The Tariff Bill.

President Wilson has been figura
lively with pen in hand fer some days.
He has been eager to put it down upon
the ed-bordered parchment and write
his name. making the tariff bill law.
The hour for that has seemed near for
a week. but the President has waited
and waited and not till Friday last was
there any certainty. Then the con-
ferees broke their prolonged councli
at the rooms of the Senate finance COM
mittee The eager groups standing
without, pressed forward to learn what
had been accomplished and ascertained
TINT a agreements had been reached on
differences between the two houses But
even then the president must wait for
a season before he could sign, wait till
the House had deliberated and till the
Serate had deliberated, which is oe-
cupyiag time, this week.
Somehow or other it had been
cherished Democratic hope that the
tariff would become law by October !.
That was made impossible by the long
delay Of senators and representatives
composing the conference. But some
time late this week, presumably, inn
to bring in the millions of dollars
worth of goods which have been wait
ing in bonded warehouses for the day
when the tariff bill has become law.
There are said to be $780, 600 worth
of these goods but the amount will be
cut down greatly by the eleventh hour
decision of the conferees to defer free
wool until December / and to continue
in force the present duties on WOODEN
goods till January next. That is
something of a concession to New Eng
land and. alike, to the wool growers of
the West who want to market this
seasons clip.
Apart from appropriation bills, two
having been left over from last ses-
sion, the first bill to become q law un-
der the Wilson administration, promises
to be one creating an additional land
district in the state of Nevada. 1t has
passed Senate and House and awaits
the Presidents signature, which will
give Nevada Democrats two nice plac-
es for some of their faithful ones Con-
sideration of that bill in the House
gave the Republicans opportunity for a
big assault on caucus rule as eXempli-
fled by the Democratic administration
to date. The tariff, however. will be
the first law of magnitude to be signed
by President Wilson.

PRESIDENT WILSON
Plans For Improvement of the
District Government Are
Talked Over.

At a conference lasting more than an
hour, Commissioners Newman and Sid
don laid before President Wilson a
number of plans which they have under
way for improvements in the District
government.
Since they too kOffice. the two Com
missioners have been making a thor
ough study of the present system OF
administration, and the results of their
study were laid before the President in
detail. They told him, moreover, OF
certain reforms which they have in
mind concerning the supervision OF
the public utilities of Washington with
they are concerned as members of the
Public Utilities Commission. They de-
clined, however, to make public what
these reforms are.
obviously" said Mr.. Newman as the
Commissioners were leaving the White
House, I'VE could not announce every
step we are about to take towards more
progressive methods of government. The
President is deeply interested in ouI
work and expressed the hope that we
would keep in touch with him constant.
H. Among other things we discussed
the invitation from France for this city
. to participate in the model city eXposi'
ton at Lyons. but reached no conclusion
that I am at liberty to announce"
The Commissioners said that they had
not discussed the question of Mr. Kalb-
| fus' resignation, nor the question of Mr..
OYSTERS eligibility as his successor.

had never criticised the President and
would vote to sustain him. he objected
20 secrecy or the suppression of discus
sion, and declared there was a growing
sentiment of resentment in every State
against the policy of secrecy.
Senator Kern quoted with Commcnda-
tor from q recent speech of former
Vice President Fairbanks in favor of a
peaceful policy and against intervention.
Senator Kern declared the President a
safe man to follow.
Senator Bristow took issue with those
who regarded all Americans in Mexico
as undesirables and adventures. He
said many people from his State were
there and they were not of the undesir-
able class.
Following the debate today, various
Senators expressed the view that the
tone of discussion in the Senate would
have a good effect. 1t was pointed out,
in the debate and later. that the Huerta
governmgent somehow had the impres.
sion that the Senate was not back OF
the President, but that 1t was likely To
get a different impression after today.
Many Senators feel that this is likely 10

far taken them.

denly they scattered and ran in different
direction, screaming at the top of their
voices. Looking around, Stakeholder
saw a dog running around in circle
In their midst As the children started
running the animal commenced chasing
them and swapping at their heels The
dog was foaming at the mouth, and was
apparently infected with rabies
Stakeholder started toward the dog,
intending to shoot II. When shot
distance away, the dog started after
a little girl and snapped at her. The
officer increased his pace and reached
the dog just as he made a second
lunge at the child, apparently trying
to bite her IN the face. He grabbed
the dog with his right hand. but, as he
did so, the animal bit him on the
other hand. Stakeholder then took
hold of the dog with his wounded hand
and held him until he sent bullet
through the animals brain.
The policeman walked to Emergency
Hospital where the wound was cauter-
ized- ana. IL II Is found that the dog
was mad. he will take the Pasteur
treatment. at the Hygienic laboratory
of the Public Health Service.

Long Tariff Speeches

Taxation Of Senators who insist
on making long tariff speeches
was the irOnical suggestion to-

ness against protracted Senate

-0ne of the immigration Off
cials at court, who declined to
permit the use of his name, out
Iimed the Canadian govern

case as follows:
There seems to be an idea on the
part of American officials who
are here that the Canadian i'm
migration service can be used
as a tool for collecting escaped
criminals from the United
StnteS.
"They are overlooking the fact
that. we do not depOrt men be-

This will also have to be proved on
the Canadian side beyond the mere
verdict OF an American court. Such
a process would take a long time and
Thaw and his advisers have carefully
studied the law involved. The fact
that he chose Quebec, the nror
which has proved SO difficult in other
eNtradiction- cases, indicates that he
acted with delibertion. The prelim-
mary hearing today. at SherbrOoke
! seems to have been duly considered.
