Without Material Amendment.

Washington, April 19.-Democrats OF
tariff revision today with the expecta-
ton of completing by. nightfall the; ad-
! 1ninistrative provision of the bill and
disposing Of numerous ways and means
committee amendments.
These amendments do not affect the
substance Of the bill to any extent but
are intended to clarity and strengthen
the language of the measure and in
clude q few relatively unimportant
changes in rates which commended
themselves to the committee in recent
communications to the ways and
means committee majority. SO far the
only substantial change made in the
bill has been the transfer Of shoe ma
chinery to the free list.
The republicans of the ways and
means committee also conferred today
over the amendments which they pro-
pose to offer as substitutes for the
democratic wool and cotton schedules.
'rhe ways and means committee ma
iority agreed today to an amendment
to transfer buckwheat and rye to the
free list and to add savings banks mot
conducted for profit to the list of eN-
emptions from the operation of the in
come tax. They We're reported later
to the caucus. There were no changes
to the items of wheat. on which the
millers have been making a great figh;
because of the putting of flour on tho
free list.

democratic leader Underwood, said he
expected the tariff bill would be COM
pleted in caucus by tonight AS
amended it will be reintroduced in the

munition Missing-Msxiean Consular
Officials Declare Americans Per-
mittsd Shipment Of Ammunition to
Naco.

Ell Paso, April 19-The Mexican
federal garrison at Juarez found itself
in a predicament today. Some daring
person had made away with the am
munition and the breech blocks Of all
cannon and machine guns, rendering
the pieces useless. Complicating the
situation was the fact that during the
siege Of Naco, Sonora, large ship
ment Of ammunition was sent thru the
United States for the relief Of General
Ojada and now Col. Juan N. Vasquez
finds himself in command Of plenty OF
men at Juarez but with virtually no
artillery and little ammunition.
Jose Pierce who was Madero Of
fetal in the border town, was arrested
but the breech blocks, which may be
duplicated only after much expense
and time. have not been found. The lost
ammunition is no less easily recovered.
Mexican consular officials declare it
was shipped to Naco by permission Of
the United States customs and military
officials here.
The car was not permitted to cross
to the Mexican side and remained here
at Naco by order Of American officials.
Juarez. 1t Is predicted, soon may need
the ammunition as well as the breech
blocks.
Pesos fluttering around the As cents
mark have caused somewhat OF pam
ic along the border, not only in bank
ing but in mercantile circles. Food
stufrs prices are soaring in Chihuahua
City and Juares.
The El Paso banking exchange is
keeping one point below the Mexico
