Finishing Touches to Tariff
Bill Will Be Applied Today

Underwood and Senator Simmons, tho
tariff leaders Of The two bodies, have
led TO an understanding that little
time will be consumed in the confer
ence discussion Of the bill It was
predicted today that the measure
probably would be ready for the presi-
dent within ten days.
Republican protests against the ap-
pointment Of Senator La Toilette. who
voted for the bill, as one OF the re-
publican conferees on the mattsr.
brought a declaration today from SEN
ator Simmons that La Follette's ap-
pointment was entirely fair to the re-
publicans.
while Senator La Toilette voted for
the tariff bill, he voted against most OF
the amendments we offered" said Sem
ator Simmons, "and these amendments
are the subjects which the conference
committee will consider. We do not
feel that his presence adds TO the
democratic strength on the committee,
as he has opposed many Of the I'm
portsnt changes we have made In the
bill"

German Manufacturers Are
Against Making an Exhibit

missions Investigation was alleged to
have embraced chiefly the so-called
heavy industry. the commercial treaty
association addressed firms manufac
turing metal wares, machinery, tex
tiles, porcelain. leather. rubber, food
stuffs, etc, choosing those houses
which it was thought most probably
would be interested in the exposition
and particularly the manufacturers
exporting goods to the United States.
About one-third of the answers were
based on the American tariff policy.
Another third foresaw impractical re-
suits from this special exhibition on
account of San Francisco being SO far
from the principal business and rail-
way centers and because the cost of
concentration at this exhibition would
be higher than ever before. Many
firms declared a decided principle

Putin Bay, Ohio, Sept. 10.-A tow
ering shaft of white marble, erected in
oommemoration of Commodore oliver
Hazard Perry's victory in the battle of
Lake Erie and the century of peace
between the United States and Great
Britain, formally was dedicated today
by former President Taft. inaugural
ing the dedication ceremonies, cannon
doomed at the hour of the firing of the
first gun in the battle, fought one hun
dred years ago today within view of
the Putin Bay shores.
"a century ago today this bay was
made famous BY a battle" said Mr.
Taft, and today we meet to dedicate
a monument to those who took part
I'm the retrospection of one hundred
years we can weigh its significance.
Nothing has developed in these years
to diminish the courage, patriotism
and skill of the commander and his
men as they appeared to their contem-
poraries.
But the consequences of the battle
and the war of which it was one of
the few bright spots in a field Of gloons
were Striking benefcent and promise
to grow even more so in the second
century upon which we are now en-
tering.''
Mr. Taft then sketched the biography
of Commodore Perry, from his birth In
Rhode Island on the 23rd of August
1855. to the supreme moment Of his
career-the naval cement off West
Sister island hundred years ago
and to his sudden death in Venezuela
on his thirty-fourth birthday. His
youth the difficulties encountered in
building and manning his fleet and his
courage in the crisis which turned the
tide of victory were made the subjects
Of Mr.. Taft's eulogy.
when we note the almost hand to
hand fight in which he was engaged"
he said, "the slaughter upon the deck
of his flagship, his passage from one
vessel to another in an open boat, eX-
posed to the direct fire of the enemy
and then note how he took a second
flagship and bore down upon his two
formidable assailants and made them
strike their colors in ten minutes, we
see one worthy to rank with Lord
Nelson and all the great naval COM
manders in history. When he fought
the battle he was not yet twenty eight
years of age, the age of Napoleon at
Lodi and of Nelson at Cape st. Vim
cent.
I'VE lay down the record of his life
and drop tear upon its tragic closing
and we can truly place him among the
great heroes of our history and thank
God for the beneficence Of his great
example Throughout his short and
brilliant career he maintained the
highest level of eqUanimity, patriotism
and devotion TO duty.

CURRENCY BILL
ON ITS WAY TO
STATUTE BOOKS
With The Tariff Bill Prac-
tically Out of the Way,
President Wilson Takes
Up Next Great Measure
With Senate Steering
Committees.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 1o.-The admin
istration currency bill today started
on it's devious way to the statute
books when Chairman Glass, Of the
house banking committee and one of
the fathers of the measure, opened the
currency debate in the house. In a
long speech, Mr.. Glass expounded the
principles underlying the bill and re-
piled to various criticisms of the
measure The democrats hope to con-
clude the general debate on the bill
this week and begin its detailed con-
sideration Monday
Mr.. Glass replied at length to crit
icism that the federal reserve board.
placed by the bill in control of the
proposed financial system, would, with
its wide powers, be subject to poliu-
cal influence.
NO POLITICS IN BILL.
There is no politics in this mat
ter; there can be none. 1t is my
earnest conviction, based upon long
and serious reflection, that no man can
conceive las none yet has pointed out
how any part of this system can be
perverted to political uses" said he.
Il happened to be present when an
eminent banker suggested such a pos
sibili tx To- he presnnt oGeHpant ae
THE executfve chaff and heard THIS
banker vainly challenged to show how
it might be done. 1 shall not soon
forget the emphasis with which the
president of the United States de-
clared that no man would ever be
found who would be willing to inn
peril his reputation or tarnish his
fame by so fragrant a prostitution Of
his high office"
Mr.. Glass declared that opposition
to the bill by bankers was caused by
the fact that the bill would sever the
relations between banks and stock
gambling.
1.-THE whole fight of the great banK-
ers is to drive US from our firm re-
solve to break down the artificial con-
nection between the banking business
of this country and the stock .specu-
lative operations at the money CEN
ters," he said.
'"The avowed purpose OF this bill Is
to cure this evil. They do not want
existing arrangements disturbed; they
desire to perpetuate q fictitious, an
scientific system, sanctioned by law,
but condemned by experience and BIT
terly offensive to the American peo-
plea system which everybody knows
encourages and promotes the worst
description of stock gambling.
REAL OPPOSITION.
THE real opposition to this bill IS
not as to government control, upon
which we shall never yield; it is not
as to the capital subscription re-
quired, which is precisely that of the
American scheme unanimously en-
dorsed by the American bankers as
ISOLATION; it is not the per cent divi-
dend allowed member banks, the exact
limit prescribed in the Aldrich bill;
it is not as to compulsory member
ship, which was provided in another
way in the Aldrich scheme; it is not
as to the bond refunding PROPOSE
