL FOR ACCUSED MAN DE-
CLARE THE COURT DID NOT
ACT FAIRLY

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-The case
of F. Drew Caminetti, charged with
violation Of the Mann white slave traf.
f1c act, was given to the jury shortly
after noon today
Judge Van Fleet, in charging the
jury. used in many passages the iden-
tical language he employed in charg-
ing the Diggs jury.
In touching on the contention Of the
defense that "this whole case Sim
mers down to question Of purpose.
he said:
IF you find that these girls were
taken to Reno as testified to by them,
and that while there the defendant
and his companion Diggs cohabited
with them, then you may find that
they were taken there with such pur-
pose and intent. That is, if the evil
dence on behalf Of defendant as to
his actuating motive in taking these
girls with him on that occasion does
not accord with his act, you may dis
card that evidence, if it does not car
ry conviction to your minds, and base
your findings on his nstent upon me
acts committed by him.
aAnd even should you find that the
defendant and his companion Diggs
were actuated in their departure or
flight from Sacramento by fear Of
exposure or arrest, but that neverthe-
less in taking these two girls with
them, there existed the intention to
subject them to the immoral purposes
charged, then you will be justified i'm
finding the defendant guilty.
IF that immoral purpose was one
motive inducing him to take these
girls with him. It would matter not
that he may also have been actuated
by his fears or other considerations
moving him to make that trip; he
would nevertheless be guilty"
Marshall Woodworth took exception
for the defense to the charges as a
whole and in part, and to the refusal
to give certain instructions requested
by the defense.
The jury was allowed to go to lun-
cheon at 1880 o'clock and was to re-
sumo its deliberations at 2:3O p. m.

PICKS MANUEL DE zAMACONA
SELECTION is REGARDED IN THIS
COUNTRY AS AN EXCEL.
LENT ONE
IS A FORMER AMBASSADOR
PROVISIONAL PRESIDENTS Ac-
TIoNs FORECASTS HIS
RETIREMENT

Washington, Sept. 5.-Manuel DE
zamacona y Inclan, former Mexican
ambassador to the United States and
until recently financial agent for the
government in London, will endeavor
to carry forward in Washington the
negotiations between the Huerta adj
ministration and the United States for
a solution of the revolutionary prob
lem.
Zamacona comes primarily to con
tinue the negotiations begun with
John Lind, but his ultimate object is
to secure for the Mexican government
the loan which the United States de-
clared in its second note it would en-
courage American bankers to float if
the Huerta government accepted the
chief American proposals.
The administration here was sound
ed out as to the mission of Senior
Zamacona and had not yet given its
answer when the latter started from
Vera Cruz yesterday.
There seemed to be little doubt to-
day in official circles that the Wash
ington administration would receive
zamacona under certain conditions, as
he is well known here and regarded
as one Of the ablest Of Mextcans. Zam-
aconas affiliations, however, have
been with the financial instead of the
diplomatic side Of the Mexican gov
eminent.
Some of the constitutionalists in
Washington look upon him as the
agent of the "sientifico" or financial
group that for a long time ruled Mexi-
co.'s affairs, AS he had been such
little participant in Mexican politics
because of his long absence abroad
others are inclined to regard him as
of on-participant disposition toward
the present situation
The coming of zamacona produce
an optimistic effect in official circles.
The offer of encouragement for a loan
to Mexico had been conditioned on
the acceptance of the chief proposals
made by the United States. The ap-
parent decision of Huerta to send
Zamacona before word was received
from Washington was taken to mean
today that the Huerta government
had, in effect, accepted the American
stipulation that Huerta should not be
a candidate for election. Though
there is no assurance on record posi-
lively excluding Huerta from the
presidential contest the Washington
government is taking it for granted
that he will not run and is likely to
encourage a loan under conditions
that will further the effort to bring
about a cessation Of hostilities and a
constitutional election.
The White House has taken the
position also with respect to the loan
that if Mexico accepted the American
proposals for the establishment Of
peace in the southern republic. it was
incumbent on the United States in re
turn to assist in the financial rehabil-
itation Of the country

A pro-Thaw outbreak followed Jer-
ONES arrest. Crowds gathered about
the Jail shouting Hooray' for Thaw!

Thaw's lawyers discIaimed any
knowledge of the arrest. The belief
prevailed that it was due solely 10 i'll
feeling among the townspeople, who
resented Jerome's presence.
Mr.. Jerome, as a specially appoint
ed deputy attorney general of the
state Of New York, is the leader Of
the anti-Thaw forces here. Mr.. Jer-
ONE was taken into custody at his
hotel, the Coaticook House, by Po-

a matter of fact, he had INDUCED in

suit case for table and sat in an
automobile waiting for the end Of the
Thaw hearing.
News of the arrest Of Jerome swept
through the town like wild fire. The

been adjourned.

STORM DOES DAMAGE
ON CAROLINA COAST
REGION NEAR CAPE HATTERAs is
SWEPT BY A DISASTROUS
HURRICANE

Norfolk, va, Sept. with the tele-
graph wires still down it was impos-
sible today to get detailed informa-
tion of the havoc wrought by Wednes-
days storm on the North Carolina
coast between Cape Hatteras and
Ocracoke on the loves coast
The six-masted schooner George W..
Wells, which went ashore south Of
Hatteras has gone to pieces.
The twenty men, two women and
two infants, rescued from the schoon-
er Wells are being temporarily cared
for in the vicinity Of OcracolSe Inlet
and the Durant life saving stations.
The schooner reported ashore three
miles Of Ocracoke is believed to have
been the schooner Annie r. Heidritter,
heretofore reported drifting helplessly
eight miles southwest Of Diamond
Shoals with her rudder broken and
otherwise disabled. The revenue cut
ter Nellie has gone to the
schooner's assistance.
An unknown oil ship reported
ashore below Ocracoke was today still
unidentified
The storm on the Carolina coast
was the most severe in many years,
and the damage done was large. The
rivers, which flooded the country for
many miles, have for the most part
subsided.
Unless the Ocracoke disaster is con-
firmed the loss Of life appears TO have
been small.

the healthfulness of the various
regions under consideration. 1t is pro-
per that he should, for his all is usual
ly at stake.
Again, upper Wisconsin invites the
most careful Investigations. The new
settler will consult the government re-
cords and will find that of the states
whose records are accepted by the nat
ioual health bureau, Wisconsin stands
with the three lowest in mortality,
with practically no difference, and
when he consults the state statistics to
get the record by smaller divisions he
will find that the lowest mortality is in
the upper countries.
But mortality in not the only ele-
ment in this consideration. The inqulr-
er will find that the climate of upper
Wisconsin IS promotive Of vigor and
freedom from throat diseases affect
, ions that make life miserable in many
sections. He will find the summer
ynificent and that the winter have a
/ dry atmosphere with little wind. The
I Indian summers of upper Wisconsin are
q period to be enjoyed rather than des-
cribed. 1t is a climate promotive of
vigor in human, animal and plant life.
If the winter were any warmer it
would mean loss of the snc@ that

fort and health and in its place mud
and sleet and dampness that we are all
so anxious to avoid. 1t has well been
said that the 'overcoat people" make
