RETURN OF GENERAL DIAz
WOULD BRING HARMnNv

washington, ID. c., Sept. 30.-Offffical
washington gossiped today about the
ngpoIIed recall Of Gen. Porfirio Diaz
NO tangible explanation was forth
coming here Of the motive back OF the
summons.
one theory advanced was that Pro
vlslonal President Huerta was en-
eayorln to demonstrate that tranquil
conditions reigned. Another wa that
the former president of Mexico might
throw his influence to secure the cleo
tion OF FREDERICK Gamboa. 1t was
thought also that the return of Por-
llrlo Diaz would insure harmony among
some factions.
Doubt is being expressed in various
quarters here as to the practicability
pr holding an election October 26. The
llack OF communication and the spor-
ad1c uprisings and disorders leads to
the belief that even If an election is
held the liberals in the Mexican con-
gress would succeed in blocking ratif1-
cations because no majority of the

Would Like to See Duty
Done Away With But
Wouldn't Kill Business
MEANS PRESENT DUTY
OF 12O PER CENT
Il Agreement is Reached with Louisi-
ana Senators on Sugar Schedule
there will he Enough Votes to Pass
Tariff Bill With Free Wool.

Washington, April 4.-President
Wilson would like to see free sugar.
but recognized that concession may
be necessary to the southern planters,
and would consent to duty of practi-
cally one cent net per pound, provided
all duty be removed within three
years. This means for the present
duty of 1.20 cent to all countries ex-
cept Cuba.
If the president arrives at an agree
ment with the Louisiana senators on
the sugar schedule, there will be
enough votes, it is generally assumed,
to pass the tariff bill with free wool.
On all other schedules, there is sub
dent and congress.
The president has been told that
either free wool or free sugar might
pass, but both could not. This was
the status today of the informal tar
if conference between the president
and congressman.
The president declared he did not
desire to destroy the sugar business,
as the Louisiana senator-elect said no
duty would. but Wilson hoped that
within three years then such a read
justment of the sugar business in
Louisiana would be affected that the
rest of the United States could have
free sugar. The ways and means COM
mittee and the senate finance commit
tee are meeting today. The president
expects to hear definitely on the atti-
tude OF the senate after the finance
committee meeting.
