delphia, who is also interested in the
project, accompanied her.
1.-THE Santa Claus mail' project of
Miss Wilson has for its object to
spread the real spirit Of Christmas by
sending toys to hundreds Of destitute
children.
Miss Wilson had previously received
from Vice President Marshall letter

vice presidents letter was as follows:
Dear Miss wilson-1n spite OF all dogma
and ell doubt the world believes that the
sweetest baby ever born was born in tho
Manager 1T Bethlehem. The world cannot
properly celebrate his birthday unless it
remembers that every baby born is enti-
tied to some sweetness and light.
welcome with great pleasure therefore
your proposed distribution Of Christmas
gifts to all the needy and unfortunate
children. Such service will not only bless
him who takes. but also him who gives.
The world will be far better for this labor
Of love. hope the congress Of the Unit
ed States will make it possible to dis
tribute such gifts without payment Of
postage. Faithfully yours.

Thirty Seconds More.
AT nine O'Clock the following morn

Jack Warford had been the first to
arrive. Mccarthy did not seem sur.
prised to see them; nor did he greet
them with belligerence.
"Well?" he demanded.
''Well?" repeated barrow, sinking
gracefully on one corner Of the table.
"You're an old fool. Mccarthy. What
good did you think it would do you to
arrest me?"

the boss frankly, but was too busy"
Sweat me, eh?" demanded Darrow,
with some amusement. so you de-

of enthusiasm on the part of the po-

Darrow held out his hand. After a
moments hesitation Mccarthy thrust

Washington, Oct. 10.-lf the consent
Of Representative Underwood and other
house leaders can be had tomorrow a
Joint resolution will be passed thru
congress within few days repeating
that portion Of the new tariff law au-
thorizing per cent tariff rebate on
goods brought to this country in
American owned ships.
The decision to ask for the repeal of
the clause was reached by administra-
ton officials today after experts of the
state and treasury. departments had de-
cided that to carry cut its exact terms
would mean a reduction Of per cent
In tariff on goods from practically all
Of the chief exporting countries ex-
cept Brazil, France and Russia. After
q conference with President Wilson,
in which the latter gave his endorse
n1ent to the plan. Solicitor Joseph w.
Folk, of the state department, took
up with congressional leaders tonight
the plan to have, the Objectionable
clause eliminated from the tariff law.
Assurance by Simmons.
Senator Simmons, chairman Of the
senate finance committee. gave assur-
ance that the senate undoubtedly would
agree to a repeal OF the entire clause.
as It had originally rejected 1t. An
attempt was made to reach Represen-
tative Underwood over the long dis
lance telephone. but Mr.. Folk could
NOT locate him in Atlantic City, where
he had gone for short vacation. It
is expected Mr.. Underwood will be con-
suited tomorrow and that house lead
ers will accept the decision Of the ad-
ministration that the provision should
be taken out Of the new law.
Foreign countries. including Ger
many, France and Spain, which claim
they would be severely Disseminated
against by the shipping clause. have
made strong protests to the state de-
partment, and It Is realized that re-

France has sent notification that It

whether its imports are to be penaazea'
and Austria has made like inquiries.
